General

Coleman Cable, Inc. (the “Company,” “Coleman,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is a leading designer, developer, manufacturer and supplier of electrical wire and cable products for consumer, commercial and industrial applications, with operations primarily in the United States (“U.S.”) and, to a lesser degree, in Honduras and Canada. Our broad line of wire and cable products enables us to offer our customers a single source for many of their wire and cable product requirements. We manufacture our products in nine domestic manufacturing locations and supplement our domestic production with both international and domestic sourcing. We sell our products to more than 8,000 active customers in diverse end markets, including a wide range of specialty distributors, retailers and original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”). Virtually all of our products are sold to customers located in either the U.S. or Canada.

Company History

We were incorporated in Delaware in 1999. The majority of our operations came from Coleman Cable Systems, Inc., our predecessor company, which was formed in 1970 and which we acquired in 2000. In March 2007, we registered 16.8 million shares of our common stock pursuant to a registration rights agreement with our principal shareholders in connection with a private placement of our common stock in 2006. Upon completion of such registration in March 2007, our common stock became listed on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “CCIX.”

Business Overview

We produce products across four primary product lines: (1) industrial wire and cable, including portable cord, machine tool wiring, welding, instrumentation, tray and mining cable and other power cord products; (2) electronic wire, including telephone, data, security and coaxial cable, thermostat wire and irrigation cable; (3) assembled products, including extension cords, booster and battery cable, lighting products and surge and strip products; and (4) fabricated bare wire, including stranded, bunched, and single-end copper, copper clad steel and various copper alloy wire.

The core component of most of our products is copper wire which we draw from copper rod into a variety of gauges of both solid and stranded copper wires. We use a significant amount of the copper wire that we produce as an input into the production of our finished wire and cable products, while the remainder of our copper wire production is sold in the form of bare copper wire (in a variety of gauges) to external OEMs and wire and cable producers. In the majority of our wire and cable products, a thermoplastic or thermosetting insulation is extruded over the bare wire (in a wide array of compounds, quantities, colors and gauges) and then cabled (twisted) together with other insulated wires. An outer jacket is then extruded over the cabled product. This product is then coiled or spooled and packaged for sale or processed further into a cable assembly. We have further expanded our product offerings in recent years through acquisitions to include power management and electrical safety solutions and secondary power connectors.

Our business is organized into three reportable segments: (1) Distribution, (2) OEM, and (3) Engineered Solutions. Within these three reportable segments, we sell our products into multiple channels, including electrical distribution, wire and cable distribution, OEM/government, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (“HVAC/R”), irrigation, industrial/contractor, security/home automation, recreation/transportation, copper fabrication, U.S. military, retail and automotive.

More detailed information regarding our primary product lines and segments is set forth below within the “Product Overview” and “Segment Overview” sections, as well as within Note 18 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Part II, Item 8 of this document.

Industry and Competitive Overview

The industries which utilize our diversified products are mature and though they have experienced significant consolidation over the past few years, they remain fragmented and characterized by a large number of competitors. As such, the markets we serve are highly competitive. While no single company competes with us in all of our product lines as a result of the diversity of our offerings, various companies compete with us in one or more product lines. Many of these competitors are large, well-established companies with greater financial resources than us. In addition, many of our products are made to industry specifications and, therefore, may be interchangeable with our competitors’ products. In addition, in a number of product categories we face competition from products manufactured in foreign countries. Competition in the markets we serve is based on a number of factors, such as breadth of product offering, inventory availability, delivery time, price, quality, customer service and relationships, brand recognition and logistics capabilities. We believe we can compete effectively on the basis of each of these factors.

Product Overview

In 2012, 2011 and 2010, net sales across our four major product lines were as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
Net Sales by Product Lines	2012		2011		2010
	(In thousands)
Industrial Wire and Cable	$	455,870	$	412,248	$	328,405
Assembled Products		212,215		237,716		196,523

Total	$	914,581	$	867,356	$	703,763

Industrial Wire and Cable

Our industrial wire and cable product line includes portable cord, machine tool wiring, building wire, welding, mining, pump, control, stage/lighting, diesel/locomotive, instrumentation, tray, thermocouple, high temperature, and metal clad cables and other power cord products. Our products are available in either polyvinyl chloride (“PVC”), crosslink, or thermoset constructions. Since 2008, we have invested resources to create 16 new industrial product lines to support the utility, energy, and infrastructure construction markets that are expected to grow over the next few years. These are medium power supply cables used for permanent or temporary connections between a power source (such as a power panel, receptacle or transformer) and a device (such as a motor, light, transformer or control panel). These products are used in construction, industrial material requisition order “MRO” and OEM applications, such as airline support systems, wind turbines, solar, utilities, cranes, marinas, offshore drilling, fountains, car washes, sports lighting, construction, food processing, forklifts, mining and military applications. In recent years, we have introduced several new industrial products. Our brands in this product line include Royal, Seoprene, Copperfield, Continental, Triangle and Corra/Clad.

Assembled Products

Our assembled products include multiple types of extension cords, as well as ground fault circuit interrupters, portable lighting (incandescent, fluorescent and halogen), retractable reels, holiday items, solar lighting, recreational vehicle (“RV”) cords and adapters, and surge and strip products. For the automotive aftermarket we offer booster cables, battery cables, battery accessories and secondary power connectors. This product type also includes the design and manufacture of power management and battery management tools for secondary or re-chargeable batteries. These battery product solutions support customers in military, commercial and industrial sectors. Our brands in this area of our business include Woods, Moonrays, Polar Solar, Yellow Jacket, American Contractor, Road Power, Power Station, Booster-in-a-Bag, TRC, Shock Shield, Electra Shield, Fire Shield, Designers Edge, Watteredge and privately-labeled brands.

Electronic Wire

Our electronic wire product line includes telephone, data, security, coaxial, industrial automation, instrumentation, twinaxial, fire alarm, plenum and home automation cables. These cables permanently connect devices, and they provide power, signal, voice, data or video transmissions from a device (such as a camera, alarm or terminal) to a source (such as a control panel, splice strip or video recorder). These products are used in applications such as telecommunication, security, fire detection, access control, video monitoring, data transmission, intercom and home automation systems. Our primary brands in this product line include Signal, Plencote, Soundsational and Clear Signal.

Our electronic wire product line also includes low voltage cable products comprised of thermostat wire and irrigation cables. These cables permanently connect devices, and they provide low levels of power between devices in a system (such as a thermostat and the switch on a furnace, or a timer and a switch, device or sensor). They are used in applications such as HVAC/R, energy management, home sprinkler systems and golf course irrigation. We sell many of our low voltage cables under the Baron, BaroStat and BaroPak brand names.

Fabricated Bare Wire Products

Our fabricated bare wire products conduct power or signals and include stranded, bunched and single-end copper, copper-clad steel and various copper alloy wire. In this area, we process copper rod into stranding for use in our electronic and electrical wire and cable products or for sale to others for use in their products. We use most of our copper wire production to produce our own finished products. Our primary brand in this product line is Copperfield.

Segment Overview

As noted above, we classify our business into three reportable segments: (1) Distribution, (2) OEM, and (3) Engineered Solutions. Our reportable segments are a function of how we are organized internally to market to our customer groups and measure our financial performance. The Distribution and OEM segments serve customers within the distribution, retail, and OEM businesses. Our Engineered Solutions segment was previously called “Other” and contained the majority of our TRC acquisition made in 2011. A portion of TRC’s legacy business was integrated into our Distribution segment during 2011 and remains unchanged. The “Other” segment was renamed “Engineered Solutions” as a result of having acquired Watteredge in May 2012 and also contains the remainder of TRC’s legacy business which has not been integrated into our other reportable segments. Financial data for our business segments is as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
	2012			2011			2010
Net sales:
Distribution	$	646,007		$	632,777		$	525,274
OEM		225,282			217,831			178,489
Engineered Solutions		43,292			16,748			—
Reporting Segment Total	$	914,581		$	867,356		$	703,763
Operating income:
Distribution	$	62,609		$	60,885		$	47,834
OEM		17,375			15,526			13,089
Engineered Solutions		4,772			(820	)		—
Reporting Segment Total		84,756			75,591			60,923
Corporate		(20,945	)		(22,907	)		(19,941	)
Consolidated Operating Income	$	63,811		$	52,684		$	40,982

Segment operating income represents income from continuing operations before interest expense, other income or expense, and income taxes. Corporate consists of items not charged or allocated to the segments, including costs for employee relocation, discretionary bonuses, professional fees, restructuring expenses, asset impairments, share-based compensation expense, and intangible amortization. Our segments, excluding our Engineered Solutions segment, have largely common production processes, and share manufacturing and distribution capacity. Accordingly, we do not identify net assets to our Distribution and OEM segments.

Raw Materials

Copper is the primary raw material used in the manufacturing of our products. We currently obtain copper from multiple suppliers and there are many alternative sources of copper available to us. An unanticipated significant issue with any of our current suppliers of copper would require us to transition to alternative suppliers. While such a transition would cost us time and resources, alternative suppliers are readily available. Other significant raw materials used in the manufacturing of our products are plastics, such as polyethylene and PVC, aluminum, linerboard and wood reels. As with copper, these raw materials are sourced from multiple suppliers and there are many alternative suppliers available to us. We typically have supplier agreements with terms of one to two years under which we may make purchases at the prevailing market price at the time of purchase, with no minimum purchase requirements. Our centralized procurement department makes an ongoing effort to reduce and contain raw material costs. From time to time, we have employed, and may continue to employ, the use of derivatives, including copper commodity contracts, to manage our costs for such materials and to match our sales terms with certain customers.

As noted above, copper comprises one of the major components for wire and cable products. Copper prices can be volatile. Wire and cable manufacturers are generally able to pass through changes in the cost of copper to customers. The cost of our products typically comprises a relatively small component of the overall cost of end products produced by customers in each of our end markets. As a result, our customers are generally less sensitive to marginal fluctuations in the price of copper as our products make up a relatively small portion of their overall purchases. However, there can be timing delays of varying lengths for implementing price changes depending on the magnitude of the change, the type of product, competitive conditions, particular customer arrangements, and inventory management.

Foreign Sales and Assets

For 2012, 2011 and 2010, our consolidated net sales included a total of $65.8 million, $63.7 million and $47.7 million, respectively, of Canadian sales. In addition, we had a total of approximately $0.3 million and $0.2 million in tangible long-lived assets in Canada at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As a result of the Technology Research Corporation (“TRC”) acquisition, we had $1.5 million and $1.6 million in tangible long-lived assets in Honduras at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We did not have any significant sales outside of the U.S. and Canada in 2012, 2011 or 2010. In addition, there are no external sales from our location in Honduras. All sales transactions to and from Honduras are intercompany transactions with other owned entities.

Patents and Trademarks

We own a number of U.S. and foreign patents covering certain of our products. Our patents have varying durations currently ranging from less than a year to 15 years. We also own a number of registered trademarks. While we consider our patents and trademarks to be valuable assets, we do not consider any single patent or trademark to be of such material importance that its absence would cause a material disruption to our business.

Seasonality and Business Cycles

Our net sales follow general business cycles. We also have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, certain seasonal trends in net sales and cash flow. Net sales are generally higher in the third and fourth quarters

7

due to increased customer demand in anticipation of, and during, the winter months and holiday season. As a result of historically higher demand for our products during the late fall and early winter months, we typically increase our inventory levels during the third and early fourth quarters of the year. In addition, trade receivables arising from increased shipments made during the late fall and early winter months are typically collected during late fourth quarter and early first quarter of each year.

Backlog and Shipping

We have no significant order backlog because, in general, we follow the industry practice of stocking finished goods to meet customer demand on a just-in-time basis. We believe that the ability to fill orders in a timely fashion is a competitive factor in the markets in which we operate.

Employees

As of December 31, 2012, we had 1,726 employees, with 15.3% of our employees represented by one labor union. Our current collective bargaining agreement expired December 21, 2012 and was subsequently extended until April 30, 2013. We consider our labor relations to be good and we have not experienced any significant labor disputes.

Environmental, Health and Safety Regulation

Many of our products are subject to the requirements of federal, state and local or foreign regulatory authorities. We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign environmental, health and safety protection laws and regulations governing our operations and the use, handling, disposal and remediation of regulated materials currently or formerly used by us. A risk of environmental liability is inherent in our current and former manufacturing activities in the event of a release or discharge of regulated materials generated by us. We are party to one environmental claim, which is described below under the heading “Legal Proceedings.” At this time, the cost of compliance with environmental, health and safety laws and requirements is not material to us. There can be no assurance that the costs of complying with environmental, health and safety laws and requirements in our current operations, or that the potential liabilities arising from past releases of or exposure to regulated materials, will not result in future expenditures by us that could materially and adversely affect our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

Disruptions in the supply of copper and other raw materials used in our products could cause us to be unable to meet customer demand, which could result in the loss of customers and net sales.

Copper is the primary raw material that we use to manufacture our products. Other significant raw materials that we use are plastics, such as polyethylene and PVC, aluminum, linerboard and wood reels. We typically have supplier agreements with terms of one to two years for our raw material needs that do not require us to purchase a minimum amount of these raw materials or involve long term fixed pricing arrangements. If we are unable to maintain good relations with our suppliers or if there are any business interruptions at our suppliers, we may not have access to a sufficient supply of raw materials. If we lose one or more key suppliers and are unable to locate an alternative supply, we may not be able to meet customer demand, which could result in the loss of customers and a decrease in net sales.

Fluctuations in the price of copper and other raw materials, as well as fuel and energy, and increases in freight costs could increase our cost of goods sold and affect our profitability.

The prices of copper and our other significant raw materials, as well as fuel and energy costs, are subject to considerable volatility. This volatility has affected our profitability and we expect that it will continue to do so in

8

the future. Our agreements with our suppliers generally require us to pay market price for raw materials at the time of purchase. As a result, volatility in these prices, particularly copper prices, can result in significant fluctuations in our cost of goods sold. If the cost of raw materials increase and we are unable to increase the prices of our products, or offset those cost increases with cost savings in other parts of our business, our profitability will be reduced. As a result, increases in the price of copper and other raw materials may affect our profitability if we cannot effectively pass these price increases on to our customers. In addition, we pay the freight costs on certain customer orders. In the event that freight costs increase substantially due to fuel surcharges or otherwise our profitability may decline.

The markets for our products are highly competitive, and our inability to compete with other manufacturers in the wire and cable industry could harm our net sales and profitability.

The markets for wire and cable products is fragmented and characterized by a large number of competitors. As such, these markets are highly competitive. We compete with at least one major competitor in each of our business lines. In addition, many of our products are made to industry specifications and may be considered fungible with our competitors’ products. Accordingly, we are subject to competition in many of our markets primarily on the basis of price. We must also be competitive in terms of quality both of product offering, inventory availability, delivery time, price, quality, customer service and relationships, brand recognition and logistics capabilities. We are facing increased competition from products manufactured in foreign countries that in many cases are comparable in terms of quality but are offered at lower prices. Unless we can produce our products at competitive prices or purchase comparable products from foreign sources on favorable terms, we may experience a decrease in our net sales and profitability. Many of these competitors have greater resources, financial and otherwise, than we do and may be better positioned to invest in manufacturing and supply chain efficiencies and product development. We may not be able to compete successfully with our existing competitors or with new competitors.

We face pricing pressure in each of our markets, and our inability to continue to achieve operating efficiency and productivity improvements in response to pricing pressure may result in lower margins.

We face pricing pressure in each of our markets as a result of significant competition and industry overcapacity, and price levels for many of our products (after excluding price adjustments related to the increased cost of copper) have declined over the past few years. We expect pricing pressure to continue for the foreseeable future. A component of our business strategy is to continue to achieve operating efficiencies and productivity improvements with a focus on lowering purchasing, manufacturing and distribution costs. We may not be successful in lowering our costs. In the event we are unable to lower these costs in response to pricing pressure, we may experience lower margins and decreased profitability.

We have significant indebtedness outstanding and may incur additional indebtedness that could negatively affect our business.

We have a significant amount of indebtedness. At December 31, 2012, we had approximately $323.8 million of total indebtedness, comprised of $272.7 million related to our 9% Senior Notes due in 2018 (“2018 Senior Notes”), including an unamortized debt discount of $2.3 million, $50.4 million from our revolving credit facility, and $0.7 million of capital leases.

Our high level of indebtedness and dependence on indebtedness could have important consequences to our shareholders, including the following:

• our ability to obtain additional financing for capital expenditures, potential acquisition opportunities or general corporate or other purposes may be impaired;

• a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations must be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, reducing the funds available to us for other purposes;

• it may place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or are less leveraged; and

9

• we may be more vulnerable to economic downturns, may be limited in our ability to respond to competitive pressures and may have reduced flexibility in responding to changing business, regulatory and economic conditions.

Our ability to satisfy our debt obligations will depend upon, among other things, our future operating performance and our ability to refinance indebtedness when necessary. Each of these factors is, to a large extent, is dependent on economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. If, in the future, we cannot generate sufficient cash from operations to make scheduled payments on our debt obligations, we will need to refinance our existing debt, issue additional equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, obtain additional financing or sell assets. Our business may not be able to generate cash flow or we may not be able to obtain funding sufficient to satisfy our debt service requirements.

We may not be able to successfully identify, finance or integrate acquisitions in order to grow our business.

We regularly evaluate possible acquisition candidates. We may not be successful in identifying, financing and closing acquisitions on favorable terms. Potential acquisitions may require us to obtain additional financing or issue additional equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, and any such financing and issuance of equity may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we finance acquisitions by issuing equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, our existing shareholders could be diluted, which, in turn, could adversely affect the market price of our stock. If we finance an acquisition with debt, it could result in higher leverage and interest costs. Further, we may not be successful in integrating any such acquisitions that are completed. Integration of any such acquisitions may require substantial management, financial and other resources and may pose risks with respect to production, customer service and market share of existing operations. In addition, we may acquire businesses that are subject to technological or competitive risks, and we may not be able to realize the benefits expected from such acquisitions.

Our products could be subject to product liability claims and litigation, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations and harm our business reputation.

We manufacture products that create exposure to product liability claims, breach of contract claims and litigation. If our products are not properly manufactured or designed, personal injuries or property damage could result, which could subject us to claims for damages. The costs associated with defending product liability claims and payment of damages could be substantial. Our reputation could also be adversely affected by such claims, whether or not successful, and such claims could lead to decreased demand for our systems and products.

Advancing technologies, such as fiber optic and wireless technologies, may make some of our products less competitive and reduce our net sales.

Technological developments could cause our net sales to decline. For example, a significant decrease in the cost and complexity of installation of fiber optic systems or a significant increase in the cost of copper-based systems could make fiber optic systems superior on a price performance basis to copper systems and could have a material adverse effect on our business. Also, advancing wireless technologies, as they relate to network and communication systems, may reduce the demand for our products by reducing the need for on premises wiring. Wireless communications depend heavily on a fiber optic backbone and do not depend as much on copper-based systems. An increase in the acceptance and use of voice and wireless technology, or introduction of new wireless or fiber-optic based technologies, may have a material adverse effect on the marketability of our products and our profitability. If wireless technology were to significantly erode the markets for copper-based systems, our sales of copper premise cables could face downward pressure.

If our goodwill or other intangible assets become impaired, we may be required to recognize charges that would reduce our income.

Under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., goodwill assets are not amortized but must be reviewed for possible impairment annually, or more often in certain circumstances if events indicate that the

10

asset values are not recoverable. Deterioration in the macro-economic environment, changes in assumptions, or other factors could necessitate an earnings charge for the impairment of goodwill or other intangible assets in the future, which would reduce our income.

We have incurred restructuring charges in the past and may incur additional restructuring charges in the future.

We have incurred significant restructuring costs in the past and may incur additional restructuring charges in the future. We may not be able to achieve the planned cash flows and savings estimates associated with such restructuring activities if we are unable to accomplish them in a timely manner, are unable to achieve expected efficiencies or cost savings, or unforeseen developments or expenses arise. As we respond to changes in the market and fluctuations in demand levels, we may be required to realign plant production or otherwise restructure our operations, which may result in additional and potentially significant restructuring charges.

Some of our employees belong to a labor union and certain actions by such employees, such as strikes or work stoppages, could disrupt our operations or cause us to incur costs.

As of December 31, 2012, we employed 1,726 persons, 15.3% of whom are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, which expired on December 21, 2012. The Company subsequently extended the agreement until April 30, 2013. If unionized employees were to engage in a concerted strike or other work stoppage, if other employees were to become unionized, or if we are unable to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement when the current one expires, we could experience a disruption of operations, higher labor costs or both. A strike or other disruption of operations or work stoppage could reduce our ability to manufacture quality products for our customers in a timely manner.

We may be unable to raise additional capital to meet working capital and capital expenditure needs if our operations do not generate sufficient funds to do so.

Our business is expected to have continuing capital expenditure needs. If our operations do not generate sufficient funds to meet our capital expenditure needs for the foreseeable future, we may not be able to gain access to additional capital, if needed, particularly in view of competitive factors and industry conditions. In addition, increases in the cost of copper increase our working capital requirements. If we are unable to obtain additional capital, or unable to obtain additional capital on favorable terms, our liquidity may be diminished and we may be unable to effectively operate our business.

We are subject to environmental, health and safety and other laws and regulations which could adversely affect our operations and business.

We are subject to the environmental laws and regulations of each jurisdiction where we do business. We are currently, and may in the future be, held responsible for remedial investigations and clean-up costs of certain sites damaged by the discharge of regulated materials, including sites that have never been owned or operated by us but at which we have been identified as a potentially responsible party under federal and state environmental laws. Certain of these laws, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et seq. (“CERCLA”), impose strict, and under certain circumstances, joint and several, liability for investigation and cleanup costs at contaminated sites on responsible parties, as well as liability for damages to natural resources. We have established reserves for such potential liability and believe those reserves to be adequate; however, there is no guarantee that such reserves will be adequate or that additional liabilities will not arise. See “Legal Proceedings.”

Failure to comply with environmental laws can result in substantial fines, orders to install pollution control equipment and/or claims for alleged personal injury and property damage. Changes in environmental requirements in both domestic and foreign jurisdictions and their enforcement could adversely affect our operations due to increased costs of compliance and potential liability for noncompliance.

11

Disruption in the importation of our raw materials and products and the risks associated with international operations could cause our operating results to decline.

We source certain raw materials and products from foreign-based suppliers. Foreign material purchases expose us to a number of risks, including unexpected changes in regulatory requirements and tariffs, possible difficulties in enforcing agreements, exchange rate fluctuations, and difficulties in obtaining import licenses, economic or political instability, embargoes, exchange controls or the adoption of other restrictions on foreign trade. Although we currently manufacture the vast majority of our products in the U.S., to the extent we decide to establish foreign manufacturing facilities, our foreign manufacturing sales would be subject to similar risks. Further, imports of raw materials and products are subject to unanticipated transportation delays that affect international commerce.

We have risks associated with inventory.

Our business requires us to maintain substantial levels of inventory. We must identify the right mix and quantity of products to keep in our inventory to meet customer orders. Failure to do so could adversely affect our sales and earnings. However, if our inventory levels are too high, we are at risk that an unexpected change in circumstances, such as a shift in market demands, drop in prices, or default or loss of a customer, could have a material adverse impact on the net realizable value of our inventory.

Changes in industry standards and regulatory requirements may adversely affect our business.

As a manufacturer and distributor of wire and cable products, we are subject to a number of industry standard setting authorities, such as Underwriters Laboratories. In addition, many of our products are subject to the requirements of federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities. Changes in the standards and requirements imposed by such authorities could have an adverse effect on us. In the event that we are unable to meet any such standards when adopted, our business could be adversely affected.

Our business is subject to the economic, political and other risks of operating and selling products in foreign countries.

Our foreign operations, including Canada, Honduras, and China, are subject to risks inherent in maintaining operations abroad, such as economic and political destabilization, international conflicts, restrictive actions by foreign governments, nationalizations or expropriations, changes in regulatory requirements, the difficulty of effectively managing diverse global operations, adverse foreign tax laws and the threat posed by potential pandemics in countries that do not have the resources necessary to deal with such outbreaks. Over time, we intend to continue expanding our foreign operations, which would serve to increase the level of these risks relative to our business operations and their potential effect on our financial position and results of operations.

We are substantially dependent upon distributors and retailers for non-exclusive sales of our products and they could cease purchasing our products at any time.

Distributors and retailers account for a substantial portion of our sales. These distributors and retailers are not contractually obligated to carry our product lines exclusively or for any period of time. Therefore, these distributors and retailers may purchase products that compete with our products or cease purchasing our products at any time. The loss of one or more large distributors or retailers could have a material adverse effect on our ability to bring our products to end users and on our results of operations. Moreover, a downturn in the business of one or more large distributors or retailers could adversely affect our sales and could create significant credit exposure.

