Note 1 Nature of Business | |
Colt is one of the world’s oldest and most renowned designers, developers and manufacturers of firearms for military, personal defense and recreational purposes. Our founder, Samuel Colt, patented the first commercially successful revolving cylinder firearm in 1836 and, in 1847, began supplying U.S. and international military customers with firearms that have set the standards of their era. Today, our end customers encompass every segment of the worldwide firearms market, including U.S., Canadian and foreign military forces, global law enforcement and security agencies, consumers seeking personal protection, the hunting and sporting community and collectors. | |
As of January 1, 2014, Colt effected a legal entity restructuring whereby Colt Defense LLC (“Colt Defense”) and New Colt Holding Corp. (“New Colt”) (See Note 3, “Acquisition” and Note 11, “Income Taxes”) contributed their assets and operations to Colt’s Manufacturing Company LLC (“Colt’s Manufacturing”), a limited liability corporation. The contribution created a combined operating entity for the Company’s U.S. based operations. | |
At March 30, 2014, Colt Defense, a limited liability corporation, owned 100% of Colt Finance Corp. (“Colt Finance”), New Colt, a C corporation, and Colt Defense Technical Services LLC (“CDTS”), a limited liability corporation. Colt Defense and New Colt collectively own 100% of Colt’s Manufacturing as a result of the legal entity restructuring and Colt Defense and CDTS collectively own 100% of Colt International Cooperatief U.A. (“Colt International”), a Dutch cooperatief, which owns 100% of Colt Canada Corporation (“Colt Canada”), a Canadian C corporation. At December 31, 2013, Colt Defense owned 100% of Colt Finance, New Colt and CDTS. New Colt owned 100% of Colt’s Manufacturing and Colt Defense and CDTS collectively owned 100% of Colt International which owned 100% of Colt Canada. | |
The company operates on a monthly 4-4-5 week calendar with the end of each month on a Sunday, except for the month of December which ends on the 31st. The first two months of each quarter, with the exception of January, have four weeks and the third month of each quarter, with the exception of December, has five weeks. The 4-4-5 calendar ensures that the end date of the period is always the same day of the week, which is utilized by the Company for shift and manufacturing planning, and it also ensures that every period is the same length. |

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Accounting and Consolidation | |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Colt Defense and Colt Finance (collectively, the “Company”, or “Colt”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all significant adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013 have been included. The financial information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The consolidated balance sheet dated December 31, 2013 included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that time, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Operating results for the three months ended March 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2014. | |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. | |
On July 12, 2013 (the “Merger Date”), the Company acquired 100% ownership (the “Merger”) of New Colt. The results of New Colt have been included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements from the Merger Date. | |
Reclassification of Prior Period Amounts | |
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. The amounts reclassified relate to cost of training revenue which was reclassified from selling and commission expense to cost of sales and royalty revenue reclassified from other (income) expense, to net sales. Amortization of purchased intangibles was reclassified from a separate line item to selling and commission expense and business development expenses were reclassified from other income to a separate line. | |
The cost of training reclassification was $81 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The royalty revenue reclassification had no impact on the financial statements as amounts were intercompany transactions and eliminated for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The amortization of purchased intangibles reclassification was $117 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The reclassification of business development expenses was $75 for the three months ended March 30, 2013. | |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s significant estimates include estimates used to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the acquisition of New Colt (see Note 3, “Acquisition”) and accruals for contract obligation expense (see Note 16, “Commitments and Contingencies”), excess and obsolete inventory, income tax expense, deferred tax asset valuation, medical claims payable, and worker’s compensation expense. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. | |
Restricted Cash | |
Restricted cash at March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consists of funds deposited to secure standby letters of credit primarily for performance guarantees related to the Company’s international business. | |
Revenue | |
The Company recognizes revenue when evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product or service has occurred and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. | |
The Company accounts for revenues and earnings under two long-term government contracts/programs with interrelated multiple elements (procurement of parts, manufacturing and refurbishment services) using concepts of proportionate performance. These contracts effect reported results for all periods presented. The Company estimates the total profit on each contract as the difference between the total estimated revenue and total estimated cost of the contract and recognizes that profit over the remaining life of the contract using an output measure (the ratio of units completed to the total number of units to be refurbished under the contract). The Company computes an earnings rate for each contract, including general and administrative expense, to determine operating earnings. The Company reviews the earnings rate quarterly to assess revisions in contract values and estimated costs at completion. Any changes in earnings rates and recognized contract to date earnings resulting from these assessments are made in the period the revisions are identified. Contract costs include production costs, related overhead and allocated general and administrative costs. Amounts billed and collected on this contract in excess of revenue recorded are reflected as customer advances and deferred revenue in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. | |
