FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

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

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

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

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to present fairly the financial information contained therein. These statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for annual periods and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company prepared the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014 or any other period(s). Certain amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 unaudited condensed financial statement presentation. Reference is made to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations on page 14. Risk factors that could impact results are discussed in Part II – Other Information, Item 1A – Risk Factors on page 19. Refer to the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of major accounting policies. There have been no material changes to these accounting policies during the quarter ended March 31, 2014.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company’s provision for income taxes is determined using the U.S. federal statutory rate. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities along with net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. The Company’s deferred tax asset was approximately $23.1 Million and $22.7 Million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset of $23.1 Million and $22.7 Million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, reducing its net carrying value to zero. The Company had no increase or decrease in unrecognized income tax benefits or any accrued interest or penalties relating to tax uncertainties at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. Unrecognized tax benefits are not expected to increase or decrease within the next twelve months.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method, which deducts equal amounts of the cost of each asset from earnings every year over its estimated economic useful life. The estimated economic useful life of an asset is monitored to determine its appropriateness, especially in light of changed business circumstances. Property, plant, and equipment held for use is grouped for impairment testing at the lowest level for which there is an identifiable cash flow. Impairment testing of the asset group occurs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Such circumstances would include a significant decrease in the market value of a long-lived asset grouping, a significant adverse change in the manner in which the asset grouping is being used or in its physical condition, a history of operating or cash flow losses associated with the use of the asset grouping, or changes in the expected useful life of the long-lived assets. If such circumstances are determined to exist, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by that asset group is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. If an asset group is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on the difference between the asset group’s fair value and its carrying value. An estimate of the asset group’s fair value is based on the discounted value of its estimated cash flows. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. The assumptions underlying cash flow projections represent our best estimates at the time of the impairment review. Factors that we must estimate include industry and market conditions, sales volume and prices, costs to produce, etc. Changes in key assumptions or actual conditions that differ from estimates could result in an impairment charge. Management believes it uses reasonable and supportable assumptions when performing impairment reviews and cannot predict the occurrence of future events and circumstances that could result in impairment charges. The Company does not believe any indicators of impairment exist for property, plant and equipment at March 31, 2014. Net property, plant and equipment totaled $1,633,530 and $1,600,679 as of and for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Depreciation expense totaled $108,391 and $117,979, of which $64,562 and $73,406 was included in cost of sales, for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible asset of an acquired business. Goodwill was $4,234,828 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The Company operates two reporting units or segments, Foam and Coatings. Disclosures related to goodwill are included in Note 7 to the financial statements. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if Management believes indicators of impairment exist, by comparing the carrying value of each reportable segment to their estimated fair values. The annual evaluation is performed in the fourth quarter of each calendar year. The impairment test requires the Company to compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including assigned goodwill. As of March 31, 2014, the Company does not believe any indicators of impairment exist for goodwill that would require additional analysis before the 2014 annual evaluation.

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED-CONTINUED)

 

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

 

Other Intangible Assets

 

The Company had other intangible assets consisting primarily of customer lists, product formulations, trade names, and non-competes that were acquired as part of business combinations. Other intangible assets are tested for impairment as part of the long-lived asset grouping impairment tests. Impairment testing of the asset group occurs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. See impairment discussion above under Property, Plant and Equipment for a description of how impairment losses are determined. Disclosures related to other intangible assets are included in Note 7 to the financial statements. Significant management judgment is required in the forecasts of future operating results that are used in the Company’s impairment evaluations. The estimates used are consistent with the plans and estimates that Management uses to manage its business. It is possible, however, that the plans may change and estimates used may prove to be inaccurate. If the Company’s actual results, or the plans and estimates used in future impairment analyses, are lower than the original estimates used to assess the recoverability of these assets, then the Company could incur future impairment charges, which would adversely affect financial performance. The Company does not believe any indicators of impairment exist for other intangible assets at March 31, 2014. Net other intangible assets totaled $1,175,987 and $1,165,157 as of and for the quarter and year ended March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Amortization expense totaled $68,430 and $128,613 for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales are recognized as risk and title to products transfers to the customer (which generally occurs at the time shipment is made), the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Sales channels include direct sales, distributors, and independent representatives. Amounts billed for shipping and handling are included in sales (freight). Freight included in sales was $221,749 and $288,069 for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in cost of sales. Sales are recorded net of sales tax. Freight included in cost of sales was $888,510 and $817,200 at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Share Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock based compensation by measuring and recognizing the cost of employee or director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The fair value of share based awards is estimated at the grant date using a straight line closing trading stock price based valuation model and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period. Share based compensation expense was $225,285 and $309,949 for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. If additional stock options or stock awards are granted, financial performance will be negatively affected, and if outstanding stock options or stock awards are forfeited or canceled, resulting in non-vesting of such stock options or stock awards, financial performance will be positively affected. In either instance, the Company’s financial performance may change depending on stock option or stock award activities in future periods.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company presents trade receivables, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, to ensure trade receivables are not overstated due to uncollectible accounts. Allowances, when required, are calculated based on a detailed review of certain individual customer accounts and an estimation of the overall economic conditions affecting our customer base. The Company reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit. The allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $382,000 and $317,000 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate based on worsening overall economic conditions, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments to the Company, then additional allowances may be required in future periods, which would adversely affect the Company’s financial performance.

