The Company intends to use the latest extension of its Forbearance Agreement, provided by the ~~Sixth~~Ninth Amendment to ~~pursue~~continue negotiations with the Lenders in pursuit of a cure or waiver of financial covenant defaults and ~~amended~~to amend the credit ~~agreement~~agreement.

The defaults, if not waived by our lenders, allows the lenders to accelerate the maturity of the debt, making it immediately due and payable. Accordingly, all debt subject to the Credit Agreement, currently totaling ~~$47.0~~$47.7 million, has been classified as current as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022. The Company does not have sufficient cash and cash equivalents on hand or available liquidity to repay such debt or meet its obligations thereunder as they become due through twelve months from date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

In response to these conditions, the Company is discussing with its bank lenders entering into an amendment and waiver to cure the covenant defaults. There is not any assurance that the lenders will waive such non compliance or agree to an amendment to the current provisions. Even if the lenders were to agree to waive the failures to comply as of December 31, 2020, March 31, 2021, and September 30, 2021, there cannot be any assurance that, at any future date at which compliance is measured, we will be able to comply with the covenants contained in the ~~forbearance agreement,~~Credit Agreement, as amended, given the industry-wide and other challenges that we face, as described elsewhere herein, or that our lenders would waive a default if that were to occur. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to enter into an amendment or waiver with the lenders or if it enters into an amendment, what the terms, restrictions, and covenants of the amendment will contain. These plans have not been finalized and are not within the Company’s control, and therefore cannot be deemed probable. As a result, the Company has concluded that management’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Concentration Risks

The Company is exposed to significant concentration risks as follows:

Customer and Credit — During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, the Company’s net sales were principally derived from customers engaged in the North American automotive industry.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses,” which introduced new guidance for an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides for a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. Instruments in scope include loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in leases as well as reinsurance and trade receivables. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which clarifies that operating lease receivables are outside the scope of the new standard. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, which established the effective date of the new standard for smaller reporting companies as fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption of the new credit losses model will have on its financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 “Reference Rate Reform”. The ASU provides temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contract modifications and hedging relationships, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or any other reference rate expected to be discontinued. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01 - Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The amendments in this ASU clarify that certain option expedients and exceptions in Topic 848 for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. The ASU is intended to help stakeholders during the global market-wide reference rate transition period. Therefore, it will be in effect for a limited time through December 31, 2022. ~~The Company is currently assessing which contracts may be affected.~~

General Recognition Policy

Revenue is recognized by the Company once all performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a Company's customer is satisfied. Generally this occurs with the transfer of control to a customer of its transportation, appliance, and other products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring its products. The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of its customers and the products offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~UNIQUE FABRICATING, INC.~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

In general for sales arrangements, the Company deems control to transfer at a single point in time and recognizes revenue when it ships products from its manufacturing facilities to its customers. Once a product has shipped, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset. The Company considers control to transfer upon shipment because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections and payments results in billed accounts receivable. The Company does not have deferred revenue. Additionally, management reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts at regular intervals. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when management determines it is probable the receivable will not be recovered.

4. Inventory

6. Goodwill

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:


	(dollars in thousands)
Balance at December 31, 2021
Goodwill	$	28,871

Net beginning balance	16,996
Goodwill impairment	(12,163)
Balance at June 30, 2022	$	4,833

Goodwill Impairment

The Company experienced a sustained decline in market capitalization through the second quarter of 2022 representing a potential indicator of impairment. Furthermore, the Company continues to experience repercussions from the global semiconductor shortage, the most impactful being the decline in sales to our automotive customers, as North American automotive production volumes have been lower than pre-pandemic levels. The Company identified these circumstances and concluded it was more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, and performed an interim quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment was performed as of June 30, 2022, utilizing the income approach. The analysis required the comparison of the Company’s carrying value with it’s fair value, with an impairment recorded for any excess of carrying value over the fair value. The discounted cash flow method was used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit under the income approach. Key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis included a discount rate of 18.6%, forecasted revenue for the remainder of 2022 through 2028, a terminal growth rate for cash flows of 3%, and EBITDA margin of 10.8% by 2026. The results of the quantitative analysis performed indicated the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded the fair value of the reporting unit as of June 30, 2022. As a result, the Company recorded a $12.2 million impairment charge on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