Anticipated contract losses are charged to operations as soon as they are identified. Anticipated losses cover all costs allocable to the contracts, including certain general and administrative expenses. If a contract is cancelled by the government for its convenience, the Company can make a claim against the customer for fair compensation for worked performed plus costs of settling and paying claims by terminated subcontractors, other settlement expenses and a reasonable profit on costs incurred. When the Company has a customer claim, revenue arising from the claims process is either recognized as revenue or as an offset against a potential loss only when the amount of the claim can be estimated reliably and its realization is probable. The Company had no claims recorded at any period-end presented. | |
Prior to the Merger, Colt Defense generated an immaterial amount of royalty income, which it included in other income in its consolidated statements of operations. As a result of the Merger, the Company now generates a higher amount of royalty income on a quarterly basis and has therefore determined that royalty income should now be recorded as net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. | |
The Company recognizes trademark licensing revenue for individual licensees based on historical experience and expected cash receipts from licensees. Licensing revenue consists of minimum royalties and/or a percentage of a licensee’s sales on licensed products. Under most of the Company’s current licensing agreements, royalties are payable in arrears on a calendar quarter basis. | |
Income Taxes | |
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company recognizes the benefit of an uncertain tax position that has been taken or it expects to take on income tax returns if such tax position is more likely than not to be sustained. | |
The Company follows the authoritative guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These unrecognized tax benefits relate primarily to issues common among multinational corporations in its industry. The Company applies a variety of methodologies in making these estimates, which include studies performed by independent economists, advice from industry and subject experts, evaluation of public actions taken by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities, as well as its own industry experience. The Company provides estimates for unrecognized tax benefits which may be subject to material adjustments until matters are resolved with taxing authorities or statutes expire. If its estimates are not representative of actual outcomes, its results of operations could be materially impacted. | |
The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets where realization is not certain. The Company periodically evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets and reduces the carrying amount of these deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent it believes a portion will not be realized. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including its recent cumulative earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income, carryforward periods available to it for tax reporting purposes, various income tax strategies and other relevant factors. Significant judgment is required in making this assessment and, to the extent future expectations change, the Company would assess the recoverability of its deferred tax assets at that time. If the Company determines that the deferred tax assets are not realizable in a future period, the Company would record material adjustments to income tax expense in that period. | |
Guarantor Financial Statements | |
In accordance with Rule 3-10 of SEC Regulation S-X, the Company is not presenting condensed consolidating financial statements as Colt Defense and Colt Finance have no independent assets or operations. All of the Company’s subsidiaries are 100% owned and have guaranteed the Company’s Senior Notes; and all of the guarantees are full, unconditional, joint and several. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists - In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11 to provide guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. ASU 2013-11 requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows: to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. ASU 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 with earlier adoption permitted. ASU 2013-11 should be applied prospectively with retroactive application permitted. The Company has adopted ASU 2013-11 in the first quarter of 2014. |

Note 3 Acquisition | |||||
On the Merger Date, the Company consummated the Merger with New Colt, a privately-held company, which is a world leader in the design, development and manufacture of pistols and revolvers. As a result of the Merger, the two manufacturers of Colt-branded firearms were consolidated into a single enterprise providing Colt Defense direct access to the commercial market for Colt Defense’s rifles and carbines, ownership of the Colt brand name and other related trademarks, and the technology and production facilities for the full line of Colt handguns. | |||||
Prior to determining the purchase price allocation of the Merger consideration, Colt Defense recorded the effective settlement of a pre-existing relationship with New Colt related to Colt Defense’s license agreement (the “License”) with New Colt for the use of certain Colt trademarks. As a result of the effective settlement of the pre-existing relationship, Colt Defense recorded a gain in the third quarter of 2013 of $15,264 (“Settlement Gain”), which equals the calculated gain of $16,320 reduced by the write-off of Colt Defense’s prepaid license balance of $1,056. A third-party valuation firm assisted management’s calculation of the gain by comparing the value of the royalty rate in the License to the current market rate for such a license. | |||||
