OCEAN BIO-CHEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Interim reporting

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period data have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “Company” refers to Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

 

The financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020.

 

The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

Use of estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with 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 the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

2.RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

Accounting Guidance Adopted by the Company

 

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses,” which replaces the “incurred loss” model under current GAAP with a forward-looking “expected loss” model, principally in connection with financial assets subject to credit losses. Under current GAAP, an entity reflects credit losses on financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis only when it is probable that losses have been incurred, generally considering only past events and current conditions in making these determinations. The guidance under ASU 2016-13 prospectively replaces this approach with a forward-looking methodology that reflects the expected credit losses over the lives of financial assets, beginning when such assets are first acquired. Under the expected loss model, expected credit losses will be measured based not only on past events and current conditions, but also on reasonable and supportable forecasts. The guidance also expands disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

7.REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

 

On August 31, 2018, the Company and Regions Bank entered into a Business Loan Agreement (the “Business Loan Agreement”), under which the Company was provided a revolving line of credit. Under the Business Loan Agreement, the Company may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $6,000,000 or (ii) a borrowing base equal to 85% of Eligible Accounts (as defined in the Business Loan Agreement) plus 50% of Eligible Inventory (as defined in the Business Loan Agreement). Interest on amounts borrowed under the revolving line of credit is payable monthly at the one-month LIBOR rate plus 1.35% per annum, computed on a 365/360 basis. Eligible Accounts do not include, among other things, accounts receivable from affiliated entities.


Outstanding amounts under the revolving line of credit are payable on demand. If no demand is made, the Company may repay and reborrow funds from time to time until expiration of the revolving line of credit on August 31, 2021, at which time all outstanding principal and interest will be due and payable. The Company’s obligations under the revolving line of credit are principally secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory. The Business Loan Agreement includes financial covenants requiring that the Company maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (generally, the ratio of (A) EBITDA for the most recently completed four fiscal quarters minus the sum of the Company’s distributions to its shareholders, taxes paid and unfunded capital expenditures during such period to (B) prior year current maturities of Company long term debt plus interest expense incurred over the most recently completed four fiscal quarters) of 1.20 to 1, tested quarterly, and a maximum “debt to cap” ratio (generally, funded debt divided by the sum of net worth and funded debt) of 0.75 to 1, as of the end of each fiscal quarter. For purposes of computing the fixed charge coverage ratio, “EBITDA” generally is defined as net income before taxes and depreciation expense plus amortization expense, plus interest expense, plus non-recurring and/or non-cash losses and expenses, minus non-recurring and/or non-cash gains and income; “unfunded capital expenditures” generally is defined as capital expenditures made from Company funds other than funds borrowed through term debt incurred to finance such capital expenditures; “long term debt” generally is defined as “debt instruments with a maturity principal due date of one year or more in length,” including, among other listed contractual debt instruments, “revolving lines of credit” and “capital leases obligations,” and “prior year current maturities of long term debt” generally is defined as the principal portions of long-term debt maturing within one year as listed at the last quarter end of the prior completed four fiscal quarters. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants.

8.LONG TERM DEBT

 

Industrial Development Bond Financing

 

On September 26, 2017, Kinpak indirectly obtained a $4,500,000 loan from Regions Capital Advantage, Inc. (the “Lender”). The proceeds of the loan are being used principally to pay or reimburse costs relating to the Expansion Project.

 

The loan was funded by the Lender’s purchase of a $4,500,000 industrial development bond (the “Bond”) issued by The Industrial Development Board of the City of Montgomery, Alabama (the “IDB”). The Bond is a limited obligation of the IDB and is payable solely out of revenues and receipts derived from the leasing or sale of Kinpak’s facilities. In this regard, Kinpak is obligated to fund the IDB’s payment obligations by providing rental payments under a lease between the IDB and Kinpak (the “Lease”), under which Kinpak leases its facilities from the IDB. Kinpak inherited the lease structure when it first acquired its facilities from its predecessor-in-interest in 1996. The Lease provides that prior to the maturity date of the Bond, Kinpak may repurchase the facilities for $1,000 if the Bond has been redeemed or fully paid.

 

The Bond bears interest at the rate of 3.07% per annum, calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed (subject to increase to 6.07% per annum upon the occurrence of an event of default), and is payable in 118 monthly installments of $31,324 beginning on November 1, 2017 and ending on August 1, 2027, with a final principal and interest payment to be made on September 1, 2027 in the amount of $1,799,201. The Bond provides that the interest rate will be subject to adjustment if it is determined by the United States Treasury Department, the Internal Revenue Service, or a similar government entity that the interest on the Bond is includable in the gross income of the Lender for federal income tax purposes.

 

Under the Lease, Kinpak is required to make rental payments for the account of the IDB to the Lender in such amounts and at such times as are necessary to enable the payment of all principal and interest due on the Bond and other charges, if any, payable in respect of the Bond. The Lease also provides that Kinpak may redeem the Bond, in whole or in part, by prepaying its rental payment obligations in an amount sufficient to effect the redemption. In addition, the Lease contains provisions relating to the Expansion Project, including limitations on utilization of Bond proceeds, deposit of unused proceeds into a custodial account (as described below) and investment of monies held in the custodial account.

 

Payment of amounts due and payable under the Bond and other related agreements are guaranteed by the Company and its other consolidated subsidiaries. In connection with the guarantee agreement under which the Company provided its guarantee, the Company is subject to certain covenants, including financial covenants requiring that the Company maintain (i) a minimum fixed charge ratio (generally, the ratio of (A) EBITDA minus the sum of Company’s distributions to its shareholders, taxes paid and unfunded capital expenditures to (B) current maturities of Company long-term debt plus interest expense) of 1.21.20 to 1, tested quarterly, and (ii) a ratio of funded debt (as defined in the guaranty agreement) divided by the sum of net worth and funded debt of 0.75 to 1, tested quarterly. For purposes of computing the fixed charge coverage ratio, “EBITDA” generally is defined as net income before taxes and depreciation expense plus amortization expense, plus interest expense, plus non-recurring and/or non-cash losses and expenses, minus non-recurring and/or non-cash gains and income; “unfunded capital expenditures” generally is defined as capital expenditures made from Company funds other than funds borrowed through term debt incurred to finance such capital expenditures. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants.


Through JuneSeptember 30, 2020, of the $4,500,000 proceeds of the Bond sale, there are unused proceeds of approximately $1,422,000$739,000 remaining that are held in a custodial account and may be drawn by Kinpak from time to time to fund additional expenditures related to the Expansion Project. Due to restrictions under, among other things, the Internal Revenue Code and the Lease on Kinpak’s utilization of the funds held in the custodial account, such funds are classified as restricted cash on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company intends to utilize the remaining proceeds to purchase machinery and equipment to expand its production capacity of its disinfectant product group including Performacide® and our Damp Check® mildew and humidity control products.

  

The Company incurred debt financing costs of $196,095 in connection with the financing. These costs are shown as a reduction of the debt balance and are being amortized over the life of the Bond.

The trend of higher year-over-year net sales that began in the second quarter continued through the third quarter. The increase in net sales was largely attributable toprincipally a result of increased sales of our Performacidemarine products and chlorine dioxide-based products (Performacide® disinfectant/sanitizerand private label). Our chlorine dioxide-based products which are EPA-registered as a disinfectant and sanitizer, are proven to kill previously known strands of human Coronavirus, and meetsmeet EPA criteria for use against the new, SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19. The Company also had increased net sales of our Star Brite branded marine products during the three months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019. Sales increased to most sectors in which the Company markets its products, to including online customers, mass merchandisers, marine retail and distributors and private label distributors of our chlorine dioxide products. The trend of higher year-over-year net sales continued in JulyOctober 2020. We expect it may continue at least in the near term but can provide no assurance in this regard.

The principal reasons for the increase in cash used in operating activities during the six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, as compared to the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2019 is an increase in our trade accounts receivable caused by the growth in net sales that occurred in the second quarter of 2020, and an increase in inventories in order to meet the anticipated demands of the third quarter of 2020. These increases in cash used in operating activities were partially offset by increased net income and increases in accounts payable, income taxes payable, and accrued expenses payable.2019.

 


Net trade accounts receivable at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 aggregated approximately $12,839,000,$16,262,000, an increase of approximately $5,707,000,$9,130,000, or 80.0%128.0%, as compared to approximately $7,132,000 in net trade accounts receivable outstanding at December 31, 2019.  The increase was principally a result of our net sales during the secondthird quarter of 2020.

See Notes 7 and 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for information concerning our principal credit facilities, consisting of Kinpak’s obligations relating to an industrial development bond financing, the payment of which we have guaranteed, and a revolving line of credit. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had outstanding balances of approximately $3,848,000$3,784,000 and $3,974,000, respectively, under Kinpak’s obligations relating to the industrial development bond financing, and no borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

 

The loan agreement pertaining to our revolving credit facility, as amended, has a stated term that expires on August 31, 2021, although, as was the case with earlier revolving lines of credit provided to us in recent years, amounts outstanding are payable on demand. Nevertheless, the loan agreement pertaining to our revolving line of credit, as amended, contains various covenants, including financial covenants that are described in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report.  At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we were in compliance with these financial covenants. The revolving credit facility is subject to several events of default, including a decline of the majority shareholder’s ownership below 50% of our outstanding shares.

