We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HGGC Citadel Plastics Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”), as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and for the period from February 29, 2012 through December 31, 2012, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated 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 Company’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 Company’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.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the Company are as follows:
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of HGGC Citadel, and through various holding companies HGGC Citadel’s wholly owned operating subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated. Joint venture investments for which the Company exercises significant influence are accounted for by the equity method.

Accounting Estimates
The preparation of 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, all highly-liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased are considered cash equivalents. From time to time, amounts deposited exceed federally insured limits. The Company believes the associated credit risk to be minimal.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Credit is extended based on an evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and collateral is generally not required. Accounts receivable are generally due between 30 to 60 days and stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
The Company determines its allowance for doubtful accounts by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company and the condition of the general economy as a whole. The Company writes off account balances when they become uncollectible and payments subsequently received on such receivables are recorded as a reduction in bad debt expense. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company believes the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate.
Inventories, net
Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost of inventories is determined using a first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, except for certain inventories of TCG which are determined using a last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.
The Company records a reserve for slow-moving and obsolete inventory based on historical experience and monitoring of current inventory activity. The Company’s estimate of this reserve is based on a periodic detailed analysis, using both qualitative and quantitative factors.

Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost and depreciated over the estimated useful life of each asset. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Annual depreciation is primarily computed using the straight-line method. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred while significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
| | |
Asset Classification | | Years |
Buildings | | 20 |
Machinery and equipment | | 5-7 |
Leasehold improvements | | Lease Term |
Intangible Assets
The Company’s finite intangible assets consisting of customer relationships, formulas, internally developed software and non-compete agreements were valued at the date of acquisition and are amortized on a straight-line basis (or an accelerated basis in the case of customer relationships) over the lesser of their remaining useful or contractual lives (generally 5 to 25 years).
Long-Lived Assets
Property and equipment and finite life intangible assets are reviewed whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate possible impairment. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than its carrying amount.
Additionally, the Company also evaluates the remaining useful life each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of depreciation or amortization. If the estimate of a long lived asset’s remaining useful life is changed, the remaining carrying amount of the asset is amortized prospectively over that revised remaining useful life.
Goodwill
The Company completes an annual (or more often if circumstances required) impairment assessment of its goodwill on a reporting unit level. For management purposes, the Company is organized into five reporting units; BMCI (including TCG), BMC Mexico, BMC Brazil, BMC Europe, and Matrixx (including Lucent).
In performing the goodwill impairment assessments, the carrying values of the Company’s reporting units were compared to their estimated fair values, as calculated by the discounted cash flow method. As of February 29, 2012, the Company elected to adopt the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08,“Intangibles – Goodwill and Other,” (Topic 350) (“ASU 2011-08”). ASU 2011-08 provides an option to first qualitatively assess whether current events or changes in circumstances lead to a determination that it is more likely than not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. This qualitative assessment included the Company evaluating the following factors that affected future business performance: macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, entity-specific events, and reporting unit factors. Absent a qualitative determination
16
HGGC Citadel Plastics Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands)
that the fair value of a particular reporting unit was more likely than not to be less than its carrying value, the Company did not need to proceed to the traditional two-step goodwill test for that reporting unit. If this qualitative assessment indicated a more likely than not potential that the asset may be impaired, the estimated fair value of the reporting unit was calculated by the discounted cash flow method. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit was less than its carrying value, an impairment charge was recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its calculated implied fair value.
Deferred Loan Costs
Deferred loan costs are amortized over the lives of the respective debt agreements using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method.
Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Further, the Company analyzes whether it is more likely than not that deferred tax assets will be realizable. Based upon this analysis, the Company establishes a valuation allowance for amounts that are not expected to be realized.
The Company follows the guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740-10-25, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold of more-likely-than-not and a measurement attribute for all tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return in order for those tax positions to be recognized in the financial statements. This statement clarifies the criteria that each tax position must satisfy for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s policy is to account for interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. There was no income tax interest or penalties in 2014, 2013 and 2012. The Company has evaluated its uncertain tax positions and has determined that, as of December 31, 2014, there are no positions that meet the criteria for recognition as an uncertain tax position. The periods ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 remain open for examination.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) represents net earnings and any revenues, expenses, gains, and losses that, under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, are excluded from net income and recognized directly as a component of stockholders’ equity.