The Company acquired New Colt for an aggregate purchase price of $82,543, which included the Settlement Gain of $15,264. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded by the proceeds from a new $50,000 senior secured term loan (“Term Loan”), cash on hand and $9,000 of consideration from the issuance and sale of the Company’s common units, of which $5,000 was paid in cash and $4,000 was related to Merger consideration reinvested by certain New Colt investors into Colt Defense. | |||||

The Company believes that this information is a reasonable estimate of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. | |||||
The Company, with the assistance of a third party valuation firm, valued the Colt brand and related trademarks by comparing the value of the royalty rate inherent in the prepaid license fee to the current market rate for such a license based upon both the value of the Colt brand and related trademarks in both the defense and commercial marketplace utilizing a relief from royalty methodology. | |||||
The Company, with the assistance of a third party valuation firm, determined the fair value of the finite-lived intangible assets which includes $5,240 of existing license agreements, valued based on a discounted cash flow approach, which represents the estimated fair value of New Colt license agreements for licensing the Colt trade marks to various third parties, $2,970 of developed technology, valued based on a relief from royalty method, which represents the estimated fair value of designs, trade secrets, materials, specifications and other proprietary intellectual property included in the technical data packages and related manufacturing processes and know-how and $1,130 of backlog, valued based on an excess earnings method, which represents the estimated fair value of unfilled contractual orders from customers. The weighted average useful lives of the acquired existing license agreements, developed technology and backlog were 6 years, 20 years, and 3 years respectively. In addition, the Company, with the assistance of a third party valuation firm, valued the Colt brand and related trade marks by comparing the value of the royalty rate inherent in the license (see Note 8,”Goodwill, Trademarks and Other Intangible Assets”) to the current market rate for such a license based upon both the value of the Colt brand and related trade marks in both the defense and the commercial marketplace utilizing a relief from royalty methodology. | |||||
Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover the deferred tax assets acquired through the acquisition of New Colt, the Company considered all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax assets and liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies and results of recent operations. In projecting future taxable income for New Colt, the Company began with historical results adjusted to include the $50,000 Term Loan (see Note 9, “Notes Payable and Long-Term Debt”) and related interest expense, incorporated assumptions including the amount of future state and federal pre-tax operating income, the reversal of temporary differences and the implementation of feasible and prudent tax-planning strategies. These assumptions require significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates the Company is using to manage the underlying business. Based on the analysis performed, the Company believes, as of the acquisition date, that it is more likely than not that the benefit from New Colt’s deferred tax assets will not be realized. In recognition of this risk, the Company provided a valuation allowance against New Colt’s deferred tax assets as part of the Company’s purchase accounting adjustments. | |||||
Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill will not be amortized but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if indicators of impairment arise. The $36,974 of goodwill is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. | |||||
The following table reflects the unaudited pro forma operating results of the Company for three months ended March 31, 2013, which gives effect to the Merger with New Colt as if it had occurred on January 1, 2012. The pro forma results are based on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the Merger been effective January 1, 2012, nor are they intended to be indicative of results that may occur in the future. The underlying pro forma information includes historical financial results of the Company and New Colt adjusted for certain items including depreciation and amortization expense associated with the assets acquired, the Company’s expense related to financing arrangements and the elimination of intercompany transactions. The pro forma information does not include the effects of any synergies or cost reduction initiatives related to the Merger. | |||||

Note 8 Goodwill, Trademarks and Other Intangible Assets | |||||||||||||
Goodwill | |||||||||||||
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of the beginning of the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter, or when events or circumstances indicate that its value may have declined. Impairment exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its fair market value. Management estimates the fair value of each reporting unit primarily using the income approach. Specifically the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model was utilized for the valuation of each reporting unit. Management develops cash flow forecasts based on existing firm orders, expected future orders, contracts with suppliers, labor agreements and general market conditions. The Company discounts the cash flow forecasts using the weighted-average cost of capital method at the date of evaluation. The Company also calculates the fair value of its reporting units using the market approach in order to corroborate its DCF model results. These methodologies used in the current year are consistent with those used in the prior year. | |||||||||||||
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company has seen a decrease in the demand for commercial rifles and a decrease in international sales when compared to 2013. The Company concluded that a triggering event has not occurred and an interim impairment test for goodwill was not necessary as of March 30, 2014. These conclusions were based on its most recent financial projections. If the Company’s actual results are lower than its financial projections on a longer term basis, an impairment test may be necessary which may result in future impairment. | |||||||||||||
