Eiss Brothers, Inc.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Operations
Eiss Brothers, Inc. (the “Company”), a New York corporation, engages primarily in auto recycling, which is the recovery and resale of original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and aftermarket parts, components and systems, such as engines, transmissions, door assemblies, trunk lids, lights and fenders (referred to as “products”) reclaimed from damaged, totaled or low value vehicles. The Company purchases its vehicles primarily at auto salvage auctions. Upon receipt of vehicles, the Company inventories and then dismantles the vehicles and sells the recycled components. In addition, the Company purchases recycled OEM and related products from third parties for resale and distribution to its customers. The Company’s customers include collision repair shops (body shops), mechanical repair shops, auto dealerships and individual retail customers. The Company also generates a portion of its revenue from the sale as scrap of the unusable parts and materials and from the sale of extended warranty contracts. The Company operates a full service recycling facility in Watertown, New York.
On May 19, 2015, the Company was acquired by Fenix Parts, Inc. The acquisition did not include the capital stock of Eiss Brothers Partnership (“EBP”).
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in Fenix Parts, Inc.’s prospectus dated May 14, 2015. The Company continues to follow the accounting policies set forth in those consolidated financial statements. Management believes that these consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2015 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of annual results. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EBP, the lessor of the premises from which the Company operates. EBP is wholly-owned by the Company’s shareholders. The Company has determined that EBP is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) because the holders of the equity investment at risk in EBP do not have the obligation to absorb its expected losses or receive its residual returns. Furthermore, the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the EBP because the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact its economic performance, namely the operation and maintenance of the significant assets of EBP. Accordingly, and pursuant to consolidation requirements under GAAP, the Company consolidates EBP. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. All of EBP’s operating results are attributable to the noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and all of their shareholders’ equity is reported separately from the Company’s shareholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
6
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of vehicle replacement products and scrap when they are shipped or picked up by the customers and ownership has transferred, subject to an allowance for estimated returns and discounts that management estimates based upon historical information. Management analyzes historical returns (often pursuant to standard warranties on the sold products) and allowances activity by comparing the items returned to the original invoice amounts and dates. The Company uses this information to project future returns and allowances on products sold. If actual returns and allowances deviate from the Company’s historical experience, there could be an impact on its operating results in the period of occurrence. The Company has recorded a reserve for estimated returns, discounts and allowances of approximately $109,000 at March 31, 2015 and $104,000 at December 31, 2014, within accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
The Company presents taxes assessed by governmental authorities collected from customers on a net basis. Therefore, the taxes are excluded from revenue on the consolidated statements of operations and are shown as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets until remitted. Revenue also includes amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling.
Revenue from the sale of separately priced extended warranty contracts is reported as deferred revenue and recognized ratably over the term of the contracts. Revenue from such extended warranty contracts was approximately $51,000 and $42,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold primarily includes a) amounts paid for the purchase of vehicles, scrap, parts for resale and related products, b) related auction, storage and towing fees, and c) other costs of procurement and dismantling, primarily labor and overhead allocable to dismantling operations.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses are primarily comprised of a) salaries and benefits of employees that are not related to the procurement and dismantling of vehicles, b) facility costs such as rent, utilities, insurance, repairs and taxes not allocated to dismantling operations, c) selling and marketing costs, d) costs to distribute the Company’s products and scrap and e) other general and administrative costs.
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The majority of cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several major financial institutions. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited because a large number of customers make up the Company’s customer base. The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures.
The Company primarily obtains its recycled OEM and related products from damaged, totaled or low value vehicles purchased at salvage auto auctions. For 2015 and 2014, substantially all of the vehicles purchased by the Company for dismantling were acquired at auctions run by two salvage auto auction companies.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit to customers after a review of each customer’s credit history. The Company recorded a reserve for uncollectible accounts of approximately $9,000 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The reserve is based upon management’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts, the aging of the accounts receivable and historical experience. Receivables are written off once collection efforts have been exhausted. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.
Inventories
Inventories consist entirely of recycled OEM and aftermarket products, including car hulls and other materials that will be sold as scrap. Inventory costs are established based upon the price the Company pays for a vehicle, including auction, storage and towing fees, as well as expenditures for buying and dismantling vehicles. After dismantling, the cost assigned to the salvaged parts and scrap is determined using the average cost of sales percentage at the Company and applying that percentage to the Company’s inventory at expected selling prices. The average cost to sales percentage is derived from the Company’s historical vehicle profitability for salvage vehicles purchased at auction or procured from other sources.
7
For all inventories, carrying value is recorded at the lower of cost or market and is reduced to reflect the age of the products and current anticipated demand. If actual demand differs from the Company’s estimates, additional reductions to inventory carrying value would be necessary in the period such determination is made.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. As property and equipment are sold or retired, the applicable cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss thereon is recognized. Depreciation and amortization expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled approximately $29,000 and $27,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Approximately $838,000 and $847,000 of property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, was held by EBP as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:
| | | | |
Buildings | | | 39 years | |
Building improvements | | | 15 years | |
Equipment | | | 3-10 years | |
Vehicles | | | 5 years | |
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable based on an analysis of undiscounted cash flows. There were no such events or changes in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to operate under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. EBP is taxed as a partnership. Accordingly, the shareholders report their share of the Company’s federal and most state taxable income or loss on their respective individual income tax returns.