Changes in state and federal tax laws could have a significant impact on our business.

The Company is subject to federal, state, local and foreign taxes. Uncertainty exists surrounding whether certain income tax provisions will remain enacted or change in some manner through passage of new tax legislation. Our

12

effective tax rates could be adversely affected by changes in tax legislation. Additionally, the Company is subject to federal, state, and local tax audits, as well as audits by non-U.S. tax authorities. The audits could result in unfavorable tax adjustments, which could negatively impact the Company’s results.

Failure to retain and attract key employees could have a significant impact on our business.

Our success has been largely dependent on the skills, experience and efforts of our key employees and the loss of the services of any of our executive officers or other key employees, without a properly executed transition plan, could have an adverse affect on us. The loss of our key employees who have intimate knowledge of our manufacturing process could lead to increased competition to the extent that those employees are hired by a competitor and are able to recreate our manufacturing process. Our future success will also depend in part upon our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, who are in great demand.

We do not believe that any single leased facility is material to our operations and, if necessary, we could readily obtain a replacement facility. Our real estate assets have been pledged as security for certain of our debt.

Our principal corporate offices are located at 1530 Shields Drive, Waukegan, Illinois 60085.

ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of our business, including product liability claims relating to the manufacture or design of our products. In those cases where we are the defendant, plaintiffs may seek to recover large and sometimes unspecified amounts or other types of relief and some matters may remain unresolved for several years. We believe that none of the routine litigation that we now face, individually or in the aggregate, will be material to our business. However, an adverse determination could be material to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in any given period. We maintain insurance coverage for litigation that arises in the ordinary course of our business and believe such coverage is adequate.

We are party to one environmental claim. The Leonard Chemical Company Superfund site consists of approximately 7.1 acres of land in an industrial area located a half mile east of Catawba, York County, South Carolina. The Leonard Chemical Company operated this site until the early 1980s for recycling of waste solvents. These operations resulted in the contamination of soils and groundwater at the site with hazardous substances. In 1984, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency listed this site on the National Priorities List. Riblet Products Corporation, with which we merged in 2000, was identified through documents as a company that sent solvents to the site for recycling and was one of the companies receiving a special notice letter from the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) identifying it as a party potentially liable under the CERCLA.

In 2004, along with other “potentially responsible parties” (“PRPs”), we entered into a consent decree with the EPA requiring the performance of a remedial design and remedial action (“RD/RA”) for this site. We have entered into a site participation agreement with other PRPs for fulfillment of the requirements of the consent decree. Under the site participation agreement, we are responsible for a 9.19% share of the costs for the RD/RA. We had a $0.3 million accrual recorded for this liability as of December 31, 2012 and 2011.

We recently received a civil complaint for $2.3 million plus attorney’s fees and expenses related to a recent acquisition. We believe the civil complaint lacks merit and is not payable by us. We believe that we have substantial and meritorious defenses to all currently pending matters. As a result of these and other factors and although no assurances are possible, our currently pending matters are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Although no assurances are possible, we believe that our accruals related to environmental litigation and other claims are sufficient and that these items and our rights to available insurance and indemnity will be resolved without material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

In August 2011, we announced a two-year stock repurchase plan approved by our board of directors pursuant to which up to 0.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock is authorized to be purchased in open market or privately negotiated transactions. We may repurchase our common shares in the future but whether we do so will depend on a number of factors and there can be no assurance that we will purchase any amounts of our common shares.

The following table provides information about purchases made during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 of equity securities that are registered by us pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act:

None.

Dividends and Distributions

The Company declared $0.02 dividends for shareholders of record in May, July and November during 2012. Payment of future dividends, if any, will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on many factors, including general economic and business conditions, our strategic plans, our financial results and condition, legal requirements and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant. Our credit facility and the indenture governing our 2018 Senior Notes each contain restrictions on the payment of dividends to our shareholders. See Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Revolving Credit Facility,” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — 9% Senior Notes due 2018 (“Senior Notes”).”

(1) Intangible asset amortization was $12.0 million, $8.8 million, $6.8 million, $7.0 million and $7.9 million for 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively, related to acquisitions made in 2007, 2011, and 2012.

(2) Asset impairments included approximately: (1) $29.3 million recorded in 2008 primarily reflecting impairment of goodwill, other intangible assets and certain plant and equipment associated with our OEM segment; (2) $70.8 million of impairment charges consisting primarily of a goodwill impairment recorded during the first quarter of 2009 across three of four reporting units comprising our Distribution segment: Electrical distribution, Wire and Cable distribution, and Industrial distribution. This goodwill impairment resulted from a combination of factors which were in existence at that time, including a significant decline in our market capitalization, as well as the recessionary economic environment and its then estimated potential impact on our business; (3) $0.3 million recorded in 2010 for write-downs associated with properties held for sale.

(3) Restructuring charges included: (1) $10.2 million recorded in 2008, primarily recorded in connection with the integration of our 2007 Acquisitions; (2) approximately $5.5 million recorded in 2009 related to the closure of our facilities in East Long Meadow, MA and Oswego, NY, both of which were closed in 2009, as well as holding costs associated with properties closed in 2008; (3) $2.0 million recorded in 2010 is related to our estimate of the remaining liability related to our closed facilities under lease in 2008 and 2009. The charge represented holding costs incurred related to those closed facilities; (4) $2.0 million recorded in 2011 primarily comprised of $0.9 million in severance costs related to an announced realignment of our Canadian operations and $0.4 million in connection with vacating and terminating a lease associated with such operations. The remaining charge also included lease termination and other holding costs for facilities closed in prior years; and (5) $1.6 million recorded in 2012, including most notably, $1.3 million related to equipment moving and other close-related costs, and severance incurred in connection with the closure of our manufacturing facility in Texarkana, Arkansas. The balance of the restructuring charges recorded for 2012 related to costs incurred at facilities closed in prior years currently consisting of one leased and one owned facility for which we continue to pay holding costs.

(4) We recorded a gain of approximately $3.3 million in 2009 resulting from our repurchase of $15.0 million in par value of our 9.875% Senior Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Senior Note”).

(5) We recorded a loss of $8.6 million in 2010 on the early extinguishment of our 2012 Senior Notes. The amount included the write-off of approximately $1.9 million of unamortized debt issuance costs and bond premium amounts related to the 2012 Senior Notes, as well as the impact of the call and tender premiums paid in connection with the refinancing.

(6) Other (income) loss included approximately: (1) a loss of $2.2 million in 2008 primarily due to unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations related to our Canadian operations; (2) a gain of $1.2 million in 2009 primarily due to favorable exchange rate fluctuations related to our Canadian operations; (3) a gain of $0.2 million in 2010 primarily due to favorable exchange rate fluctuations; (4) a gain of $0.1 million which comprised of a $0.4 million gain recognized from the reversal of a contingent liability assumed from the acquisition of Technology Research Corporation that no longer became probable as well as a $0.3 million loss due to unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations; and (5) a loss of $0.2 million in 2012 related to unfavorable exchange rate fluctuations.

(7) In addition to net income determined in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures in assessing our operating performance. These non-GAAP measures used by management include: (1) EBITDA, which we define as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense (“EBITDA”), (2) Adjusted EBITDA, which is our measure of EBITDA adjusted to exclude the impact of certain specifically identified items (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and (3) Adjusted earnings per share, which we calculate as diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude the estimated per share impact of the same specifically identified items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EPS”). For the periods presented in this report, the specifically identified items include asset impairments, restructuring charges, the gain on available for sale securities recorded in the second quarter of 2011 relative to our investment in TRC at the date of acquisition, acquisition-related costs, the favorable impact of an insurance settlement received in 2011 for a 2005 inventory-related theft, the loss recorded in connection with the extinguishment of our 2012 Senior Notes in 2010, and share-based compensation expense.

19

We believe both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA serve as appropriate measures to be used in evaluating the performance of our business. We employ the use of these measures in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and in determining levels of operating and capital investments. We believe both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons, determine key personnel bonuses, and identify strategies to improve operating performance. We also believe both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are performance measures that provide investors, securities analysts and other interested parties a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, business acquisitions, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies in our industry. However, the usefulness of both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as performance measures is limited by the fact that they both exclude the impact of interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and taxes. We borrow money in order to finance our operations; therefore, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue. Similarly, our use of capital assets makes depreciation and amortization expense a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate income. Since we are subject to state and federal income taxes, any measure that excludes tax expense has material limitations. Due to these limitations, we do not, and you should not, use either EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA as the only measures of our performance. We also use, and recommend that you consider, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. Finally, other companies may define EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures of other companies.

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss), as determined in accordance with GAAP, to EBITDA.

(8) Debt amortization costs are a component of interest expense per the income statement, but included within depreciation and amortization for operating cash flow presentation. Accordingly, for the above presentations only, depreciation and amortization expense does not include amortization of debt issuance costs, which is included in interest expense.

(9) Total debt includes the current portion of long-term debt and excludes the unamortized premium of $2.4 million, and $1.6 million as of December 31, 2008, and 2009, respectively, related to the 2012 Senior Notes and the unamortized discount of $(3.2) million, $(2.7) million and $(2.3) million as of December 31, 2010, 2011, and 2012 respectively, related to the 2018 Senior Notes.

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those described under “Item 1A, Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements.

2012 Overview

Overall, our volumes, measured in total pounds shipped, increased 5.4% in 2012 as compared to 2011, with relatively stronger increases in our industrial-related product categories as well as our OEM business, as market demand in both areas was favorably impacted by increased industrial output in the U.S. from 2011 levels. The diversity of our platform within a variety of industries helped with our overall growth during the year. For example, the continued strengthening of the U.S. auto market favorably impacted demand for our products serving that end-market. Other areas remained challenging, particularly channels and product categories linked to construction end-markets. We also benefited from the continued expansion of new industrial products developed internally over the past few years, as increased sales of such products in 2012 helped offset declines in certain legacy wire and cable products.

The average price of copper in 2012 was $3.61 per pound compared to an average price of $4.00 in 2011. We experienced a sharp decline in copper prices in the fourth quarter of 2011 followed by a rebound in prices in the first quarter of 2012. Although there was some volatility in the price of copper during 2012, prices overall remained relatively stable when compared to the volatility we experienced in 2011. Such copper price fluctuations can significantly impact our sales and short-term profitability, as copper constitutes the primary component of our product input costs, accounting for approximately 65.4% of our total cost of goods sold, and sharp copper price changes can impact the spread between the cost of copper in our products and the prices we are able to charge for our products.

Our overall financial and operating performance in 2012 was strong:

• Earnings per diluted share of $1.34 for 2012, compared to $0.99 in 2011 and $0.21 in 2010. On an adjusted basis, we recorded adjusted earnings per share of $1.48 for 2012, as compared to $1.20 and $0.69 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

• EBITDA for 2012 reached $85.4 million, as compared to EBITDA of $72.6 million and $50.6 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. On an adjusted basis, we recorded Adjusted EBITDA of $88.7 million in 2012, as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $78.6 million and $64.0 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively.

• Overall reported revenues increased 5.4% in 2012 to $914.6 million as compared to $867.4 million in 2011. The largest increase in both dollars and percentage came from our Engineered Solutions segment, approximately $26.5 million.

• Our total volume, measured in pounds shipped, within our Distribution and OEM segments, increased 5.4%.

• Operating profit increased 21.1% to $63.8 million in 2012 compared to $52.7 million in 2011. The largest increase in both dollars and percentage came from our Engineered Solutions segment which included the full year impact of the 2011 Acquisitions and seven months of results from our 2012 Watteredge acquisition. Both our Distribution and OEM segments also reported strong increases attributable to higher profitability on products sold.

Both the above-noted GAAP results and Non-GAAP measures, including our definition of such Non-GAAP measures and their reconciliation to GAAP measures, are set forth in greater detail as part of the “Consolidated Results of Operations” section that follows.

21

2012 Acquisition – Watteredge (“WE”)

On May 31, 2012, we acquired most of the operating assets (and assumed certain liabilities) of WE, an Ohio corporation that designs, manufactures and sells secondary power connectors, including electric arc furnace cables, resistance welding cables, industrial high-performance copper bus and accessories, and other high performance power conduction devices and accessories. WE serves the steel, chemical, chlorine, power generation, fiberglass and automotive industries and sells its products and services worldwide. We believe the acquisition of WE strengthens and provides for greater diversification of our overall portfolio.

The acquisition of the assets of WE, was structured as an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $33.9 million (equal to a $35.0 million preliminary purchase price adjusted by a $1.1 million working capital adjustment). The transaction was funded with proceeds from Coleman’s existing credit facility. Coleman retained WE’s workforce and has continued all of WE’s production at its current manufacturing plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. WE has been included as a component of our Engineered Solutions segment reported herein.

2011 Acquisitions

During the second quarter of 2011, we utilized cash on hand, as well as borrowings under our credit facility to complete three business acquisitions (collectively, the “2011 Acquisitions”), as set forth below. Each of these 2011 Acquisitions was structured as a cash transaction, with aggregate consideration totaling $68.9 million. As further discussed below, we believe these acquisitions represent significant opportunities for us, including the strengthening and greater diversification of our overall portfolio.

Acquisition of the Assets of The Designers Edge (“DE”)

On April 1, 2011, we acquired certain assets of DE, a leading designer and distributor of specialty lighting products in the U.S. and Canada. The total purchase price for the assets acquired, primarily trade receivables and merchandise inventories, was $10.1 million. The acquisition of DE’s assets significantly expanded our product portfolio across a wide range of lighting product categories, including industrial, work and utility, as well as products for security and landscape applications. We fully integrated the acquired assets of DE into our Distribution segment during the second quarter of 2011.

Acquisition of the Assets of First Capitol Wire and Cable (“FCWC”) and Continental Wire and Cable (“CWC”)

On April 29, 2011, we acquired the assets of FCWC and CWC, both of which were privately-held entities based in York, Pennsylvania, with CWC being a 100%-owned subsidiary of FCWC, which are leading manufacturers of industrial wire and cable products used across a number of commercial, utility and industrial end-markets. The total purchase price for the assets acquired, primarily merchandise inventories and production equipment, was $7.3 million. The acquisition of the assets of FCWC and CWC has allowed us to expand our capabilities, product offerings and capacity for producing a wide assortment of high-quality industrial cables. We fully integrated the assets of FCWC and CWC into our Distribution segment during the second quarter of 2011.

Acquisition of Technology Research Corporation (“TRC”)

On May 16, 2011, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of TRC. TRC is a recognized leader in providing cost effective engineered solutions for applications involving power management and control, intelligent battery systems technology and electrical safety products based on proven ground fault sensing and Fire Shield^® technology. These products are designed, manufactured and distributed to the consumer, commercial and industrial markets worldwide. TRC also supplies power monitors and control equipment to the U.S. Military and its prime contractors. TRC was publicly traded on the NASDAQ prior to its acquisition by Coleman. We completed the TRC acquisition as the result of a successful public tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of TRC. The total purchase price consideration for TRC was approximately $51.5 million, including the acquisition-date fair value of an approximate 4.8% interest in TRC acquired by Coleman prior to submitting its acquisition proposal for TRC.

22

The Company believes TRC’s sizable commercial and consumer products segment greatly broadens our current electrical products platform. In addition, TRC’s battery, power storage, and power management systems, represent new product lines for Coleman.

TRC has maintained its current production facilities in Clearwater, FL, and Honduras. We integrated a portion of TRC’s legacy business into our Distribution segment during 2011. The remainder of TRC’s legacy business, TRC’s military and specialty vehicle business is a component of the Engineered Solutions segment reported herein.

Purchase Price Allocations

Each of the above acquisitions was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, we have allocated the purchase price for each acquisition to the net assets acquired based on the related estimated fair values at each respective acquisition date. The expected long-term growth, increased market position and expected synergies to be generated from the acquisitions are the primary factors which gave rise to acquisition prices for each of the acquisitions which resulted in the recognition of goodwill.

The purchase price allocations for TRC, FCWC and CWC were finalized in 2011. At the end of the first quarter of 2012, we finalized our purchase accounting for DE as certain purchase price and other matters relative to this acquisition were resolved. As a result, the total purchase price for DE was lowered by $0.8 million, with a corresponding reduction in the goodwill recorded in respect to this acquisition. The purchase price allocation for the WE acquisition was finalized during the third quarter of 2012.

2013 Outlook

Looking to 2013, we anticipate modest growth in the overall demand for our products measured in total pounds shipped. We believe the growth in our business will come from our expanded product line brought about both by our 2012 and 2011 Acquisitions and the new industrial products we have internally developed and brought to market. Commodity prices and their potential short-term impact on our business results, however, remain a concern as further significant fluctuations in copper prices and other raw material inputs such as petroleum-based compounds and transportation costs, could impact our profitability. If general U.S. economic conditions improve further in 2013, we would expect to benefit given the diversity of our product offerings despite challenges which may persist in particular end-markets. A meaningful and sustained rebound within the housing and Commercial Construction markets could also contribute additional growth in 2013. We remain confident the Company is well positioned heading into 2013.

Though we have no immediate plans to make any acquisitions, we have and may continue to pursue acquisition opportunities that have the potential to increase the size of our business operation or provide us with strategic advantages. The consummation of any acquisition may result in increased borrowing under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The acquisition of WE is included in our consolidated results of operations beginning on the acquisition date May 31, 2012. Accordingly, the consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes seven months of operations for the assets acquired. The 2011 Acquisitions are included in our consolidated results of operations beginning from each respective acquisition date. Accordingly, the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes twelve months of operations for the assets acquired in connection with the TRC, DE, FCWC and CWC acquisitions. The consolidated results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes nine months of operations for the assets acquired in connection with the DE acquisition, approximately eight months of operations for the assets acquired in connection with both the FCWC and CWC acquisitions, and approximately seven and a half months of operations related to the acquisition of TRC. The consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2010 does not include the impact of the 2012 or 2011 Acquisitions.

23

In addition to net income determined in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP measures in assessing our operating performance. These non-GAAP measures used by management include: (1) EBITDA, which we define as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense (“EBITDA”), (2) Adjusted EBITDA, which is our measure of EBITDA adjusted to exclude the impact of certain specifically identified items (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and (3) Adjusted earnings per share, which we calculate as diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude the estimated per share impact of the same specifically identified items used to calculate Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EPS”). For the periods presented in this report, the specifically identified items include asset impairments, restructuring charges, the gain on available for sale securities recorded in the second quarter of 2011 relative to our investment in TRC at the date of acquisition, acquisition-related costs, the favorable impact of an insurance settlement received in 2011 for a 2005 inventory-related theft, the loss recorded in connection with the extinguishment of our 2012 Senior Notes in 2010, and share-based compensation expense.

We believe both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA serve as appropriate measures to be used in evaluating the performance of our business. We employ the use of these measures in the preparation of our annual operating budgets and in determining levels of operating and capital investments. We believe both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA allow us to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons, determine key personnel bonuses, and identify strategies to improve operating performance. We also believe both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are performance measures that provide investors, securities analysts and other interested parties a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, business acquisitions, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies in our industry. However, the usefulness of both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as performance measures is limited by the fact that they both exclude the impact of interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and taxes. We borrow money in order to finance our operations; therefore, interest expense is a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate revenue. Similarly, our use of capital assets makes depreciation and amortization expense a necessary element of our costs and ability to generate income. Since we are subject to state and federal income taxes, any measure that excludes tax expense has material limitations. Due to these limitations, we do not, and you should not, use either EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA as the only measures of our performance. We also use, and recommend that you consider, net income in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. Finally, other companies may define EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently and, as a result, our measure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA measures of other companies.

Similarly, we believe our use of Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EBITDA provides an appropriate measure to use in assessing our performance across periods given that this measure provides an adjustment for certain significant items, the magnitude of which may vary significantly from period to period. However, we do not, and do not recommend that you solely use Adjusted EPS to assess our financial and earnings performance. We also use, and recommend that you use, diluted earnings per share in addition to Adjusted EPS in assessing our earnings performance. Finally, other companies may define Adjusted EPS differently and, as a result, our measure of Adjusted EPS may not be directly comparable to Adjusted EPS measures of other companies.

The following tables, which reconcile our measure of Adjusted EPS to diluted earnings per share, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, respectively, should be used along with the above statements of income for the periods presented, and the accompanying results of operations review.

Earnings and Performance Summary

We recorded net income of $23.5 million (or $1.34 per diluted share) in 2012, as compared to $17.4 million (or $0.99 per diluted share) in 2011 and $3.7 million (or $0.21 per diluted share) in 2010. For 2012, we recorded EBITDA of $85.4 million as compared to EBITDA of $72.6 million and $50.6 million in 2011 and 2010, respectively. As set forth below, results for these periods were impacted by certain items, the magnitude of which may vary significantly from period to period and, thereby, have a disproportionate effect on the earnings reported for any given period. The income-statement review below contains further detail regarding each of these items.

(1) Asset impairments: We recorded $0.3 million ($0.2 million after tax, or $0.01 per diluted share) in non-cash asset impairments in 2010, related to properties held for sale in 2010.

(2) Restructuring charges: Our results for 2012, 2011 and 2010 included $1.6 million ($1.1 million after tax or $0.07 per diluted share) and $2.0 million ($1.2 million after tax or $0.07 per diluted share) and $2.0 million ($1.2 million after tax or $0.07 per diluted share), respectively, in restructuring charges. The 2012 expenses

25

were primarily comprised of facility closure costs and severance related to the closure of our Texarkana, Arkansas manufacturing facility which we closed in July 2012. The remainder of our 2012 expenses were for holding costs related to facilities closed in prior years. For 2011, these charges were primarily comprised of severance costs related to an announced realignment of our Canadian operations, including the planned elimination of certain support positions in our Toronto distribution center and headquarters, which we completed during the fourth quarter of 2011. As part of this realignment, at the end of the fourth quarter of 2011, we vacated our then Toronto-based distribution and headquarters facility, with a majority of our Canadian distribution being transitioned to our existing distribution facility in Wisconsin and a new, smaller Toronto-based distribution facility. Restructuring costs for 2011 also included lease termination and other holding costs related to facilities closed in prior years, consisting of one leased and one owned facility for which we continue to pay holding costs. In 2010, restructuring charges primarily related to lease liabilities associated with certain leased facilities closed during 2008 that were acquired in 2007, as well as our two 2009 plant closures.

(3) Loss on extinguishment of debt: We refinanced our 2012 Senior Notes during the first quarter of 2010 by issuing $275.0 million in 2018 Senior Notes. We recorded a loss of $8.6 million ($5.2 million after tax or $0.31 per diluted share) associated with this refinancing.

(4) Gain on available for sale securities: We held a 4.8% interest in TRC at the time we acquired TRC. The fair value of our 4.8% pre-existing interest at the merger date was included in the total purchase price for TRC. As a result, we recorded a non-taxable gain of $0.8 million (or $0.04 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2011, which represented the impact of re-measuring the fair value of the 4.8% equity interest in TRC we held before the business combination.

(5) Share-based compensation expense: Our results for 2012, 2011 and 2010 included share-based compensation expense of $1.2 million ($0.8 million after tax or $0.05 per diluted share), $3.2 million ($1.9 million after tax or $0.11 per diluted share) and $2.6 million ($1.6 million after tax or $0.09 per diluted share), respectively. Share-based compensation is excluded from our measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS in order for such measures to more closely reflect a measure of underlying operating results given periodic fluctuations in the estimated fair value of a significant portion of the underlying share-based instruments.

(6) Acquisition-related costs: Our results for 2012 and 2011 included acquisition-related costs of $0.4 million ($0.3 million after tax or $0.02 per diluted share) and $2.8 million ($2.0 million after tax or $0.11 per diluted share), respectively. Acquisition-related costs include outside legal, consulting and other fees, and direct expenses incurred relative to acquisitions. These costs are excluded from our measures of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS so that such measures may more closely reflect underlying operating results.

(7) Insurance-related settlement: In the fourth quarter of 2011, we received $1.3 million ($0.8 million after tax or $0.04 per diluted share) in proceeds, in settlement of an insurance related matter pertaining to an inventory theft that occurred in 2005 at a since closed facility.

Excluding the impact of the above-noted items, our results for 2012 as compared to 2011 and 2010, primarily reflected the impact of generally improved market conditions which have resulted in increased demand levels, and the favorable impact of such increased demand on our profitability, primarily in the form of higher overall gross profit, as well as the benefits of our cost-reduction and capacity rationalization efforts over the past three years.

