NOTE 1 — General Information

Organization and Nature of Business

ARC Group Worldwide, Inc. (referred to herein as the “Company” or “ARC”) was organized under the laws of the State of Utah on September 30, 1987.

On August 8, 2012, ARC completed the acquisition of Quadrant Metals Technology, LLC (referred to herein as “QMT” or the “Predecessor”) and Advanced Forming Technology (“AFT”).  QMT was formed in March 2011 to function as a holding company for a group of diversified manufacturing and distribution companies.  Upon formation, QMT acquired controlling interests in TeknaSeal LLC (“TeknaSeal”) and FloMet LLC (“FloMet”) as of May 1, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively.  Subsequently, QMT acquired General Flange & Forge (“GF&F”) as of April 18, 2011.  Of note, while QMT was formed in 2011, affiliated companies have held controlling interests in FloMet and TeknaSeal for over 10 years.

AFT is comprised of two operating units, AFT-U.S. and AFT Hungary.  In April 2014, ARC acquired in separate transactions Advance Tooling Concepts, LLC (“ATC”) and Thixoforming LLC (“Thixoforming”).  In June 2014, ARC acquired substantially all of the assets of Kecy Corporation and 411 Munson Holding (collectively referred to herein as “Kecy”).

Everest Hill Group Inc. (“Everest Hill Group”) has been the Company’s majority stockholder since 2008.  ARC and Everest Hill Group are under common control.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The Company’s fiscal year begins July 1 and ends June 30, with the interim quarterly reporting periods consisting of thirteen weeks.  Therefore, the quarter end will not always coincide with the date of the end of the calendar month.

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the amounts of ARC and its controlled subsidiaries.  All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

NOTE 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Estimates are used for, among other things: allowances for doubtful accounts; inventory write-downs; valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; uncertain tax positions; valuation and useful lives of long-term assets including property, equipment, intangible assets, and goodwill; contingencies; and the fair value of assets and liabilities obtained in business combinations.  Due to the inherent uncertainties in making estimates, actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of average cost using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or market.  It is the Company’s practice to provide a valuation allowance for inventories to account for actual market pricing deflation and inventory shrinkage.

6

Table of Contents

Management actively reviews this inventory to determine that all materials are for products still in production to determine any potential obsolescence issues.

Plant and Equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at cost or acquisition date fair value less accumulated depreciation.  Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.  Major additions and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance, and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred.

Goodwill, Intangibles and Other Long-lived Assets

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually in June of each fiscal year, or more frequently if a triggering event occurs between impairment testing dates.  The Company’s impairment assessment begins with a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value.  The qualitative assessment includes comparing the overall financial performance of the reporting units against historical financial results.  Additionally, each reporting unit’s fair value is assessed in light of certain events and circumstances, including macroeconomic conditions, industry, and market considerations, and other relevant entity and reporting unit specific events.  If it is determined under the qualitative assessment that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then a two-step quantitative impairment test is performed.  Under the first step, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value (including goodwill).  If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, step two does not need to be performed.  If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an indication of goodwill impairment exists for the reporting unit and the enterprise must perform step two of the impairment test (measurement).  Under step two, an impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill.  The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in acquisition accounting.  The residual fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill.  Fair value of the reporting unit under the two-step assessment is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis.  The selection and assessment of qualitative factors used to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value involves significant judgments and estimates.  There were no impairments of goodwill recognized during the nine months ended March 29, 2015 or March 30, 2014.

Intangible assets (identified as patents, trademarks, customer relationships, non-compete agreements, and other) are recorded at fair value at the time of acquisition.  Finite-lived intangibles are stated at cost less accumulated amortization.  Amortization is recorded using the straight-line method, which approximates the expected pattern of economic benefit, over the estimated lives of the assets.

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived tangible and finite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset group may not be recoverable.  Factors that would require an impairment assessment include, among other things, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, a continual decline in the Company’s operating performance, or as a result of fundamental changes in a subsidiary’s business condition.

Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by comparing their carrying amount to the projected cash flows the assets are expected to generate.  If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment loss recognized, if any, is the amount by which the carrying amount of the finite-lived intangible assets exceeds fair value.  There were no impairments of long-lived assets during the nine months ended March 29, 2015 or March 30, 2014.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of sales tax, trade discounts and customer returns.  The Company recognizes revenue when the earnings process is complete.  This generally occurs when products are shipped to the customer in accordance with the contract or purchase order, ownership and risk of loss have passed to the customer, collectability is reasonably assured, and pricing is fixed and determinable.  In instances where title does not pass to the customer upon shipment, the Company recognizes revenue upon delivery or customer acceptance, depending on terms of the sales agreement.  Service sales, representing maintenance and engineering activities, are recognized as services are performed.  Products are generally shipped free-on-board from our facilities, the customer pays freight costs and assumes all liability.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The majority of these expenditures consist of salaries for engineering and manufacturing personal and fees paid to consultants for services rendered.  For the three and nine months ended March 29, 2015, the Company incurred $323 thousand and $1.0 million, respectively, and $100 thousand for both the three and nine months ended March 30, 2014, for research and development. These amounts are included in selling, general, and administrative expense on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations

Non-Controlling Interest

In connection with the acquisitions of FloMet and TeknaSeal, the Company obtained a majority interest in the subsidiaries and control of the subsidiaries’ boards of directors.  Third party investors own approximately 4% of the outstanding shares of FloMet and approximately 6% of the outstanding shares of TeknaSeal.  Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial position of these subsidiaries for the periods reported and the results of operations of these subsidiaries since the dates of acquisitions.  The Company has recognized the net income attributable to the non-controlling interest in the Company’s subsidiaries in the Statements of Operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

From time to time, the FASB or other standard setting bodies issue new accounting pronouncements.  Updates to the ASC are communicated through issuance of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”).

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which requires an entity to report a disposal of a component of an entity in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component of an entity meets certain criteria to be classified as held for sale when the component of an entity is disposed of by a sale or disposed of other than by a sale.  Further, additional disclosures about discontinued operations should include the following for the periods in which the results of operations of the discontinued operations are presented in the statement of operations: the major classes of line items constituting pretax profit or loss of discontinued operations; total operating and investing cash flows of discontinued operations; depreciation, amortization, capital expenditures, and significant operating and investing noncash items of discontinued operations; pretax profit or loss attributable to the parent if a discontinued operation includes a non-controlling interest; a reconciliation of major classes of assets, liabilities of the discontinued operation classified as held for sale; and a reconciliation of major classes of line items constituting the pretax profit or loss of the discontinued operation.  This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal year 2016, and will impact the Company’s assessment of any future discontinued operations.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP.  The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration

8

Table of Contents

that is expected to be received for those goods or services.  ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing U.S. GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation.  ASU 2014-09 is effective in the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2017 using either of two methods: (i) retrospective to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09; or (ii) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per ASU 2014-09.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of its pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.  In April 2015, the FASB announced it plans to propose extending the deadline for the adoption of ASU 2014-09 by one year.

NOTE 3 — Business Acquisitions

Advance Tooling Concepts

On April 7, 2014, the Company acquired the membership interests of ATC (referred to herein as the “ATC Acquisition”) for $24.3 million.  A portion of the purchase price, $2.4 million, was placed into escrow for a period of 12 months (referred to herein as the “ATC Escrow”) to satisfy certain working capital adjustments and/or indemnification obligations.  Under the terms of the ATC escrow arrangement, the ATC Escrow was secured by newly issued shares of the Company equal to 125% of the amount that would be paid in cash.  In July 2014, the ATC Escrow was reduced by $0.7 million following the completion of the working capital adjustment.  The Company determined the common stock held in escrow was mandatory redeemable and therefore recorded $1.7 million as a current liability in the accompanying balance sheet.  The Company is currently negotiating a final settlement with the Seller.

ATC is a plastic injection molding company offering complete plastic injection molding capabilities, as well as in-house molding and tooling expertise, to customers.  This acquisition strengthens the Company’s ability to: (i) offer customers a suite of advanced manufacturing products and services; and (ii) increase the speed-to-market of customer products.  The total purchase price for the acquisition of ATC was as follows:

The Company recognized the assets and liabilities of ATC based on their acquisition date fair values.  The fair value of ATC’s property and equipment was estimated using a “cost approach” and a “market approach.”  The cost approach uses reproduction or replacement cost, adjusted for estimated depreciation, to value the assets.  The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving similar assets.  Identified intangible assets were measured at fair value primarily using “income approaches,” which required a forecast of expected future cash flows, either for the use of a relief-from royalty method or a multi-period excess earnings method.  The aggregate purchase price exceeds the aggregate estimated fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities by $2.8 million, which amount has been recognized as goodwill. Goodwill associated with this acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of ATC at the acquisition date.

The determination of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, and the related determination of estimated lives of depreciable tangible and identifiable intangible assets, requires significant judgment.  The fair values of acquired assets and liabilities were revised from the estimated values initially filed on Form 8-K/A on June 24, 2014 as a result of the Company’s normal process for determining the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities.  Revisions were made primarily to assign fair values to acquired intangible assets of $15.8 million and property and equipment of $1.5 million that had previously been provisionally recorded as goodwill.  Other adjustments to current assets, totaling $1.4 million, and current liabilities, totaling $1.3 million, resulted from the same normal process for determining fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities.  During the quarter ended September 28, 2014, the Company revised the fair values of current liabilities assumed and goodwill by $40 thousand.  The Company will complete its determinations of the fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities by April 6, 2015.  The final determinations may be significantly different than those reflected in its Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 29, 2015.  The results of ATC’s operations have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Results of Operations beginning as of the acquisition date of April 7, 2014.

Kecy

On June 25, 2014, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Kecy Corporation and 411 Munson Holding (referred to herein as the “Kecy Acquisition”) for approximately $26.8 million.  A portion of the purchase price, $2.6 million, was placed into escrow for a period of 18 months (referred to herein as the “Kecy Escrow”) to satisfy certain working capital adjustments and/or indemnification obligations.  Under the terms of the Kecy escrow arrangement, the Kecy Escrow was secured by newly issued shares of the Company equal to the amount that would be paid in cash.  To the extent the escrow has not been drawn upon, the escrow shares will be replaced by cash and paid to the seller, with the stock released from escrow and placed into treasury.  As a result, the Company has determined the common stock held in escrow is mandatory redeemable and have therefore recorded $2.6 million as a current liability in the accompanying balance sheet as of March 29, 2015.

Kecy is a precision metal stamping company and offers value-added secondary design and production processing.  The acquisition allows ARC to provide its customers metal stamping applications in order to offer a more holistic solution and increase the speed-to-market.  The total purchase price for the acquisition of Kecy was as follows:

The Company recognized the assets and liabilities of Kecy based on their acquisition date fair values.  The fair value of Kecy’s tangible assets was estimated using both a “cost approach” and a “market approach” depending on the property.  A cost approach is based on estimating the cost of constructing the building, less depreciation, plus land.  A market approach uses

Table of Contents

prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving comparable assets.  Identified intangible assets were measured at fair value primarily using “income approaches,” which required a forecast of expected future cash flows for the use of a relief-from royalty and excess earnings methods.

The aggregate purchase price exceeds the aggregate estimated fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities by $500 thousand, which has been recognized as goodwill. Goodwill associated with this acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Kecy at the acquisition date.

