CONTINENTAL MATERIALS CORPORATION

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION FORM 10-Q

NOTES TO THE QUARTERLY CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

QUARTER ENDED JULY 2, 20161, 2017

(Unaudited)

 

1.    Basis of Presentation:

 

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are prepared pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally accompanying the annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted. The condensed consolidated balance sheet of Continental Materials Corporation (the “Company”) as of January 2,December 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of that date. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (none of which were other than normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods and to ensure the financial statements are not misleading. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 20152016 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 20162017 presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated results of operations, the net decrease in cash or the total assets, liabilities or shareholders’ equity of the Company.

 

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

 

The Company has established a valuation reserve related to the carry-forward of all charitable contributions deductions arising from prior years and theas well as for a portion of contributions in 2016 that the Company believes it willCalifornia Enterprise Zone credit not expected to be unable to utilizeutilized prior to the expiration of their carry-forward periods.expiration. For Federal tax purposes, net operating losses can be carried forward for a period of 20 years while alternative minimum tax credits can be carried forward indefinitely. For state tax purposes, net operating losses can be carried forward for periods ranging from 5 to 20 years for the states that the Company is required to file in. California Enterprise Zone credits can be carried forward indefinitelyused through 2023 while Colorado credits can be carried forward for 7 years.

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

Level 1

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

 

Level 2

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

 

 

Level 3

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

There were no transfers between fair value measurement levels of any financial instruments in the current quarter.

 

4.    In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). This new revenue standard creates a single source of revenue guidance for all companies in all industries and is more principles-based than current revenue guidance. Subsequently, the FASB has issued various ASUs to provide further clarification around certain aspects of ASC 606. This standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, and the Company will adopt the standard for fiscal 2018. The Company implementedhas prepared an analysis comparing its historical accounting policies and practices regarding revenue recognition to the new standards by product line. The Company believes that the adoption of the new standard will not have a material effect on the timing or amount of revenue recognized in a given period. To assure compliance, the Company is developing internal controls to ensure that the requirements of the new standard are satisfied before revenue is recognized. Despite the belief that adoption of ASC 606 will not have a material impact on its financial results, the Company acknowledges that the nature and extent of revenue related disclosures will significantly change.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes2016-02, Leases (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, which changes how deferred taxes are classified842). This new standard supersedes existing lease guidance to require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on organizations’the balance sheets.sheet for the rights and obligations created by long-term leases and to disclose additional quantitative and qualitative information about leasing arrangements. The change has been appliedstandard will be effective for all periods presented.  The effect of implementation is to report a consolidated non current net asset of $3,329,000 and $3,149,000the Company in the condensedfirst quarter of fiscal 2019 and will be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. The Company has begun the task of accumulating information on all of its existing leases. Numerous aspects of ASU 2016-2 are still being discussed such that all guidance has not yet been finalized. The Company anticipates that adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have a significant impact on its consolidated balance sheets as of July 2, 2016 and January 2, 2016, respectively.disclosures, however; such impact has not been quantified at this time.

 

There are no other significant prospective accounting pronouncements that are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

5.    Operating results for the first six months of 20162017 are not necessarily indicative of performance for the entire year due to the seasonality of most of the Company’s products. Historically, sales of the Evaporative Cooling segment are higher in the first and second quarters, sales of the Concrete, Aggregates and Construction Supplies (CACS) segment are higher in the second and third quarters and sales of the Heating and Cooling segment are higher in the third and fourth quarters. Sales of the Door segment are generally more evenly spread throughout the year.

 

6.    There is no difference in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for the three-month or six-month periods ended July 2, 20161, 2017 and July 4, 20152, 2016 as the Company does not have any dilutive instruments.

 

7.    The Company operates primarily in two industry groups, Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and Construction Products. The Company has identified two reportable segments within each of the industry groups: the Heating and Cooling segment and the Evaporative Cooling segment in the HVAC industry group and the CACS segment and the Door segment in the Construction Products industry group.

