NOTE 1 BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND OPINION OF MANAGEMENT
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do not include all of the information and financial statement disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, the information furnished herein includes all adjustments necessary to reflect a fair statement of the interim periods reported. The December 25, 2010 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. References to we, us, our, its, Supreme, or the Company refer to Supreme Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The Company has adopted a 52- or 53-week fiscal year ending the last Saturday in December. The results of operations for the three months ended July 2, 2011 and June 26, 2010 are for 13-week periods. The results of operations for the six months ended July 2, 2011 and June 26, 2010 are for 27- and 26-week periods, respectively.
NOTE 2 DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Effective December 25, 2010, the Company decided to cease operations at its Woodburn, Oregon manufacturing facility. The Oregon operations were discontinued due to the Companys decision to exit this unprofitable geographic region. In light of a persistently difficult market and challenging cost structure, the Company is working with customers to meet existing commitments. The amount of Oregon business expected to be retained is insignificant. The Oregon facility and equipment are classified as held for sale as of July 2, 2011 and December 25, 2010 and are included in other current assets in the accompanying balance sheet.
The 2011 operating results for the Woodburn, Oregon location are classified as discontinued operations, and prior years operating results have been reclassified to discontinued operations as follows:

In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company terminated its Silver Crown luxury motorhome product line. This decision was triggered by a significant reduction of new motorhome sales orders and the cancellation of sales orders due to the extremely tight credit markets caused by the economic recession. The Company decided to exit the motorhome product line as part of a plan to focus on core truck, bus and armored products and to reduce overall fixed costs.
The Silver Crown facility in White Pigeon, Michigan is classified as held for sale as of July 2, 2011 and December 25, 2010 and is included in other current assets in the accompanying balance sheet. Any losses incurred in 2011 related to the wind-down of the operations are expected to be insignificant and will be reflected as continuing operations in the 2011 Statement of Operations.
The 2010 operating results for the Silver Crown division are classified as discontinued operations as follows:

NOTE 4 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT
Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a companys own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The Company used the following methods and significant assumptions to estimate the fair value of items:
Investments: The fair values of investments available-for-sale are determined by obtaining quoted prices on nationally recognized securities exchanges (Level 1 inputs).
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and trade accounts payable approximated fair value as of July 2, 2011 and December 25, 2010, because of the relatively short maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amount of long-term debt, including current maturities, approximated fair value as of July 2, 2011 and December 25, 2010, 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.
NOTE 5 REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT
On October 18, 2010 Supreme Industries, Inc. entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Lender), which agreement was effective as of September 30, 2010.
On March 24, 2011, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the First Amendment). Under the First Amendment, the revolving commitment amount under the Credit Agreement was lowered to $25,000,000, and such revolving commitment amount continues to reduce on a monthly basis beginning April 15, 2011.
Also pursuant to the First Amendment, on March 24, 2011, the Lender agreed to make certain term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000, due December 31, 2011, which term loans were funded on March 31, 2011. In connection with the First Amendment, certain mortgages and deeds of trust were executed on additional real property to secure the revolving line of credit and term loans.
Under the First Amendment, the minimum tangible net worth requirements and the minimum EBITDA requirements were revised, and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants in the Credit Agreement at July 2, 2011.
Additional events of default were added by the First Amendment. These additional events of default included: (i) the Companys failure to receive a $3,000,000 payment from a required sale-leaseback transaction involving the Companys California manufacturing facility, sale of real estate, or the issuance of subordinated debt or equity capital by May 2, 2011; (ii) the suspension, withdrawal, termination, or reduction of the Companys OEM chassis bailment pool; or (iii) the settlements of any claims or causes of action for amounts in excess of any amounts covered by insurance if such excess amounts are in excess of the reserves for such claims or causes of action on March 24, 2011 or the aggregate amount of all settlement payments is in excess of $250,000. Any violations of such additional events of default were waived pursuant to the terms of the Second and Third Amendments (as such terms are defined below).
On May 12, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement and Amendment to Security Agreements (the Second Amendment) with the Lender. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, Lender consented to the sale and concurrent leaseback by Supreme Indiana Operations, Inc. (Supreme Indiana) of its California manufacturing facility (the California Real Estate) to BFG2011 Limited Liability Company (a related party) (Purchaser) (the Sale Leaseback Transaction).