Net Sales by Groups of Products

Net sales across our four major product lines were as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
Net Sales by Groups of Products	2012		2011		2010
	(In thousands)
Industrial Wire and Cable	$	455,870	$	412,248	$	328,405
Assembled Wire and Cable Products		212,215		237,716		196,523
Electronic Wire		208,579		177,817		154,825
Fabricated Bare Wire		37,917		39,575		24,010
Total	$	914,581	$	867,356	$	703,763

We are organized internally according to the customers we serve, which is reflected in the structure of our reportable segments: OEM, Distribution, and Engineered Solutions. The Distribution and OEM segments serve customers within the distribution, retail, and OEM businesses. We experienced increases in our Industrial Wire and Cable and Electrical Wire categories partially offset by a decline in our Assembled Wire and Cable products and our Fabricated Base Wire products. Overall reported revenues increased 5.4% in 2012 to $914.6 million as compared to $867.4 million in 2011. The largest increase in both dollars and percentage came from our Engineered Solutions segment. Our total volume, measured in pounds shipped, increased 5.4% associated with our Distribution and OEM segments in 2012 as compared to 2011.

27

In relation to the data presented above, however, we note that all product categories experienced net sales increases in 2011 as compared to 2010, primarily reflective of improved overall market conditions and increased copper prices. As noted above, the price of copper on the COMEX, which averaged $4.00 for 2011, increased 16.6% from 2010. The increase in net sales within the Industrial Wire and Cable product grouping in part reflected both an increase in demand for new products in 2011 and strong market demand improvement in this area as industrial output in the U.S. increased from 2010 levels. Assembled Wire and Cable Products benefited from underlying volume growth due to the TRC acquisition. While we do not have visibility to the specific end markets into which our products are ultimately sold, based on the nature of, and general applications for such products, we believe the relatively lower level of growth within the Electronic Wire grouping is reflective of the fact that a portion of the products within this category, such as thermostat and irrigation wire, are used in residential and commercial construction, which have not returned to pre-recessionary volume levels. Conversely, the relatively higher level of growth in net sales recorded within Fabricated Bare Wire reflects the improved volume as well as the copper component of such products.

Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2011

Net sales

The increase in 2012, as compared to 2011, reflected the following factors:

• Increased sales volumes (measured in total pounds shipped as set forth below) accounted for approximately $44.9 million;

• An increase of $26.5 million in net sales in our Engineered Solutions segment in 2012 as compared to 2011 due to the full year impact of our 2011 Acquisitions and seven months of results from our Watteredge acquisition, partially offset by

• Lowered selling prices, partially due to decreased copper prices, accounted for a decrease in net sales of approximately $24.2 million. In particular, average COMEX copper prices declined by 9.8% in 2012 as compared to 2011.

The following table sets forth our sales volume by segment, measured in thousands of total pounds shipped, as well as average COMEX copper prices for the periods presented:

Our volume increases were from a number of areas including wire and cable and distribution end markets, mainly in the form of increased demand from existing customers, which we believe was a function of both increased sales of our new industrial products, as well as improved market conditions. We believe the total volume increases within our OEM segment are representative of increased demand from existing customers and improved conditions within certain end-markets.

Gross profit

Our gross profit increased $15.8 million to $138.6 million in 2012 as compared to $122.8 million in 2011. These amounts included an increase of $9.4 million within our Engineered Solutions segment. Our 2012 results included the full impact of the TRC acquisition, as well as seven months of WE when compared to 2011, both of which are reported within Engineered Solutions. Excluding Engineered Solutions, our gross profit dollars increased $6.4 million which was mainly attributable to an increase in the overall product volume shipped during the year. As stated above, our sales volume measured in pounds shipped increased 5.4% in 2012 compared to 2011. This increase in volume helped to compensate for lower selling prices in our Distribution and OEM segments, primarily due to lower copper prices. In addition to our increase in overall gross profit, our gross profit as a percentage of net sales (“gross profit rate”) increased to 15.2% in 2012 as compared to 14.2% in 2011. The overall improvement reflects the inclusion of a greater proportion of sales within the Engineered Solutions segment, which generally carry higher margins and reflects increased fixed-cost leverage, as such costs were spread over a higher overall net sales base in 2012. Excluding the impact of Engineered Solutions, our gross profit rate increased to 14.3% in 2012 as compared to 13.9% in 2011, which is primarily due to improved pricing within our Distribution segment across certain end markets.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense

Our SG&A expenses increased $4.1 million in 2012 as compared to 2011. SG&A as a percentage of sales was 7.1% in 2012 and 7.0% in 2011. The overall increase includes $3.8 million attributable to our Engineered Solutions segment. As noted above, our 2012 results included the full impact of the TRC acquisition, as well as seven months of WE when compared to 2011. In addition, our 2011 SG&A expenses included the benefit of a $1.3 million cash settlement we received on an insurance related matter pertaining to an inventory theft that occurred in 2005 at a since closed facility. Excluding the impact of these two items, our SG&A expenses decreased by $1.0 million as compared to 2011. The $1.0 million decrease was primarily due to a reduction in acquisition related costs of $2.4 million due to less expenses incurred associated with the acquisition of WE compared to the expenses incurred from the 2011 Acquisitions and a $1.9 million decline in stock compensation expense. A critical component in determining stock compensation expense for certain unvested awards is the company’s stock price. The growth in our stock price during 2012 compared to 2011 was less than the growth in 2011 compared to 2010, which contributed less overall expense when measuring unvested stock awards. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in payroll and related benefits of $2.5 million, which primarily includes an increase in bonus expense and higher health care related expenses, and a net increase of $0.8 million, representing increases across a number of general expense areas.

Intangible amortization expense

Intangible amortization increased $0.9 million in 2012 as compared to 2011. The increase reflects the impact of amortization recorded in relation to the acquisition of WE partially offset by lower amortization expense recorded in relation to acquisitions made in prior years. Amortization expense relative to intangible assets reflects the fact that such assets are generally amortized using an accelerated amortization method, which reflects our estimate of the pattern in which the economic benefit derived from such assets is to be consumed and, accordingly, results in lower amortization in periods further removed from the period of initial recognition.

Restructuring charges

We recorded $1.6 million in restructuring costs in 2012, including most notably, $1.0 million related to equipment moving and other close-related costs and $0.3 million for severance incurred in connection with the closure of our manufacturing facility in Texarkana, Arkansas. The remaining $0.3 million represents holding costs related to facilities closed in prior years. As planned, we ceased all production at our Texarkana facility in July 2012 and operations of this facility have been moved to other existing manufacturing facilities. We believe these actions will generate approximately $1.0 to $1.5 million in annual costs savings, most notably in the form of reduced overhead costs. The balance of the restructuring charges recorded for 2012 related to costs incurred at

29

facilities closed in prior years currently consisting of one leased and one owned facility for which we continue to pay holding costs. In 2011 we recorded $2.0 million in restructuring costs, including most notably, $0.9 million of severance costs related to the realignment of our Toronto distribution facility. As part of this realignment, at the end of the fourth quarter of 2011, we vacated our then Toronto-based distribution and headquarters facility, with a majority of our Canadian distribution being transitioned to our existing distribution facility in Wisconsin and a new, smaller Toronto-based distribution facility. Restructuring costs also included lease termination and other holding costs related to facilities closed in prior years, currently consisting of one leased and one owned facility for which we continue to pay holding costs.

Operating Income

The following table sets forth operating income by segment, in thousands of dollars and segment operating income as a percentage of segment net sales.

	Year Ended December 31,												Year-over-Year Change
	2012						2011						2012 vs. 2011
	Amount			% Net Sales			Amount			% Net Sales			$ Change		% Change
	(Thousands)
Operating Income:
Distribution	$	62,609			9.7	%	$	60,885			9.6	%	$	1,724		2.8	%
OEM		17,375			7.7			15,526			7.1			1,849		11.9
Engineered Solutions		4,772			11.0			(820	)		(4.9	)		5,592		682.0

Consolidated operating income	$	63,811			7.0	%	$	52,684			6.1	%	$	11,127		21.1

Segment operating income represents income from continuing operations before interest income or expense, other income or expense, and income taxes. Corporate consists of items not charged or allocated to the segments, including costs for employee relocation, discretionary bonuses, professional fees, restructuring expenses, asset impairments, share-based compensation expense, and intangible amortization. Our Distribution, OEM, and Engineered Solutions segments have common production processes, and manufacturing and distribution capacity. Accordingly, we do not identify net assets to our segments. Depreciation expense is not allocated to segments, but is included in manufacturing overhead cost pools and is absorbed into product cost (and inventory) as each product passes through our numerous manufacturing work centers. Accordingly, as products are sold across our segments, it is impracticable to determine the amount of depreciation expense included in the operating results of each segment.

Distribution operating income improvement in 2012, as compared to 2011, primarily reflected the favorable gross profit impact of the above-noted increased sales and volume in 2012. The operating income rate was relatively unchanged in 2012 when compared to 2011.

OEM operating income improvement for 2012, as compared to 2011, primarily reflected the favorable gross profit impact of the above-noted increased sales and volume in 2012. The increase in operating income rate primarily reflects increased fixed-cost leverage as such costs were spread over a higher overall net sales base for 2012.

Engineered Solutions operating income improvement for 2012, as compared to 2011, primarily reflected the fact that 2012 included the full impact of TRC and seven months of results for WE. Additionally, our 2011 operating income was negatively impacted by a purchase accounting inventory step-up adjustment of approximately $1.0 million from our TRC acquisition whereas our 2012 operating income was inclusive of a less significant inventory step-up adjustment from the WE acquisition.

30

Interest expense

The $0.1 million decline in interest expense in 2012 as compared to 2011 reflects lower borrowing rates, unused line fees and expenses on our current Revolving Credit Facility (entered into by the Company in August of 2011), than existed under the terms of the credit facility that existed during much of 2011, partially offset by increased averaged borrowings.

Gain on available for sale securities

In the second quarter of 2011, prior to the acquisition of TRC, the Company owned 0.3 million shares of TRC common stock worth $7.20 per share as a result of the agreed upon purchase price. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance, the fair value of the previously owned investment was included in the total purchase price. As a result of the acquisition of TRC, we recognized a gain of $0.8 million on the difference between our cost basis and the fair value at the acquisition date.

Other income (loss), net

We recorded the impact of exchange rate changes on our Canadian subsidiary within other income. In 2012, we recorded a loss of $0.2 million primarily related to the impact of exchange rate changes. In 2011, as part of the TRC acquisition, we assumed a contingent liability of TRC related to an acquisition made by TRC in March 2010. Included in the preliminary purchase price allocation for TRC, was an accrual of $0.4 million, which represented our best estimate of TRC’s obligation under the terms of this earn-out. Subsequently, during the fourth quarter of 2011, we determined that it was no longer probable the amount of consideration relative to this earn-out provision would be paid. Accordingly, we reversed the entire amount of the earn-out liability established at the time of the acquisition of TRC, $0.4 million into other income. Additionally, we recorded a foreign currency loss of $0.3 million in 2011.

Income tax expense

The increase in our tax rate for 2012, as compared to 2011, 34.0% and 31.4%, respectively, is a result of the expiration of certain credits in 2012 as well as certain non-recurring tax benefits that were included in 2011 that were not applicable in 2012.

Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2010

Net sales

The increase in net sales in 2011, as compared to 2010, reflected the following factors:

• Increased selling prices, partially due to increased copper prices, accounted for increased net sales of approximately $98.5 million. In particular, average COMEX copper prices increased by 16.6% in 2011 as compared to 2010;

• Increased sales volumes (measured in total pounds shipped as set forth below), primarily due to overall market demand growth across a number of end markets, accounted for approximately $44.5 million; and

• The TRC acquisition, consummated in the second quarter of 2011, accounted for $20.6 million in increased net sales. Our 2010 results do not include TRC.

31

The following table sets forth our sales volume by segment, measured in thousands of total pounds shipped, as well as average COMEX copper prices for the periods presented:

Total Sales Volume in Pounds (1)	2011		2010		% Change
	(Thousands, except dollar amounts)

Average (year)	$	4.00	$	3.43		16.6

(1) Engineered Solutions does not currently track volume through total pounds shipped. The segment name was changed from “Other” in 2011 to “Engineered Solutions” in 2012.

(2) Represents the price for one pound of copper on the COMEX for the periods indicated, with the high and low values representing the highest and lowest monthly average price for each annual period shown, respectfully.

We believe the total volume increases noted above are generally indicative of an overall improvement in market conditions, as we have experienced broad-based demand increases across most areas of our business, as well as incremental volume gained from new products. The higher degree of volume growth experienced in 2011 within our OEM segment reflects both an expansion of our OEM customer base and increased demand from existing customers, which we believe is a function of the relative strength of the industrial-related end markets served by our OEM segment as compared to the broader U.S. economy.

Gross profit

The vast majority of the increase in gross profit for 2011, as compared to 2010, was attributable to incremental gross profit generated from the above-noted sales increases. To a lesser degree, the increased gross profit reflects an improvement in our gross profit as a percentage of net sales (“gross profit rate”). For 2011, our gross profit rate improved by 0.4 percent (as a percentage of net sales), as compared to 2010. This improvement in our gross profit rate reflected, in part, the favorable impact of higher-margin products brought about by the TRC acquisition as well as customer acceptance of product price increases across a number of end markets during 2011 that outpaced increases in the related costs of such products.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expense

The $14.2 million increase in SG&A expenses for 2011, as compared to 2010, included the impact of $9.5 million in expenses arising directly from the 2011 Acquisitions, primarily TRC, which accounted for approximately $5.8 million of the total, as well as $2.8 million of outside legal, consulting and other fees, and direct expenses incurred. We incurred no such acquisition-related costs in 2010. In addition, our 2011 SG&A expenses included the benefit of a $1.3 million cash settlement we received on an insurance related matter pertaining to an inventory theft that occurred in 2005, at a since closed facility. Excluding the net impact of these items, our SG&A expenses increased $6.0 million in 2011 as compared to 2010, primarily due to increased commission expense of $1.3 million due to higher sales volumes, as well as increased payroll and related costs of $1.7 million, most notably in the form of increased bonus expense recorded in 2011, as compared to 2010, given the improvement in our financial results between these two years.

Intangible amortization expense

The increase in intangible amortization for 2011, as compared 2010, reflects the impact of amortization recorded in relation to the 2011 Acquisitions partially offset by lower amortization expense recorded in relation to

32

acquisitions made in prior years. Amortization expense relative to intangible assets reflects the fact that such assets are generally amortized using an accelerated amortization method, which reflects our estimate of the pattern in which the economic benefit derived from such assets is to be consumed and, accordingly, results in lower amortization in periods further removed from the period of initial recognition.

Restructuring charges

We recorded $2.0 million in restructuring costs in 2011, including most notably, $0.9 million of severance costs related to the realignment of our Toronto distribution facility. As part of this realignment, at the end of the fourth quarter of 2011, we vacated our then Toronto-based distribution and headquarters facility, with a majority of our Canadian distribution being transitioned to our existing distribution facility in Wisconsin and a new, smaller Toronto-based distribution facility. Restructuring costs also included lease termination and other holding costs related to facilities closed in prior years, currently consisting of one leased and one owned facility for which we continue to pay holding costs. In 2010, we incurred $2.0 million, primarily comprised of holding costs associated with facilities closed throughout 2008 and 2009.

Operating Income

The following table sets forth operating income by segment, in thousands of dollars and segment operating income as a percentage of segment net sales.

	Year Ended December 31,												Year-over-Year Change
	2011						2010						2011 vs. 2010
	Amount			% Net Sales			Amount			% Net Sales			$ Change			% Change

Operating Income:
Distribution	$	60,885			9.6	%	$	47,834			9.1	%	$	13,051			27.3	%

Consolidated operating income	$	52,684			6.1	%	$	40,982			5.8	%	$	11,702			28.6

(1) The segment was changed from “Other” in 2011 to “Engineered Solutions” in 2012.

Distribution operating income improvement 2011, as compared to 2010, primarily reflected the favorable gross profit impact of the above-noted increased sales and volume in 2011. The operating income rate improvement primarily reflects increased fixed-cost leverage, as such costs were spread over a higher overall net sales base for 2011.

OEM operating income improvement in 2011, as compared to 2010, primarily reflected the favorable gross profit impact of the above-noted increased sales and volume in 2011. The decrease in operating income rate reflects the fixed margin nature in which higher copper prices inherently lower the realized margin.

Our Engineered Solutions reporting segment recorded an operating loss of $0.8 million for the approximate seven and a half month period from their acquisition through the 2011 year end, which is primarily reflective of SG&A expenses which have been absorbed over a lower than expected sales base.

Interest expense

We incurred increased interest expense due to higher average outstanding borrowings offset by a lowered rate on revolver borrowings for 2011 compared 2010.

33

Loss on extinguishment of debt

We recorded an $8.6 million loss in 2010 resulting from our issuance of our 2018 Senior Notes and the corresponding extinguishment of our outstanding 2012 Senior Notes.

Gain on available for sale securities

In the second quarter of 2011, prior to the acquisition of TRC, the Company owned 0.3 million shares of TRC common stock worth $7.20 per share as a result of the agreed upon purchase price. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance, the fair value of the previously owned investment was included in the total purchase price. As a result of the acquisition of TRC, we recognized a gain of $0.8 million on the difference between our cost basis and the fair value at the acquisition date.

Other income (loss), net

In 2011, we recorded a loss of $0.3 million as compared to a gain of $0.2 million in 2010, primarily reflecting the impact of exchange rate changes on our Canadian subsidiary.

In 2011, as part of the TRC acquisition, we assumed a contingent liability of TRC related to an acquisition made by TRC in March 2010. Included in the preliminary purchase price allocation for TRC, was an accrual of $0.4 million, which represented our best estimate of TRC’s obligation under the terms of this earn-out. Subsequently, during the fourth quarter of 2011, we determined that it was no longer probable the amount of consideration relative to this earn-out provision would be paid. Accordingly, we reversed the entire amount of the earn-out liability established at the time of the acquisition of TRC, $0.4 million, into other income.

Asset impairment

In 2010, we recorded a total of $0.3 million in asset impairments in 2010 for write-downs associated with properties being held for sale.

Income tax expense (benefit)

The increase in our tax rate for 2011 to 31.4%, as compared to 28.5% for 2010, is primarily attributable to changes in the relative jurisdictional mix of income from continuing operations before taxes as well, as transactions costs from the 2011 Acquisitions that were capitalized for tax purposes and that affected the 2011 rate and which were not applicable in 2010.

Debt

Our outstanding debt (including capital lease obligations) was as follows:

	As of December 31,
	2012		2011
	(In thousands)
Revolving Credit Facility expiring October 1, 2016	$	50,430	$	30,000

Capital lease obligations		695		836
Total debt	$	323,839	$	303,101

As of December 31, 2012, we had $9.6 million in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $9.7 million as of December 31, 2011. We also had approximately $131.6 million and $120.3 million in remaining excess availability under our Revolving Credit Facility at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility

We have a $250.0 million, five-year revolving credit facility agreement with an accordion feature that allows us to increase our borrowings by an additional $50.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility, which expires on October 1, 2016, is an asset-based loan facility, with a $20.0 million Canadian

35

facility sublimit, and which is secured by substantially all of our assets, as further detailed below. We incurred $1.5 million in fees and direct costs related to negotiating the Revolving Credit Facility in 2011. These respective fees will be amortized over the life of the revolver.

The interest rate charged on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on our election of either the base rate (greater of federal funds rate plus 0.5% and the lender’s prime rate) plus a range of 0.25% to 0.75% or the Eurodollar rate plus a range of 1.50% to 2.00%, in each case based on quarterly average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, we pay an unused line fee of between 0.25% and 0.50% based on quarterly average excess availability pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 for any month during which our excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below $30.0 million. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of (1) $250.0 million or (2) the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, 70% of eligible inventory, with a maximum amount of borrowing-base availability which may be generated from inventory of $150.0 million for the U.S. portion and $12.0 million Canadian for the Canadian portion, and an advance rate to be 75% of certain appraised real estate and 85% of certain appraised equipment and capped at $62.5 million, with a $15.0 million sublimit for letters of credit.

The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by CCI International, Inc. (“CCI International”), TRC (excluding TRC’s 100%-owned foreign subsidiary, TRC Honduras, S.A. de C.V.) and Patco Electronics (“Patco”) and WE, each of which are 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries, and is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of each of CCI International, TRC, Patco and WE, including accounts receivable, inventory and any other tangible and intangible assets (including real estate, machinery and equipment and intellectual property) as well as by a pledge of all the capital stock of CCI International, TRC, Patco, and WE and 65% of the capital stock of our Canadian foreign subsidiary, but not our Chinese 100%-owned entity.

We maintained greater than $30.0 million of monthly excess availability throughout 2012.

As of December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Revolving Credit Facility.

9% Senior Notes due 2018

Our 2018 Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2018 and have an aggregate principal amount of $275.0 million and a 9% coupon rate. Interest payments are due on February 15^th and August 15^th. As of December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our 2018 Senior Notes. Our 2018 Senior Notes were issued at a discount in 2010, resulting in proceeds of less than par value. This discount is being amortized to par value over the remaining life of the Senior Notes.

The Indenture relating to our 2018 Senior Notes contains customary covenants that limit us and our restricted subsidiaries from, among other things, incurring additional indebtedness, making restricted payments, creating liens, paying dividends, consolidating, merging or selling substantially all of their assets, entering into sale and leaseback transactions, and entering into transaction with affiliates. Additionally, all our domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee the Revolving Credit Facility are required under the Indenture to guarantee our obligations under the 2018 Senior Notes. Following our entry into the Revolving Credit Facility, TRC, Patco and WE became subsidiary guarantors of the 2018 Senior Notes. WE has also been added as a subsidiary guarantor of the 2018 Senior Notes.

Current and Future Liquidity

In general, we require cash to fund working capital, capital expenditures, debt repayment and interest payments. Our working capital requirements tend to increase when we experience significant increased demand for products

36

or significant copper price increases. Accordingly, we may be required to borrow against our Revolving Credit Facility in the future upon the occurrence of various events, including increases in the price of copper, which increase our working capital requirements. Our management assesses the future cash needs of our business by considering a number of factors, including: (1) earnings and cash flow performance, (2) future working capital needs, (3) current and projected debt service expenses, and (4) planned capital expenditures.

As of December 31, 2012, we had $50.4 million in outstanding borrowings against our Revolving Credit Facility and a corresponding $131.6 million in excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, and $9.6 million in cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2012, we had $2.2 million and $2.3 million of cash and cash equivalents held by our Canadian and Honduran subsidiaries, respectively. We used borrowings from the Revolving Credit Facility, as well as operating cash flows, to fund our 2012 capital expenditures and our 2012 acquisition of WE. We believe that our operating cash flows and borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations, meet our debt service requirements, and fund our planned capital expenditures and strategic acquisitions for the foreseeable future.

If we experience a deficiency in earnings compared to our fixed charges in the future, we would need to fund the fixed charges through a combination of cash flows from operations and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. If cash flows generated from our operations, together with borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, are not sufficient to fund our operations, meet our debt service requirements and fund our planned capital expenditures, and we need to seek additional sources of capital, the limitations on our ability to incur debt contained in the Revolving Credit Facility and the Indenture relating to our 2018 Senior Notes could prevent us from securing additional capital through the issuance of debt. In that case, we would need to secure additional capital through other means, such as the issuance of equity. In addition, we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we were not able to secure additional capital, we could be required to delay or forego capital spending or other corporate initiatives, such as the development of products, or acquisition opportunities.

Our Revolving Credit Facility permits us to redeem, retire or repurchase our 2018 Senior Notes subject to certain limitations. We may repurchase the 2018 Senior Notes in the future, but whether we do so will depend on a number of factors and there can be no assurance that we will repurchase any amounts of our Senior Notes.

We declared and paid cash dividends of $0.02 per share in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2012, respectively. Subsequent to December 31, 2012, we declared a $0.02 per share dividend on March 5, 2013 payable March 30, 2013 for shareholders of record as of March 15, 2013. Future declarations of quarterly dividends are subject to approval of the Board of Directors and may be adjusted as business needs or market conditions change.

On August 3, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 0.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase plan expires in August 2013. To date, we have repurchased 0.4 million shares pursuant to this repurchase program. There can be no assurance that any additional share purchases will be made. The number of shares actually purchased will depend on various factors, including limitations imposed by the Company’s debt instruments, the price of our common stock, overall market and business conditions and management’s assessment of competing alternatives for capital deployment.

