	1	Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
	Description of Business
	Jason Industries, Inc. (f/k/a Quinpario Acquisition Corp., “Jason Industries”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is a diversified industrial manufacturing company with four reportable segments: seating, finishing, acoustics, and components. The segments have separate management teams and have operations within the United States and 14 foreign countries. Through these segments, the Company is the global or domestic leader in a number of product categories. The Company is the leading producer of seating for the motorcycle and off-road vehicle sectors, and the leading supplier of static seats to the commercial and residential lawn/turf sector. The Company is also a leading producer of non-woven acoustical fiber insulation for the automotive sector and the leading global manufacturer of industrial consumables (brushes, buffing wheels and buffing compounds). The Company also manufactures precision components, expanded and perforated metal, and slip-resistant walking surfaces.
	The Company was originally incorporated in Delaware on May 31, 2013 as a blank check company, formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination. On June 30, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated its business combination with Jason Partners Holdings Inc. (“Jason”) pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, dated as of March 16, 2014, which provided for the acquisition of all of the capital stock of Jason by the Company (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company changed its name from Quinpario Acquisition Corp. to Jason Industries, Inc. and commenced trading of its common stock and warrants under the symbols, “JASN” and “JASNW”, respectively, on NASDAQ. See Note 2 for a further discussion of the Business Combination.
	Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company’s efforts were limited to organizational activities, its initial public offering, and the search for suitable business acquisition transactions.
	Basis of Presentation
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2013 was derived from Jason’s audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. For additional information, including the Company’s significant accounting policies, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with (i) the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and (ii) Jason’s consolidated financial statements and related footnotes thereto for the periods ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 included in the Company’s Definitive Proxy filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 16, 2014.
	As a result of the Business Combination, the Company was identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes, and Jason is the acquiree and accounting predecessor. The Company’s financial statement presentation distinguishes a “Predecessor” for Jason for periods prior to the Closing Date.  The Company was subsequently re-established as Jason Industries, Inc. and is the “Successor” for periods after the Closing Date, which includes consolidation of Jason subsequent to the Business Combination on June 30, 2014.  The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, and the Successor financial statements reflect a new basis of accounting that is based on the fair value of net assets acquired.  See Note 2 for further discussion of the Business Combination.  As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting as of the effective time of the acquisition, the financial statements for the Predecessor period and for the Successor period are presented on a different basis and, therefore, not comparable.
	The Company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. Throughout the year, the Company reports its results using a fiscal calendar whereby each three month quarterly reporting period is approximately thirteen weeks in length, ending on a Friday. The exceptions are the first quarter, which begins on January 1, and the fourth quarter, which ends on December 31. For 2014, the Company’s fiscal quarters are comprised of the three months ended March 28, June 27, September 26 and December 31. In 2013, the Company’s fiscal quarters are comprised of the three months ended March 29, June 28, September 27 and December 31.
	In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of financial results have been made. Such adjustments consist of only those of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2014.
	Jason made the decision to withdraw from the Morton multiemployer plan as of August 15, 2012. In connection with the withdrawal Jason recorded an expense of $3.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. This represented the estimated present value of Jason’s obligation to the plan as of that date. The withdrawal amount was finalized during 2013 and Jason reduced its liability by reversing expense of $0.7 million. This amount is included as a separate line item on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
	Reclassification
	The condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013 included herein reflects separately presented “Transaction-related expenses”, the total amounts of which had previously been included within “Selling and administrative expenses”. Such prior year amounts have been reclassified in the comparative periods presented to conform to the current period presentation. Transaction-related expenses were zero and $1.0 million in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013, respectively.
	Recently issued accounting standards
	In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements (or within one year after the date on which the financial statements are available to be issued, when applicable). Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter; early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Consummation of Business Combination	'
	2	Consummation of Business Combination
	On June 30, 2014, the Company and Jason completed the Business Combination in which JPHI Holdings Inc. (“JPHI”), a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired 100 percent of the capital stock of Jason. The purchase price of $536.0 million was funded by the cash proceeds from the Company’s initial public offering, new debt, the issuance of 45,000 shares of 8% Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and rollover equity invested by Jason’s former owners and management of Jason (collectively the “Rollover Participants”). The purchase price includes the payment of $9.2 million for current assets that are in excess of normalized working capital requirements. For the period January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014 and the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014, the Company incurred approximately $27.8 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of transaction expenses directly related to the Business Combination.
	Following the consummation of the Business Combination, Jason became an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, with the Company owning approximately 83.1 percent of JPHI and the Rollover Participants owning a noncontrolling interest of approximately 16.9 percent of JPHI. The Rollover Participants held 3,485,623 shares of JPHI exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for shares of common stock of the Company.
	In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, all indebtedness under Jason’s U.S. credit facility was repaid in full, and the Company replaced Jason’s existing credit agreement with a new $460.0 million senior secured credit facility. See Note 8 for further discussion of the new senior secured credit facility.
	The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information presents the Company’s results as though Jason and the Company had combined at January 1, 2013. Pro forma net earnings attributable to common shareholders were adjusted to exclude $5.6 million and $38.4 million of transaction-related expenses incurred in the three and nine months ended September 26, 2014, respectively. Pro forma earnings attributable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 were adjusted to include these transaction-related expenses, and were adjusted by $5.8 million of nonrecurring expense related to the fair value adjustment to acquisition date inventory. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with GAAP.

