MIDWEST METAL DISTRIBUTION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
NOTE A Summary of significant accounting policies
Nature of operations
The accompanying consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of Midwest Metal Distribution, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Clinton Aluminum Acquisition, LLC (CAA) (inclusive of its wholly-owned subsidiary Clinton Aluminum U.S.,
LLC (US), which owns 100%
of Clinton Aluminum Canada, ULC (Canada)), Clinton Distribution, LLC (CD), and Metal Transportation, LLC (MT), hereinafter collectively referred to as Midwest Metal or the Company.
CAA is a distributor and processor of aluminum and stainless steel sheet plate and bar products. CD owns the land, buildings, and warehouses used by the Company in both Wisconsin and Michigan. MT owns 37 delivery trucks and trailers used by the Company in its operations. US was formed to hold the assets of the Canadian distribution operations.
Principles of consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Midwest Metal Distribution, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Separate trial balances are not maintained for Canada, CD or MT. Accordingly, significant intra-entity transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Method of accounting
The Company maintains its accounting records under the accrual method of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Use of estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company maintains its cash deposits with financial institutions. The deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. From time to time during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, balances exceeded amounts insured by the FDIC. The Company has not experienced any losses and believes it is not exposed to a significant credit risk in this regard. The Company had four major suppliers that accounted for 61% and 54% of the Companys purchases for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

MIDWEST METAL DISTRIBUTION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
NOTE A Summary of significant accounting policies, continued
Accounts receivable
The Company reports trade receivables at net realizable value. The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable in an amount equal to the estimated probable losses net of recoveries. The allowance is based on an analysis of historical bad debt experience, current receivables aging, and expected future write-offs, as well as an assessment of specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. The expense associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized as selling, general, and administrative expense.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization have been provided in the consolidated financial statements using the straight-line method at rates based on reasonable estimates of useful lives, which are as follows for major asset classifications:
Years | ||
Buildings and improvements |
40 | |
Machinery and equipment |
5 -12 | |
Vehicles |
5 - 7 | |
Furniture and fixtures |
5 |
Goodwill
The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 350, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (ASC 350), which requires that goodwill and certain indefinite-lived assets not be amortized but that they be evaluated annually for impairment. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted Accounting Standard Update 2012-02 (ASU 2012-02), IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350). This update amends ASU 2011-08, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350). ASU 2012-02 simplifies how entities test goodwill for impairment. Previous guidance under ASC 350 required an entity to test goodwill for impairment using a two-step process on at least an annual basis. First, the fair value of a reporting unit was calculated and compared to its carrying amount, including goodwill. Second, if the fair value of a reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, the amount of impairment loss, if any, was required to be measured. Under the amendments in this update, an entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads the entity to determine that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. If the entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to test goodwill for impairment under the two-step process as described under ASC 350.

MIDWEST METAL DISTRIBUTION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
NOTE A Summary of significant accounting policies, continued
Goodwill, continued
The valuation performed by the Company during 2012 indicated that impairment of goodwill was likely since the fair market value of the reporting unit was below the book value of the business. The Company completed the second step of the analysis and allocated the fair value to the existing assets and liabilities and determined that the entire remaining balance of goodwill was impaired. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss during 2012 of $9,701,535.
Long-lived assets
Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are required to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment periodically or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When an evaluation is required, the projected future undiscounted cash flows are compared to the carrying value of the long-lived assets to determine if a write-down to fair value is required. No impairment losses were identified during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets include deferred financing costs, software and the customer list. Deferred financing costs represent costs paid in connection with obtaining long-term financing. These fees are amortized on a straight-line method over three to five years, which is the term of the related financing. Software is being amortized over three years and the customer list is being amortized over five years.
Finite-lived intangible assets at December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

MIDWEST METAL DISTRIBUTION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
NOTE A Summary of significant accounting policies, continued
Intangible assets, continued
Amortization expense related to these intangible assets amounted to $357,525 and $331,492 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The amount of amortization expense related to these costs that the Company estimates will be recorded in each of the next three years is as follows:

Derivative instruments
The Company utilized an interest rate swap agreement to manage the risks associated with the variation in interest rates applying to its variable rate debt, thereby stabilizing interest costs. As interest rates changed, the differential paid or received under the swap agreement was recognized in interest expense in the current period. The interest rate swap agreement is a derivative instrument and was accounted for in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) (see Note G). Under this Topic, the Company is required to recognize in its consolidated financial statements the fair value of derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities depending on the nature of the rights or obligations under the contract. Accounting for the changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument is dependent on whether the instrument is designated as, and qualifies as, a hedging instrument. The interest rate swap agreement was terminated in 2012.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product, provided there are no uncertainties regarding acceptance, that there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement and that the sales price is fixed and determinable and collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured. Revenue is deferred and included in liabilities when the Company receives cash in advance for services not yet performed.
Taxes collected from customers
The Company collects sales tax from its customers on product sales that is remitted to various governmental authorities when due. The Companys policy is to record taxes collected from customers as a component of sales and the amount of taxes paid to governmental authorities as general and administrative expenses on its consolidated statement of income.
Shipping and handling costs
Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.

NOTE B Business combinations
Victory Metals Incorporated
On May 27, 2011, the Company purchased the assets and assumed certain liabilities from Victory Metals Incorporated for $1,395,091 in cash and a note payable. The transaction was accounted for in accordance with ASC 850, Business Combinations. As a result of the acquisition, the Company recognized a gain of $116,125, which represents the excess of the fair value of the assets purchased over the consideration paid. This amount is included as a separate line item in other income (expense), in the accompanying 2011 consolidated income statement.
As a result of the acquisition, the Company expects to increase its presence and market share as a distributor of aluminum and stainless steel sheet plate and bar products in Canada.
The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values. A summary of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed follows:

NOTE E Line of credit
At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had a revolving line of credit arrangement with PNC Bank, NA (PNC) with maximum available borrowings of $25,000,000. Borrowings under this arrangement are secured by accounts receivable, inventory, and property and equipment and contain certain restrictive financial covenants. The facility bears interest in accordance with a pricing grid based on the Companys fixed charge coverage ratio. The maximum interest rate charged per the grid is based on LIBOR plus 4.0% or the banks alternative base rate plus 1.75% payable monthly in arrears. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the actual interest rate charged on the amount outstanding on the line of credit was 4.00% and 3.75%, respectively. The interest rates charged will be determined pursuant to the pricing grid, on a quarterly basis. The Company is also required to pay an unused facility fee monthly equal to a percentage (.375%) of the amount by which the revolving credit commitment exceeds the average daily amount outstanding on the line. The revolving credit facility expires on June 30, 2015 (see Note N regarding extension of maturity date). There was $19,397,630 and $19,154,455 outstanding on the revolving line of credit at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

NOTE G Financial instruments
Interest rate swap
At December 31, 2011, the Company held an interest rate swap contract with a notional amount of $5,000,000 that effectively converted the interest rate on a portion of the line of credit (see Note E) to a fixed rate of 5.33%. The Companys purpose in entering this swap arrangement was to hedge against the risk of interest rate increases on the related variable rate debt. This derivative financial instrument is not held for trading purposes. The Company accounts for this derivative financial instrument in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, the derivative financial instrument is reflected on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The Company was unable to satisfy the hedging criteria required by ASC 815. Accordingly, the swap agreement could not be designated as a hedging instrument and therefore the change in fair value of this instrument has been reported directly in current earnings. As of December 31, 2011, the swap agreement at fair value represented a liability of $21,421. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the expense recognized related to the interest rate swap agreement was $1,440 and $7,899, respectively. Cash flows related to the interest rate swap agreement are presented in the statement of cash flows as financing activities, consistent with the presentation of the related debt. This swap agreement matured on January 31, 2012.