borrowings up to an aggregate principal amount of $73.0 million. The Credit Agreement, which is a senior secured credit facility comprised of a revolving line of credit of up to $30.0 million (the “Revolver”) to the US Borrower, a $26.0 million principal amount term loan (the “US Term Loan”) to the US Borrower, a $12.0 million principal amount term loan (the “CA Term Loan”) to the CA Borrower, and a two-year line to fund capital expenditures of up to $2.5 million through November 8, 2019 and $5.0 million thereafter through November 8, 2020 to the US Borrower (the “Capital Expenditure Line”).

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, ~~$19.6~~$20.5 million was outstanding under the Revolver. This amount is gross of debt issuance costs which are further described in the next section. The Revolver had an effective interest rate of ~~5.50%~~5.5% percent per annum at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the maximum additional available borrowings under the Revolver was ~~$5.2~~$4.3 million, which includes a reduction for a $0.1 million letter of credit issued for the benefit of the landlord of one of the Company’s leased facilities.

The Company’s financial results for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and the nine months ended March 31, 2021 resulted in violations of one or more of the following financial covenants: (1) Maximum Total Leverage Ratio; (2) Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio; and (3) Minimum Consolidated EBITDA; as defined in the Company’s Credit Agreement. The Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement, providing a period commencing on April 9, 2021 and through and including June 15, 2021, during which the Company was able to borrow on its Revolver, subject to the terms and conditions to making a

revolving credit advance, including availability, and the Lenders agreed, subject to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, to forbear from enforcing their rights or seeking to collect payment of the Company’s debt or disposing of the collateral securing the debt.

On June 14, 2021, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement, which among other things, extended the forbearance period from June 15, 2021 to February 28, 2022 and waived the testing of the Maximum Total Leverage Ratio and Minimum Debt Service Coverage ratios for the duration of the Forbearance Period. The First Amendment also substituted Minimum Liquidity and Minimum Consolidated EBITDA requirements which would be tested monthly beginning with the month ending July 31, 2021. During the extended period, the Company was able to borrow under the revolving line of credit, subject to availability and satisfaction of certain other conditions.

On September 21, 2021, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Forbearance Agreement, which among other things, made changes to the calculations of financial covenants, contained revised requirements for Minimum Liquidity and Minimum Consolidated EBITDA, as defined, for the monthly periods through and including February 28, 2022, and revised the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment from $30 million to $27 million.

On December 9, 2021, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to Forbearance Agreement. As previously reported, the Company was in violation of the required Minimum Consolidated EBITDA Covenant (as amended by the Second Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement) as of September 30, 2021. The Lenders in the Third Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement, among other things, agreed to forbear with respect to the Minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenant violation and to suspend the Minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenant during the remainder of the forbearance period. The Third Amendment includes a new covenant tested weekly on a rolling basis, beginning December 15, 2021, and required that the Company’s actual cumulative total cash disbursements for the period being tested to not exceed total cash disbursements projected by the Company for the same period by more than 15% at any time during the forbearance period. The Third Amendment also reduced the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment from $27 million to $25 million.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company was in violation of the required minimum Liquidity covenant, as provided in the Second Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement, dated September 21, 2021. As a result, on February 4, 2022, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to Forbearance Agreement. The Lenders in the Fourth Amendment agreed to waive the minimum Liquidity covenant violation. The Company did have the required minimum liquidity by the conclusion of the first week of 2022.

The Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, as amended, may not exceed (i) 3.75 to 1.00, with respect to the fiscal quarter ended as of September 30, 2020; (ii) 3.50 to 1.00, with respect to the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020; (iii) 3.25 to 1.00, with respect to the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021; and (iv) 3.00 to 1.00, with respect to each fiscal quarter thereafter. For purposes of calculating the Total Leverage Ratio, “Consolidated EBITDA”, as defined, shall be determined (i) with respect to the fiscal quarter ended as of September 30, 2020, for the single fiscal quarter then ended, multiplied by 4,(ii) with respect to the fiscal quarter ended as of December 31, 2020, for the two fiscal quarters then ended, multiplied by 2, (iii) with respect to the fiscal quarter ended as of March 31, 2021, for the three fiscal quarters then ended, multiplied by 4/3, and (iv) with respect to each fiscal quarter thereafter, for the four fiscal quarters then ended. Also, for purposes of calculating the Total Leverage Ratio, the PPP Note iswas excluded from Total Debt for all periods until a determination of forgiveness iswas made. ~~However, testing~~the PPP Note has been forgiven. Testing of the Total Leverage Ratio is suspended during the Forbearance Period.

Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio

The Debt Service Coverage Ratio may not be less than 1.20 to 1.00, to be measured, as of the end of each fiscal quarter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in the definition of "Debt Service Coverage Ratio," such calculation shall be made (i) with respect to the fiscal quarter ended as of September 30 2020, for the single fiscal quarter then ended, (ii) with respect to the fiscal quarter ended as of December 31, 2020, for the two fiscal quarters then ended, (iii) with respect to the fiscal quarter ended as of March 31, 2021, for the three fiscal quarters then ended, and (iv) with respect to the last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter, for the four fiscal quarters then ended. However, testing of the Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio is suspended during the Forbearance Period.

Projected Cash Disbursements

The Third Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement establishes a financial covenant limiting the Company’s ~~cash disbursements for the duration of the Forbearance Period. Commencing on December 15, 2021, the~~ cumulative total cash disbursements ~~may~~to an amount not ~~exceed~~exceeding the Company’s projected total cash disbursements for the same cumulative period by more than 15%.

Future Maturities

The Company is currently under a Forbearance Agreement, which expires September 12, 2022. The loan covenant defaults mentioned previously, if not waived by our lenders, allows the lenders to accelerate the maturity of the debt, making it immediately due and payable. Accordingly, all debt subject to the Credit Agreement has been classified as current as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022:

7.8. Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Swap

The Company holds a derivative financial instrument, in the form of an interest rate swap, as required by its Credit Agreement, for the purpose of hedging certain identifiable transactions in order to mitigate risks relating to the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by interest rate fluctuations. The Company has elected not to apply hedge accounting for financial reporting purposes. The interest rate swap is recognized in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at its fair value. Monthly settlement payments due on the interest rate swap and changes in its fair value are recognized currently in net income as interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Effective November 30, 2018, as required under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company entered into an interest rate swap that requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of 3.075% per annum while receiving a variable interest rate per annum based on the one month LIBOR for a net monthly settlement based on the notional amount in effect. The notional amount at the effective date was $5.0 million, which increased by $0.4 million each quarter until June 28, 2019 when the notional amount increased to $17.5 million due to the interest rate swap from 2016 expiring. Since June 28, 2019, the notional amount then decreased each quarter by $0.2 million until September 30, 2020 when the notional amount increased to $17.5 million due to the interest rate swap from 2017 expiring. The notional amount then decreased each quarter by $0.4 million until December 31, 2021, then decreases each subsequent quarter by $0.6 million until it expires on November 8, 2023.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the fair value of all swaps was in a net liability position of ~~$0.2 million~~$8 thousand and is included in other long term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2021, the fair value of the swap was $0.6 million. The Company paid $0.1 million and $0.2 million in net monthly settlements with respect to the interest rate swaps for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, ~~and~~respectively. During the three and six months ended ~~March 31, 2021.~~June 30, 2021, the Company paid $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in net monthly settlements. Both the change in fair value and the net monthly settlements were included in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

8.9. Stock Incentive Plans

2013 Stock Incentive Plan

The Company’s board of directors approved a stock incentive plan (the “Plan”) in 2013. The Plan permits the Company to grant 495,000 non statutory or incentive stock options to the employees, directors and consultants of the Company. 495,000 shares of unissued common stock are reserved for the Plan. The board of directors has the authority to determine the participants to whom stock options shall be awarded as well as any restrictions to be placed upon the awards. The exercise price cannot be less than the fair value of the underlying shares at the time the stock options are issued and the maximum length of an award is ten years.

