Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors of Armored AutoGroup Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Armored AutoGroup Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, shareholder’s equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used, and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Armored AutoGroup Inc. at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Armored AutoGroup Inc.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1—The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The Company
Armored AutoGroup Inc. is a consumer products company consisting primarily of Armor All and STP, two of the most recognizable brands in the automotive aftermarket appearance products and performance chemicals categories, respectively. Armored AutoGroup Inc. delivers its products to distributors, resellers and end users (collectively the customers) through its direct operations in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia, China and the United Kingdom and distributor relationships in approximately 50 countries. The Armor All and STP brands offer multiple automotive appearance and performance chemicals that can be found in most of the major developed countries around the world.
In September 2010, Viking Acquisition Inc., an entity owned by affiliates of Avista Capital Holdings, L.P. (“Avista”), entered into an agreement to acquire the AutoCare Products Business, Armor All, STP and certain other brands from Clorox pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated September 21, 2010 (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition closed on November 5, 2010 and included employees in the United States and other countries dedicated to the Company, related product patent and developed technology and certain other assets, including the manufacturing facilities located in Painesville, Ohio and Wales, U.K. Viking Acquisition Inc. was subsequently renamed as Armored AutoGroup Inc. (“AAG”). Armored AutoGroup Parent Inc. (“AAG Parent” or “Parent”) indirectly owns all of AAG’s issued and outstanding capital stock through its direct subsidiary and AAG’s direct parent, Armored AutoGroup Intermediate Inc., (“Intermediate”).
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP). The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company’s business is moderately seasonal and can be impacted by weather. The Company’s sales are typically higher in the first half of the calendar year as our customers purchase inventory for the spring and summer seasons when weather is warmer in the northern hemisphere than in the fall and winter months. This pattern is largely reflective of our customers’ seasonal purchasing patterns, as well as the timing of our promotional activities. Weather can also influence consumer behavior, especially for appearance products. Our appearance products sell best during warm and dry weather, and less strongly if weather is cold and wet. For these reasons, among others, the Company’s results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of future quarterly results and, accordingly,period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. Specific areas, among others, requiring the application of management’s estimates and judgment include assumptions pertaining to allowances for excess and obsolete inventory, provisions for cash discounts on amounts due from customers, fair values assigned to assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with acquisitions (see Note 7), accruals for consumer and trade promotion programs, future product volume

and pricing estimates, future cash flows utilized in impairment testing of goodwill and other long lived assets, creditworthiness of customers and potential income tax. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions made.
Foreign Currency Translation
Local currencies are the functional currencies for substantially all of the Company’s foreign operations, with the exception of the Company’s United Kingdom operation whose functional currency is the U.S. dollar. When the transactional currency is different than the functional currency, transaction gains and losses are included as a component of other expense (income), net. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the respective balance sheet reporting date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Gains and losses on foreign currency translations are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income. Deferred taxes are not provided on cumulative translation adjustments where the Company expects earnings of a foreign subsidiary to be indefinitely reinvested.
Accounts Receivable, net
The Company records accounts receivable at net realizable value. This value includes allowances for discounts and estimated uncollectible accounts to reflect losses anticipated on accounts receivable balances. The allowance for uncollectible accounts is based on historicalwrite-offs, an analysis of past due accounts based on the contractual terms of the receivables, and the economic status of customers, if known. The Company believes that the allowance is sufficient to cover uncollectible amounts; however, there can be no assurance that unanticipated future business conditions of customers will not have a negative impact on our results of operations. Accounts receivable are written off against the allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts should we conclude their collection is improbable.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable, which are typically unsecured, are limited to an extent due to the large number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across many geographical regions. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of the financial condition of its customers and requires credit enhancements, such as letters of credit and bank guarantees, in certain circumstances.
The Company does, however, sell a significant portion of its products through third party distributors, resellers and significant retail customers (See Note 3) and, as a result, maintains at times significant receivables balances with these parties. If the financial condition of these distributors, resellers or significant retail customers should deteriorate substantially, the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be adversely affected.
Cash at times may exceed FDIC insurable limits.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market under afirst-in,first-out (“FIFO”) basis. When necessary, the Company provides allowances to adjust the carrying value of its inventory to the lower of cost or market, including any costs to sell or dispose. Consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive inventory levels, product deterioration and other factors in evaluating net realizable value for the purposes of determining the lower of cost or market.
Property, Plant and Equipment, net
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses are calculated by thestraight-line method using the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Routine repairs and maintenance are expensed when incurred. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over a period no longer than the lease term. Internal and external costs incurred in developing or obtaining computer software for internal use are capitalized in property, plant and equipment and are amortized on astraight-line basis, over the estimated useful life of the software. General and administrative costs related to developing or obtaining such software are expensed as incurred.
The following table provides estimated useful lives generally assigned to property, plant and equipment by asset classification:
| | | | |
Classification | | Expected Useful Lives | |
Land improvements | | | 10 - 30 years | |
Buildings | | | 7 - 40 years | |
Machinery and equipment | | | 2 - 15 years | |
Computer software | | | 3 - 7 years | |
Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset (or asset group) may not be recoverable. The Company’s impairment review requires significant management judgment including estimating the future success of product lines, future sales volumes, revenue and expense growth rates, alternative uses for the assets and estimated proceeds from the disposal of the assets. The Company conducts reviews of idle and underutilized equipment when events or circumstances arise indicating that future cash flows are insufficient to recover the book value of asset groups, and reviews business plans for possible impairment indicators. Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of the asset (or asset group) exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows. When impairment is indicated, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the asset’s (or asset group’s) book value and its estimated fair value. Depending on the asset, estimated fair value may be determined either by use of a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model or by reference to estimated selling values of assets in similar condition. The use of different assumptions would increase or decrease the estimated fair value of assets and would increase or decrease any impairment measurement. There have been no instances of impairment identified.