 

Reserves for Losses

 

The Company presents note receivables, net of reserves for losses, to ensure note receivables are not overstated due to uncollectible amounts. Reserves, when required, are calculated based on a detailed review of the specific note, including other security when applicable, and an estimation of the credit worthiness of the debtor. Total Note Receivables were approximately $470,000 and $473,000 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The reserve for losses was approximately $237,000 at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

 

Advertising and Marketing

 

Advertising and marketing costs are generally expensed as incurred. Expenditures for trade magazines and television commercials are expensed at the time the first advertisement is printed or shown on television. Expenditures for certain advertising and marketing activities related to trade shows are deferred within the Company’s fiscal year when the benefits clearly extend beyond the interim period in which the expenditure is made, generally not to exceed 90 days. Other advertising and marketing expenditures that do not meet the deferred criteria are expensed when the advertising occurs. At March 31, 2014 and 2013, deferred advertising costs were $63,399 and $18,788, respectively. Total advertising and marketing costs expensed were $342,953 and $355,227 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

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

 

Discount on Note Payable

 

The Company capitalizes discounts on certain notes payable, which are included in the Company’s balance sheets. These discounts are amortized using the effective-interest method. Amortization of discount is included in “Interest Expense – Amortization of Discount” in the statements of operations.

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

The Company capitalizes debt issuance costs, which are included in the Company’s balance sheets. These costs are amortized over the term of the financial instrument. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in “Interest Expense” in the statements of operations.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standards update that requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carry-forward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. This guidance became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that provides guidance on the accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) upon de-recognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. Under this guidance, an entity should recognize the CTA in earnings based on meeting certain criteria, including when it ceases to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a consolidated foreign entity or upon a sale or transfer that results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets resides. This guidance became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance in the first quarter of 2014. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

New Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations and allows companies to have significant continuing involvement with and continuing cash flows from or to the discontinued operation. It also requires additional disclosures for discontinued operations and new disclosures for individually material disposal transactions that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, which will be the Company's fiscal year 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of the guidance will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2. Liquidity.

 

Although the Company generated $604,889 of cash from operating activities and has a working capital surplus of $5,217,135, it has an accumulated deficit of $87,542,168 and a net loss of $1,046,514 as of and for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. As a result, there are concerns about the liquidity of the Company at March 31, 2014. Management believes that the cash generated from operations and the Revolver Loan availability, subject to borrowing base limitations, based on budgeted sales and expenses as supported by credit, margin and expense controls, are sufficient to fund the Company’s operations, including capital expenditures, for the next 12 months.

 

Note 3. Dependence on Few Suppliers.

 

The Company is dependent on a few suppliers for certain raw materials and finished goods. For the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, raw materials and finished goods purchased from the three largest suppliers accounted for approximately 47% and 47% of purchases, respectively.

Note 11. Financing Instruments

 

(a) Loan and Security Agreement. The Company maintains a $13,000,000 revolver loan (“Revolver Loan”) pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank”), which matures on March 31, 2016, under which the Company granted the Bank a continuing security interest in and lien upon all Company assets ("Loan Agreement”). The Base Rate is equal to the greater of (a) the Prime Rate; (b) the Federal Funds Rate, plus 0.50%; or (c) LIBOR for a 30 day interest period, plus 1.50%. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the balance outstanding on the Revolver Loan was $4,074,529 and $4,539,163, and the weighted-average interest rate was 4.4% and 4.5%, respectively. At March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all of our Loan Agreement debt covenants.

