Independent Auditor’s Report
Board of Directors
SPH Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Fullerton, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of SPH Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SPH Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of a Matter
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for goodwill in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 due to unwinding the effects of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-02,Accounting for Goodwill, a consensus of the Private Company Councilas the Company meets the definition of a public business entity. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

1. General Description
SPH Holdings, Inc. (“SPHHI”), which was incorporated on November 1, 2010 under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, is the sole stockholder of Stauber Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), which is the sole stockholder of Stauber Performance Ingredients, Inc. dba Stauber California (“SCA”), which is the sole member of Stauber Performance Ingredients, LLC (“SPILLC”) (together, the “Company”). SCA is the only active operating company; SPHHI and Holdings are passive holding companies that may generate interest income or transaction costs. SPHHI is a holding company which monitors the operating company and may engage in strategic acquisitions for the Company. SCA distributes food ingredients, nutrients, and fine chemicals in bulk to processors and manufacturers in the food, nutritional supplement, and pharmaceutical industries.
On May 21, 2012, SPHHI acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of Gadot USA, Inc. (“Gadot”), the parent and sole stockholder of Pharmline, Inc. dba Stauber New York (“SNY”), a value-added manufacturer and distributor of nutraceutical products located in Florida, New York. SNY was acquired to expand the Company’s geographic presence and manufacturing capabilities. Gadot was purchased for approximately $29,500,000, including transaction expenses of approximately $1,500,000, which was funded through $7,300,000 from the issuance of additional Series A convertible preferred stock to existing stockholders and additional borrowings from existing lenders under amended term and revolving credit facilities totaling $10,500,000 and $11,700,000, respectively.
The acquisition of SNY was accounted for using the acquisition method. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The fair values of identifiable intangible assets were based on valuations using the income approach and estimates provided by management. The excess of the purchase price over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets and assumed liabilities was recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the purchase price was based upon the fair value of certain assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition. The purchase price was allocated as follows:

For financial reporting purposes, the assets acquired were recorded at their fair values. This resulted in recording certain intangible assets including goodwill. Goodwill arose from the expected synergies of acquiring SNY and the workforce in place at SNY. Any goodwill or intangible assets resulting from the transaction were not deductible for tax purposes. For federal and state income tax purposes, assets were not adjusted to their fair values, but were instead carried forward at their original tax basis. However, any existing intangibles that were tax deductible prior to the transaction continue to be tax deductible (see Notes 2, 5, and 7).
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SPHHI, Holdings, SCA, SNY and SPILLC from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013. Prior year consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SPHHI, Holdings, SCA and SPILLC from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 and SNY from May 21, 2012, the date of the acquisition, through December 31, 2012. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

SPH Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-02 related to the accounting for goodwill by private companies. Under this guidance, private companies may elect to amortize goodwill over 10 years, or less than 10 years if the entity can demonstrate that another useful life is more appropriate, and to test goodwill for impairment only upon occurrence of a triggering event that indicates that the book value of the entity may exceed the fair value of the entity, as opposed to testing goodwill for impairment annually under prior accounting guidance. The accounting guidance is effective for the fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2014 and early adoption is permitted.
On January 1, 2013, the Company had adopted ASU 2014-02 related to the accounting for goodwill by private companies. However, these financial statements are being revised as the Company now meets the definition of a public business entity and is precluded from adopting ASU 2014-02.
Reclassifications
Certain 2012 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2013 presentation. These classifications had no impact on net loss or stockholders’ equity.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped to customers and title has passed, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Shipping and Handling
Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are recorded as revenue. Freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers are not included in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs of $885,600 and $709,200 are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary but generally requires no collateral. The Company maintains allowances for estimated credit losses, and historically such losses have been within management’s estimates.
In addition, the Company is subject to counterparty risk on certain cash and investments balances held at a financial institution. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company maintains bank accounts at financial institutions, which at times may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. Non-interest bearing cash balances are insured up to $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution. At December 31, 2013, the Company’s cash balance exceeded the insured amount.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents consist principally of demand deposit accounts and sweep accounts linked to an off-shore investment account held in U.S. dollars with a U.S. financial institution. The off-shore investment account invests in time deposits with maturities of 1-3 days.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Bad Debts
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of the customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The allowance for bad debts is maintained at a level that, in management’s opinion, is adequate to absorb potential losses related to trade receivables. The allowance for bad debts is based upon management’s continuous evaluation of the collectability of outstanding receivables.
Management’s evaluation takes into consideration such factors as past bad debt experience, economic conditions, and information about specific receivables. The allowance for bad debts is based on estimates and ultimate losses may vary from current estimates. As adjustments to these estimates become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods that they become known. The allowance is increased by bad debt provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by direct write-offs, net of recoveries.
Inventories
Inventories consist substantially of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method (see Note 3).
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions and improvements are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets involved using the straight-line method. The range of estimated useful lives is as follows:
| | | | |
| | Years | |
Buildings | | | 15 | |
Leasehold improvements | | | 3 to 5 | |
Machinery and equipment | | | 5 to 12 | |
Transportation equipment | | | 5 | |
Computers | | | 5 | |
Furniture and fixtures | | | 3 to 5 | |
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the useful life or the remaining term of the lease (see Note 4).

