NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1.      BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of Patrick Industries, Inc. (“Patrick” or the “Company”), the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and its results of income, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2013 and September 30, 2012.

Patrick’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules or regulations. For a description of significant accounting policies used by the Company in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements, please refer to Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Operating results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.

2.      INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (First-In, First-Out (FIFO) Method) or market and consist of the following classes:

3.      GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS        

Goodwill and other intangible assets are allocated to the Company’s reporting units at the date they are initially recorded. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to an annual (or under certain circumstances more frequent) impairment test based on their estimated fair value. Goodwill impairment testing is performed at the reporting unit level, one level below the business segment. The Company’s Manufacturing segment includes goodwill originating from the acquisitions of Gravure Ink (acquired in the Adorn Holdings, Inc. (“Adorn”) acquisition), Quality Hardwoods Sales (“Quality Hardwoods”), A.I.A. Countertops, LLC (“AIA”), Infinity Graphics, Décor Mfg., LLC (“Décor”), Creative Wood Designs, Inc. (“Creative Wood”), Middlebury Hardwood Products, Inc. (“Middlebury Hardwoods”), Frontline Mfg., Inc. (“Frontline”), and Premier Concepts, Inc. (“Premier”). While Gravure Ink, AIA, Infinity Graphics, Décor, Creative Wood, Middlebury Hardwoods, Frontline and Premier remain reporting units of the Company for which impairment is assessed, Quality Hardwoods is assessed for impairment as part of the Company’s hardwood door reporting unit. The Company’s Distribution segment includes goodwill originating from the acquisition of Blazon International Group (“Blazon”) and John H. McDonald Co., Inc. d/b/a West Side Furniture (“West Side”), which remain reporting units for which impairment is assessed.

Finite-lived intangible assets that meet certain criteria continue to be amortized over their useful lives and are also subject to an impairment test based on estimated undiscounted cash flows when impairment indicators exist. The Company performs the required impairment test of goodwill in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may exceed the fair value. No impairment was recognized during the third quarter and nine months ended September 29, 2013. There have been no material changes to the method of evaluating goodwill impairment during the third quarter of 2013. The Company does not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the estimates or assumptions used to determine impairment in the foreseeable future.

In early September 2013, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of two related Warsaw, Indiana-based companies, Frontline and Premier, in a combined transaction. The purchases were determined to be business combinations. The intangible assets recorded as a result of the Frontline acquisition included (in thousands): customer relationships - $1,411; trademarks - $221; non-compete agreement - $460; and goodwill - $2,795. The intangible assets recorded as a result of the Premier acquisition included (in thousands): customer relationships - $862; trademarks - $144; non-compete agreement - $203; and goodwill - $1,239. The goodwill recognized in both of these transactions is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The Frontline and Premier reporting units are included in the Manufacturing segment. See Note 4 for further details.

In late September 2013, the Company acquired the business and certain assets of Goshen, Indiana-based West Side. The purchase was determined to be a business combination and the intangible assets recorded as a result of the acquisition included (in thousands): customer relationships – $4,167; trademarks - $297; non-compete agreement - $998; and goodwill - $2,574. The West Side reporting unit is included in the Distribution segment. See Note 4 for further details.

This acquisition provides the opportunity for the Company to establish a presence in the fiberglass bath fixtures market and increase its product offerings, market share and per unit content. The results of operations for Frontline are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the Manufacturing operating segment from the date of acquisition.

2012 Acquisitions

Décor

In March 2012, the Company acquired certain assets of Tualatin, Oregon-based Décor, a manufacturer of laminated and wrapped products for the Northwestern U.S.-based RV industry, for a net purchase price of $4.3 million. This acquisition expanded the Company’s revenues to its existing customer base in the RV industry sector and significantly expanded the Company’s RV presence in the Northwest. The results of operations for Décor are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the Manufacturing operating segment from the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill, which represents the value of leveraging the Company’s existing purchasing, manufacturing, sales, and systems resources with the organizational talent and expertise of the Décor team to maximize efficiencies, revenue impact, market share growth, and net income.  

The acquisition was funded through borrowings under the Company's 2011 Credit Facility (as defined herein), and the issuance of 100,000 shares or $0.6 million of Patrick common stock. The value of the common stock issued was based on the closing stock price of $6.42 per share on March 2, 2012.

Revenue of approximately $9.4 million and $17.6 million, respectively, was included for the comparable periods in 2012 pertaining to the three businesses acquired in 2012.

5.      STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

6.       INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effect of stock options and warrants. The dilutive effect of stock options and warrants is calculated under the treasury stock method using the average market price for the period.

8.     DEBT

Total long-term debt outstanding at September 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $63.0 million and $49.7 million, respectively.

2011 Credit Facility

Prior to October 24, 2012, the Company’s debt financing was supported by its credit agreement, dated March 31, 2011, as amended, among the Company, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“WFCF”), as the lender and agent, and Fifth-Third Bank (“Fifth-Third”) as participant (the “2011 Credit Agreement”), which consisted of a $50 million revolving secured senior credit facility (the “2011 Credit Facility”). The 2011 Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on March 31, 2015.

2012 Credit Facility

On October 24, 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2012 Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as the agent and lender (“Wells Fargo”), and Fifth-Third as participant (collectively, the “Lenders”), to establish a five-year $80 million revolving secured senior credit facility (the “2012 Credit Facility”). The 2012 Credit Facility replaced the 2011 Credit Facility. Initial borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility were used in part to repay in full the borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Facility.  

The 2012 Credit Agreement is secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company pursuant to a Security Agreement, dated October 24, 2012, between the Company and Wells Fargo, as agent. The 2012 Credit Agreement includes certain definitions, terms and reporting requirements and includes the following provisions:

At September 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $63.0 million and $49.7 million, respectively, outstanding under its Revolver. The interest rate for borrowings under the Revolver for both periods was the Prime Rate plus 0.50% (or 3.75%), or LIBOR plus 1.50% (or 1.6875%), and the fee payable on committed but unused portions of the Revolver was 0.20%.

Pursuant to the 2012 Credit Agreement, the financial covenants include (a) a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio, measured on a quarter-end basis, not to exceed 3.50:1.00 for the 12 month period ending on such quarter-end; (b) a required minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio under the Revolver, measured on a quarter-end basis, of at least 2.25:1.00 for the 12 month period ending on such quarter-end; and (c) a limitation on annual capital expenditures of $8.0 million for 2012 and subsequent fiscal years. If the consolidated total leverage ratio is in excess of 3.00:1.00 and less than 3.50:1.00, the Company is considered to be in compliance with this financial covenant provided it maintains an asset coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 as of the close of each period. For fiscal year 2013 and subsequent fiscal years, the limitation on annual capital expenditures was increased to $8.0 million from $7.0 million per the Second Amendment, dated June 28, 2013, to the 2012 Credit Agreement.

The consolidated total leverage ratio is the ratio for any period of (i) consolidated total indebtedness to (ii) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Consolidated total indebtedness for any period is the sum of (i) total debt outstanding under the Revolver less available cash on hand, (ii) capital leases and letters of credit outstanding, and (iii) deferred payment obligations. The asset coverage ratio for any period is the ratio of (i) eligible amounts of the Company’s trade payables, inventory and fixed assets, minus certain reserves as defined under the 2012 Credit Agreement to (ii) the sum of outstanding obligations under the 2012 Credit Facility.

The consolidated interest coverage ratio for any period is the ratio of (i) EBITDA minus depreciation to (ii) the sum of consolidated interest expense plus restricted payments made by the Company.  

For the nine months ended September 29, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all three of these financial covenants at each reporting date. The required maximum total leverage ratio, minimum interest coverage ratio, and the annual capital expenditures limitation amounts compared to the actual amounts as of and for the fiscal period ended September 29, 2013 are as follows:

Secured Senior Subordinated Notes  

March 2011 Notes

In connection with entering into the 2011 Credit Agreement, the Company issued $2.5 million principal amount of Secured Senior Subordinated Notes (the “March 2011 Notes”) to each of Tontine Capital Overseas Master Fund II, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“TCOMF2”) and Northcreek Mezzanine Fund I, L.P. (“Northcreek”), or $5.0 million in the aggregate. The March 2011 Notes bore interest at a rate equal to 10% per annum until March 31, 2013 and 13% thereafter, and were scheduled to mature on March 31, 2016. The Company was permitted to prepay all or any portion of the March 2011 Notes at any time based on pre-defined percentages of the principal amount being prepaid.

