CONTINENTAL MATERIALS CORPORATION

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION FORM 10-Q

NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 28, 2019

(Unaudited)

1.    Basis of Presentation:

Basis of Presentation:

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Continental Materials Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 29, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (none of which were other than normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods and to ensure the financial statements are not misleading. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2018 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2019 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated results of operations, the net change in cash or the total assets, liabilities or shareholders’ equity of the Company. During the quarter ended March 30, 2019 the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Transit Mix Concrete Company’s ready-mix business and Daniels sand operation. The assets and liabilities related to these operations are presented as held for sale in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. See Note 15. Accordingly, the operations of these businesses are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Revenue Recognition:

Effective December 31, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and related amendments, which creates a single source of revenue guidance for all companies in all industries and is more principles-based than previous revenue guidance. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard did not result in significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies, business processes, systems or controls, or have a material impact on its financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows. As such, prior period financial statements were not recast and there was no cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption.

Sales are recognized when control of the promised goods or services transfers to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s payment terms generally range between 30 to 90 days after invoice is billed to the customer. Sales are reported net of sales tax. Shipping and other transportation costs paid by the Company and rebilled to the buyer are recorded gross (as both sales and cost of sales). The Company generally recognizes revenue from the sale of products at the time the products are shipped.

While the return of products is generally not allowed, some large customers have been granted the right to return a certain amount at the end of the normal selling season for seasonal products. Sales returns and allowances are estimated based on current program terms and historical experience. Provisions for estimated returns, discounts, volume rebates and other price adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recognized and are netted against revenues.

The Company is responsible for warranties related to the manufacture of its HVAC products and estimates the future warranty claims based upon historical experience and management estimates. The Company reviews warranty and related claims activities and records provisions as necessary.

7

The Company performs installation services for certain projects within its Door segment. Management determined there are two performance obligations related to most of these contracts, the equipment and the installation services. The transaction price for these contracts is allocated to each performance obligation based on its stated stand-alone selling price. Revenue is recognized at a point in time as each performance obligation is completed. No maintenance or service contracts are offered by the Company.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial information in order to conform to the current period’s presentation, including a change to the Company’s reporting segments. See Note 7 for further information and for disaggregation of revenue by segment.

Leases

Effective December 30, 2018 (the beginning of fiscal 2019) the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which superseded Topic 840, “Leases”. As allowed under the new accounting standard, the Company elected to apply practical expedients to carry forward the original lease determinations, lease classifications and accounting of initial direct costs for all asset classes at the time of adoption. The Company also elected not to separate lease components from non-lease components for asset categories, except office space, and to exclude short-term leases from its Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the office space lease category the election was made to report lease and non-lease components separately as the non-lease components are billed and paid separately and are not a fixed amount over the lease term. The implicit discount rate of leases is used to calculate present values when available. When an implicit discount rate is not readily available an incremental borrowing rate is used to calculate present values.

2.    Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method that requires deferred income taxes to reflect the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized are based on the tax rates in effect in the year in which differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based on available positive and negative evidence, it is “more likely than not” (greater than a 50% likelihood) that some or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted December 22, 2017, eliminated the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) and allows for all existing credit carryforwards to be used to offset regular tax liability for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Additionally, for tax years 2018, 2019 and 2020, to the extent that the AMT credit carryover exceeds the regular tax liability, 50% of the excess AMT credit is refundable. Any remaining credits will be fully refundable in 2021. For state tax purposes, net operating losses can be carried forward for various periods for the states that the Company is required to file in. California Enterprise Zone credits can be used through 2023 while Colorado credits can be carried forward for 7 years. The Company has established a valuation reserve related to a portion of the California Enterprise Zone credit not expected to be utilized prior to expiration.

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and state tax authorities. The amounts recorded for income taxes reflect the Company’s tax positions based on research and interpretations of complex laws and regulations. The Company accrues liabilities related to uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns. The Company did not identify any such uncertain tax positions as of September  28, 2019 or December 29, 2018.

3.    Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2	Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

8

Level 3 Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability including assumptions about risk.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying balance sheet:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amount approximates fair value and was valued as Level 1.

Revolving Bank Loan Payable: Fair value is estimated based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities and determined through the use of a discounted cash flow model. The carrying amount of the Revolving Bank Loan Payable represents a reasonable estimate of the corresponding fair value as the Company’s debt is held at variable interest rates and was valued as Level 2.

Phantom equity and phantom equity appreciation liability awards: Fair value is estimated based on the use of a Black-Scholes option pricing model based on publically available inputs. The carrying amount of the liability represents a reasonable estimate of the vested portion of the corresponding fair value of the awards granted and was valued as Level 2.

Contingent consideration: Fair value is estimated based on the use of a Monte Carlo Simulation model based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which are considered Level 3 inputs in accordance with ASC Topic 820.

ARO for asset impairment: Fair value is estimated using an expected present value technique using estimated cash flows over a period of time and then discounting the expected cash flows using a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate using significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which are considered Level 3 inputs in accordance with ASC Topic 820.

There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels of any financial instruments in the current quarter.

4.    In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This new revenue standard created a single source of revenue guidance for all companies in all industries and is more principles-based than prior revenue guidance. Subsequently, the FASB issued various ASUs to provide further clarification around certain aspects of ASC 606. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. See Note 1 for further discussion of the Company’s revenue recognition policies and practices.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change in total cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and did not have a material impact to the consolidated statement of cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which superseded Leases (Topic 840). The new accounting standard was effective for the Company beginning on December 30, 2018 (the beginning of fiscal 2019) and required the recognition on the balance sheet of right-of-use assets (ROU) and lease liabilities for all long-term leases, including operating leases. The Company elected the optional transition method and adopted the new guidance on December 30, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis with no restatement of prior period amounts. As allowed under the new accounting standard, the Company elected to apply practical expedients to carry forward the original lease determinations, lease classifications and accounting of initial direct costs for all asset classes at the time of adoption. The Company also elected not to separate lease components from non-lease components for most asset categories and to exclude short-term leases from its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of ROUs of $5,353,000 and liabilities of $5,427,000 related to operating leases, with no material cumulative effect adjustment to equity as of the date of adoption. In connection with the adoption of this guidance, as required, the Company reclassified deferred rent

9

liabilities as reductions to lease assets. Adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income or Cash Flows. See Note 13.

There are no other significant prospective accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

5.    Historically, operating results of the Company for the first half of the year were not necessarily indicative of performance for the entire year due to the seasonality of most of the Company’s products. Management believes the recent disposal and acquisition activity should help smooth the seasonality of the Company’s portfolio and make operating results more consistent.

6.    There is no difference in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the three-month or nine-month periods ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 as the Company does not have any dilutive instruments.

7.    The Company sold substantially all of the assets of its ready mix concrete and Daniels sand operations in the first quarter of 2019. See Note 15. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company acquired the assets of four operating businesses through three separate transactions. See Note 16 for additional discussion of the acquisitions. In conjunction with these transactions management reviewed its segment reporting structure and determined it was no longer appropriate for the consolidated business going forward. The segment reporting was revised to align with the way the Company’s decision makers evaluate, manage and allocates resources to the operating businesses after the sale of the concrete and aggregates assets of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as TMC) and the acquisitions discussed below. Segment information for prior periods has been reclassified to conform to current segment reporting structure.

The Company operates primarily in the Building Products industry group. Within this industry group the Company has identified three reportable segments: the HVAC segment, the Door segment and the Construction Materials segment.

The HVAC segment produces and sells a variety of products including wall furnaces, fan coils, evaporative coolers, boiler room equipment and dryer boxes and related accessories from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Williams Furnace Co. (WFC) of Colton, California, Phoenix Manufacturing, Inc. (PMI) of Phoenix, Arizona, Global Flow Products /American HVAC (GFP) of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and Inovate Dryer Technologies (Inovate) of Jupiter, Florida. Sales of this segment are nationwide although WFC and PMI sales are more concentrated in the southwestern United States. The Door segment sells hollow metal and wood doors, door frames and related hardware, sliding door systems and electronic access and security systems from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries: McKinney Door and Hardware, Inc. (MDHI), Fastrac Building Supply (Fastrac) and Serenity Sliding Door Systems (Serenity), which operate out of facilities in Pueblo and Colorado Springs, Colorado. Sales of this segment are concentrated in Colorado, California and the Northwestern United States although door sales are also made throughout the United States. The Construction Materials segment offers aggregates and construction supplies from locations along the Southern Front Range of Colorado operated by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Castle Aggregates and Castle Rebar & Supply of Colorado Springs, and TMOP Legacy Company (formerly Transit Mix of Pueblo, Inc.) of Pueblo, Colorado (the three companies collectively are referred to as the Castle Companies). During the quarter ended September 28, 2019 the Company determined to cease mining at its Pikeview aggregates quarry as continuing mining operations was no longer in the best interest of the consolidated portfolio. Accordingly, the Company recognized a $20,217,000 charge to record the reclamation liability associated with the property. The Company expects most of the reclamation to be completed by an outside party over approximately the next five years. See Note 19 for additional discussion.

In addition to the above reporting segments, an “Unallocated Corporate and Other” classification is used to report the unallocated expenses of the corporate office, which provides treasury, insurance and tax services as well as strategic business planning and general management services. Expenses related to the corporate information technology group are allocated to all locations, including the corporate office. The classification also includes expenses related to a property held by the Company which are not material to the consolidated Company.

10

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on a number of criteria including operating income, return on investment and other strategic objectives. Operating income is determined by deducting operating expenses from all revenues. In computing operating income, none of the following has been added or deducted: unallocated corporate expenses, interest, other income or loss or income taxes.

The following table presents information about reported segments for the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 along with the items necessary to reconcile the segment information to the totals reported in the financial statements (amounts in thousands):

8.On October 16, 2019 an Order of Dismissal was entered regarding the Company’s previously disclosed litigation, Continental Materials Corporation v. Valco, Inc., Civil Action No. 2014-cv-2510, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The suit regarded a Fee Sand and Gravel Lease (Lease) between the Company as Lessee and Valco, Inc. (Valco) as Lessor that called for the payment of royalties over the life of the Lease on an agreed 50,000,000 tons of sand and gravel reserves. In the suit the Company sought declaratory judgment and damages pursuant to the Lease on the grounds that Agreed Sand and Gravel Reserves of 50 million tons did not exist, and for other relief including return of approximately $1,470,000 in royalty payments made by the Company

11

to Valco in excess of tonnage actually produced (Prepayments). Based on information obtained through discovery, the Company alleged, in addition to the abovementioned claims, nondisclosure or concealment by Valco of material facts concerning the existence of Agreed Sand and Gravel Reserves of 50 million tons, and breach of warranty concerning the same. Valco asserted counterclaims against the Company alleging breach of contract and seeking declaratory judgment regarding the Company’s refusal to make further royalty payments under the Lease. In the ordinary course of business and absent any breach by Valco, the Company was required to make quarterly royalty payments amounting to not less than $300,000 in a calendar year. In response to Valco’s breaches of contract, the Company stopped making royalty payments at the start of the 2015 calendar year.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, on October 9, 2019, the Company and Valco filed a Joint Notice of Settlement stating that the parties had reached a settlement agreement resolving all claims. Trial had previously been scheduled for October 21, 2019. On October 16, 2019, the Company and Valco filed a Stipulated Motion for Dismissal with Prejudice which stated: the parties “agree that this matter, including all claims and counterclaims, dismissed with prejudice and without costs, each party to bear its own attorneys’ fees.” The Court entered the Order of Dismissal with Prejudice on October 16, 2019. See Note 20 for additional discussion.