In connection with the Sale Leaseback Transaction, Lender agreed to execute and deliver releases of its mortgage liens on the California Real Estate. Lender also agreed to (i) lower the amount of net proceeds required to be obtained from the Sale Leaseback Transaction from $3,000,000 to $2,800,000 and (ii) extend the date required to enter into the Sale Leaseback Transaction from May 2, 2011 to May 12, 2011.
On June 15, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Third Amendment (the Third Amendment) to the Credit Agreement with the Lender. The Credit Agreement prohibits settlements of any claims or causes of action in aggregate amounts exceeding $250,000. Under the terms of the Third Amendment, the Lender approved the Settlement Agreement referred to in Note 9 and waived noncompliance caused by such Settlement Agreement with the Credit Agreements $250,000 cap on settlements of any claims or causes of action. In addition, the Third Amendment increased the revolving commitment amount under the Credit Agreement by $3,000,000 beginning June 15, 2011.
Pursuant to the Third Amendment the revolving commitment amount will reduce on a monthly basis. These reductions are intended to be consistent with the Companys seasonal working capital needs. By August 31, 2011, the revolving commitment amount will be reduced to $14,560,000, unless the Companys workers compensation letter of credit is returned to the Lender, in which case the revolving commitment amount will only be reduced to $16,560,000. The revolving commitment decreases further to $14,230,000 or $16,230,000 (if the workers compensation letter of credit is returned to the Lender) by November 30, 2011 and is due and payable December 31, 2011.
As of July 2, 2011, the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was $15,000,000 and the Company had unused credit capacity of approximately $9.3 million under its Credit Agreement. Interest on outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit and the term loan was based on the banks prime rate or LIBOR depending on the pricing option selected and the Companys leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, resulting in an effective rate of 5.75% and 5.09% at July 2, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively.
NOTE 6 LONG TERM DEBT
On March 24, 2011, Supreme Indiana entered into an Option Agreement (the Option Agreement) pursuant to which Supreme Indiana granted Barrett Gardner Associates, Inc. (Barrett Gardner), an entity which is owned by Messrs. William J. Barrett and Herbert M. Gardner, each a director of the Company, the right to purchase the California Real Estate. On May 12, 2011, Barrett Gardner assigned the Option Agreement to Purchaser. Purchaser is minority owned by Supreme Indiana, which received an equity interest in Purchaser as a portion of the purchase price, and Messrs. William J. Barrett, Herbert M. Gardner and Edward L. Flynn, each a director of the Company. In connection with the Sale Leaseback Transaction, the Company received a fairness opinion issued by a third party valuation consultant stating that the proposed transactions were fair from a financial point of view to the shareholders of the Company.
In accordance with the Option Agreement, Supreme Indiana and Purchaser entered into a Standard Offer, Agreement and Escrow Instructions for Purchase of Real Estate dated May 3, 2011 (as amended by that certain Amendment to Escrow Instructions dated as of the closing date, the Purchase Agreement) in which Purchaser agreed to purchase the California Real Estate for $4,100,000 comprised of the following amounts: (a) a $100,000 deposit made pursuant to the Option Agreement, (b) $3,000,000 paid in cash at the closing, (c) a grant to Supreme Indiana of the 34% equity interest in Purchaser described above valued at $495,000 (included in other assets on the July 2, 2011 balance sheet), and (d) a credit in the amount of $505,000 based on the lack of brokerage commissions and the nature of the transaction. Supreme Indiana paid the closing costs associated with the transaction, including the escrow fees, transfer taxes, title policies and other transaction costs. Supreme Indiana has provided Purchaser with an agreement to indemnify Purchaser from losses, damages and claims arising from the condition of the California Real Estate at closing and a breach by Supreme Indiana of its representations and warranties. Supreme Indianas indemnity obligations survive the closing of the sale.
Concurrently with the closing of the sale of the California Real Estate to Purchaser, Supreme Indiana leased from Purchaser the California Real Estate for a term of twenty years pursuant to that certain Air Commercial Real Estate Association Standard Industrial/Commercial Single-Tenant Lease dated as of the closing date (the Lease). The base rent for the first five years of the term is $24,000 per month. Base rent will be adjusted after the fifth year of the term to bring the base rent to fair market value and based on any increases in Purchasers financing costs. The Lease is a triple net lease, and Supreme Indiana is responsible for all costs relating to the leased premises. Supreme Indiana was granted a purchase option and right of first refusal with respect to the California Real Estate through April 30, 2016. In addition, Supreme Indiana was granted a one-time right of first offer with respect to the California Real Estate that continues until the expiration of the lease term.
