The Company is the operating entity with a board of directors and other corporate governance responsibilities, similar to that of a Delaware corporation.

The Company is a controlling owner of ~~nine~~eight businesses, or reportable operating segments, at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019. The segments are as follows: 5.11 Acquisition Corp.

~~Note B -~~Basis of Presentation ~~and Principles of Consolidation~~

The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and ~~nine~~six month periods ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016,~~2018 are unaudited, and in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Such adjustments consist solely of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year or any subsequent interim period. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP") and presented as permitted by Form 10-Q and do not contain certain information included in the annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016.~~

~~Seasonality~~

Earnings of certain of the Company’s operating segments are seasonal in nature. Earnings from Liberty are typically lowest in the second quarter due to lower demand for safes at the onset of summer. Crosman typically has higher sales in the third and fourth quarter each year, reflecting the hunting and holiday seasons. Earnings from Clean Earth are typically lower during the winter months due to the limits on outdoor construction and development activity because of the colder weather in the Northeastern United States. Sterno Products typically has higher sales in the second and fourth quarter of each year, reflecting the outdoor summer and holiday seasons, respectively.2018.

Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and all majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Discontinued Operations

During the ~~third~~first quarter of ~~2016,~~2019, the Company completed the sale of ~~Tridien Medical,~~Fresh Hemp Foods Ltd. ("Manitoba Harvest"). Additionally, during the second quarter of 2019, the Company completed the sale of Clean Earth Holdings, Inc. ("~~Tridien"~~Clean Earth"). The results of operations of ~~Tridien~~Manitoba Harvest and Clean Earth are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016.~~2019. Refer toNote DC - "Discontinued Operations" for additional information. Unless otherwise indicated, the disclosures accompanying the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the Company's continuing operations.

Seasonality

Earnings of certain of our operating segments are seasonal in nature due to various recurring events, holidays and seasonal weather patterns, as well as the timing of our acquisitions during a given year. Historically, the third and fourth quarter produce the highest net sales during our fiscal year.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

~~In January 2017, the FASB issued new accounting guidance to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment. The guidance removes step two~~Leases

As of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the new guidance, a goodwill impairment will now be the amount by which a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, not

to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. All other goodwill impairment guidance remains largely unchanged. Entities will continue to have the option to perform a qualitative test to determine if a quantitative test is necessary. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years, after December 31, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, ~~2017 and will be applied prospectively. The~~2019, the Company adopted ~~this guidance early, effective January 1, 2017, on a prospective basis, and will apply the guidance as necessary to annual and interim goodwill testing performed subsequent to January 1, 2017.~~

~~Recently Issued~~ Accounting ~~Pronouncements~~

In March 2017, the FASB issued new guidance that will require employers that sponsor defined benefit plans to present the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered during the period, and requires the other components of net periodic pension cost to be presented in the income statement separately from the service component cost and outside a subtotal of income from operations. The new guidance shall be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company's Arnold business segment has a defined benefit plan covering substantially all of Arnold's employees at its Switzerland location. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact upon our financial condition or results of operations.

In January 2017, the FASB issued new guidance that changes the definition of a business to assist entities in evaluating when a set of transferred assets and activities constitutes a business. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets. If so, the set of transferred asset and activities is not a business. The guidance also requires a business to include at least one substantive process and narrows the definition of outputs by more closely aligning it with how outputs are described in the new revenue recognition guidance.Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842"). The new standard will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact upon our financial condition or results of operations.

In August 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update which updates the guidance as to how certain cash receipts and cash payments should be presented and classified within the statement of cash flows. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

~~In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard update related to the accounting for leases which will require~~requires an entity to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on its balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. The standard update offers specific accounting guidance for a lessee, a lessor and sale and leaseback transactions. Lessees and lessors are required to disclose qualitative and quantitative information about leasing arrangements to enable a user of financial statements to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ~~For public companies,~~In July 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued two updates to Topic 842 to clarify how to apply certain aspects of the new lease standard, and to give entities another option for transition and to provide lessors with a practical expedient to reduce the cost and complexity of implementing the new standard. The transition option allows entities to not apply the new lease standard in the comparative periods presented in the financial statements in the year of adoption. The Company adopted the new standard isusing the optional transition method. The reported results for reporting periods after January 1, 2019 are presented under the new lease guidance while prior period amounts were prepared under the previous lease guidance.

The new standard provides a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected to use the package of practical expedients that allows us to not reassess: (i) whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) lease classification for any expired or existing leases and (iii) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases. We additionally elected to use the practical expedient that allows lessees to treat the lease and non-lease components of leases as a single lease component and the practical expedient pertaining to land easements. In addition, the new standard provides for an accounting election that permits a lessee to elect not to apply the recognition requirements of Topic 842 to short-term leases by class of underlying asset. The Company adopted this accounting election for all classes of assets.

The Company has performed an assessment of the impact of the adoption of Topic 842 on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations for the Company's leases, which consist of manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office facilities, retail stores, equipment and vehicle leases. The adoption of the new lease standard on January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets of approximately $90.6 million and lease liabilities for operating leases of approximately $97.4 million on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, with no material impact to its Consolidated Statements of Operations or Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. We implemented processes and a lease accounting system to ensure adequate internal controls were in place to assess our leasing arrangements and enable proper accounting and reporting of financial information upon adoption. No cumulative effect adjustment was recognized as the amount was not material. Refer to "Note O - Commitments and Contingencies" for additional information regarding the Company's adoption of Topic 842.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which will require companies to present assets held at amortized cost and available for sale debt securities net of the amount expected to be collected. The guidance requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information from past events, including historical experiences, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect collectibility. The guidance will be effective for ~~annual reporting~~fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, ~~2018, including interim periods within that reporting period,~~2019 and ~~requires modified retrospective adoption, with~~ early adoption is permitted. ~~Accordingly,~~The adoption of this ~~standard~~guidance is ~~effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company is currently assessing the~~not expected to have a material impact ~~of the new standard~~ on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard. The new standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the revenue model is that an entity should recognize 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. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The standard is designed to create greater comparability for financial statement users across industries, jurisdictions and capital markets and also requires enhanced disclosures. The new standard will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. The FASB issued four subsequent standards in 2016 containing implementation guidance related to the new standard. These standards provide additional guidance related to principal versus agent considerations, licensing, and identifying performance obligations. Additionally, these standards provide narrow-scope improvements and practical expedients as well as technical corrections and improvements.

The guidance permits two methods of adoption: retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented (full retrospective method), or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance recognized at the date of initial application (the modified retrospective method). The Company will be adopting the standard using the modified retrospective method effective January 1, 2018.

~~The Company has developed implementation procedures specific to each of its reportable segments.The Company has designed these procedures to assess the impact that the new revenue standard will have on the Company’s financial~~

statements and to make any changes necessary to its current accounting practices and internal controls over financial reporting. The Company expects to complete the implementation procedures during the fourth quarter of 2017. The Company has identified certain differences as it relates to the concepts of variable consideration, consideration payable to a customer and the focus on control to determine when and how revenue should be recognized (i.e. point in time versus over time) during the implementation process. Although certain differences have been identified around variable consideration and consideration payable to a customer, the total impact on each reportable segment will not be material to the financial statements. The Company has identified two reportable segments where revenue recognition will change to over time recognition from historical point in time revenue recognition. Although the timing of revenue recognition for these two reportable segments will change, these changes will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company expects to adopt certain practical expedients and make certain policy elections related to the accounting for significant financing components, sales taxes, shipping and handling, costs to obtain a contract and immaterial promised goods or services which mitigates any potential differences. In addition, the Company is currently analyzing our internal control over financial reporting framework to determine if controls should be added or modified as a result of adopting this standard, and reviewing the tax impact, if any, the option of the new standard may have. We also expect that the adoption of the new standard will result in expanded and disaggregated disclosure requirements.

The allocation of the purchase price presented above is based on management's estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approach. In estimating the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates are based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates and estimated discount rates. Current and noncurrent assets and current and other liabilities are valued at historical carrying values. Property, plant and equipment is valued through a purchase price appraisal and will be depreciated on a straight-line basis over the respective remaining useful lives of the assets.

Note D — Revenue

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the provisions of Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC 606. The adoption of the new revenue guidance represents a change in accounting principle that will more closely align revenue recognition with the transfer of control of the Company's goods and services and will provide financial statement readers with enhanced disclosures. In accordance with the new revenue guidance, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services, and excludes any sales incentives or taxes collected from customers which are subsequently remitted to government authorities.

Disaggregated Revenue - Revenue Streams and Timing of Revenue Recognition - The Company disaggregates revenue by strategic business unit and by geography for each strategic business unit which are categories that depict how the nature, amount and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. This disaggregation also represents how the Company evaluates its financial performance, as well as how the Company communicates its financial performance to the investors and other users of its financial statements. Each strategic business unit represents the Company’s reportable segments and offers different products and services.

The following tables provide disaggregation of revenue by reportable segment geography for the ~~nine~~three and six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019 and 2018 (in thousands):

The Company held a 41%, ownership interest in FOX as of January 1, 2016, and a 14% ownership interest as of January 1, 2017. The investment in FOX was accounted for using the fair value option.

Note HG — Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

As a result of acquisitions of various businesses, the Company has significant intangible assets on its balance sheet that include goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles. The Company’s goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are tested and reviewed for impairment annually as of March 31st or more frequently if facts and circumstances warrant by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. Each of the Company’s businesses represent a reporting ~~unit, except~~unit. The Arnold ~~which comprises~~business previously comprised three reporting ~~units.~~

units when it was acquired in March 2012, but as a result of changes implemented by Arnold management during 2016 and 2017, the Company reassessed the reporting units at Arnold as of the annual impairment testing date in 2018. After evaluating changes in the operation of the reporting units that led to increased integration and altered how the financial results of the Arnold operating segment were assessed by Arnold management, the Company determined thatthe previously identified reporting units no longer operate in the same manner as they did when the Company acquired Arnold. As a result, the separate Arnold reporting units were determined to only comprise one reporting unit at the Arnold operating segment level as of March 31, 2018. As part of the exercise of combining the separate Arnold reporting units into one reporting unit, the Company performed "before" and "after" goodwill impairment testing, whereby we performed the annual impairment testing for each of the existing reporting units of Arnold and then subsequent to the completion of the annual impairment testing of the separate reporting units, we performed a quantitative impairment test of the Arnold operating segment, which will represent the reporting unit for future impairment tests.