The following table sets forth the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the Company as of and for the three months ended March 30, 2014: | |||||||||||||

Trademarks | |||||||||||||
In connection with the Merger, the Company recorded an indefinite-lived intangible asset of $50,100 for the Colt brand and related trademarks. The Company, with the assistance of a third party valuation firm, valued the Colt brand and related trademarks by comparing the value of the royalty rate inherent in the prepaid license fee to the current market rate for such a license based upon both the value of the Colt brand and related trademarks in both the defense and the commercial marketplace utilizing a relief from royalty methodology. | |||||||||||||
Intangible Assets | |||||||||||||
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment losses, where identified, are determined as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the long-lived asset. The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of assets held for use based on a review of projected undiscounted cash flows. When long-lived assets are reclassified to “held for sale”, The Company compares the asset’s carrying amount to its estimated fair value less cost to sell to evaluate impairment. No long-lived assets have been reclassified to held for sale for any period presented. | |||||||||||||
In connection with the Merger, the Company recorded finite-lived intangible assets of $9,340 which includes $5,240 of existing license agreements which represents the estimated fair value of New Colt license agreements for licensing the Colt trademarks to various third parties, $2,970 of developed technology which represents the estimated fair value of designs, trade secrets, materials, specifications and other proprietary intellectual property included in the technical data packages and related manufacturing processes and know-how and $1,130 of backlog which represents the estimated fair value of unfilled contractual orders from customers. The weighted average useful lives of the acquired existing license agreements, developed technology and backlog were 6 years, 20 years and 3 years, respectively. | |||||||||||||

Term Loan | ||||||||
On July 12, 2013, in connection with the Merger, the Company entered into the Term Loan, which matures on November 15, 2016. The Term Loan bears interest at a variable rate of 9.75% plus the greater of the three month LIBOR rate or 1%. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of the subsequent calendar quarter. Under the Term Loan, the Company’s obligations are secured by a first priority security interest in the Company’s intellectual property and a second priority security interest in substantially all other assets. The Term Loan was issued at a discount of $2,293, which represents the lenders fees and legal expenses. The Company also incurred $2,120 in financing fees. The discount and the financing fees are being amortized as additional interest expense over the life of the indebtedness. Principal repayments, which are due quarterly on the last day of each calendar quarter, are as follows: | ||||||||
Amount | ||||||||
Remaining 2014 | $ | 5,000 | ||||||
2015 | 7,500 | |||||||
2016 | 36,250 | |||||||
Total | $ | 48,750 | ||||||
On March 31, 2014, the Company made Term Loan principal and interest payments of $625 and $1,310, respectively. | ||||||||
The Term Loan agreement contains financial covenants including a minimum EBITDA threshold, a fixed charge coverage ratio and a maximum secured leverage ratio, each as defined by the Term Loan agreement. In addition, the Company cannot exceed specified levels of capital expenditures. All financial covenants, with limited exceptions, are calculated on a rolling 4-quarter basis based on financial results for the current and three preceding fiscal quarters. The Company was in compliance with its Term Loan covenants as of March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and the Company monitors its future compliance based on current and anticipated financial results. It is possible the Company will not meet one or more of the Term Loan covenants in one or more quarters in 2014. If the Company were to not meet certain of the Term Loan covenants, the Company would likely seek a waiver from the Term Loan lenders. There is no assurance that such a waiver could be obtained from the Term Loan lenders on a timely basis or at all, in which case the Term Loan would become a current liability. | ||||||||
The Term Loan agreement also contains non-financial covenants and other restrictions which limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments or certain payments, pay dividends (other than for member distributions to support member LLC-related taxes) and merge, acquire or sell assets. | ||||||||
Credit Agreement | ||||||||
On September 29, 2011, the Company entered into a credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, senior secured revolving loans are available up to $50,000, inclusive of $20,000 available for letters of credit. Revolving loans are subject to, among other things, the borrowing base, which is calculated monthly based on specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventory and specified values of fixed assets. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company’s obligations are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of its assets (other than intellectual property), including accounts receivable, inventory and certain other collateral, and a second-priority security interest in its intellectual property. The Credit Agreement matures on September 28, 2016. | ||||||||
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable rate based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the Canadian Banker’s Acceptance Rate or the lender’s prime rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement, plus a spread. The interest rate spread on borrowing varies based on both the rate option selected and Colt’s quarterly average excess availability under the Credit Agreement. There is an unused line fee of .50% per annum, payable quarterly on the unused portion under the facility and a $40 annual servicing fee. | ||||||||
