Exhibit 99.2

 

Report of Independent Auditors

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of SDI Holding, Inc.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of SDI Holding, Inc and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the six month period ended June 30, 2005, the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the five month period ended December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1. Organization

 

Nature of Operations

SDI Holding, Inc. (“SDI Holding” or the “Company”), a Delaware Corporation, was incorporated July 24, 2002 for the purpose of developing a roofing and supply wholesale distribution business. SDI Holding intends to build its business by acquiring and consolidating building product distribution companies concentrating on commercial and residential roofing, residential siding and related products.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SDI Holding, its wholly owned subsidiary Shelter Distribution, Inc. (“Shelter”), and Shelter’s subsidiaries West Roofing and Supply LP, West Roofing Partners, Inc., Complete Roofing Supply, Inc., Wimsatt Brothers, Inc., Wimsatt Tennessee Corporation, ABCo Wholesale Distributors, Inc. (“ABCo”) and U.S. Superior Building Products, Inc. (“USS”) (collectively the “Company”). Effective July 1, 2004, all of Shelter’s subsidiaries were merged with and into Shelter. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Inventories

The majority of the Company’s inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market determined using weighted average cost.

 

The Company receives monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual rebates from certain of its vendors. The Company accounts for vendor rebates as a reduction to the inventory value based on the total anticipated rebates to be earned for the reporting period. As inventory is sold, the anticipated applicable rebate is booked as a reduction of cost of goods sold. At June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and 2003, the cost of inventory is net of vendor rebates and cash discounts earned applicable to ending inventory.

 

F-44



 

Financial Instruments

The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments does not differ materially from their estimated fair value (primarily based on quoted market prices). At June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and 2003, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities, was approximately $22,000,000, $23,650,000 and $20,400,000. The fair value estimate was based on pertinent information available to management.

 

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage the economic impact of fluctuations in interest rates. The Company enters into interest rate swaps to manage these economic risks. As of January 1, 2003, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by Statements No. 137 and No. 138. The Statements require the Company to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges are adjusted to fair value through earnings. If a derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) until the hedged item is recognized in earnings.

 

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking various hedge transactions. In this documentation, the Company specifically identifies the asset, liability, firm commitment or forecasted transaction that has been designated as a hedged item and states how the hedging instrument is expected to hedge the risks related to that item. The Company formally measures effectiveness of its hedging relationships both at the hedge inception and on an ongoing basis. The Company discontinues hedge accounting prospectively when it determines that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of a hedged item; when the derivative expires or is sold, terminated or exercised; when it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur; when a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the definition of a firm commitment; or when management determines that designation of the derivative as a hedge instrument is no longer appropriate.

 

Property and Equipment

The Company’s property and equipment additions are stated at cost and include the cost of replacements and additions of major assets and expenditures that substantially increase the useful lives of existing property and equipment. Repairs and costs of minor replacements are expensed as incurred. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts and any gain or loss on disposition is recognized.

 

F-45



 

Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which range from 1 to 8 years, of the respective assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the lease term or the life of the asset. Depreciation expense of $1,448,960, $2,312,683, $2,111,975 and $733,741 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the five months ended December 31, 2002 includes amortization of assets recorded under capital leases that was computed based on the term of each lease.

Goodwill, Deferred Loan Costs and Other Intangibles

Goodwill represents the purchase price in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired. The Company tests goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, relying on a number of factors including operating results, business plans and future cash flows. Recoverability of goodwill is evaluated using a two-step process. The first step involves a comparison of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the process involves a comparison of the fair value and carrying value of the goodwill of that reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. No impairment in the value of goodwill was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2005, the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the five months ended December 31, 2002.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from construction companies, building product dealers and contractors. Sales volumes for these customers tend to be seasonal in nature with significant declines during the winter months. As of June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Company’s accounts receivable included approximately $443,000, $856,000 and $893,000 of notes receivable, which are due within one year. The Company actively maintains its right to file mechanics liens and its right to pursue payment against performance bonds on many commercial or public projects.

 

Accounts receivable are recorded net of allowances for doubtful accounts. The Company provides an allowance for balances deemed uncollectible. The Company utilizes a systematic approach to setting the allowance which includes a customer by customer review of its accounts receivable and an analysis of historical bad debt. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123(R)”). SFAS No. 123(R) replaces FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS No. 123”), supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Generally, the approach in SFAS No. 123(R) is similar to the approach described in SFAS No. 123. However, SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values (i.e. pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative to financial statement recognition). The provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) must be applied at the beginning of the first interim or annual period beginning after

 

F-51



 

June 15, 2005. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of this new pronouncement on its financial statements.