The determination of the fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, and the related determination of estimated lives of depreciable tangible and identifiable intangible assets, requires significant judgment. The fair value amounts related to the acquisition of Kecy are provisional and the Company will complete its final determination no later than June 24, 2015.  The final determination may be significantly different than the provisional amounts.  When amounts previously recognized as provisional are finalized, they are reported at their final amounts as though they had been completed as of the acquisition date. Changes to fair values are adjusted retrospectively in the current period financial statements.

The fair values of acquired assets and liabilities were revised from the estimated values initially filed on Form 8-K/A on September 8, 2014 as a result of the Company’s normal process for determining the fair value of acquired assets and assumed liabilities.  Revisions were made primarily to assign fair values to acquired intangible assets of $4.1 million that had previously been recorded provisionally as goodwill.  Other adjustments to current assets, totaling $(1.5) million, and current liabilities, totaling $(0.6) million, resulted from the same normal process for determining fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities. During the three month period ended December 28, 2014, the Company retrospectively adjusted its reported assignment of the aggregate consideration for a change to its original estimate of the fair value of inventory due a change in accounting for supplies.  As a result of this revision, inventory increased by $925 thousand and goodwill decreased by the same amount.  The results of Kecy’s operations have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Results of Operations beginning as of the acquisition date of June 25, 2014.

Pro Forma Financial Information (Unaudited)

The historical operating results of ATC and Kecy have not been included in the Company’s historical consolidated operating results prior to their acquisition dates.  The following unaudited pro forma information presents the combined results of continuing operations for the nine months ended March 30, 2014 as if the acquisitions had been completed on July 1, 2012.  The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect any material adjustments, operating efficiencies or potential cost savings that may result from the consolidation of operations but do reflect certain adjustments expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results.

Other Acquisition

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014, the Company acquired Thixoforming, a provider of magnesium injection molding products to add further capacity to the Company’s position in the injection molding industry.  This acquisition was not significant to the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position.  The provisional fair value for this acquisition is subject to change as certain information as of the date of the acquisition is evaluated during the measurement period, not to exceed one year subsequent to the acquisition date.  Pro forma results have not been presented as they would not be materially different from the Company’s actual results.

NOTE 4 - Fair Value Measurements

The fair value guidance establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements.  The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.  The three levels of inputs are defined as follows:

·                  Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

·                  Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

·                  Level 3 - Unobservable inputs when little or no market data is available.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company did not have cash equivalents at March 29, 2015 and June 30, 2014.

Cash held in financial institutions outside the United States to support existing operations and planned growth totaled $0.7 million and $0.6 million as of March 29, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively.  The Company’s Hungarian subsidiary, where these funds are held, is taxed in a similar manner to its domestic subsidiaries.  Thus, the Company would not incur a tax obligation should it decide to repatriate these funds.

The Company values its debt using Level 3 unobservable inputs.  As the interest rates on the debt are variable, the carrying amount approximates fair market value.

Amended & Restated Credit Agreement

On November 10, 2014 (the “Effective Date”), the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Citizens Bank (the “Amended & Restated Credit Agreement”), which amends and restates the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 7, 2014 (the “Original Credit Agreement”), as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2014 (the “June 2014 Amendment”), by and among the Company and its certain subsidiaries, Citizens Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, issuing bank and swingline lender, and Capital One, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and other lenders from time to time party thereto, regarding loans and extensions of credit in the principal amount of up to $90.0 million. In consideration for the Company and its subsidiaries entering into the Amended & Restated Credit Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders waived non-compliance of the Company and its subsidiaries with respect to certain covenants in the Original Credit Agreement and the June 2014 Amendment. On December 23, 2014, the parties to the Amended & Restated Credit Agreement entered into a first amendment (the “Citizens First Amendment”)  to make technical corrections and to clarify, among other matters, that mandatory prepayments of the loans will not be required in connection with any issuance of equity interests of the Company so long as the Company’s senior leverage ratio is less than 2.25:1.00 and the proceeds thereof are utilized within 90 days to (i) finance a permitted acquisition or other permitted investments; or (ii) to finance consolidated capital expenditures.  If after issuance of equity interests the Company’s senior leverage ratio is greater than 2.25:1.00 (as calculated on a pro forma basis), then the proceeds of the issuance of the equity interests will be utilized as follows: 100% of the amount, if any, of such net cash proceeds necessary to reduce the senior leverage ratio to 2.75:1.00 on a pro forma basis, plus (y) 75% of the balance, if any, of such net cash proceeds remaining, to the extent necessary to reduce the Senior Leverage Ratio to 2.25:1.00 on a Pro Forma Basis, plus (z) 50% of the balance, if any, of such net cash proceeds remaining.  In the event that any proceeds from the issuance of equity interests are to be applied as cure amounts under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, then 100% of such net cash proceeds will be required to be paid as mandatory prepayments of the loans.

