UNIROYAL GLOBAL ENGINEERED PRODUCTS, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

April 2, 2017

(Unaudited) 

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared based upon U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Therefore, they do not include all information and footnote disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of Uniroyal Global Engineered Products, Inc.’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Uniroyal Global Engineered Products, Inc. (the “Company,” “Uniroyal Global,” “we,” or “us”) filed audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended January 1, 2017 and January 3, 2016 which included all information and notes necessary for such complete presentation in conjunction with its 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

The results of operations for the interim period ended April 2, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 1, 2017, which are contained in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

The Company owns all of the ownership interests in Uniroyal Engineered Products, LLC (“Uniroyal”) and its holding company UEP Holdings, LLC (“UEPH”), a U.S. manufacturer of textured coatings, and all of the ordinary common stock of Uniroyal Global (Europe) Limited (“UGEL”) formerly known as Engineered Products Acquisition Limited (“EPAL”), the holding company for Uniroyal Global Limited (“UGL”) formerly Wardle Storeys (Group) Limited (“Wardle Storeys”), a European manufacturer of textured coatings and polymer films.

The Company and its subsidiaries have adopted a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31. The current year ending December 31, 2017 and the prior year ended January 1, 2017 are 52-week years.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of April 2, 2017 and the results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the interim periods ended April 2, 2017 and April 3, 2016.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company uses the US dollar as the reporting currency for financial reporting. The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s UK-based operations are measured using the British Pound Sterling as the functional currency. See Note 5, Foreign Currency Translation.

2. Noncash Transactions and Supplemental Disclosure of Cash Flow Information

During the three months ended April 2, 2017 and April 3, 2016, the Company paid down its term loans using available borrowings on its various lines of credit of $102,363 and $131,495, respectively.

During the three months ended April 2, 2017 and April 3, 2016, the Company entered into new equipment financing arrangements with a value of $335,251 and $256,244, respectively. The fair value was added to property and equipment and a corresponding amount to long-term debt or capital lease obligations.

Supplemental disclosure of cash paid for:

	April 2, 2017		April 3, 2016
Interest	$	373,134	$	429,434

Tax payments $ - $ -

3. Derivatives

The Company recognizes all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, as to whether the hedge is a cash flow hedge or a fair value hedge.

The Company incurs foreign currency risk on sales and purchases denominated in other currencies, primarily the British Pound Sterling and the Euro. Foreign currency exchange contracts are used by the Company principally to limit the exchange rate fluctuations of the Euro. The Euro risk is partially limited due to natural cash flow offsets. Currency exchange contracts are purchased for approximately 25% of the net risk. These contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Changes in fair value of these contracts are reported in net earnings as part of other income and expense.

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s short term financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and the lines of credit. The Company adjusts the carrying value of financial assets denominated in other currencies such as cash, receivables, accounts payable and the lines of credit using the appropriate exchange rates at the balance sheet date. The Company believes that the carrying values of these short term financial instruments approximate their estimated fair values.

The fair value of the Company’s long term debt is estimated based on current rates for similar instruments with the same remaining maturities. In determining the current interest rates for similar instruments the Company takes into account its risk of nonperformance. The Company believes that the carrying value of its long term debt approximates its estimated fair value.

The Company uses foreign currency exchange contracts which are recorded at their estimated fair values in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair values of the contracts at April 2, 2017 and January 1, 2017 were assets of $11,910 and $9,718, respectively, and were included in other current assets. The fair values of the currency exchange contracts are based upon observable market transactions of spot and forward rates.

For the three months ended April 2, 2017, there have been no changes in the application of valuation methods applied to similar assets and liabilities.

