KATY INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
 
Note 1.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation Policy and Basis of Presentation – The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Katy Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries in which it has a greater than 50% voting interest or significant influence, collectively “Katy” or the “Company”.  All significant intercompany accounts, profits and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2016 and the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and September 25, 2015 and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and September 25, 2015 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods.  Interim results may not be indicative of results to be realized for the entire year.  The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.  The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

Fiscal Year – The Company operates and reports using a 4-4-5 fiscal year which always ends on December 31.  As a result, December and January do not typically consist of five and four weeks, respectively.  The three months ended September 30, 2016 and September 25, 2015 consisted of 63 shipping days each.  The nine months ended September 30, 2016 and September 25, 2015 consisted of 192 and 186 shipping days, respectively.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

InventoriesAt September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, approximately 60% and 67%, respectively, of Katy’s inventories were accounted for using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method of costing, while the remaining inventories were accounted for using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.  Current cost, as determined using the FIFO method, exceeded LIFO cost by $3.7 million at September 30, 2016 and $3.6 million at December 31, 2015. The components of inventories are as follows as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively (amounts in thousands):

Fair Value Measurement and Financial Instruments – Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Various valuation techniques exist for measuring fair value, including the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). These valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. The authoritative accounting guidance for fair value provides a hierarchy that prioritizes these two inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels.
 
7

The following is a brief description of those three levels:

·
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

·
Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

·
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

The Company determines the fair value of its pension assets annually primarily based on the fair value of underlying investments and market-based inputs (Level 2) and are evaluated by a third-party. The Company does not have any unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Share-Based Payment – Compensation cost recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and September 25, 2015 includes compensation cost for outstanding stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) as of September 30, 2016 and September 25, 2015 based on the September 30, 2016 and the September 25, 2015 fair values, respectively.  The Company re-measures the fair value of SARs each reporting period until the award is settled and compensation expense is recognized each reporting period for changes in fair value and vesting.

Compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The components of compensation expense are as follows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and September 25, 2015, respectively (amounts in thousands):

The fair value of SARs, a liability award, was estimated at September 30, 2016 and September 25, 2015 using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The Company estimated the expected term by averaging the minimum and maximum lives expected for each award.  In addition, the Company estimated volatility by considering its historical stock volatility over a term comparable to the remaining expected life of each award.  The risk-free interest rate is the current yield available on U.S. treasury issues with a remaining term equal to each award.  The Company estimates forfeitures using historical results.  Its estimates of forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from their estimate.  The assumptions for expected term, volatility and risk-free rate are presented in the table below as of September 30, 2016 and September 25, 2015, respectively:

   
September 30,
2016
 
September 25,
2015
         
Expected term (years)
   0.7 - 4.8   0.9 - 4.8
Volatility
   188.8% - 274.3%
 
133.1% - 313.7%
Risk-free interest rate
   0.5% - 1.1%
 
0.3% - 1.4%
 
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss – The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are foreign currency translation adjustments and pension and other postretirement benefits adjustments.  The balance of the foreign currency translation adjustments account was $1.0 at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. The balance of the pension and other postretirement benefits adjustments account was $0.7 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

Segment Reporting – Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief decision maker or group in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  The Company’s chief decision maker reviews the results of operations and requests for capital expenditures based on one industry segment: manufacturing, importing, distributing commercial cleaning, storage, and structural foam products.  The Company’s entire revenue is generated through this segment.

Reclassifications – The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”) during the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU” or “Update”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This ASU is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model that requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is not permitted. On July 9, 2015 the FASB voted to defer the effective date of this standard by one year to December 15, 2017 for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after that date and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. Companies may use either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach to adopt this ASU. We are currently evaluating which transition approach to use and the full impact this ASU will have on our future financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330),” authoritative guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of inventory. Under this new standard, an entity should measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The amendments in this guidance should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company does not believe this will have any material impact on its financial statements.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes,” which simplifies the reporting of deferred tax positions, requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities to be classified as noncurrent in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as opposed to current and noncurrent classification under current GAAP. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not believe this will have any material impact on its financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” which requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases with terms of more than 12 months. Recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses will depend on classification as a finance or operating lease. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to its future financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230),” which addresses eight specific cash flow issues. Cash flow issues pertaining to the Company include clarification on classification of debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, and separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact to its future financial statements.

Note 3.
LOSS PER SHARE

The condensed consolidated financial statements include basic and diluted loss per share. Diluted per share information is calculated by considering the impact of potential common stock on the weighted average shares outstanding. Potential common stock consists of (a) incremental shares that would be available for issuance upon the assumed exercise of stock options “in the money” based on the average stock price for the respective period, (b) convertible preferred shares (see Note 8), accounted for using the “if converted” basis, which assumes their conversion to common stock at a ratio of 16.6:1, (c) convertible debt (see Note 4), accounted for using the “if converted” basis, which assumes its conversion to common stock at a conversion rate of $0.0697 per share, and (d) the Centrex earnout payment obligation (see Note 4) accounted for using the “if converted” basis, which assumes its conversion to common stock at a conversion rate based upon the relative value of the earnout payment obligation and the value of the convertible debt.

As of September 30, 2016 and September 25, 2015, all options had expired. At September 30, 2016 and September 25, 2015, 1,131,551 convertible preferred shares were outstanding, which are in total, convertible into 18,859,183 shares of the Company’s common stock. Convertible debt was issued on August 11, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, $26.3 million of convertible debt (including outstanding principal and interest as of that date) was outstanding, which is in total, convertible into 377,109,583 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Centrex earnout payment obligation, became convertible into the Company’s common stock as part of the Fourth Amendment agreement on August 11, 2016 (see Note 4).  As of September 30, 2016, $2.0 million was owed, which is in total, convertible into 28,694,405 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible preferred shares were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2015 because of their anti-dilutive impact as a result of the Company’s net loss position.  Shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debt and the Centrex earnout payment obligation were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 because of their anti-dilutive impact as a result of the Company’s net loss position.

First Lien Credit Agreement

On February 19, 2014, the Company and BMO Harris Bank N.A. (“BMO”) entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Original BMO Credit Agreement” or, as subsequently amended, the “BMO Credit Agreement”),  which provided the Company a $27.0 million revolving credit facility, including a $3.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The proceeds of the Company’s initial borrowing under the BMO Credit Agreement were used to repay the Company’s prior credit facility, finance the acquisition of FTW Holdings, Inc., and pay certain fees and expenses related to the negotiation and consummation of the Original BMO Credit Agreement. All extensions of credit under the BMO Credit Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in and lien upon substantially all present and future assets and properties of the Company.
 
10

On April 7, 2015, the Company, Continental Commercial Products, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, 2155735 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation, CCP Canada Inc., an Ontario corporation, FTW Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Fort Wayne Plastics, Inc., an Indiana corporation, wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company (the foregoing, including the Company, the “Borrowers”), and BMO, as lender entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Original BMO Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) to amend the Original BMO Credit Agreement and to obtain the consent of BMO for the acquisition of a manufacturing facility in Tiffin, Ohio.

