Thermon Holding Corp.
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 2010
1. Basis of Presentation
On April 30, 2010, a group of investors led by CHS Capital LLC (f/k/a Code Hennessy & Simmons LLC) (“CHS”) and certain management investors acquired (the “Acquisition”) Thermon Holding Corp. and its subsidiaries (“we”, “us,” “the Company” or “Successor”) from Thermon Holdings, LLC (“Predecessor”) for a purchase price of $320.9 million (subject to finalization of a post-closing income tax adjustment) in a transaction that was financed by approximately $129.2 million of equity investments and $210 million of debt raised in an exempt Rule 144A senior secured note offering to qualified institutional investors. The proceeds from the equity investments and debt financing were used both to finance the acquisition and pay related transa ction costs. As used in this quarterly report, the CHS Transactions refer collectively to the equity investment in us by CHS, our other sponsors and certain members of our management team, the entry into our revolving credit facility, the repayment of amounts owed under, and the termination of, certain then-existing revolving credit and term loan facilities, the issuance of our senior secured notes and the application of the gross proceeds from the offering of our senior secured notes and the equity investment to complete the Acquisition and to pay related fees and expenses of these transactions.
The Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase combination. The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired based on their estimated fair values, with the assistance of an independent third party appraisal received by the Company. Liabilities assumed in the Acquisition were recorded based upon their actual value. The Company’s management ultimately takes responsibility for valuations assigned to the assets and liabilities assumed in connection with the purchase combination. Pushdown accounting was employed to reflect the purchase price paid by our new owners.
In this quarterly report, we have included the condensed consolidated financial statements of Thermon Holding Corp. as of December 31, 2010 and for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2010. Concurrent with the consummation of the CHS Transactions on April 30, 2010, the Predecessor no longer owned any interest in us, and, beginning with the period from May 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, we reported the consolidated financial statements of Thermon Holding Corp. The historical financial and other data prior to the closing of the CHS Transactions on April 30, 2010 have been prepared using the historical results of operations and bases of the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor. Our historical financial data prior to May 1, 2010 may not be indicative of our future performance.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Thermon Holdings, LLC for the year ended March 31, 2010. In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) considered necessary to present fairly our financial position at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, and the results of our operations and the cash flows for the period from May 1 through December 31, 2010, the period from April 1 through April 30, 2010 and the nine month period ended December 31, 2009. Operating results for the period from May 1 through December 31, 2010 and for the period from April 1 through April 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicat ive of the results that may be expected for the full year ending March 31, 2011. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period presentation to conform to the current period presentation. All dollar and share amounts are presented in thousands, unless otherwise noted.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) that amended the accounting rules addressing revenue recognition for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements by eliminating the criterion for objective and reliable evidence of fair value for the undelivered products or services. Instead, revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables should be divided into separate units of accounting provided the deliverables meet certain criteria. Additionally the ASU provides for elimination of the use of the residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables based on their relative selling price. A hierarchy for estimating such selling price is included in the update. This ASU will be

At December 31, 2010, approximately $11,626 of the purchase price was held in escrow to secure the Predecessor’s indemnification obligations in the event of any breaches of representations and warranties contained in the definitive agreements.
The Company allocates the purchase price in connection with the Acquisition to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase price over these fair values is recorded as goodwill. The Company engaged an independent third-party appraisal firm to assist the Company in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. The Company’s management ultimately takes responsibility for valuations assigned to the assets and liabilities assumed in connection with the purchase combination. The significant purchased intangible assets recorded by the Company include trademarks, customer relationships , backlog and developed technology.
Critical estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, without limitation, future expected cash flows from customer relationships, acquired developed technologies and trademarks and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Other estimates associated with the accounting for acquisitions may change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
Acquisition-related transaction costs, such as advisory, legal and other professional fees, are not included as a component of consideration transferred, but are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which costs are incurred. Total advisory, legal and other fees incurred by the Company were approximately $37.3 million, of which $7.7 million was expensed in the period from May 1 through December 31, 2010, $13.9 million was incurred and expensed by the Predecessor in the period from April 1, 2010 through April 30, 2010, and the remainder is being capitalized as debt issuance cost.

Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Secured Notes
Revolving credit facility. Simultaneously with the closing of the Acquisition and the sale of our senior secured notes, our wholly owned subsidiary, Thermon Industries, Inc., entered into a five-year, $40.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, which we refer to as our revolving credit facility, of which up to $20.0 million is available to our Canadian subsidiary, subject to borrowing base availability. Availability of funds under our revolving credit facility is determined by a borrowing base equal to the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 60% of eligible inventory, plus 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of eligible equipment, plus 50% of the fair market value of eligible owned real property. In no case shall availability un der our revolving credit facility exceed the commitments thereunder. As of December 31, 2010, we had $34.8 million of capacity available under our revolving credit facility after taking into account the borrowing base, outstanding loan advances and letters of credit. In addition to our revolving credit facility, we have various short term revolving lines of credit available to us at our foreign affiliates, and no borrowings were outstanding under any such lines of credit at December 31, 2010.
The revolving credit facility will mature in 2015. Any borrowings on our revolving credit facility will incur interest expense that is variable in relation to the LIBOR rate. Borrowings denominated in Canadian Dollars under the Canadian facility bear interest at a variable rate in relation to the bankers’ acceptance rate, as set forth in the revolving credit facility. In addition to paying interest on outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, we are required to pay a 0.75% per annum commitment fee to the lenders in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder and letter of credit fees equal to the LIBOR margin or the bankers’ acceptance rate, as applicable, on the undrawn amount of all outstanding letters of credit. At December 31, 2010, we had no outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Had there been outstanding borrowings, the interest rate on the facility would have been 5.75%.
Senior secured notes. As of December 31, 2010, we had $210.0 million of indebtedness outstanding under our senior secured notes with annual cash interest expense of approximately $20.0 million. Our senior secured notes mature on May 1, 2017 and accrue interest at a fixed rate of 9.500%. We pay interest in cash semi-annually on May and November 1 of each year. Our senior secured notes were issued in a Rule 144A exempt senior secured note offering to qualified institutional investors. The proceeds were used to fund the purchase price for the Acquisition and related transaction costs. In January 2011, we consummated an offer to exchange the old restricted senior secured notes for new, SEC-registered senior secured notes.
Guarantees; security. The obligations under our revolving credit facility and our senior secured notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and each of its existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, other than Thermon Industries, Inc., the issuer of the senior secured notes. The obligations under our revolving credit facility are secured by a first priority perfected security interest in substantially all of our and the guarantors’ assets, subject to certain exceptions, permitted liens and encumbrances reasonably acceptable to the

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
agent under our revolving credit facility. Our senior secured notes and guarantees are also secured by liens on substantially all of our and the guarantors’ assets, subject to certain exceptions; provided, however, that the liens are contractually subordinated to the liens thereon that secure our revolving credit facility.
