FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Statements made by us in this report that are not historical facts constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of management and express our opinions about trends and factors which may impact future operating results. You can identify these and other forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “intends,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. Such statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events, many of which are outside of our control, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from opinions and expectations. Any such forward-looking statements, whether made in this report or elsewhere, should be considered in context with the various disclosures made by us about our businesses including, without limitation, the risk factors discussed below. Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, judgments, and estimates, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies, and other factors that could cause our or our industry's actual results, level of activity, performance or achievement to differ materially from those discussed in or implied by any forward-looking statements made by or on the Company and could cause our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows to be materially adversely affected. Except as required under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we do not have any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, or otherwise.

As used in this report, “Lapolla” and the “Company” or “Us” or “We” refer to Lapolla Industries, Inc., unless the context otherwise requires. Our Internet website address is www.lapollaindustries.com. We make our periodic and current reports, together with amendments to these reports, available on our website, free of charge, as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.

Item 1. Business.

 

General Overview

 

Lapolla is a leading manufacturer and distributor of foam, coatings, and equipment, focused on developing and commercializing foams and coatings targeted at commercial and industrial and residential applications in the insulation and construction industries. Being back integrated in both foam and coating systems puts Lapolla in a strong competitive position as both product lines reduce energy consumption and ultimately lead to direct savings for consumers. Our products address growing consumer awareness of the building envelope. The building envelope is the separation between the interior and the exterior environments of a building and serves as the outer shell to protect the indoor environment as well as to facilitate its climate control. We provide superior insulation, an air barrier, and a vapor barrier with our products. We invest substantial resources to acquire, develop and commercialize a variety of foam and coating products and related sales and marketing programs on a regular basis.

 

Operating Segments

 

We operate our business on the basis of two reportable segments — Foams and Coatings. The Foam segment involves producing building envelope insulation foam for interior application and roofing systems. The Coatings segment involves producing protective elastomeric coatings and primers. Both segments involve supplying equipment and related ancillary items used for application of our products. The following table sets forth, for the years indicated, sales for our Foam and Coatings segments:

 

  2012 2011
Foams $                                58,871,570 $                                71,592,721
Coatings $                                11,512,257 $                                14,626,991

 

Foam Segment

 

Our foam business involves supplying spray foam insulation and roofing foam to the construction industry. Spray foam insulation applications consist of perimeter wall, crawl space, and attic space commercial and industrial, and residential, applications. Roofing applications consist of new and retrofit commercial and industrial, and residential, applications. Opening up our own Foam Resin Plant in 2007 enabled Lapolla to benefit from the economics of manufacturing spray polyurethane foam systems and new sales opportunities through previously unavailable channels (e.g. distribution) arose. Lapolla provides open and closed cell spray foam for insulation, as well as closed cell technology for roofing applications. We have attained, and continue to attain, certain third party credentials for our in-house manufactured spray foam systems, which enables greater acceptance of our proprietary foam products in our target markets. This segment also supplies adhesives and equipment for applications. We use our own distribution facility, as well as public warehousing in certain local areas in our target markets to better serve our customers. Performance, availability, product credentials, approvals, technical and customer service, and pricing are major competitive factors in the spray foam business.

 

Coating Segment

 

Our coatings business involves supplying a variety of protective coatings for roofing systems for new and retrofit commercial and industrial applications to the roofing industry. We use our own distribution facility, as well as public warehousing in certain local areas in our target markets to better serve our customers. Product credentials, approvals and performance, pricing, technology, technical customer service, and availability are major competitive factors in our coatings business.

 

See also Note 19, “Business Segment Information,” in the notes to the financial statements listed under Item 15 of Part IV of this report.

 

International Operations

 

Our international sales, including Canada, represented approximately 5.7% and 12.7% of our total product sales for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We have stepped up our international efforts and have entered into relationships with distributors and a major installer in various European countries. We expect 2013 and beyond to reflect increased international growth and revenues.

Sales and Marketing

 

We maintain a growing national and limited international sales and marketing focus. Sales are concentrated on contractors and distributors in the insulation and roofing industries. Lapolla utilizes direct sales, independent representatives, distributors, and public bonded warehouses strategically positioned on a state, regional, or country basis to serve customers. Insulation foam and reflective roof coatings are aggressively growing through enhanced consumer awareness due to nationally promoted programs from federal, state, municipal and other government agencies, energy companies, and private organizations. Some of these programs include the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Cool Roof Rating Council, Energy Star and state and utility company funded rebates to energy conscious building owners for following very specific recommendations, using R-value, reflectivity and emissivity as the general goal in reducing the environmental impact of the “heat island effect”. Lapolla places a high priority on sales trending to create preparedness and processes to better serve customers. Information is gathered from sales, customers, management experience and historical trending to predict needed supply for stock and warehousing to meet the needs of our customers on a timely basis. Public warehousing, distribution and direct sales allow us to supply our customers in a timely and efficient manner. The combined volumes of our products are disbursed throughout a broad customer base, which assures lack of vulnerability to the loss of one key customer.

 

Raw Materials

 

We place a high priority on forecasting material demand to meet customer demands in the most expedient and cost effective manner and manage cash flow. The primary materials being used to manufacture our foams and coatings are polyols, catalysts, resins, and titanium dioxide. The suppliers of the necessary raw materials are industry leaders in both the specific chemistries and basic in the manufacturing of the raw materials for supply. We maintain strong relationships and have commitments for continuing supply through times of shortage. A lengthy interruption of the supply of one of these materials could adversely affect our ability to manufacture and supply commercial product. With our volume potential, Lapolla continues to be a potentially lucrative target for vendors to assure their own growth and demand in 2013 and beyond. Our foam resins and acrylic coatings are manufactured in our Houston, Texas facility and we maintain sufficient manufacturing capacity to support our current forecasted demand as well as a substantial safety margin of additional capacity to meet peaks of demand and sales growth in excess of our current expectations.

 

Patents and Trademarks

 

We rely on our own proprietary technologies in our foam and coating segments for finished goods formulations.  Additionally, we also rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how that we seek to protect, in part, through confidentiality agreements with our partners, customers, employees and consultants. We market our products under various trademarks, for which we have registered and unregistered trademark protection. These trademarks are considered to be valuable because of their contribution to market identification of our products.

 

Competition

 

Competition is based on a combination of product credentials, approvals, price, technology, availability, performance, and limited warranties. Lapolla is expanding through aggressive sales and marketing, competitive pricing, a selective sales force comprised of direct salespersons, independent representatives, and distributors, building owner and contractor brand awareness, and acquisitions. Lapolla differentiates itself from competitors by offering personalized sales support and providing efficient response time on issues ranging from technical service to delivery of products. We are one of the largest suppliers of spray polyurethane foam for insulation and roofing foam nationally with global expansion plans underway. The foam manufacturing industry consists of a few large and medium sized manufacturing companies with global, national and regional presence primarily relying on distributors to service markets. We are able to access distribution channels and penetrate target markets through direct sales more effectively as a manufacturer of foam resins. Our products are supplied to large, medium and small insulation, roofing, and general contractors. Within the coatings industry, as manufacturers specifically focused on energy efficient acrylic coatings for roofing and construction as their primary line, Lapolla is a major player in a very fragmented market. Product credentials and approvals differentiate product lines and suppliers that are more readily suited to broad use and industry acceptance. We are currently listed with certain credentials and approvals to assure minimal restrictions in markets and uses. Lapolla utilizes advertising campaigns, articles in industry periodicals, trade show exposure, public relations, printed case studies, internet and website exposure, mailers and direct sales, distribution, and marketing to obtain greater product branding and recognition.

 

Employees

 

At December 31, 2012, we employed 71 full time individuals, none of which are represented by a union. We believe that our relations with our employees are generally very good.

 

Environmental Matters

 

We are subject to federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations and believe that our operations comply in all material respects where we have a business presence. No significant expenditures are anticipated in order to comply with environmental laws and regulations that would have a material impact on our Company in 2013. We are not aware of any litigation or significant financial obligations arising from current or past environmental practices that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position. However, we cannot assure that environmental problems relating to properties operated by us will not develop in the future, and we cannot predict whether any such problems, if they were to develop, could require significant expenditures on our part. In addition, we are unable to predict what legislation or regulations may be adopted or enacted in the future with respect to environmental protection and waste disposal that may affect our product or services.

 

Seasonality

 

Lapolla’s business, taken as a whole, is materially affected by seasonal factors. Specifically, sales of our products tend to be lowest during the first and fourth fiscal quarters, with sales during the second and third fiscal quarters being comparable and marginally higher. Although our foam resins and acrylic coatings are restricted by cold temperatures, we have developed certain formulations that allow for a broader range of application in colder temperatures. By broadening and diversifying our foam and coating products to those that are less sensitive to temperature during application, we increase the likelihood of less seasonal downward sales trending during the winter months. Inclement weather does impede sales, but it also produces a pent up demand that can be realized in the subsequent short term.

Historical Information

 

We were incorporated in the state of Delaware on October 20, 1989 and underwent a variety of name changes and operations. For our current operations, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Infiniti Paint Co., Inc., a Florida corporation, effective September 1, 2001, which was engaged in the business of developing, marketing, selling, and distributing acrylic roof coatings, roof paints, polyurethane foam systems, sealants, and roof adhesives in the Southeastern United States. On December 20, 2004, we changed our name from Urecoats Industries, Inc. to IFT Corporation. During the latter part of 2004, our Infiniti Subsidiary built and began operating a manufacturing plant in the Southeastern United States. On February 11, 2005, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Lapolla Industries, Inc., an Arizona corporation, which was engaged in the business of manufacturing acrylic roof coatings and sealants, and distributing polyurethane foam systems in the Southwestern United States. On April 1, 2005, our Infiniti subsidiary merged with and into our Lapolla subsidiary whereas the existence of our Infiniti subsidiary ceased. On October 1, 2005, our Lapolla subsidiary merged with and into the Company, under its former name of IFT Corporation, whereas the existence of our Lapolla subsidiary ceased. On November 8, 2005, the Company changed its name to Lapolla Industries, Inc.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

As a leading national manufacturer and supplier of foam and coatings, we operate in a business environment that includes certain risks. The risks described in this section could adversely affect our sales, operating results and financial condition. Although the factors listed below are considered to be the most significant factors, they should not be considered a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles which may adversely affect our business.

 

·   Global Economic Conditions - The current stabilizing global economic crisis described below should also be considered when reviewing each of the subsequent paragraphs setting forth the various aspects of our business, operations, and products. The inconsistent global economic recovery is causing unpredictable credit markets, irregular levels of liquidity, and rates of default and bankruptcy continue; however, increased consumer and business spending persists. Although the ultimate outcome of these events cannot be predicted, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company and our ability to borrow money in the credit markets and potentially to draw on our revolving credit facility or otherwise obtain financing on favorable terms.  Similarly, current or potential customers and suppliers may no longer be in business, may be unable to fund purchases or determine to reduce purchases, all of which could lead to reduced demand for our products, reduced gross margins, and increased customer payment delays or defaults. Further, suppliers may not be able to supply us with needed raw materials on a timely basis, may increase prices or go out of business, which could result in our inability to meet customer demand in a timely manner or affect our gross margins. We are also limited in our ability to reduce costs to offset the results of a prolonged or severe economic downturn given certain fixed costs associated with our operations.