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be fully recoverable. The determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest, is less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment charges were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
The range of estimated useful lives for intangible assets is as follows:
| | | | |
| | Years | |
Supplier relationships | | | 3 to 5 | |
Customer relationships | | | 10 to 15 | |
Trademarks and trade names | | | 7 to 10 | |
Non-competition agreements | | | 3 | |
Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or upon the occurrence of a triggering event that indicates that the fair value of the Company may be below its carrying amount. Upon occurrence of a triggering event the Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether further quantitative analysis is necessary. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, the Company will perform a quantitative test to compare the Company’s estimated fair value to its book value. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no additional steps are necessary. If the book value of the Company exceeds estimated fair value, the difference is recorded as goodwill impairment.
No impairment charges were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Accounting 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s significant estimates include allowances for doubtful accounts, reserve for inventory obsolescence, realizability of deferred tax assets and liabilities, useful lives for depreciation and amortization and assessing the need for impairment charges (intangible assets and goodwill). Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Income Taxes
The Company files tax returns for federal and state purposes at the SPHHI level. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Such deferred income tax asset and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the change during the period in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
The Company follows the recognition and disclosure provisions under guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740. Under this guidance, tax positions are evaluated for recognition using a more-likely-than-not threshold, and those tax positions requiring recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The Company does not have any material accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded $145,000 and $0, respectively, related to uncertain tax positions in connection with ASC 740.
The following is a rollforward of the Company’s total unrecognized tax liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2013:

Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discount
Financing costs were incurred in connection with the issuance and amendment of the Company’s financing arrangements (see Note 6). These costs have been capitalized and are reflected as debt issuance costs on the balance sheet or as a discount to the related debt, depending upon whether the financing costs have been paid to lenders or third parties. Debt issuance costs and the debt discount are being amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the loans and are included as a component of interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Amortization expense related to debt issuance and debt discount costs were $81,900 and $180,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2013. Amortization expense related to debt issuance and debt discount costs were $51,500 and $155,600, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Fair Value
The Company’s financial instruments are primarily composed of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses closely approximate their carrying value due to their short maturities. The fair value of debt closely approximates its carrying value because the terms of the debt approximate terms available in the market for debt of a similar credit risk profile for a similar duration. The fair value of related party transactions is not determinable due to the nature of these transactions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company is not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities tax years before 2010 and by state tax authorities for tax years before 2009. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. To the extent accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision in the period that such determination is made.
8. Related Party Transactions
At December 31, 2013 the Company held two promissory notes from minority stockholders that accrue interest at 5% per annum. The interest is added to the principal if unpaid. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the notes had outstanding unpaid principal in the amount of $301,800 and $133,700, respectively, which is included as a reduction to stockholders’ equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and statements of stockholders’ equity. Such amounts represent a portion of the purchase consideration for preferred stock of the Company. During 2012, the Company repurchased and retired 1,000 shares from a former minority stockholder, thereby extinguishing an outstanding promissory note of $80,000 and accrued interest of $3,000.
The Company leases its corporate office building from a stockholder. For each year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, rental expense was $55,600 that was attributed to the stockholder and included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Under a management agreement, during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company incurred and paid $704,600 and $591,600, respectively, in monitoring fees and reimbursable expenses to ICV Partners, LLC, and the investment manager of the majority stockholder of the Company. Under this agreement, the Company shall incur and pay ICV Partners, LLC an annual monitoring fee equal to the greater of 5% of consolidated adjusted EBITDA as defined in the Purchase Agreement or $400,000, paid quarterly.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
Operating Leases
The Company leases its corporate office building under a non-cancelable and long-term operating lease from individuals, one of whom is a stockholder in the Company. The lease expires on January 21, 2016 with an option to renew the term of the lease for a subsequent five year period. The monthly base rent is $39,300 per month, of which 11.8% is attributable to a stockholder of the Company. SNY leases a warehouse building under a non-cancelable and long-term operating lease from a third party. The lease expires December 31, 2014 with an option to renew the term of the lease for an additional two year period. The monthly base rent is $15,750. The Company has various operating leases on certain operating equipment, which are in place through July 2017.

