CONTINENTAL MATERIALS CORPORATION

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION FORM 10-Q

NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 28, 2014

(Unaudited)

 

1.              Basis of Presentation:

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Continental Materials Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 28, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (none of which were other than normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2013 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2014 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated results of operations, the net increase in cash or the total assets, liabilities or shareholders’ equity of the Company.

 

2.              Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method that requires deferred income taxes to reflect the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities recognized are based on the tax rates in effect in the year in which differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, based on available positive and negative evidence, it is “more likely than not” (greater than a 50% likelihood) that some or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company has established a valuation reserve related to the carry-forward of all charitable contributions deductions arising from prior years and the portion of contributions in 2014 that the Company believes it will be unable to utilize prior to the expiration of their carry-forward periods. The Company also established a valuation reserve related to the carry-forward of the long-term capital loss related to the sale of the stock of Rocky Mountain Ready Mix Concrete, Inc. due to the uncertainty that the Company will be able to generate offsetable long-term capital gains prior to the expiration of the carry-forward period, December 31, 2014. For Federal purposes, net operating losses can be carried forward for a period of 20 years while alternative minimum tax credits can be carried forward indefinitely. For state purposes, net operating losses can be carried forward for periods ranging from 5 to 20 years for the states that the Company is required to file in. California Enterprise Zone credits can be carried forward indefinitely while Colorado credits can be carried forward for 7 years.

 

The Company’s income tax returns are subject to audit by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) and state tax authorities. The amounts recorded for income taxes reflect the Company’s tax positions based on research and interpretations of complex laws and regulations. The Company accrues liabilities related to uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in its tax returns. The IRS has completed examinations for periods through 2009. Various state income tax returns also remain subject to examination.

 

3.              Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value measurements must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. There is a hierarchy of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1        Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2        Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3        Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs shall reflect the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability including assumptions about risk.

 

The following methods were used to estimate the fair value of all other financial instruments recognized in the accompanying balance sheet.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents: The carrying amount approximates fair value and was valued as Level 1.

 

Revolving Bank Loan Payable: Fair value is estimated based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities and determined through the use of a discounted cash flow model. The carrying amount of the Revolving Bank Loan Payable represents a reasonable estimate of the corresponding fair value as the Company’s debt is held at variable interest rates and was valued as Level 2.

 

6



 

Long-term Debt: Fair value was estimated based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities and determined through the use of a discounted cash flow model. The carrying amount of long-term debt represents a reasonable estimate of the corresponding fair value as the Company’s debt was held at variable interest rates and was valued as Level 2.

 

4.              There are currently no significant prospective accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

5.              Operating results for the first six months of 2014 are not necessarily indicative of performance for the entire year due to the seasonality of most of our products. Historically, sales of the Evaporative Cooling segment are higher in the first and second quarters, sales of the Concrete, Aggregates and Construction Supplies (CACS) segment are higher in the second and third quarters and sales of the Heating and Cooling segment are higher in the third and fourth quarters. The sales of the Door segment are more evenly spread throughout the year.

 

6.              There is no difference in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the three-month or six-month periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 as the Company does not have any dilutive instruments.

 

7.              The Company operates primarily in two industry groups, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and Construction Products. The Company has identified two reportable segments within each of the industry groups: the Heating and Cooling segment and the Evaporative Cooling segment in the HVAC industry group and the CACS segment and the Door segment in the Construction Products industry group.

 

The Heating and Cooling segment produces and sells gas-fired wall furnaces, console heaters and fan coils from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Williams Furnace Co. (WFC) of Colton, California. The Evaporative Cooling segment produces and sells evaporative coolers from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Phoenix Manufacturing, Inc. (PMI) of Phoenix, Arizona. Sales of these two segments are nationwide, but are concentrated in the southwestern United States. Concrete, Aggregates and Construction Supplies are offered from numerous locations along the Southern Front Range of Colorado operated by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Castle Concrete Company and Transit Mix Concrete Co., of Colorado Springs and Transit Mix of Pueblo, Inc. of Pueblo, Colorado (the three companies collectively are referred to as “TMC”). The Door segment sells hollow metal doors, door frames and related hardware, wood doors, lavatory fixtures and electronic access and security systems from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, McKinney Door and Hardware, Inc. (MDHI), which operates out of facilities in Pueblo and Colorado Springs, Colorado. Sales of these two segments are highly concentrated in the Southern Front Range of Colorado although door sales are also made throughout the United States.

 

In addition to the above reporting segments, an “Unallocated Corporate” classification is used to report the unallocated expenses of the corporate office which provides treasury, insurance and tax services as well as strategic business planning and general management services. Expenses related to the corporate information technology group are allocated to all locations, including the corporate office. An “Other” classification is used to report a real estate operation and the activity of Williams EcoLogix, Inc. (WEI). WEI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Continental Materials Corporation which was set up in anticipation of distributing a product that was being developed by a third party. The expenses incurred were associated with the subsidiary’s sole employee and miscellaneous related expenses. Development of the product has ceased and the sole employee was terminated in February 2013.

 

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on a number of criteria including operating income, return on investment and other strategic objectives. Operating income is determined by deducting operating expenses from all revenues. In computing operating income, none of the following has been added or deducted: unallocated corporate expenses, interest, other income or loss or income taxes.