Note 1—The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Finite Lived Intangible Assets
Amortization of intangible assets with finite lives (customer relationships and licensing arrangements) is recognized over estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 10 years, which the Company believes reasonably represents the time period in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or otherwise realized. The Company has experienced a negligible attrition rate in its customer base, and is not able to identify a reliable pattern of attrition and, as such, is utilizing thestraight-line amortization method to amortize customer relationship intangible assets. Finite lived intangible assets are reviewed for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There have been no instances of impairment identified.
Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets
The Company tests its trademarks and brand names with indefinite lives for impairment annually on the first day of the fourth quarter unless there are indications during an interim period that these assets are more likely than not to have become impaired. For trademarks and brand names with indefinite lives, impairment occurs when the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated fair value. An impairment charge is recorded for the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value. The Company uses an income approach, therelief-from-royalty method, to estimate the fair value of its trademarks and trade names with indefinite lives. This method assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to obtain the rights to use the comparable asset. The determination of the fair values of trademarks and brand name assets with indefinite lives requires significant judgments in determining both the assets’ estimated cash flows as well as the appropriate discount and royalty rates applied to those cash flows to determine fair value. Changes in such estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could produce different results.
Goodwill
The Company tests its goodwill for impairment annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter unless there are indications during an interim period that these assets are more likely than not to have become impaired. The first step of the goodwill impairment test is to compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount to determine if there is potential impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.
The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. That is, the fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to all of the assets and liabilities of that unit (including any unrecognized intangible assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination at the date of the evaluation and the fair value was the purchase price paid to acquire the reporting unit.
The Company estimates the fair value of reporting units using a weighting of fair values derived from an income approach and a market approach. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit under the first step of the goodwill impairment test and determining the fair value of individual assets and

liabilities of a reporting unit (including unrecognized intangible assets) under the second step of the goodwill impairment test is inherently subjective in nature and often involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions based on known facts and circumstances at the time the Company performs the valuation. The use of different assumptions, inputs and judgments or changes in circumstances could materially affect the results of the valuation and could have a significant impact on whether or not an impairment charge is recognized and the magnitude of any such charge.
Income approach—To determine fair value, the Company uses a DCF approach for each of the reporting units. Under this approach, the Company estimates the future cash flows of each reporting unit and discounts these cash flows at a rate of return that reflects their relative risk. The cash flows used in the DCF are consistent with the Company’slong-range forecasts, and give consideration to historic and projectedlong-term business trends and strategies. The other key estimates and factors used in the DCF include, but are not limited to, discount rates, future sales volumes, revenue and expense growth rates, changes in working capital, capital expenditure forecasts, foreign exchange rates, currency devaluation, inflation, and a perpetuity growth rate.
Market approach—The Company uses the guideline public company method to select reasonably similar/guideline publicly traded companies for each of the Company’s reporting units. Using the guideline public company method, the Company calculates earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiples for each of the public companies using both historical and forecasted EBITDA figures. By applying these multiples to the appropriate historical and forecasted EBITDA figures for each reporting unit, fair value estimates are calculated.
Revenue Recognition
Sales are recognized when title to the product, ownership and risk of loss transfer to the customer, which can be on the date of shipment or the date of receipt by the customer and when all of the following have occurred: a firm sales arrangement exists, pricing is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue includes shipping and handling costs, which generally are included in the list price to the customer. Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are not included in sales. A provision for payment discounts and product return allowances is recorded as a reduction of sales in the same period that the revenue is recognized.
The Company routinely commits toon-going andone-time trade promotion programs with customers, consisting primarily of customer pricing allowances, merchandising funds and consumer coupons offered through various programs to customers and consumers. Accruals for expected payouts under these programs are included as accrued marketing and promotion in the accrued expenses and other liabilities line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are recorded as a reduction of sales in the Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
Amounts received by the Company from the licensing of certain trademarks are recorded as deferred revenue on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are recognized in net sales, on astraight-line basis over the term of the licensing agreement, when the underlying royalties are earned.
Cost of Products Sold
Cost of products sold is primarily comprised of direct materials and supplies consumed in the manufacturing of product, as well as manufacturing labor, depreciation expense, direct overhead