The amounts allocated to goodwill and intangible assets are based on preliminary valuations and are subject to final adjustment to reflect the final valuations. These final valuations of the assets and liabilities could have a material impact on the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed above.

	Total long-term debt	$	417,544		$	235,831
	At September 26, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company assessed the amounts recorded under revolving loans and long-term debt and determined that such amounts approximated fair value. The fair value of the debt was based on quoted inactive market prices and is therefore classified as Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy.
	Senior Secured Credit Facilities (Successor)
	In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, all indebtedness under Jason’s U.S. credit facility was repaid in full. Jason Incorporated (“Jason Inc”), an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the Company, as the borrower, replaced Jason’s existing credit agreement with a new $460.0 million U.S. credit facility (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The new facility included (i) term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $310.0 million (“First Lien Term Loans”) maturing in 7 years, (ii) term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $110.0 million (“Second Lien Term Loans”) maturing in 8 years, and (iii) a revolving loan of up to $40.0 million (“Revolving Credit Facility”) maturing in 5 years. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the full amount of the First Lien Term Loans and Second Lien Term Loans were drawn, and no revolving loans were drawn. The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $13.5 million in connection with the refinancing that are included in other long-term assets and will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the respective borrowings on a straight-line basis.
	The principal amount of the First Lien Term Loans amortizes in quarterly installments equal to $0.8 million, with the balance payable at maturity. At the Company’s election, the interest rate per annum applicable to the loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities will be based on a fluctuating rate of interest determined by reference to either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the higher of (a) the “prime rate” of Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, (b) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (c) the Eurocurrency rate applicable for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin equal to (x) 3.50% in the case of the First Lien Term Loans, (y) 2.25% in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility or (z) 7.00% in the case of the Second Lien Term Loans or (ii) a Eurocurrency rate determined by reference to LIBOR, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements, plus an applicable margin equal to (x) 4.50% in the case of the First Lien Term Loans, (y) 3.25% in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility or (z) 8.00% in the case of the Second Lien Term Loans. Borrowings under the First Lien Term Facility and Second Lien Term Facility will be subject to a floor of 1.00% in the case of Eurocurrency loans. The applicable margin for loans under the Revolving Credit Facility may be adjusted after the completion of Jason Inc’s first full fiscal quarter after the closing of the Business Combination based upon Jason Inc’s consolidated first lien net leverage ratio.
	Under the Revolving Credit Facility, if the aggregate outstanding amount of all Revolving Loans, swingline loans and certain letter of credit obligations exceed 25 percent of the revolving credit commitments at the end of any fiscal quarter, Jason Inc and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be required to not exceed a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio, initially specified at 5.50 to 1.00, with periodic decreases beginning on July 1, 2016 to 5.25 to 1.00 and decreasing to 4.50 to 1.00 on December 31, 2017 and remaining at that level thereafter. If such outstanding amounts do not exceed 25 percent of the revolving credit commitments at the end of any fiscal quarter, no financial covenants are applicable.
	At September 26, 2014, the interest rates on the outstanding balances of the First Lien Term Loans and Second Lien Term Loans were 5.5% and 9.0%, respectively. At September 26, 2014, the Company had a total of $35.5 million of availability for additional borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as the Company had no outstanding borrowings and letters of credit outstanding of $4.5 million which reduce availability under the facility.
	Jason Credit Facility (Predecessor)
	In February 2013, the Company replaced its existing credit agreement with a $260.0 million senior secured credit facility. The new facility included a six-year, $225.0 million senior secured term loan and a five-year, $35.0 million revolving loan. The borrowings under the term loan, along with existing cash, were used to retire borrowings outstanding under a previous term loan of $178.5 million, redeem 17,757.7 shares of preferred stock for $24.8 million, pay a cash dividend to common shareholders of $25.0 million and pay various expenses associated with the refinancing. In November 2013, the credit facility was amended to increase term loan borrowings by $10.0 million, as allowed by the agreement.
	The refinancing of the term loan portion of the former facility resulted in recognition of a significant portion of the debt as a debt extinguishment in the first quarter of 2013. The extinguishment was caused by the change in the projected present value of cash flows under the new agreement, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of $5.4 million. This amount is included in interest expense for the nine months ended September 27, 2013 and includes $4.0 million of lender fees incurred through the refinancing as well as a $1.4 million write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the former credit facility. In addition, the Company has included $0.2 million in interest expense related to other debt issuance costs that were allocated to a portion of the debt which the Company treated as a debt modification. The Company capitalized additional debt issuance costs of $2.6 million in connection with the refinancing that will be expensed over the life of the term loan. Furthermore, the Company capitalized an additional $1.1 million of debt issuance costs related to the refinancing of the revolving loan facility. These costs were amortized over the life of the agreement on a straight-line basis. At December 31, 2013, the interest rate on the term loan was 5.0%.
	Foreign debt
	At September 26, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has recorded $8.8 million and $11.3 million, respectively, in foreign debt obligations, including various overdraft facilities and term loans. The largest foreign debt balances are held by the Company’s subsidiaries in Germany (approximately $6.1 million and $6.8 million as of September 26, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively) and Mexico (approximately $0.8 million and $2.7 million as of September 26, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively). These various foreign loans are comprised of individual outstanding obligations ranging from approximately $0.1 million to $2.7 million and $0.1 million to $3.0 million as of September 26, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