2014 Omnibus Performance Award Plan

In 2014, the board of directors and stockholders adopted the Unique Fabricating, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Performance Award Plan, or the 2014 Plan. The 2014 Plan provides for the grant of cash awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units, or RSUs, performance shares and performance units. The 2014 Plan originally authorized the grant of awards relating to 250,000 shares of our common stock. In the event of any transaction that causes a

~~(Unaudited)~~

change in capitalization, the compensation committee, such other committee administering the 2014 Plan or the board of directors will make such adjustments to the number of shares of common stock delivered, and the number and/or price of shares of common stock subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2014 Plan, as it deems appropriate and equitable to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights. An amendment approved in March of 2016 by our board of directors which was approved by our stockholders at our annual meeting of stockholders in June 2016, increased the number of shares authorized for grant of awards under the 2014 Plan to a total of 450,000 shares of our common stock. In July 2020, an additional amendment was approved at our annual meeting of stockholders, which increased the number of shares authorized for grant of awards under the 2014 Plan to a total of 700,000 shares of our common stock.

The fair value of each of the option awards is estimated on the grant date using a Black Scholes option pricing model that uses the weighted average assumptions noted in the following tables. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the stock of comparable companies. The expected term of the awards was estimated based on findings from academic studies investigating the average holding period for options for adjusted for the Company’s size and risk factors. The risk free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

(1) The aggregate intrinsic value above is obtained by subtracting the exercise price from the estimated fair value of the underlying shares and multiplying this result by the related number of options outstanding and exercisable as of the period end date. There is no intrinsic value if the exercise price exceeds the fair value of the underlying shares. The estimated fair value of the shares is based on the closing price of the stock of ~~$1.90~~$1.36 as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and $1.96 as of December 31, 2021.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of ~~$41~~$42 thousand and $83 thousand for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, respectively, and ~~$27~~$256 thousand and $283 thousand for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, respectively. Stock compensation expense is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, as a component of selling, general, and administrative expenses. The income tax (expense) benefit related to share based compensation expense was immaterial for all periods presented.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, there was ~~$577~~$535 thousand of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards under the plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of ~~3.6~~3.4 years.

9.10. Income Taxes

For interim tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year to date income before income taxes. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and the effect of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur, if applicable.

Income tax benefit for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, was ~~$(0.2)~~$1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, compared to income tax expense of ~~$0.4~~$0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended ~~March 31, 2021.~~June 30, 2021, respectively. During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the effective tax ~~rate was 22%.~~rates were 9% and 10%, respectively. The differences between the effective tax rates and the statutory rate of 21% were primarily related to a ~~mix~~valuation allowance in the U.S. in which no tax benefit is recorded for incurred losses, including the U.S. allocated portion of ~~earnings in jurisdictions which have higher income tax rates than~~ the ~~U.S.~~goodwill impairment.

~~10.~~11. Leases

The Company records a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability for substantially all leases for which it is a lessee, in accordance with ASC 842. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. The Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has no significant lease agreements in place for which the Company is a lessor. At inception of a contract, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances to assess whether or not the contract represents a lease by determining whether or not the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, either explicit or implicit, for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Company leases certain industrial spaces, office space, land, and equipment. Some leases include 1 or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from generally one to 5 years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion, and are included in the lease term only to the extent such renewal options are reasonably certain of being exercised at lease commencement. Certain leases also include options to purchase the leased property. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.

New leased assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities during the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 were immaterial. Prior to March 31, 2022, the Company signed a lease extension for one of the buildings in Queretaro, Mexico. This extension led to the Company recognizing an additional ROU asset and related liability of $0.4 million.

~~11.~~12. Retirement Plans

The Company maintains a defined contribution plan covering certain full time salaried employees. Employees can make elective contributions to the plan. The Company contributes a match on 100% of an employee’s contribution up to the first 3% of each employee’s total compensation and 50% for the next 2% of each employee’s total compensation. In addition, the Company, at the discretion of the board of directors, may make additional contributions to the plan on behalf of the plan participants. The Company contributed $0.1 million ~~for the three months ended March 31, 2022~~ and ~~$0.1~~$0.2 million for the three and six months ended ~~March 31, 2021.~~June 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