The Amended & Restated Credit Agreement has several borrowing options, including interest rates that are based on: (i) a defined Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus a margin based on the applicable Leverage Ratio, payable monthly; or (ii) an Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin based on the applicable Leverage Ratio, payable at the end of the applicable interest period for the borrowing and, for interest periods in excess of three months, on the date that is three months after the commencement of the interest period. The Base Rate represents a rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) Citizens Bank’s then publicly announced prime rate, (b) Federal Funds Rate as then in effect plus 1/2 of 1.0% or (c) the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as then in effect plus 1.0%. At March 29, 2015, interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Agreement ranged from 4.2% to 6.25%.

Subsequent to the period covered by this Report, on April 8, 2015, the Company sold 3,450,000 shares of ARC common stock in a registered public offering at a price of $5.00 per share, including 450,000 shares sold pursuant to a fully-exercised option to purchase additional shares granted to the underwriters by the Company.  The Company received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $15.6 million after underwriting discounts, commissions, fees, and expenses.  The net proceeds were then used to prepay a portion of the principal outstanding under the Amended & Restated Credit Agreement.  On May 11, 2015, as a result of the prepayment, the Company, Citizens Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, issuing bank and swingline lender, and Capital One, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and other lenders entered into the Limited Waiver and Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Citizens Second Amendment”).  Under the terms of the Citizens Second Amendment, the Administrative agent and the lenders agreed to waive certain covenants with respect to which the Company was not in compliance and agreed to exclude from the fixed charge coverage calculation scheduled principal payments on indebtedness for the fiscal quarters ended March 29, 2015 and June 30, 2105.  Aside from the aforementioned items, there have been no other changes to the terms and conditions of the Amended & Restated Credit Agreement.

Subordinated Term Loan Agreement

On the Effective Date, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a subordinated term loan credit agreement with McLarty Capital Partners SBIC, L.P. (“McLarty”) as administrative agent, and other lenders from time to time party thereto (“Subordinated Loan Agreement”), regarding an extension of credit in the form of a subordinated term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million. McLarty is indirectly a related party to one of the officers and directors of the Company, and therefore the Board of Directors appointed a special committee consisting solely of independent directors to

15

Table of Contents

assure that the Subordinated Loan Agreement is fair and reasonable to the Company and its shareholders. On the Effective Date, the Company, using proceeds from the Subordinated Credit Facility, repaid a similar portion of the previously borrowed loans under the Senior Credit Facility. On December 29, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment to the Subordinated Loan Agreement (the “McLarty First Amendment”)  to clarify, among other matters, that mandatory prepayments of the subordinated loans will not be required in connection with any issuance of equity interests of the Company so long as, after satisfaction of mandatory prepayment obligations under the Senior Credit Facility, the Company’s senior leverage ratio is less than 2.25:1.00 and the proceeds thereof are utilized within 90 days to (i) finance a permitted acquisition or other permitted investments; or (ii) to finance consolidated capital expenditures.  If after issuance of equity interests the Company’s senior leverage ratio is greater than 2.25:1.00 (as calculated on a pro forma basis), then the proceeds of the issuance of the equity interests will be utilized as follows: 25% of the amount, if any, of such net cash proceeds necessary to reduce the senior leverage ratio to 2.25:1.00 on a pro forma basis, plus (y) 50% of the balance, if any, of such net cash proceeds remaining, to the extent necessary to reduce the Senior Leverage Ratio to 2.25:1.00.  In the event that any proceeds from the issuance of equity interests are to be applied as cure amounts under the Subordinated Loan Agreement, then 100% of such net cash proceeds will be required to be paid as mandatory prepayments of the subordinated loans.