5. Foreign Currency Translation

The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of operations denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while the capital accounts are translated at the historical rate for the date they were recognized. Revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rates during the reporting period. The resulting translation gains and losses on assets and liabilities are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and are excluded from net income until realized through a sale or liquidation of the investment. Transaction gains and losses generated from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our foreign operations are included in Other Income (Expense) in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

14. Stock Option Plan

On June 25, 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the 2015 Stock Option Plan. This plan provides for the granting of options to purchase the Company’s common stock to employees and directors. The options granted are subject to a vesting schedule as set forth in each individual option agreement. Each option expires on the tenth anniversary of its date of grant unless an earlier termination date is provided in the grant agreement. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be optioned and sold under the plan shall be 6% of the shares outstanding on the date of grant. The shares that may be optioned under the plan may be authorized but unissued or may be treasury shares.

Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over a three-year vesting period from date of grant.

Stock option activity for the three months ended April 2, 2017 and April 3, 2016 is as follows:

	Stock Options

As of April 2, 2017, there was $678,192 in unrecognized compensation cost related to the options granted under the 2015 Stock Option Plan. We expect to recognize those costs over the remaining vesting term of 24 months.

15. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." Under ASU 2014-09 recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The new standard will be effective for the Company January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effects this standard will have, if any, on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows together with evaluating the adoption date.

14

On July 22, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. The new standard requires entities to measure most inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is a change from the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market with market defined as replacement cost, net realizable value or net realizable value less a normal profit margin. The ASU will not apply to inventories that are measured by using either the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method or the retail inventory method. It became effective for the Company on January 2, 2017. The adoption of this standard for the year ending December 31, 2017 will not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

On November 20, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”. Under the new guidance deferred tax liabilities and assets will be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. It became effective for the Company on January 2, 2017. The adoption of this standard for the year ending December 31, 2017 will not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company is applying the change retrospectively for all periods presented. Thus, current deferred tax assets in the amount of $1,301,280 which had been included in Other Current Asset in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at January 1, 2017 were reclassified to Other Long-term Assets or Other Long-term liabilities at that date.

On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. It will be effective for the Company on December 31, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effects this standard will have, if any, on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows together with evaluating the adoption date.

On March 30, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” The new standard involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. It became effective for the Company on January 2, 2017. The adoption of this standard for the year ending December 31, 2017 will not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

On August 26, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The new standard applies to how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. It will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effects this standard will have, if any, on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows together with evaluating the adoption date.

On January 26, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The new standard modifies the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. It will be effective for the Company on December 30, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effects this standard will have, if any, on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows together with evaluating the adoption date.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Business Description

We are a leading provider of manufactured vinyl coated fabrics. Our best known brand, Naugahyde, is the product of many improvements on a rubber-coated fabric developed a century ago in Naugatuck, Connecticut. We design, manufacture and market a wide selection of vinyl coated fabric products under a portfolio of recognized brand names. We believe that our business has continued to be a leading supplier in its marketplace because of our ability to provide specialized materials with performance characteristics customized to the end-user specifications, complemented by technical and customer support for the use of our products in manufacturing.

Our vinyl coated fabric products have undergone considerable evolution and today are distinguished by superior performance in a wide variety of applications as alternatives to leather, cloth and other synthetic fabric coverings. Our standard product lines consist of more than 600 SKUs with combinations of colors, textures, patterns and other properties. Our products are differentiated by unique protective top finishes, adhesive back coatings and transfer print capabilities. Additional process capabilities include embossing grains and patterns, and rotogravure printing, which imparts character prints and non-registered prints, lamination and panel cutting.

Our vinyl coated fabric products have various high performance characteristics and capabilities. They are durable, stain resistant, easily processed, more cost-effective and better performing than traditional leather or fabric coverings. Our products are frequently used in applications that require rigorous performance characteristics such as automotive and non-automotive transportation, certain indoor/outdoor furniture, commercial and hospitality seating, healthcare facilities and athletic equipment. We manufacture materials in a wide range of colors and textures. They can be hand or machine sewn, laminated to an underlying structure, thermoformed to cover various substrates or made into a variety of shapes for diverse end-uses. We are a long-established supplier to the global automotive industry and manufacture products for interior trim components from floor to headliner which are produced to meet specific component production requirements such as cut and sew, vacuum forming/covering, compression molding, and high frequency welding. Some products are supplied with micro perforations, which are necessary on most compression molding processes. Materials can also be combined with polyurethane or polypropylene foam laminated by either flame or hot melt adhesive for seating, fascia and door applications.