 

The Heating and Cooling segment primarily produces and sells gas-fired wall furnaces, console heaters and fan coils from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Williams Furnace Co. (WFC) of Colton, California. The

7


Evaporative Cooling segment primarily produces and sells evaporative coolers from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Phoenix Manufacturing, Inc. (PMI) of Phoenix, Arizona. Sales of these two segments are nationwide, but are concentrated in the southwestern United States. Concrete, aggregates and construction supplies are offered from numerous locations along the Southern Front Range of Colorado operated by the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Castle Concrete Company and Transit Mix Concrete Co., of Colorado Springs and Transit Mix of Pueblo, Inc. of Pueblo, Colorado (the three companies collectively are referred to as TMC). The Door segment sells hollow metal and wood doors, door frames and related hardware, lavatory fixtures and electronic access and security systems from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, McKinney Door and Hardware, Inc. (MDHI), which operates out of facilities in Pueblo and Colorado Springs, Colorado. Sales of these two segments are highly concentrated in the Southern Front Range of Colorado although door sales are also made throughout the United States.

 

In addition to the above reporting segments, an “Unallocated Corporate” classification is used to report the unallocated expenses of the corporate office which provides treasury, insurance and tax services as well as strategic

7


business planning and general management services. Expenses related to the corporate information technology group are allocated to all locations, including the corporate office.

 

The Company evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on a number of criteria including operating income, return on investment and other strategic objectives. Operating income is determined by deducting operating expenses from all revenues. In computing operating income, none of the following has been added or deducted: unallocated corporate expenses, interest, other income or loss or income taxes.

8.    InOn September of 201415, 2016 a Partial Summary Judgment Order was issued regarding the Company ceased production at its leased gravel operation in Pueblo, Colorado. This aggregate operation incurred significant operating losses in all but two years since 2005. The principal reasons for the operating losses were the high ratio of sand to rock and the high cost of complying with water augmentation requirements. Except for the sand required in the production of concrete, the demand for sand in the Pueblo area is very weak. The decision to shut down the Pueblo aggregate operation resulted in significant accounting charges in the third quarter of 2014. The Company recorded $4,000,000 to reflect the costs to backfill the mined gravel pit from a previous mining phase. Prior to the shutdown the reclamation plan was to fill this pit with waste material and tailings from the ongoing gravel operation. The Company also wrote-off $1,257,000 of unamortized deferred development expenses and $401,000 of prepaid royalties related to the minimum annual royalties paid during the period of operation. The Company has filed suit inCompany’s previously disclosed litigation, Continental Materials Corporation v. Valco, Inc., Civil Action No. 2014-cv-2510, filed in the United StatedStates District Court for the District of Colorado seeking,Colorado. The suit regards a sand and gravel lease between the Company and Valco, Inc. (“Valco”) that calls for the payment of royalties over the life of the lease on an agreed 50,000,000 tons of sand and gravel reserves. In the suit the Company sought, among other things, to rescindreform the sand and gravel lease in regard to the agreed amount of sand and gravel reserves and to recover approximately $1,282,000 of royalty overpayments included in other long-term assets. Valco asserted counterclaims against the

9


Company alleging breach of contract and $1,470,000declaratory judgment regarding the Company’s refusal to make further royalty payments under the Lease. In the ordinary course of royalties paidbusiness and absent any breach by Valco, the Company is required to make quarterly royalty payments amounting to not less than $300,000 in excessa calendar year. In response to Valco’s breaches of actual tons produced. contract, the Company stopped making royalty payments at the start of the 2015 calendar year. The sandCompany has asserted partial failure of consideration as an affirmative defense to Valco’s counterclaims to offset the alleged back-due quarterly royalty payments and gravel lease calledthe amount due on quarterly royalty payments in the future. The Partial Summary Judgment Order resolved many of the Company’s claims in Valco’s favor, but the Company’s claim for the paymentsreturn of royalty overpayments made during the statutorily allowed period is still pending. The Partial Summary Judgment Order did not resolve Valco’s counterclaims or the Company’s affirmative defense. During the third quarter of 2016, the Company recorded a $632,000 write-down representing the portion of the royalty overpayment paid prior to the statutorily allowed period because of litigation risk attendant to recovering that amount. The Company sought certification of the Partial Summary Judgment Order because it and its legal counsel believe the court improperly resolved factual issues in its Partial Summary Judgment Order that should have been decided by a jury. The Company and its legal counsel believe there is a likelihood that some, or all, of the issues resolved by the Partial Summary Judgment Order may be reversed on appeal and remanded for trial by jury although there can be no assurance that an appeal will result in reversal. The Company paid royalties on approximately 17,700,000 tons, including the overpayments, of the 50,000,000 tons of sand and gravel reserves.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help investors understand the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and current business environment. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2,December 31, 2016.