Goodwill

~~2017~~2019 Annual ~~goodwill impairment testing~~Impairment Testing

The Company uses a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform ~~the two-step~~quantitative goodwill impairment testing. ~~The qualitative factors we consider include, in~~All of the Company's

~~part, the general macroeconomic environment, industry and market specific conditions for each~~ reporting unit, financial performance including actual versus planned results and results of relevant prior periods, operating costs and cost impacts, as well as issues or events specific to the reporting unit. Atunits except Liberty were tested qualitatively at March 31, ~~2017, we~~2019. We determined that the ~~Manitoba Harvest~~Liberty reporting unit required ~~further~~additional quantitative testing ~~(Step 1)~~ because we could not conclude that the fair value of the reporting unit ~~exceeds~~exceeded its carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. ~~The Company utilized~~We used an income approach and market approach for the quantitative impairment test that was performed of the Liberty business at March 31, 2019, with equal weighting assigned to ~~perform the Step 1 testing at Manitoba Harvest.~~each. The ~~weighted average cost of capital~~discount rate used in the income approach ~~for Manitoba Harvest~~ was ~~12.0%~~14.8%. ~~Results~~The results of the ~~Step 1~~ quantitative impairment testing ~~of Manitoba Harvest~~ indicated that the fair value of ~~Manitoba Harvest~~the Liberty reporting unit exceeded ~~its~~the carrying ~~value by 15.0%. Manitoba Harvest's goodwill balance as of the date of the annual impairment testing was approximately $44.5 million.~~value. For the reporting units that were tested qualitatively for the ~~Company concluded~~2019 annual impairment testing, the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeded their carrying value.

2018 Annual Impairment Testing

For the reporting units that were tested qualitatively for the 2018 annual impairment testing, the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that the fair value ~~of those reporting units~~ exceeded their carrying ~~value and that a quantitative analysis was not necessary.~~

~~Manitoba Harvest~~

The Company performed Step 1 testing during the 2017 annual impairment testing for Manitoba Harvest. Subsequent to the annual impairment test, the Company has compared the Manitoba Harvest operating results to the forecasts used in the Step 1 testing and has noted no material variances in the results. However, there is a significant degree of uncertainty inherent in the assumptions used to develop the forecast amounts used in the annual impairment test given the changing nature of consumer tastes, particularly related to future years. Therefore, the results of the forecast process forvalue. At March 31, 2018, ~~which are expected to be finalized in the fourth quarter of 2017, may make it necessary to perform interim goodwill impairment testing at Manitoba Harvest at December 31, 2017.~~

~~2016 Interim goodwill impairment testing~~

~~Arnold~~

~~In the first~~ test of ~~goodwill impairment testing, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount. For purposes of the Step 1 for the Arnold reporting units,~~Flexmag, we estimated the fair value of the reporting unit using an income approach, whereby we estimate the fair value of athe reporting unit based on the present value of future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on management's estimate of revenue growth rates and operating margins and take into consideration industry and market conditions as well as company and reporting unit specific economic ~~factors.~~conditions. The discount rate used is based on the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the business ~~specific characteristics~~ and the uncertainty associated with the reporting unit's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. The discount rate used in the income approach for Flexmag was 12.4%.

For the ~~Step 1~~reporting unit change at Arnold, a quantitative impairment test was performed of the Arnold business at March 31, 2018 using an income approach. The discount rate used in the income approach was 12.6%. The results of the quantitative impairment testing for Arnold's reporting units, we used only an income approach because we determined that the guideline public company comparables for PMAG, Flexmag and PTM were not representative of these three reporting units. In the income approach, we used a weighted average cost of capital of 12.5% for PMAG, 12.0% for Flexmag and 13.0% for PTM.

The Company had not completed the Step 2 analysis as of December 31, 2016, and therefore estimated a range of impairment loss of $14 million to $19 million based on the value of the total invested capital of the PMAG unit as well as the results of the Step 1 testing of the fair value of PMAG. The Company recorded an estimated impairment loss for PMAG of $16 million at December 31, 2016 based on that range. The Company completed the Step 2 goodwill impairment test of the PMAG reporting unit in the first quarter of 2017, and the results indicated total impairment of the goodwill of the PMAG reporting unit of $24.9 million. The Step 2 impairment was higher than the initial estimate at December 31, 2016 due primarily to the valuation of PMAG's property, plant and equipment during the Step 2 exercise. The Company recorded the additional impairment loss of $8.9 million in the first quarter of 2017.

~~2016 Annual goodwill impairment testing~~

At March 31, 2016, we determined that the Tridien reporting unit (which is reported as a discontinued operation in the accompanying financial statements after the sale of the reporting unit in September 2016) required further quantitative testing (Step 1) because we could not conclude that the fair value of the Arnold reporting unit ~~exceeds its carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. Results of~~exceeded the Step 1 quantitative testing of Tridien indicated that the fair value of Tridien exceeded its carrying value. For the reporting units that were tested qualitatively, the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that the fair value of those reporting units exceeded their carrying value.

A summary of the net carrying value of goodwill at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, is as follows (in thousands):

The purchase price allocation for Crosman is preliminary and is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2017. Clean Earth, Sterno and Crosman each completed add-on acquisitions during 2017. The goodwill related to the Clean Earth acquisition is based on a preliminary purchase price allocation. Crosman and Sterno completed small add-on acquisitions during the third quarter of 2017, and the preliminary purchase price allocations for these add-on acquisitions have not been prepared yet. The goodwill related to these add-on acquisitions represents the excess of purchase price over net assets acquired at September 30, 2017.Arnold had three reporting units which were combined into one reporting unit effective March 31, 2018.

Long lived assets

Annual indefinite lived impairment testing

The Company used a qualitative approach to test indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing. The Company evaluated the qualitative factors of each ~~reporting unit that maintains~~ indefinite lived intangible ~~assets~~asset in connection with the annual impairment testing for ~~2017~~2019 and ~~2016.~~2018.

2018 Credit Facility

On April 18, 2018, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "2018 Credit Facility") to amend and restate the 2014 Credit Facility,

originally dated as of June 6, 2014 (as previously amended) among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”), and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent. The ~~2014~~2018 Credit Facility is secured by all of the assets of the Company, including all of its equity interests in, and loans to, its consolidated subsidiaries. The ~~Company amended the 2014~~2018 Credit Facility ~~in June 2015, primarily~~provides for (i) revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit (the “2018 Revolving Credit Facility”) up to ~~allow for intercompany loans to, and the acquisition of, Canadian-based companies on an unsecured basis, and to modify provisions that would allow for early termination of~~ a "Leverage Increase Period," thereby providing additional flexibility as to the timing of subsequent acquisitions. On August 15, 2016, the Company amended the 2014 Credit Facility to, among other things, increase themaximum aggregate amount of ~~the 2014 Credit Facility by $400 million. On August 31, 2016, the Company entered into an Incremental Facility Amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement~~$600 million (the ~~"Incremental Facility Amendment"). The Incremental Facility Amendment provided for an increase to the 2014~~"2018 Revolving ~~Credit Facility of $150 million,~~Loan Commitment"), and the 2016 Incremental Term Loan, in the amount of $250 million. As a result of the Incremental Facility Amendment, the 2014 Credit Facility currently provides for (i) a revolving credit facility of $550 million (as amended from time to time, the "2014 Revolving Credit Facility"), (ii) a ~~$325~~$500 million term loan (the ~~"2014~~“2018 Term Loan”).

The 2018 Term Loan ~~Facility"),~~was issued at an original issuance discount of 99.75%. The 2018 Term Loan requires quarterly payments of $1.25 million commencing June 30, 2018, with a final payment of all remaining principal and ~~(iii) a $250 million incremental term loan (the "2016 Incremental~~interest due on April 18, 2025, the maturity date of the 2018 Term ~~Loan").~~

~~2014 Revolving Credit Facility~~

~~The 2014~~Loan. All amounts outstanding under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility will become due on April 18, 2023, which is the maturity date of loans advanced under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2018 Credit Facility also permits the Company, prior to the applicable maturity date, to increase the 2018 Revolving Loan Commitment and/or obtain additional term loans in ~~June 2019.~~ an aggregate amount of up to $250 million (the “Incremental Loans”), subject to certain restrictions and conditions.

The Company ~~can~~may borrow, prepay and reborrow principal under the ~~2014~~2018 Revolving Credit Facility from time to time during its term. Advances under the ~~2014~~2018 Revolving Credit Facility can be either ~~LIBOR~~Eurodollar rate loans ~~(as defined below)~~ or base rate loans. ~~LIBOR~~Eurodollar rate revolving loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each interest period at a rate per annum ~~equal to~~based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (the ~~"LIBOR Rate"~~“Eurodollar Rate”) for such interest period plus a margin ranging from ~~2.00%~~1.50% to ~~2.75%~~2.50%, based on the ratio of consolidated net indebtedness to adjusted consolidated earnings before interest expense, tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expenses for such period (the ~~"Consolidated~~“Consolidated Total Leverage ~~Ratio"~~Ratio”). Base rate revolving loans bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at a ~~fluctuating~~ rate per annum equal to the ~~greatest~~highest of (i) ~~the prime~~Federal Funds rate ~~of interest, or~~plus 0.50%, (ii) the ~~Federal Funds~~“prime rate”, and (iii) Eurodollar Rate plus ~~0.50%~~1.0% (the ~~"Base Rate"~~“Base Rate”), plus a margin ranging from ~~1.00%~~0.50% to ~~1.75%~~1.50%, based ~~upon~~on the Company's Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio.

~~Term Loans~~

~~2014 Term Loan~~

The 2014 Term Loan Facility expires in June 2021 and requires quarterly payments that commenced September 30, 2014, with a final payment of all remaining principal and interest due on June 6, 2021. The 2014 Term Loan Facility was issued at an original issue discount of 99.5% of par value.

~~2016 Incremental Term Loan~~

~~The 2016 Incremental Term Loan was issued at an original issue discount of 99.25% of par value. The Company incurred $6.0 million in additional debt issuance costs related to~~Under the ~~Incremental Credit Facility, which will be recognized as expense during the remaining term of the related 2014~~2018 Revolving Credit Facility, and 2014 Term Loan and 2016 Incremental Term Loan. The Incremental Facility Amendment did not change the due dates or applicable interest rates of the 2014 Credit Agreement. The quarterly payments for the term advances under the 2014 Credit Agreement increased to approximately $1.4 million per quarter. The additional advances under the Incremental Credit Facility was a loan modification for accounting purposes. Consequently, the Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $6.0 million associated with fees charged by lenders of the Incremental Credit Facility. The capitalized debt issuance costs will be amortized over the remaining period of the 2014 Credit Facility.

In March 2017, the Company amended the 2014 Credit Facility (the "Fourth Amendment") to reduce the applicable rate of interest for the 2014 Term Loan and 2016 Incremental Term Loan. Under the Fourth Amendment, outstanding LIBOR loans bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable rate of 2.75% and outstanding Base Rate loans bear interest at Base Rate plus 1.75%. Prior to the amendment, the outstanding term loans bore interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% or Base Rate plus 2.25%. In connection with the Fourth Amendment, the Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $1.2 million associated with fees charged by term loan lenders.

~~Other~~

~~The 2014 Credit Facility provides for sub-facilities under the 2014 Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to which~~ an aggregate amount of up to $100 million in letters of credit may be issued, as well as swing line loans of up to $25 million outstanding at one time. The issuance of such letters of credit and the making of any swing line loan would reduce the amount available under the ~~2014~~2018 Revolving Credit Facility.

2014 Credit Facility

The 2014 Credit Facility, as amended, provided for (i) a revolving credit facility of $550 million, (ii) a $325 million term loan (the "2014 Term Loan"), and (iii) a $250 million incremental term loan. The 2018 Credit Facility amended and restated the 2014 Credit Facility.

On April 18, 2018, the Company consummated the issuance and sale of $400 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.000% Senior Notes due 2026 (the “Notes” or "Senior Notes") offered pursuant to a private offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to non-U.S. persons under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to repay debt under its existing credit facilities in connection with a concurrent refinancing transaction described above. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 18, 2018 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.

The Notes will ~~pay (i) commitment fees~~bear interest at the rate of 8.000% per annum and will mature on May 1, 2026. Interest on the ~~unused portion~~Notes is payable in cash on May 1st and November 1st of each year, beginning on November 1, 2018. The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the ~~2014 Revolving Credit Facility ranging from 0.45%~~Company and are not guaranteed by the subsidiaries through which the Company currently conducts substantially all of its operations. The Notes rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, and rank senior in right of payment to ~~0.60% per annum based~~all of the Company’s future subordinated indebtedness, if any. The Notes will be effectively subordinated to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, including the indebtedness under the Company’s credit facilities described above.

The Indenture contains several restrictive covenants including, but not limited to, limitations on ~~its Consolidated Leverage Ratio,~~the following: (i) the incurrence of additional indebtedness, (ii) ~~quarterly letter~~restricted payments, (iii) dividends and other payments affecting restricted

subsidiaries, (iv) the issuance of ~~credit fees,~~preferred stock of restricted subsidiaries, (v) transactions with affiliates, (vi) asset sales and ~~(iii) administrative~~mergers and ~~agency fees.~~consolidations, (vii) future subsidiary guarantees and (viii) liens, subject in each case to certain exceptions.

~~Note J — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities~~

On September 16, 2014, the Company purchased an interest rate swap ("New Swap") with a notional amount of $220 million. The New Swap is effective April 1, 2016 through June 6, 2021, the termination date of the 2014 Term Loan. The agreement requires the Company to pay interest on the notional amount at the rate of 2.97% in exchange for the three-month LIBOR rate. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the New Swap had a fair value loss of $8.8 million and $10.7 million, respectively, principally reflecting the present value of future payments and receipts under the agreement.

The Company did not elect hedge accounting for the above derivative transaction and as a result, periodic mark-to-market changes in fair value are reflected as a component of interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations.

~~Valuation Techniques~~

The Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of any of its other financial assets and liabilities during the period. For details of the Company’s fair value measurement policies under the fair value hierarchy, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.

~~2014 Term Loan and 2016 Incremental Term Loan~~

2019.

At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, the carrying value of the principal under the Company’s outstanding Term ~~Loans,~~Loan, including the current portion, was ~~$561.4~~$493.8 million, which approximates fair value because it has a variable interest rate that reflects market changes in interest rates and changes in the Company's net leverage ratio. The estimated fair value of the outstanding ~~2014~~2018 Term Loan is based on quoted market prices for similar debt issues and is, therefore, classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company's Senior Notes consisted of the following carrying value and estimated fair value (in thousands):

Debt Issuance Costs

Deferred debt issuance costs represent the costs associated with the issuance of the Company's financing arrangements. The Company paid $7.0 million in debt issuance costs related to the Senior Notes issuance, comprised of bank fees, rating agency fees and professional fees. The 2018 Credit Facility was categorized as a debt modification, and the Company incurred $8.4 million of debt issuance costs, $7.8 million of which were capitalized and will be amortized over the life of the related debt instrument, and $0.6 million that were expensed as costs incurred. The Company recorded additional debt modification expense of $0.6 million to write off previously capitalized debt issuance costs. Since the Company can borrow, repay and reborrow principal under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, the debt issuance costs associated with the 2014 and 2018 Revolving Credit Facility of $4.6 million and $5.3 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, have been classified as other non-current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The original issue discount and the debt issuance costs associated with the 2018 Term Loan and Senior Notes are classified as a reduction of long-term debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Interest Rate Swap

In September 2014, the Company purchased an interest rate swap (the "Swap") with a notional amount of $220 million. The Swap is effective April 1, 2016 through June 6, 2021, the original termination date of the 2014 Term Loan. The agreement requires the Company to pay interest on the notional amount at the rate of 2.97% in exchange for the three-month LIBOR rate. At June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Swap had a fair value loss of $5.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, principally reflecting the present value of future payments and receipts under the agreement.

Earnings per share

The Company calculates basic and diluted earnings per share using the two-class method which requires the Company to allocate to participating securities that have rights to earnings that otherwise would have been available only to Trust shareholders as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share. The Allocation Interests are considered participating securities that contain participating rights to receive profit allocations upon the occurrence of a Holding Event or Sale Event. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and ~~2016~~2018 reflects the incremental increase during the period in the profit allocation distribution to Holders related to Holding Events.

Reconciliations of the change in the carrying value of the Level 3 fair value measurements from January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):



	Level 3
Balance at January 1, 2018	$	(178	)
Contingent consideration - Rimports ⁽¹⁾	(4,800		)
Contingent consideration - Ravin ⁽²⁾	(4,734		)

Adjustment to Ravin contingent consideration	360
Reversal of contingent consideration - Rimports	4,800
Balance at January 1, 2019	$	(4,547	)

Balance at June 30, 2019	$	(4,547	)

⁽¹⁾The contingent consideration relates to Sterno's acquisition of Rimports in February 2018. The purchase price of Rimports includes a potential earn-out of up to $25 million contingent on the attainment of certain future performance criteria of Rimports for the twelve-month period from May 1, 2017 to April 30, 2018 and the fourteen month period from March 1, 2018 to April 30, 2019. The fair value of the contingent consideration related to the earn-out was estimated at $4.8 million at acquisition date and was calculated as the present value of a probability adjusted earnout payment based on the expected term of the payment and a risk-adjusted discount rate. At December 31, 2018, the Company determined that the probability of achieving the earn-out was zero and therefore reversed the amount that was recorded as part of the purchase consideration.

⁽²⁾ The contingent consideration relates to Velocity's acquisition of Ravin in September 2018. The purchase price of Ravin includes a potential earn-out of up to $25.0 million contingent on the achievement certain financial metrics for the trailing twelve month period ending December 31, 2018. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated at $4.7 million at acquisition date and was calculated using a risk-adjusted option pricing model. The earnout was adjusted to $4.3 million at December 31, 2018 based on actual results to date. The earnout is currently subject to arbitration and will be paid once the final amount is determined through the arbitration process.

Valuation Techniques

2018 Term Loan

We classify our fixed and floating rate debt as Level 2 items based on quoted market prices for similar debt issues. In April 2018, the Company issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Notes due 2026. The fair value of the Senior Notes was determined based on quoted market prices obtained through an external pricing source which derives its price valuations from daily marketplace transactions, with adjustments to reflect the spreads of benchmark bonds, credit risk and certain other variables. We have determined this to be a Level 2 measurement as all significant inputs into the quote provided by our pricing source are observable in active markets. At June 30, 2019, the carrying value of the principal under the Company’s outstanding 2018 Term Loan, including the current portion, was $493.8 million, which approximates fair value because it has a variable interest rate that reflects market changes in interest rates and changes in the Company's net leverage ratio.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

There were no assets carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis at either June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

Note M — Income taxes

Each fiscal quarter, the Company estimates its annual effective tax rate and applies that rate to its interim pre-tax earnings. In this regard, the Company reflects the full year’s estimated tax impact of certain unusual or infrequently occurring items and the effects of changes in tax laws or rates in the interim period in which they occur.

The computation of the annual estimated effective tax rate in each interim period requires certain estimates and significant judgment, including the projected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in other jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained or as the tax environment changes. Certain foreign operations are subject to foreign income taxation under existing provisions of the laws of those jurisdictions. ~~Pursuant to U.S. tax laws, earnings from those jurisdictions will be subject to the U.S. income tax rate when those earnings are repatriated.~~

The reconciliation between the Federal Statutory Rate and the effective income tax rate for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and ~~2016~~2018 is as follows:


	Nine months ended September 30,				Six months ended June 30,

⁽¹⁾	The effective income tax rate for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and ~~2016~~2018 includes a loss at the Company's parent, which is taxed as a partnership.


⁽²⁾	~~The investment in FOX was held at the Company's parent, which is taxed as a partnership, resulting in the gain or loss on the investment as a reconciling item in deriving the effective tax rate.~~

Note PN — Defined Benefit Plan

In connection with the acquisition of Arnold, the Company has a defined benefit plan covering substantially all of Arnold’s employees at its Lupfig, Switzerland location. The benefits are based on years of service and the employees’ highest average compensation during the specific period.

The unfunded liability of ~~$3.5~~$4.9 million is recognized in the consolidated balance sheet as a component of other non-current liabilities at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019. Net periodic benefit cost consists of the following for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 and ~~2016~~2018 (in thousands):

For the remainder of ~~2017,~~2019, the expected contribution to the plan will be approximately ~~$0.1~~$0.6 million.

The plan assets are pooled with assets of other participating employers and are not separable; therefore, the fair values of the pension plan assets at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 were considered Level 3.

Note QO - Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and legal proceedings. While the ultimate resolution of these matters has yet to be determined, the Company does not believe that any unfavorable outcomes will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Leases

The Company and its subsidiaries lease manufacturing facilities, warehouses, office facilities, retail stores, equipment and vehicles under various operating arrangements. Certain of the leases are subject to escalation clauses and renewal periods. The Company and its subsidiaries recognize lease expense, including predetermined fixed escalations, on a straight-line basis over the initial term of the lease including reasonably assured renewal periods from the time that the Company and its subsidiaries control the leased property. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of our subsidiaries have leases that contain both fixed rent costs and variable rent costs based on achievement of certain operating metrics. The variable lease expense has not been material on a historic basis and no amount was incurred during the quarter ending June 30, 2019. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized $6.3 million and $12.3 million, respectively, in expense related to operating leases in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The maturities of lease liabilities at June 30, 2019 were as follows (in thousands):



2019 (excluding six months ended June 30, 2019)	$	11,143
2020	23,688
2021	20,694
2022	17,901
2023	12,003
Thereafter	39,109
Total undiscounted lease payments	$	124,538
Less: Interest	34,552
Present value of lease liabilities	$	89,986

The calculated amount of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the table above are impacted by the length of the lease term and discount rate used to present value the minimum lease payments. The Company's lease agreements often include one or more options to renew at the company's discretion. In general, it is not reasonably certain that lease renewals will be exercised at lease commencement and therefore lease renewals are not included in the lease term. Regarding the discount rate, Topic 842 requires the use of a rate implicit in the lease whenever this rate is readily determinable. As this rate is rarely determinable, the Company utilizes the incremental borrowing rate of the subsidiary entering into the lease arrangement, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term as adjusted for any country specific risk. For operating leases existing prior to January 1, 2019, the rate for the remaining lease term as of January 1, 2019 was used.

The weighted average remaining lease terms and discount rates for all of our operating leases were as follows as of June 30, 2019:



Lease Term and Discount Rate
Weighted-average remaining lease term (years)	6.41
Weighted-average discount rate	7.83	%

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows (in thousands):

Note ~~R - Subsequent Event~~P — Related Party Transactions

~~In October 2017,~~Management Services Agreement

The Company entered into a Management Services Agreement ("MSA") with CGM effective May 16, 2006. The MSA provides for, among other things, CGM to perform services for the Company ~~further~~in exchange for a management fee paid quarterly and equal to 0.5% of the Company's adjusted net assets, as defined in the MSA. Concurrent with the June 2019 sale of Clean Earth (refer to Note C - Discontinued Operations) CGM agreed to waive the management fee on cash balances held at the Company, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and continuing until the quarter during which the Company next borrows under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility.

Integration Services Agreements

Foam Fabricators, which was acquired in 2018, and Velocity Outdoor, which was acquired in 2017, each entered into an Integration Services Agreements ("ISA") with CGM. The ISA provides for CGM to provide services for new platform acquisitions to, amongst other things, assist the management at the acquired entities in establishing a corporate governance program, implement compliance and reporting requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, and align the ~~2014 Credit Facility (the "First Refinancing Amendment") to, in effect,~~ ~~refinance~~acquired entity's policies and procedures with our other subsidiaries. Each ISA is for the ~~2014 Term Loan and the 2016 Incremental Term Loan (together, the “Term Loans”). Pursuant~~twelve month period subsequent to the ~~First Refinancing Amendment,~~ ~~outstanding Term Loans~~acquisition. Velocity Outdoor paid CGM a total of $1.5 million in integration services fees, with $0.75 million paid in 2018. Foam Fabricators paid CGM $2.3 million over the term of the ISA, $2.0 million in 2018 and $0.3 million in 2019. Integration services fees are included in selling, general and administrative expense on the subsidiaries' statement of operations in the period in which they are incurred.

The Company and its businesses have the following significant related party transactions:

Sterno Recapitalization

In January 2018, the Company completed a recapitalization at ~~LIBOR Rate bear interest at LIBOR plus~~Sterno whereby the Company entered into an ~~applicable rate of 2.25% and outstanding Term Loans at Base Rate bear interest at Base Rate plus 1.25%. Prior~~amendment to the ~~amendment,~~intercompany loan agreement with Sterno (the "Sterno Loan Agreement"). The Sterno Loan Agreement was amended to (i) provide for term loan borrowings of $56.8 million to fund a distribution to the Company, which owned 100% of the outstanding ~~Term Loans bore interest~~equity of Sterno at ~~LIBOR plus 2.75% or Base Rate plus 1.75%.~~the time of the recapitalization, and (ii) extend the maturity dates of the term loans. In connection with the ~~First Refinancing Amendment,~~recapitalization, Sterno's management team exercised all of their vested stock options, which represented 58,000 shares of Sterno. The Company then used a portion of the ~~Company incurred $1.4~~distribution to repurchase the 58,000 shares from management for a total purchase price of $6.0 million. In addition, Sterno issued new stock options to replace the exercised options, thus maintaining the same percentage of fully diluted non-controlling interest that existed prior to the recapitalization.

5.11

Related Party Vendor Purchases - 5.11 purchases inventory from a vendor who is a related party to 5.11 through one of the executive officers of 5.11 via the executive's 40% ownership interest in the vendor. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, 5.11 purchased approximately $0.8 million ~~of debt issuance costs associated with fees charged by term loan lenders.~~and $2.1 million, respectively, in inventory from the vendor.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

"U.S. ~~GAAP refers~~GAAP" or "GAAP" refer to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future performance, financial position or cash flow that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude amounts, included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our financial statements, and vice versa for measures that include amounts, or are subject to adjustments that effectively include amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure as calculated and presented. Our Manitoba Harvest acquisition uses the Canadian Dollar as its functional currency. We will periodically refer to net sales and net sales growth rates in the Manitoba Harvest management's discussion and analysis on a "constant currency" basis so that the business results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of Manitoba Harvest's business performance. "Constant currency" net sales results are calculated by translating current period net sales in local currency using the prior year’s currency conversion rate. Generally, when the dollar either strengthens or weakens against other currencies, the growth at constant currency rates or adjusting for currency will be higher or lower than growth reported at actual exchange rates. "Constant currency" measured net sales is not a measure of net sales presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The historical operating results of Rimports prior to acquisition by Sterno on February 26, 2018 have been added to the results of operations of Sterno for the six months ended June 30, 2018 for comparability purposes. Where appropriate, relevant pro forma adjustments are reflected as part of the historical operating results. We believe this is the most meaningful comparison of the operating results for each of our business segments. The following results of operations at each of our businesses are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

During the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 compared to ~~2016,~~2018, we ~~also~~ saw a notable increase in net sales ~~increase~~ at ~~Clean Earth~~5.11 ($~~4.2~~8.1 million ~~primarily due to two acquisitions in 2016 and one acquisition in 2017)~~increase), ~~partially~~ offset by ~~a decrease~~decreases in net sales at ~~our Liberty~~Velocity Outdoor ($~~5.4~~6.0 million decrease), ~~Ergobaby~~Arnold ($~~1.8~~1.7 million decrease), ~~Manitoba Harvest~~Foam Fabricators ($~~2.0~~1.5 million decrease) and Sterno ($~~2.9~~1.5 million decrease) ~~subsidiaries.~~. Refer to "Results of Operations - ~~Our Businesses"~~Business Segments" for a more detailed analysis of net ~~sales~~revenues by business segment.

We do not generate any revenues apart from those generated by the businesses we own. We may generate interest income on the investment of available funds, but we expect such earnings to be minimal. Our investment in our businesses is typically in the form of loans from the Company to such businesses, as well as equity interests in those companies. Cash flows coming to the Trust and the Company are the result of interest payments on those loans, amortization of those loans and dividends on our equity ownership. However, on a consolidated basis, these items will be eliminated.

Cost of ~~sales~~revenues

On a consolidated basis, cost of ~~sales increased~~revenues decreased approximately ~~$36.4~~$8.0 million during the three ~~month period~~months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019 compared to the corresponding period in ~~2016. 5.11 Tactical accounted for $17.2 million of the increase, while our Crosman acquisition accounted for $29.0 million of the increase~~2018. The decrease in cost of ~~sales during the three months ended September 30, 2017. Clean Earth accounted for $2.9~~revenues reflects notable decreases at Sterno ($5.7 million ~~of the increase due to acquisitions in the prior~~decrease) and ~~current year. These increases were offset by decreases in cost of sales at other operating segments, particularly Ergobaby~~Velocity ($~~4.8 million), Liberty ($4.7 million) and Arnold ($1.4 million)~~3.3 million decrease). Gross profit as a percentage of ~~sales~~net revenues was approximately ~~36.3%~~36.5% in the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 compared to ~~32.7%~~34.8% in the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016.~~2018.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expense in the 2017 quarter compared to 2016 is principally the result of the 5.11 Tactical acquisition in August 2016 ($23.6 million) and Crosman in June 2017 ($5.1 million, including $0.3 million in transaction costs incurred for acquisition costs during the quarter).2018. Refer to "Results of Operations - ~~Our Businesses"~~Business Segments" for a more detailed analysis of selling, general and administrative expense by business segment. At the corporate level, general and administrative expense was ~~$2.8~~$3.1 million in the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2017~~2019 and ~~$2.7~~$4.0 million in the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2016.~~2018. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense at Corporate was primarily due to $0.6 million of professional fees in the prior year associated with the refinancing of our credit facility in the second quarter of 2018.