 

·   Cost and Availability of Raw Materials - Our operating results are significantly affected by the cost of raw materials. We may not be able to fully offset the impact of force majeure events and higher raw material costs through price increases or productivity improvements. Certain raw materials are critical to our production processes, such as polyols, catalysts, and titanium dioxide. The Company has supply arrangements to meet the planned operating requirements for the future. However, an inability to obtain these critical raw materials at any future date would adversely impact our ability to produce products.

 

·   Retention of Key Personnel - Our success depends upon our retention of key managerial, technical, and selling personnel. The loss of the services of key personnel might significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our development and strategic objectives. Competition for such highly skilled employees in our industry is high, and we cannot be certain that we will be successful in recruiting or retaining such personnel. We also believe that our success depends to a significant extent on the ability of our key personnel to operate effectively, both individually and as a group. If we are unable to identify, hire and integrate new employees in a timely and cost-effective manner, our operating results may suffer.

 

·   Acquisitions - As part of our business strategy, we regularly consider and, as appropriate, make acquisitions of technologies, products and businesses that we believe are synergistic. Our primary acquisition criterion is sales volume in our core foam and coatings competencies. Acquisitions may involve risks and could result in difficulties in integrating the operations, personnel, technologies and products of the companies acquired, some of which may result in significant charges to earnings. If we are unable to successfully integrate our acquisitions with our existing businesses, we may not obtain the advantages that the acquisitions were intended to create, which may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, our ability to develop and introduce new products and the market price of our stock. In connection with acquisitions, we could experience disruption in our business or employee base, or key employees of companies that we acquire may seek employment elsewhere, including with our competitors. Furthermore, the products of companies we acquire may overlap with our products or those of our customers, creating conflicts with existing relationships or with other commitments that are detrimental to the integrated businesses.

 

·   SEC Reviews - The reports of publicly-traded companies are subject to review by the SEC from time to time for the purpose of assisting companies in complying with applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall effectiveness of companies’ public filings, and comprehensive reviews of such reports are now required at least every three years under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. SEC reviews may be initiated at any time. While we believe that our previously filed SEC reports comply, and we intend that all future reports will comply in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC, we could be required to modify or reformulate information contained in prior filings as a result of an SEC review. Any modification or reformulation of information contained in such reports could be significant and could result in material liability to us and have a material adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock.

 

·   Product Liability Claims - Our products are intended for commercial and industrial use and application by industry professionals. If any of our products are misused or applied improperly and injury results, the injured party may be able to assert a product liability claim against us although we would likely have a right of offset against the party that misused or applied the product improperly. While we carry a limited amount of product liability insurance, it may not sufficiently shield us from any potential product liability claims even with the right of offset, and any uninsured or over the limits of our insurance claims could result in material liability to us and have a material adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

 

Legal Proceedings

 

(a) Neil and Kristine Markey, et al., Plaintiffs v. Lapolla Industries, Inc., Delfino Insulation, et al, Defendants

 

A complaint entitled Neil and Kristine Markey, individually, and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiffs, vs. Lapolla industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation; Lapolla International, Inc., a Delaware corporation; and Delfino Insulation Company, Inc., a New York Corporation, Defendants, was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York and served on or about October 10, 2012 and amended on February 20, 2013. Plaintiffs bring this lawsuit individually and on behalf of a nationwide class as well as two New York subclasses. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Lapolla designs, labels, distributes, and manufactures spray polyurethane foam insulation, which creates a highly toxic compound when applied as insulation resulting in exposure to harmful gases. Plaintiffs are seeking: (i) an order certifying the lawsuit as a class action and certifying the class and sub-classes of Plaintiffs; (ii) actual, compensatory, and punitive damages; (iii) injunctive relief; and (iv) attorney fees. Lapolla considers the allegations to be without merit and has mounted a vigorous defense against the class action, as well as all other allegations. The outcome of this litigation cannot be determined at this time.

 

(b) Lapolla Industries, Inc., Plaintiff v. Aspen Specialty Insurance Company, et al, Defendants

 

Lapolla filed a complaint entitled Lapolla Industries, Inc., Plaintiff, against Aspen Specialty Insurance Company; Aspen Specialty Insurance Management, Inc., Defendants, in the United States District Court for the eastern District of New York on November 29, 2012 in a dispute related to the Markey litigation described in (a) above (“Markey Action”). The Complaint alleges that defendants initially wrongfully denied insurance coverage in the Markey Action, and later wrongfully “conditionally” agreed to provide insurance coverage. We are seeking declaratory relief as follows: (i) an order that pursuant to existing policies issued by Defendants insuring Lapolla that Defendants must defend Plaintiff in the Markey Action; (ii) an order declaring that Plaintiff may select its own legal counsel; (iii) damages in an amount to be determined based upon Defendants’ breach of good faith, plus interest; (iv) an award of reasonable attorney fees plus costs and expenses incurred by Lapolla; and (v) pre- and post-judgment statutory interest. The outcome of this litigation cannot be determined at this time.

 

(c) Various Lawsuits and Claims Arising in the Ordinary Course of Business

 

We are involved in various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, which are, in our opinion, immaterial both individually and in the aggregate with respect to our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Overall Results of Operations

 

Sales

 

The following is a summary of sales for the years ending December 31:

 

   2012  2011  2010
Sales  $70,383,827   $86,219,712   $70,496,629 

 

Sales decreased $15,835,885, or 18.4%, from 2011 to 2012, compared to an increase of $15,723,083, or 22.3%, from 2010 to 2011. From 2011 to 2012, sales decreased $12,721,151, or 17.8%, for our foams, and $3,114,734, or 21.3%, for our coatings, due to lower demand attributed to higher selling prices, compared to an increase of $9,995,501, or 16.2%, for our foams, and $5,727,582, or 64.4%, for our coatings, due to higher demand attributed to cost conscious residential and commercial building owners transitioning from traditional fiberglass insulation and roofing systems to energy efficient SPF and acrylic coatings and lower selling prices from 2010 to 2011. High and volatile energy prices continue to heighten the public’s interest for green building materials and sustainable energy solutions. Our AirTight SprayFoam division, which is a turn-key, equipment, startup, and training operation, provided additional market penetration for our foams, resulting in approximately $9.8Million, $12.0 Million, and $11.4 Million, in sales in 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. Pricing changes added approximately $1,804,245 and $1,225,204 and reduced approximately $1,152,907 in sales, while sales volumes decreased approximately $14,031,631 and increased approximately $14,497,879 and $19,317,252, for 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales decreased $13,628,546, or 19.2%, from 2011 to 2012, compared to an increase of $17,248,132, or 32.1%, from 2010 to 2011. From 2011 to 2012, cost of sales decreased $10,707,610, or 18.2%, for our foams, and $2,920,936, or 23.9%, for our coatings, due primarily to decreases of $12,721,151, or 17.8%, and $3,114,734, or 21.3%, in our foam and coatings sales, respectively. We had a 24.4% decrease and 60.8% increase in freight costs, along with a 7.9% and 5.8% increase in material costs, in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Freight costs decreased due to improved forecasting and planning methods and material costs increased due to higher prices charged by feedstock suppliers and reduced rebates from decreased sales volumes from 2011 to 2012. From 2010 to 2011, cost of sales increased $11,903,905, or 25.4%, for our foams, and $5,344,227, or 77.4%, for our coatings, due primarily to increases of $9,995,501, or 16.2%, and $5,727,582, or 64.4%, in our foam and coatings sales, respectively. We had a 60.8% and 58.6% increase in freight costs, along with a 5.8% and 2.9% increase in material costs, in 2011 and 2010. Freight and material costs increased in 2011 due primarily to sales volumes, extraordinary increases in raw material costs from global allocation, unusual geopolitical circumstances, and profit taking by feedstock suppliers, and in 2010 due primarily to increased sales volumes.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit decreased $2,207,339, or 14.5%, from 2011 to 2012, primarily due to sales decreasing $15,835,885, or 18.4%, compared to a decrease of $1,525,050, or 9.1%, from 2010 to 2011, due to extraordinary increases in raw material costs from global allocation, unusual geopolitical circumstances, and profit taking by feedstock suppliers, offset by sales growth at lower than expected margins. Gross margin percentage increased 0.8% from 2011 to 2012 due to primarily decreased freight costs and manufacturing efficiencies offset by increased raw material costs, and decreased 9.1% from 2010 to 2011 due to primarily increased freight costs and raw materials costs, offset by manufacturing efficiencies.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our total operating expenses are comprised of selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, professional fees, depreciation, amortization of other intangible assets, and consulting fees. These total operating expenses decreased $2,071,945, or 11.3%, from 2011 to 2012, due to decreases of $1,944,776 for SG&A, $165,141 for professional fees, and $72,052 for depreciation, offset by increases of $51,747 for amortization of other intangible assets and $58,277 for consulting fees, compared to an increase of $4,755,670, or 25.9%, from 2010 to 2011, due to increases of $4,216,991 for SG&A, $244,245 for professional fees, $63,316 for amortization of other intangible assets, and $246,004 for consulting fees, offset by decreases of $14,884 for depreciation expense.

Outlook for 2013

 

The Company’s outlook remains aggressive and positive, as we expect sales to continue to grow to record levels in 2013 and beyond. Our optimism is based on growing global consumer awareness about energy efficient foams and coatings and reductions in energy costs. The markets for our products are highly competitive; however, we believe that our competitive advantages are rooted in our product formulations, credentials, approvals, performance, pricing, and technical customer service. In addition, we offer the flexibility, quality of products and responsiveness that a smaller company can offer. This outlook is based on a number of assumptions relating to our business and operations which are subject to change, some of which are outside our control. A variation in our assumptions may result in a change in this outlook.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash on hand was $-0-, $-0-, and $298, for 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively. We maintain a $13 Million asset based bank financed Revolver Loan that includes an automatic cash sweep feature that identifies any cash available in our bank accounts at the end of a banking business day and then applies that cash to reduce our outstanding Revolver Loan balance for that day to fund our continuing operations. The reduction serves to decrease our daily interest expense to the extent cash is identified and swept over to reduce the Revolver Loan. Disbursements are paid daily by our Bank from cash being made available under our Revolver Loan based on a borrowing base calculation prepared daily for funding. Cash available under our Revolver Loan based on the borrowing base calculation at December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010, was $224,720, $1,246,443, and $1,449,561, respectively. On June 29, 2012, we borrowed $4,400,000 from Enhanced Capital to increase working capital. Stockholders' Equity decreased $2,875,714, or 70.7%, from 2011 to 2012, due to the comprehensive loss of $4,433,703, offset by additions to common stock par value of $31,658 and additional paid in capital, net, of $1,526,330, from issuances of restricted common stock to non-employee directors for share-based compensation and interest expense –related party, compared to, a decrease of $2,239,754, or 35.5%, from 2010 to 2011, due to the comprehensive loss of $3,597,796 and accrued preferred stock dividends of $668,945, offset by the issuance of $315,000 in preferred stock and $418,773 in common stock, and $1,293,214 in share based compensation.