Note 1—The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
expense necessary to acquire and convert the purchased materials and supplies into finished product, contract manufacturing costs, and provisions for inventory losses (including losses relating to excess and obsolete inventory). Cost of products sold also includes the cost to distribute products to customers, inbound freight costs, internal transfer costs, warehousing costs and other shipping and handling activity as well as costs associated with developing and designing new packaging.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling and administrative expense is primarily comprised of marketing expenses, selling expenses, administrative and other indirect overhead costs, depreciation and amortization expense onnon-manufacturing assets and other miscellaneous operating items.Non-advertising related components of the Company’s total marketing spending include costs associated with consumer promotions, product sampling and sales aids, all of which are included in selling and administrative expenses.
Advertising Costs
Advertising and sales promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with the Company’s television, print, radio, internet andin-store campaigns are expensed when the advertising or promotion is published or presented to consumers. Costs associated with the Company’s racing sponsorships and promotional events are expensed at the time or during the period of the race or promotional event.
Shared Services Agreement
Under the Shared Services Agreement (the “Shared Services Agreement”), the Company provides to IDQ and IDQ provides to us, certain services, including, but not limited to, executive and senior management, administrative support, human resources, information technology support, accounting, finance, technology development, legal, and procurement services. In accordance with the agreement and applicable accounting guidance, direct costs clearly applicable to IDQ or the Company are not shared and costs that are not clearly applicable to IDQ or the Company are allocated based on a mutually agreed upon criteria and methodology. This methodology is largely a pro rata allocation based upon an analysis of each individual company’s contribution to the aggregate cost of the shared functions before such services became shared and the actual costs of such functions for the period.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company charged IDQ $2.5 million for shared services while IDQ charged us $1.6 million, principally relating to the selling, general and administrative costs and which is reflected on a net basis in selling, general and administrative expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
In the opinion of management, the method of allocating these costs is reasonable; however, the costs of these services allocated between the Company and IDQ are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have been incurred by the either company on astand-alone basis.
Share Based Compensation
Parent has allowed the Company to grant to it’s employees both time based stock option awards and performance based stock option awards, which vest subject to a liquidity event (e.g., an initial public offering or change in control, as defined) and based upon the attainment of specified minimum

Note 1—The Company and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
returns on capital to Parent shareholders. The Company measures share based compensation associated with the time based awards based on their fair values on the dates they were granted. The expense was recognized by amortizing the fair value on astraight-line basis over the vesting period. Although the Company has estimated the fair value of its performance based stock option awards, given that the performance condition (a liquidity event) is not probable of occurrence, the Company has notto-date recognized any share based compensation expense attendant to these awards (see Note 14). In the third quarter of 2014, the Company determined that the stock compensation expense was not required based on the vesting provisions of the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan. As a result, the Company reversed the cumulative stock compensation expense of $0.8 million.
Employee Benefits
In November 2010, the Company established a defined contribution plan for its U.S. employees, which qualifies as a tax deferred savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC” or the “Code”). Eligible U.S. employees may contribute a percentage of theirpre-tax compensation, subject to certain IRC limitations. The plan provides for employer matching contributions of 100% of participant income deferrals to a maximum of $1,000 and employer contributions up to 10% of a participant’s annual base salary, subject to limits prescribed under U.S. federal regulations.
Operating Leases
The Company recognizes rental expense for operating leases, including those with rent abatement and escalation provisions, on astraight-line basis over the applicable lease term.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs represent legal, other professional and bank underwriting fees incurred in connection with the issuance of debt. Such fees are amortized over the life of the related debt using the interest method and are included in interest expense.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the asset and liability method to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the anticipated future tax consequences attributable to the differences between the financial statement amounts and their respective tax bases. Management reviews the Company’s deferred tax assets to determine whether their value can be realized based upon available evidence. A valuation allowance is established when management believes that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. Changes in valuation allowances from period to period are included in the Company’s tax provision in the period of change. In addition to valuation allowances, the Company provides for uncertain tax positions when such tax positions do not meet the recognition thresholds or measurement standards prescribed by accounting guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Amounts for uncertain tax positions are adjusted when new information becomes available or when positions are effectively settled.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No.��2014-15—Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The ASU requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued and, if so, to disclose that fact. The ASU requires management to make this evaluation for both the annual and interim reporting periods, if applicable. Management is also required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) that removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, provides more useful information to users of the financial statements through improved disclosure requirements and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Full or modified retrospective adoption is required and early application is not permitted. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.