The Company recognizes the benefits of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns in the provision for income taxes only for those positions that are more likely than not to be realized. The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014, is generally no longer subject to examination in its primary tax jurisdictions for tax years through 2011 and is not currently subject to any audits or examinations. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties associated with income tax obligations in income tax expense.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities are defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market at the measurement date (exit price). The Company is required to classify fair value measurements in one of the following categories:
| • | | Level 1 - inputs which are defined as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
| • | | Level 2 - inputs which are defined as inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. |
| • | | Level 3 - inputs are defined as unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. |
8
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis; however, the Company has no assets or liabilities that require recurring fair value measurements. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company’s debt and shareholder note receivable are carried at cost and approximates fair value due to its variable or fixed interest rates, which are consistent with the interest rates in the market.
The Company may be required, on a non-recurring basis, to adjust the carrying value of the Company’s property and equipment. When necessary, these valuations are determined by the Company using Level 3 inputs. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence that impairment may exist. There have been no indicators of impairment during 2015 or 2014.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-02,Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which modifies the evaluation of VIEs, and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities involved with VIEs. This guidance for nonpublic entities is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205,Presentation of Financial Statements, to describe management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. This guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The Company does not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance in this update supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and creates a single, principle-based revenue recognition framework that is codified in a new FASB ASC Topic 606. The core principle of this guidance is for the recognition of revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new revenue standard is effective for nonpublic entities’ annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for nonpublic entities. The new standard allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the potential effects of the adoption of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2014-08,Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205,Presentation of Financial Statements, and FASB ASC Topic 360,Property, Plant, and Equipment. This standard amends the definition of a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2015. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Lease
Rental expense for operating leases was approximately $5,000 and $2,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Future minimum lease commitments under operating leases are insignificant.
Environmental and Related Contingencies
The Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations incident to the ordinary course of business. The Company currently expects that the resolution of any potential contingencies arising from compliance with these laws and regulations will not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 6. Shareholder Notes Receivable
In 2012, after borrowing an equal amount of funds under the term loan described in Note 4, the Company loaned one of its shareholders $155,000 in the form of a note receivable. Interest on the note is fixed at 5.75%, and, along with the principal, is payable monthly through maturity in May 2027. The total outstanding balance on the note, including current portion included in other current assets, was approximately $123,000 and $126,000 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Interest income was approximately $2,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. This notes receivable was satisfied in full in May 2015, prior to the close of the acquisition.
Note 7. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company provides a defined contribution plan covering eligible employees, which includes matching and discretionary profit sharing contributions. Company contributions to this plan were approximately $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
Note 8. Subsequent Event
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 4, 2015, which is the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. All subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure have been incorporated into these consolidated financial statements.
As described in Note 1, on May 19, 2015, the Company was purchased by Fenix Parts, Inc. (“Fenix”) for an approximate purchase price of $8.9 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments. EBP was not purchased, but the owners of EBP entered into a lease agreement with Fenix for certain properties on which Fenix now conducts its automotive recycling business. Also, the Company paid off the debt described in Note 4 prior to the acquisition by Fenix.

Green Oak Investments LLC d/b/a GO Auto Recycling
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Operations
Green Oak Investments LLC d/b/a GO Auto Recycling (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, engages primarily in auto recycling, which is the recovery and resale of original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and aftermarket parts, components and systems, such as engines, transmissions, door assemblies, trunk lids, lights and fenders (referred to as “products”) reclaimed from damaged, totaled or low value vehicles. The Company purchases its vehicles primarily at auto salvage auctions. Upon receipt of vehicles, the Company inventories and then dismantles the vehicles and sells the recycled components. In addition, the Company purchases recycled OEM and related products from third parties for resale and distribution to its customers. The Company’s customers include collision repair shops (body shops), mechanical repair shops, auto dealerships and individual retail customers. The Company also generates a portion of its revenue from the sale as scrap of the unusable parts and materials and from the sale of extended warranty contracts. The Company operates a full-service recycling facility in Jacksonville, Florida.
On May 19, 2015, the Company, except for certain property assets, was acquired by Fenix Parts, Inc. As part of the acquisition, Fenix Parts, Inc. also acquired a 5% interest in Go Pull-It, LLC (see Note 6), a company under common control, and an option to purchase the remaining 95% interest.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in Fenix Parts, Inc.’s prospectus dated May 14, 2015. The Company continues to follow the accounting policies set forth in those financial statements. Management believes that these interim financial statements include all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2015 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of annual results.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of vehicle replacement products and scrap when they are shipped or picked up by the customers and ownership has transferred, subject to an allowance for estimated returns, discounts and allowances that management estimates based upon historical information. Management analyzes historical returns (often pursuant to standard warranties on the sold products) and allowances activity by comparing the items to the original invoice amounts and dates. The Company uses this information to project returns and allowances on products sold. If actual returns and allowances are higher than the Company’s historical experience, there would be an adverse impact on its operating results in the period of occurrence. The Company has recorded a reserve for estimated returns, discounts and allowances of approximately $133,000 and $107,000 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, within accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
The Company presents taxes assessed by governmental authorities collected from customers on a net basis. Therefore, the taxes are excluded from revenue on the statements of operations and are shown as a current liability on the balance sheets until remitted. Revenue also includes amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling.
