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 March 28, 2014 and the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 and Cash Flows for the three months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 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, 2013.  The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013 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 March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 consisted of 61 and 63 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.

Inventories – The components of inventories are as follows (amounts in thousands):

 
 
March 28,
   
December 31,
 
 
 
2014
   
2013

At March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately 79% and 80%, 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 $4.5 million and $4.4 million at March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
  
Share-Based Payment – Compensation cost recognized during the three months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 includes: a) compensation cost for all stock options based on the grant date fair value amortized over the options’ vesting period and b) compensation cost for outstanding stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) as of March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 based on the March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 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 (amounts in thousands):

The fair value of stock options are estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model.  As the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a basis for estimating the expected term, the Company uses the simplified method for estimating 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.  There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 28, 2014 or March 29, 2013.

The fair value of SARs, a liability award, was estimated at March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 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 was 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:

 
 
March 28,
2014
 
 
March 29,
2013
 
 
 
 
Expected term (years)
2.4 - 4.6
 
0.9 - 4.6
Volatility
320.2% - 374.3%
 
290.0% - 348.6%
Risk-free interest rate
0.7% - 1.6%
 
0.1% - 0.7%


Accumulated Comprehensive Loss – The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are foreign currency translation adjustments and pension and other postretirement benefits adjustments.  The balance of foreign currency translation adjustments was $0.6 million at March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013.  The balance of pension and other postretirement benefits adjustments was $0.3 million at March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

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 and distributing commercial cleaning and storage products.  The Company’s entire revenue is generated through this segment.

Note 2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Issued Accounting Standards – In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amended guidance that resolves the diversity in practice for the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity. The amended guidance requires that when a parent entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity, the parent is required to release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income in instances when a sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. Additionally, the amended guidance clarifies that the sale of an investment in a foreign entity includes both (1) events that result in the loss of a controlling financial interest in a foreign entity and (2) events that result in an acquirer obtaining control of an acquiree in which it held an equity interest immediately before the acquisition date. In these instances, an entity is required to release the cumulative translation adjustment into net income. We adopted the FASB's amended guidance during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The adoption of the guidance did not have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On January 24, 2013, the Company announced the closure of the Glit division of Continental Commercial Products, LLC. The Company ceased the majority of the operations of the division in the first quarter of 2013.  In addition, the Company entered into agreements to sell certain assets related to the Glit division in the first quarter of 2013. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of assets to settle the outstanding operating liabilities related to the division and reduce the outstanding balance under the PB Loan Agreement (as defined in Note 4 below).

On July 24, 2012, the Company announced the closure of the Container division of CCP. The Company sold certain assets related to the Container division for $0.6 million.

The closure of the Glit and Container divisions met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations in accordance with GAAP; therefore, the Company has classified the results of the Glit and Container divisions as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Selected financial data for discontinued operations is summarized as follows (amounts in thousands):

Note 4. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The consolidated financial statements include basic and diluted earnings (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 and (b) convertible preferred shares, owned by Kohlberg & Co. LLC (see Note 9), accounted for using the “if converted” basis, which assumes their conversion to common stock at a ratio of 16.6:1. The basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations are as follows:

As of March 28, 2014, no options were in the money and 12,000 options were out of the money. As of March 29, 2013, no options were in the money and 18,000 options were out of the money. At March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, 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 preferred shares were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings (loss) per share for the three months ended March 29, 2013 because of their anti-dilutive impact as a result of the Company’s net loss position.

Note 5. INDEBTEDNESS

On February 19, 2014, the Company and BMO Harris Bank N.A. entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “BMO Credit Agreement”),  which provides 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 PrivateBank Loan and Security Agreement (the “PB Loan Agreement”), finance the acquisition of FTW (as defined in Note 11), and pay certain fees and expenses related to the negotiation and consummation of the BMO Credit Agreement and the acquisition. 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.