Note 2—Investment in Affiliate andRelated-Party Transactions
On March 17, 2014, the Company paid $10.0 million to acquire anon-controlling equity interest in IDQ Acquisition Corp. (“IDQ”) and also paid $1.2 million in transaction fees and closing costs. The investment is accounted for under the cost method of accounting. The transaction fees and closing costs included $0.3 million paid to a board member for services rendered in connection with the transaction. The transaction fees and closing costs are reported in selling and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. On the same date, Parent acquired a controlling equity interest in IDQ. In connection with the investment, the Company entered into a Shared Services Agreement with IDQ and Parent pursuant to which certain services are provided by one party to another, as agreed by the Company and IDQ, with the purpose of utilizing the assets and operations of each company to increase sales and lower the combined costs for the mutual benefit of both IDQ and the Company. On March 11, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment of its Credit Facility revising a defined term, Consolidated EBITDA. Consolidated EBITDA is used in the calculation of certain financial condition covenants under the Credit Facility. The revision to the definition of Consolidated EBITDA excludes from Consolidated EBITDA fees and expenses incurred for the Company’s investment in IDQ, the Company’s implementation of a management services agreement with IDQ and the Company’s pursuit of cost savings, expense reductions and other operating improvements and synergies related to IDQ.
In conjunction with the original Acquisition, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) with Clorox whereby Clorox would provide certain services, equipment and office space to the Company. Additionally under the TSA, the Company provided certain services to Clorox. Related party transactions and activities involving Clorox are not always consummated on terms equivalent to those that would prevail in anarm’s-length transaction where conditions of competitive,free-market dealings may exist. On November 1, 2011, the Company completed the transition of its North American and export operations from Clorox provisioning to standalone operations. The Company completed the transition of certain international operations from Clorox in the second quarter of 2012 and terminated the remaining service components of the TSA.

Note 7—Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net
During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company revised its pricing structure for intercompany purchases and sales of goods (“Intercompany Pricing”). The change in Intercompany Pricing had the effect of increasing the cost of intercompany purchases in the Company’s Europe, Middle East and Africa reporting unit, its Australia and New Zealand reporting unit and its Latin America and Asia reporting unit, while increasing the value of intercompany sales from the Company’s North America reporting unit. As a result of this change in Intercompany Pricing, when the Company determined the fair value of the assets and liabilities of its reporting units in the first step of the goodwill impairment test as described in Note 1 the fair value of the Company’s Europe, Middle East and Africa reporting unit and its Australia and New Zealand reporting unit were lower than the carrying values of those reporting units. This decrease in value resulted primarily from the change in the Intercompany Pricing structure. After completing the second step of the goodwill impairment test as described in Note 1, the Company recorded a $24.1 millionnon-cash goodwill impairment charge, which is included in impairment of goodwill in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.
During the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company completed its annualindefinite-lived intangible asset impairment assessment. The Company uses an income approach, therelief-from-royalty method, to estimate the fair value of its trademarks and trade names with indefinite lives. This method assumes that, in lieu of ownership, a third party would be willing to pay a royalty in order to obtain the rights to use the comparable asset. The determination of the fair values of trademarks and brand name assets with indefinite lives requires significant judgments in determining both the assets’ estimated cash flows

Note 7—Goodwill and Intangible Assets, net (Continued)
as well as the appropriate discount and royalty rates applied to those cash flows to determine fair value. Changes in such estimates or the application of alternative assumptions could produce different results. Based on the results of the tests, the Company recorded anon-cash impairment charge of $7.0 million related to its STP trade name. The key factors leading to the impairment charge was a decline in forecasted future results of the brand, as compared with the projections which were made when the brand was acquired from Clorox in 2010.
The Company also evaluated the recoverability of its customer relationships and licensing arrangements intangible assets as well as its tangible, long lived assets. When there is prevalent indication of impairment of a finite andlong-lived asset or asset group, the Company tests for recoverability by comparing the carrying value of an asset or asset group to their undiscounted cash flows. However, the Company concluded there was not a prevalence of evidence any impairment was present at the asset group level for any of its finite lived assets.