9.The Company issued a total of 21,000 shares to the seven eligible board members effective February 7, 2019 as full payment for their 2019 retainer fee. The Company issued a total of 16,000 shares to the eight eligible board members effective January 16, 2018 as full payment for their 2018 retainer fee. All shares were issued under the 2010 Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan and pursuant to private offering exemptions available under Regulation D or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

10.  The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) effective November 18, 2011. The Company entered into the Tenth Amendment to Credit Agreement effective March 22, 2019. The Company had previously entered into nine separate amendments to the Credit Agreement. Cumulatively, the amendments were entered into by the Company to, among other things, (i) modify certain of the financial covenants, (ii) adjust the amount of the Revolving Commitment, (iii) terminate the Term Loan Commitment upon the repayment in full of the outstanding principal balance (and accrued interest thereon) of the Term Loan, (iv) modify the Borrowing Base calculation to provide for borrowing availability in respect of new Capital Expenditures, (v) decrease the interest rates on the Revolving Loans, (vi) extend the maturity date and (vii) decrease the Letter of Credit fee rate. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventories, machinery, equipment, vehicles, certain real estate and the common stock of all of the Company’s subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest based on a London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or prime rate based option. The Company was not in compliance with the Fixed Coverage Charge Ratio as of September 28, 2019. The lender has provided a waiver of the covenant violation for the period ended September 28, 2019. The Company and the lender will work to address terms of the existing loan agreement prior to the end of the fiscal year ending December 28, 2019.

The Credit Agreement either limits or requires prior approval by the lender of additional borrowings, acquisition of stock of other companies, purchase of treasury shares and payment of cash dividends. Payment of accrued interest is due monthly or at the end of the applicable LIBOR period.

The Credit Agreement as amended provides for the following:

· The Revolving Commitment is $20,000,000.  

· Borrowings under the Revolving Commitment are limited to (a) 80% of eligible accounts receivable, (b) the lesser of 50% of eligible inventories and $8,500,000 plus (c) 80% of new qualifying Capital Expenditures not to exceed $5,500,000 in any fiscal year (excluding the aggregate amount of any Capital Expenditures financed with the proceeds of a Revolving Line Advance).

· The Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is not permitted to be below 1.06 to 1.0 for each trailing twelve month period measured at the end of each Fiscal Quarter.

· The maturity date of the credit facility is May 1, 2020.

· Interest rate pricing for the revolving credit facility is currently LIBOR plus 2.25% or the prime rate.

12

Definitions under the Credit Agreement as amended are as follows:

· Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined as, for any computation period, the ratio of (a) the sum for such period of (i) EBITDA, as defined, minus (ii) the sum of income taxes paid in cash, the amount expended related to the development of the mining property discussed in Note 12 and all unfinanced capital expenditures to (b) the sum for such period of interest expense related to the Credit Agreement.

· EBITDA means for any Computation Period (or another time period to the extent expressly provided for in the Credit Agreement) the sum of the following with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries each as determined in accordance with GAAP: (a) Consolidated Net Income, plus (b) federal, state and other income taxes deducted in the determination of Consolidated Net Income, plus (c) Interest Expense deducted in the determination of Consolidated Net Income, plus (d) depreciation, depletion and amortization expense deducted in the determination of Consolidated Net Income, plus (e) non-recurring fees and costs paid by the Company in respect of the following: (i) fees and due diligence costs associated with the Company’s permitted acquisitions; (ii) legal fees and costs associated with the Valco trial preparation; (iii) executive recruitment fees for the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer; and (iv) additional fees and costs associated with the exploration of the Company’s Hitch Rack Ranch facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado to determine the suitability for mining and the pursuit of mining permits, plus (f) any other non-cash charges and any extraordinary charges deducted in the determination of Consolidated Net Income, including any asset impairment charges (including write downs of goodwill), minus (g) any gains from Asset Dispositions, any extraordinary gains and any gains from discontinued operations included in the determination of Consolidated Net Income.

Outstanding funded revolving debt was zero as of September 28, 2019 compared to $2,200,000 as of December 29, 2018. The highest balance outstanding during the first nine months of 2019 and 2018 was $2,200,000 and $9,800,000, respectively. Average outstanding funded debt was $405,000 and $6,188,000 for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. At September 28, 2019, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $5,620,000. At all times since the inception of the Credit Agreement, the Company has had sufficient qualifying and eligible assets such that the available borrowing capacity exceeded the cash needs of the Company and this situation is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

The Company believes that its existing cash balance, anticipated cash flow from operations and borrowings available under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to cover expected cash needs, including planned capital expenditures, for the next twelve months.

11.  The Company is involved in litigation matters related to its business. In the Company’s opinion, none of these proceedings, when concluded, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition as the Company has established adequate accruals for matters that are probable and estimable. The Company does not accrue estimated future legal costs related to the defense of these matters but rather expenses legal costs as incurred. See Note 8 for additional discussion.

12.During July 2015, TMC began development of a granite mining property south of Colorado Springs. Prior to beginning the development process, the Company deposited $2,500,000 in an escrow account per agreement with the land owner. This amount was previously included in Other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The development costs included drilling the property to ascertain its suitability for mining, engineering studies and legal expenses related to the preparation of TMC’s application to obtain the required mining permits from the State of Colorado and El Paso County.

TMC made its initial application for a mining permit from the state of Colorado in 2016. TMC filed its second application to the state in November 2017, which was rejected on April 26, 2018. The Company wrote off all capitalized costs associated with the permit application in the first half of 2018, a total of $6,840,000.  

As of September 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 the $2,500,000 escrow balance mentioned above was included in Other current assets as the Company has begun the process to settle the account and recover the funds.

13

13.The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) on December 30, 2018 (the beginning of fiscal 2019), resulting in the recognition of operating right-of-use assets of $5,353,000 and operating lease liabilities of $5,427,000. The Company has entered into lease arrangements for office space, manufacturing facilities, water rights and certain equipment. A number of the leases include one or more options to renew the lease terms, purchase the leased property or terminate the lease. The exercise of these options is at the Company’s discretion and is therefore recognized on the balance sheet when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such options.

Substantially all of the Company’s leases are considered operating leases. Finance leases were not material as of September 28, 2019 or for the three months ended September 28, 2019. The following table displays the undiscounted cash flows related to operating leases as of September 28, 2019, along with a reconciliation to the discounted amount recorded on the September 28, 2019 Consolidated Balance Sheet (amounts in thousands):

	OPERATING
	LEASE
	LIABILITIES
2019	$	342
2020		1,402
2021		1,389
2022		1,307
2023		761
Thereafter		910
Total lease payments		6,111
Less: interest		(814)
Present value of operating lease liabilities	$	5,297

Short-term lease cost represents the Company’s cost with respect to leases with a duration of 12 months or less and are not reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019 operating lease cost was $628,000 and $1,459,000, respectively, including $274,000 and $484,000 of short-term lease costs. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities for the three and nine months ended September  28, 2019 was $396,000 and $1,014,000, respectively.

New leases entered into during the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2019 resulted in the recognition of operating right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $60,000 and $649,000, respectively. At September 28, 2019 the weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate for operating leases was 4.9 years and 6.0%, respectively.

14. On January 15, 2019, the Company reached an amicable resolution to a business dispute by way of a settlement agreement. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, the Company received $15,000,000. The other party and the Company further agreed to set up a joint escrow account to support certain conditions in the agreement. The Company’s contribution to the escrow account was approximately $200,000. The Settlement Agreement does not contain any admission of liability, wrongdoing, or responsibility by any of the parties.

15.On February 1, 2019, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries sold substantially all of the real property, tangible personal property and executory contracts of TMC’s ready-mix business and the operations of Daniels Sand Company (Daniels) to Aggregate Industries — WCR, Inc. (the Buyer), a Colorado corporation for $27,129,000. The purchase price was paid to the Company on February 1, 2019 less certain amounts to be held in escrow, as provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement among the Company parties and the Buyer (Purchase Agreement), to secure the Company’s obligations to pay its working capital adjustment and indemnification obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The escrow also retained amounts to be held pending the subdivision of certain real property to be sold to the Buyer at a subsequent date as included in the Purchase Agreement. Combined escrow amounts of $2,049,000 were included in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 28, 2019.

14

The Company retained the aggregates operations and retail building materials business of TMC and all related assets and liabilities. These operations include the Pikeview quarry (see Note 19) business located in Colorado Springs, the aggregates mining business located in Pueblo, the sand and gravel mining business located in Fremont County, and the retail building materials business at sites located in Colorado Springs and Pueblo.

In the quarter ended March 30, 2019, the Company recorded a $6,508,000 pre-tax gain on the sale of TMC assets. During the quarter ending June 29, 2019 the working capital adjustment was finalized and resulted in the Company paying a net $1,248,000 to the Buyer. This adjustment, plus an adjustment to transaction fees, reduced the pre-tax gain on the sale to $5,283,000. The operations of the ready-mix and Daniels sand businesses were classified as discontinued operations and assets held for sale for all periods presented. General corporate overhead charges were not allocated to discontinued operations. Revenue, expenses and pre-tax income reclassified to discontinued operations were as follows (amounts in thousands):

	Three Months ended				Nine Months ended

16.  During the quarter ended June 29, 2019 the Company completed three different asset purchase transactions, acquiring the assets of four operating businesses.

15

On May 20, 2019 the Company acquired the assets of Serenity and Fastrac, both based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, using available cash reserves. Serenity is a proprietary sliding door system providing superior sound attenuation, sold primarily into healthcare markets across the country.  Fastrac is a leading supplier of commercial doors and hardware to healthcare and hospitality customers across the country. Serenity continues to operate as a stand-alone business while Fastrac operations were consolidated with the Company’s existing portfolio company, McKinney Door and Hardware, which has similar operations. The results of the acquisition of Serenity and Fastrac are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. Both companies are included in the Door segment for reporting purposes.

On June 3, 2019 the Company acquired the assets of American Wheatley HVAC and Global Flow Products (together “GFP”), based in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma using available cash reserves. GFP sells American Wheatley HVAC branded products, including a broad line of ASME pressure vessels, custom fabricated products, valves, strainers and other hydronic accessories to commercial HVAC customers. The results of the acquisition of GFP are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. GFP is included in the HVAC segment for reporting purposes.

These two transactions are not considered material individually. However, they are considered material in the aggregate. The total purchase price paid for these transactions was $12,685,000, subject to a traditional post-closing working capital adjustment currently estimated to be $778,000,  with approximately $12,163,000 paid in cash at closing. The Company will pay additional contingent consideration, if earned, in the form of an earn out amount pursuant to the terms of earn out agreements in amounts of up to $4,300,000, the payment of which is subject to certain conditions and the successful achievement of gross profit growth targets for the acquired businesses following the closing of the transactions over a period of twenty-four (24) to thirty-six (36) months. Approximately $1,300,000 has been accrued based on estimated fair values of these earn out agreements. We acquired trade receivables of $1,787,000, inventory of $1,269,000, property and equipment of $2,530,000, other assets of $250,000, intangibles of $4,302,000 and goodwill of $3,675,000 and retained liabilities of $1,128,000. The current value assigned to trade receivables represents anticipated fair market value. These values are management’s current estimates of fair value and may change as additional information becomes available over the next several months. The working capital adjustment has not been finalized on either transaction and work continues on final valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities including receivables, inventory, fixed assets, intangibles, goodwill and accounts payable. Transaction costs, included in Selling and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2019, were $66,000 and $1,177,000, respectively.