The BMO Credit Agreement has an expiration date of February 17, 2017 and its borrowing base is determined by eligible inventory, accounts receivable, machinery and equipment and owned real estate, amounting to $24.6 million at March 28, 2014. 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. Upon extinguishment of the PB loan Agreement, the Company was required to advance cash to PrivateBank  as collateral for the outstanding letters of credit in the amount of $1.5 million, all of which was still outstanding at March 28, 2014. The cash advance is recorded within other current assets and the revolving credit agreement in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There was $22.5 million outstanding under the BMO Loan Agreement and $7.7 million outstanding under the PB Loan Agreement as of March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement 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 six month interest period. An unused commitment fee of 25 basis points per annum is payable quarterly on the average unused amount of the BMO Credit Agreement. The BMO Credit Agreement includes financial covenants regarding fixed charge coverage ratio, maximum annual capital expenditures, minimum consolidated EBITDA at March 28, 2014 and minimum availability through June 2014. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants at March 28, 2014.
10

The BMO Credit Agreement requires a lockbox agreement which provides receipts (subject to certain exceptions) to be swept daily to reduce borrowings outstanding and allows for certain credit reserves to be set from time to time. These provisions in the BMO Credit Agreement cause 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 Company does not expect to repay, or be required to repay, within one year, the balance of the BMO Credit Agreement, which is classified as a current liability. The BMO Credit Agreement does not expire or have a maturity date within one year, but rather has a final expiration date of February 17, 2017.

All of the debt under the BMO Credit Agreement is re-priced to current rates at frequent intervals.  Therefore, its fair value approximates its carrying value at March 28, 2014.  For the three months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, the Company had amortization of debt issuance costs, included within interest expense, of $161,000 and $48,000, respectively. Included in amortization of debt issuance costs for the three months ended March 28, 2014 is approximately $109,000 of debt issuance costs written off due to the extinguishment of the PB Loan Agreement.

Note 6. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
 
Certain subsidiaries have 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, are to contribute such amounts as determined on an actuarial basis to 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.

Information regarding the Company’s net periodic benefit cost for pension and other postretirement benefit plans for the three months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 is as follows (amounts in thousands):

During the three months ended March 28, 2014, the Company made contributions to the pension plans of $14,000.  The Company expects to contribute an additional $41,000 to the pension plans throughout the remainder of 2014.  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 using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs per the fair value hierarchy).

Note 7. 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.  Options have been granted at or above the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant, typically vest over a three-year period, and are exercisable not less than twelve months or more than ten years after the date of grant.  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.

At March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the aggregate liability related to SARs was $64,000 and $20,000, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Note 8. 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 2009.

 As a result of the acquisition of Ft. Wayne Holdings Inc. (“FTW”), the Company recorded deferred tax liabilities of $2.4 million which reduced its net deferred tax assets. The reduction in deferred tax assets caused a release of a valuation allowance of $2.3 million.

As of March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, of $79.5 and $81.9 million, respectively.  Domestic net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forwards comprised $62.1 million of the deferred tax assets for both periods.  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.  As a result, valuation allowances have been recorded as of such dates for the full amount of deferred tax assets, net of the amount of deferred tax liabilities.
12

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
 
Included in the balances at each of March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are $0.1 million of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits.  Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the recognition of these liabilities would not affect the annual effective tax rate.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to the unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision.  The Company had approximately $25,000 of interest and penalties accrued at each of March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
 
Note 9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Kohlberg & Co., L.L.C., whose affiliate holds all 1,131,551 shares of the Company’s Convertible Preferred Stock, provides ongoing management oversight and advisory services to the Company.  At March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company owed Kohlberg $2.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, for these services, which is recorded in current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  The Company incurs expense of $0.5 million per year for these services.  For each of the three months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, $0.1 million is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for these services.

In February 2014, loans of $0.1 million each were received from two directors of the Company, and a loan of $0.2 million was received from Kohlberg & Co. L.L.C., In connection with these loans, the Company entered into subordinated promissory notes with these individuals and Kohlberg & Co., L.L.C., respectively. These notes were used to finance the acquisition of FTW and are set to mature on December 31, 2014. 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.
 
Note 10. 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.