 

Company Overview

 

For an overview of the Company’s operations and operating structure, see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Sales of the Company’s HVAC products are seasonal except for fan coils. Sales of furnaces, heaters and evaporative coolers are sensitive to weather conditions particularly during their respective peak selling seasons. Fan coil sales are, to a significant extent, dependent on commercial construction, particularly of hotels. Revenues in the CACS segment are primarily dependent on the level of construction activity along the Southern Front Range in Colorado. Sales for the Door segment are not as seasonal nor are they much affected by weather conditions. Historically, the Company has experienced operating losses during the first quarter except when the weather is mild and demand strong along the Southern Front Range. Operating results typically improve in the second and third quarters reflecting more favorable weather conditions in southern Colorado and the seasonal sales of the Evaporative Cooling segment. Fourth quarter results can vary based on weather conditions in Colorado as well as in the principal markets for the Company’s heating equipment.

 

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

Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement

 

As discussed in Note 1110 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report, the Company maintains a Credit Agreement, which, as amended, provides for a Revolving Commitment of $20,000,000. The Revolving Commitment covers the Company’s outstanding letters of credit ($4,955,000 at July 1, 2017) and cash borrowings. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable, inventories, machinery, equipment, vehicles, certain real estate and the common stock of all of the Company’s subsidiaries. Borrowings under the Revolving Commitment are limited to (a) 80% of eligible accounts receivable, (b) the lesser of 50% of eligible inventories and $8,500,000 plus (c) 80% of new Capital Expenditures not to exceed $5,500,000 in the aggregate with respect to each of Fiscal Year 2016 and 2017. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest based on a LIBOR or prime rate based option.

 

The Credit Agreement either limits or requires prior approval by the lender of additional borrowings, acquisition of stock of other companies, purchase of treasury shares and payment of cash dividends. Payment of accrued interest is due monthly or at the end of the applicable LIBOR period. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of May 1, 2018.2020.

 

The Company’s outstanding borrowings against the revolving credit facility were $4,700,000$7,600,000 at July 2, 2016.1, 2017. At all times since the inception of the Credit Agreement, the Company has had sufficient qualifying and eligible assets such that the entire revolving credit facility was available to the Company. This situation is expected to continue for the foreseeable future.

 

As of July 2, 20161, 2017 the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Credit Agreement and expects to be in compliance with all loan covenants, as amended, for the remaining term of the Credit Agreement.

Concrete, Aggregates and Construction Supplies Segment

 

The product offerings of the CACS segment consist of ready mix concrete, aggregates and construction supplies. Ready mix concrete and aggregates are produced at multiple locations in or near Colorado Springs and Pueblo, Colorado. Construction supplies encompass numerous products purchased from third party suppliers and sold to the construction trades, particularly concrete sub-contractors. During the three months ended July 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016, concrete, aggregates and construction supplies accounted for approximately 79%, 15% and 6% of the sales of the CACS segment, respectively, including aggregates consumed internally in the production of concrete. In the second quarter of 2015, the sales mix between concrete, aggregates and construction supplies was 73%, 19% and 8%, respectively. Sales including aggregates consumed internally increased $7,488,000 (47.5%decreased $3,398,000 (14.6%) between the second quarter of 20162017 and the comparable prior year quarter. Sales to third parties increaseddecreased by $6,822,000 (48.4%$2,799,000 (13.4%) between the same periods. The gross profit reported by the CACS segment improveddecreased to 19.1%17.2% in the second quarter of 20162017 from 10.5%19.1% in the second quarter of the prior year. The enhanced performance of the segmentdecline in sales and gross profit is attributableattributed to sustained improvement in the construction market in the Colorado Springs area, an improving Pueblo market and increased pricing in both markets. Additionally,a windmill job serviced by a portable plant during the second quarter of 2016 which provided $2,827,000 in revenue as well as a windmill project serviced from a portable plant accounted for $2,837,000 of the increase in sales.favorable margin. There was no similarsuch project in 2015.2017.