Customer relationships and licensing arrangements subject to amortization are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheet net of accumulated amortization of $149.1 million, and $114.7 million, at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The weighted average remaining amortization period for customer relationships and licensing arrangements subject to amortization is 6 years and 1 year, respectively. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company made an acquisition in the United Kingdom, increasing goodwill $1.9 million. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company made an acquisition in Europe, increasing goodwill and customer relationships by $0.6 million and $1.8 million (which will be amortized over 7 years), respectively. Licensing royalties were $2.5 million, $2.3 million and $3.0 million in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Credit Facility
In connection with the Acquisition on November 5, 2010, the Company entered into a credit agreement, among Intermediate, the Company, several lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other agents parties thereto (the “Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate, the sum of the greater of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or 1.75% plus 4.25%. The Credit Facility provided revolving credit and a Term Loan as follows:
Revolver—A secured $50.0 million revolving credit loan (“Revolver”) which is governed by the Revolving Credit Facility, which expires in November 2015. Further to interest as described above on the Revolver, an annual commitment fee of 0.75% is charged quarterly based on the average daily unused portion of the Revolver. No amounts were outstanding against the Revolver at December 31, 2014 and 2013. While the Company expects to be able to renew the Revolving Credit Facility, there is no guarantee the Company will be successful, which may limit the Company’s ability to achieve its corporate operating plans.
On March 11, 2014, the Company entered into an amendment of its Credit Facility revising a defined term, Consolidated EBITDA, which is equivalent to Adjusted EBITDA. Consolidated EBITDA is used in the calculation of certain financial condition covenants under the Credit Facility. The revision to the definition of Consolidated EBITDA excludes from Consolidated EBITDA fees and expenses incurred for the Company’s investment in IDQ Acquisition Corp., the Company’s implementation of a management services agreement with IDQ Acquisition Corp. and the Company’s pursuit of cost savings, expense reductions and other operating improvements and synergies related to IDQ.
Term Loan—A $300.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) with quarterly principal payments of $0.8 million and the remaining principal maturing in November 2016.
In September 2012, the Company entered into an amendment of the Credit Facility revising the maximum consolidated leverage ratio and the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio as applicable to the Company’s $50.0 million Revolver. Costs associated with the amendment of $0.4 million have been deferred and are recorded as other current assets and othernon-current assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets, and will be amortized to interest expense together with other of the Company’s deferred financing costs using the effective interest method.
The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. The Credit Facility is subject to certain covenants which restrict the payment of dividends, the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness or liens, or make certain investments and requires the Company to maintain certain

financial ratios. As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants related to the Credit Facility. The Company’s payment obligations under the Credit Facility are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the Company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. See Note 18 for financial information for the Company and its subsidiaries.
Senior Notes
In connection with the Acquisition on November 5, 2010, the Company issued 9.25% senior unsecured notes (“Senior Notes”) in an aggregate principal amount of $275.0 million, which mature in November 2018. The coupon interest on these notes is payable semiannually on May 1 and November 1.
Under terms of a registration rights agreement the Company entered into with respect to the Senior Notes, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete an exchange offer related to the Senior Notes by April 28, 2012. Until the exchange offer was completed on August 23, 2012, additional interest of $0.3 million accrued on the Senior Notes that was paid November 2012.
The indenture that governs the Senior Notes is subject to certain covenants which restrict the payment of dividends, the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness or liens, or make certain investments. The Company’s payment obligations under the Senior Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the Company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. See Note 18 for financial information for the Company and its subsidiaries.