 

(b) Note Purchase Agreements.

 

(i) New Enhanced Note. The Company authorized the issuance of an aggregate of $7.2 Million in Subordinated Secured Promissory Notes with Enhanced Jobs for Texas Fund, LLC (“Enhanced Jobs”) and Enhanced Credit Supported Loan Fund, LP (“Enhanced Credit”), pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement, of which $5.7 Million was to Enhanced Credit and $1.5 Million was to Enhanced Jobs, both of which mature on December 10, 2016, under which the Company granted Enhanced a second lien on all assets of the Company after the Bank (“New Enhanced Note”). Interest is payable monthly and broken down into Current Pay Interest at the rate of 7.25% per annum, and PIK Interest at the rate of 3.75% (which is added to the principal balance of the outstanding notes) to create the Aggregate Interest Rate of 11%. In connection with the Prior Enhanced Note being refinanced in connection with the New Enhanced Note (Refer to (iii) below), a purchase discount of $542,886 was recognized and is being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the three year term of the New Enhanced Note (See also (ii) below). At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the balance outstanding on the New Enhanced Note was $6,796,528 and $6,683,561 and the effective interest rate was 23.6% and 29.0%, respectively. At March 31, 2014, interest expense – amortization of discount was $18,622. At March 31, 2014, we were in compliance with all of our New Enhanced Note debt covenants. See also Note 16 – Subsequent Events, Item (a) for more information.

 

(ii) New Guaranty Agreement. In connection with the New Enhanced Note described in (i) above, the Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder of the Company (the “Guarantor”), entered into a Guaranty Agreement with Enhanced Credit, as agent under the New Enhanced Note, to secure the Company’s performance under the New Enhanced Note. The Company, in exchange for Guarantor’s personal guarantee of the obligations under the New Enhanced Note, granted Guarantor 3,681,000 shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01, which shares vest monthly on a pro rata basis over the three year term of the New Enhanced Note (“New Guaranty Shares”). The New Guaranty Shares were valued at $.60 per share for an aggregate amount of $2,208,600. The New Guaranty Shares are being recorded as interest expense – related party, thereby increasing the effective interest rate on the New Enhanced Note. At March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there were 301,996 and 73,821 New Guaranty Shares vested, valued and recorded in the aggregate at $181,198 and $44,293, respectively.

 

(iii) Prior Enhanced Note. Upon receipt of the $7.2 Million under the New Enhanced Note described in (i) above on December 10, 2013, the Company paid off the outstanding balances due under the prior Note Purchase Agreement dated as of June 29, 2012 entered into with Enhanced Jobs For Texas Fund, LLC (“Enhanced Jobs”) and Enhanced Capital Texas Fund LP (“Enhanced Capital”), in the amount of $1,673,381 for Enhanced Jobs and $1,673,381 for Enhanced Texas (“Prior Enhanced Note”), and all related agreements, were terminated. At December 9, 2013 and prior to the payoff of the balance outstanding on the Prior Enhanced Note of $3,346,762 (as described above), the effective interest rate was 29.2%.

No monetary payment (other than applicable tax withholding) is required as a condition of receiving the Bonus Shares, as the consideration is continued satisfactory employment with the Company during the vesting period. The Bonus Shares vest in four equal 25,000 share increments, on February 7, 2014, December 31, 2014, December 31, 2015, and February 6, 2016, respectively, subject to continued employment with the Company.

Kurtz, Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder, granted to him in connection with his personal guaranty of the New Enhanced Note, which transactions were valued and recorded in the aggregate at $181,198, and classified as interest expense – related party.

See also Note 16 – Subsequent Events, Items (b) and (c) for more information.

 

Note 13. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share – Basic and Diluted.

 

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

 

The computation of the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share at:

 

   March 31, 2014  March 31, 2013
Net loss available to common shareholders (A)  $(1,046,514)  $(580,038)
Weighted average common shares outstanding (B)   114,399,050    109,744,463 
Dilutive effect of equity incentive plans   2,460,000    —   
Weighted average common shares outstanding, assuming dilution (C)   115,796,196    109,744,463 
Basic earnings per common share (A)/(B)  $(0.01)  $(0.01)
Diluted earnings per common share (A)/(C)  $(0.01)  $(0.01)

 

For March 31, 2014, a total of 2,080,000 shares of common stock underlying vested and exercisable stock options were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share as the exercise prices of the stock options were greater than the market value of the common shares (out-of-the-money). For March 31, 2013, a total of 7,285,833 shares of common stock, of which 4,785,833 shares underlie vested and exercisable stock options and 2,500,000 shares underlie warrants, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share as they were out-of-the-money. Out-of-the money options and warrants could be included in the calculation in the future if the market value of the Company’s common shares increases and is greater than their exercise price.