 

Our guarantee of Kinpak’s obligations related to the industrial development bond financing are subject to various covenants, including financial covenants that are described in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.

 

In connection with our acquisition of assets of Snappy Marine, we issued a promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000, including interest (of the $1,000,000 amount of the promissory note, $930,528 was recorded as principal, and the remaining $69,472, representing an imputed interest rate of 2.87% per annum, is being recorded as interest expense over the term of the note). At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we had an outstanding balance of $616,666$566,666 under the promissory note (including $589,495$543,615 recorded as principal and $27,171$23,051 to be recorded as interest expense over the remaining term of the note).

 


In connection with our agreement to purchase assets of Check Corporation (dba Damp CheckTM), we agreed to pay Check Corporation $100,000 in equal installments of approximately $4,348 over a 23-month period that commenced on January 15, 2020 with a final payment due and payable on November 15, 2021. We recorded $97,012 as principal, and the remaining $2,988, representing an imputed interest rate of 3.15% per annum, will be recorded as interest expense over the 23 months).  At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we had an outstanding balance of $73,913$ 60,870 (including $72,196$59,688 recorded as principal and $1,717$1,182 to be recorded as interest expense over the remaining term of the agreement).

 

We also obtained financing through leases for office equipment, totaling approximately $111,000$105,000 and $26,000 at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

Some of our assets and liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars and are subject to currency exchange rate fluctuations. We do not engage in currency hedging and address currency risk as a pricing issue. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we recorded $1,382$1,663 in foreign currency translation adjustments (decreasing shareholders’ equity by $1,382)$1,663).

 

During the past few years, we have introduced a number of new products.  At times, new product introductions have required us to increase our overall inventory and have resulted in lower inventory turnover rates.  The effects of reduced inventory turnover have not been material to our overall operations.  We believe that all required capital to maintain such increases will continue to be provided by operations and our current revolving line of credit or a renewal or replacement of the facility.

 

Many of the raw materials that we use in the manufacturing process are petroleum or chemical based and commodity chemicals that are subject to fluctuating prices. The nature of our business does not enable us to pass through the price increases to our national retailer customers and to our distributors as promptly as we experience increases in raw material costs. This may, at times, adversely affect our margins.

 

We believe that funds provided through operations and our revolving line of credit will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements over at least the next twelve months.

Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed under the Exchange Act are (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding the disclosure.

 

Change in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting:

 

No change in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A.Risk Factors

 

The business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow, and stock price of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in Part I, Item 1A of the 2019 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of the Company’s Quarterly ReportReports on Form 10-Q for the quarterquarters ended March 31, 2020 (the “First Quarterand June 30, 2020 10-Q”), under the heading “Risk Factors,” any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition, operating results and cash flow to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition operating results and cash flow. Any of these factors, in whole or in part, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results, cash flow, and stock price. Except as set forth below, thereThere have been no material changes to the Company’s risk factors since the 2019 Form 10-K and the First Quarter 2020 10-Q.Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

  

The Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow, and stock price could in the future be materially adversely affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused substantial damage to the national and global economies and remains a significant threat.  The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow, and stock price is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments. Such developments may include the geographic spread and duration of the virus, the severity of the disease and the actions that may be taken by various governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the outbreak.

Our global manufacturing facilities remain open, though a range of external factors related to the pandemic that are not within our control, including the potential impact of the pandemic on our workforce, could affect our ability to keep our manufacturing facilities fully operational. Additionally, global or national supply chains may be affected if the pandemic persists for an extended period. Any decline or lower than expected demand in our served markets could diminish demand for our products and services, which would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, and stock price. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect the financial condition of our customers and suppliers in the future or their ability to purchase Company products, may delay customers’ purchasing decisions, result in a shift away from discretionary products, and may result in longer payment terms or inability to collect customer payments. These issues may also materially affect our future access to our sources of liquidity, particularly our cash flows from operations, financial condition and ability to consummate future acquisitions.

If significant portions of our workforce are unable to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines or absenteeism; government actions; facility closures; work slowdowns or stoppages; limited supplies or resources; or other circumstances related to COVID-19, our operations could be impacted. We may be unable to perform fully on our customer obligations and we may incur liabilities and suffer losses as a result.

The duration and intensity of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and any resulting disruption to our operations is uncertain but could have a material impact on our operations, cash flows, and financial condition. While not yet quantifiable, we will continue to assess the financial impact for the full 2020 fiscal year and beyond.