Restrictive covenants. The revolving credit facility and senior secured notes contain various restrictive covenants that include restrictions or limitations on our ability to: incur additional indebtedness or issue disqualified capital stock unless certain financial tests are satisfied; pay dividends, redeem subordinated debt or make other restricted payments; make certain investments or acquisitions; issue stock of subsidiaries; grant or permit certain liens on our assets; enter into certain transactions with affiliates; merge, consolidate or transfer substantially all of our assets; incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting certain of our subsidiaries; transfer or sell assets, including capital stock of our subsidiaries; and change the business we condu ct. However, all of these covenants are subject to exceptions.
As of December 31, 2010, the aggregate market value of our debt, with a face amount of $210 million, was approximately $224 million. At March 31, 2010, the carrying amounts of long-term debt related to obligations of the former owners approximate their fair values due to their variable rates.
Other Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities with the carrying amounts approximating fair value include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, current debt, accounts payable and other current liabilities.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
At December 31, 2010, the Company had in place letter of credit guarantees from banks securing performance obligations of the Company. These arrangements totaled approximately $5,505 and related to certain sales contracts and local lines of credit for which $2,449 is secured by cash deposits. Included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, was approximately $2,449 and $2,066, respectively, of cash deposits pledged as collateral on performance bonds and letters of credit.
The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of doing business and believes that adequate reserves have been established for any probable losses. Expenses related to litigation are included in operating income. We do not believe that the outcome of any of these proceedings would have a significant adverse effect on our financial position, long-term results of operations, or cash flows. It is possible, however, that charges related to these matters could be significant to our results or cash flows in any one accounting period.
The Company has no outstanding legal matters outside of matters arising in the ordinary course of business, except as described below.
Asbestos Litigation—Since 1999, we have been named as one of many defendants in 16 personal injury suits alleging exposure to asbestos from our products. None of the cases alleges premises liability. Six cases are currently pending. Insurers are defending us in three of the six lawsuits, and we expect that an insurer will defend us in the remaining three matters. Of the concluded suits, there were five cost of defense settlements and the remainder were dismissed without payment. There are no claims unrelated to asbestos exposure for which coverage has been sought under the policies that are providing coverage.
Indian Sales Tax and Customs Disputes—Our Indian subsidiary is currently disputing assessments of administrative sales tax and customs duties with Indian tax and customs authorities. In addition, we currently have a customs duty case before the Supreme Court in India, on appeal by custom authorities. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had not recorded any contingent liability in the condensed consolidated financial statements relating to this matter.
We can give no assurances we will prevail in any of these matters.

12. Shareholder’s Equity/Members’ Equity
We have 100,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock issued and outstanding. All of our outstanding shares of common stock are held by our parent entity, Thermon Group, Inc.
13. Stock-Based Compensation Expense
On October 20, 2010 and October 27, 2010, our board of directors granted employees options to purchase 13,761 shares of our common stock, each with an exercise price of $1,000 per share, pursuant to the terms of our existing restricted stock and stock option plan. The options are for the purchase of shares of common stock of our ultimate parent entity, Thermon Group Holdings, Inc. All such options become eligible for vesting in five equal tranches, with the portion of each tranche that vests determined by the board of directors based on the attainment of annual performance objectives established by the board of directors. Accordingly, the Company will estimate the likelihood of vesting based on its periodic performance. Any portion of the shares eligible for vesting that do not vest based on the attainment of such performance objectives shall be added to the number of shares eligible to vest on the next scheduled vesting date, subject to the participant’s continuous employment. All shares subject to such options shall vest on the seventh anniversary of the grant date if the participant remains continuously employed by us and our outstanding equity securities attain a specified fair value as of such vesting date. Pursuant to the outstanding stock option agreements, we have the right to repurchase any shares acquired on exercise of the option at fair market value following termination of the optionee’s employment for death, disability or termination without cause. For all other termination events, we have the right to repurchase the shares acquired on exercise of the option at the lower of fair market value or the exercise price. Fair market value is determined by our board of directors in good faith.
The Company determined that vesting in fiscal year 2011 was likely and therefore recorded its initial stock-based compensation expense of $685 during the three months ended December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the estimated unrecognized stock compensation expense for the remainder of fiscal 2011 will be $622. To arrive at this estimate, the Company used a Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the options granted. Due to the fact that the common stock underlying the options is not publicly traded, the expected volatility is based on a comparable group of companies. The expected term is based on the simplified method due to the lack of historical exercise data. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the Treasury bi ll coupon rate for U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity that approximates the expected term. We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, and accordingly we used a dividend yield of zero. The estimated fair value of the underlying stock at time of grant was $1,000 per share. By using an estimated volatility of 45%, life of option of 6.66 years, risk free rate of 2.02% and no dividend assumption, the weighted-average estimated grant date fair value for employee stock options granted was $476.33 per share during the three and eight months ended December 31, 2010. No stock options were granted in a prior period presented.
As indicated in Note 17. Subsequent Event, our ultimate parent entity, Thermon Group Holdings, Inc., has indicated that it is pursuing an initial public offering. Pursuant to the outstanding stock option agreements, all
11
Thermon Holding Corp.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
outstanding option awards shall vest and become exercisable immediately prior to an initial public offering. In the event that the offering is completed, we will record stock-based compensation expense for all unvested outstanding option awards in the period in which the offering is completed.
During the three months ended December 31, 2010, Thermon Group Holdings, Inc., issued 50 shares of common stock to an employee of one of our foreign subsidiaries under our restricted stock and stock option plan. The fair value of the stock at the time of the award was $1,000 per share. Accordingly, we recorded stock-based compensation expense of $50,000.
14. Miscellaneous Income (Expense)

15. Income Taxes
Our anticipated annual effective tax rate of approximately (3.9%) has been applied to our consolidated pre-tax loss for the period from May 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010. This tax rate is less than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the amount of buyer’s expenses incurred in connection with the CHS Transactions that is estimated to be nondeductible, valuation reserves taken against our anticipated foreign tax credit and other carryforwards for U. S. taxation purposes, and differences between foreign and U.S. tax rates. For the period from April 1 through April 30, 2010 of the Predecessor, an income tax benefit of approximately $17,434 was recorded as a pre-tax loss. In connection with the CHS Transactions, the Canadian debt facility was repaid releasing a deferred tax liability of $14,945. Without the be nefit of the deferred tax reversal related to the Canadian debt facility, the benefit rate amounted to approximately 14.1%. This benefit rate was increased by foreign tax credits and exchange losses associated with repatriated earnings and decreased by the amount of sellers’ expense stemming from the CHS Transactions that is anticipated to be non-deductible.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2009 of the Predecessor, the anticipated annual effective tax rate applied to pre-tax income was approximately 45.6%. The effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. statutory rate due to the borrowings that were outstanding under the Canadian debt facility.