Products are developed and marketed based upon the performance characteristics required by end-users. For example, for recreational products used outdoors, such as boats, personal watercraft, golf carts and snowmobiles, a product designed primarily for durability and weatherability is used. We also manufacture a line of products called BeautyGard^®, with water-based topcoats that contain agents to protect against bacterial and fungal microorganisms and can withstand repeated cleaning, a necessity in the restaurant and health care industries. These topcoats are environmentally friendlier than solvent-based topcoats. The line is widely used in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. Flame and smoke retardant vinyl coated fabrics are used for a variety of commercial and institutional furniture applications, including hospitals, restaurants and residential care centers and seats for school buses and aircraft.

We currently conduct our operations in manufacturing facilities that are located in Stoughton, Wisconsin and Earby, England.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions based upon historical experience and various other factors and circumstances. Management believes that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions under different future circumstances. For further discussion of our significant accounting policies, refer to Note 1 – “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2017.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 15 – “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of recent accounting guidance.

Overview:

The Company and its subsidiaries have adopted a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31. The current year ending December 31, 2017 and the prior year ended January 1, 2017 are 52-week years.

Our Earby, England operation’s functional currency is the British Pound Sterling and has sales and purchases transactions that are denominated in currencies other than its functional currency, principally the Euro. Approximately 29% of the Company’s global revenues and 32% of its global raw material purchases are derived from these transactions. The average year-to-date exchange rate for the Pound Sterling to the U.S. Dollar was approximately 13.5% lower and the average exchange rate for the Euro to the Pound Sterling was approximately 13.5% higher in 2017 compared to 2016. These exchange rate changes had the net effect of decreasing net sales by approximately $1.1 million for the three months ended April 2, 2017. Since the Pound Sterling exchange rate change also reduced the fixed expenses, the overall effect on net income was a positive amount of approximately $152,000 for the three months ended April 2, 2017 compared to the corresponding period of 2016.

Three Months Ended April 2, 2017 Compared to the Three Months Ended April 3, 2016

The following table sets forth, for the three months ended April 2, 2017 (“three months 2017”) and April 3, 2016 (“three months 2016”), certain operations data including their respective percentage of net sales: 

	Three Months
	April 2, 2017				April 3, 2016				Change			% Change
Net Sales	$	25,758,429		100.0%	$	24,967,595		100.0%	$	790,834		3.2%

Net income available to common shareholders	$	470,776		1.8%	$	434,103		1.7%	$	36,673		8.4%

Revenue:

Total revenue for the three months 2017 increased $790,834 or 3.2% to $25,758,429 from $24,967,595 for the three months 2016. As a result of several new programs, automotive sales increased 7.7% versus last year primarily with increases in the European market. Industrial sales declined 5.2% due to general weakness in the markets in which we compete. These net gains were partially offset by the decrease from the net currency effect of the exchange rate change in the amount of $1,130,000. Without the effect of the exchange rate change, total revenue would have increased by 7.7%.

18

Gross Profit:

Total gross profit for the three months 2017 decreased $350,313 or 6.1% to $5,376,147 from $5,726,460 for the three months 2016. The gross profit percentage was 20.9% of sales for the three months 2017 compared to 22.9% for the three months 2016. The lower gross profit percentage was partially due to mix as lower margin automotive sales increased and higher margin industrial sales decreased for the three months 2017 compared to the three months 2016. Gross profit was also negatively impacted by rising raw material prices and operating inefficiencies resulting from newly awarded automotive platforms ramping up in Europe.

Operating Expenses:

Selling expenses for the three months 2017 decreased $97,696 or 7.1% to $1,284,947 from $1,382,643 for the three months 2016. The decrease resulted primarily from the net currency effect of the exchange rate change.