Revenue from the sale of separately priced extended warranty contracts is reported as deferred revenue and recognized ratably over the term of the contracts. Revenue from such extended warranty contracts was approximately $60,000 and $33,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
16
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold primarily includes a) amounts paid for the purchase of vehicles and parts for resale, b) related auction, storage and towing fees, and c) other cost of procurement and dismantling, primarily labor and overhead allocable to dismantling operations.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses are primarily comprised of a) salaries and benefits of employees that are not related to the procurement and dismantling of vehicles, b) facility costs such as rent, utilities, insurance, repairs and taxes not allocated to dismantling operations, c) selling and marketing costs, d) costs to distribute products and scrap and e) other general and administrative costs.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit to customers after a review of each customer’s credit history. The Company recorded a reserve for uncollectible accounts of approximately $27,000 and $35,000 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The reserve is based upon the aging of the accounts receivable, the Company’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts and historical experience. Receivables are written off once collection efforts have been exhausted, and recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The majority of cash and cash equivalents are maintained with major financial institutions. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited because a large number of customers make up the Company’s customer base. The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures.
The Company primarily obtains its recycled OEM and related products from damaged, totaled or low value vehicles purchased at salvage auto auctions. For 2015 and 2014, substantially all of the vehicles purchased by the Company for dismantling were acquired at auctions run by two salvage auto auction companies.
Inventories
Inventories consist entirely of recycled OEM and aftermarket products, including car hulls and other materials that will be sold as scrap. Inventory costs are established based upon the price the Company pays for a vehicle, including auction, storage and towing fees, as well as expenditures for buying and dismantling vehicles. After dismantling, the cost assigned to the salvaged parts and scrap is determined using the average cost of sales percentage at the Company and applying that percentage to the Company’s inventory at expected selling prices. The average cost to sales percentage is derived from the Company’s historical vehicle profitability for salvage vehicles purchased at auction or procured from other sources.
For all inventories, carrying value is recorded at the lower of cost or market and is reduced to reflect the age of the products and current anticipated demand. If actual demand differs from the Company’s estimates, additional reductions to inventory carrying value would be necessary in the period such determination is made.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. As property and equipment are sold or retired, the applicable cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss thereon is recognized. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Depreciation totaled approximately $9,400 and $8,300 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:
| | | | |
Buildings | | | 39 years | |
Equipment | | | 10 years | |
Computer servers | | | 5 years | |
Trucks and trailers | | | 5 years | |
17
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable based on an analysis of undiscounted cash flows. There were no such events or changes in the three months ended March 31, 2015 or 2014.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a partnership under the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the members report their share of the Company’s federal and state taxable income or loss on their respective individual income tax returns.
The Company recognizes the benefits of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns in the provision for income taxes only for those positions that are more likely than not to be realized. The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014. The Company is generally no longer subject to examination in its primary tax jurisdictions for tax years through 2011 and is not currently subject to any audits or examinations. Should any interest or penalties accrue on uncertain tax positions, the Company would record such expense in income tax expense.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities are defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market at the measurement date (exit price). The Company is required to classify fair value measurements in one of the following categories:
| • | | Level 1 - inputs which are defined as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
| • | | Level 2 - inputs which are defined as inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. |
| • | | Level 3 - inputs are defined as unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. |
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis; however, the Company has no assets or liabilities that require recurring fair value measurements. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company’s debt is carried at cost and approximates fair value due to its variable or fixed interest rates, which are consistent with the interest rates in the market.
The Company may be required, on a non-recurring basis, to adjust the carrying value of its property and equipment. When necessary, these valuations are determined by the Company using Level 3 inputs. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence that impairment may exist. There have been no indicators of impairment during 2015 or 2014.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-02,Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which modifies the evaluation of variable interest entities (“VIEs”), and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities involved with VIEs. This guidance for nonpublic entities is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial statements.
18
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205,Presentation of Financial Statements, to describe management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. This guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The Company does not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance in this update supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and creates a single, principle-based revenue recognition framework that is codified in a new FASB ASC Topic 606. The core principle of this guidance is for the recognition of revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new revenue standard is effective for nonpublic entities’ annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for nonpublic entities. The new standard allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the potential effects of the adoption of the new standard on its financial statements.
In April 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08,Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which amends FASB ASC Topic 205,Presentation of Financial Statements, and FASB ASC Topic 360,Property, Plant, and Equipment. This standard amends the definition of a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2015. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

During 2014, the Company satisfied three of its 5-year term equipment loans, and entered into one new 5-year term equipment loan at a fixed rate of 4.75%, secured by the underlying equipment. At December 31, 2013, the Synovus Bank equipment loans included four 5-year term loans used to fund the purchase of several different vehicles and equipment. The four loans bore interest at fixed rates of 4.15% or 4.50%, were due in 2018 with monthly installments of principal and interest and were secured by the underlying vehicles and equipment. These loans were further secured by personal guarantees of two of the members of the Company. Three of these loans were entered into on behalf of, and then advanced to, the related party described in Note 6. The vehicles and equipment underlying such loans are recorded on the related party’s financial statements. In the quarter ended March 31, 2015, the Company entered into another 5-year term equipment loan at a fixed rate of 4.75%.