Pursuant to Amendment No. 1, the revolving credit facility under the Original BMO Credit Agreement was increased from an amount not to exceed $27.0 million to an amount not to exceed $33.0 million.  The revolving credit facility under the BMO Credit Agreement continues to include a $3.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The proceeds advanced under the BMO Credit Agreement on April 7, 2015 were used to pay certain fees and expenses related to the negotiation and consummation of Amendment No. 1 and the acquisition of our Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility (as described in Note 10). Subject to the terms of an  Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, dated as of April 7, 2015 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), between BMO and the SL Agent (as defined below), all extensions of credit under the BMO Credit Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in and lien upon substantially all present and future assets and properties of the Borrowers.

The Original BMO Credit Agreement was further amended pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to extend the maturity date of the credit facility from February 17, 2017 to April 7, 2018.  The borrowing base continues to be determined by eligible inventory, accounts receivable, machinery and equipment and owned real estate amounting to $20.4 million at September 30, 2016 and $27.3 million at December 31, 2015, respectively. The borrowing base under the BMO Credit Agreement is reduced by the outstanding amount of standby and commercial letters of credit. Currently, the Company’s largest letters of credit relate to its casualty insurance programs. Total outstanding letters of credit were $1.6 million and $1.1 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement continue to bear interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the Borrower’s option, (a) the Base Rate plus applicable Base Rate Margin, which varies from 0.50% to 1.00% based on average excess availability, or (b) reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin, which varies from 1.50% to 2.00% based on average excess availability. The Base Rate is the greatest of (i) BMO Harris’ prime commercial rate as in effect on such day, (ii) the sum of the Fed Funds rate for such day plus 0.5%, and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate for one month plus 1.50%. The Eurodollar Rate is the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate, as published by Reuters (or other commercially available source) with a term equivalent to the applicable one, two, three or nine month interest period. An unused commitment fee of 25 basis points per annum is payable quarterly on the average unused amount under the BMO Credit Agreement.

Amendment No. 1 amended the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio under the Original BMO Credit Agreement and added a maximum annual capital expenditures, minimum consolidated EBITDA, minimum availability and a leverage ratio covenant.  Amendment No. 1 also amended the Original BMO Credit Agreement to permit the secured second lien credit facility described below.

On December 15, 2015, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit and Security Agreement to amend the BMO Credit Agreement to redefine the definition of EBITDA to exclude certain non-recurring expenses associated with the Company’s former Bridgeton, Missouri facility.

On March 30, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit and Security Agreement and Waiver (“Amendment No. 3”) to amend the BMO Credit Agreement to provide the Borrowers with additional flexibility under certain financial covenants in future periods ending in 2016 and waive certain covenant defaults for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Further, Amendment No. 3 replaces the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio covenant for the test period for the fiscal quarters ending on or closest to March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016 and provides for monthly testing of the minimum consolidated EBITDA and leverage ratio financial covenants for the monthly period ending on or closest to the last day of each month from March 2016 through September 2016 in lieu of quarterly testing during such period.

Amendment No. 3 provides that a termination fee shall be payable in the event that the revolving credit commitment under the BMO Credit Agreement is terminated prior to the revolving credit maturity date.  The termination fee is equal to 2% of the revolving credit commitment of $33.0 million if the revolving credit commitment is terminated on or before the first anniversary of Amendment No. 3 or 1% if the revolving credit commitment is thereafter terminated prior to the revolving credit maturity date under the BMO Credit Agreement.
 
11

The BMO Credit Agreement continues to require a lockbox agreement which provides receipts (subject to certain exceptions) to be swept daily to reduce borrowings outstanding. This provision in the BMO Credit Agreement causes the BMO Credit Agreement to be classified as a current liability, per guidance in the Accounting Standards Codification established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.  The BMO Credit Agreement does not expire or have a maturity date within one year, but rather has a final maturity date of April 7, 2018.

On August 11, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 and Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”), further amending the BMO Credit Agreement.  Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, BMO agreed, among other things, to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the BMO Credit Agreement in respect of existing defaults and certain other anticipated defaults for a period of up to nine months (the “forbearance period”).  BMO may terminate the forbearance period (i) if VPC SBIC I, LP (the “VPC SBIC Fund”) or its affiliates assign or grant a participation in any portion of the term notes or Second Lien Credit Facility (as discussed below), (ii) upon a bankruptcy filing or commencement of another insolvency proceeding by or against any Borrower or guarantor or (iii) the occurrence of any additional event of default under the BMO Credit Agreement.  Borrowings from BMO under the Forbearance Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to 6.5%.

As part of the Forbearance Agreement, the Company has retained a chief restructuring officer (the “CRO”) for the duration of the forbearance period. The Company has authorized the CRO to meet with BMO and its advisors and provide to BMO such information and reports with respect to the Company and its financial condition, businesses, assets, liabilities and prospects, as BMO may request from time to time. 

At all times during the forbearance period, the Company is required to diligently pursue in good faith the consummation of the refinancing of the obligations to BMO under the BMO Credit Agreement in their entirety by February 5, 2017.  The Company agreed to pay BMO the following fees in the event that all borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement have not been paid in full on or before the following dates.

Under the Forbearance Agreement, the Centrex earnout payments (see Note 10) may not be satisfied until the obligations to BMO under the BMO Credit Agreement are paid in full. In addition, the Company may not make any cash payments in respect of indebtedness under the Second Lien Credit Facility or any other subordinated indebtedness consisting of principal or interest, until all borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement have been paid in full.

On November 16, 2016, all outstanding borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement were repaid with proceeds of the Encina Credit Agreement (as described in Note 13) and the BMO Credit Agreement was terminated.

Second Lien Credit Facility

On April 7, 2015, the Company, Continental Commercial Products, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, FTW Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Fort Wayne Plastics, Inc., an Indiana corporation, as borrowers (the “SL Borrowers”) and 2155735 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation, and CCP Canada Inc., an Ontario corporation, as guarantors (the “Guarantors,” together with the SL Borrowers, the “SL Obligors”) entered into a Second Lien Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of April 7, 2015, among the SL Obligors, Victory Park Management, LLC, as Agent (the “SL Agent” or “Victory Park Management”), and the lenders party thereto (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”).

The Second Lien Credit Agreement provides the SL Borrowers with a $24.0 million term loan.  The proceeds of the term loan were used to pay certain fees and expenses related to the negotiation and consummation of the credit facility and the acquisition of our Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility (see Note 10). Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all extensions of credit under the Second Lien Credit Agreement are collateralized by a second priority security interest in and lien upon substantially all present and future assets and properties of the SL Obligors.
 
12

The term loan under the Second Lien Credit Agreement originally bore interest (i) at a cash interest rate of the LIBOR (One Month) Rate then in effect plus 9.5% per annum and (ii) a Payment in Kind (“PIK”) interest rate equal to 4.00% per annum. The PIK interest is added to long-term debt per the Second Lien Credit Agreement as it is not due until maturity.  The interest rate was modified pursuant to the Fourth Amendment to the Second Lien Credit and Security Agreement, as described below.  The maturity date of the credit facility under the Second Lien Credit Agreement is April 6, 2019.

Pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the SL Borrowers are required to make quarterly amortization payments and annual excess cash flow prepayments equal to 25% of annual excess cash flow as defined in the agreement.  The Second Lien Credit Agreement includes the following financial covenants: a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum annual capital expenditures, a minimum consolidated EBITDA, a minimum availability under the BMO Credit Agreement and a leverage ratio.

On December 15, 2015, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Second Lien Credit Agreement to amend the Second Lien Credit Agreement to redefine the definition of EBITDA to exclude certain non-recurring expenses associated with the Company’s former Bridgeton, Missouri facility.

On March 30, 2016, the SL Obligors entered into a Limited Waiver and Amendment to the Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Amendment No. 2”) to further amend the Second Lien Credit Agreement. The Second Lien Amendment No. 2 provides the SL Borrowers with additional flexibility under certain financial covenants in future periods ending in 2016 and waives certain covenant defaults for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Further, the Second Lien Amendment No. 2 replaces the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio covenant for the test period for the fiscal quarters ending on or closest to March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016 and provides for monthly testing of the minimum consolidated EBITDA and leverage ratio financial covenants for the monthly period ending on or closest to the last day of each month from March 2016 through September 2016 in lieu of quarterly testing during such period.

On July 22, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), pursuant to which the SL Agent extended an additional $750,000 term loan to the Company. The Third Amendment did not materially modify the terms of the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

On August 11, 2016, Victory Park Capital Advisors, LLC (“Victory Park Capital Advisors”) on behalf of entities for which it acts as investment manager, agreed to provide the Company with new senior secured second lien financing in the amount of $5,750,000 (the “New Second Lien Financing”).  In connection with the New Second Lien Financing the Company, the SL Borrowers, Victory Park Management, as agent, and the lenders party thereto, entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Second Lien Credit and Security Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), to further amend the Second Lien Credit Agreement (as previously amended, the “Prior Second Lien Credit Agreement” and as amended by the Fourth Amendment, the “Second Lien Credit Facility”).

Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the lenders agreed to a further extension of credit in the amount of $5,750,000. The Fourth Amendment also provides Victory Park Management the option to convert, in whole or in part, the outstanding principal amount of, and accrued but unpaid interest on, the then-existing term loans (the “Term Loans”) made pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Facility (not including the new term loans made pursuant to the Third Amendment and Fourth Amendment) into a number of shares of common stock equal to the amount of outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the Term Loans being converted, divided by approximately $0.0697 (as such amount is proportionately adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends and other distributions and recapitalizations affecting the capital stock of the Company).  As of August 11, 2016, the Term Loans would have been convertible into up to 370,748,441 shares of common stock.  The funds for the extension of credit contemplated by the Fourth Amendment were provided by the lenders party to the Second Lien Credit Agreement, including the VPC SBIC Fund.  Any shares issued upon conversion of the Term Loans are required to be issued to the lenders party to the Second Lien Credit Facility pro rata in accordance with their respective commitments under the Term Loans.

The number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Term Loans exceeds the number of unissued and unreserved shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue, and the conversion price per share is less than the current par value per share of the common stock.  The SPA provides that, upon request of the VPC SBIC Fund, the Company will take all corporate action necessary, and use reasonable best efforts, (i) to increase the number of shares that the Company is authorized to issue and to reserve a sufficient number of shares to allow Victory Park Management to exercise its conversion rights under the Second Lien Credit Facility in full; and (ii) to decrease the par value per share of common stock to nothing or to a par value equal to, or less than, the per share conversion price under the Second Lien Credit Facility.
 
13

Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, all borrowings under the Second Lien Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to 12.00% per annum, payable in kind (“PIK”). The PIK interest is added to long-term debt per the Second Lien Credit Agreement as it is not due until maturity.  The maturity date of the Term Loans remains April 6, 2019. The maturity date of the new term loans made pursuant to the Third Amendment and the Fourth Amendment is August 11, 2017; however, the term will be automatically extended by one year as of August 11, 2017, unless notice of cancellation is provided by Victory Park Management prior to such date.

In connection with the Fourth Amendment, Centrex, TR Plastics and Terrence L. Reinhart (the “Seller”) agreed that any earnout payment in connection with the acquisition described in Note 10 would be subordinated to payment in full of borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Facility.  In addition, the Seller agreed that, to the extent that Victory Park Management exercises its right to convert all of the Term Loans into common stock, the value of the earnout payment would be calculated as of the date of such conversion and would be satisfied in full by payment in shares of common stock based upon the relative value of the earnout payment and the value of the Term Loans being converted (see Note 10). The Company recorded a deferred obligation equal to the present value of the earnout payments of $2.0 million, which was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2016.
 
On November 16, 2016, the Second Lien Credit Facility was further amended as described in Note 13.
 
Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company had amortization of debt issuance costs, included within interest expense, of $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2015, the Company had amortization of debt issuance costs, included within interest expense, of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Capital Lease

In February 2016, the Company entered into a capital lease agreement to acquire certain manufacturing equipment. The Company is obligated to make sixty monthly payments of $8,818. At the inception of the lease, the Company recorded an asset and a capital lease obligation equal to the present value of minimum lease payments equal to approximately $0.5 million. At September 30, 2016, the current and long term capital lease obligation of $0.1 million and $0.3 million were recorded in accrued expenses and other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Aggregate remaining scheduled maturities of the capital lease obligation as of September 30, 2016 are as follows (amounts in thousands):

RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

Certain subsidiaries have frozen pension plans covering substantially all of their employees.  These plans are noncontributory, defined benefit pension plans.  The benefits to be paid under these plans are generally based on employees’ retirement age and years of service.  The Company’s funding policies, subject to the minimum funding requirements of employee benefit and tax laws and as determined on an actuarial basis, provide the plans with assets sufficient to meet the benefit obligations.  Plan assets consist primarily of fixed income investments, corporate equities and government securities.  The Company also provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for some of its retired employees.  The postretirement health plans are unfunded.

 During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company made contributions of $46,000 to the pension plans. The Company expects to contribute an additional $15,000 to pension plans throughout the remainder of 2016.  The Company uses a December 31 measurement date for its pension and other postretirement benefit plans.  The fair value of plan assets was determined by inputs to the valuation which include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs). The Company utilized a third-party to evaluate the fair value of the plan assets and reviews all applicable inputs and calculations for purposes of valuing the plan’s assets.
 
Note 6.
STOCK INCENTIVE PLANS

The Company has various stock incentive plans that provide for the granting of stock options, nonqualified stock options, SARs, restricted stock, performance units or shares and other incentive awards to certain employees and directors.   SARs entitle the holder to receive cash, upon vesting, equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of exercise over the fair market value of such share on the date granted. SARs have been granted at or above the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant, typically vest over periods up to three years, and expire ten years from the date of issue.  No more than 50% of the cumulative number of vested SARs held by an employee can be exercised in any one calendar year.

As of September 30, 2016 there were 39,000 outstanding SARs. No SARS were issued for the three months ended September 30, 2016. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, 6,000 SARs were issued. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the aggregate liability related to SARs was $21,000 and $32,000, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 
Note 7.
INCOME TAXES

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company and its subsidiaries are generally no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local examinations by tax authorities for years before 2012.