 

Note 14. Securities Transactions.

 

(a) During the first quarter of 2014, the Company vested an aggregate of 257,966 shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01 per share, to a director for advisory and consulting services, which transactions were valued and recorded in the aggregate at $148,683.

 

(b) During the first quarter of 2014, the Company vested an aggregate of 301,996 shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01 per share, to the Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder in connection with his personal guaranty of the New Enhanced Note, which transactions were valued and recorded in the aggregate at $181,198, and classified as interest expense – related party.

 

(c) During the first quarter of 2014, the Company vested 25,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of a 100,000 shares stock bonus grant to an employee pursuant to the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, which transaction was valued and recorded in the aggregate at $16,250.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

Overview of Presentation

 

This financial review presents our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, and our financial condition at March 31, 2014. The presentation includes our non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the GAAP measures most directly comparable thereto. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is net income or loss. The non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and have important limitations as analytical tools. You should not consider EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and is defined differently by different companies, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Except for the historical information contained herein, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. We discuss some of these risks, uncertainties and other factors throughout this report and provide a reference to additional risks under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part II below. In addition, the following review should be read in conjunction with information presented in Part I, Item 6 – Selected Financial Data relating to non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and the financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2013 contained in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Refer to Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further information regarding significant accounting policies and Note 15 – Business Segment and Geographic Area Information in our financial statements listed under Item 15 of Part IV of this report for further information regarding our business segments and geographic area data. See also Note 1 in the notes to the financial statements listed under Item 15 of Part IV of this report for “Critical Accounting Policies”.

 

Outlook

 

The Company’s outlook remains aggressive and positive, as we expect sales to continue to grow, especially internationally, to record levels in 2014 and beyond. Our optimism is based on growing global consumer awareness about energy efficient foams and coatings and concomitant reductions in energy costs immediately after application. Lapolla’s business was affected in the first quarter by seasonal factors, specifically unusually persistent cold weather ("Seasonality"). Sales of our products tend to be lowest during the first and fourth fiscal quarters, however, sales during the second and third fiscal quarters are usually comparable and marginally higher. The markets for our products are highly competitive; however, we believe that our competitive advantages are rooted in our product formulations, credentials, approvals, performance, pricing, and technical customer service. In addition, we offer the flexibility, quality of products and responsiveness that a smaller company can offer. This outlook is based on a number of assumptions relating to our business and operations which are subject to change, some of which are outside our control. A variation in our assumptions may result in a change in this outlook.

Sales

 

The following is a summary of sales for the three months ended:

 

   March 31, 2014  March 31, 2013
  $16,102,200   $16,995,510 

 

Sales decreased $893,310, or 5.3%, for the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013. Foam sales decreased $880,953, or 5.9% and coatings sales decreased $12,357, or 0.6%, quarter over quarter, due to Seasonality. Our AirTight Division provided additional market penetration, resulting in approximately $1.9 Million and $3.5 Million in sales for the first quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Sales pricing changes added approximately $34,514, or 0.2%, all of which related to coatings sales, while sales volumes decreased approximately $927,824, or 5.5%, of which $880,953, or 5.9% was for foam sales and $46,871, or 2.2%, for coatings sales, for the first quarter of 2014, compared to, sales pricing changes added approximately $616,575, or 3.3%, of which $607,051, or 3.8% was for foam sales and $9,524, or 0.4% was for coatings sales, while sales volumes decreased approximately $2,271,046, or 12.2%, of which $1,810,855, or 11.2% was for foam sales and $460,191, or 18.1%, for coatings sales, for the first quarter of 2013.

 

Cost of Sales

 

Cost of sales decreased $328,590, or 2.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. Cost of sales decreased $396,492, or 3.3%, for our foams, and increased $67,902, or 4.6%, for our coatings, quarter over quarter, due primarily to decreases in sales and higher freight costs. We had an 8.7% increase in freight costs and an approximate 1.5% decrease in material costs, in the first quarter of 2014, compared to a 29.2% decrease in freight costs and an approximate 8.1% increase in material costs, in the first quarter of 2013. Freight costs increased due to higher per trip rates due to increased market demand for transportation from extraordinarily cold weather patterns and material costs decreased due to taking advantage of payment discounts from more effective utilization of cash in the first quarter of 2014 whereas freight costs decreased from more effective management of logistics and material costs increased due to increased pricing from feedstock suppliers in the first quarter of 2013.