 

The following table presents information about reported segments for the six-month and three-month periods ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 along with the items necessary to reconcile the segment information to the totals reported in the financial statements (dollar amounts in thousands):

There are no differences in the basis of segmentation or in the basis of measurement of segment profit or loss from the last Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

8.              Identifiable amortizable intangible assets as of June 28, 2014 include a restrictive land covenant and customer relationships. Collectively, these assets were carried at $92,000, net of $628,000 accumulated amortization. The pre-tax amortization expense for intangible assets during the quarter ended June 28, 2014 was $13,000 compared to $15,000 for the quarter ended June 29, 2013 and was $26,000 and $30,000 for the six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively.

 

Based upon the intangible assets recorded on the balance sheet at June 28, 2014, amortization expense for the next five years is estimated to be as follows: 2014 – $52,000; 2015 – $45,000; 2016 – $21,000.

 

9.              The Company issued a total of 12,000 shares to the eight eligible board members effective February 12, 2014 as full payment for their 2014 retainer fee. The Company issued a total of 12,000 shares to the eight eligible board members effective February 11, 2013 as full payment for their 2013 retainer fee. All shares were issued under the 2010 Non-Employee Directors Stock Plan.

 

10.       The Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) effective November 18, 2011. The Company entered into a Second Amendment to Credit Agreement effective March 20, 2014 to, among other things,

 

8



 

(i) increase the Revolving Commitment to $18,000,000 from $15,000,000, (ii) terminate the Term Loan Commitment upon the repayment in full of the outstanding principal balance (and accrued interest thereon), (iii) modify the Borrowing Base calculation to provide for borrowing availability in respect of new Capital Expenditures, (iv) decrease the interest rates on the Revolving Loans beginning in the third quarter of 2014, and (v) extend the maturity date to May 1, 2016, in each case, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Second Amendment. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventories, machinery, equipment, vehicles, certain real estate and the common stock of all of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement effective June 28, 2014 to defer the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant until the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and to add a minimum Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) requirement of $2,000,000 for the twelve months ended June 28, 2014, which the Company has met. Borrowings bear interest based on a London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or prime rate based option.

 

The Credit Agreement either limits or requires prior approval by the lender of additional borrowings, acquisition of stock of other companies, purchase of treasury shares and payment of cash dividends. Payment of accrued interest is due monthly or at the end of the applicable LIBOR period.

 

The Credit Agreement, as amended, also provides for the following:

 

·      The Revolving Commitment is $18,000,000.

·      Borrowings under the Revolving Commitment are limited to (a) 80% of eligible accounts receivable, (b) the lesser of 50% of eligible inventories and $8,500,000 plus (c) the lesser of 80% of new Capital Expenditures not to exceed $4,000,000 in the aggregate and $2,000,000 with respect to each of Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015.

·      The Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is not permitted to be below 1.05 to 1.0 for the Computation Period ending June 28, 2014 increasing to 1.15 to 1.0 for the Computation Period ending September 27, 2014 and each Fiscal Quarter end thereafter.

·      The Company must not permit Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Minimum EBITDA) to be less than $2,500,000 for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013 or permit the Minimum EBITDA to be less than $1,500,000 for the trailing twelve-month period ending March 29, 2014.

·      The Company must maintain a Minimum Tangible Net Worth as of the last day of any Computation Period of $35,000,000 increased by (but not decreased by) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income beginning with the 2013 fiscal year.

·      The Balance Sheet Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any Computation Period may not exceed 1.00 to 1.00.

·      The Company must pay within 120 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, an amount equal to fifty percent of Excess Cash Flow for such Fiscal Year. The lender waived this provision for the 2012 fiscal year.

·      The maturity date of the credit facility is May 1, 2016.

·      Interest rate pricing for the revolving credit facility is currently LIBOR plus 3.25% or the prime rate plus 1%. Commencing July 1, 2014, interest rate pricing will be lowered to LIBOR plus 3.00% or the prime rate plus .75%. An additional reduction is possible in the event the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is equal to or exceeds 1.5 to 1.0 with respect to any Computation Period ending on or after December 31, 2014.

 

Definitions under the Credit Agreement as amended are as follows:

 

·      Minimum Tangible Net Worth is defined as net worth plus subordinated debt, minus intangible assets (goodwill, intellectual property, prepaid expenses, deposits and deferred charges), minus all obligations owed to the Company or any of its subsidiaries by any affiliate or any or its subsidiaries and minus all loans owed by its officers, stockholders, subsidiaries or employees.

·      Excess Cash Flow is defined as meaning for any period, the remainder of (a) EBITDA for such period, minus (b) the sum, without duplication, of (i) scheduled repayments of principal of the term loan made during such period, plus (ii) voluntary prepayments of the term loan during such period, plus (iii) mandatory prepayments of the term loan during such period to the extent the amount of such mandatory prepayment was included in EBITDA for such period, plus (iv) cash payments made in such period with respect to capital expenditures, plus (v) all income taxes paid in cash by the Company during such period, plus (vi) cash interest expense of the Company during such period.