 

During 2012, with the addition of a new Chief Operating Officer, focus has shifted to improving margins and reducing expenses.  The Company implemented a more stringent credit granting criteria along with implementing a process whereby all orders are reviewed before being accepted to ensure a minimum margin is obtained.  The Company also worked to reduce cash expenses by reducing the workforce, reducing the compensation of three of the executives, closing unprofitable locations and cutting spending in areas such as travel and advertising. Management believes that the cash generated from operations and the Revolver Loan availability, subject to borrowing base limitations which may adversely impact our ability to raise capital, based on budgeted sales and expenses and implemented minimum sales margin and cost controls, are sufficient to fund operations, including capital expenditures, through 2013. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we are seeking to raise additional capital from private placements of debt or common or preferred stock with accredited sophisticated investors to fund aggressive growth. If we are able to raise additional capital, anti-dilution provisions under outstanding warrants may be triggered if any security sold is convertible into or exchangeable for common stock based on the price of the common stock sold being less than the exercise price of the warrants. Moreover, pursuant to our Enhanced Note Purchase Agreement (described elsewhere in this filing), we must prepay any amount outstanding under the Enhanced Notes ($4,337,334 at December 31, 2012) out of the net proceeds of the capital raised if we undertake a registered secondary offering of our common stock pursuant to a registration statement. During 2011, we increased our Revolver Loan commitment to $13 Million and paid down our Term Loan by an additional $1,250,000, and withstood increased freight and material costs due primarily to record sales volumes, extraordinary increases in raw material costs from global allocation, unusual geopolitical circumstances, and profit taking by feedstock suppliers.

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time, provides that we will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, each person that is involved in or is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Company or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise.

Market Risk

 

We do not issue or invest in financial instruments or their derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

We have outstanding debt and related interest expense, however, market risk in interest rate exposure in the United States and limited international markets is currently not material to our operations. We primarily utilize letters of credit and credit insurance to mitigate any risk of collection in our limited business outside of the United States.

 

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

 

The information required by this Item is incorporated herein by reference to the financial statements set forth in Item 15 of Part IV of this report, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.”

 

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2012, the end of the annual period covered by this report. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of the disclosure controls’ and procedures’ objectives, design, implementation and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this report. In the course of our evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm the appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken. Based on the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and operating at the reasonable assurance level.

 

(b) Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as is defined in the Exchange Act, pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established by Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO"). These internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that reported financial information is presented fairly, disclosures are adequate and the judgments inherent in the preparation of financial statements are reasonable. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, including the possibility of human error and overriding of controls. Consequently, an effective internal control system can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance, with respect to reporting financial information. We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on COSO. Based on this evaluation, we concluded our internal control over financial reporting was, as of December 31, 2012, the end of the annual period covered by this report, effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fourth fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 9B. Other Information

 

Effective December 31, 2012, the Company amended the CFO and Treasurer, Mr. Zajaczkowski’s Executive Employment Agreement to extend the Term for an additional year to expire on December 31, 2013.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

  

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), requires our executive officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us or the written representations from certain of the reporting persons that no other reports were required, we do not believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, all executive officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners complied with the reporting requirements of Section 16(a).

We have adopted a Code of Business Ethics and Conduct ("Code of Conduct"), which contains general guidelines for conducting our business and is designed to help directors, employees and independent consultants resolve ethical issues in an increasingly complex business environment. The Code of Conduct applies to all directors, consultants and employees, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer and any other employee with any responsibility for the preparation and filing of documents with the SEC.

Item 11. Executive Compensation

 

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 

This Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis section discusses the compensation policies and programs for our named executive officers consisting of our CEO and President (Mr. Kramer), CGO, EVP, and Secretary (Mr. Adams), CFO and Treasurer (Mr. Zajaczkowski), and COO (Mr. Schnitzer). The Compensation Committee administers the compensation policies and programs for our named executive officers, as well as the cash- and equity-based incentive compensation plans in which those persons may participate.

 

Compensation Objectives

 

The Compensation Committee’s philosophy is to provide a compensation package that attracts, motivates and retains executive talent, and delivers rewards for superior performance as well as consequences for underperformance. The objectives of the Compensation Committee’s compensation practices are to (a) provide a total compensation program that is competitive in the industries in which we compete for executive talent; (b) place a significant portion of executive compensation at risk by linking such compensation to the achievement of corporate financial performance objectives and individual objectives; (c) provide long-term incentive compensation that focuses executives’ efforts on building stockholder value by aligning their interests with our stockholders; and (d) provide incentives that promote executive retention. In designing and administering our executive compensation programs, we attempt to strike an appropriate balance among these elements, as discussed below.

 

The major compensation elements for our named executive officers are base salary, annual bonuses, equity awards, insurance benefits, and vehicle allowances. Each of these elements is an integral part of and supports our overall compensation objectives. Base salaries (other than increases), insurance benefits and perquisites form stable parts of our named executive officers’ compensation packages that are not necessarily dependent on our performance during a particular year. We set these compensation elements at competitive levels so that we are able to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified executive officers. Consistent with our performance-based philosophy, we reserve the largest potential compensation for performance- and incentive-based awards. These awards include annual bonuses and long-term awards that are primarily based on our financial performance and consisting of compensation in the form of cash, stock bonuses, and stock options to provide incentives that are tied to both our short-term and long-term performance. Our performance-based annual bonuses reward short-term and long-term performance, while our stock options reward long-term performance and align the interests of management with our stockholders. We additionally provide for retention of certain named executive officers through bonuses in the case of a change in control.

 

Compensation Committee Determination of Compensation Awards

 

The Compensation Committee has primary authority for determining the compensation awards to be made to our executive officers. The Compensation Committee annually determines the total compensation levels for our executive officers by considering several factors, including each executive officer’s role and responsibilities, how the executive officer is performing against those responsibilities, and the Company’s performance.

 

Components of Compensation

 

Base Salary

 

Base salaries provide our executive officers with a degree of financial certainty and stability. In order to attract and retain highly qualified executives, we provide base salaries based on individual negotiations and general competitive hiring practices. Salaries are usually set by agreement with the named executive officers but also periodically reviewed in the case of executive promotions or other significant changes in responsibilities. The named executive officers received an average salary reduction of 3.9% from 2011 to 2012, of which Mr. Kramer was reduced by 12.5% and Mr. Adams and Mr. Zajaczkowski were each reduced by 10%, and Mr. Schnitzer was increased 25% during 2012. No formulaic base salary increases are provided to the named executive officers. The named executive officers received an average salary increase of 3.3% from 2010 to 2011. Mr. Zajaczkowski received a 15.6% increase in his base salary during 2011 based on an increase in workflow activity.

 

Annual Bonus

 

The primary purpose of our annual bonus, payable in cash or stock bonuses, is to motivate our named executive officers to meet or exceed our company-wide short-term performance objectives. The named executive officers are each eligible for an annual bonus based on targeted budgeted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), as established by the Board of Directors upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, which is designed to reward the named executive officers for their contributions to individual and corporate objectives. Each named executive officer is entitled to an annual bonus of 25% of base salary if the Company achieves its budgeted EBITDA for the Company’s fiscal year. The annual bonus shall be increased to 30% if the Company achieves 110% of its budgeted EBITDA, 35% if the Company achieves 120% of its budgeted EBITDA, and if the Company achieves greater than 120% of its budgeted EBITDA, an annual bonus greater than 35% may be paid, upon review and approval by the Compensation Committee, in its discretion. Management did not achieve the budgeted EBITDA and no annual bonuses were earned or paid by the Company for 2011 or 2012.

Long-Term Incentive Awards — Stock Options

 

Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in our Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (“Equity Plan”). In addition to our named executive officers, our key employees are eligible to receive stock option grants (each option to purchase one share of common stock) under our Equity Plan throughout the fiscal year in connection with certain events, such as a new hire, retention of an employee, integration of acquisitions or the achievement of certain individual performance objectives. Such grants provide an incentive for our named executive officers and key employees to increase our market value, as represented by our market price, as well as serving as a method for motivating and retaining them. The Compensation Committee believes that an award of stock options more closely aligns the interests of the recipient with those of our stockholders because the recipient will only realize a return on the stock option if our stock price increases over the term of the stock option. The exercise price of our stock option grants under the Equity Plan is equal to 100% of the closing price of our stock on the grant date.

 

For 2012, we did not grant any stock options to our named executive officers or key employees although we did extend an aggregate of 2,350,000 previously vested and expiring stock options, of which 2,000,000 stock options were for Mr. Kramer and 350,000 stock options were for key employees. No additional share based compensation expense was recorded on the books and records of the Company based on the extensions (modifications) primarily due to the fact that on the date of the modifications, the closing common stock price was less than the exercise price of the stock options for the purchase of the underlying common stock. For 2011, we did not grant any stock options to our named executive officers or key employees although we did extend 80,000 previously vested and expiring stock options for Mr. Adams. No additional share based compensation expense was recorded on the books and records of the Company based on the extension (modification) primarily due to the fact that on the date of the modification, the closing common stock price was less than the exercise price of the underlying common stock.

 

Perquisites and Other Benefits

 

We also provide other benefits to our named executive officers that are not tied to any formal individual or company performance criteria and are intended to be part of a competitive overall compensation program. For 2012 and 2011, these benefits included payment of health, dental, life, and disability insurance, and Company provided automobiles or auto allowances.

 

Transaction and Change in Control Bonuses

 

We have provided a transaction bonus for Mr. Kramer and Mr. Adams, and a change in control bonus for Mr. Zajaczkowski and Mr. Schnitzer, in their employment agreements, which are activated upon consummation of a change in control. See Severance and Change in Control Arrangements below for more information.

 

Severance and Change of Control Arrangements

 

We ordinarily enter into employment agreements with our named executive officers and occasionally key employees providing for specific terms of employment. Accordingly, employment of any employee without an employment agreement may be terminated at any time. We provide certain benefits to our named executive officers upon certain qualifying terminations and with terminations under certain circumstances following a change of control, which benefits are designed to retain our named executive officers, provide continuity of management in the event of an actual or threatened change of control, and to ensure that our named executive officers’ compensation and benefits expectations would be met in such event. A description of the material terms of our change of control agreements is on page 15 of this report under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control.”