19
The Company also has a revolving line of credit with Synovus Bank which was established on June 7, 2012 and provides for a maximum borrowing of $200,000 and expires on June 7, 2017. Future advances are at the lender’s discretion. The line of credit bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 5.0% until the index rate changes as defined in the credit agreement. This line of credit is secured by the accounts receivable and inventories of the Company, and is further secured by personal guarantees of two of the members of the Company. There were no borrowings under this line of credit as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental and Related Contingencies
The Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations incident to the ordinary course of business. The Company currently expects that the resolution of any potential contingencies arising from compliance with these laws and regulations will not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 6. Related-party Transactions
GO Pull-It LLC
GO Pull-It LLC (“LLC”) was organized in 2012 by the owners of the Company and operates a self-service auto parts business. The Company has no direct ownership or voting rights in LLC. The Company has determined that LLC is a VIE as it has required subordinated financial support for its operations, including the Company’s loans and guarantee described below. However, the Company has no other business activities with LLC and its loans and guarantee are significantly smaller than the amount of equity, loans and guarantees made directly by certain of the Company’s members who are also the majority members of LLC. Accordingly, the Company determined that certain of the members of the Company and LLC were more closely related to LLC than was the Company itself. As such, the Company does not deem itself to be the primary beneficiary of LLC and does not consolidate LLC.
In 2013, after borrowing an equal amount of funds under the equipment loans described in Note 4, the Company loaned approximately $79,000 to LLC. Interest on the notes was at fixed rates of 4.15% or 4.50%, and, along with the principal, was payable monthly through 2018. The notes were satisfied in 2014. Additionally, the Company guarantees another LLC note payable with outstanding balances of $103,000 and $109,000 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The Company does not expect to incur any losses under this guarantee.
The Company had sales to LLC of $18,100 and $56,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company had purchases from LLC of $4,000 and $11,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In addition, at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had receivables of $7,200 and $30,000, respectively, from LLC which were included within accounts receivable. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company owed $4,500 and $2,000, respectively, to LLC which were included within accounts payable.
Mervis Industries (“Mervis”)
Mervis indirectly owns a significant portion of the Company. In addition to the below debt, the Company paid fees of approximately $7,500 to Mervis for accounting and other services in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
20
The mortgage due to Mervis is a term loan due in monthly installments of $6,600 with 5.0% annual fixed interest, due through August 2031. The loan is secured by the underlying property. Interest expense on this debt was approximately $11,500 and $11,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
The Company also has a line of credit with Mervis. The line has a borrowing capacity of $200,000 and is due on demand. The line is unsecured and does not have any covenants. The balance of the related party line of credit was $120,000 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Interest expense on this debt was approximately $1,500 and $1,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Note 7. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 4, 2015, which is the date these financial statements were available to be issued. All subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure have been incorporated into these financial statements.
As described in Note 1, on May 19, 2015, the Company was purchased by Fenix Parts, Inc. (“Fenix”) for an approximate purchase price of $6.9 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments. Certain property assets of the Company were not purchased, but the owners of the Company, prior to the Fenix purchase, entered into a lease agreement with Fenix for the use of these property assets on which Fenix now conducts its automotive recycling business. Also, the Company paid off all the debt described in Note 4 prior to the acquisition by Fenix.

Jerry Brown, Ltd.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Operations
Jerry Brown, Ltd. (the “Company”), a New York corporation, engages primarily in auto recycling, which is the recovery and resale of original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and aftermarket parts, components and systems, such as engines, transmissions, door assemblies, trunk lids, lights and fenders, (referred to as “products”) reclaimed from damaged, totaled or low value vehicles. The Company purchases its vehicles primarily at auto salvage auctions. Upon receipt of vehicles, the Company inventories the vehicles then dismantles and sells the recycled components. In addition, the Company purchases recycled OEM parts, new parts and related products from third parties for resale and distribution to its customers. The Company’s customers include collision repair shops (body shops), mechanical repair shops, auto dealerships and individual retail customers. The Company also generates a portion of revenue from the scrap sales of the unusable parts and materials and from the sale of extended warranty contracts. The Company operates a full-service recycling facility in Queensbury, New York.
On May 19, 2015, the Company was acquired by Fenix Parts, Inc. The acquisition did not include the capital stock of the LLCs (as defined below).
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in Fenix Parts, Inc.’s prospectus dated May 14, 2015. The Company continues to follow the accounting policies set forth in those consolidated financial statements. Management believes that these consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2015 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of annual results. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SBLB Properties, LLC, SBLB Properties II, LLC, and JBAP Properties LLC (collectively the “LLCs”), the lessors of the premises from which the Company operates. The LLCs are wholly-owned by the Company’s shareholders. The Company has determined that the LLCs are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) because the holders of the equity investment at risk in these three entities do not have the obligation to absorb their expected losses or receive their residual returns. Furthermore, the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the LLCs because the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the LLCs’ economic performance, namely the operation and maintenance of the significant assets of the LLCs. Accordingly, and pursuant to consolidation requirements under GAAP, the Company consolidates the LLCs. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. All of the LLCs operating results are attributable to the non-controlling interests in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and all of their shareholders’ equity is reported separately from the Company’s shareholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
26
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of vehicle replacement products and scrap when they are shipped or picked up by the customers and ownership has transferred, subject to an allowance for estimated returns and discounts that management estimates based upon historical information. Management analyzes historical returns (often pursuant to standard warranties on the sold products) and allowances activity by comparing the items returned to the original invoice amounts and dates. The Company uses this information to project future returns and allowances on products sold. If actual returns and allowances deviate from the Company’s historical experience, there could be an impact on its operating results in the period of occurrence. The Company has recorded a reserve for estimated returns, discounts and allowances of approximately $131,000 at March 31, 2015 and $57,000 at December 31, 2014 within accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
The Company presents taxes assessed by governmental authorities collected from customers on a net basis. Therefore, the taxes are excluded from revenue on the consolidated statements of operations and are shown as a current liability on the consolidated balance sheets until remitted. Revenue also includes amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling.