·      Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined as, for any computation period, the ratio of (a) the sum for such period of (i) EBITDA minus (ii) the sum of income taxes paid in cash and all unfinanced capital expenditures to (b) the sum for such period of (i) interest expense, plus (ii) required payments of principal of the term debt.

·      Balance Sheet Leverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of Total Debt to Tangible Net Worth.

As noted above, the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement called for the payoff of the then outstanding balance of the term loan with borrowings against the new revolving line of credit. Outstanding funded debt (term debt and revolving credit) was $5,400,000 as of June 28, 2014 compared to $3,658,000 at June 29, 2013. The highest balance outstanding during the first six months of 2014 and 2013 was $8,000,000 and $3,908,000, respectively. Average outstanding funded debt was $5,175,000 and $3,721,000 for the first six months of 2014 and 2013, respectively. At June 28, 2014, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $5,415,000. At all times since the inception of the Credit Agreement, the Company has had sufficient qualifying and eligible assets such that the available borrowing capacity exceeded the cash needs of the Company and this situation is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

 

The Company believes that its existing cash balance, anticipated cash flow from operations and borrowings available under the Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to cover expected cash needs, including planned capital expenditures, for the next twelve months. The Company expects to meet or exceed the Minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.15 to 1.00 for all succeeding Computation Periods.

 

11.       The Company is involved in litigation matters related to its business, principally product liability matters related to the gas-fired heating products and fan coil products in the Heating and Cooling segment. In the Company’s opinion, none of these proceedings, when concluded, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial condition as the Company has established adequate accruals for matters that are probable and estimable. The Company does not accrue estimated future legal costs related to the defense of these matters but rather expenses them as incurred.

 

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

 

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help investors understand the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and current business environment. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.

 

Company Overview

 

For an overview of the Company’s operations and operating structure, see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Various factors affect the sales of the Company’s products which in turn, can impact the Company’s liquidity and capital resources. Historically, the Company has experienced operating losses during the first quarter except when construction activity is strong along the Southern Front Range of Colorado and the weather is mild. Operating results typically improve in the second and third quarters reflecting more favorable weather conditions in Colorado and the seasonal sales of the Evaporative Cooling segment. Fourth quarter results can vary based on weather conditions in Colorado as well as in the principal markets for the Company’s heating equipment. Notwithstanding weather conditions, however, the Company expects construction activity along the Southern Front Range of Colorado to continue to improve from the very depressed levels of 2009 through 2012.

 

The Company typically experiences operating cash flow deficits during the first half of the year reflecting operating results, the use of sales dating programs (extended payment terms) related to the Evaporative Cooling segment and payments of the prior year’s accrued incentive bonuses and Company profit-sharing contributions, if any. As a result, the Company’s borrowings against its revolving credit facility tend to peak during the second quarter and then decline over the remainder of the year.

 

Cash provided by operations was $605,000 during the first six months of 2014 compared to the $1,777,000 of cash provided during the first six months of 2013. The Company’s operating cash flow during the first six months of 2014 was positive primarily due to non-cash expenses partially offset by a net increase in working capital. The Company’s operating cash flow during the first six months of 2013 was positive primarily due to non-cash expenses as well as the refund of $700,000 of estimated income taxes paid in 2012 partially offset by a net increase in working capital.

 

During the six months ended June 28, 2014, investing activities used $1,504,000 of cash compared to $755,000 of cash used in the prior year’s period. Capital expenditures during the first six months of 2014 were $1,505,000 compared to $816,000 during the corresponding 2013 period. The increase in capital expenditures during the first six months of 2014 were incurred by the CACS segment primarily related to the increase in sales.

 

10



 

Financing activities during the first six months of 2014 provided $992,000 compared to using $375,000 during the comparable 2013 period. As noted above, the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement called for the payoff of the then outstanding balance of the term loan ($3,408,000) with borrowings against the new revolving line of credit. During the first six months of 2014, the Company borrowed a net of $4,400,000 against the new revolving line of credit including the funds used to retire the term loan. As of June 28, 2014, the balance borrowed against the new revolving line totaled $5,400,000. During the first six months of 2013, scheduled term debt repayments of $250,000 were made. The Company also purchased $125,000 of Company stock in June 2013.

 

As discussed in Note 10, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement effective June 28, 2014. As of June 28, 2014 the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Agreement, as amended. The Company expects to be in compliance with all loan covenants for all succeeding Computation Periods.

 

Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement

 

As discussed in Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report, the Company amended its Credit Agreement effective March 20, 2014 such that the Company now has a Revolving Commitment of $18,000,000 and no term debt. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventories, machinery, equipment, vehicles, certain real estate and the common stock of all of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Company entered into a Third Amendment to Credit Agreement effective June 28, 2014 to defer the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio covenant until the third quarter of fiscal 2014 and to add a minimum EBITDA requirement of $2,000,000 for the twelve months ended June 28, 2014, which the Company has met. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are limited to 80% of eligible accounts receivable, the lesser of 50% of eligible inventories or $8,500,000 plus the lesser of 80% of new capital expenditures not to exceed $4,000,000 in the aggregate and $2,000,000 with respect to each of Fiscal Years 2014 and 2015. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest based on a LIBOR or prime rate based option.