Litigation
The Company is involved from time to time in certain legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the outcome of such litigation and claims, should they arise in the future, is not likely to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In February 2012, the Company and SNY were named in several lawsuits pending in the State of California and Orange County Superior Court concerning personal injuries allegedly suffered by users of Hydroxycut brand products (“Hydroxycut Lawsuit”). In January 2013, a master settlement agreement (the “MSA”) was reached in its entirety between the defendants and all claimants in the Hydroxycut Lawsuit. The Company’s and SNY’s damages were $30,000 and $45,000, respectively which were paid by the Company’s insurance carrier less deductibles. The MSA is contingent upon the completion of a master release and the execution of the individual releases is still under review.
In December 2013, the Company received separate pre-litigation claims from two of its customers for damages allegedly sustained from a contaminated enzyme supplied by the Company. The Company purchased the enzyme from a third party manufacturer who purchased the product from the enzyme supplier. The customers’ claims request reimbursement for alleged damages sustained. Management is evaluating the basis for the claims and as of the date of these financial statements has not received requested evidence to establish the basis for the alleged damages. Accordingly, management cannot reasonably estimate any loss related to these claims. The Company’s insurers are participating in the claim investigation process and should there be any loss to the Company, management will pursue recovery from its insurers and indemnification separately from the enzyme third party manufacturer and supplier. No accrual for loss has been recorded in connection with these claims as of December 31, 2013.

Indemnities and Guarantees
During the normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees under which they may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include (i) certain real estate leases, under which the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities, and (ii) certain agreements with the Company’s officers under which the Company may be required to indemnify officers for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship. The duration of these indemnities and guarantees varies and in certain cases is indefinite. The majority of these indemnities and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations, and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
10. Employee Benefit Plan
The Company sponsors a profit-sharing plan (the “401(k) Plan”) under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) Plan covers all employees who were employed on the effective date of the 401(k) Plan and subsequent eligible employees. The Company can make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Under the 401(k) Plan, participating employees may defer a percentage of their pretax salary, but not more than the statutory limits. The Company matches 50% of participating employee’s elective deferral, up to a maximum contribution of 2.5% of their compensation. Maximum compensation for plan purposes for 2013 and 2012 was $255,000 and $250,000, respectively. The Company’s matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan were approximately $69,500 and $70,100 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
SNY sponsors a safe harbor profit-sharing plan (the “safe harbor 401(k) Plan”) under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The safe harbor 401(k) Plan covers all employees who were employed on the effective date of the safe harbor 401(k) Plan and employees hired subsequent to the effective date. SNY makes contributions equal to the sum of 100% of the amount of the participating employee’s elective deferrals that do not exceed 3% of their compensation, plus 50% of the amount of their elective deferrals that exceed 3% up to a maximum of 5% of their compensation. This contribution is 100% vested. SNY’s matching contribution to the safe harbor Plan for the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the period from May 21, 2012 through December 31, 2012 was approximately $67,000 and $42,500, respectively, which is included in cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
11. Stockholders’ Equity
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized and approved the issuance of 3,631 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock for approximately $121 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $440,800.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
On May 17, 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized and approved a reverse stock split of the Company’s Series A preferred stock and common stock. The Company’s Series A preferred stock was reclassified by increasing the purchase price from $1 per share to $100 per share and the number of authorized shares was decreased from 25,000,000 to 320,920 shares, in order to affect the reverse stock split with no change in the par value of those shares. The number of authorized shares of common stock was also decreased from 30,000,000 shares to 49,977 shares with no change in the par value of those shares.
The Company has authorized 49,977 shares of common stock, at $0.001 par value per share, and 320,920 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, at $0.001 par value per share. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had 296,880 and 293,249 shares, respectively, of Series A convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding, and no shares of common stock.
The Series A convertible preferred stock has a cumulative dividend at an annual rate of 12% of the issuance price that compounds annually from the date of issuance. In a discretionary distribution or liquidity event, the Series A convertible preferred stockholders would have first priority to proceeds up to the issuance price plus accrued but unpaid dividends prior to any amounts paid to holders of common stock or any other class of capital stock, should they be issued at a future date. Shares of Series A convertible preferred stock are convertible into shares of common stock at a price equal to the purchase price plus accrued but unpaid dividends by the purchase price. The conversion price is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.
No dividends were declared for the year ended December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2012, a dividend of $509,400 was declared and paid to the Series A shareholders. Cumulative accrued but undeclared dividends on Series A convertible preferred stock was $9,641,400 and $5,439,700 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
12. Subsequent Events
In March 2014, the Board of Directors approved the SPH Holdings, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Board authorized the issuance of an option to purchase 29,688 shares of common stock under the Plan. The options vest over different periods ranging from one to four years from grant date.
The Company evaluated subsequent events in accordance with ASC 855,Subsequent Events. The Company evaluated subsequent events through April 30, 2014, the date which these financial statements were available to be issued.