Changes in Cash Flows Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2011

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $46.5 million and $24.9 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively. The $21.6 million increase in cash provided by operating activities for 2012 as compared to 2011 was largely the result of higher earnings and an improvement in working capital. In 2012, we had a working capital cash requirement of $0.4 million, as compared to a cash requirement of $17.6 million in 2011 an improvement of $17.2 million. Our December 31, 2012 accounts receivable balance increased 4.5% compared to December 31, 2011, resulting mainly from increased sales in the fourth quarter of 2012 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2011. This increase was reflective of increased demand levels manifested in higher volumes. Accounts receivable resulted in a use of cash of $3.0 million in 2012 as compared to $3.5 million in 2011, a modest improvement of $0.5 million. In 2012, our inventory levels remained relatively stable when compared to 2011. Inventory resulted in a use of cash of $1.7 million in 2012 as compared to $13.9 million in 2011 an improvement of $12.2 million. Our use of cash on inventory in 2011 was largely attributable to increased requirement levels associated with new products as well anticipated demand stemming from customers gained from our acquisitions. We had uses of $2.4 million from accounts payable and accrued liabilities million in 2012 compared to proceeds of $5.1 million in 2011 due to the timing and settlement of certain payables. We had proceeds of $6.7 million in 2012 from other assets as compared to uses of $5.2 million in 2011 primarily attributable the impact of estimated tax payments during the year.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for 2012 was $65.6 million, primarily due to the acquisition of WE and investments in capital expenditures compared to $74.2 million in 2011 from our 2011 Acquisitions and capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures were $32.5 million in 2012 as compared to capital expenditures of $15.0 million in 2011. The significant increase in capital spending for 2012 compared to 2011 reflects, in part, $6.5 million expended in January 2012 to acquire three of our previously leased manufacturing facilities and expansion of other facilities. In addition, we have undertaken a number of individual projects across our major manufacturing plants designed to improve our manufacturing efficiencies, lower our costs and expand our manufacturing capacity and capabilities. We anticipate spending approximately $14.0 to $16.0 million in capital expenditures in 2013.

38

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $18.6 million in 2012, as compared to $26.3 million in 2011. During 2012, a net $20.4 million was provided by borrowing against the Revolving Credit Facility, primarily to fund the WE acquisition, and $1.1 million used to repurchase 0.1 million shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the above noted share repurchase program announced in 2011. We also paid $1.1 million in dividends to shareholders in 2012 which we did not pay in 2011.

Changes in Cash Flows Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2010

Operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $24.9 million and $7.1 million for 2011 and 2010, respectively. The $17.8 million increase in cash provided by operating activities for 2011 as compared to 2010 was largely the result of improved working capital management. In 2011, working capital requirements required cash of $17.6 million, as compared to $27.6 million in 2010. Our December 31, 2011 receivable balance was $120.6 million, an 8.8% increase as compared to $110.8 million at December 31, 2010, resulting mainly from increased sales in the fourth quarter of 2011, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2010. This sales increase was reflective of increased demand levels manifested in higher volumes. Accounts receivable resulted in a use of cash of $3.5 million in 2011, as compared to $24.7 million in 2010, an improvement of $21.2 million, as a result of improving our day’s sales outstanding in 2011, as compared to 2010. Our December 31, 2011 inventory balance increased 34.0% from December 31, 2010, largely due to inventory requirements related to our 2011 Acquisitions. As a result, higher average inventory balances resulted in the use of $13.9 million in 2011, a $1.0 million improvement from 2010. The use of inventory in 2011 also resulted from the placement of inventory resulting from our new acquisitions, and accounted for $17.3 million of total inventory at the conclusion of 2011. The use of cash for accounts receivable and inventory was offset by proceeds of cash from accounts payable and accrued liabilities, resulting in $5.1 million, as a function of increased payables and accruals brought about by the above-noted increased inventory levels over the same time period.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities for 2011 was $74.2 million, primarily due to the 2011 Acquisitions, as discussed above. During 2011, we purchased no investments, as compared to $1.6 million in investments during 2010. During 2011, we spent $15.0 million in capital expenditures, as compared to $6.4 million in 2010, with the increase in capital spending reflecting opportunities to selectively add manufacturing capacity and capabilities, as well as reduce costs.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $26.3 million in 2011, as compared to $23.3 million in cash for financing activities in 2010. During 2011 a net $30.0 million was provided by borrowing against the Revolving Credit Facility, primarily to fund the 2011 Acquisitions, as well as $2.8 million used to repurchase 0.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the above noted share repurchase program announced in 2011. During 2010, $23.3 million was provided by financing activities, due primarily to the refinancing of our Senior Notes during the first quarter of 2010.

Seasonality

We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, certain seasonal trends in our net sales and cash flow. We generally require increased levels of cash during the second and third quarters of the year to build inventories in anticipation of higher demand during the late fall and early winter months. In general, the trade receivables generated from these periods of relatively higher sales is subsequently collected during the late fourth and early first quarter of each year.

(1) At December 31, 2012, we have $50.4 million outstanding against our Revolving Credit Facility. Of this total, we have classified $35.6 million as a component of current portion of long-term borrowings on our December 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet based on our expected repayment forecasting in 2013. The remaining balance of $15.6 million is classified as a component of Long-term debt, as our Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity of October 1, 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. While our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in the notes to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

We recognize sales of our products when the products are shipped to customers and title passes to the customer in accordance with the terms of sale. We provide incentive allowances to our customers, with the amount of such promotional allowances being tied primarily to the particular customer’s level of purchasing activity during a specified time period or periods. We record an accrual for such promotional allowances and reflect the expenses as a reduction of our net sales when we determine that it is probable the allowances will be earned by the customer and the amount of the allowances can be reasonably estimated. We base our accruals primarily on sales activity and our historical experience with each customer.

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts

We record an allowance for uncollectible accounts to reflect management’s best estimate of losses inherent in our receivables as of the balance sheet date given the facts available to us at the time the allowance is recorded. Establishing this allowance involves considerable judgment. In calculating the necessary allowance for uncollectible accounts, we perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers. We consider both the current financial condition of individual customers and historical write-off patterns in establishing our allowance. When

40

we become aware that, due to deterioration of their financial condition or for some other reason, a particular customer is unable or unwilling to pay an amount owed to us, we record a specific allowance for receivables related to that customer to reflect our best estimate of the realizability of amounts owed. Actual future collections of receivables could differ significantly from our estimates as a function of future, unforeseen changes in general, industry and specific customers’ financial conditions. In addition, we reserve for customer credits and discounts expected to be issued relative to our accounts receivable balance. These reserves are intended to reflect an estimate of future credits and discounts that are probable of issuance in relation to the existing accounts receivable balance, and these estimates are based on historical experience.

Inventories

Inventories include material, labor and overhead costs and are recorded at the lower of cost or market using a weighted-average first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method. In applying FIFO, we evaluate the realizability of our inventory on a product-by-product basis. In circumstances where inventory levels are in excess of anticipated market demand, where inventory is deemed technologically obsolete or not saleable due to its condition or where the inventory cost for an item exceeds its net realizable value, we record a charge to cost of goods sold and reduce the inventory to its net realizable value. Copper constitutes our primary inventory component.

Plant and Equipment and other Long-Lived Assets

Plant and equipment are carried at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to twenty years, using principally the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for tax reporting purposes. Our other long-lived assets consist primarily of customer-related intangible assets, trademarks and trade names recorded in connection with acquisitions occurring over the past several years. These intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives using an accelerated amortization methodology which reflects our estimate of the pattern in which the economic benefit derived from such assets is to be consumed. The carrying value of all long-lived assets is evaluated periodically to determine if adjustment to the depreciation period or the carrying value is warranted. When events and circumstances indicate that our long-lived assets should be reviewed for possible impairment, we test for the existence of impairment by developing and utilizing projections of future cash flows expected to be generated from the use and eventual disposition of the assets or asset groups in question. Our asset groups reflect the shared nature of our facilities and manufacturing capacity of our Distribution and OEM businesses. Expected cash flows are projected on an undiscounted basis over the remaining life of the assets or asset groups in question to determine whether such cash flows are expected to exceed the recorded carrying amount of the assets involved. If we identify the existence of impairment as a result of this test, we determine the amount of the impairment loss by the extent to which the carrying value of the impaired assets exceed their fair values as determined by valuation techniques including, as appropriate, the use of discounted cash flows to measure estimated fair value.

The long-lived asset impairment test uses significant assumptions, estimates and judgments, and is subject to inherent uncertainties and subjectivity. Estimating projected cash flows associated with our asset groups involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments with respect to numerous factors, including future sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expense rates, and cash flows. The use of different assumptions, estimates or judgments, such as the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, could significantly increase or decrease the related impairment test results.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Under goodwill accounting rules, we are required to assess goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The analysis of potential impairment of goodwill employs a two-step process. The first step involves the estimation of fair value of our reporting units. If step one indicates that impairment of goodwill potentially exists, the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Goodwill impairment exists when the estimated implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value.

41

We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2012, with no indication of potential impairment. Our test indicated that the estimated fair value of all reporting units other than TRC Military and TRC OEM discussed below, had excess fair values of no less than 16% of their carrying values as of December 31, 2012.

Our remaining two reporting units, with recorded goodwill of $20.5 million for TRC Military and $1.9 million for TRC OEM, reported within our Engineered Solutions segment, had excess fair values of 7% and 13% of their carrying values, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. The overall TRC business was acquired in 2011 in order to strengthen and diversify our overall portfolio. Since the acquisition 18 months ago, we have been assessing the progress of our new products and determining the appropriate time for introduction into the market, both of which may impact our short-term and long-term growth projections. Our assumptions reflect the anticipated growth in these businesses due to the introduction and improved results gained through these new products. We also considered the economic conditions of the end-markets are products reside in when assessing our growth assumptions.

TRC Military serves as a subcontractor to customers who sell directly to the U.S. military for defense related programs. We finished 2012 operating our business amongst a general uncertainty involving future U.S. military spending. In arriving at the fair value of this reporting unit, we considered the potential risks of not meeting forecasted results given the uncertainties surrounding additional U.S. government spending reductions in 2013. We are aware of the automatic spending reductions, generally referred to as “sequestration”, although we do not definitively know the full impact that these reductions will have on our business. Our products are used in specific niche end-markets supporting the U.S. military, and any meaningful reduction in spending by the government may impact our results of operations in 2013 and future years.

TRC OEM provides a variety of products serving end-markets for power management and protection solutions. The growth of this business is dependent upon the development of new products to accompany our existing product line. In arriving at the fair value of this reporting unit, we considered the timing and related impact of when we believe our new products will become available to our customers.

The goodwill impairment testing process involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments, and is subject to inherent uncertainties and subjectivity. Estimating a reporting unit’s projected cash flows involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments with respect to numerous factors, including future sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expense rates, capital expenditures, and cash flows. These estimates are based on our business plans and forecasts. These estimates are then discounted, which necessitates the selection of an appropriate discount rate. The discount rates used reflect market-based estimates of the risks associated with the projected cash flows of the reporting unit. The allocation of the estimated fair value of our reporting units to the estimated fair value of their net assets required under the second step of the goodwill impairment test also involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments, which are based on the best information available to management as of the date of the assessment.

The use of different assumptions, estimates, or judgments in the goodwill impairment testing process may significantly increase or decrease the estimated fair value of a reporting unit. As of the December 31, 2012 annual impairment test date, changes in the assumptions in excess of : 1) a 6% decrease in the estimated sales growth rate, without a change in the discount rate, for TRC Military and TRC OEM respectively, 2) an assumption that our long-term growth rate would decrease by 300 basis points, without a change in the discount rate, for TRC Military and TRC OEM reporting units or; 3) a 140 and 130 basis point increase in the discount rate for TRC Military and TRC OEM, without a change in sales projections, for both TRC Military and TRC OEM reporting units used to discount the aggregate estimate cash flows to its net present value in determining their estimated fair values could potentially result in a goodwill impairment charge.

Goodwill impairment charges may be recognized in future periods to the extent changes in factors or circumstances occur, including deterioration in the macro-economic environment or in the equity markets, including the market value of our common shares, deterioration in our performance or our future projections, or changes in our plans for one or more reporting units.

42

We test the carrying amount of our finite-lived intangible assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. This assessment employs a two-step approach. The first step is used to determine if a potential impairment exists while the second step measures the associated impairment loss (if any). An impairment loss is recognized if, in performing the impairment review, it is determined that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. The asset groups tested under our impairment tests reflect the shared nature of our facilities and manufacturing capacity. The second step of the impairment test involves measuring the amount of the impairment loss to be recorded. The amount of the impairment loss recorded is equal to the excess of the asset or asset group’s carrying value over its fair value. For 2012 and 2011, no asset impairments were identified relative to our long-lived property, plant and equipment or our finite-lived intangible assets, other than among assets held for sale. We recorded $0.3 million of asset impairment in 2010.

The long-lived asset impairment test uses significant assumptions, estimates and judgments, and is subject to inherent uncertainties and subjectivity. Estimating projected cash flows associated with our asset groups involved the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments with respect to numerous factors, including future sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expense rates, discount rates and cash flows.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates. A provision for income tax expense is recognized for income taxes payable for the current period, plus the net changes in deferred tax amounts adjusted for other comprehensive income. We periodically assess the realizability of deferred tax assets and the adequacy of deferred tax liabilities, including the results of local, state or federal tax audits.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28 — “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts” (“ASU No. 2010-28”)

ASU No. 2010-28 affects all entities that have recognized goodwill and have one or more reporting units whose carrying amount for purposes of performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is zero or negative. The amendments in this update modify Step 1 so that for those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with existing guidance, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The accounting update was effective for a reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after December 2010, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This update, which was effective for the first quarter of 2011, did not have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-29 — “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations” (“ASU No. 2010-29”)

ASU No. 2010-29 amends existing guidance for presenting pro forma results of business combinations. The amendments in this update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred

43

during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The accounting update was effective for a reporting entity’s business combinations occurring beginning on or after the entity’s first annual reporting period after December 15, 2010. The Company has applied the provisions of this update for all material business combinations that occurred after January 1, 2011.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 – “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU No. 2011-04”)

ASU No. 2011-04 generally provides a uniform framework for fair value measurements and related disclosures between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. This update, which was effective for the first quarter of 2012, did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosure requirements.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 – “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU No. 2011-05”)

ASU No. 2011-05 amends existing guidance by allowing only two options for presenting the components of net income and other comprehensive income: (1) in a single continuous financial statement, statement of comprehensive income or (2) in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of an income statement followed by a separate statement of other comprehensive income. Also, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2012. The Company has presented comprehensive income using two separate but consecutive financial statements for 2012.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU No. 2011-08”)

ASU No. 2011-08 amends existing guidance by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. This update, which was effective for the year ending December 31, 2012, did not impact our annual goodwill impairment assessment as the Company chose to follow quantitative guidelines and apply a Step 1 test.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 – “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU No. 2011-11”)

ASU No. 2011-11 amends existing guidance by enhancing disclosures required by U.S. GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 201-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting

44

arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. This information will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. ASU No. 2011-11 requires retrospective application, and it is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2011-11 and the clarifying amendments included in ASU 2013-01 will have on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04 – “Technical Corrections and Improvements” (“ASU No. 2012 -04”)

ASU No. 2012-04 contains amendments to clarify the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the ASC that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create significant administrative cost to most entities. Additionally, the amendments are intended to make the ASC easier to understand and the fair value measurement guidance easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing needed clarifications. The amendments that do not have transition guidance were effective upon issuance. The amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The amendments that were effective immediately and the adoption of amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02 – “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU No. 2013 -02”)

ASA No. 2013-02 requires entities to disclose additional information about reclassification adjustments, including (1) change in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and significant items reclassified out of AOCI. The new disclosure requirements do not amend any existing requirements for reporting net income or Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). An entity is required to disaggregate the total change of each component OCI and separately present (1) reclassification adjustments and (2) current-period OCI. Additionally, the amendments requires an entity to present information about significant items reclassified out of AOCI by component either (1) on the face of the statement where net income is presented of (2) as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The ASU does not change the current requirements for interim financial statement reporting or comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2013-02 will have on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our principal market risks are exposure to changes in commodity prices, primarily copper prices, interest rates on borrowings, and exchange rate risk relative to our operations in Canada.

Commodity Risk. Certain raw materials used in our products are subject to price volatility, most notably copper, which is the primary raw material used in our products. The price of copper is particularly volatile and can affect our net sales and profitability. We purchase copper at prevailing market prices and, through multiple pricing strategies, generally attempt to pass along to our customers changes in the price of copper and other raw materials. From time-to-time, we enter into derivative contracts, including copper futures contracts, to mitigate the potential impact of fluctuations in the price of copper on our pricing terms with certain customers. We do not speculate on copper prices. All of our copper futures contracts are tied to the COMEX copper market index and the value of our futures contracts varies directly with underlying changes in the related COMEX copper futures

45

prices. We record these derivative contracts at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet as either an asset or liability. At December 31, 2012, we had contracts with a net aggregate fair value of $0.1 million, consisting of contracts to sell 0.6 million pounds of copper in March 2013. A hypothetical adverse movement of 10% in the price of copper at December 31, 2012, with all other variables held constant, would have resulted in an aggregate loss in the fair value of our commodity futures contracts of approximately $0.2 million as of December 31, 2012.

Interest Rate Risk. We have exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our debt obligations. As of December 31, 2012, approximately 15% of our debt was variable rate, primarily our borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility for which interest costs are based on either the lenders’ prime rate or a LIBOR-based rate. Based on the amount of our variable rate borrowings at December 31, 2012, which totaled approximately $50.4 million, an immediate one percentage point change in LIBOR would change our annual interest expense by approximately $0.5 million. This estimate assumes that the amount of variable rate borrowings remains constant for an annual period and that the interest rate change occurs at the beginning of the period.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk. We have exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to our Canadian operations. Currently, we do not manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk using any financial or derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts or hedging activities. In 2012, we recorded an aggregate pre-tax loss of approximately $0.2 million related to exchange rate fluctuations between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Coleman Cable, Inc.

Waukegan, Illinois

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Coleman Cable, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included 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. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Thousands, except per share data)

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations, Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coleman Cable, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Coleman,” “we,” “us” or “our”). We are a manufacturer and supplier of electrical wire and cable products for consumer, commercial and industrial applications, with operations primarily in the United States and, to a lesser degree, in Honduras and Canada.

We operate our business through three reportable business segments: (1) Distribution, (2) Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”) and (3) Engineered Solutions. Our reportable segments are a function of how we are organized internally to market to customer groups and measure our financial performance. The distribution and OEM segments serve customers within the distribution, retail, and OEM businesses. Our Engineered Solutions segment, which includes the remainder of TRC’s (see Note 2) legacy business, primarily its military and specialty-vehicle business, and WE, which was acquired in 2012 (see Note 18).

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting 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 period. Estimates are required for several matters, including inventory valuation, determining the allowance for uncollectible accounts and accruals for sales returns, allowances and incentives, depreciation and amortization, accounting for business combinations, and the recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Summarized below is the activity for our accounts receivable allowance account:

	2012			2011			2010
Balance — January 1	$	2,811		$	2,491		$	2,565
Provisions		242			475			45
Write-offs and credit allowances, net of recovery		(8	)		(144	)		(137	)
Foreign currency translation adjustment		1			(11	)		18
Balance — December 31	$	3,046		$	2,811		$	2,491

Revenue Recognition

Our sales represent sales of our product inventory. We recognize sales when products are shipped to customers and the title and risk of loss pass to the customer in accordance with the terms of sale, pricing is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Billings for shipping and handling costs are recorded as sales and related costs are included in cost of goods sold. Provisions for payment discounts, product returns and customer incentives and allowances, which reduce revenue, are estimated based upon historical experience and other relevant factors and are recorded within the same period that the revenue is recognized as a reduction of sales.

F-8

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold is primarily comprised of direct materials, labor and overhead costs (including depreciation expense) consumed in the manufacturing of goods sold. Cost of goods sold also includes the cost of direct sourced merchandise sold, as well as our distribution costs, including the cost of inbound freight, internal transfers, warehousing and shipping and handling.

Advertising Expenses

We account for advertising expenditures as expense in the period incurred. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, advertising expenses were $3,131, $2,921 and $2,325, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of our Canadian subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars at fiscal year-end exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity. Income and expense items are translated at exchange rates prevailing throughout the year. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates their carrying amounts. All of our cash and cash equivalents qualify as Level 1 fair values under the fair value hierarchy.

Inventories

Inventories include material, labor and overhead costs and are recorded at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. We estimate losses for excess and obsolete inventory through an assessment of its net realizable value based on the aging of the inventory and an evaluation of the likelihood of recovering the inventory costs based on anticipated demand and selling price.

Assets Held for Sale

Assets held for sale consist primarily of property related to closed facilities that are currently being marketed for disposal. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost reduced by accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recognized over the assets’ estimated useful lives, ranging from 3 to 20 years, using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for tax reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives of buildings range from 9 to 20 years; leasehold improvements have a useful life equal to the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term; and the estimated useful lives of machinery, fixtures and equipment range from 3 to 8 years.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We are required to assess goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Our annual evaluation for potential goodwill impairment is performed as of December 31st of each year. Our other intangible assets primarily consist of acquired customer relationships and trademarks and trade names, all of which have finite or determinable useful lives. Accordingly,

F-9

these finite-lived assets are amortized to reflect the estimated pattern of economic benefit consumed, either on a straight-line or accelerated basis over the estimated periods benefited. See Note 3 for information regarding our asset impairment analyses.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We test the carrying amount of our long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if, in performing the impairment review, it is determined that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss recorded is equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. See Note 3 for information regarding our asset impairment analyses.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in our consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which we expect the differences to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period of the enactment date.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance stipulates the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. This guidance provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The rules also provide guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

We have not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties, or uncertain income tax positions at either December 31, 2012 or 2011. In accordance with this guidance, we have adopted a policy under which, if required to be recognized in the future, we will classify interest related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of interest expense and we will classify any related penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments, and Concentrations of Credit Risk

We are exposed to certain commodity price risks including fluctuations in the price of copper. From time-to-time, we enter into derivative contracts, including copper futures contracts, to mitigate the potential impact of fluctuations in the price of copper on our pricing terms with certain customers. All of the copper futures contracts we utilize are tied to the COMEX copper market index and the value of such contracts varies directly with underlying changes in the related COMEX copper futures prices. We recognize all of our derivative instruments on our balance sheet at fair value, and record changes in the fair value of such contracts within cost of goods sold in the statement of operations as they occur unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. For those hedging relationships that meet such criteria, and for which hedge accounting is applied, we formally document our hedge relationships, including identifying the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives involved. We have no open commodity hedge positions at December 31, 2012 or 2011 to which hedge accounting is being applied. However, all of our hedges for which hedge accounting has been applied in the past qualified and were designated as cash flow hedges. We assess both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in these cash flow hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows associated with the hedged item. The effective portion of the related gains or losses on

F-10

these derivative instruments are recorded in shareholders’ equity as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”), and are subsequently recognized in income or expense in the period in which the related hedged items are recognized. The ineffective portion of these hedges (extent to which a change in the value of the derivative contract does not perfectly offset the change in value of the designated hedged item) is immediately recognized in cost of goods sold. We calculate the fair value of our copper contracts quarterly based on the quoted market price for the same or similar financial instruments. Our derivatives have been determined to be Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy due to available market prices. As our derivatives are part of a legally enforceable master netting arrangement, for purposes of presentation within our consolidated balance sheets, gross values are netted and classified within prepaid expenses and other current assets or accrued liabilities depending upon our aggregate net position at the balance sheet date. Cash settlements related to derivatives are included in the operating section of the consolidated statement of cash flows, with prepaid expenses and other current assets or accrued liabilities, depending on the position. The Company’s derivatives are disclosed in Note 10.

Financial instruments also include other working capital items and debt. The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable approximate fair value given the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Company’s debt is disclosed in Note 7.

Concentrations of credit risk arising from trade accounts receivable are due to selling to a number of customers in a particular industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ and counterparties’ financial condition and obtains collateral or other security when appropriate. No customer accounted for more than 10% of sales or accounts receivable as of December 31, 2012, 2011, or 2010.

Cash and cash equivalents are placed with financial institutions, which we believe to have adequate credit standings.

Self-Insurance

We are partially self-insured for health benefit costs for covered individuals at a majority of our facilities. The accrual for our self-insurance liability is determined by management and is based on claims filed and an estimate of actual claims incurred but not yet reported.

Stock-based Compensation

We recognize compensation expense over the related vesting period for each share-based award we grant, based on the fair value of the instrument at grant date for those awards to be settled in stock, and based on the fair value of the instrument at the balance sheet date for those awards to be settled in cash. Our stock-based compensation arrangements are further detailed in Note 12.