Fees to manager

Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement ("MSA"), we pay CGM a quarterly management fee equal to 0.5% (2.0% annually) of our consolidated adjusted net assets. We accrue for the management fee on a quarterly basis. For the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, we incurred approximately ~~$8.3~~$8.5 million in management fees as compared to ~~$8.4~~$10.8 million in fees in the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016.~~2018. The decrease was attributable to the sale of Manitoba Harvest in the first quarter of 2019 and Clean Earth in the second quarter of 2019. Concurrent with the June 2019 sale of Clean Earth, CGM agreed to waive the management fee on cash balances held at the Company, commencing with the quarter ended June 30, 2019 and continuing until the quarter during which the Company next borrows under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility.

Amortization expense

Amortization expense for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017 increased $5.7~~2019 decreased $0.9 million as compared to the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016~~2018 primarily as a result of finalization of the ~~acquisitions~~purchase price allocations related to the acquisition of ~~5.11~~Foam Fabricators and Rimports in February 2018, offset by the amortization of intangible assets at Velocity related to the Ravin acquisition in August ~~2016 and Crosman~~2018.

Interest Expense

We recorded interest expense totaling $18.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $13.5 million for the comparable period in 2018, an increase of $5.0 million.

~~Cost of sales~~Gross profit

Cost of sales was approximately $9.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $4.8 million. Cost of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 included expense of $3.7 million related to the inventory step-up at Baby Tula resulting from the purchase price allocation. The remaining increase in cost of sales is primarily attributable to the reduction of sales compared to the prior period.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to the comparable period in the prior year is due to expenses related to the bankruptcy of a large U.S. retail customer that were incurred in the first quarter of 2018, reduction in marketing spend, lower variable expenses related to sales, and a decrease in payroll expense during the current period.

Net sales

Net sales for the quarter ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017, as~~2019 increased approximately $0.2 million, or 1.1%, to $20.6 million, compared to ~~65.9% (excluding~~ the ~~effect of the inventory step-up~~corresponding quarter ended June 30, 2018. Non-Dealer sales were comparable quarter over quarter at ~~Baby Tula) for~~approximately $8.2 million in both the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016.~~2019 and June 30, 2018. Dealer sales totaled approximately $12.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $12.2 million in the same period in 2018, representing an increase of $0.3 million or 2.5%.

Gross profit

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales totaled approximately 22.5% and 24.6% for the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 is primarily attributable to capitalized inventory variances and lower profit on dealer sales in the current quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expense

Selling, general and administrative expense was ~~$10.0~~$2.8 million ~~or 35.8% of net sales~~ for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017 as~~2019 compared to ~~$9.9~~$3.3 million ~~or 33.5%~~for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense during the current quarter is primarily related to planned expense reductions and the timing of annual advertising spend. Selling, general and administrative expense represented 13.8% of net sales in the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 16.0% of net sales for the same period of 2016. While selling, general and administrative expenses were flat, this resulted from an increase in a bad debt reserve related to a large retail customer that filed for bankruptcy during the third quarter of 2017, which was offset by lower professional fees.

~~Net sales~~

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $77.7 million, an increase of $2.7 million, or 3.6%, compared to the same period in 2016. Net sales from Baby Tula for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were $16.5 million, compared to $10.6 million in sales in the post-May acquisition period in 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, international sales were approximately $46.3 million, representing an increase of $5.6 million over the corresponding period in 2016. International sales of baby carriers and accessories increased by approximately $6.8 million and international sales of infant travel systems decreased by approximately $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the comparable nine month period in 2016. ~~Baby~~Tula international sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $2.8 million from the corresponding period in 2017. Domestic sales were $31.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, reflecting a decrease of $2.9 million compared to the corresponding period in 2016. The decrease in domestic sales is attributable to a $4.4 million decrease in domestic infant travel systems and accessories sales, a $1.7 million decrease in sales of Ergo branded baby carrier and accessories to national and specialty retail accounts, partially offset by a $3.2 million increase in Baby Tula domestic sales. The decrease in baby carrier and accessories sales was attributable to the overall weakness in the U.S. retail market during the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in infant travel systems and accessories sales was primarily attributable to exiting the Orbit Baby business during 2016. Baby carriers and accessories represented 100% of sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 92% in the same period in 2016.

~~Cost of sales~~

Cost of sales was approximately $25.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $29.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $3.7 million. Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 included expense of $3.7 million related to the inventory step-up at Baby Tula resulting from the purchase price allocation. Gross profit as a percentage of sales was 67.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 66.1% for the same period in 2016 after excluding the effect of the inventory step-up at Baby Tula.

~~Selling, general and administrative expense~~

Selling, general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased to approximately $28.4 million, or 36.5%, of net sales compared to $27.5 million or 36.6% of net sales for the same period of 2016. The $0.9 million increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 is primarily attributable to increases in variable expenses, such as distribution and fulfillment and commission, due to the increases in direct market sales, to increases in employee related costs due to increased staffing levels, due in part to the addition of Baby Tula in 2016 and to a bad debt reserve related to a large retail customer that filed for bankruptcy in the third quarter of 2017. These increases were partially offset by lower professional fees and marketing expenses, due to the timing of marketing spend, and to lower acquisition costs, related to the 2016 Baby Tula acquisition.

~~Amortization of intangible assets~~

Amortization of intangible assets increased $7.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016 due primarily to the amortization of intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Baby Tula in the prior year.

~~Loss on disposal of assets~~

Ergobaby recorded a $7.2 million loss on disposal of assets during 2016 related to its decision to dispose of the Orbit Baby product line. The loss was comprised of the write-off of intangible assets of $5.5 million, property, plant and equipment of $0.4 million, and other assets of $1.0 million. Ergobaby also recorded expense of $0.3 million related to the early termination of the Orbitbaby lease.

~~Income from operations~~

Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased $5.6 million, to $14.7 million, compared to $9.1 million for the same period of 2016, primarily as a result of the loss on disposal of assets that was recorded in 2016.

~~Net sales~~

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were approximately $79.4 million, a decrease of $3.4 million compared to the same period in 2016. The decrease in net sales is primarily a result of decreases in the PMAG ($1.8 million) and Flexmag ($1.5 million) product sectors. PMAG sales represented approximately 73% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 72% of net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease in PMAG sales is principally attributable to lower sales of reprographic products. The decrease in Flexmag sales is attributable to lower overall customer demand.

International sales were $31.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $33.7 million during the same period in 2016, a decrease of $2.0 million or 5.9%. The decrease in international sales is due to a decrease in sales at PMAG.

The remaining revenue has been generated by dredge material, which consists of sediment removed from the floor of a body of water for navigational purposes and/or environmental remediation of contaminated waterways and is treated at one of its two permitted dredge processing facilities. Approximately 98% of the material processed by Clean Earth is beneficially reused for such purposes as daily landfill cover, industrial and brownfield redevelopment projects.

~~Three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016.~~

~~Service revenues~~

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were approximately $55.7 million, an increase of $4.2 million, or 8.1%, compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in revenues is primarily due to acquisitions made in the second quarter of 2016 and the first quarter of 2017 as well as an increase in contaminated soil revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, contaminated soil revenue increased 8% as compared to the same period last year, which is principally attributable to recent large project awards. Hazardous waste revenues increased 30% principally as a result of acquisitions. Revenue from dredged material decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 due to the timing of projects. Contaminated soils represented approximately 55% of net service revenues for both the three months ended September 30, 2017 and the three months ended September 30, 2016.

~~Cost of services~~

Cost of services for the three months ended September 30, 2017 were approximately $39.8 million compared to approximately $36.9 million in the same period of 2016. The increase in costs of services was primarily due to the increased revenue and volume, as well as the mix of services. Gross profit as a percentage of service revenues was flat quarter over quarter, increasing from 28.4% for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 to 28.5% for the same period ended September 30, 2017.

~~Selling, general and administrative expense~~

Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased to approximately $6.8 million, or 12.2%, of service revenues, as compared to $7.4 million, or 14.3%, of service revenues for the same period in 2016. ~~The decrease was primarily due to decreased labor costs.~~

~~Income from operations~~

Income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was approximately $5.6 million as compared to income from operations of $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $2.0 million, primarily as a result of those factors described above.

~~Nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2016~~

~~Service revenues~~

Service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were approximately $153.4 million, an increase of $19.3 million, or 14.4%, compared to the same period in 2016. The increase in service revenues is principally due to two acquisitions in 2016 and one in 2017, as well as increased contaminated soil revenue, offset in part by lower dredge revenue.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, contaminated soil revenue increased 13% as compared to the same period last year principally attributable to increased development activity in the Northeast and an acquisition made in 2016. Hazardous waste revenues increased 32% principally as a result of acquisitions. Revenue from dredged material decreased 44% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 due to the timing of new bidding activity. Contaminated soils represented approximately 57% of net service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 58% for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

~~Cost of services~~

Cost of services for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 were approximately $110.6 million compared to approximately $96.0 million in the same period of 2016. Gross profit as a percentage of service revenues decreased from 28.4% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 to 27.9% for the same period ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in gross margin during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to reduced dredged material volume.

~~Selling, general and administrative expense~~

Selling, general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 increased to approximately $25.2 million, or 16.4%, of service revenues, as compared to $22.3 million, or 16.6%, of service revenues for the same period in 2016. The $2.9 million increase in selling, general and administrative expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to 2016 is primarily attributable to ~~acquisitions and increased corporate expenses.~~

~~Income from operations~~

Income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was approximately $7.6 million, an increase of $1.7 million as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily as a result of those factors described above.

