Consolidation Policy and Basis of Presentation – The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Katy Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries in which it has a greater than 50% voting interest or significant influence, collectively “Katy” or the “Company”. All significant intercompany accounts, profits and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 28, 2014 and the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 and Cash Flows for the three months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods. Interim results may not be indicative of results to be realized for the entire year. The condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, together with management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2013 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). |
|
Fiscal Year – The Company operates and reports using a 4-4-5 fiscal year which always ends on December 31. As a result, December and January do not typically consist of five and four weeks, respectively. The three months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 consisted of 61 and 63 shipping days, respectively. |
|
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
Inventories – The components of inventories are as follows (amounts in thousands): |
|
| | March 28, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2014 | | | 2013 | |
| | | |
Raw materials | | $ | 6,968 | | | $ | 5,803 | |
Finished goods | | | 10,603 | | | | 9,101 | |
Inventory reserves | | | (658 | ) | | | (534 | ) |
LIFO reserve | | | (4,523 | ) | | | (4,366 | ) |
| | $ | 12,390 | | | $ | 10,004 | |
|
At March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately 79% and 80%, respectively, of Katy’s inventories were accounted for using the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method of costing, while the remaining inventories were accounted for using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Current cost, as determined using the FIFO method, exceeded LIFO cost by $4.5 million and $4.4 million at March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. |
|
Share-Based Payment – Compensation cost recognized during the three months ended March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 includes: a) compensation cost for all stock options based on the grant date fair value amortized over the options’ vesting period and b) compensation cost for outstanding stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) as of March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 based on the March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 fair values, respectively. The Company re-measures the fair value of SARs each reporting period until the award is settled and compensation expense is recognized each reporting period for changes in fair value and vesting. |
|
Compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The components of compensation expense are as follows (amounts in thousands): |

The fair value of stock options are estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. As the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a basis for estimating the expected term, the Company uses the simplified method for estimating the expected term by averaging the minimum and maximum lives expected for each award. In addition, the Company estimated volatility by considering its historical stock volatility over a term comparable to the remaining expected life of each award. The risk-free interest rate is the current yield available on U.S. treasury issues with a remaining term equal to each award. The Company estimates forfeitures using historical results. Its estimates of forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from their estimate. There were no stock options granted during the three months ended March 28, 2014 or March 29, 2013. |

The fair value of SARs, a liability award, was estimated at March 28, 2014 and March 29, 2013 using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company estimated the expected term by averaging the minimum and maximum lives expected for each award. In addition, the Company estimated volatility by considering its historical stock volatility over a term comparable to the remaining expected life of each award. The risk-free interest rate was the current yield available on U.S. treasury issues with a remaining term equal to each award. The Company estimates forfeitures using historical results. Its estimates of forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from their estimate. The assumptions for expected term, volatility and risk-free rate are presented in the table below: |
|
| March 28, | | March 29, | | | | | |
2014 | 2013 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |
Expected term (years) | 2.4 - 4.6 | | 0.9 - 4.6 | | | | | |
Volatility | 320.2% - 374.3% | | 290.0% - 348.6% | | | | | |
Risk-free interest rate | 0.7% - 1.6% | | 0.1% - 0.7% | | | | | |
|
Accumulated Comprehensive Loss – The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss are foreign currency translation adjustments and pension and other postretirement benefits adjustments. The balance of foreign currency translation adjustments was $0.6 million at March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The balance of pension and other postretirement benefits adjustments was $0.3 million at March 28, 2014 and December 31, 2013. |
|
Segment Reporting – Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief decision maker or group in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief decision maker reviews the results of operations and requests for capital expenditures based on one industry segment: manufacturing, importing and distributing commercial cleaning and storage products. The Company’s entire revenue is generated through this segment. |