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51 (“FIN 46”). FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional Subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after January 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to February 1, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first interim or annual period beginning after June 15, 2003. However, in December 2003, the FASB deferred the effective date of FIN 46 to the end of the first interim or annual period ending after December 15, 2003 for those arrangements involving special purpose entities entered into prior to February 1, 2003. All other arrangements within the scope of FIN 46 are subject to its provisions beginning in 2004. The Company adopted FIN 46, as required, with no material impact to its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

3. Income Taxes

The Company files a consolidated U.S. Federal income tax return and certain consolidated state income returns.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Although realization is not assured, management believes they will generate sufficient taxable income in future years to realize these deferred tax assets. Based on management’s analysis of the realization of deferred tax assets at June 30, 2005, no valuation allowance was provided.

 

4. Capital Leases

 

The Company is party to capital lease agreements covering certain vehicles and equipment. The remaining terms as of June 30, 2005 are for periods ranging from approximately one to five years (expiring in August 2009) and generally provide for payment of insurance, maintenance and taxes by the Company. Certain of these leases have renewal and purchase options at varying dates. As of June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and 2003 amounts capitalized related to these leases and included in property and equipment, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets totaled approximately $50,700, $64,600 and $83,000.

In addition to the long-term debt detailed above, the Company has a senior revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) which expires July 31, 2007. All amounts collected by the Company are used to reduce the outstanding balance each day, and the Company borrows against the senior revolving credit facility each day to fund its payment obligations. Interest is payable monthly at base rate or LIBOR plus applicable margin (5.63 percent to 6.75 percent at June 30, 2005). This facility is collateralized by all assets of the Company.

 

F-55



 

The Company has a senior loan agreement covering the senior revolving credit facility, senior term loan and senior equipment notes. At June 30, 2005, the total facility aggregated $70,000,000. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility portion of the agreement are limited to a collateral base consisting of specified percentages of eligible accounts receivable and inventories. Available borrowings under the senior revolving facility were $7,808,663 at June 30, 2005 and the Company also had $3,754,978 in cash. Borrowings on the Company’s revolving line of credit are classified as current due to certain provisions of the Facility whereby the Company’s cash receipts are automatically applied against borrowings under the revolving line of credit. The Facility also includes a clause giving the lender the ability to recall the debt in the event of certain significant adverse changes in the business.

 

At June 30, 2005, the Company had outstanding letters of credit under its senior loan agreement aggregating $2,597,000. The beneficiaries of the letters of credit are the insurance companies which handle claims payments under the Company’s self insurance programs. The amount of outstanding letters of credit reduces the Company’s collateral base for purposes of determining the maximum borrowings that may be outstanding. The letters of credit are not considered outstanding debt and, therefore, are not included in the Company’s liabilities at June 30, 2005.

 

The senior loan agreement contains covenants which restrict the Company’s ability to incur additional debt, make distributions, and make capital expenditures in excess of certain limits or dispose of assets other than in the ordinary course of business. Further, the senior loan agreement requires the Company maintain certain ratios relative to the amount of fixed charges, senior debt levels and total debt levels. At June 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with these ratios.

 

In March 2005, the Company and its banks amended the terms of the senior loan agreement to increase the maximum borrowings from $60,000,000 to $70,000,000, extend the termination date of the agreement by one year to July 31, 2007 and amend certain covenants. In July 2005, the Company and its banks amended the terms of the senior loan agreement to temporarily increase the maximum borrowings from $70,000,000 to $76,000,000, providing the company’s collateral base is sufficient to cover such additional borrowings. This temporary increase expires October 26, 2005.

 

In connection with the SDI Acquisition and the Guardian Acquisition, the Company sold $15,000,000 of 12.5 percent subordinated notes to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, and affiliated entities (“MassMutual”). Interest is payable quarterly. The principal amount becomes due July 15, 2008. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had accrued $390,635 of interest payable to stockholders related to the subordinated notes. MassMutual is an equity investor in the Company.

 

The subordinated note agreement contains restrictive covenants which mirror those contained in the senior loan agreement. At June 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with these ratios.