 

The Credit Agreement either limits or requires prior approval by the lender of additional borrowings, acquisition of stock of other companies, purchase of treasury shares and payment of cash dividends. Payment of accrued interest is due monthly or at the end of the applicable LIBOR period. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of May 1, 2016.

 

The Company had borrowings against the revolving credit facility of $5,400,000 at June 28, 2014. At all times since the inception of the Credit Agreement, the Company has had sufficient qualifying and eligible assets such that the entire revolving credit facility was available to the Company.

 

The Company believes that its existing cash balance, anticipated cash flow from operations and borrowings available under the Credit Agreement, will be sufficient to cover expected cash needs, including planned capital expenditures, for the next twelve months. The Company expects to be in compliance with all loan covenants for all succeeding Computation Periods.

 

Results of Operations - Comparison of Quarter Ended June 28, 2014 to Quarter Ended June 29, 2013

 

(In the ensuing discussions of the results of operations the Company defines the term gross profit as the amount determined by deducting cost of sales before depreciation, depletion and amortization from sales. The gross profit ratio is gross profit divided by sales.)

 

Consolidated sales in the second quarter of 2014 were $37,367,000, an increase of $4,510,000 or 13.7% compared to the second quarter of 2013. Sales in the CACS segment increased $5,246,000 (44.5%) while sales in the Door segment improved by $124,000 (2.8%). The increase in sales in the CACS segment is reflective of the continuing improvement in the construction markets in the Colorado Springs area as well as the servicing of a wind-energy project in Limon, Colorado with ready mix concrete that represented approximately 22% of the concrete volume for the quarter. Sales in the Heating and Cooling segment improved by $164,000 (3.0%) in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Sales in the Evaporative Cooling segment declined $1,024,000 (9.2%) in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of the prior year.

 

The consolidated gross profit ratio in the second quarter of 2014 was 17.3% compared to 19.9% in the second quarter of 2013. The gross profit ratio declined in the Heating and Cooling and CACS segments, which more than offset improvements in the Door and Evaporative Cooling segments. The decline in the Heating and Cooling segment was largely due to a reduced level of furnace production. The decline in the CACS segment was primarily due to a narrower margin on the wind-energy project. See further discussion of this segment’s results below.

 

11



 

Consolidated selling and administrative expenses, excluding expenses related to the WEI project incurred during the second quarter of 2013, were virtually the same as the year-ago period. As a percentage of consolidated sales, selling and administrative expenses were 12.6% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to 14.2% in the same period of 2013.

 

Depreciation and amortization charges in the second quarter of 2014 were $101,000 less than in the second quarter of 2013. This reduction reflects the reduced level of capital spending in recent years especially in the CACS segment.

 

In the second quarter of 2013, the Company ceased all activities related to WEI and recorded a charge of $662,000 including $225,000 of severance pay and $352,000 to establish a reserve for a note receivable from the sole employee involved with the venture.

 

The operating income in the second quarter of 2014 was $1,034,000 compared to $374,000 in the second quarter of 2013 which included $662,000 of expenses related to WEI. The higher sales and lower depreciation charges were largely offset by the reduction in the gross profit ratio.

 

Interest expense includes interest on outstanding funded debt, finance charges on outstanding letters of credit, the fee on the unused revolving credit line and other recurring fees charged by the lending bank. In the second quarter of 2014 interest expense was $110,000 compared to $92,000 in the second quarter of 2013. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding funded debt in the second quarter of 2014, including the fee on the unused line of credit and other recurring bank charges but excluding finance charges on letters of credit, was approximately 5.2% compared to 7.1% in the second quarter of 2013. Average outstanding funded debt in the second quarter of 2014 was $6,231,000. In the second quarter of 2013 average outstanding funded debt was $3,658,000. At the end of the second quarter of 2014 the outstanding funded debt was $5,400,000 compared to $3,658,000 at the end of the second quarter of 2013.

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate reflects federal and state statutory income tax rates adjusted for non-deductible expenses, tax credits and other tax items. The estimated effective income tax rate from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2014 was 34.0% compared to 34.8% for the second quarter of 2013.

 

The Company operates four businesses in two industry groups. The businesses are seasonal, weather sensitive and subject to cyclical factors. The following addresses various aspects of operating performance focusing on the reportable segments within each of the two industry groups.

Concrete, Aggregates and Construction Supplies Segment

 