~~12.~~13. Related Party Transactions

Effective March 18, 2013, the Company is a party to a management agreement with a firm related to several stockholders. The agreement initially provided for annual management fees of $300 thousand and additional fees for assistance provided with acquisitions. Effective upon completion of the Company's initial public offering, the agreement was amended to reduce the annual management fee by an amount equal to the amount, if any, of annual cash retainers and equity awards received as compensation for service on the board of directors to any person who is a related person of Taglich Private Equity, LLC or Taglich Brothers, Inc (“Taglich”). The Company incurred management fees of $56 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021, however, the Forbearance Agreement suspended any further management fee payments until the expiration of the Forbearance Period. The management agreement had an initial term of five years, expiring on March 18, 2020, and renews automatically annually for additional one year terms. The current term expires on March 18, 2023. The agreement also will terminate on the date that the Taglich Founding Investors or Taglich Equity Investors, each as defined, no longer also collectively own 50% of the equity securities owned by either of them on March 18, 2013.

Beginning in February 2021, the Company began utilizing the services of Engauge Workforce Solutions LLC (“Engauge”), a manufacturing and distribution staffing agency. Ms. Kim Korth, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, is also the Managing Director of Engauge. In March 2021, the Company entered into an agreement with Engauge for its services. The agreement is for an initial term of 12 months and will continue on a month-to-month basis after the initial term. The Company may terminate the agreement, without penalty, following the initial term with 60 days written notice. The Company has incurred fees for Engauge’s services for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 of ~~$350~~$641 thousand.

~~13.~~14. Fair Value Measurements

Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. The carrying amount of all significant financial instruments approximates fair value due to either the short maturity or the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~UNIQUE FABRICATING, INC.~~

~~NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~(Unaudited)~~

Accounting standards require certain other items be reported at fair value in the financial statements and provides a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value.

Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar items in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related item. Level 3 fair value measurements are based primarily on management’s own estimates using inputs such as pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques taking into account the characteristics of the item.

In instances whereby inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each item.

Table of Contents

UNIQUE FABRICATING, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The Company measures its interest rate swaps at fair value on a recurring basis based primarily on Level 2 inputs using an income model based on disparity between variable and fixed interest rates, the scheduled balance of principal outstanding, yield curves and other information readily available in the market. Please refer to Note 78 for more information on the Company’s interest rate swap.

The Company ~~assess~~assesses goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis, and more frequently whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The goodwill impairment analysis is based on Level 3 inputs, including forecasted EBITDA margins and future cash flows.

~~14.~~15. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed giving effect to all potentially weighted average dilutive shares including stock options and warrants. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards, if any, is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the numerator and the denominator of basic and diluted loss per share:

~~15.~~16. Employee Retention Credit

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) included, among other things, an employee retention credit (the “ERC”) which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. The periods for which the ERC benefit can be claimed has been expanded since the CARES Act of 2020. The Relief Act of 2021 and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 extended the period for which the ERC could be claimed for eligible wages from January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2022. However, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act amended the eligible period to end on October 1, 2021. These three Acts made it possible for the Company to claim the ERC benefit if certain financial and headcount requirements were met.

(Unaudited)

A Company qualifies for the ERC for quarters that experience a significant decline in gross receipts, which is defined as quarterly gross receipts less than 80 percent of gross receipts for the same period in 2019. The ERC is available for qualified wages (including certain health plan expenses) of up to $10,000 per employee per quarter.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recorded an employee retention credit of $3.0 million, of which, $2.5 million and $0.5 million was recorded within cost of sales and selling, general, and administrative expenses, respectively, on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized an ERC benefit of $0.3 million, all of which was recorded in cost of sales. The ERC benefit is presented as prepaid expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

17. Contingencies

The Company is engaged from time to time in legal matters and proceedings arising out of its normal course of business. The Company establishes a liability related to its legal proceedings and claims when it has determined that it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and the related amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that an obligation is reasonably possible, the Company will, if material, disclose the nature of the loss contingency and the estimated range of possible loss, or include a statement that no estimate of loss can be made. While uncertainties are inherent in the final outcome of such matters, the Company believes that there are no pending proceedings in which the Company is currently involved that will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Recent Developments

Coronavirus

The COVID-19 pandemic’s adverse impact on the global economy has persisted through ~~the beginning of~~ 2022. The supply chain constraints, increasing raw material costs, and limited labor availability have continued to hinder the results of our operations, cash flows, and financial position. While the COVID-19 pandemics effects on the global economy are not expected to be permanent, the duration of the lingering consequences cannot be accurately estimated.