General and administrative expenses for the three months 2017 decreased by $220,368 or 10.8% to $1,821,466 from $2,041,834 for the three months 2016. This decrease was due to lower employee benefit costs for the three months 2017 compared to the three months 2016.   Also contributing to the decrease was the net currency effect of $92,000.

Research and development expenses for the three months 2017 increased by $105,325 or 24.6% to $533,854 from $428,529 for the three months 2016. The increase resulted from additional staffing and increased expenditures for new product development. This was partially offset by the net currency effect of the exchange rate change.

Operating Income:

Operating income for the three months 2017 decreased by $137,574 or 7.3% to $1,735,880 from $1,873,454 for the three months 2016. The operating income percentage was 6.7% of sales for the three months 2017 compared to 7.5% for the three months 2016. Operating income decreased primarily from the decrease in gross profit.

Interest Expense:

Interest expense for the three months 2017 decreased by $27,332 or 6.6% to $389,856 from $417,188 for the three months 2016. The decrease was primarily due to debt repayment partially offset by new capital leases for equipment purchases and higher interest rates on LIBOR and prime during the three months 2017 compared to the three months 2016.

Other Income (Expense):

Other income (expense) for the three months 2017 increased $272,750 to a gain of $99,254 from a loss of $173,496 for the three months 2016. The amount in other income (expense) principally is the currency gains and losses recognized by the UK operations on foreign currency transactions and the change in the fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are denominated in Euros and U.S. Dollars. The Company also recognizes gains and losses from the change in fair values on its foreign currency exchange contracts.

Tax Provision:

The Company files income tax returns in the United States as a C-Corporation, and in several state jurisdictions and in the United Kingdom. The Company’s subsidiary, Uniroyal, is a limited liability company (LLC) for federal and state income tax purposes and as such, its income, losses, and credits are allocated to its member. Uniroyal’s income is allocated entirely to UEPH as its sole member. Uniroyal Global then receives this income allocation as a member of UEPH less the dividends paid on the preferred units held by the former members of Uniroyal. For federal income tax purposes UEPH is a pass through entity and the Company’s share of its taxable income is reported on its tax return. The taxable income applicable to the distribution for the preferred ownership interests is reported to the members who report it on their respective individual tax returns.

For the three months 2016, the tax provision was comprised of U.K. tax plus a state and local tax provision on the Company’s U.S. income. There was no U.S. Federal tax provision for the 2016 period due to a reduction of deferred tax asset valuation allowances that offset the provision. At January 1, 2017, the Company concluded after an analysis that it was more likely than not that all of the deferred tax asset would be realized and accordingly eliminated the valuation allowance. Therefore, the provisions for the three months ended April 2, 2017 included, in addition to the U.K. tax and state and local tax, a provision for Federal tax on the Company’s income less the income applicable to the distribution for the preferred ownership interests.

19

Preferred Stock Dividend:

The terms of the acquisitions in November 2014 resulted in the issuance of preferred ownership units/stock of UEP Holdings, LLC and UGEL (formerly EPAL) to the sellers. These preferred units carry quarterly dividend requirements on a total value of $55,000,000 at rates ranging from 5.0% to 6.5%. The dividend rate on the Series B UEP Holdings preferred units which started at 5.5% increases by 0.5% on the anniversary of the issuance up to a maximum of 8.0%.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Cash, as it is needed, is provided by using the Company’s lines of credit. These lines provide for a total borrowing commitment in excess of $40,000,000 subject to the underlying borrowing base specified in the agreements. Of the total outstanding borrowings of $17,195,833 at April 2, 2017, $13.0 million of the lines bears interest at LIBOR plus a range of 1.95% to 2.45%, depending on the underlying borrowing base and $4.2 million bears interest at the bank’s prime or base lending rate which was 4.0% at April 2, 2017. At April 2, 2017, the lines provided an additional availability of approximately $6.6 million. We plan to use this availability to help finance our cash needs for the remaining months of fiscal 2017 and future periods. The balances due under the lines of credit are recorded as current liabilities on the balance sheet.