On June 17, 2019 the Company acquired the assets of Inovate, a supplier of commercial and residential dryer and HVAC venting systems and components. The total purchase price for the net assets acquired was $11,505,000,  including a post-closing working capital adjustment of $84,000, with approximately $11,050,000 paid in cash at closing, using available cash reserves. The Company will pay additional contingent consideration, if earned, in the form of an earn out amount pursuant to the terms of an earn out agreement in an amount of up to $1,250,000, the payment of which is subject to certain conditions and the successful achievement of gross profit growth targets for the acquired business following the closing of the transaction over a period of twelve (12) months. Approximately $240,000 has been accrued based on an estimated fair value of this earn out agreement. The results of the acquisition of Inovate are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. Transaction costs included in Selling and administrative expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019 were $39,000 and $515,000, respectively.

16

In accordance with GAAP, the total purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible net assets acquired based on management’s preliminary estimates of their fair values and may change as additional information becomes available over the next several months. The working capital adjustment was finalized although work continues on final valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities including receivables, inventory, fixed assets, intangibles, goodwill and accounts payable. The condensed balance sheet of Inovate at the acquisition date was as follows:

Purchase price	$	11,505
Accounts receivable, net		1,448
Other tangible assets		578
Intangible assets		8,808
Accounts payable and accrued expenses		(665)
Total identifiable net assets		10,169
Goodwill	$	1,336

Accounts receivable are valued at anticipated fair market value and are not materially different from contracted value.

The following table presents selected unaudited pro forma information for the Company assuming the acquisition of Inovate had occurred as of December 31, 2017. This pro forma information does not purport to represent what the Company’s actual results would have been if the acquisition had occurred as of the date indicated or what such results would be for any future periods.

Per ASC 805, the chart below summaries the comparative financial statements for revenue and earnings as if all the acquisitions occurred at the beginning of the respective period.

	Three Months ended				Nine Months ended
	SEPTEMBER 28,		SEPTEMBER 29,		SEPTEMBER 28,		SEPTEMBER 29,

Revenue of the acquired companies increased total revenue by 24.3% in the third quarter of 2019. The impact of the acquired companies on earnings for the current year quarter was not material. Total goodwill added to the Consolidated Balance Sheet due to acquisition activity during the second quarter of 2019 was $5,011,000. The goodwill is attributable to the skills and technical talent of the established work force at each of the acquired businesses and synergies expected to be achieved from integrating the individual acquired business operations in to the Company’s existing consolidated business portfolio. This amount is attributable to the HVAC and Door segments in the amounts of $2,817,000 and $2,194,000, respectively. The goodwill amounts are not final and are subject to change as additional information is obtained over the coming months. Additionally, goodwill deductible for tax purposes is still being determined.

17.  Identifiable amortizable intangible assets as of September 28, 2019 include trade names, intellectual property and customer related intangibles. These intangibles were all related to acquisition activity in the second quarter 2019 and

17

are still in the process of being finalized. The amounts are subject to change as additional information is obtained over the coming months. See Note 16 for additional discussion. Collectively, these assets were carried at $12,991,000, net of $119,000 accumulated amortization as of September  28, 2019. The pre-tax amortization expense for intangible assets during the quarters ended September  28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 was $119,000 and zero, respectively.

Based upon the intangible assets recorded on the balance sheet at September  28, 2019, amortization expense for the next five years is estimated to be as follows: 2019 – $337,000;  2020 through 2023 – $675,000 each year.

18.  The Company adopted the Continental Materials Corporation Value Creation Incentive Plan (the “VCIP”) effective July 1, 2019. The VCIP is designed to attract and retain key management personnel by providing an incentive and reward for selected executive officers and employees of the Company. The VCIP involves only the payment of cash, not the issuance of common stock, based on appreciation of Phantom Equity or Phantom Equity Appreciation Rights (PE or PEARs, respectively) of the defined business unit, over a certain period of time. Fair value of the PE or PEAR awards was measured as of the balance sheet date presented. The awards vest over a period of four or five years and are payable over a three-year period following vesting. At September 28, 2019 total future compensation expense related to unvested awards yet to be recognized by the Company was approximately $2,796,000. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of approximately 4.3 years.

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method for determining fair value of the awards. The compensation expense related to the awards is recognized over the vesting period for each award. For the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2019 the Company’s net loss included $156,000 of stock-based compensation. The total liability related to the PE and PEAR awards was $456,000, which includes $300,000 from an acquisition recorded at the opening balance sheet date, and is included as Long-term compensation on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 28, 2019.

19.  During the quarter ended September 28, 2019 the Company made a strategic decision to cease mining operations at its Pikeview quarry in Colorado Springs, Colorado as it was no longer in the best economic interest of the consolidated portfolio to continue operations. The Company has a legal obligation to complete reclamation of the property as required by its mining permits with the State of Colorado. Generally accepted accounting principles require the recognition of a liability in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Prior to cessation of mining, reclamation was performed concurrently by backfilling mined areas with overfill from current mining. The reclamation costs were reported as operating expense as the Company could not reasonably estimate the ultimate liability. Since the Company will no longer perform concurrent reclamation and can now reasonably estimate the cost of final reclamation, an asset retirement obligation (ARO) has been recorded as of September 28, 2019. The ARO liability of $20,950,000 represents the estimated fair value of the total reclamation costs.  The fair value of the liability was calculated by applying an expected present value technique using estimated cash flows over a period of time and then discounting the expected cash flows using a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. The related ARO asset was considered 100% impaired as total carrying value including future costs to maintain and dispose of the asset will exceed the fair value. Therefore, the Company also recorded an impairment charge of $20,217,000 related to the asset.

20.  Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2019, on October 15, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition from Valco of certain real property located in Pueblo, Colorado for $9 million in connection with the full and final settlement of the previously disclosed litigation between the Company and Valco. A portion of the settlement was for the property purchase and a portion was attributed to the settlement of the litigation. As the litigation claim was a known event prior to the current quarter balance sheet date, the Company has recognized the portion of the agreement related to the legal settlement in the financial statements for the period ended September 28, 2019. Since the asset purchase agreement was not a known event prior to the balance sheet date it was not recorded in the financial statements for the period ended September 28, 2019. The Company has engaged a third party to perform a valuation of the land. As the valuation has not been completed, the Company used its best estimate to allocate the final settlement to the property and settlement expense. Considering a current offer to purchase a portion of the land and research on similar properties in the same area the Company estimates the land value to be approximately

18

$2,600,000 leaving a value of $6,400,000 as legal settlement expense which has been recognized in the Statement of Operations for the period ended September 28, 2019 and was included in accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance for the same period end. The property purchase will be reported by the Company in the fourth quarter. These amounts are management’s best estimate and are subject to change as additional information is received. See Note 8 for additional discussion.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help investors understand the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and current business environment. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018.

Company Overview

The Company has experienced various changes in 2019 with the sale of substantially all assets of its ready-mix concrete and Daniels sand operations in the first quarter of 2019,  the acquisition of four new operating businesses in the second quarter of 2019 and the cessation of mining at Pikeview quarry in the third quarter of 2019. In conjunction with this activity, management reviewed its operating and reporting structure and made adjustments to align the structure with how operations will be measured and evaluated going forward including revisions to the Company’s reporting segments. Segment information for prior periods has been reclassified to conform to current segment reporting structure. For additional detail of the Company’s operations and operating structure, see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Certain products within the Company’s portfolio are seasonal, primarily furnaces and evaporative coolers in the HVAC segment which are sensitive to weather conditions particularly during their respective peak selling seasons. Other products within the HVAC segment, specifically fan-coils and dryer boxes, and Door segment are, to a significant extent, dependent on construction activity. Historically, the Company has experienced operating losses during the first quarter and typically improved in the second and third quarters reflecting more favorable weather conditions in southern Colorado and the seasonal sales of evaporative coolers. Fourth quarter results could vary based on weather conditions in Colorado as well as in the principal markets for the Company’s heating equipment. The sale of the Company’s ready-mix and Daniels sand operations along with the acquisitions recently completed is expected to reduce the seasonality of the Company’s operations. 

Historically, the Company would typically experience operating cash flow deficits during the first half of the year reflecting operating results, the use of sales dating programs (extended payment terms) related to the HVAC segment and payments of the prior year’s accrued incentive bonuses and Company profit-sharing contributions, if any. As a result, the Company’s borrowings against its revolving credit facility tended to peak during the second quarter and then decline over the remainder of the year. In the current year, a legal settlement and the sale of TMC assets in the first quarter provided sufficient cash reserves such that borrowings against the revolving credit facility were significantly less than historical experience. The cash reserves allowed the Company to complete the acquisitions of four operating businesses without taking on additional debt. The divestiture and acquisition activity is expected to smooth cash flow over the course of the fiscal year and result in more consistent levels of borrowings throughout future years.

Cash provided by continuing operations was $5,492,000 during the first nine months of 2019 compared to $1,459,000 used during the first nine months of 2018.  The current year period included a net $14,781,000 cash received from a legal settlement realized earlier in the year.  The prior year period included $6,840,000 related to deferred development of a mining property which was written off in the first half of 2018. See Note 12 for additional detail. Cash provided by discontinued operations in the first nine months of 2019 was $294,000 compared

19

to $797,000 used in the first nine months of 2018. Both periods reflect operating results combined with changes in working capital items.

During the nine months ended September 28, 2019,  investing activities provided  $277,000 of cash compared to $999,000 of cash used during the nine months ended September 29, 2018.  The current year period included $23,679,000 of cash proceeds from the sale of TMC assets and cash payments of $23,213,000 to acquire assets of four operating businesses. See Note 15 and Note 16 for additional detail. Capital expenditures by continuing operations during the first nine months of 2019 and 2018 were $973,000 and  $963,000, respectively. Capital expenditures by discontinued operations were $172,000 and $1,439,000 for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. The first nine months of 2019 included  $956,000 in proceeds from the sale of equipment primarily in the Construction Materials division. The first nine months of 2018 included $1,403,000 in proceeds from the sale of equipment in discontinued operations.

Financing activities during the first nine months of 2019 used  $2,360,000 of cash as the Company used excess cash to pay down the revolving debt. During the first nine months of 2018 financing activities provided  $3,200,000 of cash as borrowings which were used to finance the increase in working capital. See also the discussion of the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement below.  

Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement

As discussed in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report, the

Company maintains a Credit Agreement, which, as amended, provides for a Revolving Commitment of $20,000,000. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventories, machinery, equipment, vehicles, certain real estate and the common stock of all of the Company’s subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Revolving Commitment are limited to (a) 80% of eligible accounts receivable, (b) the lesser of 50% of eligible inventories and $8,500,000 plus (c) 80% of new Capital Expenditures not to exceed $5,500,000 in any fiscal year (excluding the aggregate amount of any Capital Expenditures financed with the proceeds of a Revolving Line advance). Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest based on a LIBOR or prime rate based option.

The Credit Agreement either limits or requires prior approval by the lender of additional borrowings, acquisition of stock of other companies, purchase of treasury shares and payment of cash dividends. Payment of accrued interest is due monthly or at the end of the applicable LIBOR period. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of May 1, 2020.

The Company had no outstanding borrowings against the revolving credit facility at September  28, 2019. At all times since the inception of the Credit Agreement, the Company has had sufficient qualifying and eligible assets such that the entire revolving credit facility was available to the Company. This situation is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

The Company was not in compliance with the Fixed Coverage Charge Ratio as of September 28, 2019. The lender has provided a waiver of the covenant violation for the period ended September 28, 2019. The Company and the lender intend to work to address terms of the existing loan agreement prior to the end of the fiscal year ending December 28, 2019. The Company believes that its existing cash balance, anticipated cash flow from operations and borrowings available under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to cover expected cash needs, including planned capital expenditures, for the next twelve months.