Foreign Currency Translation
The functional currency of BMC Mexico is the U.S. dollar. Transactions in currencies other than the U.S. dollar of BMC Mexico are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the date of the transaction. BMC Mexico’s monetary assets and liabilities in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated at rates of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date to U.S. dollar. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses reflecting transaction gains and losses, which arise from BMC Mexico’s monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollar, are recorded in operating expenses. The functional currency of BMC Germany, BMC Turkey and BMC Brazil is the Euro, Lira and Real, respectively. Foreign currency adjustments, arising from the
17
HGGC Citadel Plastics Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands)
translation of the foreign subsidiaries’ financial statements, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until a foreign business is sold or substantially liquidated. Assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The results of operations are translated using the monthly average exchange rates for the year. Foreign currency transaction and remeasurement gains and losses are included in current earnings. Total net currency transaction gains for the periods ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 were $126, $181 and $(5), respectively, which are included in operating expenses. Included in miscellaneous other income (expense) for the periods ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 are gains/(losses) of $(2,251), $785 and $(307), respectively, from remeasuring non-local currency denominated intercompany loans between BMCI subsidiaries in the U.S and Europe.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, shipment of goods has occurred, risk of ownership has passed to the buyer, the price is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Provisions for discounts, rebates to customers and returns are provided for in the same period that the related sales are recorded.
Self-Insurance
The Company has elected to self-insure certain costs related to employee health and accident benefit programs. Costs resulting from non-insured losses are charged to expense when incurred. The Company has purchased insurance that limits its annual exposure for individual claims to $80. The Company has also purchased insurance that provides 100% coverage (up to $1,000) for the amount of total claims which exceeds 125% of the total expected claims (as defined by the insurance company) in a plan year.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold and related shipping and handling amounts billed to customers are included in net sales.
Fair Value Measurements
The authoritative guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 – | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
Level 2 – | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities: quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. |
Level 3 – | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands)
The Company applies fair value techniques on a non-recurring basis associated with valuing potential impairment losses related to goodwill and also when determining the fair value of its business combinations. To determine the fair value in these situations, the Company determines what a market participant would pay on the measurement date. To evaluate impairments of goodwill, the Company used Level 3 inputs such as discounted cash flows. To determine the fair value of the assets acquired in business combinations, the Company uses Level 3 inputs such as discounted cash flows, excess earnings of customer relationships and relief from royalties. The Company also uses Level 3 inputs to value certain unit-based compensation.
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Long-term debt also approximates fair value as a result of its variable interest rate.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-09,“Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing U.S. GAAP. This pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and is to be applied using one of two retrospective application methods, with early application not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on the financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which the standard will be adopted in 2017.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated subsequent events through April 27, 2015, which was the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

| | | | | | | | |
In performing its goodwill assessment for the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company elected to skip the qualitative analysis. Accordingly, the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test as described in FASB ASC 350-20-35, which includes estimating the fair values of each reporting unit and comparing those values to the reporting unit’s carrying value. Management has determined that no material impairments exist as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014.
In performing its goodwill assessment for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company evaluated the following factors that affect future business performance: macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, entity-specific events, and reporting unit factors. As a result of the assessment of these
20
HGGC Citadel Plastics Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands)
qualitative factors, the Company concluded that it was not more likely than not that the fair values of all five of the Company’s reporting units exceeded their carrying value. Accordingly, the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test as described in FASB ASC 350-20-35 was performed. The resultant estimated fair value of BMCI reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately $1,751 as of December 31, 2013 and no goodwill impairment charges were recorded. The resultant estimated fair values of the Company’s remaining four reporting units were less than their respective carrying values. As a result, when the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its calculated implied fair value. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded non-cash charges totaling $13,544 to recognize the impairment of goodwill in the following reporting units as follows:
| | | | |
| | Period ended December 31, 2013 | |
Matrixx | | $ | 2,835 | |
BMC Mexico | | | 2,299 | |
BMC Brazil | | | 2,210 | |
BMC Europe | | | 6,200 | |
| | | | |
| | $ | 13,544 | |
| | | | |
These goodwill impairment charges in each of the above four reporting units during the year ended December 31, 2013 resulted from reductions in the estimated fair values based on sluggish economic activity and lower expectations for future revenue, profitability and cash flows due largely to lower estimates of organic growth.