The subordinated term loan under the Subordinated Loan Agreement will mature five years after the Effective Date. The interest rate set forth in the Subordinated Loan Agreement is 11.00% per annum. Upon an event of default under the Credit Agreement, the interest rate increases automatically by 2.00% per annum. The Subordinated Loan Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, events of default, affirmative covenants and negative covenants and prepayment terms that are substantially similar to those contained in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Subordinated Loan Agreement has been subordinated to the Amended & Restated Credit Agreement pursuant to First Lien Subordination Agreement.

The credit agreements governing our Senior Credit Facility and the Subordinated Credit Facility require us to comply with a number of customary financial and other covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage and leverage ratios in certain situations and maintaining insurance coverage. These covenants may limit our flexibility in our operations, and breaches of these covenants could result in defaults under the instruments governing the applicable indebtedness even if we had satisfied our payment obligations. If we were to default on the credit agreements or other debt instruments, our financial condition would be adversely affected.

The following schedule represents the Company’s future debt payments as of March 29, 2015:

(1)         Represents long-term debt principal payments for the three month period ending June 30, 2015.

(2)         Amount includes the Senior secured revolving commitment

NOTE 9 - Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014 was 34.6% and 34.8 %, respectively.  The effective tax rate for the three months and nine months ended March 29, 2015 was positively impacted by $420 thousand and $312 thousand, respectively, of favorable discrete items recognized during the period.  The Company’s effective tax rate could fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis due to changes in the valuation of its deferred tax assets or liabilities, or by changes in tax laws, regulations, accounting principles or interpretations thereof.

As of March 29, 2015 and June 30, 2014, deferred tax assets of $1.7 million and $1.2 million, respectively, have been included in prepaid and other current assets in the accompanying balance sheets.  There was no non-current portion of deferred tax assets as of March 29, 2015 and $0.3 million as of June 30, 2014, which has been included in other assets.  Current taxes payable of $0.1 million and $1.8 million as of March 29, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively, have been included in accrued expenses.  Long-term deferred tax obligations totaled $0.8 million at March 29, 2015 and there was no long-term deferred tax obligation at June 30, 2014.

A valuation allowance has been established on the Company’s deferred tax assets as realization has not met the more likely-than-not threshold requirement.  The Company evaluates the recoverability of deferred tax assets by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including carrybacks (if applicable), reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies.  If the Company’s judgment changes and it is determined that the Company will be able to realize these deferred tax assets, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance will be accounted for as a reduction to income tax expense.

The amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was $$0.8 million as of March 29, 2015 and $0.7 million as of June 30, 2014, including related liabilities for interest and penalties of $151 thousand and $106 thousand as of March 29, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively.  The liability and related interest have been included in other liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets.

The Company has elected to include the operations of its foreign subsidiary located in Hungary in its U.S. consolidated income tax return, and as such is included in its provision for income taxes. Other foreign earnings for which the Company has not provided for U.S. taxes totaled approximately $0.7 million as of March 29, 2015.

NOTE 10 — Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and dilutive potential common shares for the period.  In connection with the acquisitions of ATC and Kecy, the Company issued a total of 406,238 shares, which were placed in escrow to satisfy certain working capital adjustments and/or indemnification obligations.  To the extent the escrow has not been drawn upon, the escrow shares will be replaced by cash and paid to the seller.  As these shares are not expected to be released, these shares have been excluded from the basic and diluted share computations.  As of March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, the Company had no outstanding stock equity awards, therefore there was no computation of dilutive securities.