Due to the Companys continuing involvement in the California Real Estate, the Sale Leaseback Transaction was not recognized as a sale of the property. It is instead being accounted for as a financing transaction, and the Company has recorded the receipt of cash, the equity interest in the Purchaser and the related obligation.
The outstanding principal amount of the obligation as of July 2, 2011 is $3.6 million and bears interest at 5.5%. Of this amount $93 thousand and $3.5 million is included in current maturities of long term debt and long term debt, respectively, in the accompanying balance sheet at July 2, 2011.
NOTE 7 LOSS PER SHARE
The assumed exercise or issuance of 251,614 and 215,861 shares for the three-month periods ending July 2, 2011 and June 26, 2010, respectively, relating to stock plans were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share. The assumed exercise or issuance of 272,543 and 234,068 shares for the six-month periods ending July 2, 2011 and June 26, 2010, respectively, relating to stock plans were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share. Inclusion of these shares in the respective periods would have been antidilutive.

NOTE 9 LITIGATION SETTLEMENT
On January 21, 2009, The Armored Group (TAG) filed a complaint against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Maricopa alleging breach of oral contract, unjust enrichment, and other claims which complaint was removed to the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. Among other claims, TAG alleged that, under either an oral agreement between it and the Company or the claim of unjust enrichment, the Company has an obligation to pay to TAG a 10% commission on all sales of armored vehicles to the United States Department of State under a contract with the United States Department of State providing for up to $98,000,000 in sales.
Due to the inherent nature of litigation, and the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate outcome of this case, on May 25, 2011, the Company and TAG signed a Civil Settlement Agreement under the terms of which this lawsuit was dismissed and the Company agreed to: (i) pay to TAG the cash sum of $1,100,000 ($400,000 paid on May 26, 2011, and the balance of $700,000 payable over the next twelve months in the principal amount of $58,333 per month plus accrued interest at 5.75% simple interest); and (ii) issue and deliver to TAG on June 8, 2011, 350,000 shares of the Companys Class A Common Stock and an additional 350,000 shares on January 15, 2012 for a total cost of $3,284,000. Of this amount, $1,784,000 is reflected as legal settlement and related costs in the current Statement of Operations and $1,500,000 was applied against the accrual established in a prior period. The fair value of the shares was based on the closing stock price on May 25, 2011. Under the terms of the Civil Settlement Agreement, TAG is restricted from selling more than 50,000 shares during any thirty-day period, and the Company is given the first right to purchase any shares that TAG wishes to sell.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Company Overview
Established in 1974 as a truck body manufacturer, Supreme Industries, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Supreme Indiana Operations, Inc., is one of the nations leading manufacturers of specialized commercial vehicles. The Company engages principally in the production and sale of customized truck bodies, buses, and other specialty vehicles. Building on its expertise in providing both cargo and passenger transportation solutions, the Companys specialty vehicle offerings include products such as customized armored vehicles and homeland response vehicles.
The Company utilizes a nationwide direct sales and distribution network consisting of approximately 40 bus distributors, a limited number of truck equipment distributors, and approximately 1,000 commercial truck dealers. The Companys manufacturing and service facilities are located in eight states across the continental United States allowing us to meet the needs of customers across all of North America. Additionally, the Companys significant customer goodwill, strong brand recognition, extensive product offerings, bailment chassis arrangements, and product innovation competitively positions Supreme in the markets we serve.
The Company and its product offerings are affected by various factors which include, but are not limited to, economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations, volatility in the supply chain of vehicle chassis, and the availability of credit and financing to the Company, our vendors, dealers, or end users. The Companys business is also affected by the availability and costs of certain raw materials that serve as significant components of its product offerings. The Companys risk factors are disclosed in Item 1A Risk Factors in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2010 (see Item 1A which follows).
Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto elsewhere in this document and pertain to continuing operations unless otherwise noted.
Overview
During the second quarter of 2011, Supreme continued to experience strong demand for its products as evidenced by an increase in sales of approximately 60% compared to the 2010 quarter. A significant portion of the increase in net sales resulted from shipments to major fleet customers.
As a result of the higher net sales, gross profit improved by approximately 30% during the quarter ended July 2, 2011 as compared with the corresponding period in 2010. However, our gross margin percentage was negatively impacted by lower margin fleet business and rising commodity costs.