 

Gross Profit

 

Our gross profit decreased $564,720, or 15.5%, for the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013, due to the 8.7% increase in freight costs and decrease of 5.3% in our sales, offset by a decrease of approximately 1.5 in material costs. Gross margin percentage decreased 2.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, due to higher freight, offset by lower material costs, compared to an increase of 2.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, due to lower freight, offset by higher material costs.

 

Operating Expenses

 

Our total operating expenses are comprised of selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, professional fees, depreciation, amortization of other intangible assets, and consulting fees. These total operating expenses decreased $265,107, or 6.9%, in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013, due to decreases of $286,917 for professional fees, $744 for depreciation, and $60,183 for amortization of other intangible assets, offset by increases of $28,243 for SG&A and $54,494 for consulting fees.

 

SG&A increased $28,243, or 0.9%, due to increases of $15,502 for advertising, $62,608 for bad debts from a slight increase in insolvencies, $32,789 for insurances from higher premiums due to increased loss ratios, $5,708 for investor relations, $69,703 for payroll and related employee benefits from additions to our workforce, $40,665 for sales commissions from the use of more independent sales representatives to penetrate select target markets, and $9,196 for travel and related services, offset by decreases of $33,563 for corporate office expenses, $42,151 for distribution from a more efficient management of inventory being held in and a reduction in outside warehouses, $27,776 for marketing and promotions relating to more streamlined programs, $19,776 for rents, and $84,663 for share based compensation due to completion of vesting of shares originally granted by the Company pursuant to an advisory and consultant agreement in February 2011 during the current period.

 

Professional fees decreased $286,917, or 93.5%, from the first quarter of 2014 compared to the first quarter of 2013, due primarily to recovery of previously paid legal fees from insurance companies for litigation involving alleged product defects.

 

Depreciation expense decreased $744, or 1.7%, in the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, due to a decrease in depreciable assets primarily vehicles.

 

Amortization of other intangible assets expense decreased $60,183, or 46.8%, in the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013, due to a decrease in amortizable assets specifically customer lists and trade names.

 

Consulting fees increased $54,494, or 66.1%, in the first quarter of 2014, compared to the first quarter of 2013, due primarily to a reversal in the prior comparable period for disputed consulting services, absent which consulting fees would be relatively even quarter over quarter.

 

Other (Income) Expense

 

Our total other (income) expense is comprised of interest expense, interest expense – related party, interest expense – amortization of discount, gain or loss on derivative liability, and other, net. Total other (income) expense increased $166,863, or 44.3% from the first quarter of 2014, compared to the first quarter of 2013, due to increases of $16,981 in interest expense, $15,789 in interest expense – related party, $45,108 in interest expense – amortization of discount, offset by decreases of $45,913 in gain on derivative liability, and $43,072 in other, net.

Interest expense increased $16,981, or 6.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, due to an increase in indebtedness from financing institutions.

 

Interest expense – related party increased $15,789, or 8.6%, in the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, of which $14,671 was for share based compensation expense classified as interest expense due to shares being issued in connection with a personal guaranty required from the Chairman and principal stockholder to secure the New Enhanced Note and $1,118 was for accrued interest for the Note Payable – Related Party between the Company and the Chairman and principal stockholder.

 

Interest expense – amortization of discount was $45,108 for the first quarter of 2014 and related to the purchase discount associated with the New Enhanced Note. There was no interest expense – amortization of discount in the prior comparable period.

 

We had a decrease in the gain on derivative liability of $45,913, or 100%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013, due to expiration of all outstanding warrants causing the derivative liability in the prior comparable period.

 

Our other, net decreased $43,072, or 174.4%, for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2013, primarily related to additions and dispositions of assets.