Independent Auditor’s Report
Board of Directors
SPH Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Fullerton, California
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of SPH Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SPH Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Emphasis of a Matter
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method of accounting for goodwill in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 due to unwinding the effects of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-02,Accounting for Goodwill, a consensus of the Private Company Councilas the Company meets the definition of a public business entity. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. General Description
SPH Holdings, Inc. (“SPHHI”), which was incorporated on November 1, 2010 under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, is the sole stockholder of Stauber Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), which is the sole stockholder of Stauber Performance Ingredients, Inc. dba Stauber California (“SCA”), which is the sole member of Stauber Performance Ingredients, LLC (“SPILLC”) (together, the “Company”). SCA is the only active operating company; SPHHI and Holdings are passive holding companies that may generate interest income or transaction costs. SPHHI is a holding company which monitors the operating company and may engage in strategic acquisitions for the Company. SCA distributes food ingredients, nutrients, and fine chemicals in bulk to processors and manufacturers in the food, nutritional supplement, and pharmaceutical industries.
On May 21, 2012, SPHHI acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of Gadot USA, Inc. (“Gadot”), the parent and sole stockholder of Pharmline, Inc. dba Stauber New York (“SNY”), a value-added manufacturer and distributor of nutraceutical products located in Florida, New York. SNY was acquired to expand the Company’s geographic presence and manufacturing capabilities.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SPHHI, Holdings, SCA, SNY and SPILLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Reclassifications
Certain 2013 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped to customers and title has passed, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Shipping and Handling
Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are recorded as revenue. Freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers are not included in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs of $937,800 and $885,600 are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
11
SPH Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary but generally requires no collateral. The Company maintains allowances for estimated credit losses, and historically such losses have been within management’s estimates.
In addition, the Company is subject to counterparty risk on certain cash and investments balances held at a financial institution. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company maintains bank accounts at financial institutions, which at times may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. Cash balances are insured up to $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution. At December 31, 2014, the Company’s cash balance exceeded the insured amount.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Bad Debts
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of the customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The allowance for bad debts is maintained at a level that, in management’s opinion, is adequate to absorb potential losses related to trade receivables. The allowance for bad debts is based upon management’s continuous evaluation of the collectability of outstanding receivables.
Management’s evaluation takes into consideration such factors as past bad debt experience, economic conditions, and information about specific receivables. The allowance for bad debts is based on estimates and ultimate losses may vary from current estimates. As adjustments to these estimates become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the periods that they become known. The allowance is increased by bad debt provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by direct write-offs, net of recoveries.
Inventories
Inventories consist substantially of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method (see Note 3).
12
SPH Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions, improvements and capital leases are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets involved using the straight-line method. The range of estimated useful lives is as follows:
| | | | |
| | Years | |
Buildings | | | 15 | |
Machinery and equipment | | | 5 to 12 | |
Transportation equipment | | | 5 | |
Computers | | | 5 | |
Furniture and fixtures | | | 3 to 5 | |
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the useful life or the remaining term of the lease. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the related asset is completed and placed in service (see Note 4).
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be fully recoverable. The determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest, is less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment charges were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
The range of estimated remaining useful lives for intangible assets is as follows:
| | | | |
| | Years | |
Supplier relationships | | | 3 to 5 | |
Customer relationships | | | 10 to 15 | |
Trademarks and trade names | | | 7 to 10 | |
Non-competition agreements | | | 3 | |
Goodwill
On January 1, 2013, the Company had adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-02,Accounting for Goodwill, a consensus of the Private Company Council (“ASU 2014-02”) related to the accounting for goodwill by private companies. However, these financial statements are being revised as the Company now meets the definition of a public business entity and is precluded from adopting ASU 2014-02.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or upon the occurrence of a triggering event that indicates that the fair value of the Company may be below its carrying
13
SPH Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
amount. Upon occurrence of a triggering event the Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether further quantitative analysis is necessary. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, the Company will perform a quantitative test to compare the Company’s estimated fair value to its book value. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no additional steps are necessary. If the book value of the Company exceeds estimated fair value, the difference is recorded as goodwill impairment.
No impairment charges were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Accounting 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s significant estimates include allowances for doubtful accounts, reserve for inventory obsolescence, realizability of deferred tax assets and liabilities, useful lives for depreciation and amortization and assessing the need for impairment charges (intangible assets and goodwill). Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Income Taxes
The Company files tax returns for federal and state purposes at the SPHHI level. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Such deferred income tax asset and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the change during the period in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
The Company follows the recognition and disclosure provisions under guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740. Under this guidance, tax positions are evaluated for recognition using a more-likely-than-not threshold, and those tax positions requiring recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The Company does not have any material accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded $172,900 and $145,000, respectively, related to uncertain tax positions in connection with ASC 740.

Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discount
Financing costs were incurred in connection with the issuance and amendment of the Company’s financing arrangements (see Note 6). These costs have been capitalized and are reflected as debt issuance costs on the balance sheet or as a discount to the related debt, depending upon whether the financing costs have been paid to lenders or third parties. Debt issuance costs and the debt discount are being amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the loans and are included as a component of interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Amortization expense related to debt issuance and debt discount costs were $53,700 and $99,400, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2014. Amortization expense related to debt issuance and debt discount costs were $81,900 and $180,000, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Fair Value
The Company’s financial instruments are primarily composed of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses closely approximate their carrying value due to their short maturities. The fair value of debt closely approximates its carrying value because the terms of the debt approximate terms available in the market for debt of a similar credit risk profile for a similar duration. The fair value of related party transactions is not determinable due to the nature of these transactions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company is not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities tax years before 2011 and by state tax authorities for tax years before 2010. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the consolidated statements of operations. To the extent accrued interest and penalties do not ultimately become payable, amounts accrued will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision in the period that such determination is made.
8. Related Party Transactions

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
In February 2012, the Company and SNY were named in several lawsuits pending in the State of California and Orange County Superior Court concerning personal injuries allegedly suffered by users of Hydroxycut brand products (“Hydroxycut Lawsuit”). In January 2013, a master settlement agreement (the “MSA”) was reached in its entirety between the defendants and all claimants in the Hydroxycut Lawsuit. The Company’s and SNY’s damages were $30,000 and $45,000, respectively, which were paid by the Company’s insurance carrier less deductibles. The MSA is contingent upon the completion of a master release and the execution of the individual releases is still under review.
In December 2013, the Company received a pre-litigation claim from one of its customers for damages allegedly sustained from a contaminated enzyme supplied by the Company. The Company purchased the enzyme from a third party manufacturer who purchased the product from the enzyme supplier. The customer’s claim requests reimbursement for alleged damages sustained. Management has evaluated the claim made and determined that the range of potential loss to the Company is less than the amount of insurance coverage available to the Company, inclusive of associated legal expense to be reimbursed by the insurance carrier. As such, no accrual for loss has been recorded in connection with this claim as of December 31, 2014.
Indemnities and Guarantees
During the normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees under which they may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include (i) certain real estate leases, under which the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities, and (ii) certain agreements with the Company’s officers under which the Company may be required to indemnify officers for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship. The duration of these indemnities and guarantees varies and in certain cases is indefinite. The majority of these indemnities and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations, and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
10. Employee Benefit Plan
The Company sponsors a profit-sharing plan (the “401(k) Plan”) under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) Plan covers all employees who were employed on the effective date of the 401(k) Plan and subsequent eligible employees. The Company can make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Under the 401(k) Plan, participating employees may defer a percentage of their pretax salary, but not more than the statutory limits. The Company matches 50% of participating employee’s elective deferral, up to a maximum contribution of 2.5% of their compensation. Maximum compensation for plan purposes for 2014 and 2013 was $260,000 and $255,000, respectively. The Company’s matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan were approximately $73,100 and $69,500 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
SNY sponsors a safe harbor profit-sharing plan (the “safe harbor 401(k) Plan”) under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The safe harbor 401(k) Plan covers all employees who were employed on the effective date of the safe harbor 401(k) Plan and employees hired subsequent to the effective date. SNY makes contributions equal to the sum of 100% of the amount of the participating employee’s elective deferrals that do not exceed 3% of their compensation, plus 50% of the amount of their elective deferrals that exceed 3% up to a maximum of 5% of their compensation. This contribution is 100% vested. SNY’s matching contribution to the safe harbor Plan for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $75,500 and $67,000, respectively, which is included in cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
11. Stockholders’ Equity
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized and approved the issuance of 3,631 shares of the Company’s Series A preferred stock for approximately $121 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $440,800.
The Company has authorized 49,977 shares of common stock, at $0.001 par value per share, and 320,920 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock, at $0.001 par value per share. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had 296,880 shares, of Series A convertible preferred stock issued and outstanding, and no shares of common stock.
The Series A convertible preferred stock has a cumulative dividend at an annual rate of 12% of the issuance price that compounds annually from the date of issuance. In a discretionary distribution or liquidity event, the Series A convertible preferred stockholders would have first priority to proceeds up to the issuance price plus accrued but unpaid dividends prior to any amounts paid to holders of common stock or any other class of capital stock, should they be issued at a future date. Shares of Series A convertible preferred stock are convertible into shares of common stock at a price equal to the purchase price plus accrued but unpaid dividends by the purchase price. The conversion price is subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.
No dividends were declared for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Cumulative accrued but undeclared dividends on Series A convertible preferred stock was $14,369,900 and $9,641,400 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Stock Based Compensation
In March 2014, the Board of Directors approved the SPH Holdings, Inc. 2014 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and authorized the issuance of options to purchase 29,688 shares of common stock under the Plan and granted options to purchase 23,454 shares of common stock to employees.
The Company estimates the fair value of the options awards as of the grant date and recognizes the related expense over the requisite service period. The option awards vest over periods ranging from one to four years from the grant date.

SPH Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the option awards on the date of grant using the following assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2014:
| | | | |
Stock price | | $ | 24.32 | |
Exercise price | | $ | 117.13 | |
Expected volatility | | | 40 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 1.32 | % |
Expected life (in years) | | | 1-4 | |
| | | | |
Fair value of these option awards on the date of grant was determined to be de minimis and as such, no compensation expense was recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014.
As of December 31, 2014, there were options to purchase 23,454 shares of common stock with a weighted average strike price of $117.13 and a weighted average life of 2 years.
12. Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events in accordance with ASC 855,Subsequent Events. The Company evaluated subsequent events through April 30, 2015, the date which these financial statements were available to be issued.

