1 | BASIS OF PRESENTATION | ||
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Ultralife Corporation (the “Company”) and subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been included. Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results to be expected for a full year. Reference should be made to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. | |||
The December 31, 2013 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. | |||
Certain items previously reported in specific financial statement captions have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. | |||
Our monthly closing schedule is a 4/4/5 weekly-based cycle for each fiscal quarter, as opposed to a calendar month-based cycle for each fiscal quarter. While the actual dates for the quarter-ends will change slightly each year, we believe that there are not any material differences when making quarterly comparisons. | |||

On April 28, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”) which became effective on May 1, 2014, under which the Company plans to repurchase up to 1.8 million shares of its outstanding common stock over a period not to exceed twelve months. Share repurchases, if any, will be made in accordance with SEC Rule 10b-18 using a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions and block trades, or any combination of such methods, in accordance with applicable insider trading and other securities laws and regulations. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchase will be determined at the Company’s discretion and the Share Repurchase Program may be suspended, terminated or modified by the Company at any time and for any reason. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares. No purchases have been made under this program through the period ended June 29, 2014. | |||

6 | REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT | ||
We have financing through a Revolving Credit, Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2013, (the “Credit Agreement”) and related security agreements with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), which provides a $20 million secured asset-based revolving credit facility that includes a $1 million letter of credit sub-facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Agreement provides that the Credit Facility may be increased with PNC’s concurrence to an amount not to exceed $35 million, provided such increase must occur prior to the last six months of the term, which expires on May 24, 2017. | |||
Our available borrowing limit under the Credit Facility is based on a borrowing base formula equal to a percentage of accounts receivable, inventory and eligible foreign in-transit inventory. Interest is payable quarterly and accrues on outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement at either a LIBOR-based rate or an alternate base rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement. We pay a quarterly fee on the Credit Facility’s unused availability at 0.375% per annum. | |||
As of June 29, 2014, we had approximately $12,361 of borrowing capacity in addition to our cash on hand of $17,160, and we had no outstanding borrowings or outstanding letters of credit under the Credit Facility at either June 29, 2014 or December 31, 2013. | |||
On April 30, 2014, the Company and PNC entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Amendment permits the Company to commence the Share Repurchase Program described in Note 2 above, provided that (a) the Company is not in default under the Credit Agreement, (b) the Company’s undrawn availability under the Credit Agreement is at least $6 million both prior to and immediately following any repurchase, (c) the Company’s undrawn availability under the Credit Agreement plus domestic unrestricted cash is at least $8 million both prior to and immediately following any repurchase, and (d) the Company uses its unrestricted cash for such repurchases and does not request advances against the Credit Agreement for such purposes. |

In the three-month and six-month periods ended June 29, 2014, we issued 14,153 and 28,792 shares of common stock to our non-employee directors, respectively, valued at $57 and $114, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||
b. Stock Options | |||||||||||||||||
We have stock options outstanding from various stock-based employee compensation plans, for which we record compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions in our financial statements. The cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity award). Compensation cost related to stock options was $198 and $200 for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Compensation cost related to stock options was $371 and $390 for the six-month periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. As of June 30, 2014, there was $766 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.4 years. | |||||||||||||||||

Cash flows from excess tax benefits are required to be classified as a part of cash flows from financing activities. Excess tax benefits are realized tax benefits from tax deductions for exercised stock options in excess of the deferred tax asset attributable to stock compensation costs for such stock options. We did not record any excess tax benefits in the first six months of 2014 and 2013. Cash received from stock option exercises under our stock-based compensation plans for the three-month periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was $11 and $0, respectively. Cash received from stock option exercises for the six-month periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 was $11 and $12, respectively. | |||||||||||||||||

No restricted stock was awarded during the three or six month periods ending June 29, 2014. Included in stock compensation expense recorded in our financial statements in the three and six months ended June 29, 2014 was $34 and $83, respectively, relating to the restricted stock units held by our President and Chief Executive Officer. There was $40 in stock compensation expense relating to restricted stock awards in both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013. There is $67 of unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock units as of June 29, 2014. 30,000 shares of restricted stock units vested during the first six months of 2014. |