 

Excluding the windmill project duringin 2016, and a flow fill project during 2015, ready mix concrete sales increased 37.0%4.8% in the second quarter of 20162017 versus the second quarter of 2015.2016. Concrete volume, on the same basis, was 23.3%0.7% higher in the second quarter of 20162017 compared to the prior year quarter while average concrete prices for the second quarter of 2016 increased by approximately 11.0% over the comparable 2015 quarter.4.1%. Even though concrete prices have increased, the market remains sharply competitive especially on large construction projects. Material cost per yard rose about 7.6%increased 1.3%, in the second quarter of 20162017 compared to the prior year second quarter primarily due to a shortage of fly ash which caused an increase in cement usage. Increased haul costs to deliver rock to the batch plants as a result of lower production at the Pikeview Quarry (see discussion below) also added to the increase in material costs.quarter. Cement is the highest cost raw material used in the production of ready mix concrete. Cement costs per yard increased by 2.8%6.6% in the second quarter of the current year compared to the same quarter of 2015.2016.

The 16,551 yard windmill project, mentioned above, further added to the increase in volume, sales and gross profit during the second quarter of 2016.

 

The CACS segment also produces and sells sand, crushed limestone and gravel (collectively “aggregates”) from deposits in and around Colorado Springs. Sales volume (tons) of construction aggregates, including those used internally in the production of ready mix concrete, increased 37.1%decreased 31.5% in the second quarter of 20162017 compared to the comparable 20152016 quarter. Average selling prices, excluding freight, were down 7.9%increased 24.4% due to the higher ratio of rock to sand to rock sales. AlthoughImproved performance by the sand operation reported an improved gross profit foroperations in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, mining2017 more than offset costs of operating challenges at two of the quarries andas well as carrying costs related to the closed Pueblo quarry contributedquarry. The aggregates operations reported a second quarter 2017 profit of $201,000 compared to thea $21,000 loss reported byin the aggregates operations, virtually identical to the 2015 second quarter’s loss.quarter of 2016.

 

Sales of construction supplies increased by $14,000 (1.2%decreased $71,000 (6.0%) in the second quarter of 20162017 compared to the prior year quarter. The gross profit increaseddeclined to 9.7% from 17.5% from 11.2% in 2015. Lower cost of materials as a percentage of sales accounted2016. Higher material costs, including steel rebar, and both production and delivery labor costs, combined to account for the improveddecline in gross profit.

 

Depreciation and amortization charges increased by $17,000$16,000 in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2016 reflecting recentincreased capital spending due to market improvements.

 

Selling and administrative expenses were $277,000 higher$289,000 lower in the second quarter of 20162017 compared to the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily due2016. Decreased compensation related expenses and reduced legal fees contributed to increased accruals related to incentive compensation programs as the operating performance is currently ahead of the established goals.lower amount. Litigation fees related to the Pueblo aggregate lease were $320,000$209,000 during the second quarter of 20162017 compared to $351,000$320,000 incurred during the comparable period of 2015.2016. As a percentage of sales, these costsselling and administrative expenses were 7.1% in 2017 compared to 7.5% in 2016 compared to 9.2% in 2015.2016. 

 

The prices of two commodities, cement and diesel fuel, can have a significant effect on the results of operations of this segment. Management negotiates cement prices with producers who have production facilities in or near the concrete markets that the Company serves. Management may negotiate separate cement prices for large construction

15


projects depending on the demand for and availability of cement from the local producers. The Company buys diesel fuel from local distributors and occasionally enters into a short term arrangement with a distributor whereby the price of diesel fuel is fixed for a period of up to six months. In the past year the Company has not hedged diesel fuel prices. Increases in the cost of these two commodities have a direct effect on the results of operations depending upon whether competitive conditions prevailing in the marketplace enable the companyCompany to adjust its selling prices to recover such increases.

 

Door Segment

 

The Door segment sells hollow metal doors, door frames and related hardware, wood doors, lavatory fixtures and electronic access and security systems. Nearly all of the Door segments sales are for commercial and institutional buildings such as schools and healthcare facilities. Approximately 65% to 70% of the sales of the Door segment are related to jobs obtained through a competitive bidding process. Bid prices may be higher or lower than bid prices on similar jobs in the prior year. The Door segment does not track unit sales of the various products through its accounting or management reporting.reporting systems. Management focuses on the level of the sales backlog, the trend in sales and the gross profit rate in managing the business.

