(6) Long-Term Debt.

 

The fair value of the Company’s 8.75% Notes is determined under the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance on fair value measurements that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  As of June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company had $198,800 of 8.75% Notes, long-term debt outstanding, with estimated fair values of approximately $181,900 and $150,100, based upon its traded values at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  The estimated fair values are measured using Level 1 inputs which are described as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

 

(7) Supplemental Cash Flow Information.

 

The supplemental cash flow information for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was as follows:

(8) Income Taxes.

 

The income tax provision for the periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was recorded based on the Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate.

 

The Company reports a liability for tax positions taken that will more likely than not result in additional tax payments in the event of examination by the federal, state or foreign taxing jurisdictions in which the Company

J.B. POINDEXTER & CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands)

 

operates (“uncertain tax positions”) and classifies related interest and penalties on late payment of taxes as income tax expense in the financial statements.   The total amount of accrued interest and penalties related to these tax positions was $544 at June 30, 2010 and $558 at June 30, 2009.  This decrease was mainly due to lapses of statutes of limitations on certain filings.

 

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax in Canada and multiple state jurisdictions. The Company has concluded substantially all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through 2005.  Substantially all material state and local income tax matters have been concluded for fiscal years through 2005.  Currently, the Company is under audit by Revenue Canada for tax years 2001 through 2006 and is being audited by the Internal Revenue Service for 2006. The Company has provided for all known potential exposures for those examinations.

 

(9) Contingencies.

 

Claims and Lawsuits.  The Company is involved in claims and lawsuits arising in the normal course of business.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

 

Letters of Credit and Other Commitments.  The Company had $1,322 in standby letters of credit outstanding at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, primarily securing the Company’s chassis bailment pool program at Morgan.

 

Environmental Matters. The Company’s operations are subject to a variety of federal, state and local environmental and health and safety statutes and regulations, including those relating to emissions to the air, discharges to water, treatment, storage and disposal of waste, and remediation of contaminated sites. In certain cases, these requirements may limit the productive capacity of its operations. Certain laws, including the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, impose strict and, under certain circumstances, joint and several liability for costs to remediate contaminated sites upon designated responsible parties including site owners or operators and persons who dispose of wastes at, or transport wastes to, such sites. Some of the Company’s operations also require permits which may restrict its activities and which are subject to renewal, modification or revocation by issuing authorities. In addition, the Company generates nonhazardous wastes, which are also subject to regulation under applicable environmental laws.

 

From time to time, the Company has received notices of noncompliance with respect to its operations, which typically have been resolved by investigating the alleged noncompliance, correcting any noncompliant conditions and paying fines, none of which individually or in the aggregate has had a material adverse effect on the Company.  The Company cannot ensure that it has been or will at all times be in compliance with all of these requirements, including those related to reporting or permit restrictions, or that it will not incur material fines, penalties, costs or liabilities in connection with such requirements or a failure to comply with them.  Additionally, the Company expects that the nature of its operations will continue to make it subject to increasingly stringent environmental regulatory standards. Although the Company believes it has made sufficient capital expenditures to maintain compliance with existing laws and regulations, future expenditures may be necessary as compliance standards and technology change or as unanticipated circumstances arise. Unforeseen and significant expenditures required to comply with new or more aggressively enforced requirements or newly discovered conditions could limit expansion or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial condition.

 

In July 2005, Morgan notified the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) that it was investigating its compliance with the filing requirements of Section 313 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and regulations promulgated thereunder. All necessary reports were completed and filed with the USEPA by August 31, 2005.  A letter from the USEPA requesting additional information was received in December 2006 and a response submitted. Action by the USEPA is probable and the financial impact of such enforcement action, if any, cannot be estimated but could be material.

(10) Closed and Excess Facility Costs.

 

During the second quarter of 2010, Specialty Manufacturing initiated a plan for the consolidation and restructuring of its two funeral coach and limousine manufacturing operations into one facility.  Specialty Manufacturing completed the consolidation of the funeral coach manufacturing operations and recorded a closed and excess facility charge of $0.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2010.  The consolidation of the limousine manufacturing operations is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2010.

 

During the second quarter of 2009, Specialty Manufacturing announced a plan to close its machining services facilities in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.   Specialty Manufacturing recorded a closed and excess facility charge of $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009 including future personnel related costs and rent payments totaling $0.2 million.  As of June 30, 2009, $0.4 million had been paid with respect to these costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Working capital at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $102.6 million and $99.4 million, respectively.  Excluding cash and cash equivalents, working capital increased $3.4 million.  Cash decreased $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010.  Cash generated from operations was $5.4 million less capital expenditures of $4.9 million, and payments on our revolving credit facility and capital leases were $1.0 million.  Consistent with the increase in sales, working capital increased by $11.8 million of accounts receivable, $3.2 million of inventories and $0.6 million of prepaid expenses that were partially offset by a $9.4 million increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Accounts receivable days sales outstanding at June 30, 2010 and 2009 were approximately 26 days.  Days inventory on hand were approximately 40 at June 30, 2010 compared to 48 at June 30, 2009.  Days payable outstanding were approximately 27 at June 30, 2010 compared to 16 at June 30, 2009.

 

Operating cash flows.  Cash generated by operating activities of $5.4 million in the six-month period of 2010 decreased $12.6 million from $18.0 million in the comparable period of 2009. This change was primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and inventory in the six-month period of 2010 compared with decreases in the six-month period of 2009, partially offset by higher earnings and a net increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in 2010 compared to a net decrease in 2009.

 

Investing cash flows.  Net cash used in investing activities was $4.5 million and $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Investing activities were comprised of $4.9 million and $5.4 million of capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30 2010 and 2009, respectively.  Capital expenditures were comprised of maintenance related expenditures in both periods and new equipment at Specialty Manufacturing’s precision machining business of $1.6 million.

 

Financing cash flows.  Net cash used by financing activities totaled $1.0 million compared to $1.8 million in the prior period. The decrease in cash used was due to lower repayments of amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility.

 

Long-term debt.  At June 30, 2010, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio, as defined in the indenture relating to our 8.75% Notes, was 1.5 to 1.0.  As a result of the decline to below 2.0 to 1.0, we are limited in our ability to incur additional indebtedness.  The Indenture Agreement permits certain exceptions with respect to capitalized lease obligations and other arrangements that are incurred for the purpose of financing all or part of the purchase price or cost of construction

or improvements of property used in our business.  Already existing obligations and any amounts available to be drawn on our existing revolving credit agreement are not subject to this limitation.  Our Revolving Credit Facility, which was extended through March 15, 2011 and which automatically renews for a 12-month period after March 15 of each year unless notice is provided at least 90 days prior to expiration by either party, and our Indenture restrict our ability to incur debt, pay dividends and undertake certain corporate activities. We are in compliance with the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Indenture.  Based upon our borrowing base, we had approximately $48.7 million of availability under our Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2010.

 

We believe that we will have adequate resources to meet our working capital and capital expenditure requirements consistent with past trends and practices for at least the next 12 months. We believe that our cash and borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility will satisfy our cash requirements for the coming year given our anticipated capital expenditures, working capital requirements and known obligations. Our ability to make payments on our debt, including the 8.75% Notes, and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future.