Earnings per Common Share

We compute earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Our participating securities are our grants of service-condition unvested common shares, as such awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. Security holders are not obligated to fund any losses, and therefore participating securities are not allocated a portion of any net loss in any period for which a net loss is recorded. Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of unexercised stock options and the effect of unvested common shares when dilutive.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28 — “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts” (“ASU No. 2010-28”)

ASU No. 2010-28 affects all entities that have recognized goodwill and have one or more reporting units whose carrying amount for purposes of performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is zero or negative. The amendments in this update modify Step 1 so that for those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with existing guidance, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The accounting update was effective for a reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after December 2010, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This update, which was effective for the first quarter of 2011, did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-29 — “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations” (“ASU No. 2010-29”)

ASU No. 2010-29 amends existing guidance for presenting pro forma results of business combinations. The amendments in this update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The accounting update was effective for a reporting entity’s business combinations occurring beginning on or after the entity’s first annual reporting period after December 15, 2010. The Company has applied the provisions of this update for all material business combinations that occurred after January 1, 2011.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 – “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU No. 2011-04”)

ASU No. 2011-04 generally provides a uniform framework for fair value measurements and related disclosures between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. This update, which was effective for the first quarter of 2012, did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosure requirements.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 – “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU No. 2011-05”)

ASU No. 2011-05 amends existing guidance by allowing only two options for presenting the components of net income and other comprehensive income: (1) in a single continuous financial statement, statement of comprehensive income or (2) in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of an income

F-12

statement followed by a separate statement of other comprehensive income. Also, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2012. The Company has presented comprehensive income using two separate but consecutive financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU No. 2011-08”)

ASU No. 2011-08 amends existing guidance by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. This update, which was effective for the year ending December 31, 2012, did not impact our annual goodwill impairment assessment as the Company chose to follow quantitative guidelines and apply a Step 1 test.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 – “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU No. 2011-11”)

ASU No. 2011-11 amends existing guidance by enhancing disclosures required by U.S. GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 201-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. This information will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. ASU No. 2011-11 requires retrospective application, and it is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2011-11 and the clarifying amendments included in ASU 2013-01 will have on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04 – “Technical Corrections and Improvements” (“ASU No. 2012 -04”)

ASU No. 2012-04 contains amendments to clarify the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the ASC that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create significant administrative cost to most entities. Additionally, the amendments are intended to make the ASC easier to understand and the fair value measurement guidance easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing needed clarifications. The amendments that do not have transition guidance were effective upon issuance. The amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The amendments that were effective immediately and the adoption of amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02 – “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU No. 2013 -02”)

ASA No. 2013-02 requires entities to disclose additional information about reclassification adjustments, including (1) change in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and significant items reclassified out of AOCI. The new disclosure requirements do not amend any existing requirements for reporting net income

F-13

or Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). An entity is required to disaggregate the total change of each component OCI and separately present (1) reclassification adjustments and (2) current-period OCI. Additionally, the amendments requires an entity to present information about significant items reclassified out of AOCI by component either (1) on the face of the statement where net income is presented of (2) as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The ASU does not change the current requirements for interim financial statement reporting or comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2013-02 will have on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

2.  ACQUISITIONS

2012 Acquisition – Watteredge (“WE”)

On May 31, 2012, Coleman, through a 100%-owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition of most of the operating assets (and assumed certain liabilities) of Watteredge, Inc., (“WE”) an Ohio corporation that designs, manufactures and sells secondary power connectors, including electric arc furnace cables, resistance welding cables, industrial high-performance copper bus and accessories, and other high performance power conduction devices and accessories. WE serves the steel, chemical, chlorine, power generation, fiberglass and automotive industries and sells its products and services worldwide. Coleman retained WE’s workforce and has continued all of WE’s production at its current manufacturing plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. We believe the acquisition of WE strengthens and provides for greater diversification of our overall portfolio.

The acquisition of the assets of WE, whose sales were nearly $25,000 for 2011, was structured as an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $33,922 (equal to a $35,000 preliminary purchase price adjusted by a $1,078 working capital adjustment). The transaction was funded with proceeds from Coleman’s existing credit facility. WE has been included as a component of our Engineered Solutions segment reported herein.

2011 Acquisitions

During the second quarter of 2011, we utilized cash on hand, as well as borrowings under our credit facility, to complete three business combinations (collectively, the “2011 Acquisitions”), as set forth below. Each of these 2011 Acquisitions was structured as cash transactions, with aggregate consideration totaling $69,733. As discussed below, $2,331 of the TRC consideration consisted of our previously existing ownership interest. We believe these acquisitions represent significant opportunities for us, including the strengthening and greater diversification of our overall portfolio.

The 2011 Acquisitions are included in our consolidated financial statements, including our results of operations, beginning from each respective acquisition date. Accordingly, the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes nine months of operations for the assets acquired in connection with the DE (as defined below) acquisition, approximately eight months of operations for the assets acquired in connection with FCWC and CWC (as defined below) acquisition, and approximately seven and one half months of operations related to the TRC (as defined below) acquisition. The consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2010 does not include the impact of the 2011 Acquisitions.

We incurred acquisition-related costs, including outside legal, consulting and other fees of $2,821 for the year ended December 31, 2011. These costs have been recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated income statement.

Acquisition of the Assets of The Designers Edge (“DE”)

On April 1, 2011, we acquired certain assets of DE, a leading designer and distributor of specialty lighting products in the U.S. and Canada, with 2010 sales in excess of $20,000. The total purchase price for the assets

F-14

acquired, primarily trade receivables and merchandise inventories, was $10,925, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. The acquisition of DE’s assets significantly expands our market position across a wide range of lighting product categories, including industrial, work and utility, as well as products for security and landscape applications. We fully integrated the acquired assets of DE into our existing Distribution segment during the second quarter of 2011.

Acquisition of the Assets of First Capitol Wire and Cable (“FCWC”) and Continental Wire and Cable (“CWC”)

On April 29, 2011, we acquired the assets of FCWC and CWC, both of which were privately-held entities based in York, Pennsylvania, with CWC being a 100%-owned subsidiary of FCWC. These two entities, which had annual combined sales in excess of $10,000, are leading manufacturers of industrial wire and cable products used across a number of commercial, utility and industrial end-markets. The total purchase price for the assets acquired, primarily merchandise inventories and production equipment, was $7,298, inclusive of working capital adjustments of $834. The acquisition of the assets of FCWC and CWC has allowed us to expand our capabilities, product offerings and capacity for producing a wide assortment of high-quality industrial cables. We fully integrated the assets of FCWC and CWC into our Distribution segment during the second quarter of 2011.

Acquisition of Technology Research Corporation (“TRC”)

On May 16, 2011, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of TRC pursuant to a merger agreement under which each outstanding share of TRC common stock was converted into the right to receive $7.20 per share payable in cash. For its fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, TRC had revenues of $35,982 and net income of $1,545. TRC is a recognized leader in providing cost effective engineered solutions for applications involving power management and control, intelligent battery systems technology and electrical safety products based on proven ground fault sensing and Fire Shield ^® technology. These products are designed, manufactured and distributed to the consumer, commercial and industrial markets worldwide. TRC also supplies power monitors and control equipment to the United States military and its prime contractors. We believe the TRC acquisition both strengthens and diversifies our overall portfolio. TRC was publicly traded on the NASDAQ prior to its acquisition by Coleman. We completed the TRC acquisition as the result of a successful public tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of TRC. The total purchase price consideration for TRC was $51,510, including the acquisition-date fair value of an approximate 4.8% interest in TRC’s common stock acquired by Coleman prior to submitting its acquisition proposal for TRC.

We integrated a portion of TRC’s legacy business into our Distribution segment during 2011. The remainder of TRC’s legacy business, primarily its military and specialty vehicle business, has not yet been integrated into our two historic reportable segments, and comprises the Engineered Solutions segment reported herein. For the post-acquisition period ended December 31, 2011, TRC had sales and a net loss of $20,602 and $(561), respectively.

As noted above, our pre-existing 4.8% interest in TRC was accounted for as a component of the overall purchase price for TRC. Accordingly, using the tender offer price of $7.20 per share, the value of this component of total consideration was $2,331, with the difference between this calculated fair value and our cost basis in the 4.8% pre-existing interest recognized as a $753 gain in our condensed consolidated statement of income at the time of the acquisition in accordance with the applicable accounting rules.

Each of the above acquisitions has been included in our consolidated financial statements, including our results of operations, beginning from each respective acquisition date. Accordingly, the consolidated statements of income for 2012 includes the full impact of operations for the assets acquired in connection with the 2011 Acquisitions, but only seven months of results for WE.

We incurred acquisition-related costs, including outside legal, consulting and other fees, of $443 for 2012 and $2,821 for 2011. These costs have been recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income.

F-15

Purchase Price Allocations

Each of the above acquisitions was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, we have allocated the purchase price for each acquisition to the net assets acquired based on the related estimated fair values at each respective acquisition date. The expected long-term growth, increased market position and expected synergies to be generated from the acquisitions are the primary factors which gave rise to acquisition prices for each of the acquisitions, which resulted in the recognition of goodwill.

The purchase price allocations for TRC, FCWC and CWC were finalized in 2011. At the end of the first quarter of 2012, we finalized our purchase accounting for DE as certain purchase price and other matters relative to this acquisition were resolved. As a result, the total purchase price was lowered by $833, with a corresponding reduction in the goodwill recorded with respect to this acquisition. The purchase price allocation for WE was finalized during the third quarter of 2012 which resulted in an additional $248 in purchase price with a corresponding increase recorded to goodwill during the third quarter of 2012.

The table below summarizes the final allocations of purchase price related to the 2011 Acquisitions and Watteredge.

	2011 Acquisitions								2012
	DE		FCWC and CWC			TRC			WE
Cash and cash equivalents	$	—	$	—		$	8,180		$	—

Net assets acquired	$	10,092	$	7,298		$	51,510		$	33,922

A total of approximately $16,900 of goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes of which $11,348 is attributable to WE. All of the goodwill of DE, FCWC, and CWC has been assigned to our Distribution segment. TRC goodwill has been allocated between our Distribution and Engineered Solutions segments. WE goodwill has been allocated to our Engineered Solutions segment.

As part of the TRC acquisition, we assumed a contingent liability of TRC related to an acquisition made by TRC in March 2010. Under the terms of the March 2010 acquisition, TRC, as acquirer, is obligated to make contingent cash payments, or an earn-out payment, to the seller equal to a pre-determined percentage of total revenues within selected product categories that exceed a pre-determined threshold level for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2012. We initially included an accrual of $378, which represented our best estimate of TRC’s obligation under the terms of this earn-out at the date of acquisition, in our preliminary purchase price allocation for TRC, and classified this accrual as a component of current liabilities. During the fourth quarter of 2011, we adjusted this same accrual to $0, with the corresponding offset recorded in other income, based on our revised estimate of our liability relative to this earn-out.

F-16

The purchase price allocation to identifiable intangible assets, which are all amortizable, along with their respective weighted-average amortization periods at the acquisition date are as follows:

			2011 Acquisitions						2012

3.  GOODWILL, INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS

Goodwill

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable business segment were as follows:

	Distribution Segment			OEM Segment			Engineered Solutions Segment			Total
Gross balances	$	98,499		$	11,725		$	—		$	110,224
Impairment losses		(69,498	)		(11,725	)		—			(81,223	)
Foreign currency translation adjustment		133			—			—			133
Balance as of January 1, 2011	$	29,134		$	—		$	—		$	29,134
Acquisitions		5,040			—			22,580			27,620
Foreign currency translation adjustments		(30	)		—			—			(30	)
Balance as of December 31, 2011	$	34,144		$	—		$	22,580		$	56,724
Acquisitions		—			—			10,742		$	10,742
Foreign currency translation adjustments		37			—			—			37
Purchase Accounting Adjustments		(833	)		—			(135	)		(968	)
Balance as of December 31, 2012	$	33,348		$	—		$	33,187		$	66,535

Under goodwill accounting rules, we are required to assess goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The analysis of potential impairment of goodwill employs a two-step process. The first step involves the estimation of fair value of our reporting units. If step one indicates that impairment of goodwill potentially exists, the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Goodwill impairment exists when the estimated implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2012, with no indication of potential impairment. Our test indicated that the estimated fair value of all reporting units other than TRC Military and TRC OEM discussed below, had excess fair values of no less than 16% of their carrying values as of December 31, 2012.

Our remaining two reporting units, with recorded goodwill of $20,518 for TRC Military and $1,925 for TRC OEM, reported within our Engineered Solutions segment, had excess fair values of 7% and 13% of their carrying values, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. The overall TRC business was acquired in 2011 in order to strengthen and diversify our overall portfolio. Since the acquisition 18 months ago, we have been assessing the progress of our new products and determining the appropriate time for introduction into the market, both of which may impact our short-term and long-term growth projections. Our assumptions reflect the anticipated growth in these businesses due to the introduction and improved results gained through these new products. We also considered the economic conditions of the end-markets are products reside in when assessing our growth assumptions.

TRC Military serves as a subcontractor to customers who sell directly to the U.S. military for defense related programs. We finished 2012 operating our business amongst a general uncertainty involving future U.S. military spending. In arriving at the fair value of this reporting unit, we considered the potential risks of not meeting forecasted results given the uncertainties surrounding additional U.S. government spending reductions in 2013. We are preparing for the automatic spending reductions, generally referred to as “sequestration”, although we do not definitively know the full impact that these reductions will have on our business. Our products are used in specific niche end-markets supporting the U.S. military, and any meaningful reduction in spending by the government may impact our results of operations in 2013 and future years.

F-18

TRC OEM provides a variety of products serving end-markets for power management and protection solutions. The growth of this business is dependent upon the development of new products to accompany our existing product line. In arriving at the fair value of this reporting unit, we considered the timing and related impact of when we believe our new products will become available to our customers.

The goodwill impairment testing process involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments, and is subject to inherent uncertainties and subjectivity. Estimating a reporting unit’s projected cash flows involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments with respect to numerous factors, including future sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expense rates, capital expenditures, and cash flows. These estimates are based on our business plans and forecasts. These estimates are then discounted, which necessitates the selection of an appropriate discount rate. The discount rates used reflect market-based estimates of the risks associated with the projected cash flows of the reporting unit. The allocation of the estimated fair value of our reporting units to the estimated fair value of their net assets required under the second step of the goodwill impairment test also involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments, which are based on the best information available to management as of the date of the assessment.

The use of different assumptions, estimates, or judgments in the goodwill impairment testing process may significantly increase or decrease the estimated fair value of a reporting unit. As of the December 31, 2012 annual impairment test date, changes in the assumptions in excess of : 1) a 6% decrease in the estimated sales growth rate, without a change in the discount rate, for TRC Military and TRC OEM respectively, 2) an assumption that our long-term growth rate would decrease by 300 basis points, without a change in the discount rate, for TRC Military and TRC OEM reporting units or; 3) a 140 and 130 basis point increase in the discount rate for TRC Military and TRC OEM, without a change in sales projections for TRC Military and TRC OEM reporting units used to discount the aggregate estimate cash flows to its net present value in determining their estimated fair values could potentially result in a goodwill impairment charge.

Goodwill impairment charges may be recognized in future periods to the extent changes in factors or circumstances occur, including deterioration in the macro-economic environment or in the equity markets, including the market value of our common shares, deterioration in our performance or our future projections, or changes in our plans for one or more reporting units.

We test the carrying amount of our finite-lived intangible assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. This assessment employs a two-step approach. The first step is used to determine if a potential impairment exists while the second step measures the associated impairment loss (if any). An impairment loss is recognized if, in performing the impairment review, it is determined that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. The asset groups tested under our impairment tests reflect the shared nature of our facilities and manufacturing capacity. The second step of the impairment test involves measuring the amount of the impairment loss to be recorded. The amount of the impairment loss recorded is equal to the excess of the asset or asset group’s carrying value over its fair value. For 2012 and 2011, no asset impairments were identified relative to our long-lived property, plant and equipment or our finite-lived intangible assets, other than among assets held for sale. We recorded $324 of asset impairment in 2010.

The long-lived asset impairment test uses significant assumptions, estimates and judgments, and is subject to inherent uncertainties and subjectivity. Estimating projected cash flows associated with our asset groups involved the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments with respect to numerous factors, including future sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expense rates, discount rates and cash flows.

Intangible Assets

The following summarizes our intangible assets at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively:

	2012							2011
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount
Backlog	$	790	$	(696	)	$	94	$	340	$	(340	)	$	—
Customer relationships		68,462		(49,417	)		19,045		59,454		(44,179	)		15,275
Contractual Agreements		2,900		(1,269	)		1,631		2,900		(773	)		2,127
Developed Technology		3,530		(1,078	)		2,452		2,560		(550	)		2,010
Non-competition agreements		1,125		(1,073	)		52		1,125		(1,019	)		106
Trademarks and trade names		17,602		(3,507	)		14,095		11,010		(2,240	)		8,770

Total	$	94,468	$	(57,051	)	$	37,417	$	77,446	$	(49,106	)	$	28,340

Our intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. The customer-relationship, contractual agreements, trademarks and trade names, and developed technology intangibles are being amortized using an accelerated amortization method which reflects our estimate of the pattern in which the economic benefit derived from such assets will be consumed. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $7,945 and $7,025 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Expected amortization expense for intangible assets over the next five years is as follows:

2013	$	8,112
2014		6,600
2015		5,259
2016		3,573
2017		2,375

Asset Impairments

In 2010, we recorded $324 of asset impairment charges in relation to certain of our closed properties currently being marketed for sale, with such impairments reflecting a decline in the estimated fair value of such properties.

4.  RESTRUCTURING AND INTEGRATION ACTIVITIES

We recorded $1,615 in restructuring costs in 2012, including most notably, $1,007 related to equipment moving and other close-related costs and $286 for severance incurred in connection with the closure of our manufacturing facility in Texarkana, Arkansas. The remaining $322 represents holding costs related to facilities closed in prior years. As planned, we ceased all production at this facility in July 2012 and operations of this facility have been moved to other existing manufacturing facilities.

We incurred restructuring charges of $1,953 during both 2011 and 2010. Most notably, during the third quarter of 2011, we recorded $857 in severance costs for positions eliminated in connection with our realignment of our Canadian distribution and support operations. As part of this realignment, at the end of the fourth quarter of 2011, we vacated our then Toronto-based distribution facility, with a majority of our Canadian distribution being transitioned to our existing distribution facility in Wisconsin and a new, smaller Toronto-based distribution facility. In addition to the $857 in severance recorded in 2011, we also recorded $438 in connection with vacating and terminating the lease associated with the closed Toronto facility. Restructuring costs for both 2011 and 2010 also included lease termination and other holding costs related to facilities closed in prior years, consisting of one leased and one owned facility for which we continue to pay holding costs.

F-20

Our restructuring reserve was $1,245 and $3,139 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, recorded within accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. The 2011 balance is comprised, in part, of the remaining $815 severance accrual primarily related to our Canadian re-alignment. The balance in the reserve for both 2012 and 2011 represents our estimate of the remaining liability existing relative to three closed properties under lease and which is equal to our remaining obligation under such lease reduced by estimated sublease rental income reasonably expected for the property. Accordingly, the liability may be increased or decreased in future periods as facts and circumstances change, including possible negotiation of a lease termination, sublease agreement, or changes in the related market in which the property is located.

Restructuring expense is not segregated by reportable segment as our operating segments share common production processes and manufacturing facilities, as discussed in Note 18 below.

The following table summarizes restructuring activities:

	Lease Holding Costs			Severance  & Other Closing Costs			Total
Restructuring Activities

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

We have a $250,000, five-year revolving credit facility agreement, with an accordion feature that allows us to increase our borrowings by an additional $50,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility, which expires on October 1, 2016, is an asset-based loan facility, with a $20,000 Canadian facility sublimit, and which is secured by substantially all of our assets, as further detailed below. We incurred $1,500 in fees and direct costs related to negotiating the Revolving Credit Facility in 2011. These respective fees and costs are being amortized over the life of the revolver. At December 31, 2012, we had $50,430 in borrowings under the facility, with $131,635 in remaining excess availability. At December 31, 2011, we had $30,000 in borrowings under the credit facility, with $120,288 in remaining excess availability. The $50,430 in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility approximates fair value of such debt at December 31, 2012 (Level 2).

The interest rate charged on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on our election of either the base rate (greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and the lender’s prime rate) plus a range of 0.25% to 0.75% or the Eurodollar rate plus a range of 1.50% to 2.00%, in each case based on quarterly average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, we pay an unused line fee of between 0.25% and 0.50% based on quarterly average excess availability pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 for any month during which our excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below $30,000. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of (1) $250,000 or (2) the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, 70% of eligible inventory, with a maximum amount of borrowing-base availability which may be generated from inventory of $150,000 for the U.S. portion and $12,000 Canadian for the Canadian portion, and an advance rate to be 75% of certain appraised real estate and 85% of certain appraised equipment and capped at $62,500, with a $15,000 sublimit for letters of credit.

The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by CCI International Inc. (“CCI International”), TRC (excluding TRC’s 100%-owned foreign subsidiary, TRC Honduras, S.A. de C.V.), Patco Electronics (“Patco”), and WE, each of which are 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries, and is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of each of CCI International, TRC, Patco, and WE, including accounts receivable, inventory and any other tangible and intangible assets (including real estate, machinery and equipment and intellectual property) as well as by a pledge of all the capital stock of CCI International, TRC, Patco and WE and 65% of the capital stock of our Canadian foreign subsidiary, but not our Chinese 100%-owned entity.

Our effective interest rate for borrowings made under the Revolving Credit Facility was 2.2% in 2012, as compared to 3.07 % in 2011, reflective of higher borrowings at the prime rate.

As of December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Revolving Credit Facility.

F-22

9% Senior Notes due 2018 (“Senior Notes”)

Our Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2018 and have an aggregate principal amount of $275,000 and a 9% coupon rate. Interest payments are due on February 15^th and August 15^th.

The Indenture relating to our Senior Notes contains customary covenants that limit us and our restricted subsidiaries with respect to, among other things, incurring additional indebtedness, making restricted payments, creating liens, paying dividends, consolidating, merging or selling substantially all of their assets, entering into sale and leaseback transactions, and entering into transaction with affiliates. Additionally, all our domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee the Revolving Credit Facility are required under the Indenture to guarantee our obligations under the Senior Notes. Following the acquisitions of TRC, Patco, and WE each became a guarantor subsidiary of our Revolving Credit Facility, and the 2018 Senior Notes.

Our Senior Notes were issued at a discount in 2010, resulting in proceeds of less than par value. This discount is being amortized to par value over the remaining term of the Senior Notes. As of December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Senior Notes.

Senior Notes	December 31, 2012
Face Value	$275,000
Fair Value (Level 1)	$297,687
Interest Rate	9%
Interest Payment	Semi-Annually February 15th and August 15th

Unamortized premium on long-term debt		(2,286	)
Total debt	$	323,839

F-23

Our Indenture governing the Senior Notes and Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants that limit our ability to pay dividends.

Debt Issue Costs

We have incurred debt issuance costs in connection with our Senior Note issuances and our Revolving Credit Facility, including amendment fees related to the Revolving Credit Facility. These fees are being amortized over the remaining term of the Senior Notes and Revolving Credit Facility, respectively. Amortization of debt issuance costs was $1,677, $1,510 and $1,766 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

8.  INCOME TAXES

Our income before income taxes includes the following components:

	2012		2011		2010
Income before income taxes
U.S	$	30,720	$	21,822	$	1,341
Foreign		4,893		3,601		3,869
Total income before taxes	$	35,613	$	25,423	$	5,210

The provision for income tax expense (benefit) consists of the following:

	2012			2011		2010
Current tax expense	$	12,979		$	6,380	$	2,397
Deferred income tax expense (benefit)		(870	)		1,602		(914	)
Total income tax expense	$	12,109		$	7,982	$	1,483

Our current tax expense for 2012 consisted of U.S. and foreign current tax amounts of $12,125 and $854, respectively, and our deferred tax benefit for 2012 consisted of U.S. and foreign deferred tax amounts of $(730), and $(140), respectively.

Our current tax expense for 2011 consisted of US and foreign current tax amounts of $5,736 and $644, respectively, and our deferred tax expense for 2011 consisted of US and foreign deferred tax amounts of $1,495 and $107, respectively.

Our current tax expense for 2010 consisted of US and foreign current tax amounts of $1,335 and $1,062, respectively, and our deferred tax expense benefit for 2010 consisted of US and foreign deferred tax amounts of $(1,029) and $115, respectively.

Our deferred taxes result primarily from the tax effect of differences between the financial and tax basis of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax laws. Valuation allowances, if necessary, are provided against deferred tax assets that are not likely to be realized. We believe our deferred tax assets will be fully utilized based on projections for future earnings and tax planning strategies. Additionally, we believe our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained and, thus, we have not recorded any reserves related to our deferred tax assets, or related accruals for interest and penalties, or uncertain income tax positions under the accounting guidance at either December 31, 2012 or 2011.