During the three and eight months ended December 31, 2010, we established a long-term liability for
12
Thermon Holding Corp.
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
uncertain tax positions in the amount of $1,225 in connection with the CHS Transactions to account for the differences in recognition thresholds and attribute measurement for purposes of financial statement disclosure as compared to tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. All of our unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2010 would affect our effective income tax rate if recognized. The nature of the uncertainty relates to deductions taken or to be taken on tax returns that have not been examined by the applicable tax authority. There was no difference between the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefit for the period from May 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010.
16. Geographic Information
We have defined our operating segment based on geographic regions. We sell our products in two geographic regions. Our sales in these regions share similar economic characteristics, similar product mix, similar customers and similar distribution methods. Accordingly we have elected to aggregate these two geographic regions into a single operating segment. Revenue from the sale of our products which are similar in nature and revenue from construction and engineering are reflected as sales in our consolidated statement of operations.
Within its operating segment, the Company has provided further detail for those countries or regions that generate significant revenue and operating income. For purposes of this note, revenue is attributed to individual countries on the basis of the physical location and jurisdiction of organization of the subsidiary that invoices the material and services.
Total sales and operating income classified by major geographic area in which the Company operates are as follows:

Item 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction and Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is provided as a supplement to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, changes in our financial condition and results of our operations. In this quarterly report, we refer to the three month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 as Interim 2011 and Interim 2010, respectively, and the nine month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are referred to as YTD 2011 and YTD 2010, respectively. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our condensed consolidated financial statements and relat ed notes included above.
The discussion in this section includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws in addition to historical information. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our industry, business strategy, plans, goals and expectations concerning our market position, future operations, margins, profitability, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources and other financial and operating information. When used in this discussion, the words “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “budget,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “ will,” “future” and similar terms and phrases are intended to identify forward-looking statements in this quarterly report.
Forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations regarding future events, results or outcomes. These expectations may or may not be realized. Some of these expectations may be based upon assumptions, data or judgments that prove to be incorrect. In addition, our business and operations involve numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which could result in our expectations not being realized or otherwise materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Actual events, results and outcomes may differ materially from our expectations due to a variety of factors. Although it is not possible to identify all of these factors, they include, among others, (i) general economic conditions and cyclicality in the markets we serve; (ii) future growth of energy and chemical processing capital investments; (iii) changes in relevant currency exchange rates; (iv) our ability to comply with the complex and dynamic system of laws and regulations applicable to international operations; (v) a material disruption at any of our manufacturing facilities; (vi) our dependence on subcontractors and suppliers; (vii) our ability to obtain standby letters of credit, bank guarantees or performance bonds required to bid on or secure certain customer contracts; (viii) competi tion from various other sources providing similar heat tracing products and services, or other alternative technologies, to customers; (ix) our ability to attract and retain qualified management and employees, particularly in our overseas markets; (x) our ability to continue to generate sufficient cash flow to satisfy our liquidity needs; (xi) the extent to which federal, state, local and foreign governmental regulation of energy, chemical processing and power generation products and services limits or prohibits the operation of our business; and (xii) other factors discussed in more detail under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 13, 2010. Any one of these factors or a combination of these factors could materially affect our future results of operations and could influence whether any forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly re port ultimately prove to be accurate.
Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results and future performance may differ materially from those suggested in any forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update these statements unless we are required to do so under applicable securities laws.
We are one of the largest providers of highly engineered thermal solutions for process industries. For over 50 years, we have served a diverse base of thousands of customers around the world in attractive and growing markets, including energy, chemical processing and power generation. We are a global leader and one of the few thermal solutions providers with a global footprint and a full suite of products and services required to deliver comprehensive solutions to complex projects. We serve our customers locally through a global network of sales and
24
service professionals and distributors in more than 30 countries and through our four manufacturing facilities on three continents. These global capabilities and longstanding relationships with some of the largest multinational energy, chemical processing, power and EPC companies in the world have enabled us to diversify our revenue streams and opportunistically access high growth markets worldwide. For the nine months ended December 31, 2010, 71% of our revenues were generated outside of the United States.
Revenue. Our revenues are derived from providing customers with a full suite of innovative and reliable heat tracing solutions, including electric and steam heat tracing, tubing bundles, control systems, design optimization, engineering services and installation services. Our sales are primarily to industrial customers for petroleum and chemical plants, oil and gas production facilities and power generation facilities. Demand for industrial heat tracing solutions falls into two categories: (i) new facility construction, which we refer to as Greenfield projects, and (ii) recurring maintenance, repair and operations and facility upgrades or expansions, which we refer to as MRO/UE. Greenfield construction projects often require comprehensive heat tracing solutions. We believe that Greenfield revenue consists of sales revenues by customer in excess of $1 million annually (excluding sales to agents, who typically resell our products to multiple customers), and typically includes most orders for projects related to facilities that are new or that are built independent of existing facilities. We refer to sales revenues by customer of less than $1 million annually, which we believe are typically derived from MRO/UE, as MRO/UE revenue. Based on our experience, we believe that $1 million in annual sales is an appropriate threshold for distinguishing between Greenfield revenue and MRO/UE revenue. However, we often sell our products to intermediaries or subcontract our services; accordingly, we have limited visibility into how our products or services may ultimately be used and can provide no assurance that our categorization may accurately reflect the sources of such revenue. Furthermore, our customers do not typically enter into long-ter m forward maintenance contracts with us. In any given year, certain of our smaller Greenfield projects may generate less than $1 million in annual sales, and certain of our larger plant expansions or upgrades may generate in excess of $1 million in annual sales, though we believe that such exceptions are few in number and insignificant to our overall results of operations.