Revenue from the sale of separately priced extended warranty contracts is reported as deferred revenue and recognized ratably over the term of the contracts. Revenue from such extended warranty contracts was approximately $37,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and $35,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold primarily includes a) amounts paid for the purchase of vehicles, scrap, parts for resale and related products, b) related auction, storage and towing fees, and c) other costs of procurement and dismantling, primarily labor and overhead allocable to dismantling operations.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses are primarily comprised of a) salaries and benefits of employees that are not related to the procurement and dismantling of vehicles, b) facility costs such as rent, utilities, insurance, repairs and taxes not allocated to dismantling operations, c) selling and marketing costs, d) costs to distribute the Company’s products and scrap and e) other general and administrative costs.
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The majority of cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several major financial institutions. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited because a large number of customers make up the Company’s customer base. The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures.
The Company primarily obtains its recycled OEM and related products from damaged, totaled or low value vehicles purchased at salvage auto auctions. For 2015 and 2014, substantially all of the vehicles purchased by the Company for dismantling were acquired at auctions run by two salvage auto auction companies.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit to customers after a review of each customer’s credit history. The Company recorded a reserve for uncollectible accounts of approximately $8,000 at March 31, 2015 and $20,000 as of December 31, 2014. The reserve is based upon management’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts, the aging of the accounts receivable and historical experience. Receivables are written off once collection efforts have been exhausted. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.
Inventories
Inventories consist entirely of recycled OEM and aftermarket products, including car hulls and other materials that will be sold as scrap. Inventory costs are established based upon the price the Company pays for a vehicle, including auction, storage and towing fees, as well as expenditures for buying and dismantling vehicles. After dismantling, the cost assigned to the salvaged parts and scrap is determined using the average cost of sales percentage at the Company and applying that percentage to the Company’s inventory at expected selling prices. The average cost to sales percentage is derived from the Company’s historical vehicle profitability for salvage vehicles purchased at auction or procured from other sources.
27
For all inventories, carrying value is recorded at the lower of cost or market and is reduced to reflect the age of the products and current anticipated demand. If actual demand differs from the Company’s estimates, additional reductions to inventory carrying value would be necessary in the period such determination is made.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. As property and equipment are sold or retired, the applicable cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss thereon is recognized. Depreciation and amortization expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled approximately $96,000 and $85,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Approximately $351,000 and $353,000 of property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, was held by the LLCs as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:
| | |
Land improvements | | 15 years |
Buildings | | 39 years |
Vehicles | | 5 years |
Machinery and equipment | | 10 years |
Computer equipment | | 3-5 years |
Office furniture and fixtures | | 7 years |
Leasehold improvements | | 10-15 years or life of lease, if shorter |
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable based on an analysis of undiscounted cash flows. There were no such events or changes in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to operate under Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, the shareholders and the LLCs’ owners report their share of the Company’s federal and most state taxable income or loss on their respective individual income tax returns.
The Company recognizes the benefits of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns in the provision for income taxes only for those positions that are more likely than not to be realized. The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties associated with income tax obligations in income tax expense.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities are defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market at the measurement date (exit price). The Company is required to classify fair value measurements in one of the following categories:
| • | | Level 1 - inputs which are defined as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
| • | | Level 2 - inputs which are defined as inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. |
| • | | Level 3 - inputs are defined as unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. |
28
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis; however, the Company has no assets or liabilities that require recurring fair value measurements. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company’s debt and shareholder note receivable are carried at cost and approximates fair value due to its variable or fixed interest rates, which are consistent with the interest rates in the market.
The Company may be required, on a non-recurring basis, to adjust the carrying value of the Company’s property and equipment. When necessary, these valuations are determined by the Company using Level 3 inputs. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence that impairment may exist. There have been no indicators of impairment during 2015 or 2014.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-02,Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which modifies the evaluation of VIEs, and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities involved with VIEs. This guidance for nonpublic entities is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205,Presentation of Financial Statements, to describe management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. This guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The Company does not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance in this update supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and creates a single, principle-based revenue recognition framework that is codified in a new FASB ASC Topic 606. The core principle of this guidance is for the recognition of revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new revenue standard is effective for nonpublic entities’ annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for nonpublic entities. The new standard allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the potential effects of the adoption of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2014-08,Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205,Presentation of Financial Statements, and FASB ASC Topic 360,Property, Plant, and Equipment. This standard amends the definition of a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2015. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform period presentation. The reclassifications have no impact on net income.

| | | | | | | | |
Long-term debt, net of current portion | | $ | 1,436,775 | | | $ | 1,482,883 | |
| | | | | | | | |
The Adirondack Trust Company vehicle and equipment loans include five loans with terms from three to five years used to fund the purchase of several different vehicles and equipment between 2010 and 2013. The five loans bear interest at annual fixed rates ranging from 4.25% to 5.8%, with a weighted average of 5.1%, mature between 2015 and 2017 with monthly installments of principal and interest and are secured by the underlying vehicles and equipment.