In connection with the issuance of the March 2011 Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to each of TCOMF2 and Northcreek at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “March 2011 Warrants”). Northcreek and TCOMF2 exercised their individual warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in April 2011 and June 2011, respectively. The debt discount of $0.7 million, which was equal to the fair value of the March 2011 Warrants as of March 31, 2011, was being amortized to interest expense over the life of the March 2011 Notes beginning in the second quarter of 2011. In the fourth quarter of 2012, in connection with the prepayment in full of the March 2011 Notes, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to interest expense to write-off the remaining unamortized portion of the debt discount.

September 2011 Notes

In connection with the financing of the acquisition of AIA, the 2011 Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, allow for the issuance to Northcreek and an affiliate of Northcreek of Secured Senior Subordinated Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2.7 million (the “September 2011 Notes”). The September 2011 Notes bore interest at 13% per annum and were scheduled to mature on March 31, 2016. The Company was permitted to prepay all or any portion of the September 2011 Notes at any time based on pre-defined percentages of the principal amount being prepaid.

On September 16, 2011, in connection with the September 2011 Notes, the Company issued to Northcreek and the affiliate of Northcreek warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 135,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “September 2011 Warrants”).   Northcreek and the affiliate of Northcreek exercised their warrants to purchase in the aggregate 135,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in November 2011. The debt discount of $0.3 million, which was equal to the fair value of the September 2011 Warrants as of September 16, 2011, was being amortized to interest expense over the life of the September 2011 Notes beginning in the third quarter of 2011. In the fourth quarter of 2012, in connection with the prepayment in full of the September 2011 Notes, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to interest expense to write-off the remaining unamortized portion of the debt discount.

Repayments of March 2011 and September 2011 Notes

On March 30, 2012, the Company (i) exercised its option to prepay 10%, or $500,000 in the aggregate, of the original principal amount of its March 2011 Notes at a price of 101% of the principal amount being prepaid plus accrued interest and (ii) exercised its option to prepay 10%, or $270,000 in the aggregate, of the original principal amount of its September 2011 Notes at a price of 101% of the principal amount being prepaid plus accrued interest.

On June 29, 2012, the Company exercised its option to prepay 10%, or $770,000 in the aggregate, of the combined original principal amount of both its March 2011 Notes and September 2011 Notes, at a price of 101% of the principal amount being prepaid plus accrued interest.

On October 24, 2012, the Company used borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility to prepay the remaining combined principal outstanding of $6.16 million of its March 2011 Notes and September 2011 Notes at a price of 104% of the principal amount prepaid plus accrued interest.

Subordinated Secured Promissory Note 

Also in connection with the financing of the AIA acquisition, the 2011 Credit Agreement was amended to allow for the issuance of a 10% Promissory Note to the seller of AIA in the principal amount of $2.0 million. The Promissory Note was scheduled to mature on September 16, 2013 and was payable in eight quarterly installments of $250,000 plus quarterly interest payments beginning on December 16, 2011. On October 24, 2012, the Company used borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility to prepay at par the $1.0 million remaining principal outstanding under the Promissory Note plus accrued interest.

9.      DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company at times enters into certain derivative financial instruments, on a cost-effective basis, to mitigate its risk associated with changes in interest rates. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. All derivatives are recognized on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position at their fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized periodically in earnings or accumulated other comprehensive income within shareholders' equity, depending on the intended use of the derivative and whether the derivative has been designated by management as an ineffective hedging instrument. Changes in fair value of derivative instruments not designated as effective hedging instruments are recognized in earnings in the current period.

Warrants Subject to Revaluation

2008 Warrants

In conjunction with the Second Amendment dated December 11, 2008 to the Company’s credit agreement, dated May 18, 2007 (the “2007 Credit Agreement), the Company issued a series of warrants (the “2008 Warrants”) to its then existing lenders. The Company accounted for the 2008 Warrants as derivative financial instruments. The calculated fair value of the 2008 Warrants was classified as a liability and was periodically remeasured with any changes in value recognized in the stock warrants revaluation line on the condensed consolidated statements of income.  

As of January 1, 2012, there were in aggregate 328,169 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the then remaining 2008 Warrants. In the first quarter of 2012, 154,109 net shares of common stock were issued upon the cashless exercises of 2008 Warrants to purchase 179,531 shares in the aggregate of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of the shares of $1.1 million was reclassified to shareholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

In the second quarter of 2012, 69,106 net shares of common stock were issued upon the cashless exercise of 2008 Warrants to purchase 74,319 shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of these shares of $1.0 million was reclassified to shareholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

In the third quarter of 2012, 68,641 net shares of common stock were issued upon the cashless exercise of the remaining 2008 Warrants to purchase 74,319 shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of these shares of $0.8 million was reclassified to shareholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

The 2008 Warrants were measured until their exercise at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 valuation methodologies. The Company estimates the fair value of all stock warrants outstanding at the end of the period by applying the Black-Scholes model.  The use of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of the fair value and include the dividend yield, exercise price and forfeiture rate.  Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company stock.  The expected term of the stock warrants represents the period of time that the warrants are expected to be outstanding.  The risk free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the valuation for instruments of a similar term. 

There were no 2008 Warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2012. The Company utilized the same methodology to determine the fair value of the 2008 Warrants exercised in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The total fair value of the outstanding warrants as of and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 is as follows:

 10.   FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The 2008 Warrants were included in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Level 2 represents financial instruments lacking quoted prices (unadjusted) from active market exchanges, including over-the-counter exchange-traded financial instruments. The prices for the financial instruments are determined using prices for recently traded financial instruments with similar underlying terms as well as directly or indirectly observable inputs.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and accounts payable approximated fair value as of September 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012 because of the relatively short maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amount of long-term debt approximated fair value as of September 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012 based upon terms and conditions available to the Company at those dates in comparison to the terms and conditions of its outstanding long-term debt.

11.    COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

Accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, relating to changes in accumulated pension benefit was $17,000 at both September 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

12.    INCOME TAXES

At December 31, 2011, the Company had a tax valuation allowance for deferred tax assets net of deferred tax liabilities not expected to be utilized of $15.6 million. No income tax expense or benefit was recorded during the first quarter ended March 31, 2012 because there was a full valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets.

In the second quarter of 2012, the Company determined that it was likely that the remaining net deferred tax assets would be realized based upon sustained profitability and forecasted future operating results. As a result, the Company reversed approximately $6.8 million of the valuation allowance in 2012, of which $6.7 million was reversed in the second quarter of 2012, with the reversal recorded as a non-cash income tax credit on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income. In addition, the Company reversed the balance of its valuation allowance in 2012 to fully offset its 2012 tax provision of approximately $8.8 million.

The Company recorded income taxes at an estimated effective tax rate of 39% in the first and second quarters of 2013. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company determined that its estimated effective tax rate for the full year of 2013 would be approximately 38%. As a result, the Company recorded income taxes at a rate of 35.4% in the third quarter of 2013 in order to achieve a blended rate of 38% for the first nine months of 2013.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had a gross federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forward of approximately $9.8 million that was fully utilized in the first half of 2013. In addition, the Company had various state NOLs of approximately $12.6 million at December 31, 2012, of which approximately $5.5 million were remaining to be utilized as of September 29, 2013. While the Company recorded income taxes at an estimated full year effective rate of 38% in the first nine months of 2013, the federal and state NOLs were used to partially offset the cash portion of the income tax liability for 2013. The Company estimates that it will fully utilize a significant majority of the remaining state NOLs by the end of 2014.

13.    SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those based on its method of internal reporting, which segregates its businesses by product category and production/distribution process.

OVERVIEW OF MARKETS AND RELATED INDUSTRY PERFORMANCE

Summary

The third quarter and first nine months of 2013 reflected a continuation of solid growth in the recreational vehicle (“RV”) market and improving conditions in the industrial markets. The manufactured housing (“MH”) market experienced seasonally typical sales activity in the first nine months of 2013. Overall, we have continued to capture market share through our strategic acquisitions and new product initiatives which resulted in our nine months 2013 sales levels increasing beyond the general industry results. While there remains general uncertainty related to the strength of the overall economic recovery, particularly in light of the U.S. government shutdown in the first half of October 2013, the three primary markets that we serve have experienced steady growth in the first nine months of 2013, which we expect to continue during the remainder of 2013 with the full year seasonal patterns tracking trends consistent with the prior year. In addition, we are seeing resilience, in particular in the RV market, with what we believe to be upside potential in the immediate future based on current indicators.