The product offerings of the CACS segment consist of ready-mix concrete, aggregates and construction supplies.  Ready-mix concrete and aggregates are produced at multiple locations in or near Colorado Springs and Pueblo, Colorado.  Construction supplies encompass numerous products purchased from third party suppliers and sold to the construction trades particularly concrete sub-contractors.  In the second quarter of 2014 concrete, aggregates and construction supplies account for approximately 73%, 20% and 7% of sales of the CACS segment, respectively, including aggregates consumed internally in the production of concrete.  In the second quarter of 2013 the sales mix between concrete, aggregates and construction supplies was 70%, 22% and 8%, respectively. Sales including aggregates consumed internally increased by $6,280,000 (46.2%).  Sales to third parties increased $5,246,000 (44.5%).  The higher sales reflect a continuing improvement in the local construction markets and the servicing of a wind energy project in Limon, Colorado with ready-mix concrete in the second quarter of 2014. Ready mix concrete sales, excluding flow fill material, increased by $4,339,000 (49.4%) in 2014. The wind energy job accounted for $2,687,000 of the higher concrete sales. Concrete volume increased by 42.5%. Exclusive of the wind energy project, concrete volume increased by 13.4%. Average concrete prices, excluding flow fill material, increased by approximately 4.8% compared to 2013. Most of this increase is reflective of higher selling prices. Changes in product mix had a nominal impact on the change in average selling price. While concrete prices have increased, the market remains sharply competitive especially on large construction projects. Cement costs per yard increased by 5.4% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Cement is the highest cost raw material used in the production of ready mix concrete. Batching cash costs per yard increased by 8.2% but delivery cash costs per yard fell by 6.3%. The increase in batching costs and the drop in delivery expenses was primarily related to the servicing of the wind energy job with an on-site portable batch plant. The gross profit ratio from concrete decreased from 11.8% in the second quarter of 2013 to 8.9% in the second quarter of 2014.  The Company estimates that most of the decrease was due to the competitive price on the wind energy job. Sales of flow fill material were not material in either quarter.

 

The CACS segment also produces and sells sand, crushed limestone and gravel (“aggregates”) from various deposits in and around Colorado Springs and Pueblo, Colorado.  In the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 aggregates were produced from four separate locations; two in or near Colorado Springs and two in or near Pueblo. However, the Pikeview Quarry in Colorado Springs was in full production throughout the second quarter of 2014 whereas in 2013 production at the Pikeview Quarry did not resume until the latter part of May 2013. Prior to May 2013 the Pikeview Quarry was shut-down since December 2008 due to a landslide. Sales volume (tons) of construction aggregates, including those used internally in the production of ready mix concrete, increased by 31.5% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013.  Average selling prices increased by 8¢ per ton or approximately 1.3%. The 1.3% price increase reflects a combination of increased selling prices and a higher level of sales of unprocessed fill sand from the company’s sand operation. Fill sand is a lower priced product as it requires no additional processing. Net sales of construction aggregates, including those consumed internally in the production of concrete, increased by 44.6%, including the sales of fill sand. The company’s Colorado Springs’ sand operation also produces industrial sand used in well fracking, the production of stucco and for other purposes. However, as a percentage of total tons of aggregates sold in the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, industrial sand sales were only approximately 1.0% of total aggregate sales volume. The gross profit from all aggregate operations in the second quarter of 2014 was $336,000 compared to $125,000 in the second quarter of 2013. The benefit of a full quarter’s production at the Pikeview Quarry more than offset an increase in the loss from the Pueblo aggregate operation.

 

Sales of construction supplies increased by approximately 20% compared to the prior year quarter. The gross profit rate was one percentage point higher due to the higher sales.

 

Depreciation expenses decreased by $143,000 reflecting a lower level of capital spending in recent years.

 

Selling and administrative expenses were $103,000 higher in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The second quarter of 2013 included a credit for $55,000 related to an insurance claim recovery.

 

The prices of two commodities, cement and diesel fuel, can have a significant effect on the results of operations of this segment.  The Company negotiates cement prices with producers who have production facilities in or near the concrete markets that we serve. The Company may negotiate separate cement prices for large construction projects depending on the demand for and availability of cement from the local producers. The Company buys diesel fuel from local distributors. It may from time to time enter into a short term arrangement with a distributor whereby the price of diesel fuel is fixed for a period of up to six months.  In the past year the Company has not hedged diesel fuel prices. Changes in the cost of these two commodities have a direct effect on the results of operations depending upon whether competitive conditions prevailing in the marketplace enable the Company to adjust its selling prices to recover the increased costs.

Door Segment

 

The Door segment sells hollow metal doors, door frames and related hardware, wood doors, lavatory fixtures and electronic access and security systems. Nearly all of the Door segment’s sales are for commercial and institutional buildings such as schools and healthcare facilities. Approximately 65% to 70% of the sales of the Door segment are related to jobs obtained through a competitive bidding process. Bid prices may be higher or lower than bid prices on similar jobs in the prior year. The Door segment does not track unit sales of the various products through its accounting or management reporting systems. Management relies on the level of the sales backlog, the trend in sales and the gross profit rate in managing the business.

 

Door sales in the second quarter of 2014 were $124,000 (2.8%) more than in the second quarter of the previous year. The construction markets in general and within the State of Colorado in particular continue to demonstrate moderate improvement. Bid prices are still competitive. The gross profit ratio in the second quarter of 2014 was 27.0%, up from 24.8% in 2013. The increase in the gross profit ratio is due to both improved pricing levels and a change in product sales mix.

 

Sales and administrative expenses increased by $81,000 compared to the second quarter of 2013 principally due to increased sales incentive compensation. As a percentage of sales, these expenses were 14.2% and 12.8%, respectively, in the second quarters of 2014 and 2013.

 

The Door segment sales backlog at the end of the second quarter of 2014 was $4,887,000 compared to $5,490,000 a year ago.