The Company continues to follow guidelines with respect to operating during the COVID-19 pandemic provided by the various governmental entities in the jurisdictions where we operate and is taking additional measures to protect our employees.

Goodwill Impairment

Employee Retention Credit

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company recognized an Employee Retention Credit of $3.0 million on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. In order to qualify for this COVID pandemic related relief, the Company had to satisfy certain financial and head count requirements. During the third quarter of 2021, the Company recorded gross receipts that represented a 24% decline compared to the same period in 2019. This decline qualifies the Company for the ERC for wages incurred in the third quarter of 2021, in accordance with the amendments to the ERC program in the American Rescue Plan Act. In calculating the qualifying wages, the Company also determined eligibility to include wages paid to employees providing services and not providing services. An amendment to the ERC in the Relief Act of 2021 made this possible if the entity had, on average, 500 or fewer full-time employees in 2019. Considering the two preceding requirements, and with the help of a professional services firm, the Company confirmed its eligibility for the benefit during the second quarter of 2022.

Cost of Sales

The major components of cost of sales are raw materials purchased from third parties, direct labor and benefits, and manufacturing overhead, including facility costs, utilities, supplies, repairs and maintenance, insurance, freight costs of products shipped to customers, and depreciation. Cost of sales consists of the following major components:


	Three Months Ended June 30, 2022				Three Months Ended June 30, 2021
	Amount		As % of net sales		Amount		As % of net sales
	(dollars in thousands)
Materials	$	19,035	54.3	%	$	16,029	51.9	%
Direct labor and benefits	4,219		12.0	%	4,688		15.2	%
Manufacturing overhead	5,776		16.5	%	4,846		15.7	%

Gross Profit	$	5,243	15.0	%	$	4,616	14.9	%

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily the result recognizing increased benefits from the Employee Retention Credit, which reduced direct labor costs by ~~increasing selling prices, which were not yet implemented~~$2.1 million and manufacturing overhead salary costs by $0.4 million in the ~~first~~second quarter of 2022, compared to a $0.3 million benefit in the same period of 2021. Material as a percentage of net sales increased as a result of higher raw material and freight costs driven by price increases from our vendors. Further offsetting the ERC benefit in cost of sales were equipment and labor related operational issues at our LaFayette, Georgia facility.

Gross Profit

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales, or gross margin, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was 15.0% compared to 14.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross profit and gross margin in the three months ended June 30, 2022, were both negatively impacted by higher raw material and freight costs as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. These higher manufacturing input costs were partially offset by the impact of the ERC and our cost recovery efforts.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general, and administrative expenses	$	4,241		$	6,081
Selling, general, and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales	12.1		%	19.7		%

Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $1.8 million to $4.2 million compared to $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in selling, general, and administrative expenses during the three months ended June 30, 2022 was driven by decreased salary expenses as a result of our 2021 cost reduction activities, $0.5 million benefit of the ERC, and lower intangible asset amortization as certain assets reached the end of their useful lives.

Operating Loss

Operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $11.2 million, or 31.9% of net sales, compared to an operating loss of $1.5 million, or 4.7% of net sales, for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in operating loss was primarily attributable to the goodwill impairment charge of $12.2 million recorded in the second quarter of 2022.

Other Expense, Net

Other expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $0.6 million compared to other expense, net of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Non-operating expense was lower in 2022 due to favorable mark-to-market adjustments on our interest rate swap.

Loss Before Income Taxes

As a result of the foregoing factors, our net loss before income taxes increased $9.5 million to a loss of $11.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to a loss of $2.2 million in 2021.

Income Tax Provision

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, income tax benefit was $1.0 million, and the effective income tax rate was 9%, compared to income tax expense of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The differences between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of 21% were primarily related to a valuation allowance in the U.S. in which no tax benefit is recorded for incurred losses, including the U.S. allocated portion of the goodwill impairment.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was $10.7 million compared to a net loss of $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in net loss is attributable to the goodwill impairment charge of $12.2 million recorded in the second quarter of 2022, partially offset by the impact of the Employee Retention Credit recognized in the second quarter of 2022.

