Report on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying carve out combined financial statements of Southern Felt Company Inc., Andrew Webron Limited, Andrew Webron Filtration Limited, Andrew Industries Textile Manufacturing Company (Shanghai) Limited, Andrew Industries Textile Manufacturing Company (Wuxi) Limited, Andrew Industries Textile Trading Company (Shanghai) Limited and Andrew Industries (Hong Kong) Limited (collectively, the Filtration Division of Andrew Industries Limited (“Filtration Division”)) which comprise the carve out combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2013, and the related carve out combined statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in Parent equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the carve out combined financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the carve out combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Filtration Division of Andrew Industries Limited as of March 31, 2013, and the combined results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter

 

We draw attention to the fact that, as described in Note 1, the Filtration Division has not operated as a separate entity. These carve-out combined financial statements are, therefore, not necessarily indicative of results that would have occurred if the Filtration Division had been a separate stand-alone entity for the year presented or of the future results of the Filtration Division. Our opinion has not been modified with respect to this matter.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of combination

The accompanying carve out combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and include the accounts of the Filtration Division. All intra-divisional transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. The most significant estimates and assumptions included in these financial statements are the valuation of inventory and the recoverability of accounts receivable. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.

 

Accounts receivable

The Filtration Division’s accounts receivable is comprised of amounts due from customers. Accounts receivable are included in the combined balance sheet net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. Management reviews the allowance for adequacy by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, the age of the accounts receivable balances and current economic conditions that may affect a customer’s ability to pay.

 

The Filtration Division writes off accounts receivable balances when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts. Interest is not charged on past due receivables.

 

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials, work in progress, and finished goods. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first out and weighted average cost methods. Inventories are recorded net of reserves for excess or obsolete inventory, which are based on the age of inventory and an estimate of the likelihood the cost of inventory will be recovered based on forecasted demand and probable selling price.

 

Property, plant and equipment

Property plant and equipment are stated at cost net of accumulated depreciation. The Filtration Division’s policy is to capitalize expenditures that materially increase asset lives and expense ordinary repairs and maintenance as incurred.

 

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The major categories of assets are depreciated over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Land improvements 20 years
Buildings 50 years
Leasehold improvements Lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the related asset
Plant, machinery & equipment 5 to 10 years
Furniture and fittings 3 to 10 years
Office equipment 3 to 10 years
Vehicles 4 to 5 years

 

Construction in progress assets are not depreciated until such time as the assets are ready for their intended use.

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but may be written down for subsequent impairment. Goodwill impairment is tested annually or when events occur or circumstances change that more likely than not would reduce the value of goodwill below its carrying value.

 

The goodwill impairment test involves two steps. In the first step the fair value of each reporting unit is compared with its carrying amount, including goodwill. For purposes of the first step, the fair value of a reporting unit determined in the prior year may be carried forward under certain circumstances. The fair value of each reporting unit is determined based on expected discounted future cash flows and a market comparable method. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired. If goodwill is considered impaired, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over the implied fair value of the goodwill would be recorded. There was no goodwill impairment for the year ended March 31, 2013.

 

Impairment of long lived assets

The Filtration Division reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable based on undiscounted cash flows. If long-lived assets are impaired, an impairment loss is recognized and is measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets. There was no impairment of long lived assets for the year ended March 31, 2013.

 

Income taxes

The provision for income taxes is comprised of taxes that are currently payable and deferred taxes that relate to temporary differences between financial reporting carrying values and tax bases of assets and liabilities and has been computed on a separate return basis. Income taxes are accounted for under an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future consequences of events that have been recognized in the Filtration Division’s financial statements and Income tax returns. The Filtration Division provides a valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets when it is considered more likely than not that all or a portion of such deferred income tax assets will not be realized.

 

Applicable accounting guidance requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Accounting provisions also require that a change in judgment that results in subsequent recognition, de-recognition, or change in a measurement of a tax position taken in a prior annual period (including any related interest and penalties) be recognized as a discrete item in the period in which the change occurs.

 

The Filtration Division evaluated the likelihood of recognizing the benefit for income tax positions taken in various federal, state and foreign filings by considering all relevant facts, circumstances, and information available. No amounts of unrecognized tax benefits have been recorded in the Filtration Division’s combined financial statements as of March 31, 2013.

 

The Filtration Division recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. For the year ended March 31, 2013, the Filtration Division had no provisions for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

Foreign currency translation

The financial statements of the non-U.S. subsidiaries included in these carve out combined financial statements are translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes. The functional currency of each non-U.S. subsidiary is its local currency. The cumulative translation adjustments are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income in Parent equity.

 

Accordingly, all assets and liabilities of the Filtration Division whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar are translated at the appropriate exchange rate at the end of the fiscal year and revenues and expenses at average rates in effect during the fiscal year.

 

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, our products have been shipped and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, the sales amount is fixed or determinable and collectability of the amount billed is reasonably assured. We record provisions for discounts, returns, allowances and other adjustments in the same period as the related revenues are recorded.

 

Deferred revenue of approximately $1.9 million relates to cash received from customers in advance of the goods being shipped to such customers. The deferred revenue is recognized when the goods are shipped to the customer and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer.

 

Shipping and handling costs

Net sales include amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling at the time of shipment. Costs incurred for shipping and handling total $1,838 and are included in selling expenses in the accompanying carve out combined statement of income and comprehensive income.

 

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses primarily include payroll and benefit costs for its administrative departments, advertising, and other operating expenses not specifically categorized elsewhere in the carve out combined statement of income and comprehensive income. General and administrative expenses include $1,995 in allocated costs of the Parent Company. See Note 1 for additional information.

 

Advertising costs

Costs associated with advertising are charged to expense when the advertising first takes place. For the year ended March 31, 2013, the Filtration Division incurred advertising costs of approximately $111, which have been classified as selling expenses in the accompanying carve out combined statement of income and comprehensive income.

 

Concentration of risks

The Filtration Division’s customer base is concentrated in the specific markets of felt products provided to the laundry, food and beverage, pollution control and filtration felt industries. The Filtration Division’s risk is dependent upon the general business and economic climate of these markets.

 

For the year ended March 31, 2013 approximately 12% of the Filtration Division’s net sales were to one customer. Loss of this customer could have a significant effect on the combined operations.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

For the year ended March 31, 2013, the Filtration Division obtained approximately 50% of its raw materials from seven unrelated sources. None of these suppliers provides a product that is not available from alternative sources. Accounts payable due to one of these major suppliers represented approximately 18% of total accounts payable- trade at March 31, 2013.

 

The Filtration Division finances its operations through a mixture of retained earnings, Parent investment, borrowings from related parties and external borrowings. The external borrowings and borrowings from the parent and other related parties are a mixture of variable and fixed rate interest loans minimizing any cash flow risk associated with changes in interest rates on variable-rate borrowings.

 

The Filtration Division has assets and liabilities and transactions denominated in foreign currency which are exposed to foreign currency risk. The Filtration Division does not have a formal foreign currency hedging policy however management monitors foreign exchange exposure to minimize any cash flow risk.

 

Subsequent events

Management has evaluated subsequent events for potential disclosure in or adjustment to the combined financial statements through February 12, 2014, the date that the accompanying carve out combined financial statements were available to be issued. Based on such evaluation, other than as disclosed in Note 20, no events have occurred that in the opinion of management warrant disclosure in or adjustment to the carve out combined financial statements.

The Parent Company is expected to sell the Filtration Division to a U.S. publicly listed company for $83 million. It is anticipated that the closing date for the sale will be before the end of February 2014.