The Adirondack Trust Company building loan is a 10 year term loan with an original amount of $1,675,000 used towards the construction of a new warehouse. The note was entered into on September 11, 2013 and bears interest at an annual fixed rate of 4.25% until October 11, 2018 and then at a rate equal to the lender’s Base Lending Rate (currently 4.25%) until September 11, 2023. The first six monthly payments commenced on October 11, 2013 and consisted of interest only. Thereafter, principal and interest are paid monthly through September 11, 2023. The loan is secured by the underlying building.
Related party loan was a loan with an original amount of $48,588 used towards general funds of the business. The note was entered into prior to January 1, 2012 and bore interest at an annual fixed rate of 10.0% with no set term or maturity date. Interest was paid annually in the amount of $4,859. The note was fully paid in February 2015.
The aggregate annual principal payments for the next five years and thereafter of long-term debt at March 31, 2015 are summarized as follows:
| | | | |
Year ended December 31, | | | |
2015 (remainder of year) | | $ | 124,404 | |
2016 | | | 187,192 | |
2017 | | | 172,222 | |
2018 | | | 178,440 | |
2019 | | | 186,173 | |

Line of Credit
On September 11, 2013, the Company entered into a line of credit with The Adirondack Trust Company, with an initial borrowing capacity of $300,000. Interest on any outstanding balance is payable monthly at a variable rate based on Prime (3.25% at March 31, 2015). No balance was outstanding at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.
Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental and Related Contingencies
The Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations incident to the ordinary course of business. The Company currently expects that the resolution of any potential contingencies arising from compliance with these laws and regulations will not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 6. Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the effective tax rate was 27.0% and 11.3%, respectively. The effective tax rates differ from the statutory rate due to the impact of changes in uncertain tax positions.
The Company’s uncertain tax positions include positions related to the timing of certain deductions for income tax purposes. The related basis differences caused by this timing of deductions for income tax purposes and the timing of expense recognition for financial reporting purposes are reflected in the Company’s deferred income tax liabilities. However, interest and penalties are separately recorded for these uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense. The Company’s gross reserve for uncertain tax positions, including penalties and interest, as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, was approximately $1,836,000 and $1,811,000, respectively. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for all uncertain tax positions. The Company is generally no longer subject to examination in the Company’s primary tax jurisdiction for tax years through 2011. The Company is not currently subject to any audits or examinations. It is reasonably possible that new issues may be raised by tax authorities and that these issues may require increases in the balance of the reserve for uncertain tax positions.
Note 7. Employee Benefit Plans
The Company provides a defined contribution plan covering eligible employees, which includes a matching contribution. Matching Company contributions to this plan were approximately $55,000 and $85,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Note 8. Related-Party Transactions
For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company paid $18,000 to a family member of the owners for consulting services.
Note 9. Subsequent Event
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 4, 2015, which is the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. All subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure have been incorporated into these consolidated financial statements.
As described in Note 1, on May 19, 2015, the Company purchased by Fenix Parts, Inc. (“Fenix”) for an approximate purchase price of $16.5 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments. The LLCs were not purchased, but the owners of the LLCs entered into lease agreements with Fenix for certain properties on which Fenix now conducts its automotive recycling business. Also, the Company paid off all the debt described in Note 4 prior to the acquisition by Fenix.

Leesville Auto Wreckers, Inc.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Operations
Leesville Auto Wreckers, Inc. (the “Company”), a New Jersey corporation, engages primarily in auto recycling, which is the recovery and resale of original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) and aftermarket parts, components and systems, such as engines, transmissions, door assemblies, truck lids, lights and fenders, (referred to as “products”) reclaimed from damaged, totaled or low value vehicles. The Company also sells used cars and motorcycles. The Company purchases its vehicles primarily at auto salvage auctions. Upon receipt of vehicles, the Company inventories the vehicles then dismantles and sells the recycled components. In addition, the Company purchases recycled OEM and related products from third parties for resale and distribution to its customers. The Company’s customers include collision repair shops (body shops), mechanical repair shops, auto dealerships and individual retail customers. The Company also generates a portion of revenue from scrap sales of the unusable parts and materials. The Company operates a full-service recycling facility in Rahway, New Jersey.
On May 19, 2015, the Company was acquired by Fenix Parts, Inc. The acquisition did not include the capital stock Loki-Lot I, LLC, PPP Group, LLC, Loki-Lott II, LLC, and Gin-Jac, Inc. (collectively, the “Lessors”).