 

Policy on Deductibility of Compensation

 

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), limits the tax deductibility by a company of annual compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to the CEO and any other four of the most highly compensated executive officers. However, performance-based compensation that has been approved by stockholders is excluded from the $1,000,000 limit primarily if the compensation is payable only upon attainment of pre-established, objective performance goals and our board of directors committee that establishes such goals consists only of “outside directors.” Additionally, stock options will qualify for the performance-based exception where the exercise price of the option is not less than the fair market value of the stock on grant date, and the plan includes a per-executive limitation on the number of shares for which options may be granted during a specified period. Stock awards and option grants under our Equity Plan are intended to meet the criteria of Section 162(m) of the Code. We believe all of the members of our Compensation Committee qualify as outside directors pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code. The Compensation Committee considers the anticipated tax treatment when reviewing executive compensation and compensation programs. The deductibility of some types of compensation payments can depend upon the timing of an executive’s vesting or exercise of previously granted rights. Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code impose certain adverse tax consequences on compensation treated as excess parachute payments. An executive is treated as having received excess parachute payments for purposes of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code if he or she receives compensatory payments or benefits that are contingent on a change in the ownership or control of a corporation, and the aggregate amount of such contingent compensatory payments and benefits equal or exceeds three times the executive’s base amount. If the executive’s aggregate contingent compensatory payments and benefits equal or exceed three times the executive’s base amount, the portion of the payments and benefits in excess of one times the base amount are treated as excess parachute payments. An executive’s base amount generally is determined by averaging the executive’s Form W-2 taxable compensation from the corporation for the five calendar years preceding the calendar year in which the change in ownership or control occurs. An executive’s excess parachute payments are subject to a 20% excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, in addition to any applicable federal income and employment taxes. Also, the corporation’s compensation deduction in respect of the executive’s excess parachute payments is disallowed under Section 280G of the Code. If we were to be subject to a change of control, certain amounts received by our executives could be excess parachute payments under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards

 

We did not grant any new plan-based award to our named executive officers during 2012, however, we did extend (modify) certain previously granted and vested stock options. The Company extended the 2,000,000 vested 6-year stock options originally granted to Mr. Kramer on July 12, 2005, at an exercise price of $.67 per share, (expiring December 31, 2012), for an additional 3 years (now expiring December 31, 2015). The closing price of the Company’s common stock as traded on the OTCBB on December 31, 2012, the date of the approval of the extension, was $.18 per share. There was no incremental cost associated with the modification.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

 

We entered into long term employment and stock option agreements with our currently employed named executive officers that provide certain benefits in the event of termination due to dismissal for other than cause, disability and death, or change in control.

 

Termination

 

Under Mr. Kramer’s agreement, as amended, entitlements upon termination vary depending upon: (1) termination by us without cause or by Mr. Kramer with good reason, (A) severance equal to the lesser of (i) 24 months base salary; or (ii) base salary for remainder of term; (B) product of (i) value of any equity or equity based awards granted which he can show he reasonably would have received had he remained employed by us through the end of the calendar year of termination date, or 4 months after termination date, using a predetermined formula, but only to extent not previously vested, exercised and/or paid; (C) any other amounts or benefits which he is entitled to receive through termination date under any other program maintained by us for his benefit; and (D) continued participation in any plan for medical, hospitalization and dental coverage for him as of termination date for 12 months from termination date; (2) termination by us for cause or by him without good reason, in which case, Mr. Kramer shall have no right to any bonuses, salaries, benefits or other compensation other than those accrued through termination date; and (3) termination on account of death or disability, Mr. Kramer will receive the same benefits as if his agreement was terminated without cause (see (1) above).

 

Under Mr. Adams’ agreement, as amended and extended to December 31, 2014, entitlements upon termination vary depending upon: (a) dismissal for other than cause, (i) an amount equal to 12 months annual base salary paid in equal monthly installments, (ii) the product of (I) any awards which he can show that he reasonably would have received had he remained in such executive capacity with us through the end of the calendar year or 12 months after the date of termination, whichever is greater, using a predetermined formula, but only to the extent not previously vested, exercised and/or paid, (iii) medical and dental benefits to the him only for 12 months following the date of termination, and (iv) to the extent not paid, any other amounts or benefits which he is entitled to receive through the date of termination under any plan, including accrued vacation to the extent unpaid; or (b) disability or death, (i) an amount equal to 12 months annual base salary.

 

Under Mr. Zajaczkowski's agreement, entitlements upon termination vary depending upon: (a) dismissal for other than cause, (i) an amount equal to 4 months annual base salary paid in equal monthly installments, (ii) medical and dental benefits to him only for 4 months following the date of termination, (iii) the amount of the annual bonus and change in control bonus which he can show that he reasonably would have received had he remained in his executive capacity with the Company for 4 months after termination and (iv) to the extent not paid, any other amounts or benefits which he is entitled to receive through the date of termination under any plan, including accrued vacation to the extent unpaid; or (b) disability or death, (i) an amount equal to 4 months annual base salary.

 

Under Mr. Schnitzer's agreement, entitlements upon termination vary depending upon: (a) dismissal for other than cause, (i) an amount equal to 8 months annual base salary paid in equal monthly installments, (ii) medical and dental benefits to him only for 8 months following the date of termination, (iii) the amount of the annual bonus and change in control bonus which he can show that he reasonably would have received had he remained in his executive capacity with the Company for 8 months after termination and (iv) to the extent not paid, any other amounts or benefits which he is entitled to receive through the date of termination under any plan, including accrued vacation to the extent unpaid; or (b) disability or death, (i) an amount equal to 8 months annual base salary.

 

Change-in-Control

 

If the Company or any successor terminates any of the current named executive officers’ employment agreements at any time during their respective employment periods following a Change-in-Control: each of them will be entitled to: (i) any base salary which would otherwise be payable over the remaining term of each of their agreements in one lump sum; and (ii) any annual bonus or other benefits under any Company plan or program, which have not been earned, vested or exercisable in accordance with their terms will become fully earned, vested and exercisable at the time of such termination. Additionally, we have also provided a transaction bonus equal to 8½ % for Mr. Kramer and 1½ % for Mr. Adams; and a change-in-control bonus equal to: 100% of his annual base salary if such change-in-control occurs after 18 months from his effective date of employment for Mr. Zajaczkowski, and 50% of his annual base salary if such change-in-control occurs within 12 months from his effective date or 100% of his annual base salary if such change-in-control occurs after 12 months from his effective date of employment for Mr. Schnitzer (For Mr. Schnitzer, notwithstanding the foregoing, if a change-in-control occurs within 6 months after the termination of his employment, other than for cause by Company or voluntarily by him, he is entitled to the change-in-control bonus in this provision).

 

A “Change in Control” is defined as an Ownership Change Event or series of related Ownership Change Events (collectively, a "Transaction") in which the stockholders of the Company immediately before the Transaction do not retain immediately after the Transaction, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company or, in the case of an Ownership Change Event, the entity to which the assets of the Company were transferred. An "Ownership Change Event" will be deemed to have occurred if any of the following occurs with respect to the Company: (i) the direct or indirect sale or exchange by the stockholders of the Company of all or substantially all of the voting stock of the Company; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is a party; (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than a sale, exchange or transfer to one or more subsidiaries of the Company); or (iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company. The sole exception to Change in Control and Ownership Change Event is any Change in Control that may result from the death or incapacity of Richard J. Kurtz wherein his interest is transferred to his heirs only. In such event, no Change in Control or Ownership Change Event will be deemed to have occurred.

Acceleration of Benefits Under Certain Other Plans

 

Our Equity Plan contains provisions for the accelerated vesting of stock options to participating named executive officers in the event of a change-in-control, where the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing entity or parent thereof, as the case may be ("Acquiror"), may, without the consent of any participant, either assume the Company's rights and obligations under outstanding options or substitute for outstanding options substantially equivalent options to purchase the Acquiror's stock. If the Acquiror elects not to assume or substitute for outstanding options, the Compensation Committee shall provide that any unexercised and/or unvested portions of outstanding options shall immediately vest and become exercisable in full as of the date 30 days prior to the date of the change-in-control. Vesting and/or exercise of any option shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the change-in-control. Any Options which are not assumed by the Acquiror nor exercised by optionee terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the consummation of the change-in-control.

 

The following table presents our reasonable estimate of the benefits payable to our named executive officers (1) under their employment agreements assuming that dismissal for other than cause, disability or death, or change-in-control occurred on December 31, 2012; and (2) under our Equity Plan assuming that a change-in-control occurred on December 31, 2012. Excluded from this table are any values relating to the transaction bonuses under the applicable employment agreements (as described above) as such values are incalculable based on the highly speculative nature of this particular benefit. Although we believe we have made reasonable estimates regarding the amounts payable, there can be no assurance that in the event of a dismissal for other than cause, disability or death, or change-in-control, our named executive officers will receive the amounts reflected below.

Non-Employee Director Compensation

 

Standard Compensation Arrangements

 

All directors are required to attend any annual meeting of stockholders. Each director who is not an employee is reimbursed for actual expenses incurred in attending annual stockholder, board and committee meetings. Effective July 1, 2010, the Board adopted Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan that provides each outside director will receive: (i) cash payments of $2,500 each quarter; and (ii) a stock grant of 100,000 shares, except Mr. Nadel who will receive a stock grant of 500,000 shares. All stock grants vest over a five-year period, with one fifth vesting at the end of each year beginning in 2010; provided, however, if there is a change in the control of the Company, all stock grants, which have not vested, will vest immediately upon the change in control. The following table summarizes compensation for non-employee directors for the year ended December 31, 2012, including costs incurred during 2012 for stock awards and stock options granted that vested in 2012.

(3) For Mr. Nadel, represents the aggregate compensation cost recognized related to his February 22, 2011 advisory/consulting agreement, whereby the Company agreed to pay him $200,000 per year in cash (which amount was reduced to $180,000 per year effective 7/1/12 - $181,276 paid in cash in 2012) and granted an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock (“Shares”) vesting monthly on a pro-rata basis over a 3 year period on the last day of each calendar month during the period commencing February 22, 2011 and ending January 31, 2014, with last month’s pro-rata number of Shares vesting on February 21, 2014 (“Nadel Agreement”). The Company further agreed to certain anti-dilution provisions in the Nadel Agreement. On June 29, 2012, the Company entered into a transaction which triggers the anti-dilution aspects on a monthly basis (refer to Footnote (6) below for more information) , whereby the Company was required to issue shares of restricted common stock. For 2012, an aggregate of 1,669,704 Shares vested and were valued and recorded at $951,734, plus an additional 62,101 shares were granted and vested pursuant to the abovementioned anti-dilution aspects and valued and recorded at $12,160, resulting in an aggregate issuance of 1,731,805 shares valued and recorded at $963,894. At December 31, 2012, there were 3,097,620 Shares vested (and 1,902,380 Shares unvested out of the 5,000,000 original grant), plus an additional aggregate of 757,805 shares granted and vested pursuant to anti-dilution aspects, resulting in aggregate compensation cost of $2,007,390.

For 2012, an aggregate of 266,667 options vested and were valued and recorded at $146,211.

Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

 

Directors and Executive Officers

 

The following table sets forth information as of March 10, 2013, regarding the beneficial ownership of common stock by (i) each director, (ii) CEO and President, CGO and Executive Vice President, CFO and Treasurer, and COO, and (iii) all of our directors, named executive officers and executive officers as a group. Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power over securities. Except in cases where community property laws apply, we believe that each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power over all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by the stockholder. Shares of common stock subject to vesting or options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 10, 2013 are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person granted the shares or holding the options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

(h) On April 16, 2012, the Company consolidated the promissory notes described in Items (c), (f) and (g) above into one $1,300,000 promissory note, bearing interest at 5% per annum, due, including accrued interest, on October 31, 2013, as part of a negotiation with the Bank to cure a default at December 31, 2011 in the Loan Agreement, and entered into a subordination agreement with the Bank. At December 31, 2012, the Company has accrued interest of $47,038 relating to this promissory note. See also Item (j) below.

