Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Uniroyal Global Engineered Products, Inc. (the “Company,” “Uniroyal Global,” “we,” or “us”) owns all of the ownership interests in Uniroyal Engineered Products, LLC (“Uniroyal”), a U.S. manufacturer of textured coatings, and its holding company, UEP Holdings, LLC (“UEPH”), and all of the ordinary common stock of Uniroyal Global (Europe) Limited (“UGEL”) formerly known as Engineered Products Acquisition Limited (“EPAL”), the holding company for Uniroyal Global Limited (“UGL”) formerly Wardle Storeys (Earby) Limited (“Wardle Storeys”), a European manufacturer of textured coatings. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared based upon U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Therefore, they do not include all information and footnote disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Uniroyal Global filed audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019 which included all information and notes necessary for such complete presentation in conjunction with its 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim period ended April 4, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 3, 2021, which are contained in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company and its subsidiaries use a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31. The current year ending January 2, 2022 is a 52-week year whereas the prior year ended January 3, 2021 was a 53-week year. The Company’s U.K. subsidiaries use the calendar year end of December 31. The activity of the U.K. subsidiaries that occurs on the days that do not coincide with the Company’s year-end is not material. The three months ended April 4, 2021 was a 13-week period and the three months ended April 5, 2020 was a 14-week period. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of April 4, 2021 and the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the interim periods ended April 4, 2021 and April 5, 2020. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company uses the U.S. dollar as the reporting currency for financial reporting. The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s U.K.-based operations are measured using the British Pound Sterling as the functional currency. See Note 4 – “Foreign Currency Translation” for additional discussion. For purposes of comparability, certain reclassifications have been made to amounts previously reported to conform with the current period presentation. Significant Accounting Policies For a discussion of Uniroyal Global’s significant accounting policies, refer to Note 1 – “Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021. Coronavirus (“COVID-19”) Demand for Uniroyal Global’s products continues to improve since the initial impact of COVID-19 on the global economy, which began for the Company in the latter part of March 2020, and as businesses move closer to resuming normal activities. However, COVID-19 is a continually evolving situation and the Company cannot predict the long-term impact the coronavirus will have on the economy or the Company’s business. The impact could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, which may require the Company to obtain additional financing. The Company continues to pursue supplementary cash flow opportunities to provide further liquidity, as described below. In March 2021, the Company’s U.S. operations received $2.0 million in funds from One Community Bank through the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“the CARES Act”). The loan matures in March 2026 and bears an interest rate of 1.0%. The loan may be prepaid at any time prior to maturity with no prepayment penalties. All or a portion of the loan may be forgiven by the SBA for costs the Company incurs for payroll, rent, utilities and all other allowable expenses during the 24-week period that began March 1, 2021. The Company intends to use all proceeds from the loan to maintain payroll and make payments for lease, utility and other allowable expenses. As a result, management believes that the Company will meet the PPP eligibility criteria for forgiveness and has concluded that the loan represents, in substance, a government grant that is expected to be forgiven. As such, in accordance with International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 20, “Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance,” the Company recognized $838,864 as grant income, which is included as a component of net other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended April 4, 2021. As of April 4, 2021, the remaining balance of the loan ($1,161,136), which was included in long-term debt, less current portion in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, is expected to be recognized as forgiven debt during the second quarter of 2021. Additionally, quarterly dividend payments have been deferred each quarter beginning with the dividends that were accrued for the three months ended December 29, 2019 through the dividends that were accrued for the three months ended April 4, 2021. As of April 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021, accrued dividends of $4,775,094 and $4,019,905, respectively, were included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Legal Proceedings On October 1, 2020, the Health and Safety Executive (“HSE”), the government agency responsible for the enforcement of health and safety law in the U.K., charged our U.K. subsidiary, Uniroyal Global Limited, with an offense under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 arising from an August 2019 incident in which an employee was injured in the course of his employment. The Company fully cooperated with the HSE investigation and negotiated a plea based on legal advice provided to it. Based on this legal advice, the Company believed that £150,000 ($193,000) was a reasonable estimate of the fine to be imposed and, accordingly, recorded an accrual for this charge in 2020, which was included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of April 4, 2021 and January 3, 2021. In April 2021, a fine of £120,000 ($165,500) was imposed on the Company related to this matter. The Company has until October 2022 to pay the fine in full. In addition, a fee of £5,463 ($7,533) to reimburse the HSE for legal expenses was paid in May 2021. |