1. General Description
SPH Holdings, Inc. (“SPHHI”), which was incorporated on November 1, 2010 under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, is the sole stockholder of Stauber Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), which is the sole stockholder of Stauber Performance Ingredients, Inc. dba Stauber California (“SCA”), which is the sole member of Stauber Performance Ingredients, LLC (“SPILLC”) (together, the “Company”). SCA is the only active operating company; SPHHI and Holdings are passive holding companies that may generate interest income or transaction costs. SPHHI is a holding company which monitors the operating company and may engage in strategic acquisitions for the Company. SCA distributes food ingredients, nutrients, and fine chemicals in bulk to processors and manufacturers in the food, nutritional supplement, and pharmaceutical industries.
On May 21, 2012, SPHHI acquired all of the outstanding equity securities of Gadot USA, Inc. (“Gadot”), the parent and sole stockholder of Pharmline, Inc. dba Stauber New York (“SNY”), a value-added manufacturer and distributor of nutraceutical products located in Florida, New York. SNY was acquired to expand the Company’s geographic presence and manufacturing capabilities.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SPHHI, Holdings, SCA, SNY and SPILLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02,Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements.
5
SPH Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
In November 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-17,Income Taxes (Topic 740). Current GAAP requires an entity to separate deferred income tax liabilities and assets into current and noncurrent amounts in a classified statement of financial position. To simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes, the amendments in this ASU require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. The amendments in this ASU apply to all entities that present a classified statement of financial position. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-11,Inventory (Topic 330). Topic 330 currently requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or market, where market could be replacement cost, net realizable value, or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin. This ASU limits the scope to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO) or average cost and requires inventory be measured at the lower of costs or net realizable value. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect that this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, FASB issued ASU 2015-03,Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. This ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. ASU 2015-03 is effective for financials statement issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect that this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped to customers and title has passed, the price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.
Shipping and Handling
Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are recorded as revenue. Freight costs associated with shipping goods to customers are not included in cost of sales. Shipping and handling costs of $839,300 and $746,000 are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended when deemed necessary but generally requires no collateral. The Company maintains allowances for estimated credit losses, and historically such losses have been within management’s estimates.
6
SPH Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
In addition, the Company is subject to counterparty risk on certain cash and investments balances held at a financial institution. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions. The Company maintains bank accounts at financial institutions, which at times may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances. Cash balances are insured up to $250,000 per depositor at each financial institution. At September 30, 2015, the Company’s cash balance exceeded the insured amount.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates fair value.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Bad Debts
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of the customers’ financial condition and generally does not require collateral. The allowance for bad debts is maintained at a level that, in management’s opinion, is adequate to absorb potential losses related to trade receivables. The allowance for bad debts is based upon management’s continuous evaluation of the collectability of outstanding receivables.
Management’s evaluation takes into consideration such factors as past bad debt experience, economic conditions, and information about specific receivables. The allowance for bad debts is based on estimates and ultimate losses may vary from current estimates. As adjustments to these estimates become necessary, they are reported in earnings in the years that they become known. The allowance is increased by bad debt provisions charged to operating expense and reduced by direct write-offs, net of recoveries.
Inventories
Inventories consist substantially of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method (see Note 3).