Our ability to borrow, however, under the revolving line of credit is dependent on the Forbearance Agreement, which expires ~~at the end of May~~September 12, 2022, including our compliance with its terms.

Our Debt

~~Table of Contents~~

The Company’s financial results for the six months ended December 31, 2020 and the nine months ended March 31, 2021 resulted in violations of one or more of the following financial covenants: (1) Maximum Total Leverage Ratio; (2) Minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio; and (3) Minimum Consolidated EBITDA; each as defined in the Company’s Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The Company entered into a Forbearance Agreement, providing for a period initially commencing on April 9, 2021 and through and including June 15, 2021, during which the Company was able to borrow on its ~~Revolver,~~Revolving line of credit, subject to the terms and conditions to making a revolving credit advance, including availability, and the Lenders

agreed, subject to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, to forbear from enforcing their rights or seeking to collect payment of the Company’s debt or disposing of the collateral securing the debt.

On June 14, 2021, the Company entered into the First Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement, which among other things, extended the forbearance period from June 15, 2021 to February 28, 2022, and waived the testing of the Maximum Total Leverage Ratio and Minimum Debt Service Coverage ratios for the duration of the Forbearance Period. The First Amendment also substituted Minimum Liquidity and Minimum Consolidated EBITDA requirements, which were tested monthly beginning with the month ending July 31, 2021.

On September 21, 2021, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement, which, among other things, made changes to the calculations of financial covenants, contained revised requirements for Minimum Liquidity and Minimum Consolidated EBITDA, as defined, for the monthly periods through and including February 28, 2022, and revised the Revolving Credit Aggregate Commitment from $30 million to $27 million.

On December 9, 2021, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement. The Lenders in the Third Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement, among other things, agreed to forbear with respect to a Minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenant violation as of September 30, 2021, and to suspend compliance with the Minimum Consolidated EBITDA covenant during the remainder of the forbearance period. The Third Amendment included a new covenant which has been tested weekly on a rolling basis, beginning December 15, 2021, and requires that the Company’s actual cumulative total cash disbursements for the period being tested to not exceed total cash disbursements projected by the Company for the same period by more than 15% at any time during the forbearance period. The Third Amendment also reduced the maximum amount that may be borrowed under the revolving line of credit to $25 million from $27 million.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company was in violation of the required Minimum Liquidity covenant, as provided in the Second Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement, dated September 21, 2021. As a result, on February 4, 2022, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to Forbearance Agreement. The Lenders in the Fourth Amendment agreed to waive the Minimum Liquidity covenant violation. The Company did have the required Minimum Liquidity by the conclusion of the first week of 2022.

OnBetween February 25, 2022, and June 13, 2022, the Company entered into four forbearance agreement amendments, each of these amendments extended the Forbearance Period. The Fifth Amendment to Forbearance Agreement ~~which~~(entered February 25, 2022) extended the Forbearance Period from February 28, 2022 to March 11, 2022. The ~~Company used the short-term extension of its~~Sixth Amendment to Forbearance Agreement (entered into March 11, 2022) extended the Forbearance Period from March 11, 2022 to May 30, 2022.

The Eighth Amendment to Forbearance Agreement (entered into June 13, 2022) extended the Forbearance Period from June 13, 2022 to July 14, 2022.

The Eighth Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement also provided for the termination of LIBOR based interest rates on borrowings under the Credit Agreement: (1) as of the effective date of the amendment, June 13, 2022, with respect to any advances under the Credit Agreement after the amendment’s effective date, and (2) the expiration of any then current LIBOR interest period applicable to then outstanding advances with a LIBOR based interest rate. The Eighth Amendment substituted SOFR for LIBOR, the amendment also defined “SOFR” as a rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate published on the website of the SOFR administrator or any successor source identified as such by the ~~Fifth Amendment,~~administrator.