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, of $83.2 million subject to a valuation allowance of $83.4 million.  As of December 31, 2015, the Company had deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, of $80.1 million subject to a valuation allowance of $80.2 million.   Domestic net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards comprised $67.5 million and $64.4 million of the deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.  Katy’s history of operating losses in many of its taxing jurisdictions provides significant negative evidence with respect to the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income.  The valuation allowance relates to federal, state and foreign net operating loss carry-forwards, foreign and domestic tax credits, and certain other deferred tax assets to the extent they exceed deferred tax liabilities.

On August 11, 2016, the VPC SBIC Fund acquired shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock representing 70.3% of the Company’s outstanding common stock on an as-converted basis (see Note 12).  As a result, the Company’s ability to utilize net operating losses and other tax attributes is subject to a limitation imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

For each of the three and nine months ended September 25, 2015, Kohlberg & Company, L.L.C. (the “Kohlberg Manager”), whose affiliate held all 1,131,551 shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock and provided management oversight and advisory services to the Company until August 11, 2016.  On August 11, 2016, the Kohlberg Manager’s ongoing management oversight and advisory services were terminated upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the SPA (as defined in Note 12), and all amounts owed to the Kohlberg Manager (other than limited indemnification rights) were waived in connection with the mutual release described in Note 12.

At December 31, 2015, the Company owed the Kohlberg Manager $3.8 million for management oversight and advisory services, which is recorded in noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Prior to the termination of the Kohlberg Manager’s management oversight and advisory services on August 11, 2016, the Company incurred an annual expense of $0.5 million in respect of these services. On August 11, 2016, the Kohlberg Manager agreed to waive payment of these management fees (which totaled $4.0 million) as part of the mutual release agreement (see Note 12).  The Company capitalized the waiver of the related party payable of $4.0 million, which is recorded in additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2016. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, $38,000 and $288,000, respectively, is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for these services. For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2015, $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss for these services.

In February 2014, loans of $0.1 million each were received from two individuals who were then serving as directors of the Company, and a loan of $0.2 million was received from the Kohlberg Manager. In connection with these loans, the Company entered into subordinated promissory notes with these individuals and the Kohlberg Manager, respectively. These notes were used to finance the acquisition of FTW Holdings, Inc. and were amended in the year ended December 31, 2015 to mature on December 31, 2019. The notes accrue interest at a rate of 15% per year, which will be paid by capitalizing such interest and adding such capitalized interest to the principal amount of the subordinated notes.

As part of the August 11, 2016 mutual release agreement, the Kohlberg Manager agreed to release the Company from repaying the promissory notes due to the Kohlberg Manager. The Company capitalized $0.2 million for funds previously received and $0.1 million for the waived PIK interest to additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2016.  The PIK interest attributable to these notes was $59,000 as of December 31, 2015. The promissory notes totaling $0.2 million from the two former directors of the Company (who resigned in August 2016 in connection with the transactions described in Note 12) remain outstanding as of September 30, 2016. The PIK interest attributable to these notes was $0.1 million as of September 30, 2016 and $59,000 as of December 31, 2015. The loans and PIK interest are recorded in noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2016.

The Company owes $0.2 million to Victory Park Capital Advisors as of September 30, 2016 for financing costs associated with the Second Lien Credit Facility. The payable is recorded in accrued expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2016.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General Environmental Claims

The Company and certain of its current and former direct and indirect corporate predecessors, subsidiaries and divisions are involved in remedial activities at certain present and former locations and have been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), state environmental agencies and private parties as potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”) at a number of hazardous waste disposal sites under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“Superfund”) or equivalent state laws and, as such, may be liable for the cost of cleanup and other remedial activities at these sites.  Responsibility for cleanup and other remedial activities at a Superfund site is typically shared among PRPs based on an allocation formula.  Under the federal Superfund statute, parties could be held jointly and severally liable, thus subjecting them to potential individual liability for the entire cost of cleanup at the site.  Based on its estimate of allocation of liability among PRPs, the probability that other PRPs, many of whom are large, solvent, public companies, will fully pay the costs apportioned to them, currently available information concerning the scope of contamination, estimated remediation costs, estimated legal fees and other factors, the Company has recorded and accrued for environmental liabilities in amounts that it deems reasonable and believes that any liability with respect to these matters in excess of the accruals will not be material.  The ultimate costs will depend on a number of factors and the amount currently accrued represents management’s best current estimate on an undiscounted basis of the total costs to be incurred.  The Company expects this amount to be substantially paid over the next five to ten years.
 
16

Other Claims

There are a number of product liability, asbestos and workers’ compensation claims pending against the Company and its subsidiaries.  Many of these claims are proceeding through the litigation process and the final outcome will not be known until a settlement is reached with the claimant or the case is adjudicated.  The Company estimates that it can take up to ten years from the date of the injury to reach a final outcome on certain claims.  With respect to the product liability, asbestos and workers’ compensation claims, the Company has provided for its share of expected losses beyond the applicable insurance coverage, including those incurred but not reported to the Company or its insurance providers, which are developed using actuarial techniques. Such accruals are developed using currently available claim information, and represent management’s best estimates, including estimated legal fees, on an undiscounted basis.  The ultimate cost of any individual claim can vary based upon, among other factors, the nature of the injury, the duration of the disability period, the length of the claim period, the jurisdiction of the claim and the nature of the final outcome.

Although management believes that the actions specified above in this section individually and in the aggregate are not likely to have outcomes that will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow, further costs could be significant and will be recorded as a charge to operations when, and if, current information dictates a change in management’s estimates.

Note 10.
BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS

On April 7, 2015, Continental Commercial Products (“CCP”), a Delaware limited liability company, and a wholly owned subsidiary the Company, completed the acquisition of substantially all of the  assets and business operations related to the plastics shelving and cabinet business of Centrex Plastics, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“Centrex”) and T.R. Plastics, LLC, an Ohio limited liability company (“TR Plastics”) for $23.9 million in cash at closing, plus certain post-closing earnout payments of not less than $2.0 million over three years, as described in the Asset Purchase Agreement dated April 7, 2015 (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between CCP, Centrex, TR Plastics, and Terrence L. Reinhart, the majority member of Centrex and the sole member of TR Plastics. On August 11, 2016, additional terms regarding the earnout payments were agreed upon in the Fourth Amendment to the Second Lien Credit and Security Agreement (see Note 4).  The acquisition of the Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility brings a breadth of shelving and storage cabinet solutions to the Katy consumer storage product line which we believe are highly complementary to our current products.

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2015 do not include any revenues or expenses related to the acquisition prior to the closing date. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented as if the Tiffin, Ohio acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the period presented. In addition, this unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of the historical results that would have been obtained if the acquisition had actually occurred during those periods, or the results that may be obtained in the future as a result of the acquisition.

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

On August 11, 2016, the Company, KKTY Holding Company, L.L.C. (“KKTY Holding”), the Kohlberg Manager, certain funds affiliated with the Kohlberg Manager (the “Kohlberg Funds” and, together with the Kohlberg Manager, “Kohlberg”) and the VPC SBIC Fund entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “SPA”) whereby KKTY Holding sold all of its 1,131,551 shares of convertible preferred stock of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”), to the VPC SBIC Fund, in exchange for nominal cash consideration and the execution of a mutual release (the “Acquisition”).  The Preferred Stock is convertible into an aggregate of 18,859,183 shares of the Company’s common stock, which, if converted in full, would represent 70.3% of our outstanding common stock (after giving effect to such conversion).  The closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”) took place concurrently with the execution of the SPA.