Note 10—Fair Value Measurement of Assets and Liabilities
The Company defines fair value as 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. The Company established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value which is intended to increase consistency and comparability and related disclosures. An asset or liability’s classification is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement and is disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1—Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Observablemarket-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

Note 11—Commitments and Contingencies
The Company leases various manufacturing, warehousing and office facilities undernon-cancelable operating lease agreements which expire at various dates through 2019. The Company also has a number of third party service providers covering aspects of the administration of the business, including contract manufacturing, logistics, transportation, warehousing, software maintenance, systems support and hosting. In its marketing and brand support, the Company employs sponsorships, television, print, digital and online advertising. In sourcing of these services the Company generally enters into enforceable and legally binding agreements specifying all significant terms, including quantity, price and the approximate timing of the provision of the good or service to the Company. Under its existingnon-cancelable contracts, as of December 31, 2014 the Company is required to pay minimum annual payments as follows (in thousands):

Contract manufacturing, warehousing and logistics obligations—The Company secures its warehousing facilities and attendant services, as well as logistics and transportation expertise under several contracts extending into 2018. These outsourcing arrangements typically provide for a base fee and variable costs determined with reference to volume or the provision of additional services, and terms providing for termination for convenience on 120 days’ notice and the payment of stipulated fees and additional costs. Only fixed or base fees on an ongoing basis for the term of the contracted services are included in the above summary. Further, the Company has ongoing relationships with various suppliers who manufacture and/or package the Company’s products (“Contract Manufacturers”). Certain of the Company’s Contract Manufacturers maintain title and control of raw materials and components, materials utilized in finished products, and of the finished products themselves until shipment to the Company’s customers or third party distribution centers in accordance with agreed upon shipment terms. The Company purchases and maintains title and control of raw materials and components packaged by other of its Contract Manufacturers and is only obligated further for the services themselves. The Company typically does not have definitive minimum purchase obligations included in the contract terms with its Contract Manufacturers or other raw material or component suppliers. In the ordinary course of business, supply and service needs are communicated by the Company to its Contract Manufacturers based on orders andshort-term projections, ranging typically three months. The Company is committed to purchase the products produced by the Contract Manufacturers based on the projections provided.
Software maintenance, systems support and hosting—The Company outsources much of its information technology infrastructure. These arrangements typically provide for a base or fixed fee and additional costs associated with added systems users and supplementary services, and terms providing for early contract termination with notice and the payment of stipulated fees. Only fixed or base fees on an ongoing basis for the term of the contracted services are included in the above summary.
Sponsorship and media agreements—The Company’s marketing campaigns rely on promotional events, television, radio, print and online advertising as well as, racing and rally sponsorships. Sponsorship commitments extend into 2015 and the Company’s media plan extends through 2016.
Advisory Services and Monitoring Agreement—Under the Company’s Advisory Services and Monitoring Agreement, Avista is providing the Company ongoing advisory services with respect to strategic business plans, corporate development and financial monitoring.
Note 12—Litigation and Other Legal Matters
The Company is subject to various lawsuits and claims relating to issues such as contract disputes, product liability, patents and trademarks, advertising, employee and other matters. Although the results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Note 12—Litigation and Other Legal Matters (Continued)
In connection with the Acquisition, Clorox retained liability associated with a potential contract claim and the Company has agreed to indemnify and reimburse Clorox for 50% of the first $5.0 million in costs related to the contract claim. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has accrued a $2.5 millionlong-term liability related to this contingency.
Note 13—Common Stock
The Company has one thousand shares of $0.01 par value common stock authorized, issued and outstanding at December 31, 2014 and 2013. Through Intermediate, Parent indirectly owns all of the Company’s common stock. 91.3% of Parent’s issued and outstanding common stock is owned by Avista, with an additional 7.1% owned by Kinderhook Industries and the remaining aggregate 1.6% owned by certain members of management and the Board of Directors (“Management Stockholders”) and purchased in connection with the IDQ Investment.
Repurchase right
Under the terms of the Stockholders’ Agreement dated November 5, 2010 among Parent, Avista, and the Management Stockholders, Parent has the option but not an obligation to repurchase all of the shares of Parent common stock held by former Company employees whether acquired directly on Acquisition or issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options to former Company employees who terminate employment under certain circumstances. The purchase price of the Parent’s call option as prescribed in the Stockholders’ Agreement is to be determined through a valuation of Parent common stock on a minority,non-marketable interest basis or, under certain circumstances, based on cost, as defined therein. As there is no active market for Parent’s common stock, the Company estimates the fair value of its common stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. If a participant in the 2010 AAG Stock Option Plan (see Note 14) were to terminate employment with the Company, the Parent’s exercise of its repurchase right under the Stockholders’ Agreement on shares received by the former Company employee through the exercise of stock options may require equity awards to be expensed in the Company’s statement of comprehensive loss in the period in which the termination occurs.