The Company continued to experience considerably higher than historical levels of general and administrative expenses primarily due to non-recurring charges totaling $1.2 million during the first six months of 2011. The non-recurring charges consisted of consulting fees, bank refinancing expenses, severance costs, and other costs related to certain profit improvement initiatives.
For the second quarter of 2011, exclusive of the legal settlement costs discussed in Note 9 and the non-recurring charges, income from continuing operations was $1.5 million as compared with $0.7 million for the second quarter of 2010.
Our sales backlog remained solid during the second quarter of 2011 and totaled $99 million at quarter end compared with $92 million a year ago.
As previously described, we have identified areas of additional improvements, implemented new processes, and will continue to focus on increasing our gross margins and reducing our operating costs. Significant strategic decisions implemented in the last several months included:
· Closed the Oregon manufacturing facility;
· Closed the Pennsylvania bus manufacturing production line thereby consolidating our bus production into one operation in Indiana;
· Eliminated low margin and low volume product lines;
· Initiated operating management changes at our Pennsylvania and Texas truck operations;
· Further reduced headcount in certain areas of the business;
· Reduced the selling prices of certain idle facilities held for sale to reflect the current (depressed) market values, in an effort to accelerate the disposition of these properties to further reduce our debt levels; and
· Settled a lawsuit as described in Note 9.
We continue to look for opportunities to make our operations leaner and more profitable. In our efforts to rebound from the severe recession and maintain our position as one of the strongest companies in our industry, we continue to implement our strategies of cost containment, production efficiencies, revenue enhancement, market expansion, and product diversification.
Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended July 2, 2011 increased $35.2 million, or 59.8%, to $94.1 million as compared with $58.9 million for the three months ended June 26, 2010. Net sales for the six months ended July 2, 2011 increased $57.6 million, or 54.8%, to $162.5 million as compared with $104.9 million for the six months ended June 26, 2010.

The truck division sales increase for the three and six month periods was primarily attributable to increased fleet shipments and, to a lesser extent, an improved retail truck market. We continued to experience year-over-year improved backlog for trucks.
Our StarTrans bus division continued to experience lower demand, resulting in a decrease in sales of $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2011 and a decrease in sales of $3.9 million for the first six months of 2011 compared with the corresponding periods of 2010. We anticipate that 2011 second half bus sales will continue to decline as we have experienced softening demand for these products.
The armored vehicles division reflected lower demand with a revenue decrease of $2.2 million, or 33%, as compared to the second quarter of 2010. The decrease was primarily the result of delayed orders from our contract with the U.S. Department of State (DOS) to produce armored Suburbans for embassies abroad. We believe that the DOS business will remain steady from August to year end now that the Federal debt ceiling has been raised. We are encouraged by the positive response we have and continue to receive interest from other governmental agencies regarding our armored product offerings and quality. We are hopeful that this will lead to additional government-related business but we are concerned about government spending reduction efforts which may negatively impact near-term prospective contracts. The cash-in-transit and other armored vehicles business is anticipated to enable us to maintain revenues at first half levels as we continue into the second half of 2011.
Cost of sales and gross profit
Gross profit increased by $1.9 million, or 31.1%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended July 2, 2011, as compared with $6.1 million for the three months ended June 26, 2010. Gross profit increased by $4.5 million, or 45.0%, to $14.5 million for the six months ended July 2, 2011, as compared with $10.0 million for the six months ended June 26, 2010.

Material Material cost as a percentage of net sales increased by 6.1% and 5.4% for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011 as compared with the corresponding periods in 2010. The increase in the material percentage was due in part to a higher mix of fleet units shipped by our truck division and due to the increased cost of certain raw material commodities. Fleet units historically have a higher material cost as a percentage of net sales, due to a lower selling price, but require less direct labor than customized retail trucks. Additionally, the retail truck and bus markets continued to experience a very competitive pricing environment placing downward pressure on gross margins.
The potential for future raw material cost increases for certain commodities (including but not limited to aluminum, steel, and wood) remains a concern for the Company. We closely monitor all major commodities and periodically review the financial stability of our primary vendors. The Company will continue to address certain raw material cost escalations by also increasing the price of our products as necessary and as our markets will accept them.