 

(i) On June 29, 2012, in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement (described in Note 9 – Financing Instruments, Item (b)), the Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder of the Company (the “Guarantor”), entered into a Guaranty Agreement of even date with Enhanced Texas Fund, as agent under the Note Purchase Agreement, to secure the Company’s performance under the Note Purchase Agreement. The Company, in exchange for Guarantor’s personal guarantee of the obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement, issued Guarantor 5 Million shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01, which vests monthly on a pro rata basis over the two year term of the Note Purchase Agreement (the “Shares”). The Shares were valued at $.27 per share, which was the closing price of the Company common stock as quoted on the OTC Markets on the day preceding (June 28, 2012) the closing date of June 29, 2012, for an aggregate amount of $1,350,000. The aggregate value of the shares are being classified as interest expense – related party. At December 31, 2012, an aggregate of 1,273,973 shares have vested and interest expense – related party recorded was $343,884.

 

(j) On June 29, 2012, in connection with the Note Purchase Agreement (described in Note 9 – Financing Instruments, Item (b)), the Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder of the Company was required to extend the maturity date on his $1,300,000 promissory note (described in Item (h) above) to October 1, 2014 and further subordinate it to the Enhanced Notes.

Kramer, entered into a third amendment to that certain Executive Employment Agreement dated May 5, 2008, as amended, changing his annual base salary from $400,000 per annum to $350,000 per annum and including eligibility for an additional discretionary cash bonus as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on an annual basis.

On February 22, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement wherein Mr. Nadel became a consultant and Vice Chairman, for 3 years. In addition to any other compensation Mr. Nadel is currently receiving from the Company, Mr. Nadel was granted 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock, which vest monthly over 3 years, and $200,000 in cash fees per year. See also Item (t) below.

 

(o) Effective July 9, 2012, the COO, received an increase in his annual base salary to $250,000 per annum. See also Item (d) above.

 

(p) Effective December 31, 2012, the Company amended Mr. Zajaczkowski’s Executive Employment Agreement to extend the Term for an additional year to expire on December 31, 2013.

 

(q) The Company extended the 2,000,000 vested 6-year stock options originally granted to Mr. Kramer on July 12, 2005, at an exercise price of $.67 per share, (expiring December 31, 2012), for an additional 3 years (now expiring December 31, 2015). The closing price of the Company’s common stock as traded on the OTCBB on December 31, 2012, the date of the approval of the extension, was $.18 per share. There was no incremental cost associated with the modification.

 

(r) On December 31, 2012, the Company vested an additional 160,000 shares of the restricted common stock under the Board adopted Non-Employee Director Share Based Compensation Program (“Director Plan”), of which 100,000 shares were for Mr. Nadel, and 20,000 shares were for Mr. Gregg, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Larson, respectively, and paid an aggregate of $40,000 in cash to non-employee directors during 2012. The Director Plan, effective July 1, 2010, provides for the grant of an aggregate of 800,000 shares of restricted common stock with each outside director receiving a stock grant of 100,000 shares (Mr. Gregg, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Larson), and Mr. Nadel who will receive a stock grant of 500,000 shares (Mr. Nadel was an outside director at the time of approval of the Director Plan), and each outside director will receive cash payments of $2,500 each quarter, payable at the end of each quarter. All stock grants will vest over a four and half year period, with one fifth vesting at the end of each calendar year beginning in 2010; provided, however, if there is a change in the control of the Company, all stock grants, which have not vested, will vest immediately upon the change in control. As of December 31, 2012, a total of 480,000 shares of restricted common stock have vested with a corresponding share based compensation expense of $312,000, of which $104,000 was for 2012, 2011, and 2010, respectively.

 

(s) The Company accepts funds in for the purchase of certain spray rigs by customers from non-affiliated third party financing companies, including a financing company owned and operated by a relative of the Company’s Chairman of the Board (not part of the Chairman’s immediate family nor does the relative reside with the Chairman). The relative’s third party financing is provided based on competitive bidding. The total aggregate of funds received in connection with the financing of spray rigs from the relative’s company during the 2012 year was approximately $65,000.

 

(t) During 2012, the Company vested an aggregate of 1,731,805 shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01 per share, to a director for advisory and consulting services, which transactions were valued and recorded in the aggregate at $963,894.

 

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons.

 

The Company does not maintain a formal policy or procedure for review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons. The Company does regularly communicate through Board and Standing Committee meetings and Unanimous Resolutions, wherein transactions with related persons are reviewed and approved and/or ratified, or disapproved. In addition, transactions involving our directors are disclosed and reviewed by our Corporate Governance Committee in its assessment of our directors’ independence. To the extent such transactions are related to ongoing business relationships, the transactions are disclosed and, as applicable, reviewed annually. The Board of Directors intends to approve only those related party transactions that are in the best interests of our stockholders.

 

Director Independence

 

Lapolla is a “controlled company” because more than 50% of the voting power of Lapolla is held by Mr. Kurtz, our Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder. As such, we are not required to have a majority of independent directors. However, the members of our Audit Committee are required to meet applicable SEC independence standards and do meet such requirements. Lapolla uses its own definition for determining whether its directors and members of specific committees of the board of directors, are independent. In short, in order to be considered to be independent, a member of the board of directors or any board committee may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the board of directors or any board committee: (i) accept any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the Company; or (ii) be an affiliated person of the Company or any subsidiary thereof. Independent directors are not officers of the Company and are in view of the Company’s Board of Directors, free of any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. Our Board of Directors has reviewed the relationships between the Company, including any affiliates, and each board member (and each such director’s immediate family members). Based on its review, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that Mr. Kurtz, Mr. Nadel, Mr. Brown, Mr. Kramer, and Mr. Adams are not, and Lt. Gen. Gregg (Ret) and Mr. Larson are, independent directors at this time. Mr. Kurtz was determined to not be independent based on his majority stockholder and Chairman of the Board status. Mr. Nadel, who was independent during the 2010 year, entered into an advisory/consultant agreement with the Company, as well as appointed Vice Chairman of the Board, thereby disqualifying him by definition on February 22, 2011. Mr. Brown was not independent based on his initially being retained as an advisor/consultant to the Board of Directors on January 16, 2007 even though his advisory/consulting role terminated upon his becoming elected to the Board of Directors on May 22, 2007 and the stock option compensation he received was during that brief time period was de minimis. Mr. Kramer and Mr. Adams are both not independent based on being executive officers of Lapolla. There was no information considered by our Board of Directors, other than what has been disclosed in this report, in determining that Lt. Gen. Gregg (Ret) and Mr. Larson were “independent” within the Company’s independence standards.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

 

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Fees

 

Hein & Associates, LLP (“Hein”), our independent registered public accounting firm, audited our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors selects the independent registered public accounting firm. Aggregate fees billed to us by independent registered public accounting firms for the fiscal years ended December 31,

 

Fee Category  2012  2011
Audit Fees  $219,014(1)  $159,125  (1)
Audit-Related Fees   —      
Tax Fees   16,150(2)  17,543  (2)
All Other Fees   —      
    Total  $235,164   $176,668  

 

Notes:

(1)

 

Represents the aggregate fees billed to us by Hein for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements, and for the reviews of our financial statements included in our Form 10-Q filings for the second, third and fourth fiscal quarters.  

(2)

 

 

Represents the aggregate fees billed to us by Hein for professional services rendered for the preparation of Federal income tax reports. The Audit Committee and Board of Directors determined in advance of retaining Hein that the rendering of such services does not impair the independence of Hein as an auditor of the financial statements of Lapolla.  
           

 

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval

 

As part of its required duties, the Audit Committee pre-approves audit and non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. The policy generally provides that services in the defined categories of audit services, audit-related services, tax services and all other services, are deemed pre-approved up to specified amounts, and sets requirements for specific case-by-case pre-approval of discrete projects that are not otherwise pre-approved or for services over the pre-approved amounts. Pre-approval may be given as part of the Audit Committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm or on an individual basis. The pre-approval of services may be delegated to one or more of the Audit Committee’s members, but the decision must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The policy prohibits retention of the independent registered public accounting firm to perform the prohibited non-audit functions defined in Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the rules of the SEC, and also considers whether proposed services are compatible with the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. All services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm in 2012 were pre-approved in accordance with the Audit Committee’s pre-approval requirements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

Board of Directors

Lapolla Industries, Inc.

Houston, Texas

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Lapolla Industries, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule of Lapolla Industries, Inc. listed in Item 15(a). These financial statements and the financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lapolla Industries, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1. Summary of Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Assumptions.

 

This summary briefly describes the Company’s organization, basis of presentation, and critical accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions, which are presented to assist in understanding these financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The accounting policies used conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying our accounting policies in many areas. However, application of the critical accounting policies discussed below requires management’s significant judgments, often as the result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. If actual results were to differ materially from the estimates made, the reported results could be materially affected.

 

Organization History

 

The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on October 20, 1989. The Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Infiniti Products, Inc. (f/k/a Infiniti Paint Co., Inc.), a Florida corporation, effective September 1, 2001, which was engaged in the business of developing, marketing, selling, and distributing primarily acrylic roof coatings and polyurethane foam systems in the Southeastern United States (“Infiniti”). During the latter part of 2004, Infiniti built and began operating an acrylic roof coatings manufacturing plant in the Southeastern United States. On February 11, 2005, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Lapolla Industries, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“Lapolla AZ”), which was engaged in the business of manufacturing acrylic roof coatings and sealants, and distributing polyurethane foam systems in the Southwestern United States. On April 1, 2005, Infiniti merged with and into Lapolla AZ whereas the existence of Infiniti ceased. On October 1, 2005, Lapolla AZ merged with and into the Company, under its former name of IFT Corporation, whereas the existence of Lapolla AZ ceased. On November 8, 2005, the Company changed its name to Lapolla Industries, Inc. On July 1, 2008, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Air-Tight Marketing and Distribution, Inc. On November 5, 2004, the Company discontinued the operations of its former RSM Technologies, Inc. subsidiary.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications did not affect net income (loss).

 

Trade Receivables and Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company’s customers consist primarily of contractors and distributors. Trade receivables consist primarily of uncollateralized customer obligations, including personal guarantees when obtainable, due under normal trade terms which usually require payment within 30 days of the invoice date. However, these payment terms are extended in select cases and many customers do not pay within stated trade terms. The Company has trade receivables from a diversified customer base. The Company has a credit insurance policy in place covering most customer account balances. The Company believes no significant concentration of credit risk exists. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers’ financial position and monitors accounts on a regular basis. Provisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are reviewed quarterly and adjustments are made periodically (as circumstances warrant) based upon management’s best estimate of collectability of accounts. No customer represented more than 10% of gross profit for each of the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. No customer represented more than 10% of trade receivables at December 31, 2012 or 2011.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recorded based upon their fair value at the date of acquisition. According to GAAP, goodwill is required to be tested for impairment, on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired. The goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of the associated reporting unit to its carrying value. GAAP also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment, unless these lives are determined to be indefinite.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company adopted authoritative GAAP guidance regarding disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, which requires the disclosure of the fair value of off-and-on balance sheet financial instruments. Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and liabilities, which represent financial instruments (none of which are held for trading purposes), approximate the carrying values of such amounts. The Company adopted authoritative GAAP guidance regarding fair value measurements, which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: (a) Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. The Company had no Level 1 assets or liabilities at December 31, 2012; (b) Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company had no Level 2 assets or liabilities at December 31, 2012; and (c) Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. The Company had Level 3 assets or liabilities at December 31, 2012. See Note 10 to our financial statements for level 3 assets and liabilities. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, amounts due to related parties, and other payables and accruals approximate fair value due to the short period of time to maturity.