 

Door sales in the second quarter of 20162017 were $209,000 (4.5%$130,000 (2.7%) moreless than in the second quarter of the previous year. Bidding prices remain competitive. The gross profit ratio in the second quarter of 20162017 was 26.5%29.1%, up from 25.1%26.5% in the comparable quarter of 2015.2016. The improvement in the gross profit ratio is principally due to better pricing on some 2016 second quarter contract projects.

Sales and administrative expensescertain bid jobs shipped during the second quarter of 2016 increased by $39,0002017.

Sales and administrative expenses were $7,000 lower in the second quarter of 2017 compared to the second quarter of 2015 principally due to increased compensation costs.2016. As a percentage of sales, these expenses wereincreased to 15.1% from 14.8% and 14.7%, respectively, in the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, and 2015.respectively.

 

The Door segment sales backlog at the end of the second quarter of 20162017 was $4,810,000$4,975,000 compared to $3,725,000 a year ago.$4,810,000 at the end of the same quarter of 2016.

Heating and Cooling Segment

 

In the second quarter of 2016,2017, approximately 45%46% of sales in the Heating and Cooling segment consisted of wall furnaces and heaters. Fan coils accounted for 54%50% of the segment’s sales and other products were about 1%.4% of the segment’s sales. In the second quarter of 20152016 these shares of total segment sales were 45%, 54% and 1%, respectively. Overall sales in the Heating and Cooling segment in the second quarter of 20162017 increased by $761,000 (13.0%$143,000 (2.2%) compared to the same period in 2015.2016.

Sales of furnaces and heaters increased 9.5% in the three months ended July 1, 2017 compared to the three months ended July 2, 2016. Unit shipments of furnaces and heaters are typically low during the second quarter due to warm weather conditions. Unit shipmentswere 11.0% higher in the second quarter of 2016 were 5.2% lower than in the second quarter of the prior year, however sales dollars increased as average sales prices increased.2017. Average sales prices for furnaces and heaters waswere about 17.1% higher1.4% lower compared to a year ago as a result of price increases instituted during the third quarter of 2015, changes in product mix and the inclusion of parts sales.mix.

 

Sales of fan coils during the second quarter of 2016 increased by 13.4% over2017 declined slightly, 1.0%, compared to the comparable 2015second quarter as the pace of new construction spending in the lodging industry remained strong.2016. The fan coil sales backlog at July 2, 20161, 2017 was $3,003,000$4,037,000 compared to $3,323,000$3,003,000 at July 4, 2015.2, 2016.  Typically, approximately 90% of the sales of fan coils are custom-made systems for hotels and other commercial buildings. Fan coil jobs are obtained through a competitive bidding process. Since every bid job is a unique configuration of materials and parts, the companyCompany does not track units of sales or production as such unit volume data would not be useful in managing the business. Management focuses on the contribution margin by job, the current level of sales and the sales backlog in managing the fan coil business. Contribution margin is measured by deducting variable manufacturing costs and variable selling expenses from sales for a particular product line and is used as an internal measure of profitability for a

16


product or product line. The fan coil contribution margin percentage in the second quarter of 20162017 was 32.7%23.4%, down from 35.9%32.7% in the second quarter of 2015, but was still at an acceptable performance level.2016. The decrease in margin in the second quarter of 2017 can be attributed to aggressive pricing early in the year to increase sales and the backlog as well as higher material costs, particularly steel.

 

The Heating and Cooling segment’s gross profit ratio for the second quarter of 20162017 was 23.8%19.0% compared to 24.3%23.8% in the second quarter of 2015.2016. The lower gross profit ratio is attributable to the reduced profit margins of the fan coil line which were partially offset by improved profit margins in the furnace lines. The improved profit margins in the furnace lines were primarily due to a reduction in the cost of steel as well as an increase in furnace pricing.increased costs mentioned above.

 

Selling and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 20162017 were $197,000 higher$42,000 lower than the second quarter of the previous year.  The increasedecrease was attributable to increased compensation costs as well as expenses associated with promotion of new products includinglower marketing literature, trade shows and travel and entertainment.commission related costs. As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative expenses remained consistent atwere 24.2% in the second quarter of 2017 and 25.3% in the second quarter of 2016 and 25.2% in the second quarter of 2015.2016.