Cost of sales. Our cost of revenues includes primarily the cost of raw material items used in the manufacture of our products, cost of ancillary products that are sourced from external suppliers and construction labor cost. Additional costs of revenue include contract engineering cost directly associated to projects, direct labor cost, external sales commissions, and other costs associated with our manufacturing/fabrication shops. The other costs associated with our manufacturing/fabrication shops are mainly indirect production costs, including depreciation, indirect labor costs, and the costs of manufacturing support functions such as logistics and quality assurance. Key raw material costs include polymers, copper, stainless steel, insulating mater ial, and other miscellaneous parts related to products manufactured or assembled as part of our heat tracing solutions. Historically, the costs of our primary raw materials have been stable and readily available from multiple suppliers, and we have been generally successful with passing along raw material cost increases to our customers. Therefore, increases in the cost of key raw materials of our products have not generally affected our gross margins. We cannot provide any assurance, however, that we may be able to pass along such cost increases to our customers in the future, and if we are unable to do so, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
Operating expenses. Our marketing, general and administrative and engineering expenses are primarily comprised of compensation and related costs for sales, marketing, pre-sales engineering and administrative personnel, as well as other sales related expenses and other costs related to research and development, insurance, professional fees, the global integrated business information system, provisions for bad debts and warranty.
Key drivers affecting our results of operations. Our results of operations and financial condition are affected by numerous factors, including those described under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on December 13, 2010 and elsewhere in this quarterly report and those described below:
• | Timing of Greenfield projects. Our results of operations in recent years have been impacted by the various construction phases of large Greenfield projects. On very large projects, we are typically designated as the heat tracing provider of choice by the project owner. We then engage with multiple contractors to address incorporating various heat tracing solutions throughout the overall project. Our largest Greenfield projects may generate revenue for several quarters. In the early stages of a Greenfield project, our revenues are typically realized from the provision of engineering services. In |
25
the middle stages, or the material requirements phase, we typically experience the greatest demand for our heat tracing cable, at which point our revenues tend to accelerate. Revenues tend to decrease gradually in the final stages of a project and are generally derived from installation services and demand for electrical panels and other miscellaneous electronic components used in the final installation of heat tracing cable, which we frequently outsource from third-party manufacturers. We tend to experience higher margins in the middle stages of a Greenfield project, when the demand for our manufactured products is at its highest. By contrast, we tend to experience lower margins in the beginning and final stages of a Greenfield project, when demand is highest for our lower margin engineering and installation services and outsourced electronic components. |
• | Cyclicality of end-users’ markets. Demand for our products and services depends in large part upon the level of capital and maintenance expenditures of our customers and end users, in particular those in the energy, chemical processing and power generation industries, and firms that design and construct facilities for these industries. These customers’ expenditures historically have been cyclical in nature and vulnerable to economic downturns. Greenfield projects, and in particular large Greenfield projects (i.e., new facility construction projects generating in excess of $5 million in annual sales), have been a substantial source of revenue growth in recent years, and Greenfield revenues tend to be more cyclical than MRO/UE revenues. In recent years we have noted particul ar cyclicality in capital spending for new facilities in Asia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East. A sustained decrease in capital and maintenance spending or in new facility construction by our customers could have a material adverse effect on the demand for our products and services and our business, financial condition and results of operations. |
• | Impact of product mix. As a comprehensive provider of heat tracing solutions, we provide both our products and services to both Greenfield and MRO/UE customers. We tend to experience lower margins from our design optimization, engineering, installation and maintenance services than we do from sales of our heating cable, tubing bundle and control system products. We also tend to experience lower margins from our outsourced products, such as electrical switch gears and transformers, than we do from our manufactured products. Accordingly, our results of operations are impacted by our mix of products and services. For MRO/UE orders, the sale of our manufactured products typically represents a higher proportion of the overall revenues associated with such order than the provision of our services. Greenfield projects, on the other hand, require a high er level of our services than MRO/UE orders. Therefore, we typically realize higher margins from MRO/UE revenues than Greenfield revenues. |
• | Large and growing installed base. Customers typically use the incumbent heat tracing provider for MRO/UE projects to avoid complications and compatibility problems associated with switching providers. Therefore, with the significant Greenfield activity we have experienced in recent years, our installed base has continued to grow, and we expect that such installed base will continue to generate ongoing high margin MRO/UE revenues. For fiscal 2010, MRO/UE sales comprised approximately 60% of our consolidated revenues. |
• | Seasonality of MRO/UE revenues. Revenues realized from MRO/UE orders tend to be less cyclical than Greenfield projects and more consistent quarter over quarter, although MRO/UE revenues are impacted by seasonal factors. MRO/UE revenues are typically highest during the third fiscal quarter, as most of our customers perform preventative maintenance prior to the winter season. |
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. Our critical accounting policies are those that materially affect our financial statements and involve difficult, subjective or complex judgments by management. Our most significant financial statement estimates include revenue recognition, allowances for bad debts, warranty reserves, inventory reserves and potential litigation claims and settlements.
26
Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that may impact the company in the future, actual results may be materially different from the estimates.
Revenue recognition. Revenues from sales of products are recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable.
Construction contract revenues are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, primarily based on contract costs incurred to date compared with total estimated contract costs. Changes to total estimated contract costs or losses, if any, are recognized in the period they are determined. Revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed are classified as costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts. Essentially all of such amounts are expected to be billed and collected within one year and are classified as current assets. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are classified as current liabilities. When reasonably dependable estimates cannot be made, construction contract revenues are recognized using the completed contract method.
Estimating allowances, specifically the allowance for doubtful accounts and the adjustment for excess and obsolete inventories. We make estimates about the uncollectability of our accounts receivable. We specifically analyze accounts receivable, historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit-worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts. Our allowance for doubtful accounts was $1.3 million and $1.8 million at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. We also write down our inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and estimated fair value based on assumptions of future demand and market conditions. Our allowance for excess and obsolete inventories was $1.5 million and $1.2 million at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. Our allowance for the warranty on our sold products and installations was $1.0 million and $0.7 million at December 31, 2010 and March 31, 2010, respectively. Significant judgments and estimates must be made and used in connection with establishing these allowances. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our bad debt and inventory obsolescence if we made different judgments or utilized different estimates or if actual results varied materially from our estimates.
Valuation of long-lived, goodwill and other intangible assets. Separable intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives. Goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are reviewed for impairment annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. In making this assessment, management relies on a number of factors including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, transactions and market place data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. GAAP requires that “push down” accounting be applied for wholly owned subsidiaries if the ownership is 95 percent or more. In connection with the CHS Transactions, goodwill has been allocated to our entities in the United States, Canada and Europe accordingly. As such, we have identified three reporting units: United States, Canada and Europe, for goodwill impairment testing, which are at a level below our one operating segment. Factors considered important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
• | significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating results; |
• | significant changes in the manner of our use of the acquired assets or the strategy for our overall business; and |
• | significant negative industry or economic trends. |
When it is determined that the carrying value of intangibles, long-lived assets and related goodwill may not be recoverable based upon the existence of one or more of the above indicators of impairment, the measurement of any impairment is determined and the carrying value is reduced as appropriate. As of December 31, 2010, we had goodwill of approximately $116.6million, including the impact of the CHS Transactions. There have been no impairments of goodwill during the nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
Business combinations. We allocate the purchase price in connection with the CHS Transactions to the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The
27
excess of the purchase price over these fair values is recorded as goodwill. We engage independent third-party appraisal firms to assist us in determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Such valuations require management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to intangible assets. The significant purchased intangible assets recorded by us include trademarks, customer relationships, backlog and developed technology. The fair values assigned to the identified intangible assets are discussed in detail in Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.