	On June 30, 2014, the Company held a special meeting in lieu of the 2014 Annual Meeting of the Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) where the Business Combination was approved by the Company’s shareholders. At the Special Meeting, 21,870,040 shares of the Company’s common stock were voted in favor of the proposal to approve the Business Combination and no shares of the Company’s common stock were voted against that proposal. In connection with the closing, the Company redeemed a total of 2,542,667 shares of its common stock pursuant to the terms of the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, resulting in a total payment to redeeming shareholders of $26.1 million.

Share Based Compensation	'
	10	Share Based Compensation
	The Company recognizes compensation expense based on estimated grant date fair values for all share-based awards issued to employees and directors, including restricted stock units and performance share units, which are restricted stock units with vesting conditions contingent upon achieving certain performance goals. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based awards based on assumptions as of the grant date. The Company recognizes these compensation costs for only those awards expected to vest, on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of three years for restricted stock awards and the performance period for performance share units. The Company estimates the number of awards expected to vest based, in part, on historical forfeiture rates and also based on management’s expectations of employee turnover within the specific employee groups receiving each type of award. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
	2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan
	In connection with the approval of the Business Combination, the 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2014 Plan”) was approved by shareholders to provide incentives to key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Awards under the 2014 Plan are generally not restricted to any specific form or structure and could include, without limitation, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance awards, other stock-based awards, and other cash-based awards. There were 3,473,435 shares of common stock reserved and authorized for issuance under the 2014 Plan. At September 26, 2014, there were 1,026,532 shares of common stock authorized and available for grant under the 2014 Plan.
	Share Based Compensation Expense
	Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors approved an initial grant under the 2014 Plan to certain executive officers, senior management employees, and the Board of Directors. The total compensation expense related to the 2014 Plan was $2.1 million for the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014. The income tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense was $0.8 million for the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014. As of September 26, 2014, $17.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to share-based compensation plans is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years. The total unrecognized share-based compensation expense to be recognized in future periods as of September 26, 2014 does not consider the effect of share-based awards that may be issued in subsequent periods.
	General Terms of Awards
	The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has discretion to establish the terms and conditions for grants, including the number of shares, vesting and required service or other performance criteria. Restricted stock unit and performance share unit awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting, subject in some cases to early vesting or continued eligibility for vesting upon specified events, including death or permanent disability of the grantee, termination of the grantee’s employment under certain circumstances or a change in control of the Company. Dividend equivalents on common stock are accrued for restricted stock units and performance share units granted to employees and paid in the form of cash or stock depending on the form of the dividend, at the same time that the shares of common stock underlying the restricted stock unit are delivered to the employee. All restricted stock units and performance share units granted to employees are payable in shares of common stock and are classified as equity awards.
	The rights granted to the recipient of employee restricted stock unit awards generally vest annually in equal installments on the anniversary of the grant date over the restriction or vesting period, which is generally three years. Vested restricted stock units are payable in common stock within a thirty day period following the vesting date. The Company records compensation expense of restricted stock unit awards based on the fair value of the awards at the date of grant ratably over the period during which the restrictions lapse.
	Performance share unit awards based on cumulative performance metrics are payable at the end of their respective performance period in common stock. The number of share units awarded can range from zero to 150% depending on achievement of a targeted performance metric, and are payable in common stock within a thirty day period following the end of the performance period. The Company expenses the cost of the performance-based share unit awards based on the fair value of the awards at the date of grant and the estimated achievement of the performance metric, ratably over the performance period of three years.
	Performance share unit awards based on achievement of certain established stock price targets are payable in common stock as the last sales price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds established stock price targets in any twenty trading days within a thirty trading day period during the performance period. The Company expenses the cost of the stock price-based performance share unit awards based on the fair value of the awards at the date of grant ratably over the derived service period of the award.
