SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") as produced by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") is the sole source of authoritative GAAP for non-governmental entities. The information furnished includes all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2013 and the results of our operations and changes in our cash flows for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. Additional information, including the audited December 31, 2012 consolidated financial statements and the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Liquidity and Going Concern
As discussed in Note 5 - "Long Term Debt and Notes Payable to Bank," all of the Company's debt is with Fifth Third Bank (the “Bank”) and virtually all is scheduled to mature in April 2014, which requires current classification in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2013. Further, the Company is not in compliance with all of the debt covenants of this indebtedness as measured at June 30, 2013. This condition allows the Bank, if it chooses, to call the debt due immediately. In prior reporting periods, where relevant, the Company has obtained from the Bank a waiver of non-compliance with applicable loan covenants. For the June 30, 2013 measurement period, a waiver of non-compliance was not obtained as the Company has been in the active process of restructuring its debt.  This debt restructuring process has included the Company's existing bank as well as other banks.  Management expects any restructuring with the Bank would include extending the maturity of the Company's revolving line of credit beyond 2014 and embody a waiver of any past non-compliance with loan covenants.

It is management's plan to complete this debt restructuring as soon as practicable. However, there can be no assurance this debt restructuring can be completed to management's satisfaction, timely or at all. The inability to complete this debt restructuring in a satisfactory manner could have a material, adverse impact on the Company. Further, if the Bank were to call the debt due immediately, it would have a material, adverse impact on the Company.

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The going concern basis of presentation assumes that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company's continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to satisfactorily restructure its debt.  These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of the carrying amounts of assets or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X, management must make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the amounts reported for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as affecting the disclosures provided. Examples of estimates include the allowance for doubtful accounts, estimates associated with annual intangible impairment tests, estimates of deferred income tax assets and liabilities, estimates of inventory balances, and estimates of stock option values. The Company also uses estimates when assessing fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in business acquisitions as well as any fair value and any related impairment charges related to the carrying value of machinery and equipment, and other long-lived assets. Despite the Company’s intention to establish accurate estimates and use reasonable assumptions, actual results may differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
We have reclassified certain income statement items within the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the prior year in order to be comparable with the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported income.
Fair Value
We carry certain of our financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. These financial assets and liabilities are composed of cash and cash equivalents and derivative instruments. Long-term debt is carried at cost, and the fair value is disclosed herein. In addition, we measure certain assets, such as intangibles and other long-lived assets, at fair value on a non-recurring basis to evaluate those assets for potential impairment. Fair value is defined as 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.
In accordance with applicable accounting standards, we categorize our financial assets and liabilities into the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities with values based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. Examples of level 1 financial instruments include active exchange-traded equity securities and certain U.S. government securities.
Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities with values based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Examples of level 2 financial instruments include commercial paper purchased from the State Street-administered asset-backed commercial paper conduits, various types of interest-rate and commodity-based derivative instruments, and various types of fixed-income investment securities. Pricing models are utilized to estimate fair value for certain financial assets and liabilities categorized in level 2.
Level 3 – Financial assets and liabilities with values based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable in the market and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are based on the best available information, some of which is internally developed. Examples of level 3 financial instruments include certain corporate debt with little or no market activity and a resulting lack of price transparency.
When determining the fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. When possible, we look to active and observable markets to price identical assets or liabilities. When identical assets and liabilities are not traded in active markets, we look to market observable data for similar assets and liabilities. Nevertheless, certain assets and liabilities are not actively traded in observable markets, and we use alternative valuation techniques to derive fair value measurements.
We use the fair value methodology outlined in the related accounting standard to value the assets and liabilities for cash, debt and derivatives. All of our cash is defined as Level 1 and all our debt and derivative contracts are defined as Level 2. In accordance with this guidance, the following table represents our fair value hierarchy for Level 1 and Level 2 financial instruments at June 30, 2013 (in thousands):

We have had no transfers in or out of Levels 1 or 2 fair value measurements, and no activity in Level 3 fair value measurements for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013.
Factoring fees and certain banking expenses
We have included factoring fees and certain banking expenses relating to our loans and loan restructuring within interest expense. The factoring fees totaled $80.2 thousand and $116.6 thousand for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The loan fee amortization expense relating to our loans and loan restructuring totaled $220.2 thousand and $114.0 thousand for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Subsequent Events
We have evaluated the period from June 30, 2013 through the date the financial statements herein were issued for subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements and we identified the following events:
Changes to Management and Board:

On July 15, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors appointed the Vice President of Recycling, Jim Wiseman, as General Manager of the Company, reporting to Orson Oliver, interim Chief Executive Officer and interim President, with the primary responsibility of overseeing the day-to-day operation of the Company.

On July 26, 2013, the Company's Board of Directors authorized an increase in the number of directors which constitute the entire Board of Directors from four to five.

On July 26, 2013, the Board of Directors appointed Ronald W. Strecker to fill a board vacancy and also appointed Mr. Strecker to serve on the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

Termination of the Management Services Agreement with Blue Equity, LLC:

At the Company's annual meeting of shareholders on July 16, 2013 (the "Annual Meeting"), the Company's shareholders voted against approval of the options to purchase 1.5 million shares that had been granted to Blue Equity, LLC ("Blue Equity") under the Management Services Agreement (the "Management Agreement") dated April 1, 2013. In accordance with the Management Agreement, the options terminated on that same date.

Following the failure of the Company's shareholders to approve the option grant, Blue Equity delivered a letter to the Company stating that it was terminating the Management Agreement, effective July 31, 2013. In addition, Blue Equity notified the Company of its intention to exercise its right to cause the Company to redeem 125.0 thousand shares of Company Common Stock for $4.00 per share, the price at which Blue Equity purchased those shares, payable on September 30, 2013. See Note 2 - "Management Services Agreement with Blue Equity, LLC" for additional details relating to this agreement and its termination.
Articles of Amendment to the Articles of Incorporation:
At the Annual Meeting, the Company's shareholders approved the amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation (the "Amendment") pursuant to which the Company's authorized common stock increased by 10.0 million shares, from 10.0 million to 20.0 million shares. The Amendment is discussed in the proxy statement dated June 6, 2013.

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

As of June 30, 2013, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-2, Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. This update requires that the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income be reported on the respective line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is required under U.S. generally accepted principles to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period to net income. For reclassifications involving other amounts, cross references would be required to other disclosures provided under generally accepted accounting principles on such items. This update is effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and interim periods within those years. Since this update addresses only financial reporting disclosures, the Company does not expect it to have a direct impact on the Company’s financial statements. No reclassification events occurred in the quarter or six month period ended June 30, 2013.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry forward Exists, an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. This update clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward if such settlement is required or expected in the event the uncertain tax position is disallowed. In situations where a net operating loss carry forward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carry forward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction or the tax law of the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. Retrospective application is permitted. The Company will comply with the presentation requirements of this ASU for the quarter ending March 31, 2014. The Company does not expect the impact of adopting this ASU to be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows as we do not currently have any uncertain tax positions which would require an unrecognized tax benefit liability to be recorded.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes, an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The update permits the use of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a US benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under FASB ASC Topic 815, in addition to the interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the US government ("UST") and the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). The update also removes the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. This ASU is effective prospectively for qualifying new or re-designated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The Company does not expect the impact of adopting this ASU to be material to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