In performing its goodwill assessment for the period ended December 31, 2012, the Company evaluated the following factors that affect future business performance: macroeconomic conditions, industry and market considerations, cost factors, overall financial performance, entity-specific events, and reporting unit factors. As a result of the assessment of these qualitative factors, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair values of two of the five reporting units with goodwill as of December 31, 2012, exceeded their carrying value. Accordingly, the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test as described in FASB ASC 350-20-35, which includes estimating the fair values of each reporting unit, was not considered necessary for these two reporting units and no goodwill impairment charges were recorded in 2012.
The analysis of these qualitative factors for the other three reporting units led to the conclusion that it was not more likely than not that the fair value for these reporting units exceeded their carrying value. Accordingly, the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test as described in FASB ASC 350-20-35 was performed. The resultant estimated fair value of BMC Brazil reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by approximately $1.4 million as of December 31, 2012 and no goodwill impairment charges were recorded. The resultant estimated fair values of the Company’s remaining two reporting units were less than their respective carrying values. As a result, when the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount by which the carrying value of the goodwill exceeds its calculated implied fair value. Accordingly, during the period ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded non-cash charges totaling $10,283 to recognize the impairment of goodwill in the following reporting units as follows:
| | | | |
| | Period ended December 31, 2012 | |
Matrixx | | $ | 7,698 | |
BMC Europe | | | 2,585 | |
| | | | |
| | $ | 10,283 | |

The decline in fair value of Matrixx resulted from unfavorable operating results primarily relating to the sluggish residential housing market and lower estimates of future earnings growth. The decline in fair value of BMC Europe was almost entirely due to the depressed earnings of its BMC Turkey operations. As discussed in Note 14, the Company shut down of its BMC Turkey operations during the first quarter of 2013.
The fair value measurement method used in the Company’s impairment analysis utilizes a number of significant unobservable inputs or Level 3 assumptions. These assumptions include, among others, projections of our future operating results, the implied fair value of these assets using an income approach by preparing a discounted cash flow analysis and other subjective assumptions.
The following tables provide information about the Company’s intangible assets at December 31, 2014 and 2013:

Term Loans and Revolver Debt
On February 29, 2012, the Company entered into a $185,000 senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a syndication of lenders. The Credit Agreement consisted of a term loan in the amount of $155,000 (“Term Loan”), and a revolving line of credit in the aggregate amount of $30,000 (the “Revolver”). The Term Loan had quarterly principal payments of $388 through January 1, 2018 and a balloon payment of $141,088 (after a $5,000 optional prepayment made by the Company on December 31, 2012) due February 28, 2018. There can also be an annual mandatory prepayment based on preceding year cash flows (as defined). No mandatory prepayment was due in 2013 for 2012 cash flows (as defined). The Revolver was reduced by any outstanding letters of credit and was due February 2017. The Credit Agreement gave the Company the option to pay interest based on the Company’s total leverage ratio (as defined) at LIBOR (subject to a 1.50% floor) plus 5.0% to 5.25% or the bank’s prime rate plus 4.0% to 4.25% per annum. In addition, there is an unused commitment fee of 0.50% of any unused portion of the revolving credit facility as well as a 5.0% to 5.25% per annum monthly fee on the average amount of the outstanding letters of credit in any given month. The Credit Agreement is secured by a first lien on substantially all of the Company’s personal and real property.