	The Company also issues restricted stock units as share-based compensation for members of the Board of Directors. Director restricted stock units vest one year from the date of grant. In the event of termination of a member’s service on the Board of Directors prior to a vesting date, all unvested restricted stock units of such holder will be forfeited. Vested restricted stock units are delivered to members of the Board of Directors six months following the termination of their directorship. All awards granted are payable in shares of common stock or cash payment equal to the fair market value of the shares at the discretion of our Compensation Committee, and are classified as equity awards due to their expected settlement in common stock. Compensation expense for these awards is measured based upon the fair value of the awards at the date of grant. Dividend equivalents on common stock are accrued for restricted stock units awarded to the Board of Directors and paid in the form of cash or stock depending on the form of the dividend, at the same time that the shares of common stock underlying the restricted stock unit are delivered to a member of the Board of Directors following the termination of their directorship.
	Restricted Stock Units
	Nonvested restricted stock unit awards as of September 26, 2014, and changes during the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014 were as follows:

As of September 26, 2014, there was $7.2 million of unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to 762,075 restricted stock unit awards, with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $10.50, that are expected to vest over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the Company’s stock price on the grant date.
	Performance Share Units
	Nonvested performance share unit awards as of September 26, 2014, and changes during the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014, were as follows:

	EBITDA Vesting Awards
	During the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014, 1,215,704 performance share unit awards were granted to certain executive officers and senior management employees, payable upon the achievement of certain established cumulative Adjusted EBITDA performance targets over a three year performance period. The performance period for the shares awarded during the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014 is July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017. Distributions under these awards are payable at the end of the performance period in common stock. The total potential payouts for awards granted during the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014 range from 0 to 1,215,704 shares, should certain performance targets be achieved. The fair value of these awards was determined based on the Company’s stock price on the date of grant, which was $10.49 per share. These awards are subject to forfeiture upon termination of employment prior to vesting, subject in some cases to early vesting or continued eligibility for vesting upon specified events, including death, permanent disability or retirement of the grantee or a change in control of the Company.
	Compensation expense for cumulative Adjusted EBITDA based performance share unit awards granted during the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014 is currently being recognized based on estimated payout of 100% of target, or 810,469 shares. Compensation expense related to performance share unit awards for the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014 was $0.7 million. As of September 26, 2014, there was $7.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to performance share unit awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years.
	Stock Price Vesting Awards
	In addition, during the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014, 810,469 performance share unit awards were granted to certain executive officers and senior management employees, payable upon the achievement of certain established stock price targets for the Company’s common stock during a three year performance period. The performance period for the shares awarded during the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014 is July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2017. Distributions under these awards are payable in common stock as the last sales price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds established stock price targets in any twenty trading days within a thirty trading day period during the performance period. The weighted-average fair value of stock price based performance awards granted during the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014 was $3.54 per share, and was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation assuming an average risk-free interest rate of 0.88%, expected volatility of 17%, and zero dividends. The expected volatility was derived from the closing market price of the Company’s exchange traded warrants to purchase common stock as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average derived service period for stock price based performance awards granted during the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014 was 1.7 years.
	Compensation expense related to stock price based performance share unit awards for the period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014 was $0.6 million. As of September 26, 2014, there was $2.3 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to performance share unit awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years.
	Share Based Compensation (Predecessor)
	Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, Jason Partners Holdings LLC (Jason LLC), the former parent company of Jason, had granted various classes of its common units to certain executives and directors of Jason. In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, compensation cost related to the units granted was recognized in Jason’s financial statements over the vesting period. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, all unvested units became fully vested and Jason recognized $7.6 million of compensation expense during the predecessor period from June 28, 2014 to June 29, 2014. During the predecessor period from January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014, Jason recognized $7.7 million of stock-based compensation expense, and the related income tax benefit was $2.5 million.

	Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Jason Industries’ common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In computing dilutive income (loss) per share, basic income (loss) per share is adjusted for the assumed issuance of all potentially dilutive share-based awards, including warrants, restricted stock units, performance share units, convertible preferred stock, and Rollover Shares of JPHI convertible into shares of Jason Industries.
	The reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted income (loss) per share calculation and the anti-dilutive shares is as follows:

	At the end of each three month period, the Company estimates a base effective tax rate expected for the full year based on the most recent forecast of pre-tax income, permanent book and tax differences, and global tax planning strategies. The Company uses this base rate to provide for income taxes on a year-to-date basis, excluding the effect of significant, unusual, discrete or extraordinary items, and items that are reported net of their related tax effects. The Company records the tax effect of significant, unusual, discrete or extraordinary items, and items that are reported net of their tax effects in the period in which they occur.
	The tax benefits as a percentage of income before income taxes for the predecessor period January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014 and the predecessor period June 28, 2014 through June 29, 2014 were 10.4% and 24.0%, respectively. The tax benefit as a percentage of income before income taxes for the successor period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014 was 37.9%. The Company’s tax benefit is impacted by a number of factors, including, among others, the amount of taxable earnings derived in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates that are lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, permanent items, state tax rates, and the ability to utilize net operating loss carry forwards. The Company recognized a net discrete tax benefit of $2.5 million for the predecessor period January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014. Net discrete tax expense was immaterial for the predecessor period June 28, 2014 through June 29, 2014 and the successor period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014. Net discrete tax expense was immaterial for the three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2013.
	The tax benefits as a percentage of income before income taxes for the predecessor period January 1, 2014 through June 29, 2014 and the predecessor period June 28, 2014 through June 29, 2014 were lower than the U.S federal statutory rate primarily due to non-deductible transaction related costs. The tax benefit as a percentage of income before income taxes for the successor period June 30, 2014 through September 26, 2014 was higher than the U.S federal statutory rate due to the overall projection of pre-tax losses, which includes pre-tax earnings in foreign jurisdictions with lower income tax rates. The comparable percentages for the three and nine month periods ended September 27, 2013 did not differ significantly from the U.S. federal statutory rate.
	The amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits was $2.5 million and $3.7 million at September 26, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Of the $2.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits, $1.1 million would reduce the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.
	During the next twelve months, the Company does not expect any significant changes in its unrecognized tax benefits. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to tax matters in tax expense. Accrued interest and penalties were immaterial at September 26, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

	The Company identifies its segments using the “management approach,” which designates the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the company’s reportable segments. The Company has four reportable segments: Seating, Finishing, Acoustics and Components.