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for major additions, improvements and capital leases are capitalized, while minor replacements, maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the assets involved using the straight-line method. The range of estimated useful lives is as follows:
| | | | |
| | Years | |
Buildings | | | 15 | |
Machinery and equipment | | | 5 to 12 | |
Transportation equipment | | | 5 | |
Computers | | | 5 | |
Furniture and fixtures | | | 3 to 5 | |
7
SPH Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the useful life or the remaining term of the lease. Construction in progress is not depreciated until the related asset is completed and placed in service (see Note 4).
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of any such asset may not be fully recoverable. The determination of recoverability is based on an estimate of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of an asset and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest, is less than the carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss, measured as the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. No impairment charges were recorded during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.
The range of estimated remaining useful lives for intangible assets is as follows:
| | | | |
| | Years | |
Supplier relationships | | | 3 to 5 | |
Customer relationships | | | 10 to 15 | |
Trademarks and trade names | | | 7 to 10 | |
Non-competition agreements | | | 3 | |
Goodwill
The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis or upon the occurrence of a triggering event that indicates that the fair value of the Company may be below its carrying amount. Upon occurrence of a triggering event the Company may first assess qualitative factors to determine whether further quantitative analysis is necessary. If the qualitative assessment indicates that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, the Company will perform a quantitative test to compare the Company’s estimated fair value to its book value. If the estimated fair value exceeds book value, goodwill is considered not to be impaired and no additional steps are necessary. If the book value of the Company exceeds estimated fair value, the difference is recorded as goodwill impairment.
No impairment charges were recorded during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.
Accounting 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s significant estimates include allowances for doubtful accounts, reserve for inventory obsolescence, realizability of deferred tax assets and liabilities, useful lives for depreciation and amortization and assessing the need for impairment charges (intangible assets and goodwill). Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

SPH Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Income Taxes
The Company files tax returns for federal and state purposes at the SPHHI level. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Such deferred income tax asset and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established, when necessary, to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the change during the period in deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
The Company follows the recognition and disclosure provisions under guidance contained in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740,Income Taxes. Under this guidance, tax positions are evaluated for recognition using a more-likely-than-not threshold, and those tax positions requiring recognition are measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The Company does not have any material accrued interest or penalties associated with any unrecognized tax benefits. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded $145,000 and $145,000, respectively, related to uncertain tax positions in connection with ASC 740.
Debt Issuance Costs and Debt Discount
Financing costs were incurred in connection with the issuance and amendment of the Company’s financing arrangements (see Note 6). These costs have been capitalized and are reflected as debt issuance costs on the balance sheet or as a discount to the related debt, depending upon whether the financing costs have been paid to lenders or third parties. Debt issuance costs and the debt discount are being amortized using the effective interest rate method over the term of the loans and are included as a component of interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Amortization expense related to debt issuance and debt discount costs were $25,900 and $31,800, respectively, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015. Amortization expense related to debt issuance and debt discount costs were $44,700 and $80,500, respectively, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014.
Fair Value
The Company’s financial instruments are primarily composed of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses closely approximate their carrying value due to their short maturities. The fair value of debt closely approximates its carrying value because the terms of the debt approximate terms available in the market for debt of a similar credit risk profile for a similar duration. The fair value of related party transactions is not determinable due to the nature of these transactions.