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.
13

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 11. BUSINESS ACQUISTIONS

On February 19, 2014, the Company acquired all of the equity interests of FTW, the parent company of Ft. Wayne Plastics, Inc. (“FWP”), a leading manufacturer of medium- to large- sized molded plastic components, specializing in low pressure, multi-nozzle structural plastic and gas assist solutions, for $11.5 million in cash, subject to certain pre-closing and post-closing purchase price adjustments. The acquisition of FWP’s premiere manufacturing capabilities and dedication to customer service are highly complementary with the Company.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

This report and the information incorporated by reference in this report contain various “forward-looking statements” as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of our management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management.  We have based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and projections about future events and trends affecting the financial condition of our business. Additional information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties is included in Item 1A under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Words and phrases such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “may,” “should,” “will,”  “continue,” “is subject to,” and the like are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  The results referred to in forward-looking statements may differ materially from actual results because they involve estimates, assumptions and uncertainties.  Forward-looking statements included herein are as of the date hereof and we undertake no obligation to revise or update such statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.  All forward-looking statements should be viewed with caution.  These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may lead to results that differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by us or on our behalf, including, among other things:

- Increases in the cost of, or in some cases continuation of, the current price levels of thermoplastic resins, paper board packaging, broom corn, cotton and other raw materials.

- Our inability to reduce product costs, including manufacturing, sourcing, freight, and other product costs.

- Our inability to expand our customer base and increase corresponding revenues.

- Our inability to achieve product price increases, especially as they relate to potentially higher raw material costs.

- Unfavorable economic or business conditions, as well as our exposure to the credit risks of our customers and distributors, which may reduce our sales or make it difficult to collect accounts receivable.

- Competition from foreign and domestic competitors.

- The potential impact of rising interest rates on our debt outstanding under the BMO Loan Agreement.

- Our inability to meet covenants associated with the BMO Loan Agreement.
15

- Our inability to access funds under our current loan agreements or refinance our loan agreements given the current instability in the credit markets.

- Our failure to identify, and promptly and effectively remediate, any material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting.

- The potential impact of rising costs for insurance for properties and various forms of liabilities.

- Labor issues, including union activities that require an increase in production costs or lead to a strike, thus impairing production and decreasing sales, and labor relations issues at entities involved in our supply chain, including both suppliers and those involved in transportation and shipping.

- Changes in significant laws and government regulations affecting environmental compliance and income taxes.

OVERVIEW

We are a manufacturer, importer and distributor of commercial cleaning and storage products.  Our commercial cleaning products are sold primarily to sanitary, maintenance and foodservice distributors that supply end users such as restaurants, hotels, healthcare facilities and schools.  Our storage products are primarily sold through major home improvement and mass market retail outlets.

In addition, with the acquisition of Ft. Wayne Plastics, we provide manufacturing services producing both structural foam and injection molded products for a variety of customers in a wide range of industries.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 28, 2014 versus Three Months Ended March 29, 2013

Net sales increased 9.7% from $18.2 million during the three months ended March 29, 2013 to $19.9 million during the three months ended March 28, 2014.  The increase was a result of the acquisition of FTW, which contributed $1.6 million in net sales for the three months ended March 28, 2014, and increased demand in our Continental business unit. The increase in net sales was partially offset, however, by a volume shortfall in our Wilen business unit and two less shipping days in the first quarter 2014 versus the first quarter 2013. Gross margin was 15.0% for the three months ended March 28, 2014, an increase of 1.7 percentage points from the same period a year ago.  The increase was primarily a result of higher margins on the sales mix in our Continental business unit. As a result, our gross profit increased $0.6 million from $2.4 million to $3.0 million.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $3.9 million for the three months ended March 28, 2014, a $0.5 million increase from the same period a year ago.  The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of FTW and incentive compensation expense for the three months ended March 28, 2014.

Operating loss decreased $0.4 million from $1.3 million for the three months ended March 29, 2013 to $0.9 million for the three months ended March 28, 2014. The decrease is a result of the increase in gross profit and reduction in severance costs, partially offset by an increase in our SG&A costs.

Interest expense increased by $0.1 million during the three months ended March 28, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 29, 2013 as a result of higher average borrowings under the BMO Loan Agreement and $0.1 million of write-offs related to deferred financing fees in connection with the extinguished PB loan agreement. The increase was  partially offset by lower interest rates for the three months ended March 28, 2014.

The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 28, 2014 includes a benefit as a result of the acquisition of FTW. The Company recorded deferred tax liabilities of $2.4 million which reduced its net deferred tax assets. The reduction in deferred tax assets caused a release of a valuation allowance of $2.3 million.