RV Industry

The RV industry, which is our primary market and comprised 73% of the Company’s nine months 2013 sales, continued to strengthen as evidenced by higher production levels and wholesale unit shipments versus the prior year. According to the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (“RVIA”), shipment levels reached 73,705 units in the third quarter of 2013, representing an increase of approximately 11% versus the prior year period, and resulted in 15 out of 16 quarter-over-quarter increases in shipments. In the first nine months of 2013, shipment levels reached 248,623 units, an increase of approximately 12% over 2012.

We believe industry-wide retail sales and the related production levels of RVs will be dependent on the overall perception of the economy, consumer confidence levels, and conditions in the credit markets. Continued high or increased fuel prices have the potential to negatively impact RV retail unit sales in the short-term, however, we believe that the RV market has a “lifestyle” component to it that will continue to drive a solid base shipment level. The correlation between the indicators mentioned above lead us to believe that the RV industry has a positive longer-term outlook as overall economic conditions and consumer confidence improve. We are anticipating continued steady growth in this market and further believe that RV dealers have the capacity to carry the additional inventory necessary to support this growth, which would maintain an overall balance in the industry from OEM wholesale shipments to dealer inventory levels to retail sales at this time. Additionally, the acquisitions completed in 2012 and 2013 were primarily RV market-based, and contributed to an increase in our RV market sales concentration in both the third quarter and the first nine months of 2013 when compared to the prior year periods.

Although some consumers still remain cautious when deciding whether to purchase discretionary items, such as RVs, long-term demographic trends favor RV industry growth fueled by the anticipated positive impact that aging baby boomers are expected to have on the industry. In particular, lifestyle trends continue to spur demand for RVs, and RV manufacturers in response have sized their products to provide a mix of space, amenities and price to fit a wide range of budget levels related to its general cost-conscious consumer base.

MH Industry

Sales growth in the MH industry, which represented approximately 16% of the Company’s nine months 2013 sales, continues to be limited by the lack of financing alternatives and credit availability, slow job growth, and in certain geographic areas, excess residential housing inventories. According to industry sources for the months of January through August and the Company’s estimate for the month of September, wholesale unit shipments in the third quarter of 2013 and the first nine months of 2013, which continue to trend well below historical levels, increased approximately 9% and 6%, respectively, from the comparable prior year periods. While we do not anticipate significant growth in the MH market, we believe that demand has reached the bottom of the cycle and there is opportunity for moderate growth, with limited downside risk in the near-term assuming the availability of credit and recalibration of quality credit standards. Additionally, manufactured housing provides a cost effective alternative for those individuals and families seeking to establish, or re-establish home ownership, or whose credit ratings have been impacted by the economic and jobs environment over the past several years. We also believe manufactured housing to be an attractive option for those who have migrated to temporary housing alternatives. Factors that may favorably impact production levels further in this industry include quality credit standards in the residential housing market, job growth, favorable changes in financing laws, new tax credits for new homebuyers and other government incentives, higher interest rates on traditional residential housing loans, and improved conditions in the asset-backed securities markets for manufactured housing loans. While there is still overhang related to the overall economic environment and other conditions mentioned above, we believe that there is also longer term potential for this industry as residential housing demand recovers. Manufactured homes are a lower cost alternative to “stick-built” homes and an attractive entry point for many first-time home buyers and individuals and families looking to re-enter the home-ownership market.

Industrial Market

The industrial market, which comprises primarily the kitchen cabinet industry, retail and commercial fixture market, household furniture market and regional distributors, is primarily impacted by macroeconomic conditions, and more specifically, conditions in the residential housing market. The industrial market sector accounted for approximately 11% of the Company’s nine months 2013 sales. As a result of the U.S. government shutdown in the first half of October 2013, the U.S. Department of Commerce will not publish new housing starts data for the month of September 2013 until late November 2013. For the eight month period ended August 2013, new housing starts increased 23% compared to the same period in 2012. We estimate approximately 60% of our industrial revenue base is directly tied to the residential housing market, and we believe there is a direct correlation between the demand for our products in this market and new residential housing construction and remodeling activities. Our sales to this market generally lag new residential housing starts by six to nine months. In order to offset some of the impacts of the weakness in the residential housing market in recent years, we have focused on diversification efforts, strategic acquisitions, and bringing new and innovative products to the market. Additionally, we have targeted certain sales efforts towards market segments that are less directly tied to new residential home construction, including the retail fixture, furniture, and countertop markets. As a result, we have seen a shift in our product mix, which has had a positive impact on revenues from the industrial markets.

We are encouraged by the improvement in market conditions in 2013 and in the long-term believe that there is upside potential as it relates to residential housing growth based on pent up demand, job growth, the availability of credit, and affordable interest rates.

2013 Outlook

While there remains general uncertainty related to the strength of the overall economic recovery, the three primary markets that we serve have experienced steady growth in the first nine months of 2013, which we expect to continue during the remainder of 2013 with full year seasonal patterns tracking trends consistent with the prior year. The RVIA currently forecasts that RV unit shipment levels in 2013 will increase approximately 12% when compared to the full year 2012. In addition, although we anticipate an increase in production levels in the MH industry in 2013, wholesale unit shipments will continue to be well below 2004-2007 sales levels, which averaged approximately 122,600 units during that period. Based on the industry’s current annualized run rates, the Company projects wholesale MH unit shipments for full year 2013 to increase by approximately 7% compared to 2012. New housing starts in 2013 are estimated to improve by approximately 18% year-over-year (as forecasted by the National Association of Home Builders as of September 26, 2013) consistent with improving overall economic conditions.

We believe we are well-positioned to increase revenues in all of the markets that we serve as the overall economic environment improves. While our visibility related to longer-term industry conditions is limited to approximately three to six months, we expect to continue to see year over year revenue growth for the remainder of fiscal 2013, exclusive of the revenue contribution of the acquisitions completed thus far in 2013. We expect that growth in the fourth quarter will be lower than the rates of the first nine months of 2013 because the fourth quarter of 2012 reflected a proportionally greater revenue contribution from the acquisitions completed in 2012 due to their acquisition dates. We will continue to review our operations on a regular basis, balance appropriate risks and opportunities, and maximize efficiencies to support the Company’s long-term strategic growth goals. Our team remains focused on strategic acquisitions, capturing market share and increasing our per unit content, keeping costs aligned with revenue, maximizing operating efficiencies, talent management, and the execution of our organizational strategic agenda. Key focus areas for the balance of 2013 include strategic revenue growth, improved operating income and net income, earnings per share, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), and free cash flow. Additional focus areas include:

In conjunction with our organizational strategic agenda, we will continue to make targeted capital investments to support new business and leverage our operating platform, and we will work to more fully integrate sales efforts to strengthen and broaden customer relationships and meet customer demands with high quality service that exceeds our customers’ expectations. In the first nine months of 2013, capital expenditures were approximately $5.2 million versus $5.3 million in the first nine months of 2012. In June 2013, our 2012 Credit Agreement (as defined herein) was amended to increase the limitation on annual capital expenditures from $7.0 million to $8.0 million for the full year 2013 and for subsequent fiscal years in order to accommodate a forecasted increase in our capital expenditure needs. The current capital plan for full year 2013 includes the continued replacement of our Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system, equipment upgrades to ensure that our facilities have the capacity, capabilities and technology to facilitate our growth plans, and other strategic capital and maintenance improvements and includes expenditures approximating up to $10.0 million. If required based on our actual expenditures, we will seek an additional amendment to our 2012 Credit Agreement from our lenders that would increase the limitation on annual capital expenditures for fiscal 2013 from the current $8.0 million to accommodate the higher level of capital expenditures.

         REVIEW OF CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS

Third Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 29, 2013 Compared to 2012

The following table sets forth the percentage relationship to net sales of certain items on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income.

Net Sales. Net sales in the third quarter of 2013 increased $33.7 million or 29.8%, to $146.6 million from $112.9 million in the third quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to a 35% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV industry, a 16% increase in revenues from the MH industry, and a 25% increase in revenues from the industrial markets.

