NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 — BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND OPINION OF MANAGEMENT

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all of the information and financial statement disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein includes all adjustments necessary to reflect a fair presentation of the interim periods reported.  The December 27, 2014 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  References to “we,” “us,” “our,” “its,” “Supreme,” or the “Company” refer to Supreme Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

The Company has adopted a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending the last Saturday in December.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 27, 2015 and June 28, 2014 are for 13-week and 26-week periods, respectively.

NOTE 2 — DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On December 31, 2013, the Company announced its intention to divest its shuttle bus business. The progressively competitive environment in the bus industry led to intensified price cutting, making it more difficult to sustain profitability. Shuttle bus products represented less than 13% of the Company’s consolidated sales for the year ended December 28, 2013, but have had a material adverse effect on reported financial results in recent years.

On February 28, 2014, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) for the sale of certain assets of the Company’s shuttle bus division. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and upon satisfaction of the closing conditions, the Company sold the assets of the shuttle bus operations including machinery and equipment, inventory, trademarks, engineering drawings, bills of materials, customer lists, customer purchasing histories, price lists, distribution lists, supplier lists, production data, quality control records, procedures related to the shuttle bus business, demonstrator vehicles, and all open purchase orders and unexpired governmental and municipal bid contracts. In addition, the purchaser assumed certain warranty obligations.

The Company continued to operate the business for a period of time following the date of the Agreement to finish certain orders.  The transaction closed on March 28, 2014. Net proceeds from the sale were $3.9 million and net assets of the shuttle bus operations sold consisted of inventory of $4.1 million, machinery and equipment of $0.2 million, reduced by a warranty obligation of $0.5 million, resulting in a gain of $0.1 million, net of tax, recorded during the three month period ended March 29, 2014. The Agreement contains a five-year period during which the Company will not compete in the shuttle bus business, with the exception that the non-competition does not apply to the Company’s trolley bus division.

The results for the shuttle bus division are classified as discontinued operations as follows:

NOTE 3 — INVENTORIES

Inventories, which are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined using the first-in, first-out method, consist of the following:

NOTE 4 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.  GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.  The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

Level 2: Significant other 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.

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a company’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of items:

Investments:  The fair values of investments available-for-sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs).

Derivatives:  Our derivative instruments consist of an interest rate swap, currently reflected as other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company obtains fair values from financial institutions that utilize internal models with observable market data inputs to estimate the fair value of these instruments (Level 2 inputs).

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable approximated fair value as of June 27, 2015 and December 27, 2014, because of the relatively short

Table of Contents

maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amount of long-term debt, including current maturities, approximated fair value as of June 27, 2015 and December 27, 2014, based upon terms and conditions available to the Company at those dates in comparison to the terms and conditions of its outstanding long-term debt.

NOTE 5 — LONG-TERM DEBT

Credit Agreement

On December 19, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, Wells Fargo agreed to provide to the Company a credit facility of up to $45.0 million, consisting of a revolving credit facility, a term loan facility, and a letter of credit facility. The Credit Agreement is for a period of five years ending on December 19, 2017.  The Company had unused credit capacity of $35.0 million at June 27, 2015.  Interest on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement is based on Wells Fargo’s prime rate or LIBOR depending on the pricing option selected and the Company’s leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) resulting in an effective interest rate of 2.54% at June 27, 2015 and 2.50% at December 27, 2014.  Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the financial covenants include a consolidated total leverage ratio, a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, and a limitation on annual capital expenditures. On August 27, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment of the Credit Agreement. The amendment changed the cash dividend limit from a percentage of consolidated net income for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter to a flat per fiscal quarter limit of $0.03 per share of capital stock then issued and outstanding.  The Company was in compliance with all provisions of the Credit Agreement upon receipt of a waiver of default.  The Company had a technical event of default caused by payment of cash dividends in excess of $0.03 per share during the first quarter of 2015.  This was caused by the cash dividend declared in the fourth quarter of 2014 being paid on January 2, 2015.