Heating and Cooling Segment

 

In the second quarter of 2014, approximately 49% of sales in the Heating and Cooling segment consisted of wall furnaces and heaters. Fan coils also accounted for 49% of the segment’s sales and other products made up the remaining 2%. In the second quarter of 2013 these shares of total segment sales were 54%, 38% and 8%, respectively. Overall sales in the Heating and Cooling segment in the second quarter of 2014 increased by just $164,000 (3.0%) compared to the same period in 2013. Unit shipments of furnaces and heaters are typically low during the second quarter due to warm weather conditions. Unit shipments in the second quarter of 2014 were 16.8% lower than in the second quarter of the prior year. Sales of furnaces and heaters were approximately 10.0% lower in the second quarter of 2014 and average selling prices were about 8.4% higher compared to the same quarter a year ago. The higher selling price is principally the result of product mix.

 

Sales of fan coils increased by approximately $621,000 (28.7%) compared to the second quarter of 2013.  The pace of new construction spending in the lodging industry has improved over the last twelve months. Typically, approximately 90% of the sales of fan coils are custom-made systems for hotels and other commercial buildings. The jobs are obtained through a

 

14



 

competitive bidding process.  Since every bid job is a unique configuration of materials and parts, the company does not track units of sales or production as such unit volume data would not be useful in managing the business. Management focuses on the current level of sales, the sales backlog, and the contribution margin in managing the fan coil business. Contribution margin is an internal measure of profitability for a product or product line. Contribution margin is measured by deducting variable manufacturing costs and variable selling expenses from sales for a particular product line. The fan coil contribution margin percentage in the second quarter of 2014 was at a satisfactory level, about one percentage point lower than in the second quarter of 2013. The fan coil sales backlog at the end of the second quarter of 2014 was approximately $1,924,000 compared to $583,000 a year ago.

 

The Heating and Cooling segment’s gross profit ratio for the second quarter of 2014 was 17.5% compared to 23.9% for the second quarter of 2013. The lower gross profit ratio is principally related to a lower level of furnace production and the change in product mix as typically profit margins on furnaces and heaters are higher than the margin on fan coils.

 

Selling and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2014 were $63,000 lower than during the second quarter of the previous year due to the lower furnace sales and a reduction in provisions for incentive compensation. As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative expenses were 21.7% in the second quarter of 2014 compared to 23.5% in the second quarter of 2013.

 

Evaporative Cooling Segment

 

Unit sales of evaporative coolers in the second quarter of 2014 were 13.1% lower compared to the second quarter of 2013. Sales of evaporative coolers in the second quarter of 2014 decreased by $1,024,000, approximately 9.2%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Average selling prices per unit, including parts sales, were approximately 4.7% higher compared to a year ago. Sales of parts were higher in 2014 accounting for an increase of 2.1%. There was a higher ratio of single inlet and commercial coolers sold in the second quarter of 2014 compared to the second quarter of 2013. The single inlet and commercial coolers are higher priced compared to standard residential models. This change in product sales mix accounted for the balance of the increase in average selling prices. The gross profit ratio in the second quarter of 2014 was 25.5% compared to 25.1% a year ago. Selling and administrative expenses were only $20,000 (1.8%) lower in the second quarter of 2014. As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative expenses were 10.7% and 9.9% in the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Both businesses in the HVAC group are sensitive to changes in prices for a number of different raw materials, commodities and purchased parts. Prices of steel and copper in particular can have a significant effect on the results of operations of this group. We are not currently a party to any hedging arrangements with regard to steel or copper.

 

Results of Operations - Comparison of Six Months Ended June 28, 2014 to Six Months Ended June 29, 2013

 

(In the ensuing discussions of the results of operations the Company defines the term gross profit as the amount determined by deducting cost of sales before depreciation, depletion and amortization from sales. The gross profit ratio is gross profit divided by sales.)

 

Consolidated sales in the first half of 2014 were $64,191,000, an increase of $5,121,000 or 8.7% compared to the first six months of 2013. Sales in the CACS segment increased $7,747,000 (39.5%) while sales in the Door segment improved by $295,000 (3.6%). The increase in sales in the CACS segment is reflective of the continuing improvement in the construction markets in the Colorado Springs area as well as the servicing of a large industrial project during the second quarter as noted above. Sales in the Heating and Cooling segment declined $2,471,000 compared to the prior year period. The Company believes that colder temperatures in the first quarter of 2013 throughout California, a principal wall furnace market, drove wall furnace shipments to higher than normal levels in the during the first three months of 2013. Sales in the Company’s Evaporative Cooler segment were modestly lower in the first half of 2014 compared to the first six months of 2013.

 

The consolidated gross profit ratio in the first half of 2014 was 16.0% compared to 18.2% in the first six months of 2013. The gross profit ratio in the Heating and Cooling segment declined by 6.6 points due to lower sales, an unfavorable change in sales mix and reduced furnace production. The gross profit ratio in the CACS and Door segments improved while the gross profit ration in the Evaporative Cooler segment remained unchanged.

 

Selling and administrative expenses in the first half of 2014 were $313,000 (3.4%) higher compared to the year-ago period, excluding expenses related to the WEI project during the first six months of 2013. Higher credit and collection charges as well as legal expenses in CACS were the primary causes of the increase. Lesser increases in selling and administrative expenses were reported by the Door and Evaporative Cooler segments during the first half of 2014 however these were largely offset by reductions in the Heating and Cooling segment as well as the Corporate Office. As a percentage of consolidated sales, selling and administrative expenses were 14.7% in the first half of 2014 compared to 15.5% in the same period of the prior year.

