Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of JSI Holding Corp. and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, (collectively, the financial statements).

 

Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditors Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of JSI Holding Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Emphasis of Matter

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the 2020 and 2019 financial statements have been restated as the Company has elected to change its method of accounting for goodwill. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Nature of Operations

 

On November 7, 2012, JSI Holding Corp. (Holding), formed Milo Holding Corp. (Milo) and JSI Acquisition Corp. (Acquisition), for the purpose of acquiring JSI Store Fixtures Incorporated (JSI), on December 7, 2012. JSI Holding Corp. owns 100% of Milo Holding Corp. and 5% of JSI Store Fixtures Incorporated. Milo Holding Corp. owns the remaining 95% of JSI Store Fixtures Incorporated. As part of the acquisition, JSI Acquisition Corp. was merged into JSI Store Fixtures Incorporated. In 2015, JSI Holding Corp. incorporated a 100% owned subsidiary, JSI SF Incorporated (SF). SF incorporated a 100% wholly owned subsidiary, JSI Store Fixtures Canada, Inc. (JSI Canada). Holding, Milo, JSI, SF, and JSI Canada represent, collectively, the Company. The Company is headquartered in Milo, Maine and has manufacturing facilities in Bangor, Maine, Payson, Utah, and Collingwood, Ontario, Canada.

 

The Company designs, engineers, manufactures and sells custom wood, foam, metal and refrigerated store display fixtures, primarily to the grocery industry, throughout the United States and Canada.

 

 

Note 2.

Restatement of Prior Period Financial Statements

 

The Company has restated its financial statements for the years ending December 31, 2020 and 2019 for a change in the accounting method for goodwill. Previously, the Company amortized goodwill in accordance with ASU 2014-02, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Accounting for Goodwill, a consensus of the Private Company Council, an accounting alternative acceptable for private companies.

 

As a result of the change in accounting method for goodwill, the Company determined that its previously reported assets were understated and its net income (loss) was understated for the years ending December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

Accordingly, the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been restated to correct the presentation of these items. The changes in the balances are as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


 

Note 3.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of presentation: The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to ensure financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows are consistently reported. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC).

 

Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holding and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of estimates: The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements include, among other estimates, the valuation and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets, the consideration of impairment of intangible assets and goodwill, the reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable, the reserve for sales returns, the reserve for obsolete and slow-moving inventories and certain income tax reserves.

 

Revenue Recognition: In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The Company has elected the practical expedient to exclude any sales incentives or taxes collected from the customer, which are subsequently remitted to government authorities. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five step model:

 

Identify the contract with the customer;

Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

Determine the transaction price;

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company identified its material revenue streams to be the sale of wood fixtures and refrigeration fixtures. All contracts contain a single performance obligation for which the transaction price relates to the single performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to receive for transferring its goods to the customer. Revenue is recorded based on the transaction price, which includes fixed consideration net of estimated variable consideration such as early payment discounts, volume discounts, and return rights. Variable consideration in the form of price concessions and return allowances are not significant.

 

Revenue from the sale of wood fixtures and refrigeration fixtures is recognized at a point in time when control passes to the customer which is typically upon delivery. The transaction price for the product (i.e., the amount that the Company has the right to under the terms of the sales contract with the customer) is the stand-alone sales price of each individual fixture and is generally settled within 60 days of the satisfaction of the performance obligation.

Note 3.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Contract balances: Timing of revenue recognition may not align with the right to invoice the customer. The Company records accounts receivable when it has the unconditional right to issue an invoice and receive payment, regardless of whether revenue has been recognized. If revenue has not yet been recognized, a contract liability (customer deposits included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities) is recorded.

 

Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically 60 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of the right to invoice, the Company has determined that a significant financing component generally does not exist. The primary purpose of the Company’s invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the products and services and not to receive financing from or provide financing to the customer.

 

The Company generally provides limited assurance type warranties for fixtures. The warranty periods typically extend for a limited duration following the transfer of control of the fixtures. Historically, warranty claims have not resulted in material costs incurred.

 

Costs to obtain and fulfill a contract: In accordance with ASC 340-40, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient and recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period for the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. The Company will capitalize the incremental costs of obtaining or cost to fulfill a contract with a customer, if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year, and such costs will be amortized over the expected benefit period. The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated products. With respect to the cost of freight and shipping to customers, the Company’s policy is to recognize such fulfillment costs in cost of goods sold. As of December 31, 2020 there were no capitalized contract or fulfillment costs.

 

Cash: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts receivable: Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a periodic basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of amounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received. An account is considered past due when any amount is outstanding for greater than 90 days. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $35,124 and $41,230, respectively.