8 | INCOME TAXES | ||||||||||||||||
The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. | |||||||||||||||||
For the three-month periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, we recorded $57 and $53, respectively, in income tax expense. For the six-month periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, we recorded $117 and $151, respectively, in income tax expense. The expense is primarily due to the recognition of deferred tax liabilities generated from goodwill and certain intangible assets that cannot be predicted to reverse for book purposes during our loss carryforward periods. The remaining expense in 2014 was due to state income taxes, and in 2013 was primarily due to the income reported for our China operations during the period. | |||||||||||||||||

The overall effective tax rate is the result of the combination of income and losses in each of our tax jurisdictions, which is particularly influenced by the fact that we have recorded a full reserve against our deferred tax assets pertaining to cumulative historical losses for our U.S. operations and our U.K. subsidiary, as management does not believe, at this time, that it is more likely than not that we will realize the benefit of these losses. We have substantial net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards which offset taxable income in the United States. However, we remain subject to the alternative minimum tax in the United States. The alternative minimum tax limits the amount of NOL available to offset taxable income to 90% of the current year income. We incurred $0 and $12 in alternative minimum tax for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and no alternative minimum tax in 2014. The payment of the alternative minimum tax normally results in the establishment of a deferred tax asset; however, we have established a valuation allowance for this related deferred tax asset. | |||||||||||||||||
As of June 29, 2014, we have foreign and domestic NOL’s totaling approximately $64,700 available to reduce future taxable income. Foreign loss carryforwards of approximately $12,600 can be carried forward indefinitely. The domestic NOL carryforward of $52,100 expires from 2019 through 2034. The domestic NOL carryforward includes approximately $2,949 for which a benefit will be recorded in capital in excess of par value when realized. | |||||||||||||||||
Our unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions at March 30, 2014 relate to Federal and various state jurisdictions. The following table summarizes the activity related to our unrecognized tax benefits: | |||||||||||||||||

The unrecognized tax benefits balance has been recorded as a decrease in the deferred tax asset relating to our NOL carryforward. Because we have recorded a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, the unrecognized tax benefits balance has no effect on our net (loss) income or financial position, as presented. Interest and penalties would begin to accrue in the period in which the NOL carryforwards related to the uncertain tax positions are utilized. We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next twelve months. | |||||||||||||||||
We file income tax returns in various jurisdictions including U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. We are routinely subject to examination by taxing authorities in these various jurisdictions. Our U.S. tax matters for the years 2000 through 2013 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and by various state and local tax jurisdictions due to our NOL carryforwards. Our tax matters for the years 2007 through 2013 remain subject to examination by the respective foreign tax jurisdiction authorities. The IRS has completed the examination of our 2009 U.S. federal income tax return, with no resulting material effect to our financial position or results of operations, and has initiated an examination of our 2011 and 2012 U.S. federal income tax returns. |

Note 9 Earnings Per Share | ' | ||
9 | EARNINGS PER SHARE | ||
We have adopted the guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) for determining whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities. The guidance requires that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (such as restricted stock awards granted by us) be considered participating securities. Because restricted stock awards are participating securities, we are required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share (the “Two-Class Method”). | |||
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is determined using the Two-Class Method and is computed by dividing earnings attributable to the Company’s common shareholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. The Two-Class Method is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of securities, if any, and reflects the more dilutive EPS amount calculated using the treasury stock method or the Two-Class Method. Due to our net losses in the three and six month periods ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, no dilutive securities were considered. | |||
There were 2,271,923 and 2,289,538 outstanding stock options at June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively, that were not included in EPS for the three and six month periods presented as the effect would be anti-dilutive. |

We estimate future costs associated with expected product failure rates, material usage and service costs in the development of our warranty obligations. Warranty reserves are based on historical experience of warranty claims and generally will be estimated as a percentage of sales over the warranty period. In the event the actual results of these items differ from the estimates, an adjustment to the warranty obligation would be recorded. Changes in our product warranty liability during the first three months of 2014 and 2013 were as follows: | |||||||||