On March 13, 2013, the Credit Agreement was amended with largely the same syndication of lenders to support the debt recapitalization of the Company. To fund this recapitalization the Company increased its borrowings under the Term Loan by $21,163 to $170,000, borrowed $4,000 under its Revolver, issued new Senior Subordinated Notes of $24,200 as discussed below, and utilized $651 of its available cash. The incremental proceeds from these fundings totaling $50,014 were used to fund the concurrent payoff of all of the outstanding principal and interest of the Senior Subordinated Notes of $46,633, financing fees of $1,259 and other interest and fees of $2,122. The interest rate on the amended Term Loan and Revolver is at LIBOR (subject to a 1.25% floor) plus 4.0% to 4.25% or the bank’s prime rate plus 3.0% to 3.25% per annum. All other terms of the amended Credit Agreement remained basically the same as the previous agreement.
The Company considered whether the March 13, 2013 recapitalization of the Company resulted in a debt modification or extinguishment. Based on the appropriate accounting guidance the Company determined that the portion of the refinanced debt which continued to be held by the original senior secured credit agreement lenders was a debt modification. Accordingly, new loan costs paid in 2013 to the senior secured credit agreement lenders of $775 were capitalized as additional deferred loan costs. In addition, the net deferred loan costs of $765 associated with the extinguished Senior Subordinated Agreement were fully amortized in 2013.
On December 6, 2013, in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of Lucent Polymers, Inc., the Credit Agreement was amended again to, among other things, provide $66,100 of new borrowings under the Term Loan to fund the Lucent Acquisition, reduce the lending interest rates and ease financial covenants. The new borrowings under the Term Loan raised the outstanding principal to $234,825, with quarterly principal payments of $587 through January 1, 2018 and a balloon payment of $224,825 due February 28, 2018. The interest rate on the amended Credit Agreement is at LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% floor) plus 3.75% to 4.00% or the bank’s prime rate plus 2.75% to 3.00% per annum. All other terms of the amended again Credit Agreement remained basically the same as the March 13, 2013 amended credit agreement. The Company determined that this amendment to the Credit Agreement was a debt modification and that fees paid of $1,891 for the amendment have been recorded as deferred financing fees at December 31, 2013 and are being amortized over the remaining term of the debt.
On November 5, 2014, in conjunction with the Company’s acquisition of TCG, the Credit Agreement was amended again to, among other things, provide $87,523 of new borrowings under the Term Loan to fund in part the TCG Acquisition, increase the lending interest rates and ease financial covenants. The new borrowings under the Term Loan raised the outstanding principal to $320,000 with quarterly principal payments of $800 from April 1, 2015 through October 1, 2020 and a balloon payment of $301,600 due November 5, 2020. The interest rate on the amended Credit Agreement is at LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% floor) plus 4.25% or the bank’s prime rate plus 3.25% per annum (effectively 5.25% at December 31, 2014). All other terms of the amended again Credit Agreement remained basically the same as the December 6, 2013 amended credit agreement. The Company determined that this amendment to the Credit Agreement was a debt modification and that fees paid of $5,755 for the amendment have been recorded as deferred financing fees at December 31, 2014 and are being amortized over the remaining term of the debt.
On November 5, 2014, to complete the debt funding of the Company’s acquisition of TCG, the Company entered into an $80,000 Second Lien Senior Secured Term Loan (the “2nd Lien Term Debt”) with certain lenders from the syndication of lenders funding the Credit Agreement. The 2nd Lien Term Debt, due November 5, 2021, is subordinated to the amended Credit Agreement and has a second priority perfected security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company. The interest rate on the 2nd Lien Term Debt is at LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% floor) plus 8.00% or the bank’s prime rate plus 7.00% per annum (effectively 9.0% at December 31, 2014). The Company paid fees of $800 for the 2nd Lien Term Debt which have been recorded as deferred financing fees at December 31, 2014, and are being amortized over the remaining term of the debt.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain hedging agreements that effectively fix interest rates on at least 50% of the outstanding aggregate principal of the Term Loan for a minimum of two years starting before May 29, 2012. Effective May 8, 2012, the Company purchased for $112 an interest rate cap with an initial notional amount of $77,500, which caps LIBOR at 2.50%. The notional amount of the interest rate cap was $75,369 and $76,919 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company has treated this interest rate cap as an ineffective hedge, and the loss associated with this cap agreement totaled approximately $2, $9 and $101 for the periods ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The Company had no borrowings outstanding under the Revolver at December 31, 2014 and 2013. There were outstanding letters of credit of $565 and $250 at December 31, 2014 and 2013. The effective interest rate on the Term Loan was 6% and 5% at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Senior Subordinated Notes
On February 29, 2012, the Company entered into a $44,600 senior subordinated financing agreement (the “Senior Subordinated Agreement”) with a lender which was subordinated to the Credit Agreement. The Senior Subordinated Agreement consisted of a $44,600 term loan and accrued interest at 12% per annum, payable quarterly, plus PIK interest of 2%. The senior subordinated borrowings are unsecured. The Subordinated Agreement was due February 28, 2019.