F-24

Significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

	2012			2011
Deferred tax assets:
Reserves not deducted for tax:
Allowances for uncollectible accounts	$	627		$	577
Legal reserves		130			133
Inventories		2,923			2,013
Employee benefits		677			773
Tax credits		72			442
Stock-based compensation		5,004			5,018
Other		1,607			1,386
Deferred tax liabilities:
Depreciation and amortization		(11,506	)		(11,829	)
Other		(1,621	)		(1,285	)
Net deferred tax asset (liability)	$	(2,087	)	$	(2,772	)

The reconciliation between income tax amounts at the statutory tax rate to income tax expense recorded on our consolidated income statement is as follows:

	2012			2011			2010
Income taxes at federal statutory rate	$	12,465		$	8,899		$	1,824
Increase (decrease) in income taxes resulting from:
State tax benefit (net of federal tax effect)		1,287			1,010			81
Foreign tax rate differential		(899	)		(509	)		—
Section 199 deduction		(580	)		(492	)		(179	)
Tax credit		—			(451	)		(309	)
Other		(164	)		(475	)		66
Income taxes	$	12,109		$	7,982		$	1,483

We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions. We provide for U.S. deferred taxes and foreign withholding tax on undistributed earnings not considered permanently reinvested in our Canadian subsidiary. We do not provide for deferred taxes on the excess of the financial reporting basis over the tax basis in our investment in our Honduran subsidiary, which totaled $10,386 and $7,816 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, as we consider this investment permanent in duration. Accordingly, the corresponding estimate of additional deferred taxes related thereto that have not been provided for as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 is approximately $3,635 and $2,735, respectively. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had $2,266 and $1,542, respectively, in cash held in Honduras. If transferred, the Company would have to accrue and pay taxes on the amount repatriated. The Company does not currently intend to repatriate any of the funds held in Honduras.

Our state and foreign income tax returns for the tax years 2005 and later remain subject to examination by various state and foreign taxing authorities. The Internal Revenue Service has completed reviews of our federal income tax returns through 2009. We are currently under examination by the Canada Revenue Agency for tax years 2006 and 2007.

9.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Capital and Operating Leases

We lease certain of our buildings, machinery and equipment under lease agreements that expire at various dates over the next ten years. Rental expense under operating leases was $5,256, $6,308 and $5,910 for 2012, 2011 and

F-25

2010, respectively. Minimum future lease payments under capital and operating leases, with non-cancelable initial lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2012, were as follows:

	Capital Leases		Operating Leases
2013	$	185	$	4,856
2014		183		4,252
2015		183		3,697
2016		167		3,062
2017		1		2,220
After 2017		—		2,604
Total	$	719	$	20,691
Less: Amounts representing interest		26
Present value of future minimum lease payments		695
Less: Current obligations under capital leases		174
Long-term obligations under capital leases	$	521

We record our obligation under capital leases within debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (see Note 7). The gross amount of assets recorded under capital leases as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1,755 and $1,729, respectively. Accumulated depreciation was $1,062 and $881 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We depreciate these assets over the shorter of their related lease terms or estimated useful lives.

Legal Matters

We are party to one environmental claim. The Leonard Chemical Company Superfund site consists of approximately 7.1 acres of land in an industrial area located a half mile east of Catawba, York County, South Carolina. The Leonard Chemical Company operated this site until the early 1980s for recycling of waste solvents. These operations resulted in the contamination of soils and groundwater at the site with hazardous substances. In 1984, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) listed this site on the National Priorities List. Riblet Products Corporation, with which the Company merged in 2000, was identified through documents as a company that sent solvents to the site for recycling and was one of the companies receiving a special notice letter from the EPA identifying it as a party potentially liable under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”).

In 2004, along with other “potentially responsible parties” (“PRPs”), we entered into a joint and several Consent Decree with the EPA requiring the performance of a remedial design and remedial action (“RD/RA”) for this site. We have entered into a Site Participation Agreement with the other PRPs for fulfillment of the requirements of the Consent Decree. Under the Site Participation Agreement, we are responsible for 9.19% share of the costs for the RD/RA. As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had a $331 and $341 accrual, respectively, recorded for this liability.

We recently received a civil complaint for $2,300 plus attorney’s fees and expenses related to a recent acquisition. We believe the civil complaint lacks merit and is not payable by us. We have not provided for this claim in accordance with ASC 450 as we do not believe an unfavorable outcome is probable and estimable at this time.

Although no assurances are possible, we believe that our accruals related to the environmental litigation and other claims are sufficient and that these items and our rights to available insurance and indemnities will be resolved without material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

F-26

10.  DERIVATIVES

We are exposed to certain commodity price risks including fluctuations in the price of copper. From time-to-time, we enter into copper futures contracts to mitigate the potential impact of fluctuations in the price of copper on our pricing terms with certain customers. We recognize all of our derivative instruments on our balance sheet at fair value, and record changes in the fair value of such contracts within cost of goods sold in the statement of operations as they occur unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. We had no hedge positions at December 31, 2012 to which hedge accounting was applied. Cash settlements related to derivatives are included in the operating section of the consolidated statement of cash flows.

As our derivatives are part of a legally enforceable master netting agreement, for purposes of presentation within our consolidated balance sheets, gross values are netted and classified within Prepaid expenses and other current assets or Accrued liabilities depending upon our aggregate net position at the balance sheet date.

Commodity Derivatives	Contract Position (In Total Pounds)						Fair Value
	Long		Short		Cash Collateral Posted		Asset		Liability
Copper futures contracts outstanding as of (1):
Period ended December 31, 2012		—		625	$	193	$	—	$	66
Period ended December 31, 2011		450		625	$	113	$	—	$	5

(1) All of our copper futures contracts mature in less than three months and are tied to the price of copper on the COMEX and, accordingly, the value of such futures contracts changes directly in relation thereto.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, no cumulative losses or gains existed in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). As hedge accounting has not been applied to any of our open hedges at December 31, 2012, no associated losses or gains have been recorded within OCI.

Derivatives Not Accounted for as Hedges Under the Accounting Rules	Gain (Loss) Recognized in Income			Location of  Gain(Loss) Recognized in Income
Copper commodity contracts:
Year Ended December 31, 2012	$	(99	)		Cost of goods sold
Year Ended December 31, 2011	$	572			Cost of goods sold
Year Ended December 31, 2010	$	(1,264	)		Cost of goods sold

11.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Our participating securities are our grants of time-based vesting restricted stock, as such awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. Security holders are not obligated to fund the Company’s losses, and therefore, participating securities are not allocated a portion of these losses in periods where a net loss is recorded. As of December 31, 2012, there were 176 shares of time-based vesting restricted stock outstanding.

F-27

For the respective years ended December 31, the impact of participating securities on net income allocated to common shareholders and the dilutive effect of share-based awards outstanding on weighted average shares outstanding was as follows:

To the extent stock options and awards are anti-dilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Awards with respect to 771, 771 and 1,121 common shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive.

12.  SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan for its directors, executives and certain key employees under which the grant of stock options and other share-based awards is authorized. In April 2008, an amended and restated plan was approved by shareholders that, among other things, added stock appreciation rights, restricted or unvested stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and incentive performance bonuses as available awards under the plan. In April 2011, this existing plan was amended to, among other things, expand the number of awards that may be issued, equal to 2,940 shares of stock. Total stock-based compensation expense was $1,235, $3,173 and $2,575 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, there was $300, $763 and $2,076, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements that we expect will vest and be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.69, 1.28, and 1.8 years.

Stock Options

No stock options were issued in 2012 or 2011.

In 2010, we granted 150 stock options which have a ten-year life and vest over a four-year period in three equal installments beginning two years from the date of grant. We utilize the fair value method in accounting for stock-compensation expense, estimating the fair value of options granted under our plan at each related grant date using

F-28

a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Historically, we have determined the value of all stock options using the simplified method, as prescribed in the accounting guidance, due to our lack of sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term and due to the limited period of time our equity shares have been publicly traded.

The following table sets forth information about the weighted-average fair value of options granted during 2010 utilizing the simplified method, and the weighted-average assumptions used for such grants:

	2010
Fair value of options at grant date (per share)	$	3.30
Dividend yield		0	%
Expected volatility		88.5	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.70	%
Expected term of options		6 years

Changes in stock options for 2012 were as follows:

	Shares			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Terms		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding on January 1, 2012		1,391		$	11.07		5.8	$	2,012
Granted		—			—		—		—
Exercised		(3	)		8.45		—		11
Forfeited or expired		—			—		—
Outstanding on December 31, 2012		1,388		$	11.09		4.8	$	2,352
At December 31, 2012:
Vested or expected to vest		1,372		$	11.17		4.8		2,271
Exercisable		517			5.66		5.8		1,803

In 2011 there were 15 stock option exercises with an intrinsic value of $45. There were no stock option exercises in 2010. Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the current market value of the Company’s common stock and the exercise price of the stock option. When the current market value is less than the exercise price, there is no aggregate intrinsic value. We have no policy or plan to repurchase common shares to mitigate the dilutive impact of options.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had 1,374 and 1,372 vested stock options with an aggregate intrinsic value of $1,941 and $860, respectively.

Additional information regarding options outstanding as of December 31, 2012 is as follows:

Range of Exercise Prices	Options Outstanding		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Terms
$0-$10		617	$	5.46		6.02
$10-$20		716	$	14.97		3.79
$20-$25		55	$	23.62		4.36

Stock Awards

In January 2012, the Company awarded unvested common shares to members of its Board of Directors. In total, non-management board members were awarded 55 unvested shares with an approximate aggregate fair value of $500. For the year-ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 we awarded 89 and 166 unvested shares with an approximate aggregate fair value of $560 and $557, respectively. One-third of the shares vest on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date. These awarded shares are participating securities which provide the

F-29

recipient with both voting rights and, to the extent dividends, if any, are paid by the Company, non-forfeitable dividend rights with respect to such shares. For the year-ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 there were 303 and 131 vested common shares with a weighted-average fair value of $1,300 and $622, respectively.

Changes in nonvested shares for 2012 were as follows:

	Shares			Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2012		682		$	4.28
Granted		55			9.06
Vested		(179	)		4.16
Forfeited		—			—
Nonvested at December 31, 2012		558		$	4.79

In the first quarter of 2010, 517 performance shares were granted to certain members of management. These performance shares are convertible to stock, on a one-to-one basis, contingent upon future stock price performance. If, at any time up to ten years after the date of grant, the Company’s common stock attains three separate incrementally increasing stock price goals beginning with a price representing approximately 350% of the average stock price on the date of grant, a portion of the awards will vest. On July 7, 2011, the first tranche of shares reached their vesting price. As a result, 117 shares of common stock were issued on the respective date.

In addition, in the first quarter of 2010, 258 performance shares that settled in cash rather than stock were also granted to certain members of management. If, at any time up to ten years after the date of grant, the Company’s common stock attains three separate incrementally increasing stock price goals beginning with a price representing approximately 350% of the average stock price on the date of grant, a portion of the awards will vest. On July 7, 2011, the first tranche of these shares reached their vesting price. Accordingly, the equivalent of 58 shares of common stock was paid in cash on the respective date. The cash-settled shares are re-measured each balance sheet date using a Monte Carlo model and recorded as a liability. At December 31, 2012, these cash-settled shares were measured using an assumption of 84.6% volatility, and a risk-free rate of 1.21%, resulting in an estimated aggregate fair value of approximately $2,568, which is recorded to the stock compensation liability over the estimated derived service period (also estimated using a Monte Carlo model), which was approximately 0.7 years as of December 31, 2012.

Treasury Stock

On August 3, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 500 shares of the Company’s common stock in open market or privately-negotiated transactions. The repurchase plan expires in August 2013. To date, we have purchased 426 shares pursuant to this repurchase program. There can be no assurance that any additional share purchases will be made. The number of shares actually purchased in future periods will depend on various factors, including limitations imposed by the Company’s debt instruments, the price of our common stock, overall market and business conditions, and management’s assessment of competing alternatives for capital deployment. In 2012, we repurchased 123 shares at a total cost of $1,129, including commissions, of common stock, including shares repurchased from employees of the Company that were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations due upon vesting of a restricted stock award.

Dividends Paid

We declared and paid three cash dividends of $0.02 per share in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2012 totally $1,056. We declared a $0.02 per share dividend on March 5, 2013 payable March 30, 2013 for shareholders of record as of March 15, 2013.

13.  RELATED PARTIES

We lease our corporate office facility from certain members of our Board of Directors and executive management, and we made rental payments of $417, $475 and $330 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In addition, we previously leased three manufacturing facilities from an entity in which one of our executive officers has a substantial minority interest, and we paid a total of $1,105 and $1,176 in 2011 and 2010, respectively. On January 16, 2012, we purchased these three manufacturing facilities for $6,505.

14.  BENEFIT PLANS

Employee Savings Plan

We provide defined contribution savings plans for employees meeting certain age and service requirements. Considering such matching contributions, we recorded expenses totaling $1,307, $1,075 and $952, related to these savings plans during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Riblet Pension Plan

As a result of its merger with Riblet Products Corporation (“Riblet”) in 2000, the Company is responsible for a defined-benefit pension plan of Riblet. The Riblet plan was frozen in 1990 and no additional benefits have been earned by plan participants since that time. A total of 75 former employees of Riblet currently receive or may be eligible to receive future benefits under the plan.

As of December 31, 2012, the plan had total assets of $1,612 and a benefit obligation of $1,073. The resulting funded status is $539.

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded net period pension expense of $57 and $58, respectively.

The table below presents the Riblet plan assets using the fair value hierarchy, as of the periods ending December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The plan’s investments are held in the form of cash, group fixed and variable deferred annuities, real estate, and other investments.

15.  FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE

Accounting guidance for fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources or reflect our own assumptions of market participant valuation. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs – Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Inputs – Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

F-31

As of the periods ending December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we utilized Level 1 inputs to determine the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, derivatives, and equity securities. There were no transfers of assets between levels for year ended December 31, 2012.

We classify cash on hand and deposits in banks, including money market accounts, commercial paper, and other investments with an original maturity of three months or less, that we hold from time to time, as cash and cash equivalents. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations.

Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

	Fair Value Measurement

16.  INSURANCE-RELATED SETTLEMENT

In 2005, we experienced a theft of inventory resulting from break-ins at our manufacturing facility in Miami Lakes, Florida, which we have since closed. In 2008, as a result of failing to secure satisfactory settlement of the matter with our insurers, we commenced legal action in regards to this matter and recorded an allowance for the related insurance receivable. Accordingly, we recorded a $1,588 non-cash charge in 2008 that fully reserved the insurance receivable reflected on our consolidated balance sheet for the theft of the related inventory and associated product reels. During the fourth quarter of 2011, we received payment of $1,250 in settlement of this matter. This amount has been recorded within selling, general and administrative expense.

17.  OTHER INCOME (LOSS)

In 2012 we recorded a loss of $214 primarily related to the impact of exchange rate changes on our Canadian subsidiary. In 2011, we recorded a loss of $300 as compared to a gain of $230 in 2010, primarily reflecting the impact of exchange rate changes on our Canadian subsidiary.

Additionally, in 2011, in accordance with our purchase accounting relating to TRC, we recorded an accrual of $378, reflecting our best estimate of TRC’s obligation under the terms of an earn-out provision at the time of our acquisition of TRC. During the fourth quarter of 2011, it was determined that this liability was no longer necessary, and the accrual was reversed with a corresponding offset recorded within other income.

18.  BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have three reportable segments: (1) Distribution, (2) OEM and (3) Engineered Solutions. Our reportable segments are a function of how we are organized internally to market our customer groups and measure our financial performance. The Distribution and OEM segments serve customers within the distribution, retail, and OEM businesses. Our Engineered Solutions segment was created as the direct result of our 2011 acquisition of TRC and also includes WE, which was acquired in 2012. We integrated a portion of TRC’s legacy business into our Distribution segment during 2011. The remainder of TRC’s legacy business, primarily its military and specialty vehicle business, is reported within the Engineered Solutions segment.

F-32

We have aggregated our operating segments, as set forth in the table below, into the above-noted reportable business segments in accordance with the applicable criteria set forth in the relevant accounting rules. Our operating segments have common production processes and manufacturing facilities. Accordingly, we do not identify our net assets to our operating segments. Thus, we do not report capital expenditures at the segment level. Additionally, depreciation expense is not allocated to our segments but is included in our manufacturing overhead cost pools and is absorbed into product cost (and inventory) as each product passes through our manufacturing work centers. Accordingly, as products are sold across multiple segments, it is impracticable to determine the amount of depreciation expense included in the operating results of each operating segment.

Revenues by business segment represent sales to unaffiliated customers and no one customer or group of customers under common control accounted for more than 10% of consolidated net sales. No sales were made among reportable segments for the periods ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010.

Insurance Related Settlement

16.  INSURANCE-RELATED SETTLEMENT

In 2005, we experienced a theft of inventory resulting from break-ins at our manufacturing facility in Miami Lakes, Florida, which we have since closed. In 2008, as a result of failing to secure satisfactory settlement of the matter with our insurers, we commenced legal action in regards to this matter and recorded an allowance for the related insurance receivable. Accordingly, we recorded a $1,588 non-cash charge in 2008 that fully reserved the insurance receivable reflected on our consolidated balance sheet for the theft of the related inventory and associated product reels. During the fourth quarter of 2011, we received payment of $1,250 in settlement of this matter. This amount has been recorded within selling, general and administrative expense.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Dec. 31, 2012

Nature of Operations, Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations, Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coleman Cable, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Coleman,” “we,” “us” or “our”). We are a manufacturer and supplier of electrical wire and cable products for consumer, commercial and industrial applications, with operations primarily in the United States and, to a lesser degree, in Honduras and Canada.

We operate our business through three reportable business segments: (1) Distribution, (2) Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”) and (3) Engineered Solutions. Our reportable segments are a function of how we are organized internally to market to customer groups and measure our financial performance. The distribution and OEM segments serve customers within the distribution, retail, and OEM businesses. Our Engineered Solutions segment, which includes the remainder of TRC’s (see Note 2) legacy business, primarily its military and specialty-vehicle business, and WE, which was acquired in 2012 (see Note 18).

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting Estimates

Accounting 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 period. Estimates are required for several matters, including inventory valuation, determining the allowance for uncollectible accounts and accruals for sales returns, allowances and incentives, depreciation and amortization, accounting for business combinations, and the recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Summarized below is the activity for our accounts receivable allowance account:

	2012			2011			2010
Balance — January 1	$	2,811		$	2,491		$	2,565
Provisions		242			475			45
Write-offs and credit allowances, net of recovery		(8	)		(144	)		(137	)
Foreign currency translation adjustment		1			(11	)		18
Balance — December 31	$	3,046		$	2,811		$	2,491

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition

Our sales represent sales of our product inventory. We recognize sales when products are shipped to customers and the title and risk of loss pass to the customer in accordance with the terms of sale, pricing is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Billings for shipping and handling costs are recorded as sales and related costs are included in cost of goods sold. Provisions for payment discounts, product returns and customer incentives and allowances, which reduce revenue, are estimated based upon historical experience and other relevant factors and are recorded within the same period that the revenue is recognized as a reduction of sales.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold is primarily comprised of direct materials, labor and overhead costs (including depreciation expense) consumed in the manufacturing of goods sold. Cost of goods sold also includes the cost of direct sourced merchandise sold, as well as our distribution costs, including the cost of inbound freight, internal transfers, warehousing and shipping and handling.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising Expenses

We account for advertising expenditures as expense in the period incurred. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, advertising expenses were $3,131, $2,921 and $2,325, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of our Canadian subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars at fiscal year-end exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity. Income and expense items are translated at exchange rates prevailing throughout the year. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates their carrying amounts. All of our cash and cash equivalents qualify as Level 1 fair values under the fair value hierarchy.

Inventories

Inventories

Inventories include material, labor and overhead costs and are recorded at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. We estimate losses for excess and obsolete inventory through an assessment of its net realizable value based on the aging of the inventory and an evaluation of the likelihood of recovering the inventory costs based on anticipated demand and selling price.

Assets Held for Sale

Assets Held for Sale

Assets held for sale consist primarily of property related to closed facilities that are currently being marketed for disposal. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost reduced by accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recognized over the assets’ estimated useful lives, ranging from 3 to 20 years, using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for tax reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives of buildings range from 9 to 20 years; leasehold improvements have a useful life equal to the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term; and the estimated useful lives of machinery, fixtures and equipment range from 3 to 8 years.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We are required to assess goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Our annual evaluation for potential goodwill impairment is performed as of December 31st of each year. Our other intangible assets primarily consist of acquired customer relationships and trademarks and trade names, all of which have finite or determinable useful lives. Accordingly, these finite-lived assets are amortized to reflect the estimated pattern of economic benefit consumed, either on a straight-line or accelerated basis over the estimated periods benefited. See Note 3 for information regarding our asset impairment analyses.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We test the carrying amount of our long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if, in performing the impairment review, it is determined that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss recorded is equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. See Note 3 for information regarding our asset impairment analyses.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in our consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which we expect the differences to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period of the enactment date.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance stipulates the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. This guidance provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The rules also provide guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

We have not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties, or uncertain income tax positions at either December 31, 2012 or 2011. In accordance with this guidance, we have adopted a policy under which, if required to be recognized in the future, we will classify interest related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of interest expense and we will classify any related penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments, and Concentrations of Credit Risk

Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments, and Concentrations of Credit Risk

We are exposed to certain commodity price risks including fluctuations in the price of copper. From time-to-time, we enter into derivative contracts, including copper futures contracts, to mitigate the potential impact of fluctuations in the price of copper on our pricing terms with certain customers. All of the copper futures contracts we utilize are tied to the COMEX copper market index and the value of such contracts varies directly with underlying changes in the related COMEX copper futures prices. We recognize all of our derivative instruments on our balance sheet at fair value, and record changes in the fair value of such contracts within cost of goods sold in the statement of operations as they occur unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. For those hedging relationships that meet such criteria, and for which hedge accounting is applied, we formally document our hedge relationships, including identifying the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives involved. We have no open commodity hedge positions at December 31, 2012 or 2011 to which hedge accounting is being applied. However, all of our hedges for which hedge accounting has been applied in the past qualified and were designated as cash flow hedges. We assess both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in these cash flow hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows associated with the hedged item. The effective portion of the related gains or losses on these derivative instruments are recorded in shareholders’ equity as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”), and are subsequently recognized in income or expense in the period in which the related hedged items are recognized. The ineffective portion of these hedges (extent to which a change in the value of the derivative contract does not perfectly offset the change in value of the designated hedged item) is immediately recognized in cost of goods sold. We calculate the fair value of our copper contracts quarterly based on the quoted market price for the same or similar financial instruments. Our derivatives have been determined to be Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy due to available market prices. As our derivatives are part of a legally enforceable master netting arrangement, for purposes of presentation within our consolidated balance sheets, gross values are netted and classified within prepaid expenses and other current assets or accrued liabilities depending upon our aggregate net position at the balance sheet date. Cash settlements related to derivatives are included in the operating section of the consolidated statement of cash flows, with prepaid expenses and other current assets or accrued liabilities, depending on the position. The Company’s derivatives are disclosed in Note 10.

Financial instruments also include other working capital items and debt. The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable approximate fair value given the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Company’s debt is disclosed in Note 7.

Concentrations of credit risk arising from trade accounts receivable are due to selling to a number of customers in a particular industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ and counterparties’ financial condition and obtains collateral or other security when appropriate. No customer accounted for more than 10% of sales or accounts receivable as of December 31, 2012, 2011, or 2010.

Cash and cash equivalents are placed with financial institutions, which we believe to have adequate credit standings.

Self-Insurance

Self-Insurance

We are partially self-insured for health benefit costs for covered individuals at a majority of our facilities. The accrual for our self-insurance liability is determined by management and is based on claims filed and an estimate of actual claims incurred but not yet reported.

Stock-based Compensation

Stock-based Compensation

We recognize compensation expense over the related vesting period for each share-based award we grant, based on the fair value of the instrument at grant date for those awards to be settled in stock, and based on the fair value of the instrument at the balance sheet date for those awards to be settled in cash. Our stock-based compensation arrangements are further detailed in Note 12.

Earnings per Common Share

Earnings per Common Share

We compute earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Our participating securities are our grants of service-condition unvested common shares, as such awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. Security holders are not obligated to fund any losses, and therefore participating securities are not allocated a portion of any net loss in any period for which a net loss is recorded. Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of unexercised stock options and the effect of unvested common shares when dilutive.