NOTE H Income taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts.
The provision (credit) for income taxes is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The Companys net deferred tax asset (liability) was $38,699 and $(335,572) at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and was comprised of the following:

NOTE H Income taxes, continued
The deferred tax asset results from the difference in the method of recognition of amortization expense for financial statement and income tax purposes, the allowance for bad debts, certain accrued liabilities and net operating loss carryforwards. The deferred tax liability results from the difference in the method of recognition of depreciation expense and rent expense for financial statement and income tax purposes, and prepaid expenses.
The Company periodically reviews the need for a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets and recognizes these deferred tax assets to the extent that realization is more likely than not. Based upon a review of earnings history and trends, the Company believes no valuation allowance was necessary at December 31, 2012 and 2011.
The components of the income tax benefit (expense) are as follows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:

The Companys effective income tax rate for 2012 and 2011 differ from what would be expected if the federal statutory rates were applied to the Companys income before income taxes primarily due to permanent differences between expenses deductible for financial statement and income tax purposes (including impairment of goodwill), income attributable to the Companys Canadian subsidiary being taxed at a lower effective tax rate, state income taxes and adjustments to the prior year deferred provision.
Net operating loss carryforwards available as of December 31, 2012 expire as follows:

The Company follows the accounting requirements associated with uncertainty in income taxes using the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes. Using that guidance, tax positions initially need to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more-likely-than-not the positions will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. It also provides guidance for derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

NOTE H Income taxes, continued
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the Company had no interest and penalties related to income taxes.
The earliest year that the Companys income tax returns are subject to examination is the period ended December 31, 2010.
NOTE I Fair value measurements
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value and provides guidance for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. ASC 820 does not require any new fair value measurements, but rather applies to all other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.
ASC 820 enables the reader of the consolidated financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. ASC 820 requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
| Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. |
| Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. |
The Companys financial assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2012 included goodwill. The Company generally applies fair value techniques on a nonrecurring basis associated with valuing potential impairment loss related to long-lived assets accounted for pursuant to ASC 360. Fair value was determined by multiplying the adjusted EBITDA of the Company times a median multiple factor based on similar deals and then subtracting the amount of interest bearing debt. Debt was assumed to be stated at fair value.
The following asset class was measured on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2012 as follows:

NOTE J Operating leases, continued
Effective September 1, 2012, the Company entered into a five year agreement to lease a building located in Kitchener, Ontario. Under this lease the rent payments are to commence in December, 2012, with monthly payments of $15,333 with rent payments increasing annually until they reach $18,630 per month in December 2016.
The Company is also responsible for real estate taxes and assessments on these properties.
Generally accepted accounting principles require that rent be recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease. Accordingly, rent expense was increased (decreased) by $86,475 and $(109,673) for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, to reflect rent expense related to the Clinton, Ohio and Kitchener, Ontario leases on the straight-line basis. An aggregate difference of $102,940 and $189,415 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, has been recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as deferred rent (asset) relating to the difference between actual rent payments and the amount which would have been paid if payments were made on the straight-line basis.
NOTE K Employee benefit plans
The Company has a 401(k) and profit sharing plan covering substantially all employees. The Company does not match employee deferrals, but may make a profit sharing contribution at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Profit sharing expense amounted to $0 and $62,363 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
NOTE L Commitments and contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is the subject of, or party to, pending or threatened litigation, assessments, and claims. While it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of such matters individually or in the aggregate, management believes that any ultimate result will not have a materially adverse effect on the consolidated financial position and result of operations of the Company.
Exit fee
The Mezzanine Debt has an exit fee associated with the note. This exit fee is payable upon the occurrence of a change in control in an amount equal to 4.25% per annum of the outstanding principal amount of the note (but in no case less than 75% of the original principal amount of the note) calculated on a monthly basis. The Companys obligation to pay the exit fee survives the termination of the note and the repayment of all obligations associated with the note. The exit fee is secured by the collateral of the note. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the calculated exit fee amounted to $4,241,991 and $3,456,049, respectively. This amount was not accrued in these consolidated financial statements as management did not believe that the likelihood of a change in control was probable at December 31, 2012 and 2011.
Additionally, the amount of the exit fee payable shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by amounts payable under the terms and conditions of the Exit Fee Change of Control Bonus Plan.

NOTE L Commitments and contingencies, continued
Exit Fee Change of Control Bonus Plan
In conjunction with the exit fee payable upon the occurrence of a change in control, the Company instituted a bonus plan to provide for certain additional incentive compensation payments to be made to key employees or consultants to the Company. Under this plan, each participant in the plan is entitled to a percentage (as set forth in the participants bonus agreement) of the Pool Amount which was $349,784 (as of July 1, 2010) plus an amount equal to 0.6375% per annum on the outstanding principal amount of the Mezzanine Debt calculated on a monthly basis commencing on July 1, 2010, but in no case shall the percentage be calculated on less than $11,625,000. During 2012, bonus agreements were executed with two executives of the Company entitling them to a bonus payment, determined in accordance with the Plan.
NOTE M Contingent stock purchase warrant and stock based compensation
Contingent stock purchase warrant
The Company issued a contingent stock purchase warrant to its majority stockholder. The majority stockholder is entitled to purchase from the Company at any time, or from time to time before June 30, 2025, up to 200 fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Companys common stock, at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. This warrant was issued in connection with the adoption of the Companys 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. During 2012, the majority stockholder exercised 70 shares under the stock purchase warrant.
Stock based compensation
During 2012, the Company granted an option to purchase 70 shares of restricted stock to its Chief Executive Officer and President at an exercise price of $0.10 per share. These options were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2012. The shares vest based on a service period of 18 months. The restricted stock was accounted for in accordance with ASC 718, Stock Compensation (ASC 718). In accordance with ASC 718, the Company is required to record compensation expense in the consolidated statement of operations for all employee stock-based awards granted, modified or settled. The fair market value of the stock-based awards is determined at the time the stock-based awards are granted and compensation cost is expensed ratably over the vesting period.
The Company determined the fair market value of the stock-based awards issued during the year ended December 31, 2012 to be zero since the calculated fair value per share of the restricted stock was less than the exercise price of $0.10 per share. Accordingly, no stock-based compensation expense was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2012 and there is no unrecognized compensation expense related to the restricted stock at December 31, 2012. The Company estimated the implied fair value of stockholders equity by multiplying the adjusted EBITDA of the Company times a median multiple factor based on similar deals and then subtracting the amount of interest bearing debt. Debt was assumed to be stated at fair value.

Stock based compensation, continued
These assumptions reflect the Companys best estimates, but they involve inherent uncertainties based on certain conditions generally outside the control of the Company. As a result, if other assumptions had been used, total stock-based compensation as determined in accordance with ASC 718 could have been materially impacted. Furthermore, if different assumptions are used for future grants, stock-based compensation could be materially impacted in future periods. The weighted-average fair value of stock granted during the year ended December 31, 2012 was zero.
NOTE N Subsequent event, liquidity
On July 23, 2013, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation to authorize 25,000 shares of Preferred Stock with a par value of $0.01 per share, designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock, shall be entitled to receive cash dividends at the rate of 12% of the Series A Liquidation Preference (the original issue price of $1,000 per share, as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like) per annum on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock.
Additionally, on July 23, 2013 and August 23, 2013, the majority stockholder purchased 1,000 shares of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for an aggregate price of $1,000,000 on each date.
On July 23, 2013, the Company amended the terms of its Mezzanine Debt with its majority stockholder. The amendment extended the maturity date to July 31, 2015.
Effective December 30, 2013, the Company amended the terms of its revolving credit facility agreement with PNC. The amendment extended the maturity date to the earlier of December 30, 2017 or 90 days prior to the scheduled maturity date of the Mezzanine Debt. Additionally, the maximum interest rate charged per the grid will be based on LIBOR plus 3.5% or the banks alternative base rate plus 1.25% payable monthly in arrears.