The Credit Agreement limits the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments or certain payments, pay dividends (other than for member distributions to support member LLC-related taxes) and merge, acquire or sell assets. In addition, certain covenants would be triggered if excess availability were to fall below a specified level. Excess availability is determined as the lesser of our borrowing base or $50,000, reduced by outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement and trade payables that are more than 60 days past due. Furthermore, if excess availability falls below $11,000 or an event of default occurs, the Company would be required to provide the lender with more frequent compliance reporting and the lender may also assume certain other contractual privileges. The Credit Agreement contains customary events of default. As of March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and restrictions and the Company monitors its future compliance based on current and anticipated financial results. | ||||||||
As of March 30, 2014, there were no advances and $3,486 of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement. As of December 31, 2013, there was a $7,083 line advance and $3,486 of letters of credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement. | ||||||||
On March 22, 2013, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Credit Agreement, whereby, among other things, the lenders under the Credit Agreement consented to the transaction pursuant to the Unit Repurchase Agreement. For additional information about this transaction, see Note 13, “Accumulated Deficit” in this Form 10-Q. | ||||||||
On June 19, 2013, Colt Defense entered into Amendment No. 3 to the Credit Agreement, whereby the lenders consented to the contribution of all the issued and outstanding equity interests issued by Colt Canada to Colt International so that Colt Canada would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Colt International, and providing for Colt International to become a guarantor under the Credit Agreement. | ||||||||
On July 12, 2013, Colt Defense entered into Amendment No. 4 to the Credit Agreement, which provided for New Colt to become a guarantor and Colt’s Manufacturing Company LLC (“Colt’s Manufacturing”) to become a borrower under the Credit Agreement in connection with the Merger. | ||||||||
Senior Notes | ||||||||
On November 10, 2009, Colt Defense LLC and Colt Finance Corp., the Company’s 100%-owned subsidiary, jointly and severally co-issued $250,000 of unsecured senior notes (“Senior Notes”) under an indenture (“Indenture”). The Senior Notes bear interest at 8.75% and mature on November 15, 2017. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15. The Company issued the Senior Notes at a discount of $3,522 from par value. This discount is being amortized as additional interest expense over the life of the indebtedness. No principal repayments are required until maturity. | ||||||||
The Senior Notes do not contain financial covenants that require the Company to maintain compliance with any financial ratios or other measurements on a periodic basis. The Senior Notes do contain non-financial covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, enter into certain mergers or consolidations, incur certain liens and engage in certain transactions with its affiliates. In addition, the Indenture restricts the Company’s ability to pay dividends or make other Restricted Payments (as defined in the Indenture) to its members, subject to certain exceptions. Such restrictions are not expected to affect the Company’s ability to meet its cash obligations for the next twelve months. Additionally, the Senior Notes contain certain cross-default provisions with other indebtedness if such indebtedness in default aggregates to $20,000 or more. | ||||||||
On June 19, 2013, the Company entered into a supplement to the Indenture by which Colt International, Colt Canada and CDTS became new subsidiary guarantors to the Senior Notes. As such, each agreed to jointly and severally guarantee the obligations under the Indenture. | ||||||||
On July 12, 2013, the Company entered into a supplement to the Indenture, by which New Colt and Colt’s Manufacturing became parties to the Indenture and each agreed to jointly and severally guarantee the obligations under the Indenture. | ||||||||
The outstanding loan balances at March 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013 were as follows: | ||||||||

Note 11 Income Taxes | ||||||||
Colt Defense is a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware. Colt Defense is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes and is not subject to U.S. federal or state income taxes. Consequently, all taxable income (loss) of Colt Defense is reported to its members for inclusion in their respective income tax returns. The limited liability company agreement of Colt Defense requires distributions to the members in any year in which there is U.S. taxable income. The member’s distribution is equal to the product of the highest combined marginal federal, state, or local income tax rate applicable to any member and the highest taxable income allocated to any one unit, to the extent that the Governing Board determines that sufficient funds are available. | ||||||||
As a result of the Merger with New Colt effective July 12, 2013, Colt Defense owns 100% of New Colt, a C corporation organized under the laws of Delaware. New Colt is taxed as a corporation for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. Through December 31, 2013, New Colt owned 100% of Colt’s Manufacturing, New Colt’s operating entity. | ||||||||
Effective January 1, 2014 (see Note 1, “Nature of Business”), Colt Defense and New Colt each contributed their assets and operations to Colt’s Manufacturing. As a result, Colt Defense and New Colt collectively own 100% of Colt’s Manufacturing, the combined domestic operating entity of the Company. The Company estimated the fair value of the Colt Defense and New Colt contributions to determine the respective ownership percentages of Colt Defense and New Colt. The allocation of the fair value of the contributions to the individual assets and liabilities contributed is preliminary and subject to change. | ||||||||