Note 1. Summary of Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Assumptions - continued.

 

Derivatives and Fair Value

 

The Company recognizes derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in the values of these derivative liabilities reflected in the statements of operations. The fair value of our derivative liabilities was estimated to be $65,656 and $154,518 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We review the underlying assumptions on our derivative liabilities quarterly and they are subject to change based primarily on management’s assessment at that time. Accordingly, changes to these assessments could materially affect the valuation, which could positively or negatively affect our financial performance in future periods. Disclosures related to our derivative liabilities are included in Note 10 to our financial statements.

 

Litigation

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is occasionally involved in legal proceedings. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might include, for example, estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers cash deposited with financial institutions and marketable securities with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Inventories

 

Cost is determined on an actual and/or standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method using a perpetual inventory system. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market (replacement cost), which does not exceed net realizable value.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company's provision for income taxes is determined using the U.S. federal statutory rate. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities along with net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. The Company's deferred tax asset was approximately $22 Million and $21.6 Million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company's federal income tax returns are open to audit under the statute of limitations for the years ended December 31, 2008 through 2011. The Company recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset of $22 Million and $21.6 Million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, reducing its net carrying value to zero. The Company has no unrecognized income tax benefits. Accordingly, the annual effective tax rate is unaffected. Should the Company incur interest and penalties relating to tax uncertainties, such amounts would be classified as a component of interest expense and operating expense, respectively. At December 31, 2012, the Company had no increase or decrease in unrecognized income tax benefits for the year. There was no accrued interest or penalties relating to tax uncertainties at December 31, 2012. Unrecognized tax benefits are not expected to increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

 

Depreciable Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method, which deducts equal amounts of the cost of each asset from earnings every year over its estimated economic useful life. Economic useful life is the duration of time an asset is expected to be productively employed by the Company, which may be less than its physical life. Assumptions on the following factors, among others, affect the determination of estimated economic useful life: wear and tear, obsolescence, technical standards, contract life, market demand, competitive position, raw material availability, and geographic location. The estimated economic useful life of an asset is monitored to determine its appropriateness, especially in light of changed business circumstances. For example, changes in technology and changes in the estimated future demand for products may result in a shorter estimated useful life than originally anticipated. In these cases, we would depreciate the remaining net book value over the new estimated remaining life, thereby increasing depreciation expense per year on a prospective basis. Net property, plant and equipment totaled $1,969,998 and depreciation expense totaled $539,487 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012. Net property, plant and equipment totaled $2,445,608 and depreciation expense totaled $556,409 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant, and equipment held for use is grouped for impairment testing at the lowest level for which there is an identifiable cash flow. Impairment testing of the asset group occurs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Such circumstances would include a significant decrease in the market value of a long-lived asset grouping, a significant adverse change in the manner in which the asset grouping is being used or in its physical condition, a history of operating or cash flow losses associated with the use of the asset grouping, or changes in the expected useful life of the long-lived assets. If such circumstances are determined to exist, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by that asset group is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. If an asset group is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on the difference between the asset group’s fair value and its carrying value. An estimate of the asset group’s fair value is based on the discounted value of its estimated cash flows. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The assumptions underlying cash flow projections represent our best estimates at the time of the impairment review. Factors that we must estimate include industry and market conditions, sales volume and prices, costs to produce, etc. Changes in key assumptions or actual conditions that differ from estimates could result in an impairment charge. Management believes it uses reasonable and supportable assumptions when performing impairment reviews and cannot predict the occurrence of future events and circumstances that could result in impairment charges.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible asset of an acquired business. Goodwill was $4,234,828 at December 31, 2012 and 2011. The Company operates two reporting units, Foam and Coatings. Disclosures related to goodwill are included in Note 7 to the financial statements. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if Management believes indicators of impairment exist, by comparing the carrying value of each of reportable unit to their estimated fair values. The annual evaluation is performed in the fourth quarter of each calendar year. The impairment test requires the Company to compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including assigned goodwill. In the fourth quarter of 2012 and 2011, the Company conducted the required annual test of goodwill for impairment. Management uses the income approach to estimate the fair market value of the business segments based on expected future economic benefits. This approach serves to estimate the value of the specific income stream with consideration given to the risk inherent in that income stream. The income approach is most relevant when valuing an equity interest that is based on the premise that Lapolla is considered a going concern or a viable business for the foreseeable future. Lapolla used the discounted cash flow method under the income approach in its analysis. In applying the discounted cash flow method, Lapolla identified the level of cash flow estimated for five years. The annual estimated cash flows and terminal value were then discounted to present value, at an appropriate discount rate, to arrive to the indication of fair market value for each reporting unit. The discount rate utilized reflected the estimate of investor-required rates of return for investments that are seen as similar to an investment in similarly situated companies like Lapolla. The assumptions were consistent with those utilized in the Company’s operating plan and long term financial planning process and considered historical experience and current and future expected market and industry conditions.

 

Management judgment is required in the determination of each assumption used in the valuation model, and actual results could differ from the estimates. Upon completion of the 2012 and 2011 annual impairment assessments, the Company determined no impairment was indicated as the estimated fair value of each of the reporting units exceeded its respective carrying value. At December 31, 2012, the aggregate amount of fair value that exceeded the carrying value of the Company's reporting units was approximately $7.7 Million, of which $7 Million was for Foam and $0.7 Million was for Coatings. At December 31, 2011, the aggregate amount of fair value that exceeded the carrying value of the Company's reporting units was approximately $11 Million, of which $9 Million was for Foam and $2 Million was for Coatings.

 

Other Intangible Assets

 

The Company had other intangible assets, net of $1,462,639 and $1,854,901 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, consisting of customer lists, product formulations, trade names, and non-competes that were acquired as part of business combinations, and trademarks and approvals and certifications obtained as part of entering into new markets. Amortization of other intangible assets totaled $501,315 and $449,568 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Other intangible assets are tested for impairment as part of the long-lived asset grouping impairment tests. Impairment testing of the asset group occurs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. See impairment discussion above under Property, Plant and Equipment for a description of how impairment losses are determined. Disclosures related to other intangible assets are included in Note 7 to the financial statements. Significant management judgment is required in the forecasts of future operating results that are used in the Company’s impairment evaluations. The estimates used are consistent with the plans and estimates that Management uses to manage its business. It is possible, however, that the plans may change and estimates used may prove to be inaccurate. If the Company’s actual results, or the plans and estimates used in future impairment analyses, are lower than the original estimates used to assess the recoverability of these assets, then the Company could incur future impairment charges, which would adversely affect financial performance.

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales are recognized as risk and title to products transfers to the customer (which generally occurs at the time shipment is made), the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales channels include direct sales, distributors, and independent representatives. Irrespective of the sales channel, returns and allowances are not a business practice in the industry. Amounts billed for shipping and handling are included in revenues (freight). Freight included in revenue was $1,301,496 and $1,146,395 in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in cost of sales. Freight included in cost of sales was $4,038,251 and $5,342,075 in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenues are recorded net of sales tax.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs related to both future and present products are charged to operations as incurred.

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for the cost of employee or director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The fair value of share based awards is estimated at the grant date using a lattice-based valuation model and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. The determination of fair value is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. Employee stock option exercise behavior is based on actual historical exercise activity and assumptions regarding future exercise activity of unexercised, outstanding options. The Company applies an estimated forfeiture rate to unvested awards for the purpose of calculating compensation cost. These estimates are subject to revision in future periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates and changes impact compensation cost in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. Disclosures related to share based compensation are included in Note 17 to our financial statements. Share based compensation expense was $1,214,105 and $1,293,214 in 2012 and 2011, respectively. If additional share based awards are granted, financial performance may be negatively affected, and if outstanding share based awards are forfeited or canceled, resulting in non-vesting of such stock awards, financial performance may be positively affected. In either instance, the Company’s financial performance may change depending on share based award activities in future periods.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company presents trade receivables, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, to ensure trade receivables are not overstated due to uncollectible accounts. Allowances, when required, are calculated based on a detailed review of certain individual customer accounts, including credit insurance and other security when applicable, and an estimation of the overall economic conditions affecting our customer base. The Company reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $996,000 and $820,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate based on worsening overall economic conditions, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments to the Company, then additional allowances may be required in future periods.

 

Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Costs

 

The Cost of Sales line item includes all the material, overhead, packaging, and freight costs associated with products shipped, including resale finished goods and raw materials, as well as payroll costs associated with manufacturing the finished goods, inbound freight, sales tax expense, product containers, labels, and other miscellaneous items that are indirectly used in the manufacturing, packaging, and shipping (outbound freight) of finished goods, including inspection, and internal transfer costs, as well as depreciation of machinery, amortization of approvals and certifications, and an allocated portion of overhead. The Selling, General and Administrative line item includes selling, advertising, marketing, customer service, and technical support, as well as the costs of providing corporate functional support for all other areas of our business.

 

Advertising and Marketing Expenses

 

Advertising and marketing costs are generally expensed as incurred. Expenditures for certain advertising and marketing activities related to trade shows and trade magazines are deferred within the Company’s fiscal year when the benefits clearly extend beyond the interim period in which the expenditure is made, generally not to exceed 90 days. Other advertising and marketing expenditures that do not meet the deferred criteria are expensed when the advertising and marketing occurs. Total advertising and marketing costs expensed were approximately $1,300,000 and $1,481,000 in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Basic income (loss) per share is based upon the net income (loss) applicable to common shares after preferred dividend requirements and upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income (loss) per share reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants only in periods in which such effect would have been dilutive. Disclosures related to net income (loss) per common share are included in Note 15 to our financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standards update that gives an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. This guidance will be effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance in the first quarter of 2012. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in equity and requires an entity to present items of net income and other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. This guidance also requires an entity to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, which will be the Company's fiscal year 2012, with early adoption permitted. In December 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that defers the presentation requirement for other comprehensive income reclassifications on the face of the financial statements. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance for the 2012 year. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that clarifies and amends the existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. This guidance will be effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, which will be the Company’s fiscal year 2012, with early adoption prohibited. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance in the first quarter of 2012. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that requires an entity to report the effect of significant reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective line items in net income if the amounts are required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income. For other amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. This guidance will be effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012, which will be the Company's fiscal year 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the guidance will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2012, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that gives an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If, after assessing the totality of events and circumstances, an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, then the entity is not required to take further action. This guidance will be effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, which will be the Company's fiscal year 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the guidance will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2. Liquidity.

 

The Company has an accumulated deficit of $84,524,609, had a net loss of $4,430,672, and used $420,709 of cash in operating activities. As a result, there are concerns about the liquidity of the Company at December 31, 2012. The Company has a working capital surplus of $2,572,348. During 2012, with the addition of a new Chief Operating Officer, focus has shifted to improving margins and reducing expenses.  The Company implemented a more stringent credit granting criteria along with implementing a process whereby all orders are reviewed before being accepted to ensure a minimum margin is obtained.  The Company also worked to reduce cash expenses by reducing the workforce, reducing the compensation of three of the executives, closing unprofitable locations and cutting spending in areas such as travel and advertising. Management believes that the cash generated from operations and the Revolver Loan availability, subject to borrowing base limitations, based on budgeted sales and expenses and implemented minimum sales margin and cost controls, are sufficient to fund the Company’s operations, including capital expenditures, through 2013. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company is seeking to raise additional capital from private placements of debt or common or preferred stock with accredited sophisticated investors to fund aggressive growth targets.