Three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to three months ended June 30, 2018

Net sales

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2019 were $31.6 million, a decrease of $1.5 million, or 4.7%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to a nonrecurring customer from the prior year as well as a decrease in sales in the automotive and protective packaging categories in the current period.

Gross profit

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 29.6% and 27.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to the decreasing price of expanded polystyrene ("EPS") resin. A majority of Foam Fabricator's products are made with EPS resin, an oil and natural gas derived polymer with an added expansion agent, therefore raw material costs will increase with increases in the price of oil and natural gas.

Selling, general and administrative expense

Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $2.7 million as compared to $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of $0.3 million. Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2018 included $0.3 million in integration service fees paid to CGM. Excluding the effect of the integration service fee, selling general and administrative expense was comparable quarter over quarter.

Income from operations

Income from operations was $4.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018, an increase of $1.3 million, primarily as a result of the factors noted above as well as lower amortization expense of intangible assets in the current quarter as compared to the estimate of amortization expense based on the initial draft of the purchase price allocation included in the quarter ended June 30, 2018.

Six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to pro forma six months ended June 30, 2018

Net sales

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $62.3 million, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 2.1%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to a nonrecurring customer from the prior year as well as well as a decrease in sales in the automotive and protective packaging categories in the current period.

Gross profit

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 28.6% and 26.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2018 included $0.7 million of expense related to the amortization of inventory step-up resulting from the purchase price allocation of Foam Fabricators. Excluding the effect of the inventory step-up, prior year gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 27.0%. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the six months ended June 30, 2019 was due to decreasing EPS prices in the current year.

Selling, general and administrative expense

Selling, general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $5.5 million as compared to $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, a decrease of $1.9 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, we had approximately ~~$41.5~~$485.9 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, an increase of ~~$1.7~~$437.1 million as compared to the year ended December 31, ~~2016. The increase in cash is due~~2018 primarily toas a result of the proceeds received from our sale of ~~our remaining shares of our FOX investment~~Manitoba Harvest in ~~the first quarter of 2017, which resulted~~February 2019 and Clean Earth in ~~net proceeds of $136.1 million, and the issuance of preferred shares in the second quarter of 2017, offset by our acquisition of Crosman and our common share distributions.~~June 2019. The majority of our cash is in non-interest bearing checking accounts or invested in short-term money market accounts and is maintained in accordance with the Company’s investment policy, which identifies allowable investments and specifies credit quality standards.

For the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, cash flows provided by operating activities totaled approximately ~~$59.2~~$8.7 million, which represents a ~~$1.4~~$26.7 million decrease compared to cash provided by operating activities of ~~$60.6~~$35.3 million during the ~~nine month~~six-month period ended ~~September~~June 30, 2016 (from both continuing and discontinued operations). This decrease is principally the result of changes in cash used for working capital and non-cash charges in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily as a result of the 5.11 acquisition, which occurred in the third quarter of 2016, and the effect of the cash flows from add-on acquisitions completed in 2016.2018. Cash used in operating activities for working capital for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 was ~~$24.3~~$17.5 million, as compared to cash used in operating activities for working capital of ~~$5.0~~$4.7 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2016.~~2018. The increase ~~was primarily due to~~in cash used for ~~inventory~~working capital purposes in the current year primarily reflects the effect of our acquisitions that occurred in February 2018 which resulted in a significant increase in cash needed to fund working capital, particularly at Rimports, our Sterno add-on acquisition. The decrease in cash flows provided by operating activities in the current year was also attributable to the change in the mark-to-market on our ~~branded consumer businesses during~~interest rate swap, with the ~~third quarter.~~six months ended June 30, 2018 having an unrealized gain of $3.9 million, and the six months ending June 30, 2019 having an unrealized loss of $3.4 million, for a net change of $7.3 million due to the change in the present value of future payments and receipts under the interest rate swap agreement.

million, which was used to fund the acquisitions of 5.11, as well as the acquisitions of Baby Tula by Ergobaby, a Clean Earth add-on acquisition and the repurchase of Ergobaby common stock from a noncontrolling shareholder. We also completed the Series A Preferred Share offering during the second quarter of 2017, resulting in cash proceeds net of transaction costs, of $96.4 million.

Intercompany Debt

A component of our acquisition financing strategy that we utilize in acquiring the businesses we own and manage is to provide both equity capital and debt capital, raised at the parent level through our existing credit facility. Our strategy of providing intercompany debt financing within the capital structure of the businesses that we acquire and manage allows us the ability to distribute cash to the parent company through monthly interest payments and amortization of the principal on these intercompany loans. Each loan to our businesses has a scheduled maturity and each business is entitled to repay all or a portion of the principal amount of the outstanding loans, without penalty, prior to maturity. Certain of our businesses have paid down their respective intercompany debt balances through the cash flow generated by these businesses and we have recapitalized, and expect to continue to recapitalize, these businesses in the normal course of our business. The recapitalization process involves funding the intercompany debt using either cash on hand at the parent or our ~~revolving credit facility,~~applicable Credit Facility, and serves the purpose of optimizing the capital structure at our subsidiaries and providing the noncontrolling shareholders with a distribution on their ownership interest in a cash flow positive business. In January 2018, the Company completed a recapitalization at Sterno whereby the Company entered into an amendment to the intercompany loan agreement with Sterno (the "Sterno Loan Agreement"). The Sterno Loan Agreement was amended to (i) provide for term loan borrowings of $57.7 million to fund a distribution to the Company, which owned 100% of the outstanding equity of Sterno at the time of the recapitalization, and (ii) extend the maturity dates of the term loans.

~~As a result of significant investment in operational improvements to enhance its competitive position, including planned capital expenditures~~to reposition Arnold for future growth, we have granted Arnold a waiver for certain financial covenants under their intercompany debt agreement effective the quarter ended June 30, 2017 through December 31, 2017. Additionally, dueDue to significant capital expenditures related to the implementation of a new ERP system, ~~and a~~ warehouse expansion and retail roll out, we ~~have~~ granted 5.11 ~~a waiver~~waivers under their intercompany debt agreement effective as of the quarter ended September 30, ~~2017.~~2017 through December 31, 2018. The ~~waiver permits~~waivers permitted 5.11 to ~~exclude~~increase its allowable capital expenditure limits and excluded certain capital expenditures associated with the ERP system and warehouse expansion from the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio.

We further amended the 5.11 intercompany debt agreement during 2018 to allow for an additional $5.0 million outstanding debt to be permitted under 5.11's Term B loan. In the first quarter of 2019, we further amended the 5.11 intercompany debt agreement to update the definition of capital expenditures to exclude capital expenditures made with respect to 5.11's retail stores from the calculation of the fixed charge coverage ratio. 5.11 was in compliance with the covenants under their intercompany debt agreement at June 30, 2019. Subsequent to the third quarter of 2018, we amended the Sterno Loan Agreement to increase the amount available to Sterno under their intercompany revolving credit facility. Liberty was not in compliance with the financial covenants under their intercompany loan agreement at December 31, 2018, and we amended the Liberty intercompany debt agreement to grant a waiver to them through the quarter ended December 31, 2019. Except as previously noted, all of our subsidiaries were in compliance with the financial covenants included within their intercompany credit arrangements at June 30, 2019.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, we had the following outstanding loans due from each of our businesses:

5.11 Tactical	$	185,750	$	198,577
Crosman	$	97,327

Our primary source of cash is from the receipt of interest and principal on the outstanding loans to our businesses. Accordingly, we are dependent upon the earnings of and cash flow from these businesses, which are available for (i) operating expenses; (ii) payment of principal and interest under our ~~2014~~2018 Credit Facility; (iii) payments to CGM due pursuant to the ~~Management Services Agreement~~MSA and the LLC Agreement; (iv) cash distributions to our shareholders; and (v) investments in future acquisitions. Payments made under (iii) above are required to be paid before distributions to shareholders and may be significant and exceed the funds held by us, which may require us to dispose of assets or incur debt to fund such expenditures.

We believe that we currently have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our existing obligations, including quarterly distributions to our shareholders, as approved by our board of directors, over the next twelve months. The quarterly distribution for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 on our common shares was paid on October 26, 2017 and totaled $21.6 million. A distribution on our Series A Preferred Shares of $2.5 million was paid on October 30, 2017.

~~Investment in FOX~~Financing Arrangements

On March 13, 2017, Fox Factory Holding Corp. ("FOX") closed on a secondary public offering of 5,108,718 shares of FOX common stock held by CODI, which represented CODI's remaining investment in FOX. CODI received $136.1 million in net proceeds as a result of the sale. We acquired a controlling interest in FOX in January 2008 for approximately $80.4 million. FOX completed an initial public offering in August 2013, and additional secondary offerings in July 2014, March, August and

~~November 2016, and March 2017. We sold shares of FOX in each of these offerings, recognizing total net proceeds of $465.1 million.~~

~~2014~~2018 Credit Facility

~~On June 6, 2014, we entered into a new credit facility, the 2014 Credit Facility, which replaced our then existing 2011 Credit Facility entered into in October 2011. On August 31, 2016,~~In April 2018, we entered into an ~~Incremental Facility Amendment~~Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "2018 Credit Facility") to amend and restate the 2014 Credit ~~Agreement.~~Facility. The ~~Incremental Facility Amendment provided an increase to the 2014 Revolving~~2018 Credit Facility ~~of $150.0 million, and the 2016 Incremental Term Loan in the amount of $250.0 million. The 2014 Credit Facility now~~ provides for (i) revolving loans, swing line loans and letters of credit (the “2018 Revolving Credit Facility”) up to a maximum aggregate amount of ~~$550~~$600 million (the “2018 Revolving Loan Commitment”), and ~~matures in June 2019,~~ (ii) a ~~$325~~$500 million term loan ~~and (iii) a $250 million incremental term loan. Our 2014~~(the “2018 Term ~~Loan and 2016 Incremental Term Loan requires quarterly payments with a final payment of the outstanding principal balance due in June 2021. (Refer to~~ ~~Note I - "Debt"~~ ~~of the condensed consolidated financial statements for a complete description of our 2014 Credit Facility.)~~

In March 2017, we amended the 2014 Credit Facility (the "Fourth Amendment") to reduce the applicable rate of interest for the 2014 Term Loan and 2016 Incremental Term Loan. Under the Fourth Amendment, outstanding LIBOR loans bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable rate of 2.75% and outstanding Base Rate loans bear interest at Base Rate plus 1.75%. Prior to the amendment, the outstanding term loans bore interest at LIBOR plus 3.25% or Base Rate plus 2.25%.