Results of Continuing Operations Comparison of Quarter Ended September 28, 2019 to the Quarter Ended September 29, 2018

In the ensuing discussions of the results of operations the Company defines the term gross profit as the amount determined by deducting cost of sales before depreciation, depletion and amortization from sales. The gross profit ratio is gross profit divided by sales.

20

Consolidated sales in the third quarter of 2019 were $31,987,000, an increase of $8,022,000, or 33.5%, compared to the third quarter of 2018.  The increase was primarily due to contributions by the businesses acquired in the second quarter of the current year which, combined, reported sales of $7,800,000.  The HVAC and Door segments reported increased sales of 38.1% and 43.0%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018. The Construction Materials segment reported a sales decrease of 25.0% between the third quarter of 2019 and the same period of the prior year, as one of the main operating quarries was mined out and moved to complete reclamation.  

The consolidated gross profit ratio in the third quarter of 2019 was 23.6% compared to 21.8% in the same period of 2018 driven primarily by the impact of second quarter 2019 acquisitions in the HVAC segment.

Consolidated selling and administrative expenses were $2,002,000 higher in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018.  The increase between years was due primarily to  the addition of four new operating businesses to the company portfolio as well as other investments  to stimulate growth of the Company. As a percentage of consolidated sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 25.3% in the third quarter of 2019 from 25.5% in the third quarter of 2018.

The third quarter of 2019 included a $20,217,000 charge related to the recent decision to cease operations at the Company’s Pikeview quarry in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Due to the cessation of mining, the Company has recorded an asset retirement obligation (ARO) for reclamation costs that represents the fair value of the liability to reclaim the property in accordance with the mining permits issued by the State of Colorado. See Note 19 for additional discussion. The third quarter of 2019 includes a $6,400,000 legal settlement expense for litigation settlement that occurred subsequent to the quarter ended September 28, 2019. Since the claim existed prior to the balance sheet date the settlement was included in the current quarter financial statements. See Note 20 for additional discussion.

The consolidated operating loss for the third quarter of 2019 was $27,906,000 compared to an operating loss of $1,268,000 in the third quarter of the prior year. The decreased performance is primarily attributable to the ARO and legal settlement discussed above.  Excluding the impact of the ARO and legal settlement, operating income in the current quarter decreased $21,000, or 1.7%, compared to the third quarter of 2018. The HVAC segment reported increased operating profit while the Door and Construction Materials segments reported decreases in operating income. Individual segment performance is discussed further below.

Interest expense in the third quarter of 2019 was $100,000 compared to $140,000 in the third quarter of 2018. Interest expense includes interest on outstanding funded debt, finance charges on outstanding letters of credit, the fee on the unused revolving credit line and other recurring fees charged by the lending bank. The decrease from the prior year quarter is attributable to lower average borrowings. Average outstanding funded debt in the third quarter of 2019 was $188,000 compared to $7,007,000 for the third quarter of 2018. At the end of the third quarter of 2019 the outstanding funded debt was zero compared to $6,700,000 at the end of the third quarter of 2018.

The Company’s effective income tax rate reflects federal and state statutory income tax rates adjusted for non-deductible expenses, tax credits and other tax items. The estimated effective income tax rate in the third quarter of 2019 was 27.5% compared to 25.0% for the third quarter of 2018.

As discussed in Note 7, the Company has revised its segment reporting to align with how key management is reviewing and measuring performance of the portfolio companies going forward. The Company operates nine businesses in three reportable segments. The following addresses various aspects of operating performance within each of the reportable segments.

Results of Discontinued Operations - Comparison of Quarter Ended September 28, 2019 to the Quarter Ended September 29, 2018

The results of discontinued operations reflect the operations of the ready-mix and Daniels sand businesses of TMC. The Company sold the assets of these business units on February 1, 2019. There was no gain or loss from

21

discontinued operations in the third quarter 2019.  The pre-tax loss from discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2018 was $184,000.

HVAC Segment

The table below presents a summary of operating information for the HVAC segment for the quarters ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 (dollar amounts in thousands):

	Three Months ended
	SEPTEMBER 28,			SEPTEMBER 29,
	2019			2018
Revenues from external customers	$	23,702		$	17,163
Segment gross profit		6,234			3,077
Gross profit as percent of sales		26.3	%		17.9	%
Segment operating income (loss)	$	1,499		$	(511)
Operating income (loss) as a percent of sales		6.3	%		(3.0)	%
Segment assets	$	53,540		$	32,200
Return on assets		2.8	%		(1.6)	%

In the third quarter of 2019, approximately 26% of sales in the HVAC segment consisted of coolers. Wall furnaces and heaters accounted for 33% while fan coils accounted for 17% of the segment’s sales in the third quarter of 2019. Boiler room equipment and dryer vent products made up approximately 23% of 2019 third quarter sales.  In the third quarter of 2018 these shares of total segment sales were 59%, 21%, 20% and 0%, respectively. Overall sales in the HVAC segment in the third quarter of 2019 increased by $6,539,000 (38.1%) compared to the same period in 2018,  primarily due to the businesses acquired in the current year which contributed $5,639,000 of sales in the current year third quarter. 

Sales of furnaces and heaters increased 14.3% in the three months ended September 28, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 29, 2018. Unit shipments of furnaces and heaters were 13.1%  higher in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year third quarter. Management believes the increase is attributable to the elimination of a pre-season discount program earlier in the year which pushed sales from earlier quarters to the current quarter as well as a proposed price increase causing some customers to purchase before the price increase.  Average sales prices for furnaces and heaters in the third quarter of 2019 remained fairly consistent compared to the prior year third quarter, increasing about 1.1%.

Sales of fan coils during the third quarter of 2019 increased 4.4% compared to the third quarter of 2018. Typically, approximately 90% of the sales of fan coils are custom-made systems for hotels and other commercial buildings. Fan coil jobs are obtained through a competitive bidding process. Since every bid job is a unique configuration of materials and parts, the Company does not track unit sales or production as such unit volume data would not be useful in managing the business. Management focuses on the contribution margin by job, the current level of sales and the sales backlog in managing the fan coil business. Contribution margin is measured by deducting variable manufacturing costs and variable selling expenses from sales for a particular product line and is used as an internal measure of profitability for a product or product line. The fan coil contribution margin percentage in the third quarter of 2019 increased to 28.0% from 25.7% in the third quarter of 2018.  Increased production levels contributed to the increase in contribution margin in the current quarter. The contribution margins in both the third quarter of 2019 and the third quarter of 2018were considered within acceptable performance levels. 

Sales of evaporative coolers remained basically flat in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018. Unit sales of evaporative coolers declined 3.3%. Average selling prices increased 5.2% between the third quarter of 2019 and the third quarter of 2018 primarily due product mix.  

Sales of newly acquired business operations are included in the HVAC results from the date of acquisition. These sales contributed approximately $5,639,000 to current quarter results. See Note 16 for further discussion of acquisitions.

22

The HVAC segment’s gross profit ratio for the third quarter of 2019 was 26.3% compared to 17.9% in the third quarter of 2018. The increase in gross profit ratio is attributable to impact of newly acquired businesses combined with improved gross profit ratios in existing operations.

Selling and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2019 were $1,097,000 higher than the third quarter of the previous year. The increase was mainly attributable to the acquired businesses.As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased to 18.6% in the third quarter of 2019 from 19.3% in the third quarter of 2018.

Door Segment

The table below presents a summary of operating information for the Door segment for the quarters ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 (dollar amounts in thousands):

	Three Months ended
	SEPTEMBER 28,			SEPTEMBER 29,
	2019			2018
Revenues from external customers	$	6,787		$	4,746
Segment gross profit		1,865			1,244
Gross profit as percent of sales		27.5	%		26.2	%
Segment operating income	$	295		$	918
Operating income as a percent of sales		4.3	%		19.3	%
Segment assets	$	13,607		$	8,190
Return on assets		2.2	%		11.2	%

The Door segment sells hollow metal doors, door frames and related hardware, wood doors, sliding door systems, lavatory fixtures and electronic access and security systems. The Door segment’s sales are primarily for commercial and institutional buildings such as schools and healthcare facilities as well as hospitality buildings.  A majority of the sales of the Door segment are related to jobs obtained through a competitive bidding process. Bid prices may be higher or lower than bid prices on similar jobs in the prior year. As the product components of any one job likely vary significantly from any other job, the Door segment does not track unit sales of the various products through its accounting or management reporting systems. Management focuses on the level of the sales backlog, the trend in sales and the gross profit rate in managing the business.

Door sales in the third quarter of 2019 were $2,041,000 (43.0%) higher than in the third quarter of the previous year primarily due to the recent acquisition of Fastrac and Serenity. Bidding prices remain competitive. The gross profit ratio in the third quarter of 2019 and 2018 was 27.5% versus 26.2%, respectively, reflecting the impact of the newly acquired businesses and better pricing in existing businesses.

Selling and administrative expenses were $688,000 higher in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018 mainly due to the recent acquisitions. As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased to 21.5% in the third quarter of 2019 from 16.3% in the comparable 2018 quarter.

Construction Materials

The table below presents a summary of operating information for the Construction Materials segment for the quarters ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 (dollar amounts in thousands):

	Three Months ended
	SEPTEMBER 28,			SEPTEMBER 29,
	2019			2018

The ready-mix concrete and Daniels sand operational assets of TMC were sold on February 1, 2019. The operations of the ready-mix and Daniels sand businesses were classified as discontinued operations and assets held for sale for all periods presented. See Note 15 for further discussion of the transaction. The discontinued operations, together with the continuing operations formerly known as the Concrete, Aggregate and Construction Supply (CACS) segment, were reclassified to the Construction Materials segment for current reporting. The product offerings of continuing operations of the former CACS segment consisted of aggregates and construction supplies. Aggregates are produced at multiple locations in or near Colorado Springs and Pueblo, Colorado. Construction supplies encompass numerous products purchased from third party suppliers and sold to the construction trades, particularly concrete sub-contractors. Revenue of the Construction Materials segment decreased 25.0% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the third quarter of 2018. Management made a strategic decision to cease mining at the Pikeview quarry at the end of the third quarter of 2019 when it was determined that continued mining was not in the best economic interests of the consolidated portfolio. The current quarter includes a $20,217,000 impairment charge related to the cessation of mining. The quarry may continue to report some revenue from dumping fees or for remaining inventory sales, but otherwise will turn to full reclamation status. See Note 19 for further discussion.

Prior to the decision to cease mining operations made at the end of the current quarter, the CACS segment produced and sold sand, crushed limestone and gravel (collectively “aggregates”) from deposits in and around Colorado Springs. Sales volume of aggregates decreased in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the comparable 2018 quarter. This is mainly attributable to the Grisenti pit being fully mined and working to complete reclamation with minimal sales. Sales at the Pikeview quarry were nominal in the third quarter of the current year as the Company prioritized completing the reclamation at Grisenti. The reduced sales volumes and additional reclamation related costs, in part, led management to its decision to cease mining operations at the remaining quarry in the current quarter.

Sales of construction supplies decreased by 19.5% in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the prior year quarter. The division reported an operating profit in the third quarter of 2019 and the third quarter of 2018. The operating profit was lower in the current year quarter due to reduced sales volume.

Selling and administrative expenses were $181,000 higher in the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was attributable to reallocation of certain compensation and other general expenses related to the aggregates operations.

The third quarter of 2019 includes $6,400,000 legal settlement expense related to litigation that was settled after the quarter end September 28, 2019. As the claim was a known event prior to the balance sheet date the expense was included in the financial statements for the period ended September 28, 2019. See Note 20 for additional discussion. The third quarter of 2019 included a loss of $125,000 on the sale of equipment. There was a nominal gain in the third quarter of 2018.