Note 9. Financing Instruments

 

(a) Loan and Security Agreement. The Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank”), effective September 1, 2010 (“Loan Agreement”), as amended from time to time, under which the Bank agreed to loan $2,500,000 under a term loan ("Term Loan") and $13,000,000 under a revolver loan ("Revolver Loan"). The Company granted the Bank a continuing security interest in and lien upon all Company assets. The Base Rate is equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate; (b) the Federal Funds Rate, plus 0.50%; or (c) LIBOR for a 30 day interest period, plus 1.50%. Effective as of June 29, 2012: (a) “Basic Reserve” was changed to $250,000 determined on a fixed charge coverage ratio (“FCCR”) satisfaction date; (b) Revolver Loan termination date was extended to March 31, 2014; (c) a “FCCR Satisfaction Date” which is the day that is 3 business days following the business day on which the Company delivers to the Bank its financial statements for a calendar month demonstrating that the FCCR, as of the last day of such calendar month, was equal to or greater than 1.0 to 1.0; (d) “Subordinated Term Debt” was defined as the principal amount of $4,400,000 under that certain Note Purchase Agreement (described in Item (b) below); (e) liens securing the Subordinated Term Debt were subordinated to the Bank’s liens under the Loan Agreement; (f) a FCCR provision providing if availability (a) is less than $1,250,000 on any 3 consecutive days or (b) is less than $1,000,000 on any day, then, as of the last day of the preceding calendar month and as of the last day of each calendar month thereafter, maintain a FCCR, tested monthly as of the last day of the calendar month for the most recently completed 12 calendar months, of at least 1.0 to 1.0. The Company is required to submit its Borrowing Base calculation to the Bank daily. If, at any time, the Company’s Borrowing Base calculation is less than the amount outstanding under the Revolver Loan, and that amount remains unpaid or is not increased from future Borrowing Base calculations to an amount equal to the balance outstanding under the Revolver Loan at any given time, the Bank, in its discretion, may accelerate any and all amounts outstanding under the Revolver Loan. The Term Loan was paid off out of the proceeds received from the Enhanced Notes (described in Item (b) below) on June 29, 2012. The Company and Bank of America entered into an amendment dated November 15, 2012 to that certain Loan and Security Agreement dated August 31, 2010, as amended from time to time, wherein the definition of “Basic Reserve” was changed to an amount, determined as of any day, equal to $750,000, the definition of “FCCR Satisfaction Date” was deleted, and a FCCR equal to at least 1.00, tested monthly as of the last day of each calendar month beginning on September 30, 2012 and continuing thereafter with respect to any such test date, and thereafter, for the most recently completed twelve calendar months. At December 31, 2012, the balance outstanding on the Revolver Loan was $5,032,450 and the weighted-average interest rate was 4.5%. The Company was in compliance with its Loan Agreement debt covenants at December 31, 2012.

 

(b) Note Purchase Agreement. On June 29, 2012, the Company and Enhanced Jobs for Texas Fund, LLC (“Enhanced Jobs for Texas”) and Enhanced Capital Texas Fund, LP (“Enhanced Texas Fund”), entered into a Note Purchase Agreement for $4.4 Million Subordinated Secured Variable Rate Notes due June 29, 2014 (“Note Purchase Agreement”), of which $2.2 Million was with Enhanced Jobs for Texas and $2.2 Million was with Enhanced Texas Fund (collectively, the “Enhanced Notes”). Repayment of the principal amount of the Enhanced Notes is at the rate of $53,333 per month from October 31, 2012 through June 30, 2013, $150,000 per month from July 2013 through May 31, 2014, and $2,270,000 on June 30, 2014. Interest on the Enhanced Notes is at a rate equal to 10.0% per annum from June 29, 2012 until December 31, 2012, 10.75% per annum from January 1, 2013 until March 31, 2013, and at a rate 0.75% higher each quarter thereafter until June 29, 2014, and an additional rate of 2.0% per annum from June 29, 2012 through June 29, 2014 on the principal balance of the Enhanced Notes on each monthly payment date, with the default interest rate 6% higher. The Company is required in the event of a liquidity event, to prepay any outstanding balance under the Enhanced Notes, plus accrued interest, the net proceeds arising from a casualty event, the net proceeds arising from an asset disposition, and the amounts paid to the Company pursuant to the issuance of capital stock (other than permitted issuances) or indebtedness (other than permitted indebtedness) following June 29, 2012. The Company has the right to prepay the Enhanced Notes without premium or penalty. The Company also entered into a security agreement with the Note Purchase Agreement providing for a second lien on all assets of the corporation after the Bank, which has a first lien on all asset of the corporation. The debt covenants agreed upon by the Company under the Note Purchase agreement consist of a minimum EBITDA which cannot for the three (3) months ending on the last day of each month set forth in a schedule be less than the corresponding amount set forth in the schedule for such period. In addition, if liquidity (a) is less than $1,250,000 on any 3 consecutive days or (b) is less than $1,000,000 on any day, then, as of the last day of the preceding calendar month and as of the last day of each calendar month thereafter, the Company is required maintain a FCCR, tested monthly as of the last day of the calendar month for the most recently completed twelve calendar months, of at least 1.0 to 1.0. The Company is required to maintain minimum liquidity of $500,000 on any given day.

Note 9. Financing Instruments – continued.

 

(b) Note Purchase Agreement - continued.

 

The Note Purchase Agreement was personally guaranteed by the Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder of the Company (“Guarantor”), in exchange for the Company issuing the Guarantor 5 Million shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01, which vests monthly on a pro rata basis over the two year term of the Note Purchase Agreement. The shares of restricted common stock were valued at $.27 per share (closing price of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the OTC Markets on the day preceding the closing) for an aggregate amount of $1,350,000, and which amount is being recorded as interest expense – related party, thereby increasing the effective interest rate on the Enhanced Notes. The Company and Enhanced entered an amendment dated November 15, 2012 to the Note Purchase Agreement, wherein the minimum EBITDA schedule which cannot for the three (3) months ending on the last day of each month set forth in a schedule be less than the corresponding amount set forth in the schedule for such period was revised, the liquidity range mechanism triggering testing of the FCCR on a monthly basis was deleted, a mechanism was put into place to maintain an FCCR equal to at least 1.00 tested monthly as of the last day of each calendar month beginning on September 30, 2012 and continuing thereafter with respect to any such test date, and thereafter, for the most recently completed twelve calendar months. At December 31, 2012, the balance outstanding on the Enhanced Notes was $4,337,334 and the weighted-average interest rate was 10.0%. The Company was in compliance with its Note Purchase Agreement debt covenants at December 31, 2012.

 

(c) Warrants. The Company previously entered into a Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement on February 21, 2007 with ComVest which matured and was paid off in 2010. Lapolla issued certain detachable warrants (“Warrants”) to ComVest and registered the underlying shares for the Warrants. The outstanding registered Warrants are for the purchase of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock, of which 1,500,000 are exercisable at a price of $.53 per share and 1,000,000 are exercisable at a price of $.65 per share, expire on June 30, 2013, and have an aggregate fair value of $65,656 at December 31, 2012. The Company determined that no liability was recognizable at December 31, 2012 for registration payment arrangements due to the registration statement being effective at December 31, 2012. See also Note 10 – Derivatives and Fair Value for more information.

 

Note 10. Derivatives and Fair Value.

 

The Company has evaluated the application of GAAP with respect to certain detachable Warrants (See Note – 9 Financing Instruments, (c) Warrants, above) to purchase common stock and determined they are required to be accounted for as a derivative as of January 1, 2009 due to the down round protection feature on the exercise price. The Company records the fair value of derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value with changes in the value of derivatives reflected in the statements of operations as “(Gain) Loss on Derivative Liabilities.” The Company’s derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under GAAP and are disclosed on the balance sheet under “Derivative Liabilities”. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s derivative liabilities were categorized as Level 3 fair value assets, respectively.

 

Level 3 Valuation Techniques

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the freestanding Warrants that contain down round provisions for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. We have valued the freestanding Warrants using a lattice model, with the assistance of a valuation consultant, for which management understands the methodologies. This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as assumptions about future financings, volatility, and holder behavior as of January 1, and December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For 2012, the primary assumptions include projected annual volatility of 219% and holder exercise targets at 150% of exercise price for the Warrants, decreasing as the Warrants approach maturity. The fair value of the derivatives as of December 31, 2012 was estimated to be $65,656. For 2011, the primary assumptions include projected annual volatility of 120% and holder exercise targets at 150% of exercise price for the Warrants, decreasing as the Warrants approach maturity. The fair value of the derivatives as of December 31, 2011 was estimated to be $154,518. The foregoing assumptions are reviewed quarterly and subject to change based primarily on management’s assessment of the probability of the events described occurring. Accordingly, changes to these assessments could materially affect the valuation.

 

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

 

Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are disclosed below and on the balance sheet under derivative liabilities:

Legal Proceedings

 

(a) Neil and Kristine Markey, et al., Plaintiffs v. Lapolla Industries, Inc., Delfino Insulation, et al, Defendants

 

A complaint entitled Neil and Kristine Markey, individually, and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiffs, vs. Lapolla industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation; Lapolla International, Inc., a Delaware corporation; and Delfino Insulation Company, Inc., a New York Corporation, Defendants, was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York and served on or about October 10, 2012 and amended on February 20, 2013. Plaintiffs bring this lawsuit individually and on behalf of a nationwide class as well as two New York subclasses. The complaint alleges, among other things, that Lapolla designs, labels, distributes, and manufactures spray polyurethane foam insulation, which creates a highly toxic compound when applied as insulation resulting in exposure to harmful gases. Plaintiffs are seeking: (i) an order certifying the lawsuit as a class action and certifying the class and sub-classes of Plaintiffs; (ii) actual, compensatory, and punitive damages; (iii) injunctive relief; and (iv) attorney fees. Lapolla considers the allegations to be without merit and has mounted a vigorous defense against the class action, as well as all other allegations. The outcome of this litigation cannot be determined at this time.

 

(b) Lapolla Industries, Inc., Plaintiff v. Aspen Specialty Insurance Company, et al, Defendants

 

Lapolla filed a complaint entitled Lapolla Industries, Inc., Plaintiff, against Aspen Specialty Insurance Company; Aspen Specialty Insurance Management, Inc., Defendants, in the United States District Court for the eastern District of New York on November 29, 2012 in a dispute related to the Markey litigation described in (a) above (“Markey Action”). The Complaint alleges that defendants initially wrongfully denied insurance coverage in the Markey Action, and later wrongfully “conditionally” agreed to provide insurance coverage. We are seeking declaratory relief as follows: (i) an order that pursuant to existing policies issued by Defendants insuring Lapolla that Defendants must defend Plaintiff in the Markey Action; (ii) an order declaring that Plaintiff may select its own legal counsel; (iii) damages in an amount to be determined based upon Defendants’ breach of good faith, plus interest; (iv) an award of reasonable attorney fees plus costs and expenses incurred by Lapolla; and (v) pre- and post-judgment statutory interest. The outcome of this litigation cannot be determined at this time.