 

15



 

Depreciation and amortization charges in the first half of 2014 were $178,000 less than in the first six months of 2013. This reduction reflects the reduced level of capital spending in the past three years especially in the CACS segment.

 

The expenses of the WEI project in the first half of 2013 were $710,000 and were largely the same as those described in the discussion of the results for the second quarter. The Company does not expect any future expenses related to WEI.

 

The operating loss in the first half of 2014 was $651,000 compared to an operating loss of $49,000 ($759,000 including WEI expenses) in the first six months of the prior year. The decline in operating results is attributable primarily to the Heating and Cooling segment for the reasons noted in the above discussion of the gross profit ratio. The decline in the Heating and Cooling segment more than offset the improved sales and gross profit ratio reported by the CACS segment. The operating profit of the Door segment was largely offset by a decline in the operating profit of the Evaporative Cooling segment.

 

In the first half of 2014 net interest expense was $209,000 compared to $179,000 in the first half of 2013. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding funded debt in the first six months of 2014, including the availability fee on the unused line of credit and other recurring bank charges but excluding finance charges on letters of credit was approximately 5.2% compared to 7.5% in the first half of 2013. Average outstanding funded debt in the first half of 2014 was $5,175,000 compared to $3,721,000 in the first half of 2013.

 

The Company’s effective income tax rate reflects federal and state statutory income tax rates adjusted for non-deductible expenses, tax credits and other tax items. The estimated effective income tax rate related to the loss from continuing operations in the first half of 2014 was 34.0% compared to 33.1% for the first six months of 2013.

 

A discussion of operations by segment follows.

Concrete, Aggregates and Construction Supplies Segment

 

In the first six months of 2014 concrete, aggregates and construction supplies account for approximately 71%, 21% and 8% of sales of the CACS segment, respectively, including aggregates consumed internally in the production of concrete. In the first half of 2013 the sales mix among concrete, aggregates and construction supplies was 69%, 22% and 9%, respectively. Sales including aggregates consumed internally increased by $9,067,000 (40.0%). Sales to third parties increased $7,747,000 (39.5%).  As in the discussion related to the quarterly results, the higher sales reflect a continuing improvement in the local construction markets and the servicing of the wind energy project in Limon, Colorado. Ready mix concrete sales, excluding flow fill material, increased by

 

16



 

$5,923,000 (40.6%) in 2014. The wind energy job accounted for $2,687,000 of the higher concrete sales. Concrete volume increased by 32.3%. Exclusive of the wind energy job, ready mix volume increased by 14.8%. Average concrete prices, excluding flow fill material, increased by 6.3% compared to the first half of 2013. Most of this increase is reflective of higher selling prices. Changes in product mix had a nominal impact on the change in average selling price. While concrete prices have increased, the market remains sharply competitive especially on large construction projects. Cement costs per yard increased by 6.1% in the first half of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. Cement is the highest cost raw material used in the production of ready mix concrete. Batching cash costs per yard increased by 4.6% while cash delivery costs per yard were 1.9% lower in the 2014. As in the second quarter the increase in the batching costs and the decrease in delivery expenses were primarily related to the servicing of the wind energy job with an on-site portable batch plant. The gross profit ratio from concrete decreased from 7.5% in the first half of 2013 to 6.1% in 2014. Again, the Company estimates that most of the decrease in the gross profit ratio was due to the competitive price on the wind energy job. Sales of flow fill material were not material in the first half of either year.

 

In the first half of 2014 and 2013 aggregates were produced from four separate locations; two in or near Colorado Springs and two in or near Pueblo. However, as noted in the discussion of the second quarter results, in 2014 the Pikeview Quarry was in full production throughout the first half of 2014 while in 2013 production there recommenced in the latter part of May. Sales volume (tons) of construction aggregates, including those used internally in the production of ready mix concrete, increased by 21.7% in 2014. Average selling prices increased by approximately 48¢ per ton or approximately 7.9%. The higher price is largely reflective of increased selling prices. The gravel operation located on the east side of Pueblo continues to experience a high ratio of sand to rock. Much of the sand under current market conditions is not readily salable. The low yield has an adverse impact on unit costs and gross profits at the Pueblo aggregate operation. This operation’s loss in the first half of 2014 was $343,000 higher than in the first six months of 2013. However, the Pikeview Quarry returned to profitability with a full six months of production. Its gross profit result represented a $579,000 improvement compared to the first half of 2013. Industrial sand sales were only approximately 1.0% of total aggregate sales volume in both years. The gross profit from all aggregate operations in the first half of 2014 was slightly better than break-even compared to a loss of $439,000 in the first six months of 2013.

 

Sales of construction supplies increased by $366,000 (18.9%) in the first half of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. The gross profit ratio improved from 6.13% to 8.54% principally due to the higher sales.

 

Depreciation expenses decreased by $265,000 in the first half of 2014 compared to the first half of 2013 due to a lower level of capital spending in recent years.