Results of Continuing Operations - Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 28, 2019 to Nine Months Ended September 29, 2018

In the ensuing discussions of the results of operations the Company defines the term gross profit as the amount determined by deducting cost of sales before depreciation, depletion and amortization from sales. The gross profit ratio is gross profit divided by sales.

Consolidated sales in the first nine months of 2019 were $79,773,000, an increase of $6,841,000 or 9.4% compared to the first nine months of 2018.  The HVAC and Door segments reported sales increases of 10.4% and 17.9%, respectively, in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018. The Construction Materials segment reported a sales decrease of 20.3%, as one of the main operating quarries was mined out and moved to complete reclamation and management made the decision to cease operations at Pikeview quarry in the current year quarter. Individual segments are discussed below.

The consolidated gross profit ratio in the first nine months of 2019 was 20.0% compared to 22.2% in the first nine months of 2018.  The decrease was mainly due to results of the Construction Materials segment which reported a gross loss of $1,500,000 in the first nine months of the current year compared to positive gross profit of $1,960,000 in the first nine months of 2018. The changes are addressed in more detail in the discussion by segment below.

Selling and administrative expenses in the first nine months of 2019 were $8,053,000 (50.5%) higher compared to the same period of the prior year. The primary source of the increase was in the HVAC segment and Unallocated Corporate expenses. The increase is attributable to investments made to promote future growth of the company. Specifically, in the HVAC segment there were investments in personnel, R&D and sales and marketing as WFC and PMI worked towards future product design and development.  Additionally, at the corporate level there were key personnel investments and transaction expenses related to second quarter 2019 acquisition activity discussed further in Note 16.  As a percentage of consolidated sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 30.1%  in the first nine months of 2019 compared to 21.9% in the same period of the prior year.

The first nine months of 2019 included a $20,217,000 charge related to the decision to halt mining at the Company’s Pikeview quarry discussed in the quarterly review above. See Note 19 for additional discussion. The first nine months of 2019 included $6,400,000 legal settlement expense discussed in the quarterly review above. See Note 20 for additional discussion. The first nine months of 2019 included a $14,780,000 net gain from legal settlement recognized earlier in the year. See Note 14 for additional discussion. The first nine months of 2018 included the net write-off of $6,840,000 of deferred development costs previously capitalized in property, plant and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet or incurred in the first half of 2018. See Note 12 for further discussion.

The first nine months of 2019 included a gain of $308,000 from the sale of property and equipment primarily in the Construction Materials segment. There were no similar gains in the prior year period.

The consolidated operating loss for the first nine months of 2019, before the charge related to reclamation of the non-operating property, legal settlement expense and gain from a legal settlement discussed above, was $9,113,000. The consolidated operating loss for the first nine months of 2018, before the write-off of deferred development, was $937,000. The Door segment reported an increase of 15.1% in operating income in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year. Decreases in operating profit in the HVAC and Construction Materials segments, as well as the Corporate expenses discussed above, more than offset the increase in the Door segment and contributed to the overall decrease in operating profit.

Interest income for the first nine months of 2019 was $349,000 compared to $59,000 for the first nine months of 2018. The increase was due to interest earned on cash reserves resulting from the legal settlement and the sale of TMC assets.  Interest expense for the first nine months of 2019 was  $274,000 compared to $415,000 in the first nine months of 2018 due to lower average borrowings combined with the fixed nature of certain bank fees and charges. Average outstanding funded debt in the first nine months of 2019 was $405,000 compared to $6,188,000 in the first nine months of 2018.

The Company’s effective income tax rate reflects federal and state statutory income tax rates adjusted for non-deductible expenses, tax credits and other tax items. The estimated effective income tax rate in the first nine months of 2019 was 27.5% compared to a benefit of 25.0% for the first nine months of 2018.

Results of Discontinued Operations - Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September  28, 2019 to the Nine Months Ended September 29, 2018

The results of discontinued operations reflect the operations of the ready-mix and Daniels sand businesses of TMC. The Company sold the assets of these business units on February 1, 2019. The 2019 income realized from discontinued operations included a pre-tax loss from operations of $724,000 and a pre-tax gain on the sale of assets of $5,283,000. The pre-tax income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 29, 2018 was $1,075,000.

HVAC Segment

The table below presents a summary of operating information for the HVAC segment for the nine months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 (dollar amounts in thousands).

	Nine Months ended
	SEPTEMBER 28,			SEPTEMBER 29,
	2019			2018
Revenues from external customers	$	57,712		$	52,294
Segment gross profit		12,674			10,035
Gross profit as percent of sales		22.0	%		19.2	%
Segment operating (loss) income		(837)			83
Operating (loss) income as a percent of sales		(1.5)	%		0.2	%
Segment assets	$	53,540		$	32,200
Return on assets		(1.6)	%		0.3	%

In the first nine months of 2019, approximately 34% of sales in the HVAC segment consisted of wall furnaces and heaters. Fan coils accounted for 17% of the segment’s sales. Coolers accounted for 37% of the segment’s sales and boiler room equipment, dryer boxes and other products accounted for approximately 12%. In the first nine months of 2018 these shares of total segment sales were 38%, 25%,  36% and 1%, respectively. Overall sales in the HVAC segment in the first nine months of 2019 increased by $5,418,000 (10.4%) compared to the same period in 2018 reflecting the newly acquired businesses contribution and increased furnace sales. Sales of furnaces increased by 8.1% in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018. Sales of fan coils declined 5.5% between the first nine months of 2019 and the same period in the prior year. As discussed above, contribution margin is an internal measure of profitability for a product or product line. The fan coil contribution margin percentage in the first nine months of 2019 was 27.2% compared to 30.4% in the first nine months of 2018.Unit shipments of furnaces and heaters increased 1.8% in the first nine months of 2019 versus the first nine months of 2018. Management believes a proposed price increase may be causing certain customers to purchase in advance of the increase. Average sales price increased by 6.2% in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018 primarily due to changes in product mix. Unit sales of evaporative coolers in the first nine months of 2019 were 12.9% lower compared to the first nine months of 2018. Revenue from evaporative cooler sales in the first nine months of 2019 decreased 6.5% compared to the same period in the prior year. Average selling prices per unit increased 8.7%  in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period of 2018, primarily attributable to changes in product mix.  

The gross profit ratio for the HVAC segment in the first nine months of 2019 was 22.0% compared to 19.2% in the first nine months of 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to impact from the newly acquired businesses. Selling and administrative expenses were $3,532,000 higher in the first nine months of 2019 due to addition of the

26

new businesses and past investments  made to grow the existing businesses. As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative expenses were 22.0% and 17.5% in the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Door Segment

The table below presents a summary of operating information for the Door segment for the nine months ended September  28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 (dollar amounts in thousands):

	Nine Months ended
	SEPTEMBER 28,			SEPTEMBER 29,
	2019			2018
Revenues from external customers	$	17,483		$	14,824
Segment gross profit		4,765			4,141
Gross profit as percent of sales		27.3	%		27.9	%
Segment operating income	$	1,288		$	1,787
Operating income as a percent of sales		7.4	%		12.1	%
Segment assets	$	13,607		$	8,190
Return on assets		9.5	%		21.8	%

Door sales in the first nine months of 2019 increased $2,659,000 (17.9%) compared to the nine months of the previous year primarily due to the recent acquisitions of Fastrac and Serenity. The gross profit ratio declined 0.6% in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018. The decrease is attributable to increased labor and material costs on certain projects.

Selling and administrative expenses in the first nine months of 2019  increased by $1,048,000 compared to the first nine months of 2018. The addition of two new operating businesses and additional compensation related costs at the existing operations accounted for the increase. As a percentage of sales, these expenses increased to 18.8% in the first nine months of 2019 from 15.0% in the first nine months of 2018.

Construction Materials

The table below presents a summary of operating information for the Construction Materials segment for the nine months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 (dollar amounts in thousands):

	Nine Months ended
	SEPTEMBER 28,			SEPTEMBER 29,
	2019			2018
Revenues from external customers	$	4,579		$	5,746
Segment gross (loss) profit		(1,501)			1,960
Gross profit as percent of sales		(32.8)	%		34.1	%
Segment operating loss		(15,105)			(6,440)
Operating loss as a percent of sales		(329.9)	%		(112.1)	%
Segment assets	$	9,799		$	11,021
Return on assets		(154.1)	%		(58.4)	%

The ready-mix concrete and Daniels sand operational assets of TMC were sold on February 1, 2019. The operations of the ready-mix concrete and Daniels sand businesses were classified as discontinued operations and assets held for sale for all periods presented. See Note 15 for further discussion of the transaction. The discontinued operations, together with the continuing operations formerly known as the Concrete, Aggregate and Construction Supply (CACS) segment, were reclassified to Construction Materials segment for current reporting. The product offerings of continuing operations of the former CACS segment consisted of aggregates and construction supplies. Prior to the end of the current year third quarter, aggregates were produced at multiple locations in or near Colorado Springs

27

and Pueblo, Colorado. Construction supplies encompass numerous products purchased from third party suppliers and sold to the construction trades, particularly concrete sub-contractors. 

In the first nine months of 2019 sales in the Construction Materials segment decreased 20.3% compared to the first nine months of 2018. The decrease is due to the Company’s Grisenti pit being fully mined and working on completing reclamation versus mining at other locations. Sales of construction supplies decreased 23.7% in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the first nine months of 2018. Decreased sales combined with additional reclamation costs contributed to the current year negative gross profit of $1,501,000 compared to a gross profit of $1,960,000 reported for the first nine months of 2018. As discussed in the quarterly results, management made a strategic decision at the end of the third quarter of 2019 to cease mining operations at its Pikeview quarry. See Note 19 for further discussion.

Selling and administrative expenses were $693,000 higher in the first nine months of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018.  The increase was  primarily due to increased legal fees. Litigation fees related to the Pueblo aggregate lease were $910,000 during the nine months ended September  28,  2019 compared to $445,000 incurred during the nine months ended September 29,  2018. This litigation was settled subsequent to the nine months ended September 28, 2019. The $6,400,000 legal settlement expense was reported in the financial statements for the period ended September 28, 2019 as the claim was a known event prior to the balance sheet date. See Note 8 and Note 20 for additional discussion.

The first nine months of 2019 included a $14,781,000 net gain from a legal settlement recognized earlier in the year and a $20,217,000 charge related to the cessation of mining at Pikeview, as discussed in the quarterly results. See Note 14 and Note 19 for additional discussion. The first nine months of 2018 included a $6,934,000 write-off of deferred development costs associated with a mining property for which the Company had applied to the state of Colorado for the required mining permits. See Note 12 for further discussion.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of September 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Information with respect to the Company’s critical accounting policies which the Company believes could have the most significant effect on the Company’s reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management, is contained in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2018.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

See Note 4 to the Quarterly Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recently issued accounting standards.

MATERIAL CHANGES TO CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

There were no material changes to contractual obligations that occurred during the quarter ended September 28, 2019.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the Company’s management as well as on assumptions made by and information available to the Company at the time such statements were made. 

28

When used in this Quarterly Report, words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “contemplates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “continue” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors including but not limited to: the amount of new construction, weather, interest rates, availability of raw materials and their related costs, economic conditions and competitive forces in the regions where the Company does business, changes in governmental regulations and policies and the ability of the Company to obtain credit on commercially reasonable terms. Changes in accounting pronouncements could alter projected results. Other factors not currently anticipated may also materially and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial position. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made and we undertake no obligation to publicly update them.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Item 10(f) of Regulation S-K and, as such, is not required to provide information in response to this item.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act) as of September 28, 2019.  In connection with this evaluation, management identified a material weakness in our internal controls as of September 28, 2019 which required material adjustments by management in order for the interim financial information to conform to generally accepted accounting principles. Specifically, the lack of formalized processes and technical resources available to handle the increased volume of the complex non-routine transactions resulted in several material adjustments being recorded.  Based on this material weakness, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 28, 2019.