The combined operations of Colt’s Manufacturing are treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Consequently, taxable income is computed at the partnership level to determine New Colt’s income tax expense and Colt Defense’s member distribution payable. In conjunction with the transaction, New Colt acquired a preferred investment in Colt’s Manufacturing and a common equity interest in exchange for its contribution. Colt Defense acquired the remaining common equity interest in exchange for its contribution. Since each member contributed assets, the Company is allocating the built in gain (the difference between fair market value and tax basis) back to the contributing member in accordance with a permitted method under Section 704(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. | ||||||||
Colt Defense and CDTS, a wholly owned subsidiary, collectively own 100% of Colt International, a Dutch cooperatief. Colt International owns 100% of Colt Canada, a Canadian C corporation. The income (loss) of Colt Canada is subject to entity level Canadian federal and provincial taxes. Subsequent to March 30, 2014, Colt Canada declared and paid dividends to Colt International. Under the terms of the treaty between Canada and The Netherlands, Colt Canada is required to withhold taxes on the dividends at a rate of 5%. | ||||||||
The provision (benefit) for foreign income taxes is as follows: | ||||||||

Total | $ | (86 | ) | $ | 681 | |||
New Colt has a partnership interest in Colt’s Manufacturing in which the book basis of New Colt’s assets and liabilities contributed exceeds the tax basis of those assets and liabilities. Therefore, New Colt has a deferred tax liability with respect to their partnership interest as of March 30, 2014. The requirement that the partnership use carryover basis with respect to the contributed assets resulted in the partnership’s basis in the assets being equal to New Colt’s investment in the partnership. | ||||||||
A valuation allowance is established if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. A significant portion of the value of New Colt’s asset contribution was attributed to an indefinite lived intangible asset. Consequently, the exclusion of the portion of the contribution related the indefinite lived intangible asset from the deferred tax liability associated with the partnership interest would put New Colt in a net deferred tax asset position. The Company has established that it is more likely than not that the full amount of New Colt’s deferred tax assets will not be recognized in future years. Consequently, New Colt continues to maintain a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets. |

On March 1, 2012, the Governing Board approved the Colt Defense Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of Colt Defense and its equity holders by providing a means to attract, retain and motivate key employees, advisors and members of the Governing Board. Awards under the Plan may consist of options, restricted units, restricted phantom units, performance units or other unit-based awards. A total of 18,878 nonvoting Class B common units have been reserved for issuance in connection with awards under the Plan. | |
Under the Plan, the exercise price of option awards is set at the grant date and may not be less than the fair market value per unit on that date. The term of each option is ten years from the grant date. The vesting periods, which vary by grant, may be time based, performance based or a combination thereof. Compensation expense equal to the grant date fair value of the option is generally recognized over the period during which the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award or as the performance obligation is met. Fair value of the option was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes valuation method. | |
In the first quarter of 2014, there were no options granted. In 2013, options were granted for 5,300 common units at a weighted-average exercise price of $288.78 (not in thousands). The Company’s common unit compensation expense, which is included in general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, was immaterial for the three months ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively. |

At March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had unconditional purchase obligations related to capital expenditures for machinery and equipment of $1,104 and $892, respectively. | ||||||||
The Company also had certain industrial cooperation agreements, which stipulate its commitments to provide offsetting business to certain countries that have purchased Colt’s products. Colt generally settles its offset purchase commitments under industrial cooperation agreements through offsetting business and/or cooperating with other contractors on their spending during the related period. Additionally, the Company identifies future purchases and other satisfaction plans for the remainder of the offset purchase commitment period. Should there be a projected net purchase commitment after such consideration, Colt accrues the estimated cost to settle the offset purchase commitment. | ||||||||
The Company’s remaining gross offset purchase commitment is the total amount of offset purchase commitments reduced for claims submitted and approved by the governing agencies. At March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, remaining gross offset purchase commitments totaled $63,504 and $64,131, respectively. The Company has evaluated the settlement of its remaining gross offset purchase commitments through probable planned spending and other probable satisfaction plans to determine the net offset purchase commitment. The Company has accrued $1,599 and $1,639 as of March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, based on the estimated cost of settling the remaining net offset purchase commitment. | ||||||||
In the third and fourth quarters of the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded an aggregate contract obligation expense of $7,513 related to a third party contract. The contract obligation expense relates to estimated costs to retrofit products previously delivered as well as costs associated with required changes in product design and production processes. The expense recorded was based on the Company’s best estimate of the costs to satisfy the obligation given a range of possible outcomes. The Company believes the actual costs to satisfy this obligation may vary from the original estimate. Accrued contract obligation expense of $5,264 and $5,325 as of March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, is included in accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company incurred an additional expense of $311 in the first quarter of 2014. | ||||||||
The Company is involved in various legal claims and disputes in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for such liabilities when it is both (i) probable that a loss has occurred and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments affecting legal claims and disputes that could cause an increase or decrease in the amount of the liability that has been previously accrued. At this time, management does not anticipate any such loss would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. | ||||||||
During the three months ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively, there were no material tax examinations. | ||||||||
In 2011, New Colt entered into a twelve year agreement with Osceola County in Florida to lease a 16,000 square foot facility in Kissimmee, Florida. This facility was renovated by the County at their cost and the building was made available for occupancy during 2012. There are no lease payments due during the initial five years of the lease and the annual cost of the lease will be $108 per year with the lease expiring on January 15, 2023. The lease expense is being accounted for on a straight-line basis, with an annual charge of $78 being incurred over the term of the lease. At March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, deferred lease expense was $56 and $36, respectively. In connection with the lease, the Company was required to hire a minimum number of employees commencing in 2013. As of March 30, 2014, the Company had not occupied the Florida facility and had not hired any employees. The Company has accrued a contractual penalty of $63 and $50 at March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, for not meeting the minimum hiring requirement. In addition, the State of Florida contributed $250 of funds to the County to assist with the cost of the renovations. The Company is responsible for making a minimum capital investment of $2,500, of which $181 had been made through both March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. |

Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' |
Note 19 Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |
The fair value of an asset or liability is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged or settled in a current transaction between willing parties where neither is compelled to buy or sell. The carrying values for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current assets and liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt of $295,123 and $294,817 at March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, was recorded at amortized cost. The estimated fair value of long-term debt was approximately $275,575 and $262,775 at March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The fair value of the Senior Notes was based on quoted market prices, which are Level 1 inputs and the fair value of the Term Loan was based on Level 3 inputs. | |
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The inputs used to measure fair value fall into the following hierarchy: | |
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
Level 2: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, or unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability. | |
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. | |
As of March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company did not have any financial assets and liabilities reported at fair value and measured on a recurring basis or any significant nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities. Therefore, Colt did not have any transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2014. |

Basis of Accounting and Consolidation | |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Colt Defense and Colt Finance (collectively, the “Company”, or “Colt”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all significant adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013 have been included. The financial information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The consolidated balance sheet dated December 31, 2013 included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that time, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Operating results for the three months ended March 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2014. | |
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. | |
On July 12, 2013 (the “Merger Date”), the Company acquired 100% ownership (the “Merger”) of New Colt. The results of New Colt have been included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements from the Merger Date. | |
Reclassification of Prior Period Amounts | ' |
Reclassification of Prior Period Amounts | |
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. The amounts reclassified relate to cost of training revenue which was reclassified from selling and commission expense to cost of sales and royalty revenue reclassified from other (income) expense, to net sales. Amortization of purchased intangibles was reclassified from a separate line item to selling and commission expense and business development expenses were reclassified from other income to a separate line. | |
The cost of training reclassification was $81 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The royalty revenue reclassification had no impact on the financial statements as amounts were intercompany transactions and eliminated for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The amortization of purchased intangibles reclassification was $117 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The reclassification of business development expenses was $75 for the three months ended March 30, 2013. | |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of Estimates | |
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s significant estimates include estimates used to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed related to the acquisition of New Colt (see Note 3, “Acquisition”) and accruals for contract obligation expense (see Note 16, “Commitments and Contingencies”), excess and obsolete inventory, income tax expense, deferred tax asset valuation, medical claims payable, and worker’s compensation expense. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. | |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | |
Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. | |
Restricted Cash | ' |
Restricted Cash | |
Restricted cash at March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 consists of funds deposited to secure standby letters of credit primarily for performance guarantees related to the Company’s international business. | |
Revenue | ' |
Revenue | |
The Company recognizes revenue when evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery of the product or service has occurred and title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. | |
The Company accounts for revenues and earnings under two long-term government contracts/programs with interrelated multiple elements (procurement of parts, manufacturing and refurbishment services) using concepts of proportionate performance. These contracts effect reported results for all periods presented. The Company estimates the total profit on each contract as the difference between the total estimated revenue and total estimated cost of the contract and recognizes that profit over the remaining life of the contract using an output measure (the ratio of units completed to the total number of units to be refurbished under the contract). The Company computes an earnings rate for each contract, including general and administrative expense, to determine operating earnings. The Company reviews the earnings rate quarterly to assess revisions in contract values and estimated costs at completion. Any changes in earnings rates and recognized contract to date earnings resulting from these assessments are made in the period the revisions are identified. Contract costs include production costs, related overhead and allocated general and administrative costs. Amounts billed and collected on this contract in excess of revenue recorded are reflected as customer advances and deferred revenue in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. | |
Anticipated contract losses are charged to operations as soon as they are identified. Anticipated losses cover all costs allocable to the contracts, including certain general and administrative expenses. If a contract is cancelled by the government for its convenience, the Company can make a claim against the customer for fair compensation for worked performed plus costs of settling and paying claims by terminated subcontractors, other settlement expenses and a reasonable profit on costs incurred. When the Company has a customer claim, revenue arising from the claims process is either recognized as revenue or as an offset against a potential loss only when the amount of the claim can be estimated reliably and its realization is probable. The Company had no claims recorded at any period-end presented. | |
Prior to the Merger, Colt Defense generated an immaterial amount of royalty income, which it included in other income in its consolidated statements of operations. As a result of the Merger, the Company now generates a higher amount of royalty income on a quarterly basis and has therefore determined that royalty income should now be recorded as net sales in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. | |
The Company recognizes trademark licensing revenue for individual licensees based on historical experience and expected cash receipts from licensees. Licensing revenue consists of minimum royalties and/or a percentage of a licensee’s sales on licensed products. Under most of the Company’s current licensing agreements, royalties are payable in arrears on a calendar quarter basis. | |
Income Taxes | ' |
Income Taxes | |
The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse. The Company provides a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company recognizes the benefit of an uncertain tax position that has been taken or it expects to take on income tax returns if such tax position is more likely than not to be sustained. | |
The Company follows the authoritative guidance regarding accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. These unrecognized tax benefits relate primarily to issues common among multinational corporations in its industry. The Company applies a variety of methodologies in making these estimates, which include studies performed by independent economists, advice from industry and subject experts, evaluation of public actions taken by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities, as well as its own industry experience. The Company provides estimates for unrecognized tax benefits which may be subject to material adjustments until matters are resolved with taxing authorities or statutes expire. If its estimates are not representative of actual outcomes, its results of operations could be materially impacted. | |
The Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets where realization is not certain. The Company periodically evaluates the likelihood of the realization of deferred tax assets and reduces the carrying amount of these deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance to the extent it believes a portion will not be realized. The Company considers many factors when assessing the likelihood of future realization of deferred tax assets, including its recent cumulative earnings experience by taxing jurisdiction, expectations of future taxable income, carryforward periods available to it for tax reporting purposes, various income tax strategies and other relevant factors. Significant judgment is required in making this assessment and, to the extent future expectations change, the Company would assess the recoverability of its deferred tax assets at that time. If the Company determines that the deferred tax assets are not realizable in a future period, the Company would record material adjustments to income tax expense in that period. | |

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists - In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11 to provide guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. ASU 2013-11 requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except as follows: to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. ASU 2013-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 with earlier adoption permitted. ASU 2013-11 should be applied prospectively with retroactive application permitted. The Company has adopted ASU 2013-11 in the first quarter of 2014. |