~~In October 2017, the Company further amended the 2014 Credit Facility (the "First Refinancing Amendment") to, in effect,~~ ~~refinance the 2014 Term Loan and the 2016 Incremental Term Loan (together, the “Term Loans”~~Loan”). ~~Pursuant to the First Refinancing Amendment,~~ outstanding Term Loans at LIBOR Rate bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable rate of 2.25% and outstanding Term Loans at Base Rate bear interest at Base Rate plus 1.25%. Prior to the amendment, the outstanding Term Loans bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% or Base Rate plus 1.75%.

We had ~~$523.2~~$599.8 million in net availability under the ~~2014~~2018 Revolving Credit Facility at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019. The outstanding borrowings under the ~~2014~~2018 Revolving Credit Facility ~~includes $1.3~~include $0.2 million ~~at September 30, 2017~~ of outstanding letters of ~~credit.~~credit at June 30, 2019. At June 30, 2019, we had $493.8 million outstanding on the 2018 Term Loan. In July 2019, we repaid $193.8 million of the outstanding amount due under the 2018 Term Loan, leaving a remaining balance of $300 million as of July 31, 2019.

Senior Notes

On April 18, 2018, we consummated the issuance and sale of $400 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.000% due 2026 (the "Notes" or "Senior Notes") offered pursuant to a private offering to qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to non-U.S. persons under Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of April 18, 2018 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes will bear interest at the rate of 8.000% per annum and will mature on May 1, 2026. Interest on the Notes is payable in cash on May 1st and November 1st of each year. The Notes are general senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are not guaranteed by our subsidiaries.

The following table reflects required and actual financial ratios as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017~~2019 included as part of the affirmative covenants in our ~~2014~~2018 Credit ~~Facility:~~ Facility.

We intend to use the availability under our 2014 Credit Facility and cash on hand to pursue acquisitions of additional businesses to the extent permitted under our 2014 Credit Facility, to fund distributions and to provide for other working capital needs.

⁽¹⁾On September 16, 2014, we purchased an interest rate swap (the ~~"New Swap"~~"Swap") with a notional amount of $220 million effective April 1, 2016 through June 6, 2021. The agreement requires us to pay interest on the notional amount at the rate

of 2.97% in exchange for the three-month LIBOR rate. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017,~~2019, the ~~New~~current portion of the Swap was in a liability position and had a fair value ~~loss~~ of ~~$8.8~~$2.2 million, ~~reflecting~~and the non-current portion of the Swap was in a liability position

~~Income Taxes~~

~~We incurred an income tax benefit of $2.0 million with an~~ effective ~~income tax~~interest rate of (11.2)% during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to income tax expense of $9.8 million with an effective income tax rate of 15.8% during the same period in 2016. The impairment expense aton our ~~Arnold business and non-deductible costs at the corporate level,~~credit facilities, including the effect of the ~~loss~~Swap, and excluding the interest on our equity investment of FOX prior to the sale of our FOX shares in the first quarter, account for the majority of the remaining difference in our effective income tax rates in the first nine months of 2017, while non-deductible costs at the corporate level, including the gain on our equity investment in FOX, account for the majority of the remaining differences in the first nine months of 2016. Certain foreign operations are subject to foreign income taxation under existing provisions of the laws of those jurisdictions. Pursuant to U.S. tax laws, earnings from those jurisdictions will be subject to the U.S. income tax rate when those earnings are repatriated.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

GAAP or U.S. GAAP ~~refers~~refer to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. From time to time we may publicly disclose certain "non-GAAP" financial measures in the course of our investor presentations, earnings releases, earnings conference calls or other venues. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of historical or future performance, financial position or cash flow that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that effectively exclude amounts, included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in our financial statements, and vice versa for measures that include amounts, or are subject to adjustments that effectively include amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure as calculated and presented.

Non-GAAP financial measures are provided as additional information to investors in order to provide them with an alternative method for assessing our financial condition and operating results. These measures are not meant to be a substitute for GAAP, and may be different from or otherwise inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The tables below reconcile the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to Earnings before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted EBITDA, and Cash Flow Available for Distribution and Reinvestment ("CAD").

Reconciliation of Net income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA ~~–EBITDA~~ – EBITDA is calculated as net income (loss) ~~from continuing operations~~ before interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation expense and amortization expense. Amortization expenses consist of amortization of intangibles and debt charges, including debt issuance costs, discounts, etc.

Adjusted EBITDA – Adjusted EBITDA is calculated utilizing the same calculation as described above in arriving at EBITDA further adjusted ~~by;~~by: (i) noncontrolling stockholder compensation, which generally consists of non-cash stock option expense; (ii) successful acquisition costs, which consist of transaction costs (legal, accounting, due diligence, etc.,) incurred in connection with the successful acquisition of a business expensed during the period in compliance with ASC 805; (iii) management fees, which reflect fees due quarterly to our Manager in connection with our ~~Management Services Agreement ("MSA’),~~MSA, as well as Integration Services Fees paid by newly acquired companies; (iv) impairment charges, which reflect write downs to goodwill or other intangible assets; ~~(v) gains or losses recorded in connection with our investment;~~and (vi) ~~gains or losses recorded in connection with the sale of fixed assets and (vii)~~ foreign currency transaction gains or losses incurred in connection with the conversion of intercompany debt from a foreign functional currency to U.S. dollar.

We believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors and reflect important financial measures as they exclude the effects of items which reflect the impact of long-term investment decisions, rather than the performance of near term operations. When compared to income (loss) from continuing operations these financial measures are limited in that they do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capital assets used in generating revenues of our businesses or the non-cash charges associated with impairments. This presentation also allows investors to view the performance of our businesses in a manner similar to the methods used by us and the management of our businesses, provides additional insight into our operating results and provides a measure for evaluating targeted businesses for acquisition.

We believe that these measurements are also useful in measuring our ability to service debt and other payment obligations. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not meant to be a substitute for GAAP, and may be different from or otherwise inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The following tables reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), which we consider to be the most comparable GAAP financial measure (in thousands):

Cash Flow Available for Distribution and Reinvestment

The table below details cash receipts and payments that are not reflected on our income statement in order to provide an additional measure of management's estimate of cash available for distribution ("CAD"). CAD is a non-GAAP measure that we believe provides additional, useful information to our shareholders in order to enable them to evaluate our ability to make anticipated quarterly distributions. CAD is not meant to be a substitute for GAAP, and may be different from or otherwise inconsistent with non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies.

The following table reconciles CAD to net income (loss) and cash flows provided by ~~(used in)~~ operating activities, which we consider to be the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to adopt accounting policies and make estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions and judgments and uncertainties, and potentially could result in materially different results under different conditions. These critical accounting estimates are reviewed periodically by our independent auditors and the audit committee of our board of directors.

Except as set forth below, our critical accounting estimates have not changed materially from those disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on ~~March 2, 2017.~~February 27, 2019.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Asset Impairment Testing

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess amount of the purchase price over the fair value of the assets acquired. Our goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment on an annual basis as of March 31^st, and if current events or circumstances require, on an interim basis. Goodwill is allocated to various reporting units, which are generally an operating segment or one level below the operating segment. Each of our businesses represents a reporting ~~unit except Arnold, which is comprised of three reporting units, and each reporting unit is included in our annual impairment test.~~

unit.

We use a qualitative approach to test goodwill for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment testing. The qualitative factors we consider include, in part, the general macroeconomic environment, industry and market specific conditions for each reporting unit, financial performance including actual versus planned results and results of relevant prior periods, operating costs and cost impacts, as well as issues or events specific to the reporting unit. If qualitative factors are not sufficient to determine that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not to exceed its carrying value. we will perform a quantitative test the reporting unit whereby we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using an income approach or market approach, or a weighting of the two methods. Under the income approach, we estimate the fair value of our reporting unit based on the present value of future cash flows. Cash flow projections are based on Management's estimate of revenue growth rates and operating margins and take into consideration industry and market conditions as well as company specific economic factors. The discount rate used is based on the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the business and the uncertainty associated with the reporting unit's ability to execute on the projected cash flows. Under the market approach, we estimate fair value based on market multiples of revenue and earnings derived from comparable public companies with operating characteristics that are

~~2017~~similar to the reporting unit. When market comparables are not meaningful or available, we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using only the income approach.

2019 Annual Impairment Testing

At- For our annual impairment testing at March 31, ~~2017,~~2019, we determined that ~~the Manitoba Harvest reporting unit~~our Liberty operating segment required ~~further~~ quantitative testing ~~(Step 1)~~ because we could not conclude that the fair value of ~~the reporting unit exceeds~~Liberty significantly exceeded its carrying value based on qualitative factors alone. ~~For~~We concluded the ~~Step 1~~goodwill impairment testing during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. The results of the quantitative impairment ~~test at Manitoba, the Company utilized an income approach. The weighted average cost of capital used in the income approach at Manitoba was 12.0%. Results~~testing of the ~~Step 1 quantitative testing of Manitoba Harvest~~Liberty reporting unit indicated that the fair value of ~~Manitoba Harvest~~the Liberty reporting unit exceeded ~~its~~the carrying ~~value. For the~~value by 135%. All of our other reporting units ~~that~~ were tested qualitatively as of March 31, 2019, and the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that the fair value ~~of those~~exceeded their carrying value.

For the reporting units that were tested qualitatively for the 2019 annual impairment testing, the results of the qualitative analysis indicated that it is more likely than not that the fair value exceeded their carrying value.