 

Inventory: Inventories are stated at lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Finished goods and work in process include materials, labor and allocated overhead. Inventory is carried net of a reserve for excess and obsolete inventory. Management reviews the need for an allowance for obsolescence, on an annual basis, by evaluating slow moving items and by using historical experience to determine whether the inventory can be used or sold.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Goodwill: The Company accounts for business combinations pursuant to ASC 805, Business Combinations. Goodwill in such acquisitions represents the excess of the cost of a business acquired over the net of the amounts assigned to the assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed. ASC 805 specifies criteria to be used in determining whether intangible assets acquired in a business combination must be recognized and reported separately from goodwill. Amounts assigned to goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets were determined with the assistance of an independent appraiser using a market approach and a discounted cash flow analysis.

 

The carrying values of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives are reviewed at least annually for possible impairment. The Company may first assess qualitative factors in order to determine if goodwill is impaired. If through the qualitative assessment it is determined that it is more likely than not that goodwill is not impaired, no further testing is required. If it is determined more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, or if the Company elects not to first assess qualitative factors, the Company’s impairment testing continues with the estimation of the fair value of the reporting unit using a combination of a market approach and an income (discounted cash flow) approach, at the reporting unit level. During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company identified certain events that may have indicated that the fair value of the entity is less than its carrying amount. The results of the Company’s analysis indicated that there was no impairment of goodwill at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Intangible assets: The Company’s amortizable intangible assets include patents, customer lists and non-compete agreements which are recorded at their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date and amortized over their estimated useful lives. These intangible assets and other long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment as impairment indicators become known. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Management considers company specific and market based information in assessing whether there are indications of impairment.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company identified certain events that may have indicated that the fair value of an asset group was less than its carrying amount. As more fully described in Note 7, management determined that the carrying value of a specific intangible asset exceeded the fair value resulting in an impairment charge. During the year ended December 31, 2020, there was no impairment charge.

 

The Company provides for amortization of intangible assets with definite lives using straight-line methods over the estimated useful lives. With the exception of certain trademarks and trade names and the Spongex contract, intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The amortization periods of the intangible assets are as follows:

 

Patents

    13 years  

Noncompete agreements

    2-8 years  

Customer base and relationships

    10 years  

Engineering drawings

    7 years  

Trade name

    2 years

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Long lived assets: The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition are not expected to be adequate to recover the asset’s carrying value, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. No impairment was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2020 or 2019.

 

Fair value measurements: The Company follows current accounting standards for fair value measurements, which define fair value as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date”, and establish a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value.

 

Level 1:

Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2:

Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.

 

Level 3:

Applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

 

Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments that subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company’s cash is held in accredited financial institutions, which, at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company’s accounts receivable consist mainly of stable recurring customers. Therefore, the Company believes it is not exposed to any significant risk on cash or accounts receivable.

 

Debt issuance costs: Debt issuance costs represent professional fees and related costs incurred to obtain debt financing and are amortized as interest expense over the term of the related financing using the effective interest method. Costs associated with long-term debt are reflected as a direct reduction of the related debt (see Note 8).

 

Foreign currency translation: The financial statements of non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated or remeasured in accordance with GAAP. The U.S. dollar is the Company’s reporting currency for the period presented. The operations of JSI Canada are conducted in the Canadian Dollar. Accordingly, all asset and liability accounts of the non-U.S. subsidiary have been translated from their functional currency to U.S. Dollar at current exchange rates at the balance sheet date and related revenues and expenses have been translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the period. The resulting cumulative translation gains and losses are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (other comprehensive loss). Currency transaction and remeasurement gains and losses are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Comprehensive loss: In accordance with accounting standards, the Company is required to report in its financial statements, in addition to its net loss, comprehensive loss, which includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources including foreign currency items. The Company’s only other comprehensive loss item is its foreign currency translation adjustment.

 

Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance, routine repairs, and minor replacements are charged against operations as incurred, while those items which are over the cost of $1,000 and materially improve or extend the lives of existing assets are capitalized. For financial reporting, depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method calculated to depreciate the cost of the assets over the following estimated useful lives:

 

   

Estimated

 
   

Useful Lives

 

Description

 

(Years)

 
         

Land

 

 

Indefinite  

Buildings and building improvements

    15-40  

Machinery and equipment

    5-7  

Office furniture and equipment

    3-7  

Vehicles

    5  

 

Leased equipment is included with machinery and equipment and is amortized using the straight- line method over the lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Sales taxes: The Company reports sales taxes on a net basis; accordingly, they are recorded as a liability when collected from customers and excluded from revenues and expenses.

 

Warranty policy: All Company products are warrantied, except for normal wear and tear, generally for one year from the date of shipment, for refrigeration products and two years for fixtures. Historically, claims have been made within the first month after sale. Any costs that are associated with claims are charged to the warranty liability. The Company also records an estimated warranty accrual based on history of claims as a percentage of sales. The warranty liability totaled $304,100 and $138,288 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated financial statements. Total warranty expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, were $893,639 and $447,050, respectively, and included in cost of goods sold.