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28 — “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts” (“ASU No. 2010-28”)

ASU No. 2010-28 affects all entities that have recognized goodwill and have one or more reporting units whose carrying amount for purposes of performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is zero or negative. The amendments in this update modify Step 1 so that for those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with existing guidance, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The accounting update was effective for a reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after December 2010, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This update, which was effective for the first quarter of 2011, did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-29 — “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations” (“ASU No. 2010-29”)

ASU No. 2010-29 amends existing guidance for presenting pro forma results of business combinations. The amendments in this update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The accounting update was effective for a reporting entity’s business combinations occurring beginning on or after the entity’s first annual reporting period after December 15, 2010. The Company has applied the provisions of this update for all material business combinations that occurred after January 1, 2011.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 – “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU No. 2011-04”)

ASU No. 2011-04 generally provides a uniform framework for fair value measurements and related disclosures between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. This update, which was effective for the first quarter of 2012, did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosure requirements.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 – “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU No. 2011-05”)

ASU No. 2011-05 amends existing guidance by allowing only two options for presenting the components of net income and other comprehensive income: (1) in a single continuous financial statement, statement of comprehensive income or (2) in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of an income statement followed by a separate statement of other comprehensive income. Also, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2012. The Company has presented comprehensive income using two separate but consecutive financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU No. 2011-08”)

ASU No. 2011-08 amends existing guidance by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. This update, which was effective for the year ending December 31, 2012, did not impact our annual goodwill impairment assessment as the Company chose to follow quantitative guidelines and apply a Step 1 test.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 – “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU No. 2011-11”)

ASU No. 2011-11 amends existing guidance by enhancing disclosures required by U.S. GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 201-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. This information will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. ASU No. 2011-11 requires retrospective application, and it is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2011-11 and the clarifying amendments included in ASU 2013-01 will have on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04 – “Technical Corrections and Improvements” (“ASU No. 2012 -04”)

ASU No. 2012-04 contains amendments to clarify the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the ASC that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create significant administrative cost to most entities. Additionally, the amendments are intended to make the ASC easier to understand and the fair value measurement guidance easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing needed clarifications. The amendments that do not have transition guidance were effective upon issuance. The amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The amendments that were effective immediately and the adoption of amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02 – “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU No. 2013 -02”)

ASA No. 2013-02 requires entities to disclose additional information about reclassification adjustments, including (1) change in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and significant items reclassified out of AOCI. The new disclosure requirements do not amend any existing requirements for reporting net income or Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). An entity is required to disaggregate the total change of each component OCI and separately present (1) reclassification adjustments and (2) current-period OCI. Additionally, the amendments requires an entity to present information about significant items reclassified out of AOCI by component either (1) on the face of the statement where net income is presented of (2) as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The ASU does not change the current requirements for interim financial statement reporting or comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2013-02 will have on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Commodity Derivatives

As our derivatives are part of a legally enforceable master netting agreement, for purposes of presentation within our consolidated balance sheets, gross values are netted and classified within Prepaid expenses and other current assets or Accrued liabilities depending upon our aggregate net position at the balance sheet date.

Commodity Derivatives	Contract Position (In Total Pounds)						Fair Value
	Long		Short		Cash Collateral Posted		Asset		Liability
Copper futures contracts outstanding as of (1):
Period ended December 31, 2012		—		625	$	193	$	—	$	66
Period ended December 31, 2011		450		625	$	113	$	—	$	5

(1) All of our copper futures contracts mature in less than three months and are tied to the price of copper on the COMEX and, accordingly, the value of such futures contracts changes directly in relation thereto.

Derivatives Not Accounted As Hedges Under Accounting Rules

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, no cumulative losses or gains existed in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). As hedge accounting has not been applied to any of our open hedges at December 31, 2012, no associated losses or gains have been recorded within OCI.

Fair Value Disclosure

15.  FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURE

Accounting guidance for fair value measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources or reflect our own assumptions of market participant valuation. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs – Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 Inputs – Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

As of the periods ending December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we utilized Level 1 inputs to determine the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, derivatives, and equity securities. There were no transfers of assets between levels for year ended December 31, 2012.

We classify cash on hand and deposits in banks, including money market accounts, commercial paper, and other investments with an original maturity of three months or less, that we hold from time to time, as cash and cash equivalents. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve our capital for the purpose of funding operations.

Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

	Fair Value Measurement

Income Taxes

8.  INCOME TAXES

Our income before income taxes includes the following components:

	2012		2011		2010
Income before income taxes
U.S	$	30,720	$	21,822	$	1,341
Foreign		4,893		3,601		3,869
Total income before taxes	$	35,613	$	25,423	$	5,210

The provision for income tax expense (benefit) consists of the following:

	2012			2011		2010
Current tax expense	$	12,979		$	6,380	$	2,397
Deferred income tax expense (benefit)		(870	)		1,602		(914	)
Total income tax expense	$	12,109		$	7,982	$	1,483

Our current tax expense for 2012 consisted of U.S. and foreign current tax amounts of $12,125 and $854, respectively, and our deferred tax benefit for 2012 consisted of U.S. and foreign deferred tax amounts of $(730), and $(140), respectively.

Our current tax expense for 2011 consisted of US and foreign current tax amounts of $5,736 and $644, respectively, and our deferred tax expense for 2011 consisted of US and foreign deferred tax amounts of $1,495 and $107, respectively.

Our current tax expense for 2010 consisted of US and foreign current tax amounts of $1,335 and $1,062, respectively, and our deferred tax expense benefit for 2010 consisted of US and foreign deferred tax amounts of $(1,029) and $115, respectively.

Our deferred taxes result primarily from the tax effect of differences between the financial and tax basis of assets and liabilities based on enacted tax laws. Valuation allowances, if necessary, are provided against deferred tax assets that are not likely to be realized. We believe our deferred tax assets will be fully utilized based on projections for future earnings and tax planning strategies. Additionally, we believe our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained and, thus, we have not recorded any reserves related to our deferred tax assets, or related accruals for interest and penalties, or uncertain income tax positions under the accounting guidance at either December 31, 2012 or 2011.

Significant components of deferred tax assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 are as follows:

	2012			2011
Deferred tax assets:
Reserves not deducted for tax:
Allowances for uncollectible accounts	$	627		$	577
Legal reserves		130			133
Inventories		2,923			2,013
Employee benefits		677			773
Tax credits		72			442
Stock-based compensation		5,004			5,018
Other		1,607			1,386
Deferred tax liabilities:
Depreciation and amortization		(11,506	)		(11,829	)
Other		(1,621	)		(1,285	)
Net deferred tax asset (liability)	$	(2,087	)	$	(2,772	)

We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions. We provide for U.S. deferred taxes and foreign withholding tax on undistributed earnings not considered permanently reinvested in our Canadian subsidiary. We do not provide for deferred taxes on the excess of the financial reporting basis over the tax basis in our investment in our Honduran subsidiary, which totaled $10,386 and $7,816 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, as we consider this investment permanent in duration. Accordingly, the corresponding estimate of additional deferred taxes related thereto that have not been provided for as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 is approximately $3,635 and $2,735, respectively. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had $2,266 and $1,542, respectively, in cash held in Honduras. If transferred, the Company would have to accrue and pay taxes on the amount repatriated. The Company does not currently intend to repatriate any of the funds held in Honduras.

Our state and foreign income tax returns for the tax years 2005 and later remain subject to examination by various state and foreign taxing authorities. The Internal Revenue Service has completed reviews of our federal income tax returns through 2009. We are currently under examination by the Canada Revenue Agency for tax years 2006 and 2007.

Capital and Operating Leases

We lease certain of our buildings, machinery and equipment under lease agreements that expire at various dates over the next ten years. Rental expense under operating leases was $5,256, $6,308 and $5,910 for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Minimum future lease payments under capital and operating leases, with non-cancelable initial lease terms in excess of one year as of December 31, 2012, were as follows:

	Capital Leases		Operating Leases
2013	$	185	$	4,856
2014		183		4,252

Less: Amounts representing interest		26
Present value of future minimum lease payments		695

Long-term obligations under capital leases	$	521

We record our obligation under capital leases within debt in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets (see Note 7). The gross amount of assets recorded under capital leases as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1,755 and $1,729, respectively. Accumulated depreciation was $1,062 and $881 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We depreciate these assets over the shorter of their related lease terms or estimated useful lives.

Legal Matters

We are party to one environmental claim. The Leonard Chemical Company Superfund site consists of approximately 7.1 acres of land in an industrial area located a half mile east of Catawba, York County, South Carolina. The Leonard Chemical Company operated this site until the early 1980s for recycling of waste solvents. These operations resulted in the contamination of soils and groundwater at the site with hazardous substances. In 1984, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) listed this site on the National Priorities List. Riblet Products Corporation, with which the Company merged in 2000, was identified through documents as a company that sent solvents to the site for recycling and was one of the companies receiving a special notice letter from the EPA identifying it as a party potentially liable under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”).

In 2004, along with other “potentially responsible parties” (“PRPs”), we entered into a joint and several Consent Decree with the EPA requiring the performance of a remedial design and remedial action (“RD/RA”) for this site. We have entered into a Site Participation Agreement with the other PRPs for fulfillment of the requirements of the Consent Decree. Under the Site Participation Agreement, we are responsible for 9.19% share of the costs for the RD/RA. As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had a $331 and $341 accrual, respectively, recorded for this liability.

We recently received a civil complaint for $2,300 plus attorney’s fees and expenses related to a recent acquisition. We believe the civil complaint lacks merit and is not payable by us. We have not provided for this claim in accordance with ASC 450 as we do not believe an unfavorable outcome is probable and estimable at this time.

Although no assurances are possible, we believe that our accruals related to the environmental litigation and other claims are sufficient and that these items and our rights to available insurance and indemnities will be resolved without material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Under goodwill accounting rules, we are required to assess goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The analysis of potential impairment of goodwill employs a two-step process. The first step involves the estimation of fair value of our reporting units. If step one indicates that impairment of goodwill potentially exists, the second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. Goodwill impairment exists when the estimated implied fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying value.

We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2012, with no indication of potential impairment. Our test indicated that the estimated fair value of all reporting units other than TRC Military and TRC OEM discussed below, had excess fair values of no less than 16% of their carrying values as of December 31, 2012.

Our remaining two reporting units, with recorded goodwill of $20,518 for TRC Military and $1,925 for TRC OEM, reported within our Engineered Solutions segment, had excess fair values of 7% and 13% of their carrying values, respectively, as of December 31, 2012. The overall TRC business was acquired in 2011 in order to strengthen and diversify our overall portfolio. Since the acquisition 18 months ago, we have been assessing the progress of our new products and determining the appropriate time for introduction into the market, both of which may impact our short-term and long-term growth projections. Our assumptions reflect the anticipated growth in these businesses due to the introduction and improved results gained through these new products. We also considered the economic conditions of the end-markets are products reside in when assessing our growth assumptions.

TRC Military serves as a subcontractor to customers who sell directly to the U.S. military for defense related programs. We finished 2012 operating our business amongst a general uncertainty involving future U.S. military spending. In arriving at the fair value of this reporting unit, we considered the potential risks of not meeting forecasted results given the uncertainties surrounding additional U.S. government spending reductions in 2013. We are preparing for the automatic spending reductions, generally referred to as “sequestration”, although we do not definitively know the full impact that these reductions will have on our business. Our products are used in specific niche end-markets supporting the U.S. military, and any meaningful reduction in spending by the government may impact our results of operations in 2013 and future years.

TRC OEM provides a variety of products serving end-markets for power management and protection solutions. The growth of this business is dependent upon the development of new products to accompany our existing product line. In arriving at the fair value of this reporting unit, we considered the timing and related impact of when we believe our new products will become available to our customers.

The goodwill impairment testing process involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments, and is subject to inherent uncertainties and subjectivity. Estimating a reporting unit’s projected cash flows involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments with respect to numerous factors, including future sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expense rates, capital expenditures, and cash flows. These estimates are based on our business plans and forecasts. These estimates are then discounted, which necessitates the selection of an appropriate discount rate. The discount rates used reflect market-based estimates of the risks associated with the projected cash flows of the reporting unit. The allocation of the estimated fair value of our reporting units to the estimated fair value of their net assets required under the second step of the goodwill impairment test also involves the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments, which are based on the best information available to management as of the date of the assessment.

The use of different assumptions, estimates, or judgments in the goodwill impairment testing process may significantly increase or decrease the estimated fair value of a reporting unit. As of the December 31, 2012 annual impairment test date, changes in the assumptions in excess of : 1) a 6% decrease in the estimated sales growth rate, without a change in the discount rate, for TRC Military and TRC OEM respectively, 2) an assumption that our long-term growth rate would decrease by 300 basis points, without a change in the discount rate, for TRC Military and TRC OEM reporting units or; 3) a 140 and 130 basis point increase in the discount rate for TRC Military and TRC OEM, without a change in sales projections for TRC Military and TRC OEM reporting units used to discount the aggregate estimate cash flows to its net present value in determining their estimated fair values could potentially result in a goodwill impairment charge.

Goodwill impairment charges may be recognized in future periods to the extent changes in factors or circumstances occur, including deterioration in the macro-economic environment or in the equity markets, including the market value of our common shares, deterioration in our performance or our future projections, or changes in our plans for one or more reporting units.

We test the carrying amount of our finite-lived intangible assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. This assessment employs a two-step approach. The first step is used to determine if a potential impairment exists while the second step measures the associated impairment loss (if any). An impairment loss is recognized if, in performing the impairment review, it is determined that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset or asset group and its eventual disposition. The asset groups tested under our impairment tests reflect the shared nature of our facilities and manufacturing capacity. The second step of the impairment test involves measuring the amount of the impairment loss to be recorded. The amount of the impairment loss recorded is equal to the excess of the asset or asset group’s carrying value over its fair value. For 2012 and 2011, no asset impairments were identified relative to our long-lived property, plant and equipment or our finite-lived intangible assets, other than among assets held for sale. We recorded $324 of asset impairment in 2010.

The long-lived asset impairment test uses significant assumptions, estimates and judgments, and is subject to inherent uncertainties and subjectivity. Estimating projected cash flows associated with our asset groups involved the use of significant assumptions, estimates and judgments with respect to numerous factors, including future sales, gross profit, selling, general and administrative expense rates, discount rates and cash flows.

Total	$	94,468	$	(57,051	)	$	37,417	$	77,446	$	(49,106	)	$	28,340

Our intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. The customer-relationship, contractual agreements, trademarks and trade names, and developed technology intangibles are being amortized using an accelerated amortization method which reflects our estimate of the pattern in which the economic benefit derived from such assets will be consumed. Amortization expense for intangible assets was $7,945 and $7,025 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Expected amortization expense for intangible assets over the next five years is as follows:

2013	$	8,112
2014		6,600
2015		5,259
2016		3,573
2017		2,375

Asset Impairments

In 2010, we recorded $324 of asset impairment charges in relation to certain of our closed properties currently being marketed for sale, with such impairments reflecting a decline in the estimated fair value of such properties.

2.  ACQUISITIONS

2012 Acquisition – Watteredge (“WE”)

On May 31, 2012, Coleman, through a 100%-owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition of most of the operating assets (and assumed certain liabilities) of Watteredge, Inc., (“WE”) an Ohio corporation that designs, manufactures and sells secondary power connectors, including electric arc furnace cables, resistance welding cables, industrial high-performance copper bus and accessories, and other high performance power conduction devices and accessories. WE serves the steel, chemical, chlorine, power generation, fiberglass and automotive industries and sells its products and services worldwide. Coleman retained WE’s workforce and has continued all of WE’s production at its current manufacturing plant in Avon Lake, Ohio. We believe the acquisition of WE strengthens and provides for greater diversification of our overall portfolio.

The acquisition of the assets of WE, whose sales were nearly $25,000 for 2011, was structured as an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $33,922 (equal to a $35,000 preliminary purchase price adjusted by a $1,078 working capital adjustment). The transaction was funded with proceeds from Coleman’s existing credit facility. WE has been included as a component of our Engineered Solutions segment reported herein.

2011 Acquisitions

During the second quarter of 2011, we utilized cash on hand, as well as borrowings under our credit facility, to complete three business combinations (collectively, the “2011 Acquisitions”), as set forth below. Each of these 2011 Acquisitions was structured as cash transactions, with aggregate consideration totaling $69,733. As discussed below, $2,331 of the TRC consideration consisted of our previously existing ownership interest. We believe these acquisitions represent significant opportunities for us, including the strengthening and greater diversification of our overall portfolio.

The 2011 Acquisitions are included in our consolidated financial statements, including our results of operations, beginning from each respective acquisition date. Accordingly, the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2011 includes nine months of operations for the assets acquired in connection with the DE (as defined below) acquisition, approximately eight months of operations for the assets acquired in connection with FCWC and CWC (as defined below) acquisition, and approximately seven and one half months of operations related to the TRC (as defined below) acquisition. The consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2010 does not include the impact of the 2011 Acquisitions.

We incurred acquisition-related costs, including outside legal, consulting and other fees of $2,821 for the year ended December 31, 2011. These costs have been recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated income statement.

Acquisition of the Assets of The Designers Edge (“DE”)

On April 1, 2011, we acquired certain assets of DE, a leading designer and distributor of specialty lighting products in the U.S. and Canada, with 2010 sales in excess of $20,000. The total purchase price for the assets acquired, primarily trade receivables and merchandise inventories, was $10,925, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. The acquisition of DE’s assets significantly expands our market position across a wide range of lighting product categories, including industrial, work and utility, as well as products for security and landscape applications. We fully integrated the acquired assets of DE into our existing Distribution segment during the second quarter of 2011.

Acquisition of the Assets of First Capitol Wire and Cable (“FCWC”) and Continental Wire and Cable (“CWC”)

On April 29, 2011, we acquired the assets of FCWC and CWC, both of which were privately-held entities based in York, Pennsylvania, with CWC being a 100%-owned subsidiary of FCWC. These two entities, which had annual combined sales in excess of $10,000, are leading manufacturers of industrial wire and cable products used across a number of commercial, utility and industrial end-markets. The total purchase price for the assets acquired, primarily merchandise inventories and production equipment, was $7,298, inclusive of working capital adjustments of $834. The acquisition of the assets of FCWC and CWC has allowed us to expand our capabilities, product offerings and capacity for producing a wide assortment of high-quality industrial cables. We fully integrated the assets of FCWC and CWC into our Distribution segment during the second quarter of 2011.

Acquisition of Technology Research Corporation (“TRC”)

On May 16, 2011, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of TRC pursuant to a merger agreement under which each outstanding share of TRC common stock was converted into the right to receive $7.20 per share payable in cash. For its fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, TRC had revenues of $35,982 and net income of $1,545. TRC is a recognized leader in providing cost effective engineered solutions for applications involving power management and control, intelligent battery systems technology and electrical safety products based on proven ground fault sensing and Fire Shield ^® technology. These products are designed, manufactured and distributed to the consumer, commercial and industrial markets worldwide. TRC also supplies power monitors and control equipment to the United States military and its prime contractors. We believe the TRC acquisition both strengthens and diversifies our overall portfolio. TRC was publicly traded on the NASDAQ prior to its acquisition by Coleman. We completed the TRC acquisition as the result of a successful public tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of TRC. The total purchase price consideration for TRC was $51,510, including the acquisition-date fair value of an approximate 4.8% interest in TRC’s common stock acquired by Coleman prior to submitting its acquisition proposal for TRC.

We integrated a portion of TRC’s legacy business into our Distribution segment during 2011. The remainder of TRC’s legacy business, primarily its military and specialty vehicle business, has not yet been integrated into our two historic reportable segments, and comprises the Engineered Solutions segment reported herein. For the post-acquisition period ended December 31, 2011, TRC had sales and a net loss of $20,602 and $(561), respectively.

As noted above, our pre-existing 4.8% interest in TRC was accounted for as a component of the overall purchase price for TRC. Accordingly, using the tender offer price of $7.20 per share, the value of this component of total consideration was $2,331, with the difference between this calculated fair value and our cost basis in the 4.8% pre-existing interest recognized as a $753 gain in our condensed consolidated statement of income at the time of the acquisition in accordance with the applicable accounting rules.

Each of the above acquisitions has been included in our consolidated financial statements, including our results of operations, beginning from each respective acquisition date. Accordingly, the consolidated statements of income for 2012 includes the full impact of operations for the assets acquired in connection with the 2011 Acquisitions, but only seven months of results for WE.

We incurred acquisition-related costs, including outside legal, consulting and other fees, of $443 for 2012 and $2,821 for 2011. These costs have been recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income.

Purchase Price Allocations

Each of the above acquisitions was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, we have allocated the purchase price for each acquisition to the net assets acquired based on the related estimated fair values at each respective acquisition date. The expected long-term growth, increased market position and expected synergies to be generated from the acquisitions are the primary factors which gave rise to acquisition prices for each of the acquisitions, which resulted in the recognition of goodwill.

The purchase price allocations for TRC, FCWC and CWC were finalized in 2011. At the end of the first quarter of 2012, we finalized our purchase accounting for DE as certain purchase price and other matters relative to this acquisition were resolved. As a result, the total purchase price was lowered by $833, with a corresponding reduction in the goodwill recorded with respect to this acquisition. The purchase price allocation for WE was finalized during the third quarter of 2012 which resulted in an additional $248 in purchase price with a corresponding increase recorded to goodwill during the third quarter of 2012.

The table below summarizes the final allocations of purchase price related to the 2011 Acquisitions and Watteredge.

Net assets acquired	$	10,092	$	7,298		$	51,510		$	33,922

A total of approximately $16,900 of goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes of which $11,348 is attributable to WE. All of the goodwill of DE, FCWC, and CWC has been assigned to our Distribution segment. TRC goodwill has been allocated between our Distribution and Engineered Solutions segments. WE goodwill has been allocated to our Engineered Solutions segment.

As part of the TRC acquisition, we assumed a contingent liability of TRC related to an acquisition made by TRC in March 2010. Under the terms of the March 2010 acquisition, TRC, as acquirer, is obligated to make contingent cash payments, or an earn-out payment, to the seller equal to a pre-determined percentage of total revenues within selected product categories that exceed a pre-determined threshold level for the 12-month period ended March 31, 2012. We initially included an accrual of $378, which represented our best estimate of TRC’s obligation under the terms of this earn-out at the date of acquisition, in our preliminary purchase price allocation for TRC, and classified this accrual as a component of current liabilities. During the fourth quarter of 2011, we adjusted this same accrual to $0, with the corresponding offset recorded in other income, based on our revised estimate of our liability relative to this earn-out.

The purchase price allocation to identifiable intangible assets, which are all amortizable, along with their respective weighted-average amortization periods at the acquisition date are as follows:

			2011 Acquisitions						2012
	Weighted-Average Amortization Period		DE		FCWC and CWC		TRC		WE

Employee Savings Plan

We provide defined contribution savings plans for employees meeting certain age and service requirements. Considering such matching contributions, we recorded expenses totaling $1,307, $1,075 and $952, related to these savings plans during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Riblet Pension Plan

As a result of its merger with Riblet Products Corporation (“Riblet”) in 2000, the Company is responsible for a defined-benefit pension plan of Riblet. The Riblet plan was frozen in 1990 and no additional benefits have been earned by plan participants since that time. A total of 75 former employees of Riblet currently receive or may be eligible to receive future benefits under the plan.

As of December 31, 2012, the plan had total assets of $1,612 and a benefit obligation of $1,073. The resulting funded status is $539.

For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recorded net period pension expense of $57 and $58, respectively.

The table below presents the Riblet plan assets using the fair value hierarchy, as of the periods ending December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011. The plan’s investments are held in the form of cash, group fixed and variable deferred annuities, real estate, and other investments.

Derivatives

10.  DERIVATIVES

We are exposed to certain commodity price risks including fluctuations in the price of copper. From time-to-time, we enter into copper futures contracts to mitigate the potential impact of fluctuations in the price of copper on our pricing terms with certain customers. We recognize all of our derivative instruments on our balance sheet at fair value, and record changes in the fair value of such contracts within cost of goods sold in the statement of operations as they occur unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. We had no hedge positions at December 31, 2012 to which hedge accounting was applied. Cash settlements related to derivatives are included in the operating section of the consolidated statement of cash flows.

As our derivatives are part of a legally enforceable master netting agreement, for purposes of presentation within our consolidated balance sheets, gross values are netted and classified within Prepaid expenses and other current assets or Accrued liabilities depending upon our aggregate net position at the balance sheet date.

Commodity Derivatives	Contract Position (In Total Pounds)						Fair Value
	Long		Short		Cash Collateral Posted		Asset		Liability
Copper futures contracts outstanding as of (1):
Period ended December 31, 2012		—		625	$	193	$	—	$	66
Period ended December 31, 2011		450		625	$	113	$	—	$	5

(1) All of our copper futures contracts mature in less than three months and are tied to the price of copper on the COMEX and, accordingly, the value of such futures contracts changes directly in relation thereto.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, no cumulative losses or gains existed in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). As hedge accounting has not been applied to any of our open hedges at December 31, 2012, no associated losses or gains have been recorded within OCI.

Restructuring and Integration Activities

4.  RESTRUCTURING AND INTEGRATION ACTIVITIES

We recorded $1,615 in restructuring costs in 2012, including most notably, $1,007 related to equipment moving and other close-related costs and $286 for severance incurred in connection with the closure of our manufacturing facility in Texarkana, Arkansas. The remaining $322 represents holding costs related to facilities closed in prior years. As planned, we ceased all production at this facility in July 2012 and operations of this facility have been moved to other existing manufacturing facilities.