Revolving Credit Facility

The revolving credit facility provides for borrowings of up to $35.0 million. The revolving credit facility bears interest at (i) LIBOR plus a margin which varies from 1.50% to 2.50% based upon a leverage ratio of total indebtedness to trailing four quarter EBITDA or (ii) the higher of (a) the prime rate and (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% plus a margin which varies from 0.50% to 1.50% based upon the debt to EBITDA leverage ratio. The revolving credit facility also requires a quarterly commitment fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.50% per annum depending on the Company’s financial ratios and based upon the average daily unused portion. As of June 27, 2015, and December 27, 2014, there were no borrowings outstanding against the revolving credit facility.

Term Loan Facility

The term loan facility provides for borrowings of up to $10.0 million. Effective April 29, 2013, the Company and Wells Fargo entered into a $10.0 million term loan by converting $10.0 million of revolving credit facility borrowings to term debt. The term loan is secured by real estate and improvements, payable in quarterly installments of $166,667 commencing on June 28, 2013, plus interest at prime rate or LIBOR, with the remaining balance due upon maturity on December 19, 2017. As of June 27, 2015 and December 27, 2014, the outstanding balance under the term loan facility was $8.7 million and $9.0 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

On August 9, 2013, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for a portion of the term loan with a notional amount of $5.0 million. The interest rate swap agreement provides for a 3.1% fixed interest rate and matures on December 19, 2017. The Company designated this swap agreement as a cash flow hedge on its variable rate debt and records the fair value of the swap agreement as an asset or liability on the balance sheet, with changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income (loss).

Letter of Credit Facility

Outstanding letters of credit, related to the Company’s workers’ compensation insurance policies, reduce available borrowings under the Credit Agreement. During 2014, the Company replaced all outstanding letters of credit with cash deposits with its insurance carriers totaling $3.3 million, thereby utilizing idle cash to avoid letters of credit fees and earn interest on the cash deposits.

NOTE 6 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The following table summarizes the activity for the outstanding stock options for the six months ended June 27, 2015:

At June 27, 2015, the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable and the intrinsic value of all options outstanding approximated $1,532,041 and had a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 1.7 years.

The following table summarizes the activity for the unvested restricted stock for the six months ended June 27, 2015:

The total fair value of restricted shares vested and recognized as stock-based compensation expense during the six months ended June 27, 2015 was $269,873.

Beginning in 2012, as a part of annual director compensation, a stock award is paid to each of the Company’s outside directors equal to $27,500 divided by the closing sales price on the grant date. The grants are made in quarterly increments. Shares granted to outside directors during the first six months of 2015 totaled 13,020 and the related stock-based compensation expense recognized during the six months ended June 27, 2015 was $96,250.

Total unrecognized compensation expense related to all share-based awards outstanding at June 27, 2015, was approximately $1,207,429 and is to be recorded over a weighted-average contractual life of 2.3 years.

As of June 27, 2015, 638,929 shares were reserved for the granting of future share-based awards compared to 761,078 shares at December 27, 2014.

NOTE 7 — INCOME TAXES

For the three months ended June 27, 2015, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.0 million at an effective tax rate of 31.9% compared with $2.1 million at an effective tax rate of 32.7% for the three months ended June 28, 2014.  For the six months ended June 27, 2015, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3.0 million at an effective tax rate of 32.0% compared with $2.2 million at an effective tax rate of 32.7% for the six months ended June 28, 2014.  The rates differ from the federal statutory rate primarily because of varying state income tax rates and permanent federal income tax differences including benefits from a captive insurance company and the allowable domestic manufacturer deduction.

NOTE 8 — COMMON STOCK

The Company paid the following cash dividends on its outstanding Class A and Class B Common Stock during the six months ended June 27, 2015:

NOTE 9 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is subject to various investigations, claims, and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities, certain of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance.  The Company establishes accruals for these matters to the extent that losses are deemed probable and are reasonably estimable.  Although the outcome of these matters cannot be fully determined on the basis of information currently available, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate outcome of these matters would not be significant to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

NOTE 10 — RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance on subsequent measurement of inventory, which changes the subsequent measurement guidance from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value.  The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the implementation of this guidance will have on its results of operations or financial condition.

ITEM 2.                                                MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Company Overview

Supreme Industries, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Supreme Corporation, is a leading manufacturer of specialized vehicles including truck bodies, trolleys and specialty vehicles produced to the specifications of its customers. Established in 1974 and based in Goshen, Indiana, the Company has seven manufacturing facilities.  In order to serve major geographic markets, these operations are positioned at strategic locations across the continental United States.