As mentioned above, in conjunction with the March 13, 2013 debt recapitalization of the Company, the Senior Subordinated Agreement was paid off with the combination of the increased borrowings of the Credit Agreement as detailed above and proceeds from a new senior subordinated agreement (the “New Senior Subordinated Agreement”), loaned by a newly formed company, HGGC Citadel Lender, LLC (a related party as discussed in Note 12), totaling $24,200. The interest rate on the New Senior Subordinated Agreement was at 14% per annum, payable quarterly, plus PIK interest of 5%. The New Senior Subordinated Agreement, due August 28, 2018, was subordinated to the amended Credit Agreement. All other terms of the New Senior Subordinated Agreement remained basically the same as the previous senior subordinated agreement. The Company paid fees of $484 for the New Senior Subordinated Agreement which have been recorded as deferred financing fees at December 31, 2013, and were being amortized over the remaining term of the debt.
In conjunction with the Company’s November 5, 2014 debt refinancing to fund the TCG acquisition discussed above, the outstanding principal (including accumulated PIK interest) of $26,294 was converted to 21,911 Class L equity units of the Parent. The transaction was recorded as a capital contribution and was deemed to be at market value and no gain or loss was recorded on the conversion.
The Company is required by all of its debt agreements to maintain a total leverage ratio below certain levels and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (until the Company’s November 5, 2014 acquisition of TCG only) and is limited on its ability to make investments, obtain additional indebtedness, make capital expenditures and pay dividends. The Company was in compliance with the terms of its debt agreements at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards in Brazil of $2,137 and $3,622, respectively.
The Company had total income tax receivables of $949 and $1,511 which were included in prepaid expenses at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Company’s income tax expense at the statutory rate differs from the Company’s effective tax rate. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the primary reasons for the deviation between the effective tax rate and the statutory federal tax rate of 35% are due to permanent non-deductible amortization and depreciation expenses relating to purchase accounting for goodwill, intangibles and fixed assets and non-deductible transactions costs offset by other net permanent deductible items. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the primary reasons for the deviation between the effective tax rate and the statutory federal tax rate of 35% are due to permanent non-deductible amortization, impairment and depreciation expenses relating to purchase accounting for goodwill, intangibles and fixed assets and non-deductible stock compensation expense. For the period ended December 31, 2012, the primary reason for the deviation between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of 34% are due to state income taxes and the change in the valuation allowance relative to pre-tax net income offset primarily by permanent non-deductible amortization, impairment and depreciation expenses related to US GAAP purchase accounting for goodwill, intangibles, fixed assets, and transaction costs.

During the fourth quarter of 2012, a decision was made to close the BMC Turkey operations by the end of the first quarter of 2013. The Company continued to retain direct cash flows (significant to the BMC Turkey operations) associated with the revenues (and related cost of goods sold) of the closed operation as the primary customers of BMC Turkey will be served out of BMC Germany. Accordingly, the closure has not been presented as discontinued operations. During the period ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded in the consolidated statement of operations $280 of charges associated with costs to terminate employees and the exit facilities as well as $358 of charges relating to write-downs of receivables, inventory and fixed assets.