Excluding the revenue contributions of the four acquisitions completed in 2012 (Décor Mfg., LLC (“Décor”), Gustafson Lighting (“Gustafson”), Creative Wood Designs, Inc. (“Creative Wood”), and Middlebury Hardwood Products, Inc. (“Middlebury Hardwoods”)), and the three acquisitions completed in 2013 (Frontline Mfg., Inc. (“Frontline”), Premier Concepts, Inc. (“Premier”), and John H. McDonald Co., Inc. d/b/a West Side Furniture (“West Side”)), the Company estimates its organic growth in the third quarter of 2013 at approximately 16%, or $17.6 million of the total revenue increase, comprised of growth resulting from market share gains of approximately 6% and growth tied to overall industry improvement of approximately 10%. Of the remaining $16.1 million revenue increase in the third quarter of 2013, or growth of approximately 14% compared to the third quarter of 2012, approximately $14.3 million was attributable to the incremental contribution of the 2012 acquisitions (including related market share and industry growth) and approximately $1.8 million was attributable to the September 2013 acquisitions.

For the nine months ended September 29, 2013, net sales increased $117.1 million or 35.3%, to $448.3 million from $331.2 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to a 44% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV industry, a 12% increase in revenues from the MH industry, and a 25% increase in revenues from the industrial markets.

Excluding the revenue contributions of the acquisitions completed in 2012 and 2013, the Company estimates its organic growth in the first nine months of 2013 at approximately 17%, or $57.8 million of the total revenue increase, comprised of growth resulting from market share gains of approximately 6% and growth tied to overall industry improvement of approximately 11%. Of the remaining $59.3 million revenue increase in the first nine months of 2013, or growth of approximately 18% compared to the first nine months of 2012, approximately $57.5 million was attributable to the incremental contribution of the 2012 acquisitions (including related market share and industry growth) and approximately $1.8 million was attributable to the September 2013 acquisitions.

The sales increase in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 is also primarily attributable to: (i) increased RV market penetration, (ii) improved retail fixture and residential cabinet and furniture business in the industrial market, and (iii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in the MH industry. The increase was partially offset by the impact of the vertical integration efforts of one of our larger customers in the MH market that is producing in-house one of the product lines for certain of its facilities that we had previously been supplying. In addition, that same customer has set up distribution centers that provide certain product lines to several of its own manufacturing facilities that we had previously been supplying. However, increased sales of other products to this same customer helped to offset the overall impact from those vertical integration efforts. Our sales to the industrial market sector, which is primarily tied to the residential housing and commercial and retail fixture markets, generally lag new residential housing starts by approximately six to nine months.

The RV industry, which represented approximately 70% and 73% of the Company’s sales in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, saw wholesale unit shipments increase by approximately 11% and 12%, respectively, in those periods compared to 2012. The MH industry, which represented 18% of the Company’s third quarter 2013 sales, experienced a 9% increase in wholesale unit shipments compared to the prior year period. For the first nine months of 2013, the MH industry represented approximately 16% of the Company’s sales. On a year-to-date basis, the Company estimates that MH unit shipments increased approximately 6% from 2012. The industrial market sector accounted for approximately 12% and 11% of the Company’s sales in the third quarter and first nine months 2013, respectively. We estimate that approximately 60% of our industrial revenue base is directly tied to the residential housing market.

We expect to continue to see overall revenue growth for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the prior year period, exclusive of the revenue contributions of the acquisitions completed in September 2013. We expect that this growth will be lower than the rates of the first nine months of 2013 because the fourth quarter of 2012 reflected a proportionally greater revenue contribution from acquisitions completed in 2012.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold increased $28.8 million or 29.9%, to $124.8 million in third quarter 2013 from $96.0 million in 2012. As a percentage of net sales, cost of goods sold increased during the third quarter of 2013 to 85.1% from 85.0% in 2012. For the first nine months of 2013, cost of goods sold increased $98.8 million or 35.3%, to $378.9 million from $280.1 million in the prior year period. For the first nine months of 2013, cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased to 84.5% from 84.6% in the prior year period.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was positively impacted during the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 by: (i) increased revenues relative to our overall fixed overhead costs, (ii) the impact of acquisitions completed during 2012 and 2013, (iii) actions to reduce or eliminate negative margins on certain products, (iv) increased revenues from the Distribution segment which generally has a lower cost of goods sold percentage than the Manufacturing segment, and (v) ongoing organizational and process changes that enhanced labor efficiencies, reduced scrap and returns, and increased material yields. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales was negatively impacted by general fluctuations in the costs of certain commodities used in the manufacture of our products during the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012.

In addition, higher energy costs and increased demand in certain market sectors can result in fluctuating costs of certain commodities of raw materials and other products that we utilize and distribute from quarter to quarter. The Company continues to explore alternative sources of raw materials and components, both domestically and from overseas. 

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $4.9 million or 29.1%, to $21.8 million in third quarter 2013 from $16.9 million in third quarter 2012. For the nine months periods, gross profit increased $18.2 million or 35.6%, to $69.4 million in 2013 from $51.2 million in 2012. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit decreased to 14.9% in third quarter 2013 from 15.0% in the same period in 2012, and increased to 15.5% in the first nine months of 2013 from 15.4% in the prior year period. The improvement in gross profit dollars in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 and the percentage of net sales in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 2012 reflected the positive impact of the factors discussed above under “Cost of Goods Sold” including the positive contribution to gross profit related to increased revenues relative to our fixed overhead cost, the positive contribution of margin management, organic revenue growth, and the acquisition-related revenue growth noted above.

Economic or industry-wide factors affecting the profitability of our RV, MH, and industrial businesses include the costs of commodities used to manufacture our products and the competitive environment that can cause gross margins to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year. Consistent with prior year seasonal patterns, we expect that gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the fourth quarter of 2013 to be lower than that reported in the third quarter of 2013. However, gross profit as a percentage of net sales should increase from the fourth quarter of 2012. The seasonal factors impacting fourth quarter margins include generally lower industry sales levels, customer holiday shutdown schedules and taking physical inventories at our plants which impact labor and overhead cost absorption. In addition, increased commodity pricing in certain raw materials combined with competitive market conditions could limit our ability to increase prices on certain products consistent with the expected increased costs for this time frame.

Warehouse and Delivery Expenses. Warehouse and delivery expenses increased $1.2 million or 29.5%, to $5.3 million in third quarter 2013 from $4.1 million in third quarter 2012. For the nine months, warehouse and delivery expenses increased $2.8 million or 23.8%, to $14.5 million in 2013 from $11.7 million in 2012. The expense increase in both the third quarter and the first nine months of 2013 was primarily attributable to increased sales volumes.

As a percentage of net sales, warehouse and delivery expenses were 3.6% in both the third quarter 2013 and 2012. This percentage benefited from higher sales volumes relative to fixed costs, offset by the impact of lower sales volumes per delivery truckload due to fluctuating order rates that mainly stemmed from changing production schedules related to the fall dealer show season. For the comparable nine months periods, warehouse and delivery expenses were 3.2% and 3.5% of net sales for 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease as a percentage of net sales for the first nine months of 2013 primarily reflected better utilization of our fleet and truckload delivery capacities as a result of higher sales volumes, and the impact of increased distribution sales volume compared to its associated fixed costs.

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses. SG&A expenses increased $1.6 million or 29.7%, to $7.0 million in third quarter 2013 from $5.4 million in third quarter 2012. For the nine months, SG&A expenses increased $5.1 million or 31.7%, to $21.4 million in 2013 from $16.3 million in 2012. Additional headcount associated with recent acquisitions and an increase in accrued incentive compensation related to higher levels of operating profits contributed to a net increase in selling and administrative wages, incentives and payroll taxes in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 compared to the prior year periods. As a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses were 4.8% in both third quarter 2013 and 2012, and were 4.8% in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 4.9% in 2012.

Amortization of Intangible Assets. Amortization of intangible assets increased $0.2 million and $0.6 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, compared to the prior year periods, primarily reflecting the impact of businesses acquired in 2012 (Décor, Gustafson, Creative Wood and Middlebury Hardwoods) and in 2013 (Frontline, Premier and West Side). The intangible assets associated with the acquisition of West Side will be amortized beginning in the fourth quarter of 2013. In the aggregate, in conjunction with the 2012 and 2013 acquisitions, the Company recognized $15.9 million in certain finite-lived intangible assets that are being amortized over periods ranging from three to 10 years.

(Gain) Loss on Sale of Fixed Assets and Acquisition of Business. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company sold the facility that housed its distribution operation in Halstead, Kansas and recorded a pretax gain on sale of approximately $0.4 million for the first nine months of 2013.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Gustafson in July 2012, the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of $3.0 million exceeded the fair value of the purchase price of the business of $2.8 million. As a result, the Company recognized a gain of $0.2 million associated with the acquisition. The gain is included in this line item for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012 in addition to a gain on the sale of fixed assets for the third quarter and nine months of 2012 of $11,000 and $14,000, respectively.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $1.7 million or 22.8% to $9.0 million in third quarter 2013 from $7.3 million in the prior year. For the nine months, operating income increased $9.9 million or 44.1% to $32.3 million from $22.4 million in 2012. The change in operating income is primarily attributable to the items discussed above.