Direct Labor Direct labor as a percentage of net sales decreased by 0.7% and 0.8% for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011 as compared with the corresponding periods in 2010. The decrease in the direct labor percentage was due to efficiencies gained by producing increased quantities of similar fleet units. Fleet units typically are less customized than special-purpose retail trucks and require fewer direct labor hours to produce.
Overhead Manufacturing overhead as a percentage of net sales decreased by 3.1% and 3.5% for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011 as compared with the corresponding periods in 2010. The overall overhead percentage declined due to the fixed nature of certain overhead expenses that do not fluctuate with sales volume changes.
Delivery Delivery as a percentage of net sales decreased by 0.4% and 0.5% for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011, as compared with the corresponding period in 2010. The Company continues to explore more cost-effective delivery methods to mitigate the adverse impact of ongoing high fuel costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative (G&A) expenses increased by $1.3 million, or 23.2%, to $6.9 million for the three months ended July 2, 2011, as compared with $5.6 million for the three months ended June 26, 2010. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $2.8 million, or 25.2%, to $13.9 million for the six months ended July 2, 2011, as compared with $11.1 million for the six months ended June 26, 2010.

Selling expenses Selling expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased by 1.1% and 1.0% for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011, as compared with the corresponding periods in 2010. This decrease reflects the steps taken over the course of the year that increased the productivity and effectiveness of our sales and marketing resources. The overall increase in dollars for the period was primarily attributable to higher commission expenses resulting from the increase in the net sales volume.
G&A expenses G&A expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased by 1.0% for both the three and six months ended July 2, 2011 as compared with the corresponding periods in 2010. The increase in dollars was primarily attributable to a variety of restructuring, refinancing, and profit improvement initiatives including the costs to engage consulting firms supporting the aforementioned efforts. Additionally, as a result of changes in senior management, payroll and related benefits increased in the 2011 periods compared to the 2010 periods.
Other income
For the three months ended July 2, 2011, other income was $0.4 million as compared with $0.2 million for the three months ended June 26, 2010. For the six months ended July 2, 2011, other income was $0.5 million as compared with $0.3 million for the six months ended June 26, 2010. Other income consisted of rental income, gain or loss on sale of assets, and other miscellaneous income received by the Company. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company realized a gain of approximately $0.3 million on the sale of its aircraft.
Legal settlement and related costs
The Company settled a lawsuit during the second quarter of 2011. The legal settlement and related costs were $1.9 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011 as compared with $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 26, 2010 (see Note 9).
Interest expense
Interest expense was $0.5 million for the three months ended July 2, 2011 compared with $0.3 million for the three months ended June 26, 2010. Interest expense was $0.7 million for the six months ended July 2, 2011 compared with $0.8 million for the six months ended June 26, 2010. A year-over-year reduction in chassis interest expense was partially attributable to measures implemented to improve bailment chassis inventory management. The Company continuously monitors the age of consigned chassis with the objective of minimizing chassis interest expense. The bank interest expense reflected lower debt levels. This was somewhat offset by higher (performance-based) pricing provisions under our bank credit facility as recent operating losses triggered an increase in interest rates.
Income taxes
For the three and six months ended July 2, 2011 and June 26, 2010 the Company recorded deferred tax assets for the net operating losses generated. The Company fully utilized its federal net operating loss carryback benefits during its 2009 tax year. The ultimate realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon future taxable income. Given the accumulated net operating losses in the prior years, it is currently more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, after consideration of these factors, the Company provided a valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets net of the deferred tax liabilities expected. The valuation allowance does not impact the Companys ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards to offset taxable earnings in the future.
Net loss from continuing operations
Net loss from continuing operations increased by $1.2 million to $0.9 million (1.0% of net sales) for the three months ended July 2, 2011 from net income of $0.3 million (0.5% of net sales) for the three months ended June 26, 2010. Net loss from continuing operations increased by $0.2 million to $1.9 million (-1.2% of net sales) for the six months ended July 2, 2011 from a net loss of $1.7 million (1.6% of net sales) for the six months ended June 26, 2010.