In November 2010, the Parent’s Board of Directors approved the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 AAG Option Plan”), which authorized equity awards to be granted for up to 26,500,000 shares of Parent’s common stock. On June 23, 2014, the Parent’s Board of Directors resolved to increase the shares authorized for grant to 27,565,000. Under the 2010 AAG Option Plan, certain management and

key employees of the Company have been or may be granted a combination of time based and performance based options to purchase the Parent’s common stock. Share based compensation expense related to employee grants under the 2010 AAG Option Plan had previously been reflected in the financial statements. However, during the third quarter of 2014, the Company determined that no compensation expense should be recognized until an actual vesting event occurs. As a result, approximately $0.8 million of compensation expense which was previously recognized for these grants was reversed. As of December 31, 2014, equity awards for approximately 2,808,750 shares of Parent’s common stock remain available for grant under the 2010 AAG Option Plan.
The Company utilizes an option pricing method employing a Black Scholes model to estimate the fair value of stock options granted. The following weighted average assumptions were used for time based and performance based option grants in the periods:
| | | | | | |
| | Year ended December 31, 2014 | | Year ended December 31, 2013 | | Year ended December 31, 2012 |
Expected life | | 3.0 years | | 6.5 years | | 6.5 years |
Expected volatility | | 80.0% | | 34.0% | | 35.0% |
Risk-free interest rate | | 0.65% - 0.86% | | 1.23% - 2.03% | | 0.91% - 1.36% |
Dividend yield | | 0% | | 0% | | 0% |
Time based and performance based options expire ten years from the date of grant. The expected life of the stock options on the option grants during the period was determined based on the average of the weighted vesting term and the contractual term of the options. However, after the modification discussed below, the expected term was changed to the remaining vesting period of 3 years. The Company estimates stock option forfeitures based on historical data from Clorox and will adjust the rate to expected forfeitures whenCompany-specific experience indicates a different trend. Expected volatility for the period is determined consistently based on afive-company peer group, all of which have publicly traded stock. Therisk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield on a U.S. Treasury yield curve with a term similar to the expected remaining term of the option on the date of the grant. Dividend yield for the period is determined based on projected annual dividend payments.
Employees of the Company participate in the Stock Option Plan of Parent (the “Plan”). On June 23, 2014, Parent modified the stock option grant agreements for certain employees participating in the Plan. In addition, Parent granted additional options covering 2,385,000 shares to employees during the quarter ended June 30, 2014 at $1.00 per share. One half of the modified and newly granted options vest ratably over a five year period from the date of grant/modification based upon the passage of time (the “Time Award”), while the remaining 50% of the options vest upon the achievement of specified performance conditions as set forth in the grant agreements. The performance condition can be met each fiscal year if certain EBITDA targets are achieved, subject to certain carry back and carry forward provisions, or if a change of control occurs and the applicable return of capital target is met.

Under the 2010 AAG Option Plan, time based options vested ratably over the applicable service period, five years, on each anniversary of the date of grant and, regardless, immediately upon a change in control event, subject to certain conditions. However, Parent and holders of outstanding options covering 14,608,750 option shares and about 40 grants under the 2010 AAG Option Plan agreed to revisions to the stock option award agreements. The revisions effective June 23, 2014, included the following changes:
| a. | The vesting period for unvested time based option shares was extended to annual vesting ratably over 5 years from June 23, 2014; |
| b. | 25% of the option shares designated for performance based vesting in participants’ original grants were revised to time based vesting, with annual vesting ratably over 5 years from June 23, 2014; |
| c. | The performance criteria for the remainder of the performance based option shares was revised to vest based on the company achieving annual EBITDA targets which were designated in the revised grants; and |
| d. | for performance based options shares, if they do not vest under scenario (c) above, the option shares may vest under an alternative vesting criteria that is based on a target return of capital to stockholders. The return of capital target is a scale of 2 to 3 times the stockholders original investment at such time as there is a change of control of the Company’s ownership. |
There have been no vested, time based stock options exercised to date under the 2010 AAG Option Plan and no cash received. The weighted average fair value of time based options granted in 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $0.29, $0.15 and $0.15, respectively.

Under the 2010 AAG Option Plan, performance based options vest subject to a liquidity event (e.g., an initial public offering or change in control, as defined) and based upon the attainment of specified minimum returns on capital to Parent shareholders. Compensation expense on performance based option grants is not recognized until it is probable that the liquidity event will occur. For all periods the Company did not recognize share based compensation expense related to its performance based grants given that the performance condition (a liquidity event) has not occurred in any of those periods.
Because it is not probable that these performance based option grants will vest and no compensation expense is recognized, the Company did not value these grants. At a time in which it becomes probable that the performance option grants will vest the Company will have a valuation performed. At that time, the Company will disclose the total compensation cost in their ending financial statements.