On ~~March 11,~~July 14, 2022, the Company entered into the ~~Sixth~~Ninth Amendment to Forbearance Agreement, which extends the Forbearance Period from ~~March 11,~~July 14, 2022 to ~~May 30,~~September 12, 2022. The Company intends to use the latest extension of its Forbearance Agreement, provided by the Ninth Amendment to continue negotiations with the Lenders in pursuit of a cure or waiver of financial covenant defaults and to amend the credit agreement.

During the extended Forbearance Period, the Company expects it will continue to be able to borrow under the revolving line of credit, subject to availability and satisfaction of certain other conditions. The Company has used and intends to use the forbearance period to continue negotiations with the Lenders to enter into an amendment and waiver to cure the defaults, extend, if possible, extend the maturity of the Credit Agreement and to investigate other sources of financing, including to augment availability under the Credit Agreement. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in these efforts. During the forbearance period, the Company may not make any payment, transfer, or distribution out of the ordinary course of business or payments, including salary or compensation or distributions to or for the benefit of any member, owner, or director, other than normal and customary employment salaries which do not exceed sums paid for similar positions in the Company’s marketplace.

Capital Expenditures

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was ~~$1.8~~$1.4 million, compared to net cash ~~provided~~used by operating activities of ~~$0.1~~$0.9 million for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily attributable to an increased focus on managing our ~~inventory~~working capital levels to be more closely aligned with our customer release ~~schedules.~~schedules and our expectation of near-term demand for our products based on available third-party data.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by or used in investing activities consists principally of the purchase and sale of property, plant and equipment.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021, we made capital expenditures of ~~$0.2~~$0.6 million and ~~$1.5~~$2.3 million, respectively. We currently plan to spend a total of approximately ~~$2.3~~$1.1 million in capital expenditures during 2022, including the ~~$0.2~~$0.6 million spent through ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by or used in financing activities consists primarily of borrowings and payments under our ~~senior~~ credit facilities, proceeds from the issuance of common stock, debt issuance costs, proceeds from any exercise of stock options and warrants, and distribution of cash dividends.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, we had net cash used by financing activities of ~~$1.5~~$1.0 million compared to $3.3 million cash provided by financing activities during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2021. The increase in cash outflows during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 was driven by increased repayments of borrowings under the Company’s line of credit.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to an investment in our securities.

Indemnification Agreements

In the normal course of business, we provide customers with indemnification provisions of varying scope against claims of intellectual property infringement by third parties arising from the use of our products. Historically, costs related to these

indemnification provisions have not been significant and we are unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnification provisions on our future results of operations. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with directors and certain officers and employees that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. No demands have been made upon us to provide indemnification under such agreements and there are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity or condensed consolidated cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect amounts reported in those statements. We have made our best estimates of certain amounts contained in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. However, application of our accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Management believes that the estimates, assumptions, and judgments involved in the accounting policies that have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements are discussed in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or uses of estimates since the date of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have operations both within the United States and internationally, and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include interest rate and foreign exchange risks.

Interest Rate Fluctuation Risk

Our borrowings under our Credit Agreement bear interest at fluctuating rates. In order to mitigate, in part, the potential effects of the fluctuating rates, the Company entered into interest rate swaps. Effective November 30, 2018, as required under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company entered into an interest rate swap that requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of 3.075 per annum while receiving a variable interest rate per annum based on one month LIBOR for a net monthly settlement based on the notional amount in effect. The notional amount at the effective date was $5.0 million which increased by $0.04 million each quarter until June 29, 2018 when the notional amount increased to $17.5 million due to the interest rate swap from 2016 ~~described above~~ expiring. The notional amount then decreased each quarter by $0.1 million until September 30, 2020 when the notional amount increased to $17.5 million due to the interest rate swap from 2017 ~~above~~ expiring. The notional amount then ~~decreases~~decreased each quarter by $0.4 million until December 31, 2021, ~~then decreases~~and will decrease each subsequent quarter by $0.6 million until it expires on November 8, 2023.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022, the fair value of all swaps was in a net liability position of ~~$0.2 million~~$8 thousand and is included in other accrued liabilities and other long term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We do not believe that an increase or decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points would have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act") referred to herein as “Disclosure Controls,” at the end of the quarter covered by this report.