 

Net (Loss)

 

Our net loss increased $466,476, or 80.4%, in the first quarter of 2014, compared to the first quarter of 2013, due to decreases of $564,720, or 15.5% in gross profit, $45,913, or 100% in gain on derivative liability, $43,072, or 174.4% in other, net, and increases of $28,243, or 0.9% in SG&A, $16,981, or 6.4%, in interest expense, $15,789, or 8.6% in interest expense – related party, $45,108, or 100%, in interest expense – amortization of discount, $54,494, or 66.1%, in consulting fees, offset by decreases of $286,917, or 93.5%, in professional fees, $744, or 1.7%, in depreciation, and $60,183, or 46.8%, in amortization of other intangible assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We do not maintain any cash on hand by design. Instead, we maintain a $13 Million asset based bank financed Revolver Loan that includes an automatic cash sweep feature that identifies any cash available in our bank accounts at the end of a banking business day and then applies that cash to reduce our outstanding Revolver Loan balance for that day to fund our continuing operations. The reduction serves to decrease our daily interest expense to the extent cash is identified and swept over to reduce the Revolver Loan. Disbursements are paid daily by our bank from cash being made available under our Revolver Loan based on a borrowing base calculation prepared daily for funding. Cash available under our Revolver Loan based on the borrowing base calculation at March 31, 2014 and 2013, was $2,217,907 and $376,026, respectively. On December 10, 2013, we borrowed $7.2 Million from two Enhanced Capital entities to refinance the remaining $3,346,762 balance outstanding on the Prior Enhanced Note and increase our working capital with the difference for the New Enhanced Note. Stockholders' Equity decreased $640,030, or 50.9%, from the period ended December 31, 2013 to March 31, 2014, due to the comprehensive loss of $1,046,514, offset by additions to common stock par value of $5,849 ad additional paid in capital of $400,635 from issuances of restricted common stock for share based compensation and interest expense – related party, compared to, a decrease of $95,766, or 8.0%, from the period ended December 31, 2012 to the period ended March 31, 2013, due to the comprehensive loss of $582,242, offset by additions to common stock par value of $11,149 and additional paid in capital of $475,327 from issuances of restricted common stock for share-based compensation and interest expense – related party.

 

Management believes that the cash generated from operations and the Revolver Loan availability, subject to borrowing base limitations which may adversely impact our ability to raise capital, based on budgeted sales and expenses and implemented minimum sales margin and cost controls, are sufficient to fund operations, including capital expenditures, for the next 12 months. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we evaluate capital raising opportunities for private placements of debt or common or preferred stock from accredited sophisticated investors from time to time to not only gage market conditions but also to ensure additional capital is readily available to fund aggressive growth developments. If we raise additional capital from the sale of capital stock (except for permitted issuances) or debt (other than permitted indebtedness), we are required under the New Enhanced Note to prepay, including any prepayment penalty, the amount raised up to the amount outstanding under the New Enhanced Note as of the date of the closing of the transaction out of the net proceeds of the capital raised.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $604,889 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, compared to net cash used in operations of $1,100,384 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The cash provided by operations for the first quarter of 2014 compared to the cash used in the first quarter of 2013 was attributable to the net loss of $1,046,514 for the period, including the effect of adjustments to reconcile net loss to cash provided by operating activities and adjusting for non-cash items, primarily decreases of $9,588 in depreciation due to a decrease in depreciable assets for vehicles, $60,183 in amortization of other intangible assets due to a decrease in amortizable assets for customer lists and non-competes from previous acquisitions, and $84,664 in share based compensation expense due to completion of vesting of shares originally granted by the Company pursuant to an advisory and consultant agreement in February 2011, offset by increases of $62,608 in provision for losses due to a slight increase in customer insolvencies, $15,789 in interest expense – related party due to the New Guaranty Shares being issued in connection with the New Enhanced Note being classified as interest expense, and $45,108 in interest expense – amortization of discount due to the purchase discount being amortized over the life of the New Enhanced Note, which matures December 2016. The foregoing was augmented by decreases of $597,006 in inventories, $305,249 in prepaid in prepaid expenses and other current assets, $24,008 in deposits and other non-current assets, and $224,773 in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and increases of $627,571 in trade receivables, $79,260 in other intangible assets, and $812,973 in accounts payable, due primarily to operating activities during the period ended March 31, 2014.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We do not issue or invest in financial instruments or their derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Although we sell our products in select international markets, our operations are primarily conducted in the United States, and, as such, we are not subject to material foreign currency exchange risks at this time. We have outstanding debt and related interest expense, however, market risk in interest rate exposure in the United States and limited international markets is currently not material to our operations. We primarily utilize letters of credit and credit insurance to mitigate risks of collection in our business outside of the United States.

The outcome of this litigation cannot be determined at this time.