 

Shipping and handling costs: Shipping and handling costs include charges associated with the delivery of goods from the Company’s operating facility to each customer’s designated location. Shipping and handling costs incurred to support sales activities are billed to customers and included in net revenue in the consolidated statements of income. The related fees and costs incurred are included in costs of goods sold on the consolidated statements of income.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Income taxes: Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences arising from assets and liabilities whose bases are different for financial reporting and income tax purposes using the currently enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the taxes are actually paid or recovered. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of current and deferred income taxes. The current tax provision is computed on the basis used by the Company in filing its tax returns. Deferred income taxes are presented on the consolidated balance sheets as noncurrent liabilities.

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. ASC 740 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the consolidated financial statements. ASC 740 also requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more likely than not threshold would be recorded as tax expense in the current year. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, in income tax expense.

 

Advertising: The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, advertising expenses were $268,097 and $191,814, respectively.

 

Research and development costs: The Company conducts research and development activities to support new and improved fixture reliability and quality. Research and development costs, which are expensed as incurred, totaled $109,630 and $110,994 for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Research and development costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

Financial instruments: The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The fair value of the note receivable and debt approximates the carrying value at December 31, 2020 and 2019 due to the contractual nature of the agreements and current market conditions for similar instruments issued to companies with similar credit profiles.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, IntangiblesGoodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The ASU simplifies the measurement of goodwill impairment by eliminating the requirement that an entity compute the implied fair value of goodwill based on the fair values of its assets and liabilities to measure impairment. Instead, goodwill impairment will be measured as the difference between the fair value of the reporting unit and the carrying value of the reporting unit. The ASU also clarifies the treatment of the income tax effect of tax deductible goodwill when measuring goodwill impairment loss.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 most significantly impacts lessee accounting and disclosures. First, this guidance requires lessees to identify arrangements that should be accounted for as leases. Under ASU 2016-02, for lease arrangements exceeding a 12‑month term, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation is recorded by the lessee for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The balance sheet amount recorded for existing leases at the date of adoption of ASU 2016-02 must be calculated using the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, to simplify the lease standard’s implementation. The amended guidance relieves businesses and other organizations of the requirement to present prior comparative years’ results when a company adopts the new lease standard. Instead of recasting prior year results using the new accounting when they adopt the guidance, companies can choose to recognize the cumulative effect of applying the new standard to leased assets and liabilities as an adjustment to the opening balance through retained earnings. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact that adopting ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

Debt

 

Term loans and line of credit: On March 29, 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Advantage Capital Agribusiness Partners LP in the amount of $9,000,000. Additionally the Company obtained a revolving note from Stonegate Asset Company II, LLC with a commitment of $12,000,000. Proceeds from the loan agreement and a draw on the revolving note were used by the Company to pay off all outstanding debt with Fifth Third Bank. The Company paid Fifth Third Bank approximately $15,900,000 related to the U.S. revolver, term loans, interest and fees and approximately 235,000 CAD related to the Canadian term loan.

 

Effective March 29, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Stonegate Asset Company II, LLC. The revolving note bears interest at a variable rate with a base of 5.5% plus an applicable percentage based on the debt to EBITDA ratio as defined in the agreement. The note is collateralized by all assets of the Company. The interest rate for the note at December 31, 2020 and 2019 was 10% and 7.75%, respectively. The Company utilized this revolving note to support short-term operating cash needs. The balances outstanding on the U.S. revolving credit facility were $4,776,656 and $5,493,160 as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The maximum borrowing availability of the revolving note was $12,000,000 as of December 31, 2020. On April 9, 2020 the credit agreement was amended to extend the maturity date to April 30, 2021. On February 26, 2021 the revolving line was amended to extend the maturity date to April 29, 2022.

 

On December 31, 2018, the Company entered into a Term Loan Promissory Note with BIZCAPITAL BIDCO II, LLC whereby it issued $2,000,000 Secured Term Notes (Term Note). On April 9, 2020, the Term Note was amended to extend the maturity date to December 23, 2021. On February 26, 2021 the Term Note was amended to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2022.

Note 8.         Debt (Continued)

 

New Market Tax Credits Financing: The Company qualified for New Market Tax Credits through its operations in Milo, Maine, which is a qualified low-income community. These transactions are structured as multiple loans and a long-term note receivable between the Company and Midwest Community Development Fund II, LLC. Applicable accounting guidance does not provide for a right to offset the debt and receivables, and accordingly these transactions are presented gross as debt and a note receivable of $14,850,000 as of December 31, 2019. In order to qualify for new market tax credits, the Company must comply with various federal and state requirements governing the tax credit programs during a defined compliance period of seven years. Failure to meet all such requirements may result in generating a lesser amount of tax credits than the expected amount or recapture of the tax credits that have been previously claimed. The Company is subject to certain indemnification provisions with the various tax credit entities should an event of recapture occur, such as the investment ceasing to meet the substantially-all requirement, which involves investments in qualified low-income community investments. Additionally, on December 14, 2020, the note payable was settled. As of December 31, 2020 the balance is $0.