Discontinued Operations
The Company decided to discontinue its Oregon operations in December of 2010 and its Silver Crown luxury motorhome business during the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company has reclassified prior period results accordingly as discontinued operations for the two operations. The Oregon operations were ceased in the first quarter of 2011 due to the Companys decision to exit this unprofitable geographic region. The after-tax loss from the discontinued operations related to our Oregon operations was $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended July 2, 2011 and $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 26, 2010. The Silver Crown operations were terminated as a result of the unprecedented tight credit markets caused by the severe economic recession which led to a significant reduction of new motorhome orders and the cancellation of existing orders. The after-tax loss from discontinued operations related to our Silver Crown recreational vehicle division was $0.1 million for both the three and six months ended June 26, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
The Companys primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under a credit facility entered into by Supreme Indiana Operations, Inc., the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, and certain of its affiliates. Principal uses of cash have been to fund recent operating losses, support working capital needs, meet debt service requirements, and fund capital expenditure needs.
Operating activities
Cash flows from operations represent the net loss sustained in the reported periods adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Operating activities used $2.1 million of cash for the six months ended July 2, 2011 as compared with cash used of $2.2 million for the six months ended June 26, 2010. During the first six months of 2011, our net loss, adjusted for depreciation and amortization, reduced cash flows by $0.6 million. Cash used by operating activities was unfavorably impacted by an $8.0 million increase in inventories due to seasonally higher production levels to support the increased backlog and the increased sales volume and an increase in accounts receivable totaling $10.1 million due to the higher sales volume. This was offset by a $16.3 million increase in trade accounts payable. The Companys asset management continued to improve as our cash flow cycle was reduced by approximately 29 days, or 45%, when compared with the 2010 cash flow cycle.
Investing activities
Cash used by investing activities was $0.2 million for the six months ended July 2, 2011 as compared with cash used of $0.4 million for the six months ended June 26, 2010. During the first six months of 2011, the Company received $0.4 million from the sale of property, plant, and equipment and had capital expenditures totaling $0.9 million, which consisted primarily of replacement equipment.
Financing activities
Financing activities provided $1.4 million of cash for the six months ended July 2, 2011 as compared with cash provided of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 26, 2010. Pursuant to the First Amendment, on March 24, 2011, the Lender agreed to make certain term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000, due December 31, 2011 which was funded on March 31, 2011. Additionally, the Company
received approximately $2.9 million of net proceeds from the sale-leaseback transaction involving its California manufacturing facility as described in Note 6.
Capital Resources
On October 18, 2010 Supreme Industries, Inc. entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the Lender), which agreement was effective as of September 30, 2010.
On March 24, 2011, the Company entered into a First Amendment to Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the First Amendment). Under the First Amendment, the revolving commitment amount under the Credit Agreement was lowered to $25,000,000, and such revolving commitment amount continues to reduce on a monthly basis beginning April 15, 2011.
Also pursuant to the First Amendment, on March 24, 2011, the Lender agreed to make certain term loans in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000, due December 31, 2011, which term loans were funded on March 31, 2011. In connection with the First Amendment, certain mortgages and deeds of trust were executed on additional real property to secure the revolving line of credit and term loans.
Under the First Amendment, the minimum tangible net worth requirements and the minimum EBITDA requirements were revised, and the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants under the Credit Agreement at July 2, 2011 and expects to remain in compliance with such covenant requirements.
Additional events of default were added by the First Amendment. These additional events of default included: (i) the Companys failure to receive a $3,000,000 payment from a required sale-leaseback transaction involving the Companys California manufacturing facility, sale of real estate, or the issuance of subordinated debt or equity capital by May 2, 2011; (ii) the suspension, withdrawal, termination, or reduction of the Companys OEM chassis bailment pool; or (iii) the settlements of any claims or causes of action for amounts in excess of any amounts covered by insurance if such excess amounts are in excess of the reserves for such claims or causes of action on March 24, 2011 or the aggregate amount of all settlement payments is in excess of $250,000. Any violations of such additional events of default were waived pursuant to the terms of the Second and Third Amendments (as such terms are defined below).
On May 12, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement and Amendment to Security Agreements (the Second Amendment) with the Lender. Pursuant to the Second Amendment, Lender consented to the sale and concurrent leaseback by Supreme Indiana Operations, Inc. (Supreme Indiana) of its California manufacturing facility (the California Real Estate) to BFG2011 Limited Liability Company (a related party) (Purchaser) (the Sale Leaseback Transaction).
In connection with the Sale Leaseback Transaction, Lender agreed to execute and deliver releases of its mortgage liens on the California Real Estate. Lender also agreed to (i) lower the amount of net proceeds required to be obtained from the Sale Leaseback Transaction from $3,000,000 to $2,800,000 and (ii) extend the date required to enter into the Sale Leaseback Transaction from May 2, 2011 to May 12, 2011.