 

(c) Various Lawsuits and Claims Arising in the Ordinary Course of Business

 

We are involved in various lawsuits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, which are, in our opinion, immaterial both individually and in the aggregate with respect to our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations.

Note 15. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share – Basic and Diluted.

 

Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.  Common stock equivalents were not considered in calculating diluted net loss per common share for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 as their effect would be anti-dilutive. The computation of the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share for the years ended:

 

   2012  2011
Net loss available to common shareholders (A)  $(4,430,672)  $(4,175,235)
Weighted average common shares outstanding (B)   107,312,421    81,243,262 
Dilutive effect of employee equity incentive plans   7,473,333    1,938,577 
Dilutive effect of warrants   —      —   
Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution (C)   114,785,754    83,181,839 
Basic earnings per common share (A)/(B)  $(0.04)  $(0.05)
Diluted earnings per common share (A)/(C)  $(0.04)  $(0.05)

 

For 2012, a total of 7,473,333 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share, of which: (a) 2,500,000 shares were for outstanding warrants, all of which had an exercise price greater than the market value of the common share as of the periods then ended (“out-of-the-money”), and (b) 4,973,333 shares were for outstanding and vested out-of-the-money stock options, of which 4,629,015 are exercisable and 344,318 are not exercisable. Outstanding out-of-the money warrants and stock options could be included in the calculation in the future if the market value of the Company’s common shares increases and is greater than the exercise price, the Company reports a profit, and the exercisability restrictions are met.

 

For 2011, a total of 7,439,999 shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share, of which: (a) 2,500,000 shares were for outstanding warrants, all of which were out-of-the-money, and (b) 4,939,999 shares were for outstanding and vested stock options, of which 550,000 shares were for in-the-money vested and exercisable stock options, 2,086,248 shares were for in-the-money vested and exercisable stock options, and 2,303,751 shares were for vested and un-exercisable stock options. Outstanding in-the-money warrants and stock options could be included in the calculation in the future if the Company reports a profit and out-of-the money warrants and stock options could be included in the calculation in the future if the market value of the Company’s common shares increases and is greater than the exercise price, the Company reports a profit, and the exercisability restrictions are met.

 

Note 16. Securities Transactions.

 

(a) During 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 1,731,805 shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01, valued and recorded in the aggregate at $963,894 for advisory and consulting services. See also Note 12 – Related Party Transactions, Items (n) and (t).

Note 17. Share–Based Payment Arrangements.

 

The Company reports share-based compensation arrangements primarily using a straight-line option valuation model to calculate compensation expense over the requisite service period of grants. At December 31, 2012, the Company had four share based compensation plans, including the Equity Incentive Plan (“Equity Plan”), Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan ("Director Plan"), Advisory and Consulting Agreement Plan (“Advisor Plan”), and Guaranty Agreement Plan (“Guaranty Plan”) in effect, and Warrants issued during 2007 and 2008 outstanding. Compensation cost charged against income for all compensation and incentive plans for 2012 and 2011 was $1,557,988 and $1,293,214, respectively.

 

Equity Incentive Plan

 

The Company’s Equity Plan, which is shareholder-approved, permits the grant of stock awards to eligible participants for up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock. The purpose of the Equity Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing an incentive to attract, retain and reward employees, directors and consultants performing services for the Company and by motivating such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of the Company. The Equity Plan provides financial performance measures upon which specific performance goals would be based and limits on the numbers of shares or compensation that could be made. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant. Stock awards may provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control. The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based valuation model or a straight-line closing price of common stock on the date of grant and spread over the requisite service period. The lattice-based valuation model assumptions noted in the following table are for stock options granted in 2010. The straight-line method was utilized in 2011 and 2012. Because lattice-based valuation models incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs, those ranges are disclosed. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the valuation model and represents the periods that options granted are expected to be outstanding; the range given below results from certain groups of employees exhibiting different behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

 

  2010
Expected Volatility 155.09 %
Weighted-Average Volatility 155.09 %
Expected Dividends
Expected Term (in years) 4.77
Risk Free Rate 2.14 %

 

There were no options granted in 2011 or 2012, however, there were extensions approved for an aggregate of 2,350,000 previously vested stock options, of which 2,000,000 options were for the CEO and President and 350,000 were for key employees. For the CEO and President, the Board approved an extension of the 2,000,000 vested 6-year stock options originally granted on July 12, 2005, at an exercise price of $.67 per share, (expiring December 31, 2012), for an additional 3 years (now expiring December 31, 2015). The closing price of the Company’s common stock as traded on the OTCBB on December 31, 2012, the date of the approval of the extension, was $.18 per share. There was no incremental cost associated with the modification. For the key employees (two), the Board approved an extension of an aggregate of 350,000 vested 5-year stock options originally granted on November 5, 2007, at an exercise price of $.36 per share (expiring November 5, 2012), for an additional 3 years (now expiring November 5, 2015). The closing price of the Company’s common stock as traded on the OTCBB on November 5, 2012, the date of the approval of the extension, was $.18 per share. There was no incremental cost associated with the modifications.

 

As of December 31, 2012, total compensation cost related to non-vested stock options was $145,037, which is expected to be recognized over 1 year after December 31, 2012 (12 months on a weighted-average basis).

 

Stock option activity under the Company’s Equity Plan as of the years ended December 31, is summarized below:

 

   2012  2011
    Number    Weighted-Average    Number    Weighted-Average 
Options   of Options    Exercise Price    of options    Exercise Price

The weighted-average grant-date fair value of options granted during 2012, 2011, and 2010 was $-0-, $-0- and $.60, respectively. The weighted-average modification-date fair value of vested options extended during 2012 and 2011 was $.62 and $.60, respectively. There were 4,460,000 options available for grant at December 31, 2012. Refer to Equity Plan and Warrants Summary below for range of exercise prices.

Director Plan

 

The Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Director Plan, which is not shareholder-approved, that permits the grant of up to 800,000 shares of restricted common stock to non-employee directors in 2010. Effective July 1, 2010, the Board granted 800,000 shares of restricted common stock to four non-employee directors, of which 100,000 was granted to Mr. Gregg, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Larson, and 500,000 was granted to Mr. Nadel. All stock grants vest over a four-and-a-half year period, with one-fifth vesting at the end of each year beginning in 2010, for serving on the Board of Directors. The Company does not consider the shares of restricted common stock granted under the Director Plan as outstanding at the time of grant due to vesting restrictions. The shares of restricted common stock when granted are held in reserve by the Company until such time that they are earned and vested, after which the Company issues the vested portion of the shares and delivers them to the respective directors. At December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, there were 320,000, 480,000 and 640,000 shares of restricted common stock granted and unvested, respectively. The compensation cost charged against income for the Director Plan in 2012, 2011, and 2010 was $104,000, $104,000 and $104,000, respectively. The fair value of each award was calculated by taking the closing price of the Company's common stock on the effective date of the grant which was $.65 per share, or an aggregate amount of $520,000. The Company is using the straight-line method over the requisite service period for attribution of compensation expense. The expected term of the awards is the last day on which the last increment of stock is scheduled to vest, or December 31, 2015. A summary of awards activity under the Director Plan at December 31, 2012, and changes during the year then ended, are as follows:

 

  2012 2011
    Number     Weighted-Average     Number     Weighted-Average  
Nonvested Awards   of Shares     Grant-Date Fair Value     of Shares     Grant-Date Fair Value  
Nonvested - Beginning of Year   480,000   $ 308,000     640,000   $ 416,000

Nonvested - End of Year   320,000   $ 204,000     480,000   $ 308,000  

 

As of December 31, 2012, there is $204,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Director Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2 years.

Advisor Plan

 

The Company and a non-employee director entered into an advisory and consultant agreement for 3 years on February 22, 2011. The Company granted 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01, which vest monthly over 3 years. The grant-date fair value was calculated by taking the closing price of the Company's common stock of $.57 per share on the date of grant and multiplying it by the number of shares granted, which equaled $2,850,000. The Advisor Plan includes anti-dilution aspects. Anti-dilution transactions occurred during 2012, which required the Company to grant and vest an additional 62,101 shares of restricted common stock. The grant-date fair value was calculated by taking the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the anti-dilution dates for a weighted-average of approximately $.20 per share and multiplying it by the number of anti-dilution shares granted, which equaled $12,160. An anti-dilution transaction occurred during 2011, which required the Company to grant and vest an additional 695,704 shares of restricted common stock. The grant-date fair value was calculated by taking the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $.33 on the date of grant and multiplying it by the number of anti-dilution shares granted, which equaled $229,582. A summary of awards activity under the Advisor Plan at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and changes during the year then ended, are as follows:

As of December 31, 2012, there is $1,084,352 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Advisor Plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.2 years. See also Note 12 – Related Party Transactions, Items (n) and (t).

 

Guaranty Plan

 

The Company, in exchange for the Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder’s personal guarantee of the obligations under a Note Purchase Agreement with Enhanced Texas Fund on June 29, 2012, granted 5,000,000 shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01, which vests monthly on a pro rata basis over the two year term of the Note Purchase Agreement. The grant-date fair value was calculated by taking the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $.27 per share on the day preceding (June 28, 2012) the closing date of June 29, 2012 and multiplying it by the number of shares granted, which equaled $1,350,000. The aggregate value of the shares is being classified as interest expense – related party. A summary of awards activity under the Guaranty Plan at December 31, 2012, and changes during the year then ended, are as follows:

 

  2012

Note 19.   Business Segment Information.

 

The Company is a leading manufacturer and supplier operating two segments: Foam and Coatings. The Company’s segments are organized based on manufacturing competencies. The Foam segment primarily supplies both roofing and building envelope insulation applications. Roofing applications consist of foam and coatings systems in new and retrofit commercial and industrial applications. Insulation is used in commercial and industrial, as well as residential, applications. We manufacture our own roofing and wall insulation foams. Additionally, this segment also supplies polyurethane as an adhesive for board stock insulation to roofing substrates for commercial and industrial applications, sundry items, and application equipment.

The Coatings segment primarily supplies a variety of protective coatings for roofing systems for new and retrofit commercial and industrial applications, as well as residential, applications. Additionally, this segment also supplies caulking for general application in the construction industry, and sundry items. We manufacture our own roof coatings. After our acquisition of AirTight’s assets in July 2008, we began making and selling our own spray rigs, which are required for the application of our foam and large scale coating jobs. This is a basic assembly operation and we undertake this task to provide turnkey service to our customers. Prior to the acquisition of AirTight’s assets, we were just a distributor of spray rigs. We allocate these amounts to either our foam or coatings segments, as applicable. The Company maintains centralized manufacturing operations in Houston, Texas for its Foam, Coatings, and Spray Rigs. Each of the businesses in which the Company is engaged is highly competitive. However, diversification of products within these segments and national, including limited international, markets served tends to minimize the impact on the Company’s total sales and earnings of changes in demand for a particular product. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company allocates resources to segments and evaluates the performance of segments based upon reported segment income before income taxes. A substantial amount of administrative expenses are allocated to the segments. The portion not allocated to the segments represents the unallocated cost of certain corporate expenses and are included in Unallocated Amounts. There are no intersegment sales or transfers. The following are selected results of reportable segments:
