NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

QUARTER ENDED JUNE 28,SEPTEMBER 27, 2014

(Unaudited)

1.              Basis of Presentation:

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Continental Materials Corporation (the “Company”) as of December 28, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (none of which(see Note 8 regarding certain adjustments recorded during the quarter ended September 27, 2014 that were other than normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2013 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2014 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the consolidatedconsolidate results of operations, the net increasechange in cash or the total assets, liabilities or shareholders’ equity of the Company.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6

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

(a)Segment assets are as of December 28, 2013.

(b)Capital expenditures are presented on the accrual basis of accounting.

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

8.              In September of 2014 the Company ceased operations at its leased gravel operation in Pueblo, Colorado. This aggregate operation incurred significant operating losses in all but two years since 2005. The principal reasons for the operating losses were the high ratio of sand to rock and the high cost of complying with water augmentation requirements. Except for the sand required in the production of concrete, the demand for sand in the Pueblo area is very weak. The decision to shut down the Pueblo aggregate operation resulted in significant accounting charges in the third quarter of 2014. The Company recorded $4,000,000 to reflect the costs to backfill the mined gravel pit from a previous mining phase. Prior to the shutdown the reclamation plan was to fill this pit with waste material and tailings from the ongoing gravel operation. The Company also wrote-off $1,257,000 of unamortized deferred development expenses and the write-off of $400,000 of prepaid royalties related to the minimum annual royalties paid during the period of operation. The Company has filed suit in federal court in Denver, Colorado seeking, among other things, to rescind the sand and gravel lease and to recover approximately $1,259,000 of royalties paid in error. The sand and gravel lease called for the payments of a royalty on 50,000,000 tons of sand and gravel reserves. Through the end of the third quarter of 2014 approximately 17,500,000 tons have been paid for, including the amounts paid in error. After consideration of all facts and circumstances, including discussions with legal counsel, management concluded that no reserve was required to be recorded against the $1,259,000 of overpaid royalties nor was a liability required to be recorded for royalties related to the remaining 32,500,000 of unmined sand and gravel.

9.Identifiable amortizable intangible assets as of June 28,September 27, 2014 include a restrictive land covenant and customer relationships. Collectively,At September 27, 2014, these assets were collectively carried at $92,000,$79,000, net of $628,000$641,000 accumulated amortization. The pre-tax amortization expense for intangible assets during the quarter ended June 28,September 27, 2014 was $13,000 compared to $15,000$14,000 for the quarter ended June 29,September 28, 2013, and was $26,000 and $30,000$39,000 for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 27, 2014 as compared to $44,000 for the nine months ended September 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively.2013.

Based upon the intangible assets recorded on the balance sheet at June 28,September 27, 2014, amortization expense for the next five years is estimated to be as follows: 2014 –— $52,000; 2015 –— $45,000; 2016 – $21,000.— $21,000, and zero thereafter.

Company’s heating equipment. Notwithstanding weather conditions, however, the Company expects construction activity along the Southern Front Range of Colorado to continue to improve from the very depressed levels ofexperienced in 2009 through 2012.

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

Cash provided by operations was $605,000$2,175,000 during the first sixnine months of 2014 compared to the $1,777,000$1,819,000 of cash provided during the first sixnine months of 2013.