The Company’s transportation equipment products are used by a wide variety of industrial, commercial and law enforcement customers ranging in price from $4,000 to more than $100,000.  Supreme’s truck bodies are offered in aluminum, FiberPanel PW, FiberPanel HC, or SignaturePlate making Supreme the only national truck body company to offer four sidewall options. Most of the Company’s products are

attached to light-duty truck chassis and medium-duty truck chassis.  Supreme integrates a wide range of options into its truck bodies including liftgates, cargo-handling equipment, customized doors, special bumpers, ladder racks, and refrigeration equipment.  Supreme Trolleys are uniquely designed for each customer’s specific transportation application and blends classic styling resembling a San Francisco trolley car with up-to-date features. Specialty Vehicles are designed and customized to move money, dispatch a tactical force, or respond to an emergency to meet many proactive and security needs of its customers.

The Company and its product offerings are affected by various risk factors which include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations, volatility in the supply chain of chassis, and the availability of credit and financing to the Company, its vendors, dealers, or end users.  The Company’s business is also affected by the availability and costs of certain raw materials that serve as significant components of its product offerings. The Company’s risk factors are disclosed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2014.

Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto (see Note 1 “Basis of Presentation and Opinion of Management”) located in Item 1 of this document, and pertain to continuing operations unless otherwise noted.

Overview

Consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 27, 2015 increased 15.4% to $82.6 million in the second quarter, compared with $71.6 million in the second quarter of 2014.  Sales of medium-duty work trucks accelerated in the second quarter of 2015 as our recently-restructured sales organization gained momentum. In the first half of 2015, consolidated net sales increased 16.8% to $145.9 million, compared with $124.9 million in the first half of 2014. Higher net sales in the first half of 2015 were the result of increased truck sales, which more than offset a sales decline of trolleys and specialty vehicles.

Our sales order backlog at the end of the second quarter of 2015 was $74.0 million, up 30.1% compared with $56.8 million, at the end of last year’s second quarter.  Compared with last year, new order intake was stronger in the second quarter of 2015 across both retail and fleet work truck product lines.

Second quarter gross profit in 2015 increased to $15.5 million, up from $14.6 million in 2014 as a result of the increased sales volume.  As a percentage of net sales, second quarter of 2015 gross margin was 18.7%, compared with 20.5% in last year’s second quarter. The margin contraction was due to product mix and a higher proportion of fleet sales, which carry a lower gross margin in 2015 versus 2014.  For the six-month period of 2015, gross margin, as a percentage of net sales, increased to 18.4%, compared with 18.0% in 2014’s first half. This, combined with the higher sales volume, resulted in first-half gross profit increasing 19.5% to $26.9 million, compared with $22.5 million in last year’s comparable period. Severe weather and a shortage of available chassis negatively impacted last year’s results, factors not experienced in 2015.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 11.8%, to $9.3 million for the three months ended June 27, 2015, as compared with $8.3 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014.  Selling and general and administrative expenses increased by $1.9 million to $17.7 million for the six months ended June 27, 2015, as compared with $15.8 million for the six months ended June 28, 2014.  The expense increases were due to higher sales wages and related costs as the Company enhanced its market presence by adding and upgrading sales personnel in key regions, profit-based incentive compensation plans and higher salary costs related to annual merit increases.

For the three months ended June 27, 2015, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.0 million at an effective tax rate of 31.9% compared with $2.1 million at an effective tax rate of 32.7% for the three months ended June 28, 2014.  For the six months ended June 27, 2015, the Company recorded income tax expense of $3.0 million at an effective tax rate of 32.0% compared with $2.2 million at an effective tax rate of 32.7% for the six months ended June 28, 2014. Income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 27, 2015 was $4.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared with income from continuing operations of $4.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share for the three months ended June 28, 2014.  Income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 27, 2015 was $6.3 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared with net income of $4.5 million, or $0.26 per diluted share for the comparable period last year.

On December 31, 2013, the Company announced its intention to divest its shuttle bus business. The decision to divest the shuttle bus business was made to help improve stockholder value by reallocating resources where they are expected to earn a higher return.  The progressively competitive environment in the bus industry led to intensified price cutting, making it more difficult to sustain profitability.  Shuttle bus products represented less than 13% of the Company’s consolidated 2013 sales, but had a material adverse effect on financial results.  On February 28, 2014, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale of certain assets of the Company’s shuttle bus operations.  Accordingly, the Company classified the results as discontinued operations.  For the six months ended June 28, 2014, the after-tax loss from discontinued operations was $1.6 million.

Net income for the three months ended June 27, 2015 was $4.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared with a net income of $4.3 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 28, 2014.  Net income for the six months ended June 27, 2015 was $6.3 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, compared with net income of $2.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share for the comparable period last year.

The Company’s working capital increased to $49.3 million at June 27, 2015, compared with $44.4 million at December 27, 2014.  During the first half of 2015, Supreme invested $2.7 million in property, plant and equipment to enhance manufacturing efficiencies, including the consolidation of our Indiana facilities.  The Company ended the quarter with $3.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, and $8.7 million in debt. Stockholders’ equity increased to $87.0 million at June 27, 2015, compared with $81.0 million at December 27, 2014, increasing book value per share to $5.25 at June 27, 2015, compared with $4.94 at December 27, 2014.

We are optimistic about Supreme’s outlook for the remainder of 2015.  Our backlog remains strong and also provides encouraging evidence that our strategic growth initiatives and customer-centric marketing approach are gaining traction.  Supreme’s financial strength is also allowing the Company to invest in growth initiatives while at the same time the Board of Directors announced a 20% increase in the cash dividend on the Company’s Class A and Class B common stock.

Net sales

Net sales for the three months ended June 27, 2015 increased $11.0 million, or 15.4%, to $82.6 million as compared with $71.6 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014.  Net sales for the six months ended June 27, 2015 increased $21.0 million, or 16.8%, to $145.9 million as compared with $124.9 million for the six months ended June 28, 2014.

Table of Contents

Truck sales increased $18.0 million, or 29.4%, for the second quarter of 2015 when compared with last year’s second quarter.   The sales growth was the result of higher sales to both retail and fleet customers.  Trolley and Specialty Vehicle sales decreased in the second quarter of 2015 by $0.9 million, or 32.9%, and $6.4 million, or 92.7%, respectively when compared with same period in 2014.  The Company’s fiberglass facility supplies fiberglass reinforced plywood to Supreme for use in the production of certain truck bodies and also sells such product to third parties.  The sales to third parties increased $0.3 million, or 39.2%, for the second quarter of 2015 when compared with last year’s second quarter.  As we continue through 2015, we are encouraged by the higher sales backlog, improved market indicators for truck body purchases, and new product offerings including our proprietary FiberPanel HC product and the redesign of our refrigerated product line.

For the six months ended June 27, 2015, truck sales increased $29.3 million, or 26.4% which more than offset the lower sales of Trolley and Specialty Vehicles deceasing $1.1 million and $7.9 million, respectively.  Fiberglass reinforced plywood sales increased $0.7 million, for the first six months of 2015 when compared with last year’s first half.  Additionally, last year’s first quarter sales were negatively impacted by chassis shortages and severe weather, circumstances which were not present during the first quarter of 2015.

Cost of sales and gross profit

For the three months ended June 27, 2015, gross profit from continuing operations was $15.5 million, or 18.7% of net sales, compared with $14.6 million, or 20.5% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2014. Gross profit for the first six months of 2015 was $26.9 million, or 18.4% of net sales, compared with $22.5 million, or 18.0% of net sales, in the first six months of 2014.

Gross margin, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 1.8% for the three months ended June 27, 2015 compared with the same period in the prior year quarter primarily due to product mix and a higher proportion of fleet sales in the current year which yield a lower gross margin percentage. The material percentage increased due to product mix which was somewhat offset by a decrease in the direct labor percentage from improved efficiencies related to our fleet run which is comprised of large quantities of similar units.  Overhead for the three months ended June 27, 2015 was elevated due to higher group health insurance costs partially offset by improvement in workers compensation expense.  The Company continues to implement changes to its group health insurance plan with the goal of improving the overall health and the cost consciousness of its workforce.  For the six months ended June 27, 2015, the gross margin, as a percentage of net sales, increased approximately 0.4% from the prior year primarily due to the higher sales volume and the fixed nature of certain overhead expenses that do not fluctuate with changes in sales volume.  Additionally, the first quarter of 2014 was impacted by labor inefficiencies resulting from shortages of light-duty chassis from a major chassis supplier and extreme weather conditions causing the inefficiencies in the movement, scheduling and production of truck bodies.  Increased demand for certain commodities can result in fluctuating costs of raw materials and other items we utilize in our production processes.  Therefore, the Company closely monitors major commodities to identify raw material cost escalations and attempts to pass through cost increases as markets will allow by having material adjustment clauses in most key customer contracts.

Delivery expense, as a percentage of net sales, for the three and six months ended June 27, 2015 decreased 0.5% and 0.4%, respectively, as compared with same periods in 2014 due to product mix and customer shipment requirements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million, or 11.8%, to $9.3 million for the three months ended June 27, 2015, as compared with $8.3 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014.  Selling and general and administrative expenses increased by $1.9 million to $17.7 million for the six months ended June 27, 2015, as compared with $15.8 million for the six months ended June 28, 2014.

Selling expenses for the three months ended June 27, 2015 increased $0.1 million to $2.8 million as compared with $2.7 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014.  For the six months ended June 27, 2015, selling expenses increased by $0.2 million to $5.2 million as compared with $5.0 million for the six months ended June 28, 2014.  As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses decreased 0.4% for the three and six months ended June 27, 2015 as compared with the same periods in 2014.  The slight expense increases were due to higher sales wages and related costs as the Company enhanced its market presence by adding and upgrading sales personnel in key regions, as well as annual merit increases.

General and administrative expenses for three months ended June 27, 2015 increased $0.9 million to $6.5 million as compared with $5.6 million for the three months ended June 28, 2014.  For the six months ended June 27, 2015, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.7 million to $12.5 million as compared with $10.8 million for the six months ended June 28, 2014.  As a percentage of net sales, general and administrative expenses remained flat at 7.9% for the three months ended June 27, 2015 compared with the same period in 2014 and decreased 0.1% to 8.5% for the six months ended June 27, 2015 as compared with the same period in 2014.  The expense increases was the result of profit-based incentive compensation plans, selected personnel additions and higher salary costs related to annual merit increases.

Other income

Other income was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 27, 2015, respectively, compared with $0.1 million for both the three and six months ended June 28, 2014.  Other income consisted of rental income, gain on the sale of assets, and other miscellaneous income received by the Company.

Interest expense

Interest expense includes interest on bank debt, and chassis interest on bailment pool chassis offset by interest support received from a chassis manufacturer.  Interest expense decreased to $28,000 for the three months ended June 27, 2015 as compared with $77,000 for the three months ended June 28, 2014.  For the six months ended June 27, 2015, interest expense was $0.3 million, or 0.2% of net sales, as compared with $0.2 million, or 0.1% of net sales, for the six months ended June 28, 2014.

Operating activities

Cash flows from operations represent the net income earned in the reported periods adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net cash used in operating activities totaled $5.9 million for the six months ended June 27, 2015, as compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $6.2 million for the six months ended June 28, 2014.

During the first six months of 2015, changes in operating assets and liabilities included a $7.1 million increase in inventories due to an increase in sales order backlog to both retail and fleet truck customers. The increased sales volume also resulted in an $8.4 million increase in accounts receivable. Despite the increase in inventories, trade accounts payable decreased by $0.3 million as a result of the completion of the Company’s spring fleet orders and the acceleration of payments to vendors to take advantage of discount payment terms.

During the first six months of 2014, changes in operating assets and liabilities reflected a $3.8 million decrease in inventories due to the completion of fleet orders and the wind down of discontinued shuttle bus operations. This was partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease in trade accounts payable.

Investing activities

Cash used in investing activities was $1.3 million for the six months ended June 27, 2015, as compared with cash provided by investing activities of $2.5 million for the six months ended June 28, 2014.  During the first six months of 2015, the Company’s capital expenditures were $2.7 million, consisting of property, plant and equipment purchases to enhance manufacturing efficiencies, which included investments made to consolidate our Indiana operating facilities.

