Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies | Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business — UFI Acquisition, Inc. (UFI), a Delaware corporation, was formed on January 14, 2013, for the purpose of acquiring Unique Fabricating, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Unique Fabricating) (collectively, the “Company” or “Unique”) on March 18, 2013. The Company operates as one operating and reportable segment to fabricate and broker foam and rubber products, which are primarily sold to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and tiered suppliers in the automotive, appliance, water heater and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industries. In September 2014, UFI changed its name to Unique Fabricating, Inc. which is now the parent company of the consolidated group. As a result of the name change, the subsidiary previously named Unique Fabricating, Inc. became Unique Fabricating NA, Inc. Basis of Presentation — The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The information furnished in the Consolidated Financial Statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of such financial statements. The interim results for the periods presented may not be indicative of the Company's actual annual results. Principles of Consolidation — The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation. Initial Public Offering —On July 7, 2015, the Company completed its initial public offering of 2,702,500 shares of common stock at a price to the public of $9.50 per share (the "IPO"), including 352,500 shares subject to an over-allotment option granted to the underwriters. After underwriting discounts, commissions, and approximate fees and expenses of the offering, as set forth in our registration statement for the IPO on Form S-1, the Company received net IPO proceeds of approximately $22.2 million. Of these proceeds the Company used a portion to pay all of the $13.1 million principal amount of our 16% senior subordinated note, together with accrued interest through the date of payment. The Company used the remaining proceeds to temporarily reduce borrowings under the revolver portion of its senior secured credit facility. The Company also issued to the underwriters warrants to purchase up to 141,000 shares of common stock, as additional compensation in the IPO. The warrants are exercisable at a per share exercise price equal to 125% of the initial public offering price of $9.50 per share, and can be exercised commencing 1 year from the date of the IPO, until the date 5 years from the date of the IPO. The warrants have an aggregate grant date fair value of $336,300 and have been classified as equity and incremental direct costs associated with the IPO. Fiscal Years — The Company’s quarterly periods end on the Sunday closest to the end of the quarterly period. The quarterly and year to date period, which was 13 and 26 weeks, respectively, during 2016, ended on July 3, 2016, and the quarterly and year to date period, which was 13 and 25 weeks, respectively, during 2015, ended on June 28, 2015. Fiscal year 2015 ended on Sunday, January 3, 2016. Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable are stated at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is management’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable. Management determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and an understanding of individual customer payment history and financial condition. Management reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts at regular intervals. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when management determines it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $716,502 and $734,230 at July 3, 2016 and January 3, 2016 , respectively. Inventory — Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on the first in, first out method (FIFO). Inventory acquired as part of a business combination is recorded at its estimated fair value at the time of the business combination. The Company periodically evaluates inventory for obsolescence, excess quantities, slow moving goods and other impairments of value and establishes reserves for any identified impairments. Valuation of Long-Lived Assets — The carrying value of long-lived assets held for use is periodically evaluated when events or circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset held for use is considered impaired when the anticipated separately identifiable undiscounted cash flows from the asset are less than the carrying value of the asset. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. The Company determined that no impairment indicators were present and all originally assigned useful lives remained appropriate during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2016 and 13 and 25 weeks ended June 28, 2015 , respectively. Property, Plant, and Equipment — Property, plant, and equipment purchases are recorded at cost. Property, plant, and equipment acquired as part of a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value at the time of the business combination. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of each asset. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the period of the related leases. Upon retirement or disposal, the initial cost or valuation and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in net income. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Intangible Assets — The Company does not hold any intangible assets with indefinite lives. Identifiable intangible assets recognized as part of a business combination are recorded at their estimated fair value at the time of the business combination. Acquired intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight line basis, which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefit of the respective intangible is realized, over their respective estimated useful lives. Amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may be impaired. The remaining useful lives of intangible assets are reviewed to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. The Company determined that no impairment indicators were present and all originally assigned useful lives remained appropriate during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2016 and 13 and 25 weeks ended June 28, 2015 , respectively. Goodwill — Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost of consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from business combinations at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is assessed at least on an annual basis for impairment. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value is greater than the carrying value of a reporting unit then a qualitative assessment may be used for the annual impairment test. Otherwise, a two-step process is used. The first step requires estimating the fair value of each reporting unit compared to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, a second step is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of the goodwill. If the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its implied fair value then goodwill is deemed impaired and is written down to its implied fair value. There were no impairment charges recognized during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2016 and 13 and 25 weeks ended June 28, 2015 , respectively. Debt Issuance Costs — Debt issuance costs represent legal, consulting, and other financial costs associated with debt financing and are reported netted against the related debt instrument. Amounts paid to or on behalf of lenders are presented as debt discount, as a reduction of the noted debt instrument. Debt issuance costs on term debt are amortized using the straight line basis over the term of the related debt (which is immaterially different from the required effective interest method) while those related to revolving debt are amortized using a straight line basis over the term of the related debt. At July 3, 2016 and January 3, 2016 , debt issuance costs were $336,408 and $192,098 , respectively, while amounts paid to or on behalf of lenders presented as debt discounts were $302,210 and $98,452 , respectively. On April 29, 2016, the Company refinanced its existing term loan and revolving debt facility with new term loans and a new revolving debt facility which are further described in Note 6. The Company reviewed this refinancing for extinguishment accounting and concluded that $60,202 of the $160,111 remaining issuance costs not amortized on the old revolving debt facility qualified for extinguishment and were recognized as a loss on extinguishment immediately. The remaining $99,909 of unamortized issuance costs not extinguished on the old revolving debt facility and all of the $92,508 of remaining unamortized debt discounts on the old term loan did not meet extinguishment accounting and were therefore carried forward to the new revolving debt facility and term loans. In July of 2015, the 16% senior subordinated note was entirely paid off with the IPO proceeds. On the date paid off, $386,552 of debt discounts remained to be amortized. The Company concluded that the 16% senior subordinated note and related debt discounts qualified for extinguishment accounting and the debt discounts were recognized as a loss on extinguishment immediately in the third quarter of 2015. The extinguishment was recognized as part of interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Amortization expense has been recognized as a component of interest expense which includes both debt issuance costs and debt discounts in the amounts of $36,737 and $61,517 for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2016 , respectively, and $80,956 and $155,226 for the 13 and 25 weeks ended June 28, 2015 , respectively. Investments — Investments in entities in which the Company has less than a 20 percent interest or is not able to exercise significant influence are carried at cost. Dividends received are included in income, except for those dividends received in excess of the Company’s proportionate share of accumulated earnings, which are applied as a reduction of the cost of the investment. Impairment losses due to a decline in the value of the investment that is other than temporary are recognized when incurred. No dividend income or impairment loss was recognized for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2016 , respectively, and 13 and 25 weeks ended June 28, 2015 , respectively. Accounts Payable — Under the Company’s cash management system, checks issued but not yet presented to the Company’s bank frequently result in overdraft balances for accounting purposes and are classified as accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets. Accounts payable included $2,050,139 and $2,403,498 of checks issued in excess of available cash balances at July 3, 2016 and January 3, 2016 , respectively. Stock Based Compensation — The Company accounts for its stock based compensation using the fair value of the award estimated at the grant date of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of awards, consisting of stock options, using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized in earnings using the straight line method over the vesting period, which represents the requisite service period. Revenue Recognition — Revenue is recognized by the Company upon shipment to customers when the customer takes ownership and assumes the risk of loss, collection of the relevant receivable is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, and the sale price is fixed and determinable. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. Shipping and Handling — Shipping and handling costs are included in costs of sales as they are incurred. Income Taxes — A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the period. Deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax accounting 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 Company also evaluates the need for valuation allowances to reduce the deferred tax assets to realizable amounts. Management evaluates all positive and negative evidence and uses judgment regarding past and future events, including operating results, to help determine when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. When appropriate, a valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets to reserve for future tax benefits that may not be realized. The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company assesses all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remain open. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of July 3, 2016 and January 3, 2016 . The Company recognizes any penalties and interest when necessary as income tax expense. There were no penalties or interest recorded during the 13 and 26 and 13 and 25 weeks ended July 3, 2016 and June 28, 2015 , respectively. Foreign Currency Adjustments — The Company’s functional currency for all operations worldwide is the United States dollar. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities of foreign operations are remeasured at historical rates and monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period. Income statement accounts are remeasured at average exchange rates for the year. Gains and losses from remeasurement of foreign currency financial statements into United States dollars are classified in operating income in the consolidated statements of operations. Concentration Risks — The Company is exposed to various significant concentration risks as follows: Customer and Credit — During the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2016 and 13 and 25 weeks ended June 28, 2015 , respectively, the Company’s sales were derived from customers principally engaged in the North American automotive industry. Company sales directly and indirectly to General Motors Company (GM), FCA US, LLC (Chrysler), and Ford Motor Company (Ford) as a percentage of total net sales were: 12 , 11 , and 13 percent, respectively during the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2016; 12 , 12 , and 13 percent, respectively, during the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2016 ; 15 , 15 , and 15 percent, respectively during the 13 weeks ended June 28, 2015; and 15 , 16 , and 15 percent, respectively, during the 25 weeks ended June 28, 2015 . No Tier 1 supplier represented more than 10 percent of direct Company sales for any period noted above. No suppliers accounted for more than 10 percent of direct accounts receivable as of July 3, 2016 and January 3, 2016 . Labor Markets — At July 3, 2016 , of the Company’s hourly plant employees working in the United States manufacturing