Pursuant to the mutual release, and as a condition to Victory Park Capital Advisors’ willingness to provide the New Second Lien Financing (as discussed in Note 4), Kohlberg agreed to release the Company, Victory Park Capital Advisors, the VPC SBIC Fund and Victory Park Management from potential claims, other than potential claims for indemnification under the management agreement, dated June 28, 2001, between the Company and the Kohlberg Manager (the “Management Agreement”).  In accordance with the SPA, such Management Agreement, together with any other similar advisory agreements between any of KKTY Holding, the Kohlberg Manager, the Kohlberg Funds and the Company, were terminated as of August 11, 2016.  In addition, Victory Park Capital Advisors, Victory Park Management and the VPC SBIC Fund, on behalf of themselves and certain of their affiliates, agreed to release Kohlberg and the current and former officers and directors of the Company from claims and potential claims, other than those arising under the SPA.  In accordance with the SPA, the Company also provided a general release in favor of Kohlberg, certain of its affiliates and members of the Board appointed by Kohlberg.

In connection with the Closing, and pursuant to the SPA, Charles Asfour, a partner of Victory Park Capital Advisors, the VPC SBIC Fund’s investment manager, was appointed as a director of the Company and all of the then-serving directors of the Company, other than its Chief Executive Officer, resigned as of the Closing.  On August 30, 2016, Mr. Asfour was appointed as Chairman of the Board.  Two additional directors designated by the VPC SBIC Fund were appointed to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) effective as of September 12, 2016.  The Company has also agreed, in connection with any annual or special meeting of its stockholders at which directors are to be elected, to take all reasonably necessary action within its control and use its reasonable best efforts to cause an individual designated by the VPC SBIC Fund to be nominated for election (or re-election, as the case may be) to the Board, to recommend that such individual be elected to the Board, and to solicit proxies on behalf of such director nominee.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On November 16, 2016, the Company, Continental Commercial Products, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, 2155735 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation, CCP Canada Inc., an Ontario corporation, FTW Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Fort Wayne Plastics, Inc., an Indiana corporation, wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company (the foregoing, including the Company, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Credit and Security Agreement with Encina Business Credit SPV, LLC, as agent and swing line lender, and the lenders party thereto (the “Encina Credit Agreement”).  The Encina Credit Agreement provides the Borrowers with a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million, including a $2.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit and a $2.5 million sub-limit for swing line loans, a term loan in the principal amount of $3.5 million (“Term Loan A”) and a term loan in the principal amount of $3.1 million (“Term Loan B”).
 
The proceeds of the initial borrowings under the Encina Credit Agreement, which totaled $19.9 million (including Term Loan A and Term Loan B), were used to repay all the outstanding borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement (which was then terminated) and to pay certain fees and expenses related to the negotiation and consummation of the Encina Credit Agreement and the termination of the BMO Credit Agreement.  All extensions of credit under the Encina Credit Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in and lien upon substantially all present and future assets and properties of the Borrowers.

Borrowings under the revolving portion of the Encina Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to 5.25% per annum plus the greater of the LIBOR (One Month) Rate and 0.5%.  Term Loan A bears interest at a rate equal to 5.75% per annum plus the greater of the LIBOR (One Month) Rate and 0.5%, and Term Loan B bears interest at a rate equal to 6% per annum plus the greater of the LIBOR (One Month) Rate and 0.5%.  The maturity date of the borrowings under the Encina Credit Agreement is November 16, 2019.  The Borrowers are required to make monthly amortization payments in respect of Term Loan A and Term Loan B commencing in November 2017.
 
The Encina Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and restrictions, including, among other things, restrictions on the ability of the Borrowers to create or permit liens on assets, make certain investments and make certain acquisitions or dispositions.  Under the Encina Credit Agreement, the Centrex earnout payments (see Note 10) may not be satisfied until all obligations under the Encina Credit Agreement are paid in full, except that the Centrex earnout payments may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock as described in Note 4. In addition, payments in respect of indebtedness under the Second Lien Credit Facility are restricted pursuant to the terms of an intercreditor agreement with the SL Agent, except for certain payments out of excess cash flow as described more fully below.
 
Upon termination of the BMO Credit Agreement, an early termination fee of $0.3 million was paid by the Company and an additional termination fee of $0.4 million is payable by the Company in equal installments over 12 months following the termination date.

In connection with the Encina Credit Agreement, the SL Obligors, Victory Park Management (as SL Agent) and the VPC SBIC Fund (as lender) entered into the Fifth Amendment to Second Lien Credit and Security Agreement and Limited Waiver (the “Fifth Amendment”) on November 16, 2016 to further amend the Second Lien Credit Facility.  The Fifth Amendment was primarily designed to conform certain representations, warranties and covenants in the Second Lien Credit Facility to the Encina Credit Agreement and further to (i) extend the maturity date of the obligations under the Second Lien Credit Facility to the date that is three months after the maturity of the obligations to the lenders under the Encina Credit Agreement, (ii) provide for the SL Borrowers to pay the lender under the Second Lien Credit Facility, if permitted under the intercreditor agreement with the SL Agent, up to 75% of excess cash flow so long as no default or event of default has occurred or is continuing under the Encina Credit Agreement and certain other financial conditions are satisfied, and (iii) suspend compliance with all existing financial covenants in the Second Lien Credit Facility (except for the limit on annual consolidated capital expenditures of $4.0 million) until the earlier of maturity or payment in full of the obligations under the Encina Credit Agreement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Versus Three Months Ended September 25, 2015

Net sales decreased 22.8% from $31.0 million during the three months ended September 25, 2015 to $24.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016.  The decrease in net sales was primarily the result of manufacturing inefficiencies at our Jefferson City, Missouri facility as the result of the relocation from our Bridgeton, Missouri facility, and manufacturing inefficiencies at our Tiffin, Ohio facility. The manufacturing inefficiencies resulted in an increase in a backlog of orders totaling $1.8 million during the current year period compared to the prior year period. Gross margin was 2.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of 1,260 basis points from the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily a result of operational and freight inefficiencies at our Jefferson City, Missouri and Tiffin, Ohio facilities and unfavorable product mix. The Company expects to realize favorable mix from its order backlog.  As a result of the decrease in sales and a decrease in gross margin, our gross profit decreased $4.1 million from $4.8 million to $0.7 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million to $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 from $3.5 million for the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to an increase in consulting services, insurance, and other fees related to the transactions surrounding the purchase of shares of our convertible preferred stock by VPC SBIC I, LP (the “VPC SBIC Fund”) and the related debt issuance in the current year period.

Severance, restructuring and related charges were $1.8 million for the three months ended September 25, 2015 due to the relocation of our Bridgeton, Missouri facility to Jefferson City, Missouri.

Operating loss was $3.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016, compared to an operating loss of $0.5 million during the three months ended September 25, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to decreased gross profit and increased selling, general and administrative expenses during the current year period compared to the prior year period, each as described above.

Interest expense increased by $0.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the three months ended September 25, 2015 due to increased borrowings under the Second Lien Credit Agreement and additional interest under the BMO Credit Agreement.

Overall, we reported a net loss of $5.4 million, or $0.68 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to a net loss of $1.6 million, or $0.20 per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended September 25, 2015.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Versus Nine Months Ended September 25, 2015

Net sales decreased 1.4% from $83.7 million during the nine months ended September 25, 2015 to $82.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.  The decrease was primarily the result of an inability to meet orders due to manufacturing inefficiencies resulting from the relocation of our Bridgeton, Missouri facility to Jefferson City, Missouri, partially offset by the Tiffin, Ohio business acquisition, which contributed $18.5 million in net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 versus net sales of $11.7 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2015. Gross margin was 10.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of 520 basis points from the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily a result of operational and freight inefficiencies associated with the relocation of our Bridgeton, Missouri facility to Jefferson City, Missouri. The decreased in sales and decrease in gross margin resulted in a decrease in gross profit of $4.5 million from $13.2 million to $8.7 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million to $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 from $11.1 million for the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to the derecognition of a deferred lease obligation no longer owed as a result of our termination of the lease for our Bridgeton, Missouri facility during the nine months ended September 25, 2015. The increase was also attributed to an increase in consulting services, insurance, and other fees related to the transactions surrounding the purchase of shares of our convertible preferred stock by the VPC SBIC Fund and the related debt issuance in the current year period. The increase was partially offset by one-time acquisition costs related to the Tiffin, Ohio in the prior year.
 
21

Severance, restructuring and related charges decreased $3.1 million to $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2015. These charges for both periods resulted from the relocation of our Bridgeton, Missouri facility to Jefferson City, Missouri.

Operating loss was $4.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to an operating loss of $1.9 million during the nine months ended September 25, 2015. The increase in operating loss was primarily due to decreased gross profit and increased selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by to the decrease in severance, restructuring and related charges in the current year period compared to the prior year period, each as described above.

Interest expense increased by $1.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to the nine months ended September 25, 2015, primarily as a result of the increased borrowings under the Second Lien Credit Agreement (see Note 4) which was entered into in the second quarter of 2015.

Overall, we reported a net loss of $8.7 million, or $1.09 per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to a net loss of $4.4 million, or $0.56 per basic and diluted share, for the nine months ended September 25, 2015.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We require funding for working capital needs and capital expenditures.  As of September 30, 2016, we had cash of $0.3 million and outstanding checks of $0.4 million as compared to cash of $0.1 million and outstanding checks of $0.9 million at December 31, 2015.  Our unused borrowing availability at September 30, 2016 under the BMO Credit Agreement was $0.1 million.  As of December 31, 2015, we had unused borrowing availability of $2.2 million.

First Lien Credit Agreement

On February 19, 2014, the Company and BMO Harris Bank N.A. (“BMO”) entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Original BMO Credit Agreement or, as subsequently amended, the “BMO Credit Agreement”),  which provided the Company a $27.0 million revolving credit facility, including a $3.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The proceeds of the Company’s initial borrowing under the BMO Credit Agreement were used to repay the Company’s prior credit facility, finance the acquisition of FTW Holdings, Inc., and pay certain fees and expenses related to the negotiation and consummation of the Original BMO Credit Agreement. All extensions of credit under the BMO Credit Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in and lien upon substantially all present and future assets and properties of the Company.

On April 7, 2015, the Company, Continental Commercial Products, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, 2155735 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation, CCP Canada Inc., an Ontario corporation, FTW Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Fort Wayne Plastics, Inc., an Indiana corporation, wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of the Company (the foregoing, including the Company, the “Borrowers”), and BMO, as lender entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Original BMO Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) to amend the Original BMO Credit Agreement and to obtain the consent of BMO for the acquisition of a manufacturing facility in Tiffin, Ohio.

Pursuant to Amendment No. 1, the revolving credit facility under the Original BMO Credit Agreement was increased from an amount not to exceed $27.0 million to an amount not to exceed $33.0 million.  The revolving credit facility under the BMO Credit Agreement continues to include a $3.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The proceeds advanced under the BMO Credit Agreement on April 7, 2015 were used to pay certain fees and expenses related to the negotiation and consummation of Amendment No. 1 and the acquisition of our Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility (as described in Note 10). Subject to the terms of an  Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement, dated as of April 7, 2015 (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), between BMO and the SL Agent (as defined below), all extensions of credit under the BMO Credit Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in and lien upon substantially all present and future assets and properties of the Borrowers.

The Original BMO Credit Agreement was further amended pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to extend the maturity date of the credit facility from February 17, 2017 to April 7, 2018.  The borrowing base continues to be determined by eligible inventory, accounts receivable, machinery and equipment and owned real estate amounting to $20.4 million at September 30, 2016 and $27.3 million at December 31, 2015, respectively. The borrowing base under the BMO Credit Agreement is reduced by the outstanding amount of standby and commercial letters of credit. Currently, the Company’s largest letters of credit relate to its casualty insurance programs. Total outstanding letters of credit were $1.6 million and $1.1 million at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement continue to bear interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the Borrower’s option, (a) the Base Rate plus applicable Base Rate Margin, which varies from 0.50% to 1.00% based on average excess availability, or (b) reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the applicable Eurodollar Rate Margin, which varies from 1.50% to 2.00% based on average excess availability. The Base Rate is the greatest of (i) BMO Harris’ prime commercial rate as in effect on such day, (ii) the sum of the Fed Funds rate for such day plus 0.5%, and (iii) the Eurodollar Rate for one month plus 1.50%. The Eurodollar Rate is the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate, as published by Reuters (or other commercially available source) with a term equivalent to the applicable one, two, three or nine month interest period. An unused commitment fee of 25 basis points per annum is payable quarterly on the average unused amount under the BMO Credit Agreement.

Amendment No. 1 amended the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio under the Original BMO Credit Agreement and added a maximum annual capital expenditures, minimum consolidated EBITDA, minimum availability and a leverage ratio covenant.  Amendment No. 1 also amended the Original BMO Credit Agreement to permit the secured second lien credit facility described below.

On December 15, 2015, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit and Security Agreement to amend the BMO Credit Agreement to redefine the definition of EBITDA to exclude certain non-recurring expenses associated with the Company’s former Bridgeton, Missouri facility.

On March 30, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit and Security Agreement and Waiver (“Amendment No. 3”) to amend the BMO Credit Agreement to provide the Borrowers with additional flexibility under certain financial covenants in future periods ending in 2016 and waive certain covenant defaults for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Further, Amendment No. 3 replaces the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio covenant for the test period for the fiscal quarters ending on or closest to March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016 and provides for monthly testing of the minimum consolidated EBITDA and leverage ratio financial covenants for the monthly period ending on or closest to the last day of each month from March 2016 through September 2016 in lieu of quarterly testing during such period.