On June 15, 2011, the Company and its subsidiaries entered into a Third Amendment (the Third Amendment) to the Credit Agreement with the Lender. The Credit Agreement prohibits settlements of any claims or causes of action in aggregate amounts exceeding $250,000. Under the terms of the Third Amendment, the Lender approved the Settlement Agreement referred to in Note 9 and waived noncompliance caused by such Settlement Agreement with the Credit Agreements $250,000 cap on settlements of any claims or causes of action. In addition, the Third Amendment increased the revolving commitment amount under the Credit Agreement by $3,000,000 beginning June 15, 2011.
Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the revolving commitment amount will reduce on a monthly basis. These reductions are intended to be consistent with the Companys seasonal working capital needs. By August 31, 2011, the revolving commitment amount will be reduced to $14,560,000, unless the Companys workers compensation letter of credit is returned to the Lender, in which case the revolving commitment amount will only be reduced to $16,560,000. The revolving commitment decreases further to $14,230,000 or $16,230,000 (if the workers compensation letter of credit is returned to the Lender) by November 30, 2011 and is due and payable December 31, 2011.
As of July 2, 2011, the outstanding balance under the Credit Agreement was $15,000,000 and the Company had unused credit capacity of approximately $9.3 million under its Credit Agreement. Interest on outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit and the term loan was based on the banks prime rate or LIBOR depending on the pricing option selected and the Companys leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, resulting in an effective rate of 5.75% and 5.09% at July 2, 2011 and December 25, 2010, respectively.
Summary of Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Companys primary capital requirements are to support working capital demands, meet its debt service obligations, and finance capital expenditure requirements. The Company has a substantial asset collateral base and a strong equity position which management believes adequately supports the outstanding revolving line of credit arrangement or would support an alternative facility. Management is pursuing an alternative facility. The Company maintains a substantially higher level of current assets during the first half of each year than the second half of the year due to elevated inventories and trade accounts receivable related to large fleet runs. The Company expects to reduce the current assets during the second half of the year as customer collections related to the fleet runs provide cash flow necessary to reduce the obligations under the Credit Agreement and reduce accounts payable and other short-term obligations. Additionally, the Company is completing plans to sell certain idled assets which, if completed, will provide additional liquidity. The funds collected would be used to pay down the Companys obligations under the Credit Agreement.
Management believes, based on its operating projections and sale of assets held for sale, that it should have available funds necessary to allow the Company to meet the payment requirements related to its existing Credit Agreement and to continue to operate. The Companys cash management system and revolving line of credit are designed to maintain zero cash balances and, accordingly, checks outstanding in excess of bank balances are classified as additional borrowings under the revolving line of credit.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Managements discussion and analysis of its financial position and results of operations are based upon the Companys consolidated condensed financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Companys significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2010. In managements opinion, the Companys critical accounting policies include revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, excess and obsolete inventories, inventory relief, accrued insurance, and accrued warranty.
Revenue Recognition The Company generally recognizes revenue when products are shipped to the customer. Revenue on certain customer requested bill and hold transactions is recognized after the customer is notified that the products have been completed according to customer specifications, have passed all of the Companys quality control inspections, and are ready for delivery based on established delivery terms.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial conditions of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required which would adversely affect our future operating results.
Excess and Obsolete Inventories The Company must make estimates regarding the future use of raw materials, chassis, and finished products, and provide for obsolete or slow-moving inventories. If actual product life cycles, product demand, and/or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required which would adversely affect future operating results.
Inventory Relief For monthly and quarterly financial reporting, cost of sales is recorded and inventories are relieved by the use of standard bills of material adjusted for scrap and other estimated factors affecting inventory relief. Because of our large and diverse product line and the customized nature of each order, it is difficult to place full reliance on the bills of material for accurate relief of inventories. Although the Company continues to refine the process of creating accurate bills of materials, manual adjustments (which are based on estimates) are necessary to assure correct relief of inventories for products sold. The calculations to estimate costs not captured in the bill of materials take into account the customized nature of products, historical inventory relief percentages, scrap variances, and other factors which could impact inventory relief.
The accuracy of the inventory relief is not fully known until physical inventories are conducted at each of the Companys locations. We conduct semi-annual physical inventories at a majority of our locations and schedule them in a manner that provides coverage in each of our calendar quarters. We have invested significant resources in our continuing effort to improve the physical inventory process and accuracy of our inventory accounting system.