facilities, 29 percent were covered under a collective bargaining agreement which expires in August 2016 while another 5 percent were covered under a separate agreement that expires in January 2017. Foreign Currency Exchange — The expression of assets and liabilities in a currency other than the Company's functional currency, which is the United States dollar, gives rise to exchange gains and losses when such assets and obligations are paid in another currency. Foreign currency exchange rate adjustments (i.e., differences between amounts recorded and actual amounts owed or paid) are reported in the consolidated statements of operations as the foreign currency fluctuations occur. Foreign currency exchange rate adjustments are reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the cash flows. At July 3, 2016 , the Company’s exposure to assets and liabilities denominated in another currency was not significant. To the extent there is a fluctuation in the exchange rates, the amount of local currency to be paid or received to satisfy foreign currency obligations in 2016 may increase or decrease. International Operations — The Company manufactures and sells products outside of the United States primarily in Mexico and Canada. Foreign operations are subject to various political, economic and other risks and uncertainties inherent in foreign countries. Among other risks, the Company’s operations are subject to the risks of: restrictions on transfers of funds; export duties, quotas, and embargoes; domestic and international customs and tariffs; changing taxation policies; foreign exchange restrictions; political conditions; and governmental regulations. During the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2016 and 13 and 25 weeks ended June 28, 2015 , 11 , 11 , 12 and 12 percent, respectively, of the Company’s production occurred in Mexico. During the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2016 and 13 and 25 weeks ended June 28, 2015 , 8 , 4 , 0 , and 0 percent, respectively, of the Company's production occurred in Canada. Sales derived from customers located in Mexico, Canada, and other foreign countries were 12 , 8 , and 2 percent, respectively during the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2016, 12 , 6 , and 1 percent, respectively during the 26 weeks ended July 3, 2016 , 13 , 4 , and 2 percent, respectively during the 13 weeks ended June 28, 2015, and 13 , 4 , and 1 percent, respectively, during the 25 weeks ended June 28, 2015 , of the Company’s total sales. Derivative Financial Instruments — All derivative instruments are required to be reported on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value unless the transactions qualify and are designated as normal purchases or sales. Changes in fair value are reported currently through earnings unless they meet hedge accounting criteria. See Note 7 for further information regarding the Company's derivative instrument makeup. Use of Estimates — The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (the “ASU”). Previously, such costs were required to be presented as a non-current asset in an entity's balance sheet and amortized into interest expense over the term of the related debt instrument. The changes implemented by the ASU require that debt issuance costs be presented in the entity's balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the related debt liability. The amortization of debt issuance costs remains unchanged per the ASU. The Company adopted this ASU during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2016 and applied this change to the current and prior periods in the financial statements for comparable purposes. Debt issuance costs are no longer disclosed separately by the Company in the balance sheet and are now shown as a direct deduction from the carrying value of the related debt liability. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . This ASU supersedes most of the existing guidance on revenue recognition in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and establishes a broad principle that would require an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. To achieve this principle, an entity identifies the contract with a customer, identifies the separate performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and recognizes revenue when each separate performance obligation is satisfied. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue From Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, to defer implementation of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The guidance is now currently effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and is to be applied retrospectively at the entity's election either to each prior reporting period presented or with the cumulative effect of application recognized at the date of initial application. The ASU allows for early adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and the Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The ASU requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, simplifying the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market. The ASU defines net realizable value as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. The ASU is effective for the Company for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, an d is to be applied prospectively with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. Currently, deferred income tax liabilities and assets are required to be separated into current and non-current amounts in an entity's balance sheet. The changes implemented by the ASU require that all deferred income tax liabilities and assets are to be classified as non-current on the balance sheet. The ASU is effective for the Company for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this ASU during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2016 and applied the change to these periods only in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred taxes are now shown as non-current by the Company in the balance sheet. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which will supersede the current lease requirements in Topic 850. The ASU requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and related lease liability for all leases, with a limited exception for short-term leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. Currently, leases are classified as either capital or operating, with only capital leases recognized on the balance sheet. The reporting of lease related expenses in the statements of operations and cash flows will be generally consistent with current guidance. The ASU is effective for the Company for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvement to Employee Share-based Payment Accounting (ASU 2016-09), to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions. The ASU is effective for the Company for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company early adopted this ASU during the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 3, 2016 and applied the change to these periods in the consolidated financial statements. Excess tax benefits are no longer disclosed in the consolidated statements of cash flows as a result of this early adoption. We do not expect that any other recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |
