CREDIT FACILITIES |
NOTE 6— CREDIT FACILITIES
On
October 21, 2008, the Company entered into a $75,000 asset
based credit facility with a financial institution which had an
initial expiration date of October 21, 2010. On July 16,
2010, the credit agreement was amended to increase the amount of
credit advances and letter of credit obligations from an aggregate
of $75,000 to $100,000 and extend the term of the credit facility
to July 16, 2013. In addition, the base rate for the revolving
loan amount was amended to the greater of (1) the Wells Fargo
prime rate; (2) the LIBOR plus 1.00% and (3) the Federal
Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%. Prior to the amendment, the
base rate was the Wells Fargo prime rate. In connection with
the amendment, the Company paid a renewal fee of $250. On
December 8, 2010, the credit agreement was amended and
restated to allow for borrowings by the Company’s wholly
owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom. Cash advances and the
issuance of letters of credit under the credit facility are made at
the lender’s discretion. The letters of credit issued under
this facility are furnished by the lender to third parties for the
principal purpose of securing minimum guarantees under liquidation
services contracts more fully described in Note 2(c). All
outstanding loans, letters of credit, and interest are due on the
expiration date which is generally within 180 days of funding. The
credit facility is secured by the proceeds received for services
rendered in connection with liquidation service contracts pursuant
to which any outstanding loan or letters of credit are issued and
the assets that are sold at liquidation related to such contract.
The credit facility also provides for success fees in the amount of
5% to 20% of the profits earned on the liquidation contract, if
any, as defined in the credit facility. There was no interest
expense under this credit facility for the
three months ended June 30,
2011. Interest expense totaled $115 for the three months
ended June 30, 2010 and $15 (including success fees of $15) and
$187 (including success fees of $50) for the six months ended June
30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. There was no outstanding balance
under this credit facility at June 30, 2011 and December 31,
2010.
The
credit agreement governing the credit facility contains certain
covenants, including covenants that limit or restrict the
Company’s ability to incur liens, incur indebtedness, make
investments, dispose of assets, make certain restricted payments,
merge or consolidate and enter into certain transactions with
affiliates. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the
credit agreement, the lender may cease making loans, terminate the
credit agreement and declare all amounts outstanding under the
credit agreement to be immediately due and payable. The credit
agreement specifies a number of events of default (some of which
are subject to applicable grace or cure periods), including, among
other things, nonpayment defaults, covenant defaults,
cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and
insolvency defaults, and material judgment defaults.
On
May 17, 2011, GAAV entered into a Loan and Security Agreement
(Accounts Receivable Line of Credit) (the “Line of
Credit”) with BFI Business Finance (“BFI”). The
Line of Credit is collateralized by the accounts receivable of GAAV
and allows for borrowings in the amount of 85% of the net face
amount of prime accounts, as defined in the Line of Credit, with
maximum borrowings not to exceed $2,000. The interest rate under
the Line of Credit is the prime rate plus 2%, payable monthly in
arrears. The Line of Credit expires on May 16, 2012, and may
be extended for successive periods equal to one year, unless GAAV
gives BFI written notice of its intent to terminate the Line of
Credit at least thirty days prior to the anniversary date of the
Line of Credit. BFI has the right to terminate the Line of Credit
at its sole discretion upon giving sixty days’ prior written
notice to GAAV. In connection with the Line of Credit, GAG, LLC
entered into a limited continuing guaranty of GAAV’s
obligations under the Line of Credit. Proceeds from the Line of
Credit were used to pay off GAAV’s borrowings under the
Factoring Agreement as more fully described in Note
3. Interest expense totaled $15 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2011. The maximum borrowings
amount under the line of credit was temporarily increased to allow
for borrowing which amount to $2,290 at June 30, 2011.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
Over
the past years, the Company’s growth has been funded through
a combination of profits generated from operations and more
recently from proceeds received from AAMAC in connection with the
Acquisition. During the year ended December 31, 2010 and
six months ended June 30, 2011, the operating profits generated by
the Company’s Auction and Liquidation segment have been
negatively impacted due to fewer retail liquidation engagements
conducted by the Company. As economic conditions and credit
markets have improved for retailers, the number of large retail
liquidation engagements in the auction and liquidation industry has
decreased from historical levels. These factors, in addition
to the interest expense on the $53,893 of subordinated, unsecured
promissory notes payable to the Great American Members and Phantom
Equityholders, have resulted in the net use of $3,143 and $6,083 of
cash from operations during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and
year ended December 31, 2010, respectively.
On
May 4, 2010, the Company entered into individual
amendments that reduced the interest rate from 12.0% per annum
to 3.75% per annum for $52,419 of the $55,617 principal amount
outstanding of the subordinated, unsecured promissory notes payable
to the Great American Members and Phantom Equityholders. In
addition, the maturity date for $46,996 of the $55,617 principal
amount outstanding of the subordinated, unsecured promissory notes
payable to the Great American Members was extended to July 31,
2018, subject to annual prepayments based upon the Company’s
cash flow subject to certain limitations as provided in the
amendment to the notes payable, including, without limitation, the
Company’s maintenance of a minimum adjusted cash balance of
$20,000. The terms of these amendments significantly reduce
the annual cash required to service this debt. On October 27,
2010, the Company entered into individual waivers related to an
aggregate of $51,334 of the $53,893 principal amount outstanding of
the subordinated, unsecured promissory notes payable to the Great
American Members and Phantom Equityholders, whereby the noteholders
agreed to permit the Company to defer payment of interest payments
due on each of October 31, 2010, January 31, 2011,
and April 30, 2011 until July 31, 2011.
In addition to amending the
subordinated, unsecured promissory notes payable to the Great
American Members and Phantom Equityholders, the Company implemented
cost reduction measures in September 2010 which resulted in a
reduction in employee headcount, reduction in base salaries to
senior executives, and other cost savings measures. On July 26,
2011 and August 3, 2011, the Company entered into individual
waivers which extended the payment date for $1,418 of the $1,724 of
principal amount originally due and payable on July 31,
2011. Of the $1,418 principal amount originally due on
July 31, 2011, two of the Phantom Equityholders extended the
payment date for an aggregate amount $649 until August 31,
2011, one of the Phantom Equityholders extended the payment for an
aggregate amount of $297 until October 15, 2011, and the two
other Phantom Equityholders extended the payment date for an
aggregate amount $472 until December 15,
2011. Interest will accrue at each of the notes
respective note rates until the principal amount is
paid. The Company continues to have the right to prepay
the extended amounts prior to extended due dates. In
addition, effective July 31, 2011, the Company entered into
individual amendments that increased the principal amount of the
promissory notes with Andy Gumaer and Harvey Yellen, the two former
Great American Members, both of whom are executive officers and
directors of the Company, by an aggregate amount of $1,762 of
accrued interest that was originally due on July 31, 2011. The
addition to the principal amount will accrue interest at the note
rate of 3.75% and continue to be subject to annual prepayments
based upon the Company’s cash flow and the maintenance of a
minimum adjusted cash balance as provided in the notes prior to the
capitalization of the accrued interest. As a result, the principal
balance of the promissory notes to the two former Great American
Members increased from an aggregate amount of $46,996 to
$48,759.
On
July 31, 2011, the Company entered into individual waivers which
extended the payment date for $1,103 of the $1,724 of principal
amount originally due and payable on July 31, 2011 to December 15,
2011. The $1,103 will accrue interest at the note rate
of $3.75% and may be prepaid at the Company’s option prior to
December 15, 2011. In addition, on July 31, 2011, the
Company entered into individual amendments that (a) reduced the
interest rate on the principal outstanding of the subordinated
unsecured promissory note amount of $1,335 with one of the Phantom
Equityholders, and (b) increased the principal amount of the
promissory notes with the former Great American Members by the
$1,762 of accrued interest that was originally due on July 31, 2011
($1,613 accrued at June 30, 2011). The addition to the
principal amount will accrued interest at the note rate of 3.75%
and be subject to annual prepayments based upon the Company’s
cash flow and the maintenance of a minimum adjusted cash balance as
discussed above.
As
of June 30, 2011, the Company had $17,390 in cash and $2,290 of
borrowings outstanding under the accounts receivable revolving
credit facility. The Company believes that its current cash
and cash equivalents, funds available under its asset based credit
facility and cash expected to be generated from operating
activities will be sufficient to meet its working capital and
capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months.
The Company continues to monitor its financial performance to
ensure sufficient liquidity to fund operations.
The
condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries: AAMAC, GAG, LLC,
Great American Group Advisory & Valuation Services, LLC
(“GAAV”), Great American Group Machinery &
Equipment, LLC (“GAME”), Great American Group Real
Estate, LLC, Great American Venture, LLC, Great American Group
Energy Equipment, LLC (“GAGEE”), Great American Group
Intellectual Property Advisors, LLC, GA Capital, LLC, GA Asset
Advisors Limited, Great American Group WF, LLC, and Great American
Group CS, LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated upon consolidation.
Effective
January 1, 2010, new consolidation guidance became effective
relating to accounting for Variable Interest Entities
(“VIE”). These changes require an enterprise to perform
an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable
interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a
variable interest entity; to require ongoing reassessments of
whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE; to
eliminate the solely quantitative approach previously required for
determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE; to add an additional
reconsideration event for determining whether an entity is a VIE
when any changes in facts and circumstances occur such that holders
of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from
voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the
activities of the entity that most significantly impact the
entity’s economic performance; and to require enhanced
disclosures that will provide users of financial statements with
more transparent information about an enterprise’s
involvement in a VIE. As more fully described in Note 13, the
Company determined that its’ equity investment and
subordinated financing arrangements with Great American Real
Estate, LLC (“GARE”), a joint venture 50% owned by the
Company and Kelly Capital, LLC, changes the status of GARE to a VIE
that does not require consolidation in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements. The adoption of these changes
had no material impact on the Company’s condensed
consolidated financial statements.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim
financial information and in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include
all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual
financial statements as permitted under applicable rules and
regulations. In the opinion of management, all normal
recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. The results of operations for the
six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the year ending December 31,
2011.
The
preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in
accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. Actual results
could differ from those estimates.
Revenues
are recognized in accordance with the accounting guidance when
persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the related services
have been provided, the fee is fixed or determinable, and
collection is reasonably assured.
Revenues
in the Valuation and Appraisal segment are primarily comprised of
fees for valuation and appraisal services. Revenues are recognized
upon the delivery of the completed services to the related
customers and collection of the fee is reasonably assured. Revenues
in the Valuation and Appraisal segment also include contractual
reimbursable costs which totaled $621 and $594 for the three months
ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $1,190 and $1,228
for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Revenues
in the Auction and Liquidation segment are comprised of
(i) commissions and fees earned on the sale of goods at
auctions and liquidations; (ii) revenues from auction and
liquidation services contracts where the Company guarantees a
minimum recovery value for goods being sold at auction or
liquidation; (iii) revenue from the sale of goods that are
purchased by the Company for sale at auction or liquidation sales
events; (iv) fees earned from the origination of loans; and
(v) revenues from contractual reimbursable expenses incurred
in connection with auction and liquidation contracts.
Commission
and fees earned on the sale of goods at auction and liquidation
sales are recognized when evidence of an arrangement exists, the
sales price has been determined, title has passed to the buyer and
the buyer has assumed the risks of ownership, and collection is
reasonably assured. The commission and fees earned for these
services are included in revenues in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations. Under these types of arrangements,
revenues also include contractual reimbursable costs which totaled
$385 and $435 for three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, and $1,332 and $3,110 for the six months ended June
30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Revenues
earned from auction and liquidation services contracts where the
Company guarantees a minimum recovery value for goods being sold at
auction or liquidation are recognized based on proceeds received.
The Company records proceeds received from these types of
engagements first as a reduction of contractual reimbursable
expenses, second as a recovery of its guarantee and thereafter as
revenue, subject to such revenue meeting the criteria of having
been fixed or determinable. Contractual reimbursable expenses and
amounts advanced to customers for minimum guarantees are initially
recorded as advances against customer contracts in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets. If, during the auction or liquidation
sale, the Company determines that the proceeds from the sale will
not meet the minimum guaranteed recovery value as defined in the
auction or liquidation services contract, the Company accrues a
loss on the contract in the period that the loss becomes
known.
The
Company also evaluates revenue from auction and liquidation
contracts in accordance with the accounting guidance to determine
whether to report auction and liquidation segment revenue on a
gross or net basis. The Company has determined that it acts as an
agent in a substantial majority of its auction and liquidation
services contracts and therefore reports the auction and
liquidation revenues on a net basis.
Revenues
from the sale of goods are recorded gross and are recognized in the
period in which the sale of goods held for sale or auction are
completed, title to the property passes to the purchaser and the
Company has fulfilled its obligations with respect to the
transaction. These revenues are primarily the result of the Company
acquiring title to merchandise with the intent of selling the items
at auction or for augmenting liquidation sales.
Fees
earned from the origination of loans where the Company provides
capital advisory services are recognized in the period earned, the
fee is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably
assured.
In the normal course of business, the Company will enter into
collaborative arrangements with other merchandise liquidators to
collaboratively execute auction and liquidation contracts. The
Company’s collaborative arrangements specifically include
contractual agreements with other liquidation agents in which the
Company and such other liquidation agents actively participate in
the performance of the liquidation services and are exposed to the
risks and rewards of the liquidation engagement. The
Company’s participation in collaborative arrangements
including its rights and obligations under each collaborative
arrangement can vary. Revenues from collaborative arrangements are
recorded net based on the proceeds received from the liquidation
engagement. Amounts paid to participants in the collaborative
arrangements are reported separately as direct costs of revenues.
Revenue from collaborative arrangements in which the Company is not
the majority participant is recorded net based on the
Company’s share of proceeds received. There were $584 of
revenues and $459 of direct cost of services subject to
collaborative arrangements during the three months ended June 30,
2011, $1,804 of revenues and $1,130 of direct cost of
services subject to collaborative arrangements during the six
months ended June 30, 2011. There were no revenues and
expenses subject to collaborative arrangements during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2010.
Direct
cost of services relate to service and fee revenues. The costs
consist of employee compensation and related payroll benefits,
travel expenses, the cost of consultants assigned to
revenue-generating activities and direct expenses billable to
clients in the Valuation and Appraisal segment. Direct costs of
services include participation in profits under collaborative
arrangements in which the Company is a majority participant. Direct
costs of services also include the cost of consultants and other
direct expenses related to auction and liquidation contracts
pursuant to commission and fee based arrangements in the Auction
and Liquidation segment. Direct cost of services does not include
an allocation of the Company’s overhead costs.
The
Company’s activities in the Auction and Liquidation segment
are executed frequently with, and on behalf of, distressed
customers and secured creditors. Concentrations of credit risk can
be affected by changes in economic, industry, or geographical
factors. The Company seeks to control its credit risk and potential
risk concentration through risk management activities that limit
the Company’s exposure to losses on any one specific
liquidation services contract or concentration within any one
specific industry. To mitigate the exposure to losses on any one
specific liquidation services contract, the Company sometimes
conducts operations with third parties through collaborative
arrangements. Revenues from one liquidation service contract in the
United Kingdom represented 6.7% of total revenues during the six
months ended June 30, 2011.
The
Company maintains cash in various federally insured banking
institutions. The account balances at each institution periodically
exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s
(“FDIC”) insurance coverage, and as a result, there is
a concentration of credit risk related to amounts in excess of FDIC
insurance coverage. The Company has not experienced any losses in
such accounts. The Company also has substantial cash balances from
proceeds received from auctions and liquidation engagements that
are distributed to parties in accordance with the collaborative
arrangements.
The
Company recognizes deferred tax liabilities and assets for the
expected future tax consequences of events that have been included
in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax
liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference
between the financial statement basis and tax basis of assets and
liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which
the differences are expected to reverse. The Company estimates the
degree to which tax assets and credit carryforwards will result in
a benefit based on expected profitability by tax jurisdiction. A
valuation allowance for such tax assets and loss carryforwards is
provided when it is determined to be more likely than not that the
benefit of such deferred tax asset will not be realized in future
periods. Tax benefits of operating loss carryforwards are evaluated
on an ongoing basis, including a review of historical and projected
future operating results, the eligible carryforward period, and
other circumstances. If it becomes more likely than not that a tax
asset will be used, the related valuation allowance on such assets
would be reduced.
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash
equivalents.
Accounts
receivable represents amounts due from the Company’s
valuation and appraisal customers. The Company maintains an
allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in
its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required
allowance, management utilizes a specific customer identification
methodology. Management also considers historical losses adjusted
for current market conditions and the customers’ financial
condition and the current receivables aging and current payment
patterns. Account balances are charged off against the allowance
after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential
for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any
off-balance sheet credit exposure related to its customers. There
was no bad debt expense during the six months ended June 30, 2011
and bad debt expense totaled $45 for the six months ended June 30,
2010. Bad debt expense is included as a component of selling,
general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed
consolidated statement of operations.
Goods
held for sale or auction are stated at the lower of cost,
determined by the specific-identification method, or
market.
Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets. Property and equipment held under capital
leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of
the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Property and
equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of
minimum lease payments. Depreciation and
amortization expense was $226 and $195 for the three months ended
June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $439 and $375 for
the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively.
The
Company accounts for goodwill and intangible assets in accordance
with the accounting guidance which requires that goodwill and other
intangibles with indefinite lives be tested for impairment annually
or on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that the
fair value of an asset has decreased below its carrying
value.
Goodwill
includes (i) the excess of the purchase price over the fair
value of net assets acquired in a business combination described in
Note 5 and (ii) an increase for the subsequent acquisition of
noncontrolling interests during the year ended December 31,
2007 (also see Note 5). The Codification requires that goodwill be
tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating
segment or one level below an operating segment). Application of
the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the
identification of reporting units, assigning assets and liabilities
to reporting units, assigning goodwill to reporting units, and
determining the fair value. The Company operates two reporting
units, which are the same as its reporting segments described in
Note 14. Significant judgment is required to estimate the fair
value of reporting units which includes estimating future cash
flows, determining appropriate discount rates and other
assumptions. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could
materially affect the determination of fair value and/or goodwill
impairment.
The
Company reviewed its reporting units for possible goodwill
impairment by comparing the fair values of each of the reporting
units to the carrying value of their respective net assets. If the
fair values exceed the carrying values of the net assets, no
goodwill impairment is deemed to exist. If the fair values of the
reporting units do not exceed the carrying values of the net
assets, goodwill is tested for impairment and written down to its
implied value if it is determined to be impaired. Based on a review
of the fair value of the reporting units, no impairment is deemed
to exist as of December 31, 2010.
In
accordance with the Codification, the Company reviews the carrying
value of its amortizable intangibles and other long-lived assets
for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by
comparing the carrying amount of the asset or asset group to the
undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected
to generate. If the undiscounted cash flows of such assets are less
than the carrying amount, the impairment to be recognized is
measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset or
asset group, if any, exceeds its fair market value. No impairment
was deemed to exist as of December 31, 2010.
On
May 6, 2011, the Company received a $2,598 note
receivable from a third party as part of the proceeds
from the sale of certain wholesale and industrial machinery
and equipment at an auction. The note is collateralized
by the wholesale and industrial machinery and
equipment. The note receivable bears interest at a rate
of prime rate plus 3% per annum (6.0% at June 30, 2011). In
connection with the issuance of the note receivable, the Company
recorded a discount in the amount of $189 to reflect a fair market
value rate on the note of 8.0%. Interest at the note
rate of prime plus 3% is payable monthly and the principal amount
of the note receivable is due and payable upon maturity on May 5,
2016.
On
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the new accounting
guidance and all other guidance related to fair value measurements
of nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are
recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements
on a nonrecurring basis.
The
Company records mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests
that were issued after November 5, 2003 at fair value (see
Note 12(a)) with fair value determined in accordance with the
Codification. The following table below presents information about
the Company’s mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests
that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30,
2011 and December 31, 2010 which are categorized using the
three levels of fair value hierarchy. In general, fair values
determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) for
identical instruments that are highly liquid, observable and
actively traded in over-the-counter markets. Fair values determined
by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included
in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for
similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical
or similar instruments in markets that are not active and
model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable and can be
corroborated by market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs
that are supported by little or no market activity and that are
significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. In
certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into
different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the
level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value
measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value
measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in
its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to
the asset or liability.
The
following tables present information on the liabilities measured
and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011
and December 31, 2010.
The
Company determined the fair value of mandatorily redeemable
noncontrolling interests described above based on the issuance of
similar interest for cash, references to industry comparables, and
relied, in part, on information obtained from appraisal reports
prepared by outside specialists.
The
carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial
statements for cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts
payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities
approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these
instruments. The carrying amounts of the notes payable (including
credit lines used to finance liquidation engagements), long-term
debt and capital lease obligations approximate fair value because
the contractual interest rates or effective yields of such
instruments are consistent with current market rates of interest
for instruments of comparable credit risk. The adoption of the new
accounting guidance for fair value measurements did not have a
material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements.
The
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets do not include
fiduciary funds, which are held by the Company on behalf of clients
in connection with the administration of loans in the performance
of capital advisory services and which amounted to $334 and $6,945
at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010,
respectively.
Other comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is
comprised of net loss of $2,249 and loss from foreign currency
translation adjustment of $130 resulting in a total comprehensive
loss of $2,379.
In
December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update
(“ASU”) 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 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill
impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying
amounts by requiring an entity to perform Step 2 of the goodwill
impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill
impairment exists. This update will be effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this standard
did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial position and results of operation.
In
May 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Fair Value
Measurement (Topic 820) – Amendments to Achieve Fair Value
Measurement and
Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS.” This
ASU addresses fair value measurement and disclosure requirements
within Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic
820 for the purpose of providing consistency and common meaning
between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Generally, this ASU is
not intended to change the application of the rquirmenets in Topic
820. Rather, this ASU primarily changes the wording to describe
many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value or
for disclosing information about fair value
measurements. This ASU is effective for periods
beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this
standard is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial position and results of
operation.

On
May 29, 2008, GAGEE entered into a credit agreement with
Garrison Special Opportunities Fund LP and Gage Investment Group
LLC (collectively, the “Lenders”) to finance the
purchase of certain machinery and equipment to be sold at auction
or liquidation. The principal amount of the loan was $12,000 and
borrowings bore interest at a rate of 20% per annum. The loan
is collateralized by the machinery and equipment which were
purchased with the proceeds from the loan. GAGEE was required to
make principal and interest payments from proceeds from the sale of
the machinery and equipment. GAGEE is a special purpose entity
created to purchase the machinery and equipment, whose assets
consist only of the machinery and equipment in question and whose
liabilities are limited to the Lenders’ note and certain
operational expenses related to this transaction. GAG, LLC
guaranteed GAGEE’s liabilities to the Lenders up to a maximum
of $1,200. The original maturity date of the loan was
May 29, 2009; however, GAGEE exercised its right to extend the
maturity date for 120 days until September 26, 2009. A fee of
$180 was paid in connection with the extension. On
September 26, 2009, the note payable became due and
payable.
On
October 8, 2009, GAGEE and GAG, LLC entered into a Forbearance
Agreement effective as of September 27, 2009 (the
“Forbearance Agreement”) with the Lenders and Garrison
Loan Agency Services LLC (“Administrative Agent”),
relating to the credit agreement, by and among GAGEE, as borrower,
GAG, LLC, as guarantor, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.
Pursuant to the terms of the Forbearance Agreement, the Lenders
agreed to forbear from exercising any of the remedies available to
them under the credit agreement and the related security agreement
until November 17, 2009, unless a forbearance default occurs,
as specified in the Forbearance Agreement. Also, pursuant to the
terms of the Forbearance Agreement, GAGEE agreed to hold an auction
of the assets collateralizing GAGEE obligations under the credit
agreement on or before November 3, 2009 and to use the sale
proceeds to repay its obligations under the credit agreement. In
connection with the execution of the Forbearance Agreement, GAG,
LLC made a payment of $1,200 on October 9, 2009, in full
satisfaction of its guaranty under the credit agreement which
reduced the principal amount of borrowings and interest due under
the credit agreement. Pursuant to the Forbearance Agreement, the
Company held an auction of the assets collateralizing GAGEE’s
obligation on November 3, 2009. The sale of the assets at
auction was subject to meeting the reserve prices and approval by
the Lenders, and the auction did not result in the sale of any of
the assets.
On
December 31, 2009, GAGEE entered into an amendment to credit
agreement (the “First Amendment to Credit Agreement”)
dated as of December 18, 2009 with Garrison Special
Opportunities Fund LP and the Administrative Agent, whereby the
Lender agreed to forebear from exercising any of the remedies
available to them under the Forebearance Agreement and the related
Security Agreement and to extend the maturity date of the
Forebearance Agreement until November 18, 2010, unless a
forbearance default occurs, as specified in the credit agreement,
as amended. Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment to Credit
Agreement the interest rate was reduced from 20% to 0% and the
Lender agreed to reimburse GAGEE for certain expenses from proceeds
of the sale assets that collateralize the credit agreement. The
Forbearance Agreement expired on November 18,
2010. The Company and GAGEE entered into the Waiver and
Second Amendment to Credit Agreement with the Lenders (the
“Second Amendment to Credit Agreement”) on May 9, 2011
which extended the maturity date of the note payable to December
31, 2011 with an interest rate of 0% through
maturity. The Second Amendment to Credit Agreement also
provides for the Lender to reimburse GAGEE for certain expenses
from proceeds of the sale or lease of the assets that collateralize
the note payable
GAG,
LLC has satisfied its obligation to pay the $1,200 guarantee and
the credit agreement does not provide for other recourse against
GAG, LLC or the Company. At June 30, 2011 and December 31,
2010, the aggregate principal balance of the note payable was
$11,705 and $12,014, respectively. The reduction in principal
balance during the first quarter of 2011 is the result of the
reversal of interest expense during the first quarter of 2011 that
was accrued during the period from the date of the expiration of
the First Amendment to Credit Agreement on November 18, 2010 to
December 31, 2010 at an interest rate of 22% (the default rate), as
the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement provides for an interest
rate of 0% for that period. The reversal of interest
expense of $309 in the first quarter of 2011 is reflected in the
condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months
ended June 30, 2011 as a reduction of interest
expense.