Remediation Plans

We recognize the importance of the control environment as it sets the overall tone for the organization and is the foundation for all other components of internal control. Accordingly, to remediate the material weakness associated with the increased volume of the complex non-routine transactions, management will formalize internal control processes and enhance the level of technical resources available to address non-routine complex transactions, in order to record and report these transactions timely and appropriately in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in each reporting period.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended September 28, 2019, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. However, we currently expect to implement changes in our internal control over financial reporting, in connection with the remediation efforts discussed above,  subsequent to the date of this filing.

Exhibit 95

Mine Safety Disclosures

The following disclosures are provided pursuant to Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of SEC Regulation S-K, which require certain disclosures by companies required to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that operate mines regulated under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”).

Mine Safety Information. Whenever the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) believes a violation of the Mine Act, any health or safety standard or any regulation has occurred, it may issue a citation which describes the alleged violation and fixes a time within which the mining operator must abate the alleged violation. In some situations, such as when MSHA believes that conditions pose a hazard to miners, MSHA may issue an order removing miners from the area of the mine affected by the condition until the alleged hazards are corrected. When MSHA issues a citation or order, it generally proposes a civil penalty, or fine, as a result of the alleged violation, that the operator is ordered to pay.  Citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and as part of that process, are often reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed. The number of citations, orders and proposed assessments vary depending on the size and type (underground or surface) of the mine as well as by the MSHA inspectors assigned.

Mine Safety Data. The following headings are used in the table below to describe the categories of violations, orders or citations issued by MSHA under the Mine Act with respect to the Company’s mines:

· Section 104 S&S Citations: Citations received from MSHA under Section 104 of the Mine Act for violations of mandatory health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a mine safety or health hazard.

· Section 104(b) Orders: Orders issued by MSHA under Section 104(b) of the Mine Act, which represents a failure to abate a citation under Section 104(a) within the period of time prescribed by MSHA. This results in an order of immediate withdrawal from the area of the mine affected by the condition until MSHA determines that the violation has been abated.

· Section 104(d) Citations and Orders: Citations and orders issued by MSHA under Section 104(d) of the Mine Act for unwarrantable failure to comply with mandatory health or safety standards.

· Section 110(b)(2) Violations: Flagrant assessments issued by MSHA under Section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act.

· Section 107(a) Orders: Orders issued by MSHA under Section 107(a) of the Mine Act for situations in which MSHA determined an “imminent danger” existed.

The following table details the violations, citations and orders issued to us by MSHA during the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2019 (Dollar amounts in thousands):

			Section
	Section 104	Section	104(d)	Section	Section			Mining
	S&S	104(b)	Citations	110(b)(2)	107(a)	Proposed		Related

(1) The definition of “mine” found in Section 3 of the Mine Act includes the mine, as well as other items used in, or to be used in, or resulting from, the work of extracting minerals, such as land, structures, facilities, equipment, machines, tools and minerals preparation facilities. Unless otherwise indicated, any of these other items associated with a single mine have been aggregated in the totals for that mine. MSHA assigns an identification number to each mine and may or may not assign separate identification numbers to related facilities such as preparation facilities. We are providing the information in the table by mine rather than MSHA identification number because that is how we manage and operate our mining business and we believe this presentation will be more useful to the reader than providing information based on MSHA identification numbers.

(2) No Section 104 Citations were subject to contest as of September 28, 2019.

(3) Represents the total dollar value of the proposed assessment from MSHA under the Mine Act pursuant to the citations and/or orders preceding such dollar value in the corresponding row.

(4) Sold 2/1/2019

Pattern or Potential Pattern of Violations. During the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2019, none of the mines operated by us received written notice from MSHA of (a) a pattern of violations of mandatory health or safety standards that are of such nature as could have significantly and substantially contributed to the cause and effect of mine health or safety hazards under Section 104(e) of the Mine Act or (b) the potential to have such a pattern.

Pending Legal Actions. There were no legal actions pending before the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission (the “Commission”) as of September 28, 2019, nor were any legal actions instituted and resolved during the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2019. The Commission is an independent adjudicative agency established by the Mine Act that provides administrative trial and appellate review of legal disputes arising under the Mine Act. These cases may involve, among other questions, challenges by operators to citations, orders and penalties they have received from MSHA, or complaints of discrimination by miners under Section 105 of the Mine Act. The following provides additional information of the types of proceedings that may be brought before the Commission:

· Contest Proceedings: A contest proceeding may be filed by an operator to challenge the issuance of a citation or order issued by MSHA.

· Civil Penalty Proceedings: A civil penalty proceeding may be filed by an operator to challenge a civil penalty MSHA has proposed for a violation contained in a citation or order. We do not institute civil penalty proceedings based solely on the assessment amount of proposed penalties. Any initiated adjudications address substantive matters of law and policy instituted on conditions that are alleged to be in violation of mandatory standards of the Mine Act.

· Discrimination Proceedings: Involves a miner’s allegation that he or she has suffered adverse employment action because he or she engaged in activity protected under the Mine Act, such as making a safety complaint. Includes also temporary reinstatement proceedings involving cases in which a miner has filed a complaint with MSHA stating that he or she has suffered discrimination and the miner has lost his or her position.

· Compensation Proceedings: A compensation proceeding may be filed by miners entitled to compensation when a mine is closed by certain closure orders issued by MSHA. The purpose of the proceeding is to determine the amount of compensation, if any, due to miners idled by the orders.

· Temporary Relief: Applications for temporary relief are applications filed under Section 105(b)(2) of the Mine Act for temporary relief from any modification or termination of any order.

· Appeals: An appeal may be filed by an operator to challenge judges’ decisions or orders to the Commission, including petitions for discretionary review and review by the Commission on its own motion.

During the fiscal quarter ended September 28, 2019, the Company had no legal actions instituted or resolved. As of September 28, 2019, the Company had no pending legal actions.

5.    Historically, operating results of the Company for the first half of the year were not necessarily indicative of performance for the entire year due to the seasonality of most of the Company’s products. Management believes the recent disposal and acquisition activity should help smooth the seasonality of the Company’s portfolio and make operating results more consistent.

LEASES

13.The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) on December 30, 2018 (the beginning of fiscal 2019), resulting in the recognition of operating right-of-use assets of $5,353,000 and operating lease liabilities of $5,427,000. The Company has entered into lease arrangements for office space, manufacturing facilities, water rights and certain equipment. A number of the leases include one or more options to renew the lease terms, purchase the leased property or terminate the lease. The exercise of these options is at the Company’s discretion and is therefore recognized on the balance sheet when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such options.

Substantially all of the Company’s leases are considered operating leases. Finance leases were not material as of September 28, 2019 or for the three months ended September 28, 2019.  The following table displays the undiscounted cash flows related to operating leases as of September 28, 2019, along with a reconciliation to the discounted amount recorded on the September 28, 2019 Consolidated Balance Sheet (amounts in thousands):

	OPERATING
	LEASE
	LIABILITIES
2019	$	342
2020		1,402
2021		1,389
2022		1,307
2023		761
Thereafter		910
Total lease payments		6,111
Less: interest		(814)
Present value of operating lease liabilities	$	5,297

Short-term lease cost represents the Company’s cost with respect to leases with a duration of 12 months or less and are not reflected on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019 operating lease cost was $628,000 and $1,459,000, respectively, including $274,000 and $484,000 of short-term lease costs. Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities for the three and nine months ended September  28, 2019 was $396,000 and $1,014,000, respectively.

New leases entered into during the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2019 resulted in the recognition of operating right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $60,000 and $649,000, respectively. At September 28, 2019 the weighted-average remaining lease term and discount rate for operating leases was 4.9 years and 6.0%, respectively.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation:

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Continental Materials Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 29, 2018 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (none of which were other than normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods and to ensure the financial statements are not misleading. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2018 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2019 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated results of operations, the net change in cash or the total assets, liabilities or shareholders’ equity of the Company. During the quarter ended March 30, 2019 the Company sold substantially all of the assets of Transit Mix Concrete Company’s ready-mix business and Daniels sand operation. The assets and liabilities related to these operations are presented as held for sale in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. See Note 15. Accordingly, the operations of these businesses are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition:

Effective December 31, 2017, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and related amendments, which creates a single source of revenue guidance for all companies in all industries and is more principles-based than previous revenue guidance. The Company adopted the standard using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard did not result in significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies, business processes, systems or controls, or have a material impact on its financial position, consolidated results of operations or consolidated cash flows. As such, prior period financial statements were not recast and there was no cumulative effect adjustment upon adoption.

Sales are recognized when control of the promised goods or services transfers to the Company’s customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s payment terms generally range between 30 to 90 days after invoice is billed to the customer. Sales are reported net of sales tax. Shipping and other transportation costs paid by the Company and rebilled to the buyer are recorded gross (as both sales and cost of sales). The Company generally recognizes revenue from the sale of products at the time the products are shipped.

While the return of products is generally not allowed, some large customers have been granted the right to return a certain amount at the end of the normal selling season for seasonal products. Sales returns and allowances are estimated based on current program terms and historical experience. Provisions for estimated returns, discounts, volume rebates and other price adjustments are provided for in the same period the related revenues are recognized and are netted against revenues.

The Company is responsible for warranties related to the manufacture of its HVAC products and estimates the future warranty claims based upon historical experience and management estimates. The Company reviews warranty and related claims activities and records provisions as necessary.

The Company performs installation services for certain projects within its Door segment. Management determined there are two performance obligations related to most of these contracts, the equipment and the installation services. The transaction price for these contracts is allocated to each performance obligation based on its stated stand-alone selling price. Revenue is recognized at a point in time as each performance obligation is completed. No maintenance or service contracts are offered by the Company.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial information in order to conform to the current period’s presentation, including a change to the Company’s reporting segments. See Note 7 for further information and for disaggregation of revenue by segment.

Leases

Leases

Effective December 30, 2018 (the beginning of fiscal 2019) the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which superseded Topic 840, “Leases”. As allowed under the new accounting standard, the Company elected to apply practical expedients to carry forward the original lease determinations, lease classifications and accounting of initial direct costs for all asset classes at the time of adoption. The Company also elected not to separate lease components from non-lease components for asset categories, except office space, and to exclude short-term leases from its Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the office space lease category the election was made to report lease and non-lease components separately as the non-lease components are billed and paid separately and are not a fixed amount over the lease term. The implicit discount rate of leases is used to calculate present values when available. When an implicit discount rate is not readily available an incremental borrowing rate is used to calculate present values.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

2.    Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method that requires deferred income taxes to reflect the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized are based on the tax rates in effect in the year in which differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based on available positive and negative evidence, it is “more likely than not” (greater than a 50% likelihood) that some or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted December 22, 2017, eliminated the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) and allows for all existing credit carryforwards to be used to offset regular tax liability for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Additionally, for tax years 2018, 2019 and 2020, to the extent that the AMT credit carryover exceeds the regular tax liability, 50% of the excess AMT credit is refundable. Any remaining credits will be fully refundable in 2021. For state tax purposes, net operating losses can be carried forward for various periods for the states that the Company is required to file in. California Enterprise Zone credits can be used through 2023 while Colorado credits can be carried forward for 7 years. The Company has established a valuation reserve related to a portion of the California Enterprise Zone credit not expected to be utilized prior to expiration.