Amendment No. 3 provides that a termination fee shall be payable in the event that the revolving credit commitment under the BMO Credit Agreement is terminated prior to the revolving credit maturity date.  The termination fee is equal to 2% of the revolving credit commitment of $33.0 million if the revolving credit commitment is terminated on or before the first anniversary of Amendment No. 3 or 1% if the revolving credit commitment is thereafter terminated prior to the revolving credit maturity date under the BMO Credit Agreement.

The BMO Credit Agreement continues to require a lockbox agreement which provides receipts (subject to certain exceptions) to be swept daily to reduce borrowings outstanding. This provision in the BMO Credit Agreement causes the BMO Credit Agreement to be classified as a current liability, per guidance in the Accounting Standards Codification established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.  The BMO Credit Agreement does not expire or have a maturity date within one year, but rather has a final maturity date of April 7, 2018.

On August 11, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 and Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”), further amending the BMO Credit Agreement.  Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, BMO agreed, among other things, to forbear from exercising its rights and remedies under the BMO Credit Agreement in respect of existing defaults and certain other anticipated defaults for a period of up to nine months (the “forbearance period”).  BMO may terminate the forbearance period (i) if VPC SBIC I, LP (the “VPC SBIC Fund”) or its affiliates assign or grant a participation in any portion of the term notes or Second Lien Credit Facility (as discussed below), (ii) upon a bankruptcy filing or commencement of another insolvency proceeding by or against any Borrower or guarantor or (iii) the occurrence of any additional event of default under the BMO Credit Agreement.  Borrowings from BMO under the Forbearance Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to 6.5%.

As part of the Forbearance Agreement, the Company has retained a chief restructuring officer (the “CRO”) for the duration of the forbearance period. The Company has authorized the CRO to meet with BMO and its advisors and provide to BMO such information and reports with respect to the Company and its financial condition, businesses, assets, liabilities and prospects, as BMO may request from time to time. 

At all times during the forbearance period, the Company is required to diligently pursue in good faith the consummation of the refinancing of the obligations to BMO under the BMO Credit Agreement in their entirety by February 5, 2017.  The Company agreed to pay BMO the following fees in the event that all borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement have not been paid in full on or before the following dates.

Under the Forbearance Agreement, the Centrex earnout payments (see Note 10) may not be satisfied until the obligations to BMO under the BMO Credit Agreement are paid in full. In addition, the Company may not make any cash payments in respect of indebtedness under the Second Lien Credit Facility or any other subordinated indebtedness consisting of principal or interest, until all borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement have been paid in full.

On November 16, 2016, all outstanding borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement were repaid with proceeds of the Encina Credit Agreement (as described in Note 13) and the BMO Credit Agreement was terminated.

Second Lien Credit Facility

On April 7, 2015, the Company, Continental Commercial Products, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, FTW Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Fort Wayne Plastics, Inc., an Indiana corporation, as borrowers (the “SL Borrowers”) and 2155735 Ontario Inc., an Ontario corporation, and CCP Canada Inc., an Ontario corporation, as guarantors (the “Guarantors,” together with the SL Borrowers, the “SL Obligors”) entered into a Second Lien Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of April 7, 2015, among the SL Obligors, Victory Park Management, LLC, as Agent (the “SL Agent” or “Victory Park Management”), and the lenders party thereto (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”).

The Second Lien Credit Agreement provides the SL Borrowers with a $24.0 million term loan.  The proceeds of the term loan were used to pay certain fees and expenses related to the negotiation and consummation of the credit facility and the acquisition of our Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility (see Note 10). Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, all extensions of credit under the Second Lien Credit Agreement are collateralized by a second priority security interest in and lien upon substantially all present and future assets and properties of the SL Obligors.

The term loan under the Second Lien Credit Agreement originally bore interest (i) at a cash interest rate of the LIBOR (One Month) Rate then in effect plus 9.5% per annum and (ii) a Payment in Kind (“PIK”) interest rate equal to 4.00% per annum. The PIK interest is added to long-term debt per the Second Lien Credit Agreement as it is not due until maturity.  The interest rate was modified pursuant to the Fourth Amendment to the Second Lien Credit and Security Agreement, as described below.  The maturity date of the credit facility under the Second Lien Credit Agreement is April 6, 2019.

Pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the SL Borrowers are required to make quarterly amortization payments and annual excess cash flow prepayments equal to 25% of annual excess cash flow as defined in the agreement.  The Second Lien Credit Agreement includes the following financial covenants: a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, a maximum annual capital expenditures, a minimum consolidated EBITDA, a minimum availability under the BMO Credit Agreement and a leverage ratio.

On December 15, 2015, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Second Lien Credit Agreement to amend the Second Lien Credit Agreement to redefine the definition of EBITDA to exclude certain non-recurring expenses associated with the Company’s former Bridgeton, Missouri facility.

On March 30, 2016, the SL Obligors entered into a Limited Waiver and Amendment to the Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Second Lien Amendment No. 2”) to further amend the Second Lien Credit Agreement. The Second Lien Amendment No. 2 provides the SL Borrowers with additional flexibility under certain financial covenants in future periods ending in 2016 and waives certain covenant defaults for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. Further, the Second Lien Amendment No. 2 replaces the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio covenant for the test period for the fiscal quarters ending on or closest to March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016, September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016 and provides for monthly testing of the minimum consolidated EBITDA and leverage ratio financial covenants for the monthly period ending on or closest to the last day of each month from March 2016 through September 2016 in lieu of quarterly testing during such period.
 
24

On July 22, 2016, the Company entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Second Lien Credit Agreement (the “Third Amendment”), pursuant to which the SL Agent extended an additional $750,000 term loan to the Company. The Third Amendment did not materially modify the terms of the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

On August 11, 2016, Victory Park Capital Advisors, LLC (“Victory Park Capital Advisors”) on behalf of entities for which it acts as investment manager, agreed to provide the Company with new senior secured second lien financing in the amount of $5,750,000 (the “New Second Lien Financing”).  In connection with the New Second Lien Financing the Company, the SL Borrowers, Victory Park Management, as agent, and the lenders party thereto, entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Second Lien Credit and Security Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment”), to further amend the Second Lien Credit Agreement (as previously amended, the “Prior Second Lien Credit Agreement” and as amended by the Fourth Amendment, the “Second Lien Credit Facility”).

Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the lenders agreed to a further extension of credit in the amount of $5,750,000. The Fourth Amendment also provides Victory Park Management the option to convert, in whole or in part, the outstanding principal amount of, and accrued but unpaid interest on, the then-existing term loans (the “Term Loans”) made pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Facility (not including the new term loans made pursuant to the Third Amendment and Fourth Amendment) into a number of shares of common stock equal to the amount of outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the Term Loans being converted, divided by approximately $0.0697 (as such amount is proportionately adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock combinations, stock dividends and other distributions and recapitalizations affecting the capital stock of the Company).  As of August 11, 2016, the Term Loans would have been convertible into up to 370,748,441 shares of common stock.  The funds for the extension of credit contemplated by the Fourth Amendment were provided by the lenders party to the Second Lien Credit Agreement, including the VPC SBIC Fund.  Any shares issued upon conversion of the Term Loans are required to be issued to the lenders party to the Second Lien Credit Facility pro rata in accordance with their respective commitments under the Term Loans.