The Loan Agreement required the Company to make scheduled payments of interest and principal and allowed prepayment of principal under specific conditions. Interest accrued at the greater of LIBOR plus 7.5% or 10.5%.
In November 2014, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Loan Agreement (the “Restated Agreement”) which converted the existing outstanding balances of the Loan Agreement and Amendment into two equal loans, (“Term A Loan” and “Term B Loan”), each in the amounts of $11,165,600, secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Restated Agreement requires the Company to make scheduled payments of interest and principal and allows prepayment of principal under specific conditions.

On July 20, 2012, the Company entered into a real estate loan agreement (the “Real Estate Loan Agreement”) with a senior lender.

The terms of the Loan Agreement and Credit Agreement require the Company to maintain a certain fixed-charge coverage ratio and minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”). The Loan Agreement also contains certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on additional debt; acquisition by the Company of the stock of, or merger with other corporations; dividend payments; and asset sales. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants and ratios as of September 30, 2015 and 2014.
Debt as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 consists of the following:
| | | | | | | | |
September 30, | | 2015 | | | 2014 | |
Senior term loan | | $ | 19,311,100 | | | $ | 22,331,300 | |

7. Income Taxes
The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter.
The provision for income taxes was 35.07% and 45.25% of income before income taxes for the periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease in the effective income tax rate from period to period was primarily driven by the benefit from non-taxable income related to an escrow settlement.
The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits was $145,000 as of September 30, 2015 and 2014. The total balance of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions was $49,000 as of September 30, 2015 and $35,000 as of September 30, 2014. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense and the accrued interest and penalties are included in deferred and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. There was $10,000 of interest and penalties included in income tax expense for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015.

Litigation
The Company is involved from time to time in certain legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that the outcome of such litigation and claims, should they arise in the future, is not likely to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In December 2013, the Company received a pre-litigation claim from one of its customers for damages allegedly sustained from a contaminated enzyme supplied by the Company. The Company purchased the enzyme from a third party manufacturer who purchased the product from the enzyme supplier. The customer’s claim requests reimbursement for alleged damages sustained. Management has evaluated the claim made and determined that the range of potential loss to the Company is less than the amount of insurance coverage available to the Company, inclusive of associated legal expense to be reimbursed by the insurance carrier. As of September 30, 2015 and 2014 the Company accrued $150,000 and $50,000, respectively, for the potential loss in connection with this claim that reached settlement in October 2015 (see Note 12).
Indemnities and Guarantees
During the normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees under which they may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions. These indemnities include (i) certain real estate leases, under which the Company may be required to indemnify property owners for environmental and other liabilities, and (ii) certain agreements with the Company’s officers under which the Company may be required to indemnify officers for liabilities arising out of their employment relationship. The duration of these indemnities and guarantees varies and in certain cases is indefinite. The majority of these indemnities and guarantees do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make significant payments for these obligations, and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
10. Employee Benefit Plan
The Company sponsors a profit-sharing plan (the “401(k) Plan”) under the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The 401(k) Plan covers all employees who were employed on the effective date of the 401(k) Plan and subsequent eligible employees. The Company can make discretionary contributions to the 401(k) Plan. Under the 401(k) Plan, participating employees may defer a percentage of their pretax salary, but not more than the statutory limits. The Company matches 50% of participating employee’s elective deferral, up to a maximum contribution of 2.5% of their compensation. Maximum compensation for plan purposes for the 2015 and 2014 plan years was $260,000 and $260,000, respectively. The Company’s matching contributions to the 401(k) Plan were approximately $61,700 and $56,100 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which is included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

This contribution is 100% vested. SNY’s matching contribution to the safe harbor Plan for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $84,900 and $73,000, respectively, which is included in cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
11. Stockholders’ Equity