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and state tax authorities. The amounts recorded for income taxes reflect the Company’s tax positions based on research and interpretations of complex laws and regulations. The Company accrues liabilities related to uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns. The Company did not identify any such uncertain tax positions as of September  28, 2019 or December 29, 2018.

The Company performs installation services for certain projects within its Door segment. Management determined there are two performance obligations related to most of these contracts, the equipment and the installation services. The transaction price for these contracts is allocated to each performance obligation based on its stated stand-alone selling price. Revenue is recognized at a point in time as each performance obligation is completed. No maintenance or service contracts are offered by the Company.

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial information in order to conform to the current period’s presentation, including a change to the Company’s reporting segments. See Note 7 for further information and for disaggregation of revenue by segment.

Leases

Effective December 30, 2018 (the beginning of fiscal 2019) the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which superseded Topic 840, “Leases”. As allowed under the new accounting standard, the Company elected to apply practical expedients to carry forward the original lease determinations, lease classifications and accounting of initial direct costs for all asset classes at the time of adoption. The Company also elected not to separate lease components from non-lease components for asset categories, except office space, and to exclude short-term leases from its Consolidated Balance Sheet. For the office space lease category the election was made to report lease and non-lease components separately as the non-lease components are billed and paid separately and are not a fixed amount over the lease term. The implicit discount rate of leases is used to calculate present values when available. When an implicit discount rate is not readily available an incremental borrowing rate is used to calculate present values.

EQUITY COMPENSATION

EQUITY COMPENSATION

18.  The Company adopted the Continental Materials Corporation Value Creation Incentive Plan (the “VCIP”) effective July 1, 2019. The VCIP is designed to attract and retain key management personnel by providing an incentive and reward for selected executive officers and employees of the Company. The VCIP involves only the payment of cash, not the issuance of common stock, based on appreciation of Phantom Equity or Phantom Equity Appreciation Rights (PE or PEARs, respectively) of the defined business unit, over a certain period of time. Fair value of the PE or PEAR awards was measured as of the balance sheet date presented. The awards vest over a period of four or five years and are payable over a three-year period following vesting. At September 28, 2019 total future compensation expense related to unvested awards yet to be recognized by the Company was approximately $2,796,000. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of approximately 4.3 years.

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model as its method for determining fair value of the awards. The compensation expense related to the awards is recognized over the vesting period for each award. For the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2019 the Company’s net loss included $156,000 of stock-based compensation. The total liability related to the PE and PEAR awards was $456,000, which includes $300,000 from an acquisition recorded at the opening balance sheet date, and is included as Long-term compensation on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 28, 2019.

REVOLVING BANK LOAN AND LONG-TERM DEBT

REVOLVING BANK LOAN AND LONG-TERM DEBT

10.  The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) effective November 18, 2011. The Company entered into the Tenth Amendment to Credit Agreement effective March 22, 2019. The Company had previously entered into nine separate amendments to the Credit Agreement. Cumulatively, the amendments were entered into by the Company to, among other things, (i) modify certain of the financial covenants, (ii) adjust the amount of the Revolving Commitment, (iii) terminate the Term Loan Commitment upon the repayment in full of the outstanding principal balance (and accrued interest thereon) of the Term Loan, (iv) modify the Borrowing Base calculation to provide for borrowing availability in respect of new Capital Expenditures, (v) decrease the interest rates on the Revolving Loans, (vi) extend the maturity date and (vii) decrease the Letter of Credit fee rate. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventories, machinery, equipment, vehicles, certain real estate and the common stock of all of the Company’s subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest based on a London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or prime rate based option. The Company was not in compliance with the Fixed Coverage Charge Ratio as of September 28, 2019. The lender has provided a waiver of the covenant violation for the period ended September 28, 2019. The Company and the lender will work to address terms of the existing loan agreement prior to the end of the fiscal year ending December 28, 2019.

The Credit Agreement either limits or requires prior approval by the lender of additional borrowings, acquisition of stock of other companies, purchase of treasury shares and payment of cash dividends. Payment of accrued interest is due monthly or at the end of the applicable LIBOR period.

The Credit Agreement as amended provides for the following:

· The Revolving Commitment is $20,000,000.  

· Borrowings under the Revolving Commitment are limited to (a) 80% of eligible accounts receivable, (b) the lesser of 50% of eligible inventories and $8,500,000 plus (c) 80% of new qualifying Capital Expenditures not to exceed $5,500,000 in any fiscal year (excluding the aggregate amount of any Capital Expenditures financed with the proceeds of a Revolving Line Advance).

· The Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is not permitted to be below 1.06 to 1.0 for each trailing twelve month period measured at the end of each Fiscal Quarter.

· The maturity date of the credit facility is May 1, 2020.

· Interest rate pricing for the revolving credit facility is currently LIBOR plus 2.25% or the prime rate.

Definitions under the Credit Agreement as amended are as follows:

· Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined as, for any computation period, the ratio of (a) the sum for such period of (i) EBITDA, as defined, minus (ii) the sum of income taxes paid in cash, the amount expended related to the development of the mining property discussed in Note 12 and all unfinanced capital expenditures to (b) the sum for such period of interest expense related to the Credit Agreement.

· EBITDA means for any Computation Period (or another time period to the extent expressly provided for in the Credit Agreement) the sum of the following with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries each as determined in accordance with GAAP: (a) Consolidated Net Income, plus (b) federal, state and other income taxes deducted in the determination of Consolidated Net Income, plus (c) Interest Expense deducted in the determination of Consolidated Net Income, plus (d) depreciation, depletion and amortization expense deducted in the determination of Consolidated Net Income, plus (e) non-recurring fees and costs paid by the Company in respect of the following: (i) fees and due diligence costs associated with the Company’s permitted acquisitions; (ii) legal fees and costs associated with the Valco trial preparation; (iii) executive recruitment fees for the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer; and (iv) additional fees and costs associated with the exploration of the Company’s Hitch Rack Ranch facility in Colorado Springs, Colorado to determine the suitability for mining and the pursuit of mining permits, plus (f) any other non-cash charges and any extraordinary charges deducted in the determination of Consolidated Net Income, including any asset impairment charges (including write downs of goodwill), minus (g) any gains from Asset Dispositions, any extraordinary gains and any gains from discontinued operations included in the determination of Consolidated Net Income.

Outstanding funded revolving debt was zero as of September 28, 2019 compared to $2,200,000 as of December 29, 2018. The highest balance outstanding during the first nine months of 2019 and 2018 was $2,200,000 and $9,800,000, respectively. Average outstanding funded debt was $405,000 and $6,188,000 for the first nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. At September 28, 2019, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $5,620,000. At all times since the inception of the Credit Agreement, the Company has had sufficient qualifying and eligible assets such that the available borrowing capacity exceeded the cash needs of the Company and this situation is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

The Company believes that its existing cash balance, anticipated cash flow from operations and borrowings available under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to cover expected cash needs, including planned capital expenditures, for the next twelve months.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

20.  Subsequent to the end of the third quarter of 2019, on October 15, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition from Valco of certain real property located in Pueblo, Colorado for $9 million in connection with the full and final settlement of the previously disclosed litigation between the Company and Valco. A portion of the settlement was for the property purchase and a portion was attributed to the settlement of the litigation. As the litigation claim was a known event prior to the current quarter balance sheet date, the Company has recognized the portion of the agreement related to the legal settlement in the financial statements for the period ended September 28, 2019. Since the asset purchase agreement was not a known event prior to the balance sheet date it was not recorded in the financial statements for the period ended September 28, 2019. The Company has engaged a third party to perform a valuation of the land. As the valuation has not been completed, the Company used its best estimate to allocate the final settlement to the property and settlement expense. Considering a current offer to purchase a portion of the land and research on similar properties in the same area the Company estimates the land value to be approximately $2,600,000 leaving a value of $6,400,000 as legal settlement expense which has been recognized in the Statement of Operations for the period ended September 28, 2019 and was included in accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance for the same period end. The property purchase will be reported by the Company in the fourth quarter. These amounts are management’s best estimate and are subject to change as additional information is received. See Note 8 for additional discussion.

ASSETS ACQUISITIONS

16.  During the quarter ended June 29, 2019 the Company completed three different asset purchase transactions, acquiring the assets of four operating businesses.

On May 20, 2019 the Company acquired the assets of Serenity and Fastrac, both based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, using available cash reserves. Serenity is a proprietary sliding door system providing superior sound attenuation, sold primarily into healthcare markets across the country.  Fastrac is a leading supplier of commercial doors and hardware to healthcare and hospitality customers across the country. Serenity continues to operate as a stand-alone business while Fastrac operations were consolidated with the Company’s existing portfolio company, McKinney Door and Hardware, which has similar operations. The results of the acquisition of Serenity and Fastrac are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. Both companies are included in the Door segment for reporting purposes.

On June 3, 2019 the Company acquired the assets of American Wheatley HVAC and Global Flow Products (together “GFP”), based in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma using available cash reserves. GFP sells American Wheatley HVAC branded products, including a broad line of ASME pressure vessels, custom fabricated products, valves, strainers and other hydronic accessories to commercial HVAC customers. The results of the acquisition of GFP are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. GFP is included in the HVAC segment for reporting purposes.

These two transactions are not considered material individually. However, they are considered material in the aggregate. The total purchase price paid for these transactions was $12,685,000, subject to a traditional post-closing working capital adjustment currently estimated to be $778,000,  with approximately $12,163,000 paid in cash at closing. The Company will pay additional contingent consideration, if earned, in the form of an earn out amount pursuant to the terms of earn out agreements in amounts of up to $4,300,000, the payment of which is subject to certain conditions and the successful achievement of gross profit growth targets for the acquired businesses following the closing of the transactions over a period of twenty-four (24) to thirty-six (36) months. Approximately $1,300,000 has been accrued based on estimated fair values of these earn out agreements. We acquired trade receivables of $1,787,000, inventory of $1,269,000, property and equipment of $2,530,000, other assets of $250,000, intangibles of $4,302,000 and goodwill of $3,675,000 and retained liabilities of $1,128,000. The current value assigned to trade receivables represents anticipated fair market value. These values are management’s current estimates of fair value and may change as additional information becomes available over the next several months. The working capital adjustment has not been finalized on either transaction and work continues on final valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities including receivables, inventory, fixed assets, intangibles, goodwill and accounts payable. Transaction costs, included in Selling and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2019, were $66,000 and $1,177,000, respectively.

On June 17, 2019 the Company acquired the assets of Inovate, a supplier of commercial and residential dryer and HVAC venting systems and components. The total purchase price for the net assets acquired was $11,505,000,  including a post-closing working capital adjustment of $84,000, with approximately $11,050,000 paid in cash at closing, using available cash reserves. The Company will pay additional contingent consideration, if earned, in the form of an earn out amount pursuant to the terms of an earn out agreement in an amount of up to $1,250,000, the payment of which is subject to certain conditions and the successful achievement of gross profit growth targets for the acquired business following the closing of the transaction over a period of twelve (12) months. Approximately $240,000 has been accrued based on an estimated fair value of this earn out agreement. The results of the acquisition of Inovate are included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements from the date of acquisition. Transaction costs included in Selling and administrative expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 28, 2019 were $39,000 and $515,000, respectively.

In accordance with GAAP, the total purchase price has been allocated to the tangible and intangible net assets acquired based on management’s preliminary estimates of their fair values and may change as additional information becomes available over the next several months. The working capital adjustment was finalized although work continues on final valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities including receivables, inventory, fixed assets, intangibles, goodwill and accounts payable. The condensed balance sheet of Inovate at the acquisition date was as follows:

Purchase price	$	11,505
Accounts receivable, net		1,448
Other tangible assets		578
Intangible assets		8,808
Accounts payable and accrued expenses		(665)
Total identifiable net assets		10,169
Goodwill	$	1,336

Accounts receivable are valued at anticipated fair market value and are not materially different from contracted value.