Stock Warrants Revaluation. The stock warrants revaluation credit of $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2012 and an expense of $1.7 million in the first nine months of 2012 represents non-cash charges or credits related to mark-to-market accounting for common stock warrants issued to the Company’s former senior lenders in conjunction with the December 2008 amendment to the 2007 Credit Agreement (as defined herein) (the “2008 Warrants”).

In the first quarter of 2012, 154,109 net shares of common stock were issued upon the cashless exercise of 2008 Warrants to purchase 179,531 shares in the aggregate of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of these shares of $1.1 million was reclassified to shareholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

In the second quarter of 2012, 69,106 net shares of common stock were issued upon the cashless exercise of 2008 Warrants to purchase 74,319 shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of these shares of $1.0 million was reclassified to shareholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

In the third quarter of 2012, 68,641 net shares of common stock were issued upon the cashless exercise of the remaining 2008 Warrants to purchase 74,319 shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of these shares of $0.8 million was reclassified to shareholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position. As of September 30, 2012, all of the 2008 Warrants had been exercised. See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Warrants Subject to Revaluation”) for further details.

Interest Expense, Net. Interest expense decreased $0.3 million to $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $0.8 million in 2012. For the nine months, interest expense decreased $0.9 million to $1.6 million from $2.5 million in 2012. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, borrowing rates under the 2012 Credit Facility (as defined herein) were lower than the interest rates under the 2011 Credit Facility (as defined herein) in the comparable periods in 2012, as well as the interest rates on the March 2011 Notes (as defined herein), the September 2011 Notes (as defined herein), and the 10% Promissory Note issued in September 2011, all of which were outstanding during the third quarter and first nine months of 2012. These notes were repaid in full in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012.

Income Taxes. The Company recorded income taxes at an estimated effective tax rate of 39% in the first and second quarters of 2013. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company determined that its estimated effective tax rate for the full year of 2013 would be approximately 38%. As a result, the Company recorded income taxes at a rate of 35.4% in the third quarter of 2013 in order to achieve a blended rate of 38% for the first nine months of 2013. The effective tax rate in the comparable periods in 2012 was 0%. As we continue to refine our state income tax estimates, which are impacted by shifts in apportionment factors among states as a result of recent acquisition activity and other factors, we could experience further fluctuations in our combined effective income tax rate from period to period and for the full year of 2013.

At January 1, 2012, the Company carried a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets. In the second quarter of 2012, the Company determined that it was likely that the remaining net deferred tax assets would be realized based upon sustained profitability and forecasted future operating results. As a result of this determination, the Company reversed approximately $6.8 million of the valuation allowance in 2012, of which $6.7 million was reversed in the second quarter of 2012, with the reversal recorded as a non-cash income tax credit on the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of income. In addition, the Company reversed the balance of its valuation allowance in 2012 to fully offset its 2012 tax provision of approximately $8.8 million, resulting in the 0% effective tax rate described above for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had a gross federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carry forward of approximately $9.8 million that was fully utilized in the first half of 2013. In addition, the Company had various state NOLs of approximately $12.6 million at December 31, 2012, of which approximately $5.5 million were remaining to be utilized as of September 29, 2013. The Company estimates that it will fully utilize a significant majority of the remaining state NOLs by the end of 2014.

As of December 31, 2012, both the federal and state NOLs included approximately $3.7 million of taxable deductions related to unrealized excess benefits on stock-based compensation, which had not been recorded as deferred tax assets. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company realized approximately $2.3 million of additional taxable deductions related to excess benefits on stock-based compensation, which had also not been recorded as deferred tax assets. In the second quarter of 2013, based on the utilization of the federal NOL and a portion of the state NOLs, the Company realized a tax benefit of approximately $2.4 million related to these excess benefits from stock-based compensation at its then estimated effective combined 39% federal and state tax rate. The tax benefit was recorded to shareholders’ equity upon realization in the second quarter of 2013.   

The federal and state NOLs discussed above were used to partially offset the cash portion of the income tax provision for 2013. In 2013, the Company is making quarterly estimated tax payments consistent with its expected annual 2013 federal and state income tax liability.

Net Income. Net income for third quarter 2013 was $5.5 million or $0.51 per diluted share compared to $6.6 million or $0.60 per diluted share for 2012. For the first nine months, net income was $19.0 million or $1.76 per diluted share in 2013 compared to $24.9 million or $2.32 per diluted share for 2012. The changes in net income for both the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 reflect the impact of the items previously discussed, including (i) income tax provisions of $3.0 million and $11.7 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, or $0.28 and $1.08 per diluted share, respectively, and (ii) the reversal of the tax valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2012, which increased net income by $6.7 million in the first nine months of 2012, or $0.62 per diluted share.

REVIEW BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those based on its method of internal reporting, which segregates its businesses by product category and production/distribution process.

The Company’s reportable business segments are as follows:

Third Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 29, 2013 Compared to 2012

General

Sales pertaining to the Manufacturing and Distribution segments as stated in the following discussions include intersegment sales. Gross profit includes the impact of intersegment operating activity.

The table below presents information about the sales, gross profit and operating income of the Company’s operating segments. A reconciliation to consolidated operating income is presented in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Manufacturing 

Sales. Sales increased $32.0 million or 37.2%, to $117.9 million in third quarter 2013 from $85.9 million in 2012. In the first nine months of 2013, sales increased $102.3 million or 39.0%, to $364.6 million from $262.3 million in the first nine months of 2012. This segment accounted for approximately 77% and 78% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, and 73% and 76% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively. In the third quarter of 2013, the sales increase reflected 44% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV industry, a 15% increase from the MH industry, and a 28% increase in revenue from the industrial markets. On a year-to-date basis, the sales increase reflected a 47%, 11% and 29% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV industry, MH industry, and industrial markets, respectively. The increase in revenue from the MH market was partially offset by the impact of the vertical integration efforts of one of the Company’s larger MH customers that is producing in-house one of the product lines for certain of its facilities that the Company had previously been supplying. However, increased sales of other manufactured products to this same customer helped to offset the overall impact from those vertical integration efforts.    

Approximately $13.2 million and $48.9 million of the revenue improvement in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, was attributable to the incremental contribution of acquisitions completed in 2012 (including related market share and industry growth). An additional $1.5 million of the revenue improvement in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 was attributable to the contribution of the acquisitions completed in the third quarter of 2013. The remaining sales increase of $17.3 million and $51.9 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively, is primarily attributable to: (i) increased RV market penetration, (ii) an increase in wholesale unit shipments in the RV industry of 11% and 12%, respectively, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013; (iii) an estimated increase of 9% and 6%, respectively, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 in MH wholesale unit shipments; and (iv) improved retail fixture and residential cabinet and furniture business in the industrial markets.

Excluding the revenue contributions of the 2012 and 2013 acquisitions, the Company estimates its organic revenue growth in the Manufacturing segment in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 at approximately 22% and 21%, respectively. We expect to continue to see overall revenue growth for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 compared to the prior year period, exclusive of the revenue contributions of the acquisitions completed in September 2013. We expect that growth in the fourth quarter will be lower than the rates of the first nine months of 2013 because the fourth quarter of 2012 reflected a proportionally greater revenue contribution from acquisitions completed in 2012.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $4.0 million to $16.4 million in third quarter 2013 from $12.4 million in third quarter 2012. As a percentage of sales, gross profit decreased to 14.0% in third quarter 2013 from 14.5% in 2012.

Gross profit increased $15.1 million to $54.0 million in the first nine months of 2013 from $38.9 million in the prior year period. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 14.8% for both the first nine months of 2013 and 2012. Gross profit for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 improved primarily as a result of: (i) higher revenues, (ii) the impact of acquisitions completed during 2012 and 2013, (iii) increased profitability at our Midwest manufacturing divisions, which benefited from actions to reduce or eliminate negative margins on certain products, and (iv) ongoing organizational and process changes that enhanced labor efficiencies, reduced scrap and returns, and increased material yields.

Operating Income. Operating income increased $2.0 million to $9.3 million in third quarter 2013 from $7.3 million in the prior year. For the first nine months of 2013, operating income increased by $10.3 million to $34.4 million from $24.1 million in 2012. The improvement in operating income primarily reflects the increase in gross profit mentioned above and, for the year-to-date period, lower warehouse and delivery expenses as a percentage of sales.     