Given our capital resources in the U.S. and the potential for increased investment and acquisitions in foreign jurisdictions, we do not have a history of repatriating a significant portion of our foreign cash. Accordingly, we have not recognized a deferred tax liability for these unremitted earnings. In the event that circumstances should change in the future and we decide to repatriate these foreign amounts to fund U.S. operations, the Company would record a tax expense and pay the applicable U.S. taxes on these repatriated foreign amounts.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities, including the amount due under our lines of credit, was 1.11 at April 2, 2017 and 1.13 at January 1, 2017.

Cash balances increased $216,130, after the effects of currency translation of $13,239, to $1,537,716 at April 2, 2017 from $1,321,586 at January 1, 2017. Of the above noted amounts, $842,303 and $970,327 were held outside the U.S. by our foreign subsidiaries as of April 2, 2017 and January 1, 2017, respectively.

Cash provided by operations was $1,587,095 for the three months 2017 compared to $274,806 for the three months 2016. Cash provided by operations came from net income of $1,210,692 and $1,153,044 for the three months 2017 and 2016, respectively, as adjusted by cash flows related to changes in assets and liabilities of $(152,167) and $(1,359,166) for the three months 2017 and 2016, respectively.  Collections from accounts receivable and other receivables and timing of payments to vendors in 2017 contributed to the increase compared to 2016.

Cash used in investing activities was $622,881 for the three months 2017 compared to $483,820 for the three months 2016. During 2017 and 2016, cash used in investing activities was principally for purchases of machinery and equipment at our manufacturing locations.

For the three months 2017, cash used in financing activities was $761,323 as compared to $30,161 used in financing activities for the three months 2016.  The Company paid $720,121 and $699,165 of preferred dividends for the three months 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company had net advances on its lines of credit of $188,894 and $855,402 for the three months 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Our credit agreements contain customary affirmative and negative covenants. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of April 2, 2017 and through the date of filing of this report.

We currently have several on-going capital projects that are important to our long term strategic goals. Machinery and equipment will also be added as needed to increase capacity or enhance operating efficiencies in our manufacturing plants. We will use a combination of financing arrangements to provide the necessary capital. We believe that our existing resources, including cash on hand and our credit facilities, together with cash generated from operations and additional bank borrowings, will be sufficient to fund our cash flow requirements through at least the next twelve months. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all.

We have no material off balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains “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”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Board of Directors, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives, and we necessarily are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of April 2, 2017 and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 2, 2017.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended April 2, 2017, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared based upon U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules that permit reduced disclosure for interim periods. Therefore, they do not include all information and footnote disclosures necessary for a complete presentation of Uniroyal Global Engineered Products, Inc.’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Uniroyal Global Engineered Products, Inc. (the “Company,” “Uniroyal Global,” “we,” or “us”) filed audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended January 1, 2017 and January 3, 2016 which included all information and notes necessary for such complete presentation in conjunction with its 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

The results of operations for the interim period ended April 2, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended January 1, 2017, which are contained in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

The Company owns all of the ownership interests in Uniroyal Engineered Products, LLC (“Uniroyal”) and its holding company UEP Holdings, LLC (“UEPH”), a U.S. manufacturer of textured coatings, and all of the ordinary common stock of Uniroyal Global (Europe) Limited (“UGEL”) formerly known as Engineered Products Acquisition Limited (“EPAL”), the holding company for Uniroyal Global Limited (“UGL”) formerly Wardle Storeys (Group) Limited (“Wardle Storeys”), a European manufacturer of textured coatings and polymer films.

The Company and its subsidiaries have adopted a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Sunday nearest to December 31. The current year ending December 31, 2017 and the prior year ended January 1, 2017 are 52-week years.

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of April 2, 2017 and the results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the interim periods ended April 2, 2017 and April 3, 2016.

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

Derivatives

3. Derivatives

The Company recognizes all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, as to whether the hedge is a cash flow hedge or a fair value hedge.