Arista Power Litigation | |||||||||
On September 23, 2011, we initiated an action against Arista Power, Inc. (“Arista”) and our former senior sales and engineering employee, David Modeen (“Modeen”) in the State of New York Supreme Court, County of Wayne (the “Wayne County Action”). In our initial Complaint, we alleged that Arista recruited all but one of the members of its executive team from us, subsequently changed and redirected its business to compete directly with us by using our confidential information, and during the summer of 2011, recruited Modeen to become an Arista employee. We also allege that, as a result of actions by Arista and Modeen: (i) Modeen has breached the terms of his Employee Confidentiality, Non-Disclosure, Non-Compete, Non-Disparagement and Assignment Agreement with us as well as other obligations he owed us; (ii) Arista’s employment of Modeen will inevitably lead to the disclosure and use of our trade secrets by Arista, in violation of Modeen’s obligations to us; (iii) Arista unlawfully induced Modeen to breach his obligations to us; and (iv) Arista’s recruitment and employment of Modeen has breached a subcontract between Arista and us. In February 2012, we amended our Complaint to allege more broadly that Arista has misappropriated our trade secrets and confidential and strategic information related to products, technical requirements, markets, customers and sales and marketing, including (but not solely) through the recruitment and employment of Modeen. We seek damages as determined at trial and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief. The defendants answered the allegations set forth in the Complaint and Amended Complaint, without asserting any counterclaims. | |||||||||
On December 5, 2011, Arista served us with a Complaint it filed on November 29, 2011 in the State of New York Supreme Court, County of Monroe (the “Monroe County Action”) against us, our officers, several of our directors, and an employee. In its Complaint, Arista alleges that we and our named defendants have violated the terms of a Confidentiality Agreement with Arista and have unfairly competed against Arista by unlawfully appropriating Arista’s trade secrets and that as a result of such activity, Arista has incurred damages in excess of $60,000, and seeks damages, an accounting, and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief. After various motions, two amendments to its original Complaint and discovery between the parties, Arista withdrew all of its claims against all defendants other than the Company and one employee and the Stipulation and Order dismissing those claims was filed on September 20, 2013. On March 16, 2014, Arista delivered a Stipulation of Discontinuance With Prejudice agreeing to withdraw all remaining claims against us and our employee with prejudice which would preclude Arista from pursuing the claims that had been asserted in the Monroe County Action against us and our employee in a new suit or as counterclaims in the Wayne County Action. | |||||||||
The Company’s Wayne County Action continues and discovery is in process. | |||||||||
d. Other Matters – Subsequent Event | |||||||||
During the first quarter of 2014, we received an informal notice from the landlord of our China facility that we may not be able to extend our lease past its expiration in October 2014 due to possible zoning changes in the village where the facility is located. In response to this informal notification, we changed the period over which the China plant’s leasehold improvements are being depreciated to coincide with the expiration of the lease in October 2014. | |||||||||
During the second quarter of 2014, the landlord confirmed to us that the lease for our China facility would not be extended, and we commenced a search for an alternate site to relocate our facility. We also developed plans to increase our manufacturing output in advance of the move so as to minimize the disruption of such a move to both our customers and the Company’s operations. | |||||||||
Subsequent to June 29, 2014, the Company’s subsidiary in China entered into a lease for a replacement facility, also located in Shenzhen. The lease includes a five year term including two rent-free months, and requires rent payments of RMB117 (approximately $19 at the current exchange rate) per month for the first three years, increasing to RMB126 (approximately $20) per month for the final two years. We believe that the expense of the move, net of expected local government reimbursements, will be in the range of $400 to $500, and will be incurred during the third and fourth quarters of 2014. |

In June 2011, we experienced a fire that damaged certain inventory and machinery and equipment at our facility in China. The total amount of the loss pertaining to assets and the related expenses was approximately $1,589. We have made a claim against our insurance policy, with the majority of our insurance claim related to the recovery of damaged inventory. We have received payments in June 2012 and April 2013 totaling approximately $1,286 as a partial payment on our insurance claim, which resulted in no gain or loss being recognized. As of June 29, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we reflect a receivable from the insurance company relating to this claim of $185, which is net of our deductible of approximately $132, and represents additional proceeds to be received. |

14 | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS | ||
In April 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance amending existing requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, discontinued operations reporting will be limited to disposal transactions that represent strategic shifts having a major effect on operations and financial results. The amended guidance also enhances disclosures and requires assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation to be classified as such for all periods presented in the financial statements. Public entities will apply the amended guidance prospectively to all disposals occurring within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those years. The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2015. Due to the change in requirements for reporting discontinued operations described above, presentation and disclosures of future disposal transactions after adoption may be different than under current standards. | |||
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers, that outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The ASU is based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach for the adoption of the new standard. The ASU becomes effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period; early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that this standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements. | |||