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in Fenix Parts, Inc.’s prospectus dated May 14, 2015. The Company continues to follow the accounting policies set forth in those consolidated financial statements. Management believes that these consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2015 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of annual results. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Lessors of the premises from which the Company operates. The Lessors are owned by the Company’s shareholder and an employee. The Company has determined that each Lessor is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) because the holders of the equity investment at risk in the Lessors do not have the obligation to absorb their expected losses or receive their residual returns. Furthermore, the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of each Lessor because the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact each Lessor’s economic performance, namely the operation and maintenance of the significant assets of each Lessor, and the Company has the obligation to absorb losses or rights to receive benefits from the Lessors that could potentially be significant to the Lessors. Accordingly, and pursuant to consolidation requirements under GAAP, the Company consolidates each Lessor. All intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation. All of the Lessors’ operating results are attributable to the noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and all of their shareholders’ equity is presented separately from the Company’s shareholder’s equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and statements of shareholders’ equity.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
37
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of vehicle replacement products and scrap, and the sale of used cars and motorcycles when they are shipped or picked up by the customers and ownership has transferred, subject to an allowance for estimated returns and discounts that management estimates based upon historical information. Management analyzes historical returns (often pursuant to standard warranties on the sold products) and allowances activity by comparing the items returned to the original invoice amounts and dates. The Company uses this information to project future returns and allowances on products sold. If actual returns and allowances deviate significantly from the Company’s historical experience, there could be an impact on its operating results in the period of occurrence. The Company has recorded a reserve for estimated returns, discounts and allowances of approximately $63,000 and $60,000 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, within accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
The Company presents taxes assessed by government authorities collected from customers on a net basis. Therefore, the taxes are excluded from revenue on the consolidated statement of operations and are shown as current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets until remitted. Revenue also includes amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold primarily includes a) amounts paid for the purchase of vehicles and parts for resale, b) related auction, storage and towing fees, and c) other cost of procurement and dismantling, primarily labor and overhead allocable to dismantling operations, or in the case of motorcycle and car sales, to preparing the vehicles for sale.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses are primarily comprised of a) salaries and benefits of employees that are not related to the procurement, dismantling and/or preparation of vehicles for sale, b) facility costs such as rent, utilities, insurance, repairs and taxes not allocated to dismantling operations, c) selling and marketing costs, d) costs to distribute the Company’s products and scrap, and e) other general and administrative costs.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit to customers after a review of each customer’s credit history. The Company recorded a reserve for uncollectible accounts of approximately $36,000 and $34,000 at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The reserve is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts, the aging of the accounts receivable and historical experience. Receivables are written off once collection efforts have been exhausted. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.
Concentrations
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The majority of cash and cash equivalents are maintained with several major financial institutions. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are limited because a large number of customers make up the Company’s customer base. The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures.
The Company primarily obtains its recycled OEM and related products from damaged, totaled or low value vehicles purchased at salvage auto auctions. For 2015 and 2014, substantially all of the vehicles purchased by the Company for dismantling were acquired at auctions run by two salvage auto auction companies.
Inventories
Inventories consist of recycled OEM and aftermarket products, including car hulls and other materials that will be sold as scrap, as well as used cars and motorcycles for resale. Inventory costs for recycled OEM parts are established based upon the price the Company pays for a vehicle, including auction, storage and towing fees, as well as expenditures for buying and dismantling vehicles. After dismantling, the cost assigned to the salvaged parts and scrap is determined using the average cost of sales percentage at the Company and applying that percentage to the Company’s inventory at expected selling prices. The average cost to sales percentage is derived from the Company’s historical vehicle profitability for salvage vehicles purchased at auction or procured from other sources. Inventory costs for used cars and motorcycles for resale are established based on historical cost plus any applicable labor and overhead.
38
For all inventories, carrying value is recorded at the lower of cost or market and is reduced to reflect the age of the product and current anticipated demand. If actual demand differs from the Company’s estimates, additional reductions to inventory carrying value would be necessary in the period such determination is made.
Inventories consisted of the following:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2015 | | | December 31, 2014 | |
Recycled OEM parts, related products and scrap | | $ | 3,348,333 | | | $ | 3,503,585 | |
Used cars and motorcycles | | | 394,729 | | | | 738,509 | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | $ | 3,743,062 | | | $ | 4,242,094 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged against operations. Renewals and betterments that materially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. As property and equipment are sold or retired, the applicable cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss thereon is recognized. Depreciation and amortization expense is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives or, the case of leasehold improvements, the term of the related lease or reasonably assured renewal periods, if shorter. Depreciation and amortization expense totaled approximately $39,000 and $38,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Approximately $917,000 and $926,000 of property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, was held by the Lessors as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.
Estimated useful lives are as follows:
| | | | |
Land and building improvements | | | 15 years | |
Buildings | | | 39 years | |
Vehicles | | | 5 years | |
Machinery and equipment | | | 10 years | |
Leasehold improvements | | | 10-15 years or life of lease, if shorter | |
Computer equipment | | | 3 years | |
Office furniture and fixtures | | | 7 years | |
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of property and equipment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable based on an analysis of undiscounted cash flows. There were no such events or changes in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.
Income Taxes
Except for certain of the Lessors that are limited liability companies, income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method where deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and the respective tax basis and for tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax assets and adjusts the valuation allowance, if necessary. The factors used to assess the likelihood of realization include historical cumulative losses, the forecast of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the net deferred tax assets. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income in applicable tax jurisdictions could affect the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets and could result in an increase in the Company’s effective tax rate on future earnings.
For those Lessors structured as limited liability companies, income or loss is reported by the entities’ owners and no income tax expense or benefit is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
39
The Company recognizes the benefits of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns in the provision for income taxes only for those positions that are more likely than not to be realized. The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately forecast actual outcomes. Should any interest or penalties accrue on uncertain tax positions, the Company would record such expense in income tax expense.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value of financial assets and liabilities are defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal market at the measurement date (exit price). The Company is required to classify fair value measurements in one of the following categories:
| • | | Level 1 - inputs which are defined as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
| • | | Level 2 - inputs which are defined as inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly. |
| • | | Level 3 - inputs are defined as unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. |
The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on either a recurring or non-recurring basis; however, the Company has no assets or liabilities that require recurring fair value measurements. Fair value is determined based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company’s debt is carried at cost and approximates fair value due to its fixed interest rates, which are consistent with the interest rates in the market.