Distribution

Sales. Sales increased $3.5 million or 11.4%, to $34.5 million in the third quarter of 2013 from $31.0 million in 2012. In the first nine months of 2013, sales increased $19.4 million or 23.7%, to $101.4 million from $82.0 million in the first nine months of 2012. This segment accounted for approximately 23% and 22% of the Company’s consolidated net sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, and approximately 27% and 24% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively. In the third quarter of 2013, the sales increase reflected a 10% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV industry and an 18% increase in revenue from the MH industry. On a year-to-date basis, the sales increase reflected a 32% and a 14% increase in the Company’s revenue from the RV and MH industries, respectively.

The acquisition of Gustafson in the third quarter of 2012 accounted for approximately $1.1 million and $8.6 million of the revenue increase in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively. The acquisition of West Side in the third quarter of 2013 accounted for approximately $0.3 million of the revenue increase in both the third quarter and first nine months of 2013. Sales were also positively impacted during the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 by an estimated 9% and 6% increase, respectively, in wholesale unit shipments in the MH industry, which is the primary market this segment serves. Excluding the revenue contributions of the 2012 and 2013 acquisitions, the Company estimates its organic revenue growth in the Distribution segment at approximately 8% and 13% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013, respectively.

Gross Profit. Gross profit increased $1.0 million to $5.8 million in third quarter 2013 from $4.8 million in 2012. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 16.9% in third quarter 2013 compared to 15.6% in 2012.

For the first nine months of 2013, gross profit increased $4.1 million to $17.3 million in 2013 compared to $13.2 million in 2012. As a percentage of sales, gross profit was 17.1% in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 16.1% in 2012. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2013 is primarily attributable to the impact of increased Distribution segment revenues relative to fixed costs.    

Operating Income. Operating income in third quarter 2013 increased $0.4 million to $2.0 million from $1.6 million in the prior year period. For the first nine months of 2013, operating income increased $2.0 million to $6.3 million from $4.3 million in the first nine months of 2012. The overall increase in revenues, as well as the acquisition of several new product lines during 2012 and 2013, in particular the Gustafson distribution business acquired in the third quarter of 2012, made a positive contribution to operating income during the third quarter and first nine months of 2013. The acquisition of West Side in late September 2013 did not have a material impact on operating results in the third quarter and first nine months of 2013.

Unallocated Corporate Expenses

Unallocated corporate expenses in the third quarter of 2013 increased $0.3 million to $1.9 million from $1.6 million in the comparable prior year period. In the first nine months of 2013, unallocated corporate expenses increased $1.9 million to $7.3 million from $5.4 million in the first nine months of 2012 primarily reflecting an increase in administrative wages, incentives and payroll taxes, and additional headcount associated with recent acquisitions.

 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows 

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operations represent the net income earned in the reported periods adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operating activities, cash reserves and borrowings under our 2012 Credit Facility. Our principal uses of cash in 2013 are to support working capital demands, support our acquisition and capital expenditure plans, and the repurchase of the Company’s common stock.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $21.5 million in the first nine months of 2013 compared to $14.6 million in the first nine months of 2012. Net income was $19.0 million in the first nine months of 2013 compared to $24.9 million in the 2012 period (which included a $6.7 million non-cash income tax credit related to the reversal of the deferred tax valuation allowance in the second quarter of 2012). Trade receivables increased $14.3 million in both the first nine months of 2013 and 2012 reflecting increased sales levels in each of those periods, including the post-acquisition sales increases of the acquisitions completed in 2012 and 2013.

Inventories increased $6.8 million in the first nine months of 2013 compared to a $9.9 million increase in the comparable 2012 period, primarily reflecting an increase in sales volumes and the Company’s efforts to continue to be able to meet anticipated rising customer demand in its end markets, as well as the post-acquisition sales increases of the 2012 and 2013 acquisitions. While the Company continues to aggressively manage inventory turns by closely following customer sales levels and increasing or reducing purchases accordingly, we made certain strategic decisions in the first nine months of 2013 to increase our inventory levels to be able to meet anticipated demand, thus resulting in lower inventory turn levels. We expect our inventory turn levels to begin to increase in the fourth quarter of 2013 and into the first quarter of 2014 based on the expected seasonality of our business, and we will work together with key suppliers to match lead-time and minimum order requirements and to take advantage of strategic buying opportunities.

From a tax perspective, the Company had federal and state NOLs for the past several years resulting in virtually no cash taxes being paid other than franchise taxes and various state filing taxes. At December 31, 2012, the Company had a gross federal NOL of approximately $9.8 million that it fully utilized in the first six months of 2013, and various state NOLs of approximately $12.6 million, of which approximately $5.5 million were remaining to be utilized as of September 29, 2013. The Company expects to utilize a significant majority of the remaining state NOLs by the end of 2014.

As of December 31, 2012, both the federal and state NOLs included approximately $3.7 million of taxable deductions related to unrealized excess benefits on stock-based compensation, which had not been recorded as deferred tax assets. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company realized approximately $2.3 million of additional taxable deductions related to excess benefits on stock-based compensation, which had also not been recorded as deferred tax assets. In the second quarter of 2013, based on the utilization of the federal NOL and a portion of the state NOLs, the Company realized a tax benefit of approximately $2.4 million related to these excess benefits from stock-based compensation, at its then estimated effective combined 39% federal and state tax rate. The tax benefit was recorded to shareholders’ equity upon realization in the second quarter of 2013.   

The Company recorded income taxes at an estimated effective tax rate of 39% in the first and second quarters of 2013. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company determined that its estimated effective tax rate for the full year of 2013 would be approximately 38%. As a result, the Company recorded income taxes at a rate of 35.4% in the third quarter of 2013 in order to achieve a blended rate of 38% for the first nine months of 2013. As we continue to refine our state income tax estimates, which are impacted by shifts in apportionment factors among states as a result of recent acquisition activity and other factors, we could experience further fluctuations in our combined effective income tax rate for the full year of 2013.

The federal and state NOLs discussed above were used to partially offset the cash portion of the income tax provision for 2013. In 2013, the Company is making quarterly estimated tax payments consistent with its expected annual 2013 federal and state income tax liability.

Investing Activities 

Investing activities used cash of $20.8 million in the first nine months of 2013 primarily to fund: (i) the acquisitions of Frontline, Premier and West Side, together totaling $16.5 million; and (ii) capital expenditures of $5.2 million. In addition, investing activities provided cash of $1.0 million related to net proceeds from the sale of the Kansas distribution facility and the sale of various machinery and equipment. In October 2013 (the beginning of the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter), the Company purchased one of its distribution facilities, that it had previously been leasing from an unrelated third party, for approximately $1.7 million. Cash used in investing activities of $14.5 million in the first nine months of 2012 was primarily to fund the acquisitions of Décor, Gustafson and Creative Wood, together totaling $9.2 million, and to fund capital expenditures of $5.3 million.

The capital plan for full year 2013 includes spending related to the continued replacement of our current ERP system, equipment upgrades to ensure that our facilities have the capacity, capabilities and technology to facilitate our growth plans, and other strategic capital and maintenance improvements. Our current operating model forecasts capital expenditures for fiscal 2013 to approximate up to $10.0 million. If required based on our actual expenditures, we will seek an additional amendment to our 2012 Credit Agreement from our lenders that would increase the limitation on annual capital expenditures for fiscal 2013 from the current $8.0 million to accommodate the higher level of capital expenditures.

During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company commenced a project to replace and upgrade its existing ERP system. The ERP system replacement and related process improvements are expected to result in modifications to our internal controls and supporting financial, manufacturing, and distribution transaction processing and reporting. The implementation of these changes to software and systems is expected to be executed in phases over a period of 18 to 24 months which began in the fourth quarter of 2012. Total capital expenditures on the ERP project are projected to be $1.0 million in 2013.

Financing Activities

Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $9.4 million in the first nine months of 2013 compared to $0.2 million in the comparable 2012 period.

For the first nine months of 2013, net long-term debt borrowings of $13.3 million included borrowings on the 2012 Credit Facility to fund the September 2013 acquisitions. The total long-term debt balance of $63.0 million at September 29, 2013 also reflected the timing difference between customer cash collections at the end of the quarter and the application of this cash to repay our revolver, resulting in a cash balance of $10.5 million on such date. As of September 29, 2013, the committed but unused portion of the revolving line of credit was approximately $15.6 million.

