Metl-Span, LLC
Notes to Interim Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business
Metl-Span, LLC (the Company) manufactures a wide range of insulated building panels for use in refrigerated and environmentally controlled buildings. The panels are sold primarily to contractors and end users throughout the United States of America, Canada, and to a lesser degree, Mexico and the Caribbean.
Legal Form and Ownership
The Company was organized on September 15, 2007, through a conversion of Metl-Span I, Ltd. to a Texas limited liability company. Effective January 31, 2008, the Company was acquired by VSMA, Inc. (formerly IMSA), which is wholly owned by BlueScope Steel North America (BSNAC).
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim financial information. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for nine month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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.
Cash
The Company participates in a centralized treasury function with BSNAC and affiliates, and maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at the invoiced amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables and do not bear interest. A review of all outstanding receivables is conducted on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customers financial condition and credit history, and considering current economic conditions. Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. The majority of the customer accounts are considered past due after the invoice becomes older than the customers credit terms (30 days for the majority of customers). The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to its customers. The allowance for doubtful receivables was $250,447 and $244,170 at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Metl-Span, LLC
Notes to Interim Financial Statements
Note Receivable, Parent
Effective July 1, 2011, the Company entered into an $80 million, one-year revolving loan facility with its parent company, BSNAC. The facility is uncommitted and the interest rate on the facility is the one month LIBOR rate, set on the last business day of the preceding interest period. The facility is reviewed and renewed annually. Prior to the facility being in place, the Company would lend or borrow funds from BSNAC to meet the daily funding requirements of business operations.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost generally determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and include material, labor, and manufacturing overhead.
Goodwill
Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the cost of an acquired business over the fair value of the net assets acquired. The Company does not amortize goodwill, but rather reviews its carrying value for impairment annually (June), and whenever an impairment indicator is identified. The goodwill impairment test involves a two-step approach. The first step is to identify if potential impairment of goodwill exists. If impairment of goodwill is determined to exist, the second step of the goodwill impairment test measures the amount of the impairment using a fair value-based approach. No impairment indicators were identified during the nine months ending March 31, 2012 or 2011.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, computer software and trade name. Intangible assets, with the exception of trade name, are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are stated at historical cost and are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the related assets or the term of the lease. Major repairs or replacements of property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related assets. Maintenance and minor repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in the statement of earnings.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets, including indefinite lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be fully recoverable. These events or changes in circumstances may include a significant deterioration of operating results, changes in business plans, or changes in anticipated future cash flows. If an impairment indicator is present, the Company evaluates recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying amount, the Company would recognize an impairment loss. An impairment loss would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets and intangibles. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Other Assets
Other assets consist of security deposits on the Las Vegas plant lease and the Lewisville office lease.

Metl-Span, LLC
Notes to Interim Financial Statements
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of the Companys products is recorded at the time the products are shipped, which is also when title passes to the customer. Accounts receivable represent billed amounts owed to the Company for products that have been shipped. The Company records deferred revenue when advance payments are received from a customer at the time an order is placed. Advance payments are required from customers at the discretion of management.
Insurance Reserves
The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance plans to address the potential liabilities associated with their workers compensation, general liability, property insurance, director and officers liability insurance, automobile liability and employee health care benefits programs. Liabilities associated with the risks that are retained by the Company are estimated in part, by considering historical claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors and other actuarial assumptions. All health insurance reserves are recorded in Accrued liabilities on the balance sheets. The Company has non-health insurance reserves of $262,543 and $327,614 as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which are included in Other long-term liabilities on the balance sheets.
Deferred Rent
For leases that contain rent escalations, the Company records the total rent payable during the lease term on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and records the difference between the rent paid and the straight-line rent as a deferred rent liability. Future contractual rent payments are used to calculate straight-line rent expense. As of March 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company has deferred rent of $822,162 and $858,820, respectively, which is included in Other long-term liabilities on the balance sheets.
Income Taxes
Deferred taxes are provided on an asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Interim income taxes are computed by estimating the effective income tax rate for the year, which is applied to interim net income before income tax expense.
BSNAC and its subsidiaries file a consolidated United States federal income tax return. Income tax expense is allocated by BSNAC and recorded by the Company based upon the Companys own permanent and temporary differences.
The Company follows the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Topic, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Under this guidance, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company has not recognized any liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2012 and 2011.
6
Metl-Span, LLC
Notes to Interim Financial Statements
The Company recognizes interest expense and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years before 2011.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs, included in selling, general and administrative expenses, are charged to expense as incurred and were $506,943 and $397,213 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs, all of which are included in cost of goods sold, are charged to expense as incurred.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Companys financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments.
Loss Contingencies
The Companys accounting for contingencies covers a variety of business activities, including contingencies for legal exposures. Accruals are made for these contingencies when managements assessments indicate that it is probable that a liability has been incurred or an asset will not be recovered and an amount can be reasonably estimated. Estimates are based on current available facts and managements estimates of the ultimate outcome or resolution. Actual results may differ from the estimates resulting in an impact, positive or negative, on income. The Company is currently not involved in any legal proceedings.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of unsecured accounts receivable. The Companys customers are not concentrated in any specific geographic region but are concentrated in the construction industry. Credit is extended based on evaluation of the customers financial condition and credit history, and generally, collateral is not required.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance to amend and simplify the rules related to testing goodwill for impairment. The revised guidance allows an entity to make an initial qualitative evaluation, based on the entitys events and circumstances, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The results of this qualitative assessment determine whether it is necessary to perform the currently required two-step impairment test. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on the Companys financial statements.