Critical estimates in valuing certain intangible assets include, without limitation, future expected cash flows from customer relationships, acquired developed technologies and trademarks and discount rates. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable and, as a result, actual results may differ from estimates. Other estimates associated with the accounting for acquisitions may change as additional information becomes available regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as more fully discussed in Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this quarterly report.
Accounting for income taxes. We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Variations in the actual outcome of these future tax consequences could materially impact our financial position or our results of operations. In estimating future tax consequences, all expected future events are considered other than enactments of changes in tax laws or rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts which are more likely than not to be realized. We expect to establish a valuation allowance in the 2011 fiscal year, as we expect a comparable amount of foreign taxes paid on repatriated earnings will not be currently recoverable against U.S. income taxes, and future recoverability is not reasonably assured at this time
Loss contingencies. We accrue for probable losses from contingencies including legal defense costs, on an undiscounted basis, when such costs are considered probable of being incurred and are reasonably estimable. We periodically evaluate available information, both internal and external, relative to such contingencies and adjust this accrual as necessary. Disclosure of a contingency is required if there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss has been incurred. In determining whether a loss should be accrued we evaluate, among other factors, the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. Changes in these factors could materially impact our financial position or our r esults of operation. In the nine months ended December 31, 2010, we reduced our reserve for compliance costs from $0.7 million to $0.1 million due to the settlement with OAC of allegations that certain of our subsidiaries had committed apparent violations of antiboycott laws.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including estimating expected volatility. In addition, judgment is also required in estimating the amount of stock-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be impacted. See “Note 13. Stock-Based Compensation Expense” to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included above in Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited) of this quarterly report for information on stock-based compensation expense, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.
Seasonality
Our quarterly revenues are impacted by the level of large Greenfield projects that may be occurring at any given time. Demand for our products depends in large part upon the level of capital and maintenance expenditures by many of our customers and end users, in particular those customers in the oil and gas, refining, and chemical processing markets. These customers’ expenditures historically have been cyclical in nature and vulnerable to economic downturns.
28
Our operating expenses remain relatively consistent with some variability related to overall headcount of the company which increased slightly in the year ended December 31, 2010. Fluctuations in operating expense are partly due to changes in management’s estimates for items such annual bonus attainment and reserves for bad debt.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate based on the cyclical pattern of industries to which we provide heat tracing solutions and the seasonality of MRO/UE demand for our products. Most of our customers perform preventative maintenance prior to the winter season, thus in our experience making the months of October and November typically our largest for MRO/UE revenue. However, revenues from Greenfield projects are not seasonal and tend to be level throughout the year, depending on the capital spending environment. Overall, seasonality has a minor effect on the company’s business.

________________
(1) | The closing of the Acquisition on April 30, 2010 established a new basis of accounting that primarily affected inventory, intangible assets, goodwill, taxes, debt and equity. This resulted in additional amortization expense, interest expense and tax expense for the period from May 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 (“Successor”) as compared to the period from April 1, 2010 through April 30, 2010 (“Predecessor”). Except for purchase accounting adjustments, the results for the two combined periods are comparable. Therefore, we believe that combining the two periods into a single period for comparative purposes gives the most clarity for the users of this financial information. Please refer to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 appearing ab ove for a separate presentation of the results for the Predecessor and Successor periods in accordance with GAAP. |
(2) | In the nine months ended December 31, 2010, there was a non-cash negative impact of $7.5 million to cost of sales and, consequently, gross profit due to a purchase accounting adjustment related to the Acquisition. |
29
(3) | Interest expense for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010 of $5.6 million and $23.3 million, respectively, included increased interest and amortization related to the CHS Transactions, including interest expense on our revolving credit facility and our senior secured notes issued on April 30, 2010 to finance in part the Acquisition, as well as $2.0 million of unused bridge loan fee amortization, $3.1 million of prepayment fees and $2.6 million of accelerated amortization of the deferred debt costs associated with the repaid debt. |
(4) | Miscellaneous income (expense) for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 of $21.3 million consisted primarily of $21.6 million of non-recurring expenses related to the CHS Transactions, partially offset by $0.6 million of income related to the reversal of our compliance reserve. |
Three Months Ended December 31, 2010 (Successor) (“Interim 2011”) Compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2009 (Predecessor) (“Interim 2010”)
Revenues. Revenues for Interim 2011 were $64.9 million, compared to $47.3 million for Interim 2010, an increase of $17.6 million or 37.2%. The increase in revenue is attributable to revenue growth within all geographic regions as well as growth in both MRO/UE and Greenfield projects. In particular, $8.5 million of the increase in total revenues was due to significant large Greenfield project activity in Interim 2011 as compared to Interim 2010. We consider new facility construction projects generating in excess of $5 million in annual sales to be “large” Greenfield projects. We experienced significant activity in Interim 2011 with ongoing large Greenfield projects in Canada. The balance of the increase in total revenues was comprised of smaller Greenfield project and MRO/UE revenues. The comparative period increase was also reflective of relatively low large project revenue in the Interim 2010 period.
Gross profit and margin. Gross profit totaled $29.6 million in Interim 2011, compared to $23.2 million in Interim 2010, an increase of $6.4 million. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit decreased to 45.6% in Interim 2011 from 49.0% in Interim 2010. Our gross margins are impacted by the product mix between Greenfield projects and MRO/UE sales, with Greenfield sales generating lower margins as compared to MRO/UE sales. Gross margin of 45.6% in Interim 2011 is in line with our expected range of gross margins based on our historical results. The decrease in gross margin in Interim 2011 is mostly due to large Greenfield projects accounting for a greater percentage of our total gross profit in Interim 2011 as compared to Interim 2010. Additiona lly, Interim 2010 had a larger mix of MRO/UE revenue due to relatively smaller overall Greenfield sales in that period.