 

Evaporative Cooling Segment

 

Sales of evaporative coolers increased $63,000 (.6%declined $46,000 (0.5%) in the second quarter of 20162017 compared to the second quarter of 2015.2016.  Unit sales of evaporative coolers were virtually identical in the second quarter of both years. Average selling prices were down 0.5% between the second quarter of 2017 and 2016 were approximately 6.3% lower thanprimarily due to a higher ratio of standard residential units sold to single inlet and industrial units sold in the second quarter of 2015. Average selling prices were up about 6.2% between the second quarter of 2016 and 2015.  Excluding the effect of parts sales, the current quarter average selling prices were 7.1% higher2017 compared to the prior year second quarter.same period. The gross profit ratio in the second quarter of 20162017 was 27.0%23.0% compared to 25.5%27.0% a year ago. The improveddecrease in gross profit ratio is primarily attributable to lowerthe change in sales mix, higher labor costs and increased material costs, notably steel.

 

Selling and administrative expenses were $54,000 (4.4%(4.2%) higher in the second quarter of 20162017 mainly due to increased spending on advertising.compensation related costs. As a percentage of sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 12.5%13.1% in the current quarter of 20162017 from 12.1%12.5% in the prior year quarter.

 

Both businesses in the HVAC group are sensitive to changes in prices for a number of different raw materials, commodities and purchased parts. Prices of steel and copper in particular can have a significant effect on the results of operations of this group. Neither company is currently a party to any hedging arrangements with regard to steel or copper.

In the first six months of 20162017 concrete, aggregates and construction supplies accountaccounted for approximately 77%78%, 17%16% and 6% of sales of the CACS segment, respectively, including aggregates consumed internally in the production of concrete. In the first halfsix months of 20152016 the sales mix among concrete, aggregates and construction supplies was 73%77%, 20%17% and 7%6%, respectively. Sales including aggregates consumed internally increaseddecreased by $8,996,000 (32.0%$2,079,000 (5.6%) and sales to third parties increased $8,456,000 (34.3%decreased $1,515,000 (4.6%). MostThe first six months of the increase2016 included a windmill job serviced by a portable plant which provided $2,837,000 in revenue. There was realized during the second quarter as discussedno similar project in 2017. Excluding this job, sales in the quarterly results section above. CACS segment increased $1,322,000 (4.4%) in the first six months of 2017 compared to the prior year period.

Ready mix concrete sales, excluding flow fill material and the 2016 windmill job, improved by $8,228,000 (44.5%$2,464,000 (10.3%) in the first six months of 20162017 over the comparable 20152016 period primarily due to an improved Puebloa sustained improvement in the Colorado Springs market the windmill project serviced by the portable plant and improved pricing.

Exclusive of the 2016 windmill project, ready mix volume increased by 14.6%.5.9% in the first half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2016. Average concrete prices for the first six months of 2016,2017, excluding the windmill project and flow fill material, increased by 12.8%4.2% compared to the first halfsix months of 2015 although approximately 25% of this increase was due to a large specialty job for the Pueblo reservoir.2016. While concrete prices have increased, the market remains sharply competitive especially on large construction projects. Material costs per yard, including cement, increased by 4.9%2.3% in the first halfsix months of 20162017 compared to the same period in 2015. Both batching2016 as higher cement, sand and deliveryadmix costs were partially offset by lower costs for rock, fly ash and color mixtures. Batching costs per yard were relatively flat.

Delivery costs per yard benefited fromincreased 11.3% in the first half of 2017 compared to the first half of 2016. This increase is attributable to the increased volume as well as lower repairsuse of contract truckers and higher diesel fuel and repair and maintenance and diesel fuel costs. Theexpenses. Exclusive of the 2016 windmill project, the gross profit ratio from concrete increaseddeclined from 10.75%17.2% in the first half of 2015 to 21.1% in 2016. The windmill project, mentioned in the discussion of the quarter, was a significant contributor to the increase in volume, sales and gross profit during the first six months of 2016.2016 to 15.3% in 2017.