 

Selling and administrative expenses were $172,000 higher in the first six months of 2014 compared to the same period in 2013. In part, the higher level of expense reflects an insurance claim recovery in 2013 and higher credit card processing fees related to the increased sales volume in 2014.

 

Door Segment

 

Door sales in the first half of 2014 were $295,000 (3.6%) more than in the first six months of the previous year. As previously noted, the construction markets in general and within the State of Colorado continue to exhibit moderate improvement. The gross profit ratio in the first half of 2014 was 26.3%, compared to 22.2% in 2013. The improvement in the gross profit ratio is reflective of enhanced pricing levels from extremely competitive levels in the first half of 2013 and a change in product sales mix.

 

Sales and administrative expenses in the first half of 2014 increased by $76,000 compared to the first six months of 2013 principally due to higher incentive compensation. As a percentage of sales, these expenses were 14.3% and 13.9%, respectively, in the first six months of 2014 and 2013.

Heating and Cooling Segment

 

In the first half of 2014, approximately 63% of sales in the Heating and Cooling segment consisted of wall furnaces and heaters.  Fan coils accounted for 35% of the segment’s sales and other products made up the remaining 2%. In the first six months of 2013 these shares of total segment sales were 71%, 24% and 5%, respectively. Overall sales in the Heating and Cooling segment in the first six months of 2014 decreased by $2,471,000 (16.4%) compared to the same period in 2013.  Unit shipments of furnaces and heaters were 34.3% lower in the first half of 2014 compared to 2013. In the first quarter of 2013 colder temperatures throughout California drove furnace and heater sales to well above normal levels. Temperatures in the first quarter of 2014 in California were substantially warmer. The average selling price of furnaces and heaters in the first half of 2014 was approximately 8.8% higher than the previous year. As in the second quarter, the increase in the average price in the first half of 2014 is largely a function of the product sales mix.

 

Sales of fan coils increased by approximately $728,000 (19.5%) compared to the first six months of 2013. The increase in sales is reflective of increased construction spending in the lodging industry. Contribution margin is an internal measure of profitability for a product or product line. Contribution margin is measured by deducting variable manufacturing costs and variable selling expenses from sales for a particular product line. The fan coil contribution margin percentage in the first half of 2014 was at a satisfactory level and, as in the second quarter, about 1.0 percentage points lower than the first six months of 2013.

 

The Heating and Cooling segment’s gross profit ratio for the first six months of 2014 was 21.0% compared to 27.6% for the first half of 2013. The lower gross profit ratio is principally related to a reduced level of furnace production and the change in product mix as typically profit margins on furnaces and heaters are higher than the margin on fan coils.

 

Selling and administrative expenses in the first half of 2014 were essentially unchanged compared to the first six month of 2013. As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative expenses were 22.2% in the first half of 2014 compared to 18.2% in the first half of 2013.

 

Evaporative Cooling Segment

 

Unit sales of evaporative coolers in the first half of 2014 were down 6.6% compared to the first six months of 2013. The decrease in unit shipments all occurred in the first quarter of the year. Sales of evaporative coolers in the first half of 2014 decreased by $422,000, approximately 2.6%, compared to the same period in the prior year. Average selling prices per unit were approximately 4.5% higher compared to a year ago. Parts sales were higher in 2014 accounting for approximately one-half of the increase in the average price. As in the second quarter there was a higher ratio of single inlet and commercial coolers sold in the first half of 2014 compared to the same period 2013. The single inlet and commercial coolers are higher priced compared to standard residential models. The change in product mix accounted for the balance of the increase in the average price.  The gross profit ratio in the first six months of 2014 was 24.4%, unchanged from the first half of 2013. Selling and administrative expenses were only $57,000 (2.9%) higher in the first half of 2014. As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative expenses were 12.6% and 11.9% in the first half of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013 and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Information with respect to the Company’s critical accounting policies, which the Company believes could have the most significant effect on the Company’s reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management, is contained in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The revenues of the CACS segment are dependent on the level of construction activity along the Front Range in Southern Colorado as well as the level of selling price. Construction activity has exhibited modest and thus far sustained improvement during the past eighteen months in the Colorado Springs markets; however construction activity in the Pueblo markets remains depressed. Concrete pricing has also improved although the pricing on most bid jobs remains highly competitive. The Company anticipates further improvement in the CACS segment operating results will depend on a sustained improvement in the Colorado Springs construction markets, the recovery of the Pueblo markets and the ability to maintain or enhance ready mix concrete prices especially in response to any increases in cement and/or fuel costs.

 

The Door segment’s sales are also, to a significant extent, reliant on new construction. Bidding activity remains at a healthy level; however the sales backlog of the Door segment at June 28, 2014 declined 11% compared to the June 29, 2013 level.

 

July typically marks the end of the selling season for evaporative coolers.

 

In-season furnace sales later this year will be largely weather-dependent. Fan coil sales are generally driven by the level of commercial construction, particularly the development of new hotels. Recent sales and bidding activity indicate that the commercial construction market is improving with 2014 year-to-date fan coil sales increasing 19.5% over the prior year period and an increase in the backlog of over 200% from a very weak level at June 29, 2013.

 

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