In the first nine months of 2013, the Company used cash to repurchase 407,330 shares of common stock, for an aggregate purchase price of $6.1 million, under the $10 million stock repurchase program authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors in February 2013. There were no repurchases of the Company’s stock made in the third quarter of 2013. As of September 29, 2013, there was approximately $3.9 million available to be purchased under the authorized stock repurchase program. Cash provided by financing activities in the first nine months of 2013 also included $2.4 million related to the realization of the excess tax benefit on stock-based compensation with no comparable amount in the prior year. See the related discussion above under "Cash Flows - Operating Activities" for additional details.

For the first nine months of 2012, net long-term debt payments of $12,000 consisted of borrowings on the Company’s revolving line of credit of $2.3 million that were offset by (i) the repayment of $0.75 million principal amount of the 10% Promissory Note issued in September 2011 to the seller of AIA, and (ii) by the optional prepayment on each of March 30, 2012 and June 29, 2012 of $770,000 or 10% of the combined $7.7 million original principal amount of the Company’s March 2011 Notes and September 2011 Notes, that were issued in connection with the March 2011 refinancing of the Company’s previous credit facility and the financing of the AIA acquisition in September 2011, respectively.

Capital Resources

2008 Warrants

In conjunction with the Second Amendment dated December 11, 2008 to the Company’s credit agreement, dated May 18, 2007 (the “2007 Credit Agreement”), the Company issued the 2008 Warrants to its then existing lenders. The Company accounted for the 2008 Warrants as derivative financial instruments. The calculated fair value of the 2008 Warrants was classified as a liability and was periodically remeasured with any changes in value recognized in the stock warrants revaluation line on the condensed consolidated statements of income.  

As of January 1, 2012, there were in aggregate 328,169 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the then remaining 2008 Warrants. In the first quarter of 2012, 154,109 net shares of common stock were issued upon the cashless exercises of 2008 Warrants to purchase 179,531 shares in the aggregate of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of these shares of $1.1 million was reclassified to shareholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

In the second quarter of 2012, 69,106 net shares of common stock were issued upon the cashless exercise of 2008 Warrants to purchase 74,319 shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of these shares of $1.0 million was reclassified to shareholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

In the third quarter of 2012, 68,641 net shares were issued upon the cashless exercise of the remaining 2008 Warrants to purchase 74,319 shares of the Company’s common stock. The fair value of these shares of $0.8 million was reclassified to shareholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

2011 Credit Facility

Prior to October 24, 2012, the Company’s debt financing was supported by its credit agreement, dated March 31, 2011, as amended, among the Company, Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC (“WFCF”), as the lender and agent, and Fifth-Third Bank (“Fifth-Third”) as participant (the “2011 Credit Agreement”), which consisted of a $50 million revolving secured senior credit facility (the “2011 Credit Facility”). The 2011 Credit Facility was scheduled to mature on March 31, 2015.   

2012 Credit Facility

On October 24, 2012, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “2012 Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as the agent and lender (“Wells Fargo”), and Fifth-Third as participant (collectively, the “Lenders”), to establish a five-year $80 million revolving secured senior credit facility (the “2012 Credit Facility”). The 2012 Credit Facility replaced the 2011 Credit Facility. Initial borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility were used in part to repay in full the borrowings outstanding under the 2011 Credit Facility.  

The 2012 Credit Agreement is secured by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of the Company pursuant to a Security Agreement, dated October 24, 2012, between the Company and Wells Fargo, as agent. The 2012 Credit Agreement includes certain definitions, terms and reporting requirements and includes the following provisions:

At September 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $63.0 million and $49.7 million, respectively, outstanding under its Revolver. The interest rate for borrowings under the Revolver for both periods was the Prime Rate plus 0.50% (or 3.75%), or LIBOR plus 1.50% (or 1.6875%), and the fee payable on committed but unused portions of the Revolver was 0.20%.

Pursuant to the 2012 Credit Agreement, the financial covenants include (a) a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio, measured on a quarter-end basis, not to exceed 3.50:1.00 for the 12 month period ending on such quarter-end; (b) a required minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio under the Revolver, measured on a quarter-end basis, of at least 2.25:1.00 for the 12 month period ending on such quarter-end; and (c) a limitation on annual capital expenditures of $8.0 million for 2012 and subsequent fiscal years. If the consolidated total leverage ratio is in excess of 3.00:1.00 and less than 3.50:1.00, the Company is considered to be in compliance with this financial covenant provided it maintains an asset coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 as of the close of each period. For fiscal year 2013 and subsequent fiscal years, the limitation on annual capital expenditures was increased to $8.0 million from $7.0 million per the Second Amendment, dated June 28, 2013, to the 2012 Credit Agreement.

The consolidated total leverage ratio is the ratio for any period of (i) consolidated total indebtedness to (ii) EBITDA. Consolidated total indebtedness for any period is the sum of (i) total debt outstanding under the Revolver less available cash on hand, (ii) capital leases and letters of credit outstanding, and (iii) deferred payment obligations. The asset coverage ratio for any period is the ratio of (i) eligible amounts of the Company’s trade payables, inventory and fixed assets, minus certain reserves as defined under the 2012 Credit Agreement to (ii) the sum of outstanding obligations under the 2012 Credit Facility.

The consolidated interest coverage ratio for any period is the ratio of (i) EBITDA minus depreciation to (ii) the sum of consolidated interest expense plus restricted payments made by the Company.

For the nine months ended September 29, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all three of these financial covenants at each reporting date. The required maximum total leverage ratio, minimum interest coverage ratio, and the annual capital expenditures limitation amounts compared to the actual amounts as of and for the fiscal period ended September 29, 2013 are as follows:

 Secured Senior Subordinated Notes  

March 2011 Notes

In connection with entering into the 2011 Credit Agreement, the Company issued $2.5 million principal amount of Secured Senior Subordinated Notes (the “March 2011 Notes”) to each of Tontine Capital Overseas Master Fund II, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“TCOMF2”) and Northcreek Mezzanine Fund I, L.P. (“Northcreek”), or $5.0 million in the aggregate. The March 2011 Notes bore interest at a rate equal to 10% per annum until March 31, 2013 and 13% thereafter, and were scheduled to mature on March 31, 2016.

In connection with the issuance of the March 2011 Notes, the Company issued warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to each of TCOMF2 and Northcreek at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “March 2011 Warrants”). Northcreek and TCOMF2 exercised their individual warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in April 2011 and June 2011, respectively. The debt discount of $0.7 million, which was equal to the fair value of the March 2011 Warrants as of March 31, 2011, was being amortized to interest expense over the life of the March 2011 Notes beginning in the second quarter of 2011. In the fourth quarter of 2012, in connection with the prepayment in full of the March 2011 Notes, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to interest expense to write-off the remaining unamortized portion of the debt discount.

September 2011 Notes

In connection with the financing of the acquisition of AIA, the 2011 Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, allow for the issuance to Northcreek and an affiliate of Northcreek of Secured Senior Subordinated Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2.7 million (the “September 2011 Notes”). The September 2011 Notes bore interest at 13% per annum and were scheduled to mature on March 31, 2016.

In connection with the issuance of the September 2011 Notes, the Company issued to Northcreek and the affiliate of Northcreek warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 135,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “September 2011 Warrants”). Northcreek and the affiliate of Northcreek exercised their warrants to purchase in the aggregate 135,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in November 2011. The debt discount of $0.3 million, which was equal to the fair value of the September 2011 Warrants as of September 16, 2011, was being amortized to interest expense over the life of the September 2011 Notes beginning in the third quarter of 2011. In the fourth quarter of 2012, in connection with the prepayment in full of the September 2011 Notes, the Company recorded a non-cash charge to interest expense to write-off the remaining unamortized portion of the debt discount.

Repayments of March 2011 and September 2011 Notes

On March 30, 2012, the Company (i) exercised its option to prepay 10%, or $500,000 in the aggregate, of the original principal amount of its March 2011 Notes at a price of 101% of the principal amount being prepaid plus accrued interest, and (ii) exercised its option to prepay 10%, or $270,000 in the aggregate, of the original principal amount of its September 2011 Notes at a price of 101% of the principal amount being prepaid plus accrued interest.

On June 29, 2012, the Company exercised its option to prepay 10%, or $770,000 in the aggregate, of the combined original principal amount of both its March 2011 Notes and September 2011 Notes, at a price of 101% of the principal amount being prepaid plus accrued interest.

On October 24, 2012, the Company used borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility to prepay the remaining combined principal outstanding of $6.16 million of its March 2011 Notes and September 2011 Notes at a price of 104% of the principal amount prepaid plus accrued interest.