 

F-56



 

In connection with the acquisition of the net assets of Forest Siding Supply, the Company issued the seller a $2,000,000 subordinated note as a portion of the purchase consideration (the “Seller Note”). The Seller Note carries interest at 8% and is due in full on December 31, 2005. The Seller Note is subordinated to the senior loan agreement and is junior to the 12.5% uncollateralized subordinated notes due stockholders. A portion of the Seller Note is guaranteed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

Future maturities of long-term debt as of June 30, 2005 are as follows:

6. Warrants

 

In conjunction with the issuance of the subordinated notes issued at its inception, the Company issued the holders of the notes 1,735,628 warrants to purchase its common stock. In conjunction with the subordinated notes issued to finance the Guardian acquisition, an additional 722,649 warrants were issued. The exercise price of the warrants is $.01 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time before the expiration on July 15, 2009 and are considered automatically exercised on the last day of the agreement, unless otherwise notified. The Company has reserved 2,458,277 shares of authorized, unissued common stock for the conversion of outstanding stock warrants. The warrants are not transferable without prior approval of the Company. A risk free interest rate ranging from 4.15 percent to 5.00 percent was used in determining the value of the warrants. The fair value of these warrants of $2,148,152 was recorded as equity at date of acquisition and as subordinated notes discount. This discount is being amortized over six years. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the five months ended December 31, 2002, the Company amortized $184,487, $368,975, $363,500 and $98,994 of the discount.

 

7. Benefit Plans

 

The Company has a 401(k) plan covering substantially all of its employees. The plan allows for employee contributions and Company matching contributions that are made at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The participants begin partial vesting after two years of service and become fully vested after six years of service.

 

F-57



 

The Company has a partially self-funded health insurance plan that is offered to all qualifying employees. The plan limits the liability to the Company by having both individual and aggregate stop loss insurance policies. Expense recognized related to the plan was $878,485, $1,831,612, $2,172,398 and $372,608 for the six months ended June 30, 2005, the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the five months ended December 31, 2002.

 

8. Related Party Transactions

 

The Company’s majority shareholder is Brazos Private Equity Partners, LLC (“Brazos”), which provides management assistance and oversight to the Company. Brazos receives a quarterly fee based on a percentage of gross sales as well as fees on consummated acquisitions and capital infusions. Brazos earned approximately $343,653, $640,000, $1,350,000 and $270,000 for these services provided during the six months ended June 30, 2005, the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the five months ended December 31, 2002. Approximately $330,000 and $750,000 of the fees earned in 2004 and 2003 relate to assistance provided in conjunction with the Company’s acquisitions and were capitalized. Amounts due to Brazos at June 30, 2005, December 31, 2004 and 2003 were $156,855, $516,280 and $196,915.

 

9. Financial Instruments and Risk Management

 

During 2003, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements, each with a notional amount of $10 million that effectively convert a portion of its variable-rate borrowings to a fixed-rate basis through the maturity of the related debt on July 31, 2006, thus reducing the impact of changes in interest rates on future interest expense. Approximately 40% of the Company’s outstanding variable-rate borrowings as of June 30, 2005 have been hedged through the designation of interest rate swap agreements classified as cash flow hedges. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate of 2.44% and 2.47% and receives a LIBOR floating rate. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements represents the estimated receipts or payments that would be made to terminate the agreements. The change in accumulated other comprehensive income shown on the consolidated statement of changes in stockholders’ equity reflects the change in the fair value of these swap agreements during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003.

 

F-58



 

10. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company leases offices and certain warehouse facilities under various noncancelable agreements accounted for as operating leases. The leases are for periods ranging from one to twelve years. Certain of the leases contain renewal or purchase options and annual adjustments based on the consumer price index. Operating lease expense for current operating branches for the six months ended June 30, 2005, the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and the five months ended December 31, 2002 was approximately $2,850,000, $4,300,000, $3,600,000 and $900,000.  Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases as of June 30, 2005 are as follows:

From time to time, the Company is a party to certain claims and litigation incidental to its business. Management is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of any known claims, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

 

F-59



 

11. Discontinued Operations

 

During 2004, the Company closed branches located in Macon, GA and Corpus Christi, TX and sold a branch in Springfield, IL. In 2003, the Company closed branches in St. Louis, MO, Shreveport and Monroe, LA, Austin, TX and Toledo, OH. The financial results of the closed or sold branches have been accounted for as discontinued operations. The Company recognized additional expense of approximately $280,000 and $360,000 in 2004 and 2003 to account for estimated future lease costs and related expenditures.