Sales volume (tons) of construction aggregates, including those used internally in the production of ready mix concrete, increased 37.9%decreased 30.4% during the first six months of 20162017 compared to the first six months of 2015.2016. The increasedecrease was entirely due to expandedlower output by the sand division partially attributed to a decline in responsesales of non-processed fine fill sand. Average selling prices increased 24.2%, attributable to the higher concrete volume. Average selling prices declined 83¢ per ton or approximately 11.8% duesales ratio of cement sand to fill sand. While the sand operations reported positive gross profit in the first six months of 2017 and 2016, ongoing operating challenges at two quarries and the carrying costs related to the higher ratio of sandclosed Pueblo quarry lead to rock sold.overall negative gross profit for the aggregate operations in both periods. The gross profit, before depreciation, from all aggregate operations in the first halfsix months of 20162017 was a loss of $105,000$223,000 compared to a profitloss of $30,000$116,000 in the first six months of 2015. The loss was due to the mining challenges at two of the quarries and the carrying costs related to the closed Pueblo quarry noted in the discussion of the second quarter’s results above.2016.

 

Sales of construction supplies increaseddecreased by $140,000 (7.2%$158,000 (7.6%) in the first halfsix months of 20162017 compared to the same period in 2015 largely due to a weak first quarter in 2015 which management believed was principally due to inclement weather, primarily in January.2016. The gross profit ratio improveddeclined to 13.1%5.3% from 6.5%13.1% due to the lower cost of materials as a percentage of sales asreasons discussed in the quarterly results section above as well as the higher sales achieved in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015.results.

 

Depreciation expenses increased by $27,000 (4.0%$6,000 (0.9%) in the first halfsix months of 20162017 compared to the first halfsix months of 2015 due to a higher level of capital spending in recent months.2016.

 

Selling and administrative expenses were $487,000 higher$319,000 lower in the first six months of 20162017 compared to the same period in 2015.2016. The increasedecrease was largelymainly due to the increased accruals related to incentive compensation programs discussed in the quarter’s results above. In addition, litigationlower legal expenses. Litigation fees related to the Pueblo aggregate lease were $385,000 during the six months ended July 1, 2017 compared to $621,000 incurred during the six months ended July 2, 2016 compared to $525,000 incurred during the six months ended July 4, 2015.2016.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of July 2, 20161, 2017 and January 2,December 31, 2016 and affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Information with respect to the Company’s critical accounting policies which the Company believes could have the most significant effect on the Company’s reported results and require subjective or complex judgments by management, is contained in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2,December 31, 2016.

 

OUTLOOK

 

Overall the Company expects consolidated sales in 2017 to approach 2016 to exceed the 2015 level.levels. Revenues in the CACS segment are dependent of the level of construction activity along the Front Range in Southern Colorado as well as weather and the level of selling prices. Construction activity has exhibited modest and thus far sustained improvement during the past two years in the Colorado Springs market. Construction activity in the Pueblo market has not experienced a similar recovery although there has been someshown improvement over the last year as well. However, weather in the current year.first six months of 2017 in the CACS market areas was not favorable. Cool, wet weather patterns and snow led to numerous days where concrete could not be poured. These conditions have continued into the first part of August. Although there is a backlog of work to complete, many of our customers have indicated that making up for the lost days may not be possible due to their inability to hire additional qualified concrete finishing personnel. Concrete pricing has improved, as well, but the pricing on most bid jobs remains sharply competitive. Further improvements in the CACS segment operating results will depend on a sustained improvement in the Colorado Springs and Pueblo construction markets and the ability to maintain or enhance ready-mix concrete prices especially in response to any increases in cement and/or fuel costs that may occur.

 

Sales inof the Door segment are also, to a significant extent, reliant on new construction. Bidding activity remains strong. The sales backlog at July 2, 2016 is 29.1% above the backlog at July 4, 2015.

The Company’s HVAC Industry Group anticipates some increasefor the remainder of the year depend upon a normal demand for furnaces and heaters as well as an improvement in sales in 2016 largely due to higher fan coil sales as construction spending in the lodging industry improves. To date, fansales. Fan coil sales have outpacedbacklog has grown from the prior year’s actual and current year expected levels and appear to be sustainable forlevel but sales are dependent on the near term.timing of shipments which is controlled by our customers’ construction progress. Sales of furnaces, heaters and evaporative coolers are primarily for replacement purposes and therefore are not heavily reliant on new construction. Sales of these products are generally dependent on the overall strength of the economy, especially employment levels, and are heavily influenced by weather conditions, particularly during their respective selling seasons. In-season furnace sales later this year will be largely weather-dependent. July typically marks the end of the selling season for evaporative coolers.