The Company may be required, on a non-recurring basis, to adjust the carrying value of the Company’s property and equipment. When necessary, these valuations are determined by the Company using Level 3 inputs. These assets are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence that impairment may exist. There have been no indicators of impairment during 2015 or 2014.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-02,Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which modifies the evaluation of VIEs, and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities involved with VIEs. This guidance for nonpublic entities is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the new standard.
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 which amends Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205,Presentation of Financial Statements, to describe management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. This guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. The Company does not expect adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
40
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance in this update supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and creates a single, principle-based revenue recognition framework that is codified in a new FASB ASC Topic 606. The core principle of this guidance is for the recognition of revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new revenue standard is effective for nonpublic entities’ annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted for nonpublic entities. The new standard allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the transition method that will be elected and the potential effects of the adoption of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASUNo. 2014-08,Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205,Presentation of Financial Statements, and FASB ASC Topic 360,Property, Plant, and Equipment. This standard amends the definition of a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. This guidance is effective on a prospective basis for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2015. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made to conform to the current period presentation. The reclassifications have no impact on net income.
Note 3. Debt
The Company’s long-term debt consists of a $200,000 note payable entered into by one of the Lessors in October 2013. Interest only is due annually beginning in October 2014 and the entire principal is due in October 2018. The interest rate on the note is fixed at 3% for the term of the note. Proceeds from the note were used to partially finance the purchase of land and a building. The note is collateralized by the land and building.
In June 2011, the Company entered into a commercial line of credit with a borrowing base of $1,500,000 (the “line of credit”) and a maturity date of August 5, 2015. All obligations under the line of credit are secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets. Interest under the line of credit will be charged on the principal amount outstanding from time to time at prime. Through March 31, 2015, there have been no borrowings against this credit facility.
Note 4. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of following:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2015 | | | December 31, 2014 | |
Prepaid insurance | | $ | 181,592 | | | $ | 249,689 | |
Deposits and other | | | 57,782 | | | | 41,695 | |
Prepaid taxes | | | 20,186 | | | | 13,527 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total prepaid expenses and other current assets | | $ | 259,560 | | | $ | 304,911 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Note 5. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of following:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2015 | | | December 31, 2014 | |
Employee-related costs | | $ | 393,897 | | | $ | 160,112 | |
Reserve for returns, discounts and allowances | | | 63,156 | | | | 59,558 | |
Other | | | 64,470 | | | | 69,619 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total accrued expenses and other current liabilities | | $ | 521,523 | | | $ | 289,289 | |
| | | | | | | | |

Note 7. Income Taxes
The (benefit) provision for income taxes consisted of the following components:
| | | | | | | | |
| | For the three months ended March 31 | |
| | 2015 | | | 2014 | |
Current | | | | | | | | |
Federal | | $ | (6,323 | ) | | $ | 257,016 | |
State | | | (2,727 | ) | | | 44,783 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Total current income tax (benefit) provision | | | (9,050 | ) | | | 301,799 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Deferred | | | | | | | | |
Federal | | | — | | | | — | |
State | | | — | | | | — | |
| | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | |
Income tax (benefit) expense | | $ | (9,050 | ) | | $ | 301,799 | |
The Company’s uncertain tax positions include positions related to the timing of certain deductions for income tax purposes. The related basis differences caused by this timing of deductions for income tax purposes and the timing of expense recognition for financial reporting purposes are reflected in the Company’s deferred income tax liabilities. However, interest and penalties are separately recorded for these uncertain tax positions as part of income tax expense and amounted to approximately $45,000 and $31,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company had accumulated interest and penalties of approximately $289,000 and $244,000 as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, which along with the gross unrecognized tax benefits is reported as the reserve for uncertain tax positions on the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company is generally no longer subject to examination in primary tax jurisdictions for tax years through 2011. The Company is not currently subject to any audits or examinations.
Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations incident to the ordinary course of business. The Company currently expects that the resolution of any potential contingencies arising from compliance with these laws and regulations will not materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 9. Related Party Transactions
The Company leases certain computer equipment and software from a related party on a month-to-month basis. Related rental expense was approximately $6,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Some of the Lessors lease real estate to some of these other entities on a month-to-month basis. Related rental income, included in net revenues on the consolidated statements of operations, was approximately $3,000 and $4,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company also sells inventory to a related party. Net revenues were approximately $14,000 and $21,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Note 10. Employee Benefit Plan
The Company provides a defined contribution plan covering eligible employees, which includes a matching contribution. The matching Company contributions to this plan were approximately $57,000 and $44,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Note 11. Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 4, 2015, which is the date these consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. All subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure have been incorporated into these consolidated financial statements.
42
As described in Note 1, on May 19, 2015, the Company was purchased by Fenix Parts, Inc. (“Fenix”) for an approximate purchase price of $17.1 million, subject to working capital and other adjustments. The Lessors were not purchased, but the owners of the Lessors entered into lease agreements with Fenix for certain properties on which Fenix now conducts its automotive recycling business.