Subordinated Secured Promissory Note 

Also in connection with the financing of the AIA acquisition, the 2011 Credit Agreement was further amended to allow for the issuance of a 10% Promissory Note to the seller of AIA in the principal amount of $2.0 million. The Promissory Note was scheduled to mature on September 16, 2013 and was payable in eight quarterly installments of $250,000 plus quarterly interest payments beginning on December 16, 2011. On October 24, 2012, the Company used borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility to prepay at par the $1.0 million remaining principal outstanding under the Promissory Note plus accrued interest.

Summary of Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations, which includes selling our products and collecting receivables, available cash reserves and borrowing capacity available under the 2012 Credit Facility. Our primary uses of cash are to meet working capital demands, support our acquisition and capital expenditure plans, and the repurchase of the Company’s common stock.

Borrowings under the revolving line of credit under the 2012 Credit Facility are subject to a maximum borrowing limit of $80.0 million and are subject to variable rates of interest. Based on certain circumstances, the Company has the option to increase the revolving credit in an amount of up to $20.0 million upon request to and subject to the approval of the Lenders. The unused availability under the 2012 Credit Facility as of September 29, 2013 was $15.6 million. In addition, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $10.5 million as of September 29, 2013. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents, cash generated from operations, and available borrowings under our 2012 Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months, exclusive of any acquisitions, based on our current cash flow budgets and forecasts of our short-term and long-term liquidity needs.

Our ability to access unused borrowing capacity under the 2012 Credit Facility as a source of liquidity is dependent on our maintaining compliance with the financial covenants as specified under the terms of the 2012 Credit Agreement. In the first nine months of 2013 and for the fiscal period ended December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants at each reporting date as required under the terms of the 2012 Credit Agreement.

In 2013, our management team is focused on increasing market share, maintaining margins, the implementation of our new ERP system, keeping costs aligned with revenue, further improving operating efficiencies, managing inventory levels and pricing, and acquiring businesses/product lines that meet established criteria, all of which may impact our sources and uses of cash from period to period and impact our liquidity levels. In addition, future liquidity and capital resources may be impacted as we continue to make targeted capital investments to support new business and leverage our operating platform and to repurchase common stock in conjunction with the Company’s previously announced stock buyback program. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company commenced a project to replace and upgrade its ERP system that will require upgrades to and/or the replacement of existing hardware and software in addition to costs incurred from the services provided by third party consultants. The implementation of these changes to software and systems is expected to be executed in phases over a period of 18 to 24 months which began in the fourth quarter of 2012.     

Our working capital requirements vary from period to period depending on manufacturing volumes related to the RV and MH industries, the timing of deliveries, and the payment cycles of our customers. In the event that our operating cash flow is inadequate and one or more of our capital resources were to become unavailable, we would seek to revise our operating strategies accordingly. We will continue to assess our liquidity position and potential sources of supplemental liquidity in view of our operating performance, current economic and capital market conditions, and other relevant circumstances.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies which are summarized in the MD&A and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

OTHER

Seasonality

Manufacturing operations in the RV and MH industries historically have been seasonal and are generally at the highest levels when the climate is moderate. Accordingly, the Company’s sales and profits had generally been the highest in the second and third quarters. However, seasonal industry trends in the past several years have been different from prior years, primarily reflecting fluctuations in RV dealer inventories and more importantly the addition of major RV manufacturer open houses for dealers to the September/October timeframes, whereby dealers are delaying purchases until new product lines are introduced at these shows. Consequently, and as a result of our increasing concentration in the RV industry, the seasonal trend pattern has shifted with the strongest sales and profit being reported generally in the first and second quarters of the fiscal year.

Inflation

The prices of key raw materials, consisting primarily of lauan, gypsum, and particleboard, and components used by the Company that are made from these raw materials, are influenced by demand and other factors specific to these commodities, such as the price of oil, rather than being directly affected by inflationary pressures. Prices of certain commodities have historically been volatile and have continued to fluctuate since late 2012. During periods of rising commodity prices, we have generally been able to pass the increased costs to our customers in the form of surcharges and price increases. We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on results of operations for the periods presented.

INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Company makes forward-looking statements with respect to financial condition, results of operations, business strategies, operating efficiencies or synergies, competitive position, growth opportunities for existing products, plans and objectives of management, markets for the common stock of Patrick Industries, Inc. and other matters from time to time and desires to take advantage of the “safe harbor” which is afforded such statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 when they are accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. The statements contained in the foregoing “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, as well as other statements contained in the quarterly report and statements contained in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), publicly disseminated press releases, quarterly earnings conference calls, and statements which may be made from time to time in the future by management of the Company in presentations to shareholders, prospective investors, and others interested in the business and financial affairs of the Company, which are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Any projections of financial performance or statements concerning expectations as to future developments should not be construed in any manner as a guarantee that such results or developments will, in fact, occur. There can be no assurance that any forward-looking statement will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly different from that set forth in such forward-looking statement. The Company does not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law. Factors that may affect the Company’s operations and prospects are contained in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, and in the Company's Form 10-Qs for subsequent quarterly periods, which are filed with the SEC and are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to the Company, including consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting. In the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company commenced a project to replace and upgrade its ERP system that will require upgrades to and/or the replacement of existing hardware and software. As a result, certain internal controls have been incrementally strengthened, and will continue to be strengthened, due both to the installation of ERP system and business process changes. Implementation of additional functions of the ERP system and business process changes are expected to be executed in phases over a period of 18 to 24 months which began in the fourth quarter of 2012 to further strengthen the Company’s internal control. In addition, the Company plans to convert systems used by recently acquired businesses to the new ERP system based on a pre-defined timeline.

Other than the changes above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) that occurred during the third quarter ended September 29, 2013 or subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.      

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION

Items 1, 3, 4 and 5 of Part II are not applicable and have been omitted.

ITEM 1A.     RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 except for the following:

A major portion of our common stock is held by Tontine Capital Partners, L.P. and affiliates (collectively, “Tontine Capital”), which has the ability to influence our affairs significantly, including all matters requiring shareholder approval, and whose interests may not be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders. In addition, the ownership of a significant portion of our common stock is concentrated in the hands of a few holders.

Based on information contained in filings by Tontine Capital with the SEC on April 3, 2013, May 7, 2013, May 17, 2013 and October 11, 2013, the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock beneficially owned by Tontine Capital decreased from 3,977,636 shares or 37.2% of our common stock then outstanding to 3,309,430 shares or 31.3% as of October 1, 2013, reflecting the disposition on May 3 through May 7, 2013 and May 15 through May 17, 2013 of 85,890 shares in the aggregate held by an affiliate of Tontine Capital, as well as the distribution on April 1, 2013 and October 1, 2013 of 82,316 shares and 500,000 shares, respectively, to investors in connection with the redemption of ownership interests in an affiliate of Tontine Capital held by those investors.

Tontine Capital has the ability to influence our affairs significantly, including all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of our directors, the adoption of amendments to our Articles of Incorporation, the approval of mergers and sales of all or substantially all of our assets, decisions affecting our capital structure and other significant corporate transactions. In addition to its current major interest, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement with Tontine Capital, dated April 10, 2007, if Tontine Capital (i) holds between 7.5% and 14.9% of our common stock then outstanding, Tontine Capital has the right to appoint one nominee to our board; or (ii) holds at least 15% of our common stock then outstanding, Tontine Capital has the right to appoint two nominees to our board. As of September 29, 2013, Tontine Capital has one director on the Company’s board of directors and has not exercised its right to nominate a second director to the board.

The interests of Tontine Capital may not in all cases be aligned with the interests of our other shareholders. The influence of Tontine Capital may also have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers, delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our shareholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in their best interests. In addition, Tontine Capital and its affiliates are in the business of investing in companies and may, from time to time, invest in companies that compete directly or indirectly with us. Tontine Capital and its affiliates may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us.

We are not able to predict whether or when Tontine Capital or other large stockholders will sell or otherwise dispose of additional shares of our common stock. Sales or other dispositions of our common stock by these stockholders could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock.

ITEM 2.     UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In the third quarter of 2013, the Company made no repurchases of its common stock under its authorized stock repurchase program. In the first nine months of 2013, the Company repurchased 407,330 shares through the open market or in privately negotiated transactions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $6.1 million. As of September 29, 2013, there was approximately $3.9 million available to be purchased under the Company’s existing stock repurchase program.