Income from continuing operations increased $2.6 million from a loss of $1.4 million for the three months ended and March 29, 2013 to $1.2 million for the three months ended March 28, 2014. The increase is a result of the increase in gross profit and tax benefit, which was partially offset by the increase in SG&A and interest costs.
16

With the announced closure of the Glit division on January 24, 2013 and the closure of the Container division on September 20, 2012 all activity associated with these divisions has been classified as discontinued operations.  Income from operations for these divisions was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 29, 2013. Income from operations include the Glit Division’s recognition $1.9 million of deferred revenue for the three months ended March 29, 2013.

Overall, we reported net income of $1.2 million, or $0.15 per basic share ($0.04 per diluted share), for the first quarter of 2014, as compared to a net loss of $0.8 million, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2013.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We require funding for working capital needs and capital expenditures.  We believe that our cash flow from operations and the use of available borrowings under the BMO Loan Agreement (as defined below) provides sufficient liquidity for our operations going forward.  As of March 28, 2014, we had cash of $0.6 million and outstanding checks of $0.2 million as compared to cash of $0.7 million and outstanding checks of $0.3 million at December 31, 2013.  As of March 28, 2014, we had outstanding borrowings of $22.5 million under the BMO Loan Agreement.  Our unused borrowing availability at March 28, 2014 under the BMO Loan Agreement was $2.1 million.  As of December 31, 2013, we had outstanding borrowings of $7.7 million with unused borrowing availability of $1.6 million.

BMO Loan Agreement

On February 19, 2014, the Company and BMO Harris Bank N.A. entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “BMO Credit Agreement”),  which provides 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 PrivateBank Loan and Security Agreement (the “PB Loan Agreement”), finance the acquisition of FTW (as defined in Note 11), and pay certain fees and expenses related to the negotiation and consummation of the BMO Credit Agreement and the acquisition. 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.

The BMO Credit Agreement has an expiration date of February 17, 2017 and its borrowing base is determined by eligible inventory, accounts receivable, machinery and equipment and owned real estate, amounting to $24.6 million at March 28, 2014. 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. Upon extinguishment of the PB loan Agreement, the Company was required to advance cash to PrivateBank  as collateral for the outstanding letters of credit in the amount of $1.5 million, all of which was still outstanding at March 28, 2014. The cash advance is recorded within other current assets and the revolving credit agreement in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. There was $22.5 million outstanding under the BMO Loan Agreement and $7.7 million outstanding under the PB Loan Agreement as of March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement 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 six month interest period. An unused commitment fee of 25 basis points per annum is payable quarterly on the average unused amount of the BMO Credit Agreement. The BMO Credit Agreement includes financial covenants regarding fixed charge coverage ratio, maximum annual capital expenditures, minimum consolidated EBITDA at March 28, 2014 and minimum availability through June 2014. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants at March 28, 2014.

The BMO Credit Agreement requires a lockbox agreement which provides receipts (subject to certain exceptions) to be swept daily to reduce borrowings outstanding and allows for certain credit reserves to be set from time to time. These provisions in the BMO Credit Agreement cause 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 Company does not expect to repay, or be required to repay, within one year, the balance of the BMO Credit Agreement, which is classified as a current liability. The BMO Credit Agreement does not expire or have a maturity date within one year, but rather has a final expiration date of February 17, 2017.

All of the debt under the BMO Credit Agreement is re-priced to current rates at frequent intervals.  Therefore, its fair value approximates its carrying value at March 28, 2014.  For the three months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013, the Company had amortization of debt issuance costs, included within interest expense, of $161,000 and $48,000, respectively. Included in amortization of debt issuance costs for the three months ended March 28, 2014 is approximately $109,000 of debt issuance costs written off due to the extinguishment of the PB Loan Agreement.

Cash Flows

Cash used by operating activities before changes in operating assets and liabilities was $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2014 as compared to a use of $0.7 million in the same period of 2013.  Changes in operating assets and liabilities from continuing operations used $2.9 million in the first quarter of 2014 as compared $1.0 million in the same period of 2013. The increase in usage is primarily attributable to posting cash collateralization of $1.5 million with PrivateBank in connection with our letters of credit.
 
Cash flows used by investing activities in the first quarter of 2014 reflect an $11.1 million increase due to the purchase of FTW.

Cash flows provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 2014 reflect a $14.8 million increase in our bank borrowings, an increase of $0.4 million in borrowings from related parties, and a $0.7 million increase in our debt issuance costs since December 31, 2013, primarily due to FTW acquisition.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of March 28, 2014, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