The Company incurs foreign currency risk on sales and purchases denominated in other currencies, primarily the British Pound Sterling and the Euro. Foreign currency exchange contracts are used by the Company principally to limit the exchange rate fluctuations of the Euro. The Euro risk is partially limited due to natural cash flow offsets. Currency exchange contracts are purchased for approximately 25% of the net risk. These contracts are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Changes in fair value of these contracts are reported in net earnings as part of other income and expense.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s short term financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and the lines of credit. The Company adjusts the carrying value of financial assets denominated in other currencies such as cash, receivables, accounts payable and the lines of credit using the appropriate exchange rates at the balance sheet date. The Company believes that the carrying values of these short term financial instruments approximate their estimated fair values.

The fair value of the Company’s long term debt is estimated based on current rates for similar instruments with the same remaining maturities. In determining the current interest rates for similar instruments the Company takes into account its risk of nonperformance. The Company believes that the carrying value of its long term debt approximates its estimated fair value.

The Company uses foreign currency exchange contracts which are recorded at their estimated fair values in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair values of the contracts at April 2, 2017 and January 1, 2017 were assets of $11,910 and $9,718, respectively, and were included in other current assets. The fair values of the currency exchange contracts are based upon observable market transactions of spot and forward rates.

For the three months ended April 2, 2017, there have been no changes in the application of valuation methods applied to similar assets and liabilities.

5. Foreign Currency Translation

The financial position and results of operations of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of operations denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while the capital accounts are translated at the historical rate for the date they were recognized. Revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average exchange rates during the reporting period. The resulting translation gains and losses on assets and liabilities are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and are excluded from net income until realized through a sale or liquidation of the investment. Transaction gains and losses generated from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of our foreign operations are included in Other Income (Expense) in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On June 25, 2015, the Company’s stockholders approved the adoption of the 2015 Stock Option Plan. This plan provides for the granting of options to purchase the Company’s common stock to employees and directors. The options granted are subject to a vesting schedule as set forth in each individual option agreement. Each option expires on the tenth anniversary of its date of grant unless an earlier termination date is provided in the grant agreement. The maximum aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be optioned and sold under the plan shall be 6% of the shares outstanding on the date of grant. The shares that may be optioned under the plan may be authorized but unissued or may be treasury shares.

Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over a three-year vesting period from date of grant.

Stock option activity for the three months ended April 2, 2017 and April 3, 2016 is as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

15. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." Under ASU 2014-09 recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  The new standard will be effective for the Company January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effects this standard will have, if any, on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows together with evaluating the adoption date.

On July 22, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory”. The new standard requires entities to measure most inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which is a change from the current guidance under which an entity must measure inventory at the lower of cost or market with market defined as replacement cost, net realizable value or net realizable value less a normal profit margin. The ASU will not apply to inventories that are measured by using either the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method or the retail inventory method. It became effective for the Company on January 2, 2017. The adoption of this standard for the year ending December 31, 2017 will not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

On November 20, 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes”. Under the new guidance deferred tax liabilities and assets will be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. It became effective for the Company on January 2, 2017. The adoption of this standard for the year ending December 31, 2017 will not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company is applying the change retrospectively for all periods presented. Thus, current deferred tax assets in the amount of $1,301,280 which had been included in Other Current Asset in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at January 1, 2017 were reclassified to Other Long-term Assets or Other Long-term liabilities at that date.

On February 25, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases”. Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. However, unlike current GAAP which requires only capital leases to be recognized on the balance sheet, the new ASU will require both types of leases to be recognized on the balance sheet. It will be effective for the Company on December 31, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effects this standard will have, if any, on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows together with evaluating the adoption date.

On March 30, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” The new standard involves several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. It became effective for the Company on January 2, 2017. The adoption of this standard for the year ending December 31, 2017 will not have a significant effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

On August 26, 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows – Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The new standard applies to how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. It will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the effects this standard will have, if any, on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows together with evaluating the adoption date.

On January 26, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new standard ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.” The new standard modifies the concept of impairment from the condition that exists when the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds its implied fair value to the condition that exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. It will be effective for the Company on December 30, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the effects this standard will have, if any, on its consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows together with evaluating the adoption date.