Marketing, general and administrative and engineering. Marketing, general and administrative and engineering costs were $14.7 million for Interim 2011, compared to $12.5 million in Interim 2010, an increase of $2.2 million or 17.2%. The increase is primarily related to an increase in expenses to address personnel needs to meet growing customer demand. The expenses contributing to this increase include $1.3 million in increased incentive compensation as well as an increase in salaries and benefits of $1.9 million for staffing to meet the demands of growth. These increases were offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in accruals related to bad debt reserves. As a percentage of revenues, marketing, general and administrative and engineering expenses decreased to 22.6% in Interim 2011 from 26.5% in Interim 2010.
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $3.7 million in Interim 2011, compared to $0.6 million in Interim 2010, an increase of $3.1 million, due to the amortization of certain intangible assets associated with the CHS Transactions.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $5.6 million in Interim 2011, compared to $1.9 million in Interim 2010, an increase of $3.7 million. This was partially due to the higher levels of indebtedness incurred in the CHS Transactions and, to a lesser extent, the higher interest rates on the 9.5% senior secured notes, which increased our monthly interest expense by approximately $1.2 million. The interest expense in Interim 2011 includes amortization of debt issuance costs of $0.5 million.
Miscellaneous expense. Miscellaneous expense was $1.0 million in Interim 2011, compared to miscellaneous expense of $0.6 million in Interim 2010, an increase of $0.4 million. Miscellaneous expense in Interim 2011 consisted primarily of CHS Transaction expenses of $0.8 million, and miscellaneous expense in
30
Interim 2010 consisted primarily of unsuccessful transaction expenses of $0.5 million. These related to preliminary negotiations with parties prior to the CHS Transaction.
Income taxes. Income taxes were $1.6 million in Interim 2011, compared to a $3.4 million tax expense in Interim 2010, a reduction of $1.8 million. The effective tax rates were 34.6% in Interim 2011 and 44.8% in Interim 2010. Our anticipated annual effective tax rate of approximately (3.9%) has been applied to our consolidated pre-tax loss for the period from May 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010. This tax rate is less than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the amount of buyer’s expenses incurred in connection with the CHS Transactions that is estimated to be nondeductible, valuation reserves taken against our anticipated foreign tax credit and other carryforwards for U. S. taxation purposes, and differences between foreign and U.S. tax rates. See Note 15, Income Taxes, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2010, included elsewhere in this quarterly report, for further detail on income taxes.
Net income. Net income was $3.0 million in Interim 2011 as compared to $4.2 million in Interim 2010, a decrease of $1.2 million or 28.0%. While gross profit contributed an additional $6.4 million to net income as compared to Interim 2010, this was offset by increases in amortization of intangibles and interest expense as a result of the CHS Transactions. Due to the CHS Transactions in Interim 2011, amortization of intangible assets increased $3.1 million over the same period in the prior year. In addition, interest expense increased $3.7 million over the Interim 2010 period and marketing general and administrative expenses were $2.2 million higher in Interim 2011. Due to lower net income, income tax was also lower by $1.8 milli on.
Nine Months Ended December 31, 2010 (Predecessor/Successor Combined) (“YTD 2011”) Compared to the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2009 (Predecessor) (“YTD 2010”) (Non-GAAP)
Note regarding discussion of combined results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. The closing of the CHS Transactions on April 30, 2010 established a new basis of accounting that primarily affected inventory, intangible assets, goodwill, taxes, debt and equity. This resulted in additional amortization expense, interest expense and tax expense for the period from May 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 (“Successor”) as compared to the period from April 1, 2010 through April 30, 2010 (“Predecessor”). Except for purchase accounting adjustments, the results for the two combined periods are comparable. Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial stat ements and accompanying notes thereto for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 appearing above include a separate presentation of the results for the Predecessor and Successor periods. The following table includes a combined presentation of the results for the Predecessor and Successor periods, and the discussion of our results of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2009 that immediately follows the table is based on the combined results for the Predecessor and Successor owners for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.
We have presented a discussion of the results for these combined periods because it provides an easier-to-read discussion of the results of operations and provides the investor with information from which to analyze our financial results in a manner that is consistent with the way management reviews and analyzes our results of operations. In addition, the discussion of the combined results provides investors with the most meaningful comparison between our results for prior and future periods.

(2) | Miscellaneous expense and success fees paid to owners related to the CHS Transaction combined for $21.3 million in expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, which consisted primarily of $21.3 million of non-recurring expenses related to the CHS Transactions, and was offset in part by $1 million of income related to the reversal of our compliance reserve. |
Revenues. Revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 combined (“YTD 2011”) were $179.0 million, compared to $142.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 (“YTD 2010”), an increase of $36.1 million or 25.2%, mostly due to an increase in large Greenfield project activity in YTD 2011, which
32
accounted for $23.1 million of the increase. Separately, revenues increased in all geographies in which we operate during YTD 2011, with revenue in Canada accounting for $18.3 million of the increase.
Gross profit and margin. Gross profit totaled $73.7 million in YTD 2011, compared to $68.9 million in YTD 2010, an increase of $4.8 million. As a percentage of revenues, gross profit decreased to 41.2% in YTD 2011 from 48.2% in YTD 2010. In YTD 2011 there was a non-cash $7.5 million negative impact to gross profit due to a purchase accounting adjustment related to the CHS Transactions. Under purchase accounting rules, inventories that were carried at lower of cost or market are stepped up to fair value, which eliminates gross profit in the period in which the units are sold. Excluding the purchase accounting adjustment, gross margin would have been 45.4% in YTD 2011. In addit ion, YTD 2010 gross margin was positively affected by a $1.8 million favorable adjustment related to the release of contingencies on long-term projects in Russia. After taking into account this adjustment, gross margin would have been 47.0% in YTD 2010. Adjusted gross margin decreased marginally by 1.6% in YTD 2011 as compared to YTD 2010. These adjusted gross margins of 45.4% and 47.0% for YTD 2011 and YTD 2010, respectively, are within our expected normalized range of gross margins based on our historical results. The slightly lower gross margin in YTD 2011 is reflective of a larger proportion of Greenfield sales which carry an overall lower gross margin than MRO/UE sales.
Marketing, general and administrative and engineering. Marketing, general and administrative and engineering costs were $41.5 million in YTD 2011, compared to $33.8 million in YTD 2010, an increase of $7.7 million or 22.9%. The overall increase is primarily related to an increase in expenses to address personnel needs to meet growing customer demand. The expenses contributing to this increase include $2.9 million in increased incentive compensation as well as an increase in salaries and benefits of $3.8 million. In addition, there is an increase of $0.8 million in professional fees associated with SEC reporting and administration requirements. As a percentage of revenues, marketing, general and administr ative and engineering expenses decreased to 23.2% in YTD 2011 from 23.6% in YTD 2010.
Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets was $15.3 million in YTD 2011, compared to $1.8 million in YTD 2010, an increase of $13.5 million, due to the amortization of certain intangible assets associated with the CHS Transactions.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $23.3 million in YTD 2011, compared to $5.6 million in YTD 2010, an increase of $17.7 million. This was partially due to the higher levels of indebtedness incurred in the CHS Transactions and, to a lesser extent, the higher interest rates on the 9.5% senior secured notes, which increased our monthly interest expense by approximately $1.2 million. The one-time financing costs included $2.0 million in full amortization of our bridge loan fee, $2.6 million in accelerated amortization of deferred debt costs associated with repaid debt and $3.1 million in prepayment penalties.
Miscellaneous expense. Miscellaneous expense was $13.6 million in YTD 2011, compared to miscellaneous expense of $0.9 million in YTD 2010, an increase of $12.7 million. Miscellaneous expenses in YTD 2011 consisted primarily of $9.5 million of professional fees and expenses related to the CHS Transactions, $0.6 million income related to adjustment of compliance liabilities and foreign exchange transaction gains and other miscellaneous income of $0.9 million. Miscellaneous expense in YTD 2010 consisted primarily of nominal charges for professional fees and expenses related to a proposed sale and other extraordinary corporate transactions and foreign exchange transaction losses offset by a small gain in sales of fixed assets.
Income taxes. Income taxes were a benefit of $16.5 million in YTD 2011, compared to $12.2 million tax expense in YTD 2010, a decrease of $28.7 million from YTD 2010. The effective tax rates were (59.5%) in YTD 2011 and 45.4% in YTD 2010. Our anticipated annual effective tax rate of approximately (3.9%) has been applied to our consolidated pre-tax loss for the period from May 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010. This tax rate is less than the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the amount of buyer’s expenses incurred in connection with the CHS Transactions that is estimated to be nondeductible, valuation reserves taken against our anticipated foreign tax credit and other carryforwards for U. S. taxation purposes, and differences between for eign and U.S. tax rates. See Note 15, Income Taxes, to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended December 31, 2010, included elsewhere in this quarterly report, for further detail on income taxes.
33
Net income. Net loss was $11.2 million in YTD 2011 as compared to net income of $14.7 million in YTD 2010, a decrease of $25.9 million. The primary reason for the decrease in net income was as a result of the CHS Transactions. Because of the CHS Transactions in YTD 2011, amortization of intangible assets increased $21.0 million (including $7.5 million in purchase accounting adjustments negatively affecting cost of sales) over the same period in the prior year. In addition, interest expense increased $17.8 million over the prior period. During YTD 2011, we also incurred $21.6 million in transaction costs directly related to the CHS Transactions. These charges to income represent a total of $60.4 million (before tax) offset by a decrease in tax expense of $28.7 million due to the tax benefit of $16.5 million recorded in YTD 2011 and increase in gross profit of $4.8 million due to higher sales.

Contingencies. For a discussion of contingencies that may impact us, see Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements, contained elsewhere in this quarterly report. To bid on or secure certain contracts, we are required at times to provide a performance guaranty to our customers in the form of a surety bond, standby letter of credit or foreign bank guaranty. On December 31, 2010, we had in place standby letters of credit and bank guarantees totaling $5.5 million and performance bonds totaling $3.0 million to back performance obligations under customer contracts. As of December 31, 2010, we also had in place a $0.3 million letter of credit as collateral for the revolving facility for our subsidiary in Japan. Our Indian subsidiary also has $2.9 million in cu stoms bonds outstanding.
34
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations and funds available under our revolving credit facility and other revolving lines of credit. Our primary liquidity needs are to finance our working capital, capital expenditures and debt service needs.
Cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2010, we had $35.0 million in cash and cash equivalents. We maintain cash and cash equivalents at various financial institutions located in many countries throughout the world. Approximately $5.4 million, or 15%, of these amounts was held in domestic accounts with various institutions and approximately $29.6 million, or 85%, of these amounts was held in accounts outside of the United States with various financial institutions.
Revolving credit facility and senior secured notes.
See “Note 10. Long-Term Debt–Revolving Credit Facility and Senior Secured Notes” to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included above in Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited) of this quarterly report for information on our revolving credit facility and senior secured notes, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.
Repatriation considerations. A substantial portion of our cash flows are generated by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. In general, when an entity in a foreign jurisdiction repatriates cash to the United States, the amount of such cash is treated as a dividend taxable at current U.S. tax rates. Accordingly, upon the distribution of cash to us from our non-U.S. subsidiaries, we will be subject to U.S. income taxes. Although foreign tax credits may be available to reduce the amount of the additional tax liability, these credits may be limited based on our tax attributes. To the extent that we must use cash generated in foreign jurisdictions to service our debt obligations, the potential cost associated with repatriating the cash to the United States could adversely affect our ability to meet our liquidity needs.
Future capital requirements. Based on our current level of operations, we believe that cash flow from operations and available cash, together with available borrowings under our revolving credit facility, will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs for the next 12 months. We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowing will be available to us in an amount sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness, including the senior secured notes or our revolving credit facility, or to fund our other liquidity needs. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as a change of control, we could be required to repay or refinance our indebtedness. We cannot assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including the senior secured notes or our revolving credit facility, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, we are expecting $2.0 million of capital expenditures for furniture and fixture replacements, minor plant equipment replacement and minor maintenance. In fiscal 2012, we anticipate the construction of a new manufacturing building in San Marcos, Texas, which we expect will significantly increase our production capacity at that location. We estimate that approximately $5.0 million in capital expenditures will be incurred during fiscal 2012 in connection with such expansion.
Nine Months Ended December 31, 2010 (Predecessor/Successor Combined) (“YTD 2011”) Compared to the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2009 (Predecessor) (“YTD 2010”) (Non-GAAP)
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $19.7 million for the combined YTD 2011 period, compared to $23.2 million for YTD 2010. The decrease in cash flows from operating activities in YTD 2011 compared with YTD 2010 was due in large part to expenses related to the CHS Transactions. Cash flows from operations were also negatively impacted from an increase in encumbered cash pledged as collateral for letters of credit and bank guarantees as well as an increase in accounts receivable related to an increase in days of sales outstanding. Cash flows for YTD 2011 were positively impacted by the prepayment of $10.2 million for our products by one of our customers. We expect to deliver these products in the next six months.