Note 15—Income Taxes (Continued)
The Company’s effective rate for 2014 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to differences in the foreign tax rates when compared to the statutory rate, changes in valuation allowances relating to certain foreign jurisdictions and uncertain tax positions. The effective benefit rate for 2013 differs from the statutory rate primarily due to state taxes. Other items impacting the Company’s effective benefit rate relate primarily to deductible interest expense in the U.K., and adjustments resulting from the filing of the income tax returns.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to be reversed.

The Company periodically reviews its deferred tax assets for recoverability. A valuation allowance is established when the Company believes that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had aggregate foreign net operating losses of approximately $15.1 million, which is comprised of losses of $13.3 million, $1.7 million and $0.1 million in the United Kingdom, China and other foreign jurisdictions, respectively. Losses in the United Kingdom are subject to an indefinite carryforward period; however, due to limitations on the ability to utilize such losses to offset income from only certain members of the United Kingdom group, a full valuation allowance has been provided on such losses. Losses in China have a five year carryforward period and also carry a full valuation allowance.

In connection with the Acquisition, Clorox has agreed to indemnify the Company for any taxes and interest associated with the periods prior to November 4, 2010.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total balance of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions was $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $2.1 million, and $0.9 million, respectively, which would affect the effective tax rate, if recognized. Of the 2014 and 2013 balances above, $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, relates to periods which were included within Clorox tax returns. An offsetting receivable has been recorded in other assets for the Clorox indemnity as of December 31, 2014 and 2013. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had an uncertain tax position of $1.2 million which was offset against a corresponding net operating loss in accordance with ASU2013-11.
The Company is subject to exam by the U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax authorities on its filings since 2011. During 2013, the U.S. federal tax return filed by the Company for 2010 was examined by the IRS, and resulted in no change.
In the twelve months succeeding December 31, 2014, the Company expects total unrecognized tax benefits to change by $0.1 million due to the lapse of statute of limitations on a portion of the unrecognized tax benefit indemnified by Clorox. Audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty.
The Company provides for U.S. income taxes on the earnings of foreign subsidiaries unless the earnings are considered indefinitely invested outside of the U.S. No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes or foreign withholding taxes on $0.8 million of cumulative unremitted earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 due to the Company’s existing tax structure, existing tax law and the Company’s intention to indefinitely reinvest these earnings outside the U.S. The Company determined that the calculation of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these cumulative unremitted earnings was not practicable. If these earnings were distributed to the Company’s U.S. entity, the Company would be subject to additional U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes would be reduced by available foreign tax credits.

The Company’s payment obligations under the Senior Notes are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the Company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility. These guarantees are full and unconditional, subject, in the case of the subsidiary guarantors, to customary release provisions. The Company conducts substantially all of its business through its subsidiaries. In servicing payments to be made on the Senior Notes and other indebtedness, and to satisfy other liquidity requirements, the Company will rely, in large part, on cash flows from these subsidiaries, mainly in the form of dividends, royalties and advances or payments on account of intercompany loan arrangements. The ability of these subsidiaries to make dividend payments to the Company will be affected by, among other factors, the obligations of these entities to their creditors, requirements of corporate and other law, and restrictions contained in agreements entered into by or relating to these entities.
The following supplemental consolidating financial information sets forth, on a combining basis, balance sheets, statements of comprehensive income (loss) and statements of cash flows for the Company, the guarantor subsidiaries, thenon-guarantor subsidiaries and elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Company and its subsidiaries. This information is presented in lieu of separate financial statements and other related disclosures pursuant toRegulation S-XRule 3-10 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, “Financial Statements of Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities Registered or Being Registered.”
The operating and investing activities of the separate legal entities are fully interdependent and integrated. Accordingly, the results of the separate legal entities are not representative of what the operating results would be on a standalone basis.

Note 19—Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited)
The following table presents selected unaudited financial information for the eight quarters in the two year period ended December 31, 2014. The Company’s business is moderately seasonal. Sales are typically higher in the first half of the calendar year as the Company’s customers purchase stock for the spring and summer seasons when weather is warmer in the northern hemisphere than in the fall and winter months. This pattern is largely reflective of our customers’ seasonal purchasing patterns, as well as the timing of our promotional activities. Weather can also influence consumer behavior, especially for appearance products. Our appearance products sell best during warm, dry weather, and sell less strongly if weather is cold and wet. For these reasons, among others, the Company’s results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of future quarterly results and, accordingly,period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance (in thousands).