During the first six months of 2014, the Company completed the sale of its shuttle bus operations and received net proceeds of $3.9 million. Additionally, the Company’s capital expenditures totaled $1.4 million which consisted of investments in process improvement and replacement capital expenditures.

Financing activities

Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 27, 2015 was $1.3 million, as compared with $18,000 of cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 28, 2014. During the six months of 2015, the Company used $1.3 million to pay cash dividends to its shareholders and $0.3 million to make a scheduled quarterly principal payment on its outstanding term loan.

During the first six months of 2014, the Company used $0.3 million to make a scheduled quarterly principal payment on its outstanding term loan.

Capital Resources

Credit Agreement

On December 19, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”). Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, Wells Fargo agreed to provide to the Company a credit facility of up to $45.0 million, consisting of a revolving credit facility, a term loan facility, and a letter of credit facility. The Credit Agreement is for a period of five years ending on December 19, 2017.  The Company had unused credit capacity of $35.0 million at June 27, 2015.  The Company was in compliance with all provisions of

the Credit Agreement upon receipt of a waiver of default.  The Company had a technical event of default caused by payment of cash dividends in excess of $0.03 per share during the first quarter of 2015.  This was caused by the cash dividend declared in the fourth quarter of 2014 being paid on January 2, 2015.

Summary of Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s primary capital needs are for working capital demands, to meet its debt service obligations, and to finance capital expenditure requirements. Cash generated from operations, and borrowings available under the Credit Agreement, are expected to be sufficient to finance the known and/or foreseeable liquidity and capital needs of the Company for at least the next 12 months based on our current cash flow budgets and forecasts of our liquidity needs.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial position and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2014.  In management’s opinion, the Company’s critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, excess and obsolete inventories, inventory relief, accrued insurance, and accrued warranty.

Revenue Recognition — The Company generally recognizes revenue when products are shipped to the customer.  Revenue on certain customer-requested bill and hold transactions is recognized after the risks of ownership have passed to the customer, the customer is notified that the products have been completed according to customer specifications, the products have passed all of the Company’s quality control inspections, and the products are ready for delivery based on established delivery terms.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance on recognizing revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  This guidance supersedes existing U.S. GAAP and industry-specific guidance related to revenue recognition and is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of this guidance and has not yet determined the impact, if any, that the implementation of this guidance will have on its results of operations or financial condition.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which is determined by management based on the Company’s historical losses, specific customer circumstances, and general economic conditions.  Periodically, management reviews accounts receivable and adjusts the allowance based on current circumstances and charges off uncollectible receivables against the allowance when all attempts to collect the receivables have failed.

Excess and Obsolete Inventories — The Company must make estimates regarding the future use of raw materials and finished products and provide for obsolete or slow-moving inventories.  Periodically, management reviews inventories and adjusts the excess and obsolete reserves based on product life cycles, product demand, and/or market conditions.

Inventory Relief — For monthly and quarterly financial reporting, cost of sales is recorded and inventories are relieved by the use of standard bills of material adjusted for scrap and other estimated factors affecting inventory relief. The Company continues to refine the process of creating accurate bills of materials, however, manual adjustments may be necessary in an effort to assure correct relief of inventories for products sold.

We conduct semi-annual physical inventories at a majority of locations and schedule them in a manner that provides coverage in each of our calendar quarters.  We have invested significant resources in our continuing effort to improve the physical inventory process and accuracy of our inventory accounting system.

Accrued Insurance - The Company has a self-insured retention against product liability claims with insurance coverage over and above the retention.  The Company is also self-insured for a portion of its employee medical benefits and workers’ compensation.  Product liability claims are routinely reviewed by the Company’s insurance carrier, and management routinely reviews other self-insurance risks for purposes of establishing ultimate loss estimates.  In addition, management must determine estimated liability for claims incurred but not reported.  Such estimates, and any subsequent changes in estimates, may result in adjustments to our operating results in the future.

Accrued Warranty — The Company provides limited warranties for periods of up to five years from the date of retail sale.  Estimated warranty costs are accrued at the time of sale and are based upon historical experience.