	The Company uses “Adjusted EBITDA” as the primary measure of profit or loss for the purposes of assessing the operating performance of its segments. The Company defines EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization and (gain)/loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, excluding the impact of non-cash or non-operational losses or gains, including long-lived asset impairment charges, integration and other operational restructuring charges, transactional legal fees, other professional fees and special employee bonuses, Newcomerstown fire losses and gains, multiemployer pension plan withdrawal expense (gain), purchase accounting adjustments and Management Services Agreement fees and expenses.
	Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides a clear picture of the Company’s operating results by eliminating expenses and income that are not reflective of the underlying business performance. Certain corporate-level administrative expenses such as payroll and benefits, incentive compensation, travel, marketing, accounting, auditing and legal fees and certain other expenses are kept within its corporate results and not allocated to its business segments. Adjusted EBITDA is used to facilitate a comparison of the Company’s operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period and to analyze the factors and trends affecting its segments. The Company’s internal plans, budgets and forecasts use Adjusted EBITDA as a key metric. In addition, this measure is used to evaluate its operating performance and segment operating performance and to determine the level of incentive compensation paid to its employees.
	As the Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as its primary measure of segment performance, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) on segment reporting require the Company to include this measure in its discussion of segment operating results. The Company must also reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to operating results presented on a US GAAP basis.
	Adjusted EBITDA information relating to the Company’s reportable segments is presented below followed by a reconciliation of total segment Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated income before taxes:

Litigation and Contingencies	'
	14	Litigation and Contingencies
	The Company is a party to various legal proceedings that have arisen in the normal course of its business. These legal proceedings typically include product liability, labor, and employment claims. The Company has recorded reserves for loss contingencies based on the specific circumstances of each case. Such reserves are recorded when it is probable that a loss has been incurred as of the balance sheet date, can be reasonably estimated and is not covered by insurance. In the opinion of management, the resolution of these contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
	At September 26, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company held reserves of $1.1 million for environmental matters at two locations. The ultimate cost of any remediation required will depend on the results of future investigation. Based upon available information, the Company believes that it has obtained and is in substantial compliance with those material environmental permits and approvals necessary to conduct its business. Based on the facts presently known, the Company does not expect environmental costs to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

	15	Newcomerstown Fire
	On November 27, 2011, the Company experienced a fire at an acoustics segment facility in Newcomerstown, Ohio (“Newcomerstown”). No one was injured as a result of the fire. Newcomerstown was comprised of approximately 93,000 square feet in one leased building with an additional 38,000 square foot expansion in process. Newcomerstown employed 103 employees prior to the accident. The fire destroyed the entire leased facility and its contents. Newcomerstown manufactured non-woven acoustical fiber insulation for the automotive industry. During 2012, the Company commenced a lease of a facility in Battle Creek, Michigan as a replacement to the Newcomerstown, Ohio location and reached pre-accident production levels at this location during the three months ended September 27, 2013.
	The Company negotiated a final settlement with its insurance carrier related to this incident during the three months ended September 27, 2013 and received its final insurance payment during the three months ended December 31, 2013. Other than future payments of liabilities recorded to third parties, the Company finalized its accounting for the incident during the three months ended December 31, 2013. As a result, there were no expenses (income) during the three and nine months ended September 26, 2014. For the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013, the Company recorded the following expenses (income) related to the incident:
		Three Months Ended September 27, 2013			Nine Months Ended September 27, 2013
	Business interruption expenses and deductibles	$	4,781		$	12,100
	Less insurance recoveries:

	Business interruption	(14,348		)	(24,583		)
	Subtotal insurance recoveries	(18,772		)	(30,934		)
	Net fire gain	$	(13,991	)	$	(18,834	)
	Through the date of the settlement mentioned above, the Company has recorded insurance recoveries in the amount of $61.9 million of which $26.9 million related to property and $35.0 million related to business interruption. The Company has recorded $0.6 million and $1.0 million of liabilities for estimated expenses to be paid as of September 26, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company recorded gains of $9.6 million and $12.5 million associated with business interruption expenses, net of recovery for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013, respectively, and gains of $4.4 million and $6.4 million from involuntary conversion of property, plant and equipment for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2013, respectively.

Basis of presentation	'
	The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2013 was derived from Jason’s audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. For additional information, including the Company’s significant accounting policies, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with (i) the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and (ii) Jason’s consolidated financial statements and related footnotes thereto for the periods ended December 31, 2013, 2012, and 2011 included in the Company’s Definitive Proxy filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 16, 2014.
Recently issued accounting standards	'
	In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how reporting entities must disclose going-concern uncertainties in their financial statements. The new standard requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements (or within one year after the date on which the financial statements are available to be issued, when applicable). Further, an entity must provide certain disclosures if there is substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter; early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