On
January 4, 2010, the Company loaned $2,706 to GAHA Fund I, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of GARE. GAHA Fund I was created to
purchase land and a commercial building that was sold by GAHA Fund
I in January 2011. The note receivable was collateralized by
the land and commercial building which was purchased with the
proceeds from the loan. The note receivable bore interest at a rate
of 10% per annum. The principal balance on the note and all
unpaid interest was paid by GAHA Fund I in January 2011. Interest
income was $67 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, and $10
and $134 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, and is included in interest income in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. At
December 31, 2010, the note receivable in the amount of $2,706
is included in note receivable – related party in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet and accrued interest
receivable in the amount of $268 is included in prepaid expenses
and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet.
On
July 8, 2010, the Company loaned $3,224 to GARE for the
purposes of investing in GAHA Fund II, LLC, a newly formed joint
venture which is 50% owned by GARE. GAHA Fund II, LLC is a special
purpose entity created to purchase non-performing distressed real
estate loans at a discount to par from a financial institution and
market the loans and real estate to third parties. The note
receivable bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum and all
unpaid principal and interest is due on July 8, 2011.
The maturity date of the loan was extended to October 1, 2011
and the interest rate was reduced to 8% per
annum. Interest income was $240 for the six months ended
June 30, 2011 and is included in interest income in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations. At
June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the note receivable in
the amount of $3,224 and accrued interest receivable in the amount
of $473 and $233 is included in prepaid expenses and other current
assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheets.
In
accordance with the accounting guidance for consolidation of
variable interest entities, the Company has determined that the
subordinated financing arrangements in the form of notes receivable
described above with GARE changes the status of the entities to
VIE. The Company, in determining whether or not it is the primary
beneficiary of GARE, considered the disproportionate capital
contributions that are currently made by the Company, the voting
interests of the members of GARE and each member’s ability to
direct the activities of GARE. The Company determined it is not the
primary beneficiary of the VIE since decisions to direct the
operations of GARE are done jointly by the members of GARE and the
Company does not have a disproportionate voting interest which
allows it to exercise any rights or powers that would enable the
Company to direct the activities of GARE that most significantly
impact GARE’s economic performance. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements do not consolidate GARE. The loss
from GARE is accounted for under the equity method of accounting
and is included in other income (loss) in the amount of $416 and
$455 for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010,
respectively, and $348 and $867 for the six months ended June 30,
2011 and 2010, respectively, in the consolidated statements of
operations. At June 30, 2011, the maximum amount of loss exposure
related to the VIE is equal to the carrying value of the respective
note receivable – related party and accrued interest
receivable described above.

NOTE 9— INCOME TAXES
The
Company’s provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of
the following:
A reconciliation of the federal statutory rate
of 34% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 to the
effective tax rate for income (loss) from operations before income
taxes is as follows:
Deferred
income tax assets (liabilities) consisted of the
following:
As
of December 31, 2010, the Company had federal net operating
loss carryforwards of $25,041 and state net operating loss
carryforwards of $20,156. The Company’s federal net operating
loss carryforwards will expire in the tax year ending
December 31, 2030 and the state net operating loss
carryforwards will expire in 2031.
The
Company establishes a valuation allowance if, based on the weight
of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion
or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax
benefits of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards are
evaluated on an ongoing basis, including a review of historical and
projected future operating results, the eligible carryforward
period, and other circumstances. As of June 30, 2011 and December
31, 2010, the Company believes that it is more-likely-than-not
that future taxable earning will be sufficient to realize its
deferred tax assets and has not provided an
allowance.
The
Company’s uncertain tax positions are related to tax years
that remain subject to examination by the relevant taxing
authorities. The Company is currently open to audit under the
statute of limitations by the Internal Revenue Service for the
calendar year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company
and its subsidiaries’ state tax returns are also open to
audit under similar statutes of limitations for the same tax years.
The Company accrues interest on unrecognized tax benefits as a
component of income tax expense. Penalties, if incurred, would be
recognized as a component of income tax expense. The Company had no
such accrued interest or penalties included in the accrued
liabilities associated with unrecognized tax benefits as of the
date of adoption.