35
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $320.7 million for YTD 2011 compared to $1.0 million for YTD 2010. The significant change in cash flows used in investing activities was due to the CHS Transactions. Investing activities in YTD 2011 consisted of $1.3 million of capital expenditures and the CHS Transactions. Investing activities in YTD 2010 consisted of $1.0 million of capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $308.1 million for YTD 2011, compared to $8.6 million used in financing activities for YTD 2010. Financing activities in YTD 2010 consisted of proceeds from the issuance of $210.0 million under the senior secured notes, $129.2 million received from equity investments in us and $3.8 million in additional obligations related to the CHS Transactions. In YTD 2010, we paid a dividend to our former owners of $8.6 million.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2010, we do not have any off balance sheet arrangements. In addition, we do not have any interest in entities referred to as variable interest entities, which includes special purposes entities and other structured finance entities.
Effect of Inflation
While inflationary increases in certain input costs, such as wages, have an impact on our operating results, inflation has had minimal net impact on our operating results during the last three years, as overall inflation has been offset by increased selling prices and cost reduction actions. We cannot assure you, however, that we will not be affected by general inflation in the future.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See “Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements” to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included above in Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited) of this quarterly report for information on recent accounting pronouncements, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 2.
Item 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our primary market risk exposures include the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices.
Foreign currency risk relating to operations. We transact business globally and are subject to risks associated with fluctuating foreign exchange rates. Approximately 70% of our YTD 2011 consolidated revenue was generated by sales from our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries generally sell their products and services in the local currency, but obtain a significant amount of their products from our facilities located in another country, primarily the United States, Canada or Europe. Significant changes in the relevant exchange rates could adversely affect our margins on foreign sales of products. Our non-U.S. subsidiaries incur most of their expenses (other than intercompany expenses) in their local functional currency. These currencies include the Canadian Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Russian Ruble, Australian Dollar, South Korean Won, Chinese Renminbi, Indian Rupee, Mexican Peso, and Japanese Yen.
During fiscal 2010, our largest exposures to foreign exchange rates consisted primarily of the Canadian Dollar and the Euro against the U.S. Dollar. The market risk related to the foreign currency exchange rates is measured by estimating the potential impact of a 10% change in the value of the U.S. Dollar relative to the local currency exchange rates. The rates used to perform this analysis were based on a weighted average of the market rates in effect during the relevant period. A 10% appreciation of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Canadian Dollar would result in a net decrease in net income of $0.6 million for fiscal 2010. Conversely, a 10% depreciation of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Canadian Dollar would result in a net increase in net income of $0.7 million for fiscal 2010. A 10% appreciation of the U.S. Dollar relat ive to the Euro would result in a net decrease in net income of $0.4 million for fiscal 2010. Conversely, a 10% depreciation of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Euro would result in a net increase in net income of $0.4 million for fiscal 2010.
36
The geographic areas outside the United States in which we operate are generally not considered to be highly inflationary. Nonetheless, these foreign operations are sensitive to fluctuations in currency exchange rates arising from, among other things, certain intercompany transactions that are generally denominated in U.S. Dollars rather than their respective functional currencies. The impact of foreign currency transaction gains and losses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for YTD 2011 was a $0.5million gain compared to a loss of $1.1 million in YTD 2010.
In order to meet our global cash management needs, we often transfer cash between the U.S. and foreign entities and on occasion between foreign entities. In addition, our debt service requirements are primarily in U.S. Dollars and a substantial portion of our cash flow is generated in foreign currencies, and we will need to repatriate cash to the United States in order to meet our U.S. debt service obligations, including on our senior secured notes. These transfers of cash expose us to currency exchange rate risks, and significant changes in the value of the foreign currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar could limit our ability to meet our debt obligations and impair our financial condition.
Because our consolidated financial results are reported in U.S. Dollars, and we generate a substantial amount of our sales and earnings in other currencies, the translation of those results into U.S. Dollars can result in a significant decrease in the amount of those sales and earnings. In addition, fluctuations in currencies relative to the U.S. Dollar may make it more difficult to perform period-to-period comparisons of our reported results of operations. The unrealized effect of foreign currency translation was a gain of $1.2 million in YTD 2011, compared to a gain of $6.9 million in YTD 2010 that was recorded in shareholders’ equity as other comprehensive income which is reported on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income/Loss.
We do not currently use options, forward contracts or any derivatives to hedge cash flow currency exposures.
Interest rate risk and foreign currency risk relating to debt. The interest rate for the senior secured notes is fixed at 9.500% while any borrowings on our revolving credit facility will incur interest expense that is variable in relation to the LIBOR rate. At December 31, 2010, the interest rate on amounts outstanding on our revolving credit facility was 5.75%; however, no amounts were outstanding under the facility. Since there were no amounts outstanding on our various revolving lines of credit at December 31, 2010, any change in the interest rate would not have an impact on interest expense for the year.
The senior secured notes are denominated and payable in the U.S. Dollar. Approximately 71% of our consolidated revenue was generated in foreign currency in YTD 2011; therefore, we expect to have to repatriate our cash earnings in foreign locations in order to make interest payments on the senior secured notes. In the event that the U.S. Dollar strengthens relative to the foreign currencies we are repatriating to make scheduled interest payments, we may incur exchange rate losses that are larger than those that we have reported historically.
Commodity price risk. We use various commodity-based raw materials in our manufacturing processes. Generally, we acquire such components at market prices and do not typically enter into long-term purchase commitments with suppliers or hedging instruments to mitigate commodity price risk. As a result, we are subject to market risks related to changes in commodity prices and supplies of key components of our products. Historically, the costs of our primary raw materials have been stable and readily available from multiple suppliers. Typically, we have been able to pass on raw material cost increases to our customers. We cannot provide any assurance, however, that we may be able to pass along such cost increases to our customers or source sufficient am ounts of key components on commercially reasonable terms or at all in the future, and if we are unable to do so, our results of operations may be adversely affected.
37
Item 4 — Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which we refer to as the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2010 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Ex ecutive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurances that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of a control system reflects resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because there are inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of error or fraud, if any, within our company have been or will be detected.
38
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1 — Legal Proceedings
The Company has no outstanding legal matters outside of matters arising in the ordinary course of business, except as described below.
Asbestos Litigation—Since 1999, we have been named as one of many defendants in 16 personal injury suits alleging exposure to asbestos from our products. None of the cases alleges premises liability. Six cases are currently pending. Insurers are defending us in three of the six lawsuits, and we expect that an insurer will defend us in the remaining three matters. Of the concluded suits, there were five cost of defense settlements and the remainder were dismissed without payment. There are no claims unrelated to asbestos exposure for which coverage has been sought under the policies that are providing coverage.
We can give no assurances we will prevail in any of these matters.
Item 1A — Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in the status of our risk factors from those described in our Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC on December 13, 2010.