The number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Term Loans exceeds the number of unissued and unreserved shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue, and the conversion price per share is less than the current par value per share of the common stock.  The SPA provides that, upon request of the VPC SBIC Fund, the Company will take all corporate action necessary, and use reasonable best efforts, (i) to increase the number of shares that the Company is authorized to issue and to reserve a sufficient number of shares to allow Victory Park Management to exercise its conversion rights under the Second Lien Credit Facility in full; and (ii) to decrease the par value per share of common stock to nothing or to a par value equal to, or less than, the per share conversion price under the Second Lien Credit Facility.

Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, all borrowings under the Second Lien Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to 12.00% per annum, payable in kind (“PIK”). The PIK interest is added to long-term debt per the Second Lien Credit Agreement as it is not due until maturity.  The maturity date of the Term Loans remains April 6, 2019. The maturity date of the new term loans made pursuant to the Third Amendment and the Fourth Amendment is August 11, 2017; however, the term will be automatically extended by one year as of August 11, 2017, unless notice of cancellation is provided by Victory Park Management prior to such date.

In connection with the Fourth Amendment, Centrex, TR Plastics and Terrence L. Reinhart (the “Seller”) agreed that any earnout payment in connection with the acquisition described in Note 10 would be subordinated to payment in full of borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement and the Second Lien Credit Facility.  In addition, the Seller agreed that, to the extent that Victory Park Management exercises its right to convert all of the Term Loans into common stock, the value of the earnout payment would be calculated as of the date of such conversion and would be satisfied in full by payment in shares of common stock based upon the relative value of the earnout payment and the value of the Term Loans being converted (see Note 10). The Company recorded a deferred obligation equal to the present value of the earnout payments of $2.0 million, which was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2016.
 
On November 16, 2016, the Second Lien Credit Facility was further amended as described in Note 13.

Amortization of Debt Issuance Costs

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company had amortization of debt issuance costs, included within interest expense, of $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 25, 2015, the Company had amortization of debt issuance costs, included within interest expense, of $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Capital Lease

In February 2016, the Company entered into a capital lease agreement to acquire certain manufacturing equipment. The Company is obligated to make sixty monthly payments of $8,818. At the inception of the lease, the Company recorded an asset and a capital lease obligation equal to the present value of minimum lease payments equal to approximately $0.5 million. At September 30, 2016, the current and long term capital lease obligation of $0.1 million and $0.3 million were recorded in accrued expenses and other noncurrent liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Cash Flows

Cash used in operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities was $1.2 million in the nine months ended September 25, 2015 as compared to $5.0 million in the same nine months ended September 30, 2016. Changes in operating assets and liabilities from continuing operations provided $9.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to $1.9 million in the nine months ended September 25, 2015.

Cash used in investing activities of $2.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were primarily due to capital expenditures related to the relocation of the Bridgeton, Missouri facility to Jefferson City, Missouri. Cash used in investing activities of $26.0 million in the nine months ended September 25, 2015 were primarily due to the purchase of our Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility and capital expenditures related to the relocation of the Bridgeton, Missouri facility to Jefferson, City, Missouri.

Cash used in financing activities of $1.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were due to a reduction of $5.8 million in our bank borrowings and $2.1 million of debt issuance costs since December 31, 2015, partially offset by proceeds of $6.5 million from additional borrowings under the Second Lien Credit Facility.  Cash provided by financing activities of $25.6 million in the nine months ended September 25, 2015 were due to an increase of $25.7 million in our bank borrowings, net of debt issuance costs since December 31, 2014, primarily due to the Tiffin, Ohio manufacturing facility acquisition.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of September 30, 2016, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 5.    OTHER INFORMATION

On November 16, 2016, the Borrowers under the BMO Credit Agreement entered into a Credit and Security Agreement with Encina Business Credit SPV, LLC, as agent and swing line lender, and the lenders party thereto (the “Encina Credit Agreement”).  The Encina Credit Agreement provides the Borrowers with a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million, including a $2.5 million sub-limit for letters of credit and a $2.5 million sub-limit for swing line loans, a term loan in the principal amount of $3.5 million (“Term Loan A”) and a term loan in the principal amount of $3.1 million (“Term Loan B”).

The proceeds of the initial borrowings under the Encina Credit Agreement, which totaled $19.9 million (including Term Loan A and Term Loan B), were used to repay all the outstanding borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement (which was then terminated) and to pay certain fees and expenses related to the negotiation and consummation of the Encina Credit Agreement and the termination of the BMO Credit Agreement.  All extensions of credit under the Encina Credit Agreement are collateralized by a first priority security interest in and lien upon substantially all present and future assets and properties of the Borrowers.

Borrowings under the revolving portion of the Encina Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to 5.25% per annum plus the greater of the LIBOR (One Month) Rate and 0.5%.  Term Loan A bears interest at a rate equal to 5.75% per annum plus the greater of the LIBOR (One Month) Rate and 0.5%, and Term Loan B bears interest at a rate equal to 6% per annum plus the greater of the LIBOR (One Month) Rate and 0.5%.  The maturity date of the borrowings under the Encina Credit Agreement is November 16, 2019.  The Borrowers are required to make monthly amortization payments in respect of Term Loan A and Term Loan B commencing in November 2017.
 
The Encina Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default and restrictions, including, among other things, restrictions on the ability of the Borrowers to create or permit liens on assets, make certain investments and make certain acquisitions or dispositions.  Under the Encina Credit Agreement, the Centrex earnout payments (see Note 10) may not be satisfied until all obligations under the Encina Credit Agreement are paid in full, except that the Centrex earnout payments may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock as described in Note 4. In addition, payments in respect of indebtedness under the Second Lien Credit Facility are restricted pursuant to the terms of an intercreditor agreement with the SL Agent, except for certain payments out of excess cash flow as described more fully below.
 
Upon termination of the BMO Credit Agreement, an early termination fee of $0.3 million was paid by the Company and an additional termination fee of $0.4 million is payable by the Company in equal installments over 12 months following the termination date.

In connection with the Encina Credit Agreement, the SL Obligors, Victory Park Management (as SL Agent) and the VPC SBIC Fund (as lender) entered into the Fifth Amendment to Second Lien Credit and Security Agreement and Limited Waiver (the “Fifth Amendment”) on November 16, 2016 to further amend the Second Lien Credit Facility.  The Fifth Amendment was primarily designed to conform certain representations, warranties and covenants in the Second Lien Credit Facility to the Encina Credit Agreement and further to (i) extend the maturity date of the obligations under the Second Lien Credit Facility to the date that is three months after the maturity of the obligations to the lenders under the Encina Credit Agreement, (ii) provide for the SL Borrowers to pay the lender under the Second Lien Credit Facility, if permitted under the intercreditor agreement with the SL Agent, up to 75% of excess cash flow so long as no default or event of default has occurred or is continuing under the Encina Credit Agreement and certain other financial conditions are satisfied, and (iii) suspend compliance with all existing financial covenants in the Second Lien Credit Facility (except for the limit on annual consolidated capital expenditures of $4.0 million) until the earlier of maturity or payment in full of the obligations under the Encina Credit Agreement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Encina Credit Agreement and the Fifth Amendment do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of such documents, which are filed as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and are incorporated herein by reference.