Accrued Insurance - The Company has a self-insured retention against product liability claims with insurance coverage over and above the retention. The Company is also self-insured for a portion of its employee medical benefits and workers compensation. Product liability claims are routinely reviewed by the Companys insurance carrier, and management routinely reviews other self-insurance risks for purposes of establishing ultimate loss estimates. In addition, management must determine estimated liability for claims incurred but not reported. Such estimates, and any subsequent changes in estimates, may result in adjustments to our operating results in the future.
The Company utilizes a wholly-owned small captive insurance company to insure certain of its business risks. Certain risks, traditionally self-insured by the Company and its subsidiaries, are insured by the captive insurance subsidiary. The captive insurance subsidiary helps the Company manage its risk exposures and, under the Internal Revenue Code, the net underwriting income of such small captive insurance subsidiary is not taxable.
Accrued Warranty The Company provides limited warranties for periods of up to five years from the date of retail sale. Estimated warranty costs are accrued at the time of sale and are based upon historical experience.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements, other than historical facts, which reflect the view of management with respect to future events. When used in this report, words such as believe, expect, anticipate, estimate, intend, and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or its plans or operations, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, and it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such expectations include, without limitation, an economic slowdown in the specialized vehicle industry, limitations on the availability of chassis on which the Companys products are dependent, availability of raw materials, raw material cost increases, and severe interest rate increases. Furthermore, the Company can provide no assurance that such raw material cost increases can be passed on to its customers through implementation of price increases for the Companys products. The forward-looking statements contained herein reflect the current view of management with respect to future events and are subject to those factors and other risks, uncertainties, and assumptions relating to the operations, results of operations, cash flows, and financial position of the Company. The Company assumes no obligation to update the forward-looking statements or to update the reasons actual results could differ from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
There has been no material change from the information provided in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, Item 7A: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, for the year ended December 25, 2010.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
a. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
In connection with the preparation of this Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of July 2, 2011.
b. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There has been no change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
The Company continues to take action to assure compliance with the internal controls, disclosure controls, and other requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, cannot guarantee that the internal controls and disclosure controls will prevent all possible errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system have been met. In addition, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefit of controls must be relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no system of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company will be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Further, controls can be circumvented by individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more persons, or by management override of the controls.
The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, a control may be inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in any cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
The Company is subject to various investigations, claims, and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavorably to the Company. The Company has established accruals for matters that are probable and reasonably estimable. Management believes that any liability that may ultimately result from the resolution of these matters in excess of accruals and amounts provided by insurance coverage will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.
On January 21, 2009, The Armored Group (TAG) filed a complaint against the Company in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona in and for the County of Maricopa alleging breach of oral contract, unjust enrichment, and other claims which complaint was removed to the United States District Court for the District of Arizona. Among other claims, TAG alleged that, under either an oral agreement between it and the Company or the claim of unjust enrichment, the Company has an obligation to pay to TAG a 10% commission on all sales of armored vehicles to the United States Department of State under a contract with the United States Department of State providing for up to $98,000,000 in sales.
Due to the inherent nature of litigation, and the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate outcome of this case, on May 25, 2011, the Company and TAG signed a Civil Settlement Agreement under the terms of which this lawsuit was dismissed and the Company agreed to: (i) pay to TAG the cash sum of $1,100,000 ($400,000 paid on May 26, 2011, and the balance of $700,000 payable over the next twelve months in the principal amount of $58,333 per month plus accrued interest at 5.75% simple interest); and (ii) issue and deliver to TAG on June 8, 2011, 350,000 shares of the Companys Class A Common Stock and an additional 350,000 shares on January 15, 2012 for a total cost of $3,284,000. Of this amount, $1,784,000 is reflected as legal settlement and related costs in the current Statement of Operations and $1,500,000 was applied against the accrual established in a prior period. The fair value of the shares was based on the closing stock price on May 25, 2011. Under the terms of the Civil Settlement Agreement, TAG is restricted from selling more than 50,000 shares during any thirty-day period, and the Company is given the first right to purchase any shares that TAG wishes to sell.
For a discussion of those Risk Factors affecting the Company, you should carefully consider the Risk Factors discussed in Part I, under Item 1A: Risk Factors contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 25, 2010, which is herein incorporated by reference.