~~Manitoba Harvest~~

We2018 Annual Impairment Testing - Our Arnold operating segment previously had three separate reporting units. As a result of changes implemented by Arnold management during 2016 and 2017, we reassessed the reporting units at Arnold as of the annual impairment testing date in 2018. The separate Arnold reporting units were determined to only comprise one reporting unit at the Arnold operating segment level as of March 31, 2018. As part of the exercise of combining the separate Arnold reporting units into one reporting unit, we performed ~~Step 1~~"before" and "after" goodwill impairment testing, ~~during~~whereby we performed the ~~2017~~ annual impairment testing for ~~Manitoba Harvest. Subsequent~~each of the existing reporting units of Arnold and then subsequent to the completion of the annual impairment ~~test,~~testing of the separate reporting units, we ~~have compared the Manitoba Harvest operating results to the forecasts used in the Step 1 testing and noted no material variances in the results. However, there is~~performed a ~~significant degree of uncertainty inherent in the assumptions used to develop the forecast amounts used in the annual~~quantitative impairment test ~~given the changing nature of consumer tastes, particularly related to future years. Therefore, the results~~ of the ~~forecast process for 2018, which are expected to be finalized in the fourth quarter~~Arnold operating segment. Two of ~~2017, may make it necessary to perform interim goodwill impairment testing at Manitoba Harvest in the fourth quarter of 2017.~~

~~2016 Interim Impairment Testing~~

As a result of decreases in forecasted revenue, operating income and cash flows at Arnold, as well as a shortfall in revenue and operating income during the latter half of 2016 as compared to budgeted amounts, we determined that it was necessary to perform interim goodwill impairment testing on each of the three reporting units at Arnold. We performed Step 1 of the goodwill impairment assessment at December 31, 2016. For purposes of Step 1 for the Arnold reporting units, ~~we estimated the fair value~~PMAG and PTM, were tested qualitatively as part of the "before" test, while a quantitative impairment test was performed on the Flexmag reporting unit ~~using only an income approach, whereby~~because we ~~estimate~~could not determine that it was more-likely than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit ~~based on the present value of future cash flows.~~exceeded its carrying value. We do not believe that the market approach results in relevant data points for market multiples or comparative data from comparable public companies since most of Arnold's competitors are privately held and do not publish data that can be used inthen performed a ~~market approach. In the income approach, we used a weighted average cost of capital of 12.5% for PMAG, 12.0% for Flexmag and 13.0% for PTM. Results~~quantitative impairment test of the ~~Step 1~~Arnold operating segment, which combined the three reporting units. The results of the quantitative impairment testing ~~for Arnold's Flexmag and PTM~~of the Arnold reporting ~~units~~unit indicated that the fair value of ~~these~~the Arnold reporting ~~units~~unit exceeded ~~their~~the carrying value by ~~34%~~254%. All of our other reporting units were tested qualitatively as of March 31, 2018, and 38%, respectively. The results of the Step 1 test for the PMAG unit indicated a potential impairment of goodwill and the Company performed the second step of goodwill impairment testing (Step 2) to determine the amount of impairment of the PMAG reporting unit.

We had not completed the Step 2 testing for PMAG at December 31, 2016, and recorded an estimated impairment loss for PMAG of $16 million based on a range of impairment loss. During the first quarter of 2017, we recorded an additional $8.9 million of goodwill impairment after the results of the ~~Step 2~~qualitative analysis indicated ~~total goodwill impairment of~~that the PMAG reporting unit of $24.9 million. The Step 2 impairment was higher than the initial estimate at December 31, 2016 due primarily to the valuation of PMAG's property, plant and equipment during the Step 2 exercise.

fair value exceeded their carrying value.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets

We use a qualitative approach to test indefinite lived intangible assets for impairment by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform quantitative impairment testing. Our indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names with a carrying value of approximately ~~$73.5~~$60.0 million. ~~The Manitoba Harvest trade name, which had a carrying value of $12.4 million at March 31, 2017, was included in the Step 1 impairment testing for Manitoba Harvest as noted above.~~ The results of the qualitative analysis of our ~~other~~ reporting unit's indefinite-lived intangible assets, which we completed as of March 31, ~~2017,~~2019, indicated that the fair value of the indefinite lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying value.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard. The new standard outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new standard, and all related amendments, was effective for us beginning January 1, 2018 and was adopted using the modified retrospective method for all contracts not completed as of the date of adoption.

The adoption of the new revenue guidance represented a change in accounting principle that will more closely align revenue recognition with the transfer of control of our goods and services and will provide financial statement readers with enhanced disclosures. In accordance with the new revenue guidance, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services, and excludes any sales incentives or taxes collected from customers which are subsequently remitted to government authorities.

The Company’s contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products to a customer. Determining whether the promises are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment. Once the performance obligations are identified, the Company determines the transaction price, which includes estimating the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price, if any. The Company then allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract based on a relative stand-alone selling price method. The corresponding revenues are

recognized as the related performance obligations are satisfied as discussed above. Judgment is required to determine the standalone selling price for each distinct performance obligation. The Company determines standalone selling prices based on the price at which the performance obligation is sold separately and therefore observable.

Upon adoption of the new revenue guidance, the Company’s policy around estimating variable consideration related to sales incentives (early pay discounts, rights of return, rebates, chargebacks, and other discounts) included in certain customer contracts remained consistent with previous guidance. These incentives are recorded as a reduction in the transaction price. Under the new guidance, variable consideration is estimated and included in total consideration at contract inception based on either the expected value method or the most likely outcome method. The method was applied consistently among each type of variable consideration and the Company applies the expected value method to estimate variable consideration. These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and the Company’s best judgment at the time and as a result, reflect applicable constraints. The Company includes in the transaction price an amount of variable consideration estimated in accordance with the new guidance only to the extent that it is probablethat a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenuerecognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.

Business Combinations

The acquisitions of our businesses are accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accounting for business combinations requires the use of estimates and assumptions in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in order to allocate the purchase price. The estimates of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable using established valuation methods, taking into consideration information supplied by the management of the acquired entities and other relevant information. The determination of fair values requires significant judgment both by our management team and, when appropriate, valuations by independent third-party appraisers. We amortize intangible assets, such as trademarks and customer relationships, as well as property, plant and equipment, over their economic useful lives, unless those lives are indefinite. We consider factors such as historical information, our plans for the asset and similar assets held by our previously acquired portfolio companies. The impact could result in either higher or lower amortization and/or depreciation expense.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

There have been no material changes to our market risk since December 31, ~~2016.~~2018. For a further discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to the section entitled "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" that was disclosed in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, as filed with the SEC on ~~March 2, 2017.~~February 27, 2019.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As required by Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") Rule 13a-15(b), Holdings’ Regular Trustees and the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of Holdings’ and the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)), as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019. Based on that evaluation, the Holdings’ Regular Trustees and the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company concluded that Holdings’ and the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017.~~2019.

There have been no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There have been no material changes to those legal proceedings associated with the Company’s and Holdings’ business together with legal proceedings for the businesses discussed in the section entitled "Legal Proceedings" that was disclosed in Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016~~2018, as filed with the SEC on ~~March 2, 2017.~~February 27, 2019.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes in those risk factors and other uncertainties associated with the Company and Holdings discussed in the section entitled "Risk Factors" that was disclosed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2016,~~2018, as filed with the SEC on ~~March 2, 2017 except as noted below related to our acquisition of Crosman in June 2017, and our issuance of Series A Preferred Shares in June 2017.~~

~~Risks Related to Crosman~~

~~Crosman’s products are subject to product safety and liability lawsuits, which could materially and adversely affect its financial condition, business and results of operations.~~

~~As a manufacturer of recreational airguns, archery products, laser aiming devices and related accessories,~~ Crosman is involved in various litigation matters that occur in the ordinary course of business. Although Crosman provides information regarding safety procedures and warnings with all of its product packaging, not all users of its products will observe all proper safety practices. Failure to observe proper safety practices may result in injuries that give rise to product liability and personal injury claims and lawsuits, as well as claims for breach of contract, loss of profits and consequential damages.

If any unresolved lawsuits or claims are determined adversely, they could have a material adverse effect on Crosman, its financial condition, business and results of operations. As more of Crosman’s products are sold to and used by its consumers, the likelihood of product liability claims being made against it increases. In addition, the running of statutes of limitations in the United States for personal injuries to minor children may be suspended during a child’s legal minority. Therefore, it is possible that accidents resulting in injuries to minors may not give rise to lawsuits until a number of years later.

While Crosman maintains product liability insurance to insure against potential claims, there is a risk such insurance may not be sufficient to cover all liabilities incurred in connection with such claims and the financial consequences of these claims and lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations.

~~Risks Related to the Series A Preferred Shares~~

~~Distributions on the Series A Preferred Shares are discretionary and non-cumulative.~~

Distributions on the Series A Preferred Shares are discretionary and non-cumulative. Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares will only receive distributions of the Series A Preferred Shares when, as and if declared by the board of directors of the Company. Consequently, if the board of directors of the Company does not authorize and declare a distribution for a distribution period, holders of the Series A Preferred Shares would not be entitled to receive any distribution for such distribution period, and such unpaid distribution will not be payable in such distribution period or in later distribution periods. We will have no obligation to pay distributions for a distribution period if the board of directors of the Company does not declare such distribution before the scheduled record date for such period, whether or not distributions are declared or paid for any subsequent distribution period with respect to the Series A Preferred Shares, or any other preferred shares we may issue or our common shares. This may result in holders of the Series A Preferred Shares not receiving the full amount of distributions that they expect to receive, or any distributions, and may make it more difficult to resell Series A Preferred Shares or to do so at a price that the holder finds attractive.

The board of directors of the Company may, in its sole discretion, determine to suspend distributions on the Series A Preferred Shares, which may have a material adverse effect on the market price of the Series A Preferred Shares. There can be no assurances that our operations will generate sufficient cash flows to enable us to pay distributions on the Series A Preferred Shares. Our financial and operating performance is subject to prevailing economic and industry conditions and to financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.February 27, 2019.