The following table presents selected unaudited pro forma information for the Company assuming the acquisition of Inovate had occurred as of December 31, 2017. This pro forma information does not purport to represent what the Company’s actual results would have been if the acquisition had occurred as of the date indicated or what such results would be for any future periods.

Revenue of the acquired companies increased total revenue by 24.3% in the third quarter of 2019. The impact of the acquired companies on earnings for the current year quarter was not material. Total goodwill added to the Consolidated Balance Sheet due to acquisition activity during the second quarter of 2019 was $5,011,000. The goodwill is attributable to the skills and technical talent of the established work force at each of the acquired businesses and synergies expected to be achieved from integrating the individual acquired business operations in to the Company’s existing consolidated business portfolio. This amount is attributable to the HVAC and Door segments in the amounts of $2,817,000 and $2,194,000, respectively. The goodwill amounts are not final and are subject to change as additional information is obtained over the coming months. Additionally, goodwill deductible for tax purposes is still being determined.

8.On October 16, 2019 an Order of Dismissal was entered regarding the Company’s previously disclosed litigation, Continental Materials Corporation v. Valco, Inc., Civil Action No. 2014-cv-2510, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The suit regarded a Fee Sand and Gravel Lease (Lease) between the Company as Lessee and Valco, Inc. (Valco) as Lessor that called for the payment of royalties over the life of the Lease on an agreed 50,000,000 tons of sand and gravel reserves. In the suit the Company sought declaratory judgment and damages pursuant to the Lease on the grounds that Agreed Sand and Gravel Reserves of 50 million tons did not exist, and for other relief including return of approximately $1,470,000 in royalty payments made by the Company to Valco in excess of tonnage actually produced (Prepayments). Based on information obtained through discovery, the Company alleged, in addition to the abovementioned claims, nondisclosure or concealment by Valco of material facts concerning the existence of Agreed Sand and Gravel Reserves of 50 million tons, and breach of warranty concerning the same. Valco asserted counterclaims against the Company alleging breach of contract and seeking declaratory judgment regarding the Company’s refusal to make further royalty payments under the Lease. In the ordinary course of business and absent any breach by Valco, the Company was required to make quarterly royalty payments amounting to not less than $300,000 in a calendar year. In response to Valco’s breaches of contract, the Company stopped making royalty payments at the start of the 2015 calendar year.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, on October 9, 2019, the Company and Valco filed a Joint Notice of Settlement stating that the parties had reached a settlement agreement resolving all claims. Trial had previously been scheduled for October 21, 2019. On October 16, 2019, the Company and Valco filed a Stipulated Motion for Dismissal with Prejudice which stated: the parties “agree that this matter, including all claims and counterclaims, dismissed with prejudice and without costs, each party to bear its own attorneys’ fees.” The Court entered the Order of Dismissal with Prejudice on October 16, 2019. See Note 20 for additional discussion.

4.    In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This new revenue standard created a single source of revenue guidance for all companies in all industries and is more principles-based than prior revenue guidance. Subsequently, the FASB issued various ASUs to provide further clarification around certain aspects of ASC 606. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. See Note 1 for further discussion of the Company’s revenue recognition policies and practices.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), requiring that the statement of cash flows explain the change in total cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This standard was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and did not have a material impact to the consolidated statement of cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which superseded Leases (Topic 840). The new accounting standard was effective for the Company beginning on December 30, 2018 (the beginning of fiscal 2019) and required the recognition on the balance sheet of right-of-use assets (ROU) and lease liabilities for all long-term leases, including operating leases. The Company elected the optional transition method and adopted the new guidance on December 30, 2018 on a modified retrospective basis with no restatement of prior period amounts. As allowed under the new accounting standard, the Company elected to apply practical expedients to carry forward the original lease determinations, lease classifications and accounting of initial direct costs for all asset classes at the time of adoption. The Company also elected not to separate lease components from non-lease components for most asset categories and to exclude short-term leases from its Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company’s adoption of the new standard resulted in the recognition of ROUs of $5,353,000 and liabilities of $5,427,000 related to operating leases, with no material cumulative effect adjustment to equity as of the date of adoption. In connection with the adoption of this guidance, as required, the Company reclassified deferred rent liabilities as reductions to lease assets. Adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income or Cash Flows. See Note 13.

There are no other significant prospective accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

12.During July 2015, TMC began development of a granite mining property south of Colorado Springs. Prior to beginning the development process, the Company deposited $2,500,000 in an escrow account per agreement with the land owner. This amount was previously included in Other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The development costs included drilling the property to ascertain its suitability for mining, engineering studies and legal expenses related to the preparation of TMC’s application to obtain the required mining permits from the State of Colorado and El Paso County.

TMC made its initial application for a mining permit from the state of Colorado in 2016. TMC filed its second application to the state in November 2017, which was rejected on April 26, 2018. The Company wrote off all capitalized costs associated with the permit application in the first half of 2018, a total of $6,840,000.  

As of September 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018 the $2,500,000 escrow balance mentioned above was included in Other current assets as the Company has begun the process to settle the account and recover the funds.

In the Company’s opinion, none of these proceedings, when concluded, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition as the Company has established adequate accruals for matters that are probable and estimable. The Company does not accrue estimated future legal costs related to the defense of these matters but rather expenses legal costs as incurred. See Note 8 for additional discussion.

7.    The Company sold substantially all of the assets of its ready mix concrete and Daniels sand operations in the first quarter of 2019. See Note 15. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company acquired the assets of four operating businesses through three separate transactions. See Note 16 for additional discussion of the acquisitions. In conjunction with these transactions management reviewed its segment reporting structure and determined it was no longer appropriate for the consolidated business going forward. The segment reporting was revised to align with the way the Company’s decision makers evaluate, manage and allocates resources to the operating businesses after the sale of the concrete and aggregates assets of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as TMC) and the acquisitions discussed below. Segment information for prior periods has been reclassified to conform to current segment reporting structure.

The Company operates primarily in the Building Products industry group. Within this industry group the Company has identified three reportable segments: the HVAC segment, the Door segment and the Construction Materials segment.

The HVAC segment produces and sells a variety of products including wall furnaces, fan coils, evaporative coolers, boiler room equipment and dryer boxes and related accessories from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Williams Furnace Co. (WFC) of Colton, California, Phoenix Manufacturing, Inc. (PMI) of Phoenix, Arizona, Global Flow Products /American HVAC (GFP) of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and Inovate Dryer Technologies (Inovate) of Jupiter, Florida. Sales of this segment are nationwide although WFC and PMI sales are more concentrated in the southwestern United States. The Door segment sells hollow metal and wood doors, door frames and related hardware, sliding door systems and electronic access and security systems from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries: McKinney Door and Hardware, Inc. (MDHI), Fastrac Building Supply (Fastrac) and Serenity Sliding Door Systems (Serenity), which operate out of facilities in Pueblo and Colorado Springs, Colorado. Sales of this segment are concentrated in Colorado, California and the Northwestern United States although door sales are also made throughout the United States. The Construction Materials segment offers aggregates and construction supplies from locations along the Southern Front Range of Colorado operated by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, Castle Aggregates and Castle Rebar & Supply of Colorado Springs, and TMOP Legacy Company (formerly Transit Mix of Pueblo, Inc.) of Pueblo, Colorado (the three companies collectively are referred to as the Castle Companies). During the quarter ended September 28, 2019 the Company determined to cease mining at its Pikeview aggregates quarry as continuing mining operations was no longer in the best interest of the consolidated portfolio. Accordingly, the Company recognized a $20,217,000 charge to record the reclamation liability associated with the property. The Company expects most of the reclamation to be completed by an outside party over approximately the next five years. See Note 19 for additional discussion.

In addition to the above reporting segments, an “Unallocated Corporate and Other” classification is used to report the unallocated expenses of the corporate office, which provides treasury, insurance and tax services as well as strategic business planning and general management services. Expenses related to the corporate information technology group are allocated to all locations, including the corporate office. The classification also includes expenses related to a property held by the Company which are not material to the consolidated Company.

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on a number of criteria including operating income, return on investment and other strategic objectives. Operating income is determined by deducting operating expenses from all revenues. In computing operating income, none of the following has been added or deducted: unallocated corporate expenses, interest, other income or loss or income taxes.

The following table presents information about reported segments for the nine-month and three-month periods ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018 along with the items necessary to reconcile the segment information to the totals reported in the financial statements (amounts in thousands):

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

3.    Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1	Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2	Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3	Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability including assumptions about risk.

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying balance sheet:

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amount approximates fair value and was valued as Level 1.

Revolving Bank Loan Payable: Fair value is estimated based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities and determined through the use of a discounted cash flow model. The carrying amount of the Revolving Bank Loan Payable represents a reasonable estimate of the corresponding fair value as the Company’s debt is held at variable interest rates and was valued as Level 2.

Phantom equity and phantom equity appreciation liability awards: Fair value is estimated based on the use of a Black-Scholes option pricing model based on publically available inputs. The carrying amount of the liability represents a reasonable estimate of the vested portion of the corresponding fair value of the awards granted and was valued as Level 2.

Contingent consideration: Fair value is estimated based on the use of a Monte Carlo Simulation model based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which are considered Level 3 inputs in accordance with ASC Topic 820.

ARO for asset impairment: Fair value is estimated using an expected present value technique using estimated cash flows over a period of time and then discounting the expected cash flows using a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate using significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which are considered Level 3 inputs in accordance with ASC Topic 820.

There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels of any financial instruments in the current quarter.

RECLAMATION ACCRUAL

RECLAMATION ACCRUAL

RECLAMATION ACCRUAL

19.  During the quarter ended September 28, 2019 the Company made a strategic decision to cease mining operations at its Pikeview quarry in Colorado Springs, Colorado as it was no longer in the best economic interest of the consolidated portfolio to continue operations. The Company has a legal obligation to complete reclamation of the property as required by its mining permits with the State of Colorado. Generally accepted accounting principles require the recognition of a liability in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. Prior to cessation of mining, reclamation was performed concurrently by backfilling mined areas with overfill from current mining. The reclamation costs were reported as operating expense as the Company could not reasonably estimate the ultimate liability. Since the Company will no longer perform concurrent reclamation and can now reasonably estimate the cost of final reclamation, an asset retirement obligation (ARO) has been recorded as of September 28, 2019. The ARO liability of $20,950,000 represents the estimated fair value of the total reclamation costs.  The fair value of the liability was calculated by applying an expected present value technique using estimated cash flows over a period of time and then discounting the expected cash flows using a credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. The related ARO asset was considered 100% impaired as total carrying value including future costs to maintain and dispose of the asset will exceed the fair value. Therefore, the Company also recorded an impairment charge of $20,217,000 related to the asset.

The purchase price was paid to the Company on February 1, 2019 less certain amounts to be held in escrow, as provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement among the Company parties and the Buyer (Purchase Agreement), to secure the Company’s obligations to pay its working capital adjustment and indemnification obligations under the Purchase Agreement. The escrow also retained amounts to be held pending the subdivision of certain real property to be sold to the Buyer at a subsequent date as included in the Purchase Agreement. Combined escrow amounts of $2,049,000 were included in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 28, 2019.

The Company retained the aggregates operations and retail building materials business of TMC and all related assets and liabilities. These operations include the Pikeview quarry (see Note 19) business located in Colorado Springs, the aggregates mining business located in Pueblo, the sand and gravel mining business located in Fremont County, and the retail building materials business at sites located in Colorado Springs and Pueblo.