We incurred restructuring charges of $1,953 during both 2011 and 2010. Most notably, during the third quarter of 2011, we recorded $857 in severance costs for positions eliminated in connection with our realignment of our Canadian distribution and support operations. As part of this realignment, at the end of the fourth quarter of 2011, we vacated our then Toronto-based distribution facility, with a majority of our Canadian distribution being transitioned to our existing distribution facility in Wisconsin and a new, smaller Toronto-based distribution facility. In addition to the $857 in severance recorded in 2011, we also recorded $438 in connection with vacating and terminating the lease associated with the closed Toronto facility. Restructuring costs for both 2011 and 2010 also included lease termination and other holding costs related to facilities closed in prior years, consisting of one leased and one owned facility for which we continue to pay holding costs.

Our restructuring reserve was $1,245 and $3,139 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, recorded within accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities. The 2011 balance is comprised, in part, of the remaining $815 severance accrual primarily related to our Canadian re-alignment. The balance in the reserve for both 2012 and 2011 represents our estimate of the remaining liability existing relative to three closed properties under lease and which is equal to our remaining obligation under such lease reduced by estimated sublease rental income reasonably expected for the property. Accordingly, the liability may be increased or decreased in future periods as facts and circumstances change, including possible negotiation of a lease termination, sublease agreement, or changes in the related market in which the property is located.

Restructuring expense is not segregated by reportable segment as our operating segments share common production processes and manufacturing facilities, as discussed in Note 18 below.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

We have a $250,000, five-year revolving credit facility agreement, with an accordion feature that allows us to increase our borrowings by an additional $50,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). The Revolving Credit Facility, which expires on October 1, 2016, is an asset-based loan facility, with a $20,000 Canadian facility sublimit, and which is secured by substantially all of our assets, as further detailed below. We incurred $1,500 in fees and direct costs related to negotiating the Revolving Credit Facility in 2011. These respective fees and costs are being amortized over the life of the revolver. At December 31, 2012, we had $50,430 in borrowings under the facility, with $131,635 in remaining excess availability. At December 31, 2011, we had $30,000 in borrowings under the credit facility, with $120,288 in remaining excess availability. The $50,430 in borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility approximates fair value of such debt at December 31, 2012 (Level 2).

The interest rate charged on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility is based on our election of either the base rate (greater of the federal funds rate plus 0.5% and the lender’s prime rate) plus a range of 0.25% to 0.75% or the Eurodollar rate plus a range of 1.50% to 2.00%, in each case based on quarterly average excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility. In addition, we pay an unused line fee of between 0.25% and 0.50% based on quarterly average excess availability pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Pursuant to the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility, we are required to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0 to 1.0 for any month during which our excess availability under the Revolving Credit Facility falls below $30,000. Borrowing availability under the Revolving Credit Facility is limited to the lesser of (1) $250,000 or (2) the sum of 85% of eligible accounts receivable, 70% of eligible inventory, with a maximum amount of borrowing-base availability which may be generated from inventory of $150,000 for the U.S. portion and $12,000 Canadian for the Canadian portion, and an advance rate to be 75% of certain appraised real estate and 85% of certain appraised equipment and capped at $62,500, with a $15,000 sublimit for letters of credit.

The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by CCI International Inc. (“CCI International”), TRC (excluding TRC’s 100%-owned foreign subsidiary, TRC Honduras, S.A. de C.V.), Patco Electronics (“Patco”), and WE, each of which are 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries, and is secured by substantially all of our assets and the assets of each of CCI International, TRC, Patco, and WE, including accounts receivable, inventory and any other tangible and intangible assets (including real estate, machinery and equipment and intellectual property) as well as by a pledge of all the capital stock of CCI International, TRC, Patco and WE and 65% of the capital stock of our Canadian foreign subsidiary, but not our Chinese 100%-owned entity.

Our effective interest rate for borrowings made under the Revolving Credit Facility was 2.2% in 2012, as compared to 3.07 % in 2011, reflective of higher borrowings at the prime rate.

As of December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Revolving Credit Facility.

9% Senior Notes due 2018 (“Senior Notes”)

Our Senior Notes mature on February 15, 2018 and have an aggregate principal amount of $275,000 and a 9% coupon rate. Interest payments are due on February 15^th and August 15^th.

The Indenture relating to our Senior Notes contains customary covenants that limit us and our restricted subsidiaries with respect to, among other things, incurring additional indebtedness, making restricted payments, creating liens, paying dividends, consolidating, merging or selling substantially all of their assets, entering into sale and leaseback transactions, and entering into transaction with affiliates. Additionally, all our domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee the Revolving Credit Facility are required under the Indenture to guarantee our obligations under the Senior Notes. Following the acquisitions of TRC, Patco, and WE each became a guarantor subsidiary of our Revolving Credit Facility, and the 2018 Senior Notes.

Our Senior Notes were issued at a discount in 2010, resulting in proceeds of less than par value. This discount is being amortized to par value over the remaining term of the Senior Notes. As of December 31, 2012, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Senior Notes.

Our Indenture governing the Senior Notes and Revolving Credit Facility contains covenants that limit our ability to pay dividends.

Debt Issue Costs

We have incurred debt issuance costs in connection with our Senior Note issuances and our Revolving Credit Facility, including amendment fees related to the Revolving Credit Facility. These fees are being amortized over the remaining term of the Senior Notes and Revolving Credit Facility, respectively. Amortization of debt issuance costs was $1,677, $1,510 and $1,766 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Shareholder's Equity

12.  SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has a stock-based compensation plan for its directors, executives and certain key employees under which the grant of stock options and other share-based awards is authorized. In April 2008, an amended and restated plan was approved by shareholders that, among other things, added stock appreciation rights, restricted or unvested stock, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and incentive performance bonuses as available awards under the plan. In April 2011, this existing plan was amended to, among other things, expand the number of awards that may be issued, equal to 2,940 shares of stock. Total stock-based compensation expense was $1,235, $3,173 and $2,575 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, there was $300, $763 and $2,076, respectively, of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements that we expect will vest and be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.69, 1.28, and 1.8 years.

Stock Options

No stock options were issued in 2012 or 2011.

In 2010, we granted 150 stock options which have a ten-year life and vest over a four-year period in three equal installments beginning two years from the date of grant. We utilize the fair value method in accounting for stock-compensation expense, estimating the fair value of options granted under our plan at each related grant date using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Historically, we have determined the value of all stock options using the simplified method, as prescribed in the accounting guidance, due to our lack of sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate expected term and due to the limited period of time our equity shares have been publicly traded.

The following table sets forth information about the weighted-average fair value of options granted during 2010 utilizing the simplified method, and the weighted-average assumptions used for such grants:

	2010
Fair value of options at grant date (per share)	$	3.30
Dividend yield		0	%
Expected volatility		88.5	%
Risk-free interest rate		2.70	%
Expected term of options		6 years

Changes in stock options for 2012 were as follows:

	Shares			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Terms		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Outstanding on January 1, 2012		1,391		$	11.07		5.8	$	2,012
Granted		—			—		—		—
Exercised		(3	)		8.45		—		11
Forfeited or expired		—			—		—
Outstanding on December 31, 2012		1,388		$	11.09		4.8	$	2,352
At December 31, 2012:
Vested or expected to vest		1,372		$	11.17		4.8		2,271
Exercisable		517			5.66		5.8		1,803

In 2011 there were 15 stock option exercises with an intrinsic value of $45. There were no stock option exercises in 2010. Intrinsic value for stock options is defined as the difference between the current market value of the Company’s common stock and the exercise price of the stock option. When the current market value is less than the exercise price, there is no aggregate intrinsic value. We have no policy or plan to repurchase common shares to mitigate the dilutive impact of options.

As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had 1,374 and 1,372 vested stock options with an aggregate intrinsic value of $1,941 and $860, respectively.

Additional information regarding options outstanding as of December 31, 2012 is as follows:

Range of Exercise Prices	Options Outstanding		Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Terms
$0-$10		617	$	5.46		6.02
$10-$20		716	$	14.97		3.79
$20-$25		55	$	23.62		4.36

Stock Awards

In January 2012, the Company awarded unvested common shares to members of its Board of Directors. In total, non-management board members were awarded 55 unvested shares with an approximate aggregate fair value of $500. For the year-ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 we awarded 89 and 166 unvested shares with an approximate aggregate fair value of $560 and $557, respectively. One-third of the shares vest on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date. These awarded shares are participating securities which provide the recipient with both voting rights and, to the extent dividends, if any, are paid by the Company, non-forfeitable dividend rights with respect to such shares. For the year-ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 there were 303 and 131 vested common shares with a weighted-average fair value of $1,300 and $622, respectively.

Changes in nonvested shares for 2012 were as follows:

	Shares			Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2012		682		$	4.28
Granted		55			9.06
Vested		(179	)		4.16
Forfeited		—			—
Nonvested at December 31, 2012		558		$	4.79

In the first quarter of 2010, 517 performance shares were granted to certain members of management. These performance shares are convertible to stock, on a one-to-one basis, contingent upon future stock price performance. If, at any time up to ten years after the date of grant, the Company’s common stock attains three separate incrementally increasing stock price goals beginning with a price representing approximately 350% of the average stock price on the date of grant, a portion of the awards will vest. On July 7, 2011, the first tranche of shares reached their vesting price. As a result, 117 shares of common stock were issued on the respective date.

In addition, in the first quarter of 2010, 258 performance shares that settled in cash rather than stock were also granted to certain members of management. If, at any time up to ten years after the date of grant, the Company’s common stock attains three separate incrementally increasing stock price goals beginning with a price representing approximately 350% of the average stock price on the date of grant, a portion of the awards will vest. On July 7, 2011, the first tranche of these shares reached their vesting price. Accordingly, the equivalent of 58 shares of common stock was paid in cash on the respective date. The cash-settled shares are re-measured each balance sheet date using a Monte Carlo model and recorded as a liability. At December 31, 2012, these cash-settled shares were measured using an assumption of 84.6% volatility, and a risk-free rate of 1.21%, resulting in an estimated aggregate fair value of approximately $2,568, which is recorded to the stock compensation liability over the estimated derived service period (also estimated using a Monte Carlo model), which was approximately 0.7 years as of December 31, 2012.

Treasury Stock

On August 3, 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 500 shares of the Company’s common stock in open market or privately-negotiated transactions. The repurchase plan expires in August 2013. To date, we have purchased 426 shares pursuant to this repurchase program. There can be no assurance that any additional share purchases will be made. The number of shares actually purchased in future periods will depend on various factors, including limitations imposed by the Company’s debt instruments, the price of our common stock, overall market and business conditions, and management’s assessment of competing alternatives for capital deployment. In 2012, we repurchased 123 shares at a total cost of $1,129, including commissions, of common stock, including shares repurchased from employees of the Company that were withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations due upon vesting of a restricted stock award.

Dividends Paid

We declared and paid three cash dividends of $0.02 per share in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2012 totally $1,056. We declared a $0.02 per share dividend on March 5, 2013 payable March 30, 2013 for shareholders of record as of March 15, 2013.

17.  OTHER INCOME (LOSS)

In 2012 we recorded a loss of $214 primarily related to the impact of exchange rate changes on our Canadian subsidiary. In 2011, we recorded a loss of $300 as compared to a gain of $230 in 2010, primarily reflecting the impact of exchange rate changes on our Canadian subsidiary.

Additionally, in 2011, in accordance with our purchase accounting relating to TRC, we recorded an accrual of $378, reflecting our best estimate of TRC’s obligation under the terms of an earn-out provision at the time of our acquisition of TRC. During the fourth quarter of 2011, it was determined that this liability was no longer necessary, and the accrual was reversed with a corresponding offset recorded within other income.

Nature of Operations, Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coleman Cable, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company,” “Coleman,” “we,” “us” or “our”). We are a manufacturer and supplier of electrical wire and cable products for consumer, commercial and industrial applications, with operations primarily in the United States and, to a lesser degree, in Honduras and Canada.

We operate our business through three reportable business segments: (1) Distribution, (2) Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”) and (3) Engineered Solutions. Our reportable segments are a function of how we are organized internally to market to customer groups and measure our financial performance. The distribution and OEM segments serve customers within the distribution, retail, and OEM businesses. Our Engineered Solutions segment, which includes the remainder of TRC’s (see Note 2) legacy business, primarily its military and specialty-vehicle business, and WE, which was acquired in 2012 (see Note 18).

All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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 period. Estimates are required for several matters, including inventory valuation, determining the allowance for uncollectible accounts and accruals for sales returns, allowances and incentives, depreciation and amortization, accounting for business combinations, and the recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Summarized below is the activity for our accounts receivable allowance account:

	2012			2011			2010
Balance — January 1	$	2,811		$	2,491		$	2,565
Provisions		242			475			45
Write-offs and credit allowances, net of recovery		(8	)		(144	)		(137	)
Foreign currency translation adjustment		1			(11	)		18
Balance — December 31	$	3,046		$	2,811		$	2,491

Revenue Recognition

Our sales represent sales of our product inventory. We recognize sales when products are shipped to customers and the title and risk of loss pass to the customer in accordance with the terms of sale, pricing is fixed and determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Billings for shipping and handling costs are recorded as sales and related costs are included in cost of goods sold. Provisions for payment discounts, product returns and customer incentives and allowances, which reduce revenue, are estimated based upon historical experience and other relevant factors and are recorded within the same period that the revenue is recognized as a reduction of sales.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold is primarily comprised of direct materials, labor and overhead costs (including depreciation expense) consumed in the manufacturing of goods sold. Cost of goods sold also includes the cost of direct sourced merchandise sold, as well as our distribution costs, including the cost of inbound freight, internal transfers, warehousing and shipping and handling.

Advertising Expenses

We account for advertising expenditures as expense in the period incurred. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, advertising expenses were $3,131, $2,921 and $2,325, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities of our Canadian subsidiary are translated to U.S. dollars at fiscal year-end exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a component of shareholders’ equity. Income and expense items are translated at exchange rates prevailing throughout the year. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates their carrying amounts. All of our cash and cash equivalents qualify as Level 1 fair values under the fair value hierarchy.

Inventories

Inventories include material, labor and overhead costs and are recorded at the lower of cost or market on the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) basis. We estimate losses for excess and obsolete inventory through an assessment of its net realizable value based on the aging of the inventory and an evaluation of the likelihood of recovering the inventory costs based on anticipated demand and selling price.

Assets Held for Sale

Assets held for sale consist primarily of property related to closed facilities that are currently being marketed for disposal. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost reduced by accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is recognized over the assets’ estimated useful lives, ranging from 3 to 20 years, using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and accelerated methods for tax reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives of buildings range from 9 to 20 years; leasehold improvements have a useful life equal to the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the lease term; and the estimated useful lives of machinery, fixtures and equipment range from 3 to 8 years.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We are required to assess goodwill for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. Our annual evaluation for potential goodwill impairment is performed as of December 31st of each year. Our other intangible assets primarily consist of acquired customer relationships and trademarks and trade names, all of which have finite or determinable useful lives. Accordingly, these finite-lived assets are amortized to reflect the estimated pattern of economic benefit consumed, either on a straight-line or accelerated basis over the estimated periods benefited. See Note 3 for information regarding our asset impairment analyses.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We test the carrying amount of our long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if, in performing the impairment review, it is determined that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss recorded is equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value. See Note 3 for information regarding our asset impairment analyses.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in our consolidated financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which we expect the differences to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period of the enactment date.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance stipulates the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. This guidance provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold. The rules also provide guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

We have not recorded any reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties, or uncertain income tax positions at either December 31, 2012 or 2011. In accordance with this guidance, we have adopted a policy under which, if required to be recognized in the future, we will classify interest related to the underpayment of income taxes as a component of interest expense and we will classify any related penalties in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

Derivatives and Other Financial Instruments, and Concentrations of Credit Risk

We are exposed to certain commodity price risks including fluctuations in the price of copper. From time-to-time, we enter into derivative contracts, including copper futures contracts, to mitigate the potential impact of fluctuations in the price of copper on our pricing terms with certain customers. All of the copper futures contracts we utilize are tied to the COMEX copper market index and the value of such contracts varies directly with underlying changes in the related COMEX copper futures prices. We recognize all of our derivative instruments on our balance sheet at fair value, and record changes in the fair value of such contracts within cost of goods sold in the statement of operations as they occur unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. For those hedging relationships that meet such criteria, and for which hedge accounting is applied, we formally document our hedge relationships, including identifying the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives involved. We have no open commodity hedge positions at December 31, 2012 or 2011 to which hedge accounting is being applied. However, all of our hedges for which hedge accounting has been applied in the past qualified and were designated as cash flow hedges. We assess both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in these cash flow hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows associated with the hedged item. The effective portion of the related gains or losses on these derivative instruments are recorded in shareholders’ equity as a component of Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”), and are subsequently recognized in income or expense in the period in which the related hedged items are recognized. The ineffective portion of these hedges (extent to which a change in the value of the derivative contract does not perfectly offset the change in value of the designated hedged item) is immediately recognized in cost of goods sold. We calculate the fair value of our copper contracts quarterly based on the quoted market price for the same or similar financial instruments. Our derivatives have been determined to be Level 1 under the fair value hierarchy due to available market prices. As our derivatives are part of a legally enforceable master netting arrangement, for purposes of presentation within our consolidated balance sheets, gross values are netted and classified within prepaid expenses and other current assets or accrued liabilities depending upon our aggregate net position at the balance sheet date. Cash settlements related to derivatives are included in the operating section of the consolidated statement of cash flows, with prepaid expenses and other current assets or accrued liabilities, depending on the position. The Company’s derivatives are disclosed in Note 10.

Financial instruments also include other working capital items and debt. The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable approximate fair value given the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair value of the Company’s debt is disclosed in Note 7.

Concentrations of credit risk arising from trade accounts receivable are due to selling to a number of customers in a particular industry. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ and counterparties’ financial condition and obtains collateral or other security when appropriate. No customer accounted for more than 10% of sales or accounts receivable as of December 31, 2012, 2011, or 2010.

Cash and cash equivalents are placed with financial institutions, which we believe to have adequate credit standings.

Self-Insurance

We are partially self-insured for health benefit costs for covered individuals at a majority of our facilities. The accrual for our self-insurance liability is determined by management and is based on claims filed and an estimate of actual claims incurred but not yet reported.

Stock-based Compensation

We recognize compensation expense over the related vesting period for each share-based award we grant, based on the fair value of the instrument at grant date for those awards to be settled in stock, and based on the fair value of the instrument at the balance sheet date for those awards to be settled in cash. Our stock-based compensation arrangements are further detailed in Note 12.

Earnings per Common Share

We compute earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Our participating securities are our grants of service-condition unvested common shares, as such awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. Security holders are not obligated to fund any losses, and therefore participating securities are not allocated a portion of any net loss in any period for which a net loss is recorded. Basic earnings per common share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted earnings per common share include the dilutive effect of unexercised stock options and the effect of unvested common shares when dilutive.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-28 — “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts” (“ASU No. 2010-28”)

ASU No. 2010-28 affects all entities that have recognized goodwill and have one or more reporting units whose carrying amount for purposes of performing Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test is zero or negative. The amendments in this update modify Step 1 so that for those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist. The qualitative factors are consistent with existing guidance, which requires that goodwill of a reporting unit be tested for impairment between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. The accounting update was effective for a reporting entity’s first annual reporting period that begins after December 2010, for interim periods within that first annual reporting period and for interim and annual reporting periods thereafter. This update, which was effective for the first quarter of 2011, did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-29 — “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations” (“ASU No. 2010-29”)

ASU No. 2010-29 amends existing guidance for presenting pro forma results of business combinations. The amendments in this update specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The amendments also expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The accounting update was effective for a reporting entity’s business combinations occurring beginning on or after the entity’s first annual reporting period after December 15, 2010. The Company has applied the provisions of this update for all material business combinations that occurred after January 1, 2011.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 – “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU No. 2011-04”)

ASU No. 2011-04 generally provides a uniform framework for fair value measurements and related disclosures between GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. This update, which was effective for the first quarter of 2012, did not have a material impact on the Company’s disclosure requirements.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 – “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU No. 2011-05”)

ASU No. 2011-05 amends existing guidance by allowing only two options for presenting the components of net income and other comprehensive income: (1) in a single continuous financial statement, statement of comprehensive income or (2) in two separate but consecutive financial statements, consisting of an income statement followed by a separate statement of other comprehensive income. Also, items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income must be presented on the face of the financial statements. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2012. The Company has presented comprehensive income using two separate but consecutive financial statements.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-08, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU No. 2011-08”)

ASU No. 2011-08 amends existing guidance by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test described in ASC 350. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, an entity determines it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then performing the two-step impairment test is unnecessary. This update, which was effective for the year ending December 31, 2012, did not impact our annual goodwill impairment assessment as the Company chose to follow quantitative guidelines and apply a Step 1 test.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 – “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU No. 2011-11”)

ASU No. 2011-11 amends existing guidance by enhancing disclosures required by U.S. GAAP by requiring improved information about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either (1) offset in accordance with either Section 201-20-45 or Section 815-10-45 or (2) subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with either Section 210-20-45 or Section 815-10-45. This information will enable users of an entity’s financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain derivatives, sale and repurchase agreements and reverse sale repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements. ASU No. 2011-11 requires retrospective application, and it is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2011-11 and the clarifying amendments included in ASU 2013-01 will have on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-04 – “Technical Corrections and Improvements” (“ASU No. 2012 -04”)

ASU No. 2012-04 contains amendments to clarify the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the ASC that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create significant administrative cost to most entities. Additionally, the amendments are intended to make the ASC easier to understand and the fair value measurement guidance easier to apply by eliminating inconsistencies and providing needed clarifications. The amendments that do not have transition guidance were effective upon issuance. The amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will be effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The amendments that were effective immediately and the adoption of amendments that are subject to the transition guidance will not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-02 – “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU No. 2013 -02”)

ASA No. 2013-02 requires entities to disclose additional information about reclassification adjustments, including (1) change in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) and significant items reclassified out of AOCI. The new disclosure requirements do not amend any existing requirements for reporting net income or Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). An entity is required to disaggregate the total change of each component OCI and separately present (1) reclassification adjustments and (2) current-period OCI. Additionally, the amendments requires an entity to present information about significant items reclassified out of AOCI by component either (1) on the face of the statement where net income is presented of (2) as a separate disclosure in the notes to the financial statements. The ASU does not change the current requirements for interim financial statement reporting or comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU No. 2013-02 will have on its financial statements but does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Business Segment Information

Dec. 31, 2012

Business Segment Information

18.  BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

We have three reportable segments: (1) Distribution, (2) OEM and (3) Engineered Solutions. Our reportable segments are a function of how we are organized internally to market our customer groups and measure our financial performance. The Distribution and OEM segments serve customers within the distribution, retail, and OEM businesses. Our Engineered Solutions segment was created as the direct result of our 2011 acquisition of TRC and also includes WE, which was acquired in 2012. We integrated a portion of TRC’s legacy business into our Distribution segment during 2011. The remainder of TRC’s legacy business, primarily its military and specialty vehicle business, is reported within the Engineered Solutions segment.

We have aggregated our operating segments, as set forth in the table below, into the above-noted reportable business segments in accordance with the applicable criteria set forth in the relevant accounting rules. Our operating segments have common production processes and manufacturing facilities. Accordingly, we do not identify our net assets to our operating segments. Thus, we do not report capital expenditures at the segment level. Additionally, depreciation expense is not allocated to our segments but is included in our manufacturing overhead cost pools and is absorbed into product cost (and inventory) as each product passes through our manufacturing work centers. Accordingly, as products are sold across multiple segments, it is impracticable to determine the amount of depreciation expense included in the operating results of each operating segment.

Revenues by business segment represent sales to unaffiliated customers and no one customer or group of customers under common control accounted for more than 10% of consolidated net sales. No sales were made among reportable segments for the periods ended December 31, 2012, 2011, and 2010.

In addition, we had a total of approximately $307 and $188 in tangible long-lived assets in Canada at December 31, 2012 and, 2011, respectively. We had $1,541 and $1,599 in tangible long-lived assets in Honduras at December 31, 2012 and 2011. In addition, we did not have any significant sales outside of the U.S. and Canada in 2012, 2011 or 2010.

Earnings Per Share

11.  EARNINGS PER SHARE

We compute earnings per share using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities. Our participating securities are our grants of time-based vesting restricted stock, as such awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends. Security holders are not obligated to fund the Company’s losses, and therefore, participating securities are not allocated a portion of these losses in periods where a net loss is recorded. As of December 31, 2012, there were 176 shares of time-based vesting restricted stock outstanding.

For the respective years ended December 31, the impact of participating securities on net income allocated to common shareholders and the dilutive effect of share-based awards outstanding on weighted average shares outstanding was as follows:

To the extent stock options and awards are anti-dilutive, they are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Awards with respect to 771, 771 and 1,121 common shares were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive.