 

JSI has three borrowings with an organization associated with new market tax credits. Midwest Community Development Fund II, LLC issued notes for $8,500,000, $1,500,000, and $14,850,000. Two notes require interest of 13.5%, 6% in cash payments and 7.5% payable in kind, with the principal due in full at maturity and one note requires interest at 1% and principal due in full at maturity. The notes are secured by all assets of the Company. On April 9, 2020, the Company amended the notes to extend the maturity dates to May 31, 2021 and August 31, 2021. On February 26, 2021 two notes were amended to extend the maturity dates to May 31, 2022. As noted above the $14,850,000 Note, along with the related accrued interest, was settled in exchange for the note receivable on December 14, 2020.

Income Tax (Continued)

 

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act was signed into law making several changes to the Internal Revenue Code. The changes include, but are not limited to: increasing the limitation on the amount of deductible interest expense, allowing companies to carryback certain net operating losses, and increasing the amount of net operating loss carryforwards that corporations can use to offset taxable income. The Company carried back the Federal net operating loss of $3.4 million generated in 2018 to 2015 and 2016 tax periods, resulting in a Federal tax benefit. 

 

At December 31, 2020, foreign, and state net operating losses total approximately $456,000 (Canada) and $1,067,000 (state), which are available to reduce future taxable income through 2038. Federal net operating loss carryforwards generated in tax years beginning in the year ended December 31, 2018, can be carried forward indefinitely.

Uncertainty

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 11, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate it have and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. While it is unknown how long these conditions will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the Company, it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions.

 

 

Note 17.

Nature of Operations

 

On November 7, 2012, JSI Holding Corp. (Holding), formed Milo Holding Corp. (Milo) and JSI Acquisition Corp. (Acquisition), for the purpose of acquiring JSI Store Fixtures Incorporated (JSI), on December 7, 2012. JSI Holding Corp. owns 100% of Milo Holding Corp. and 5% of JSI Store Fixtures Incorporated. Milo Holding Corp. owns the remaining 95% of JSI Store Fixtures Incorporated. As part of the acquisition, JSI Acquisition Corp. was merged into JSI Store Fixtures Incorporated. In 2015, JSI Holding Corp. incorporated a 100% owned subsidiary, JSI SF Incorporated (SF). SF incorporated a 100% wholly owned subsidiary, JSI Store Fixtures Canada, Inc. (JSI Canada). Holding, Milo, JSI, SF, and JSI Canada represent, collectively, the Company. The Company is headquartered in Milo, Maine and has manufacturing facilities in Bangor, Maine, Payson, Utah, and Collingwood, Ontario, Canada.

 

The Company designs, engineers, manufactures and sells custom wood, foam, metal and refrigerated store display fixtures, primarily to the grocery industry, throughout the United States and Canada.

 

 

Note 2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of presentation: The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on the accrual method of accounting in accordance with accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) to ensure financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows are consistently reported. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments and disclosures necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes included in the consolidated financial report for December 31, 2020.

 

Principles of consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holding and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Revenue Recognition: In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these goods or services. The Company has elected the practical expedient to exclude any sales incentives or taxes collected from the customer, which are subsequently remitted to government authorities. To achieve this core principle, the Company applies the following five step model:

 

Identify the contract with the customer;

Identify the performance obligations in the contract;

Determine the transaction price;

Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

Recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


 

Note 2.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

The Company identified its material revenue streams to be the sale of wood fixtures and refrigeration fixtures. All contracts contain a single performance obligation for which the transaction price relates to the single performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to for transferring goods to the customer. Revenue is recorded based on the transaction price, which includes fixed consideration net of estimated variable consideration such as early payment discounts, volume discounts, and return rights. Variable consideration in the form of price concessions and return allowances are not significant.

 

Revenue from the sale of wood fixtures and refrigeration fixtures is recognized at a point in time when control passes to the customer which is typically upon delivery. The transaction price for the product (i.e., the amount that the Company has the right to under the terms of the sales contract with the customer) is the stand-alone sales price of each individual fixture and is generally settled within 60 days of the satisfaction of the performance obligation.

 

Contract balances: Timing of revenue recognition may not align with the right to invoice the customer. The Company records accounts receivable when it has the unconditional right to issue an invoice and receive payment, regardless of whether revenue has been recognized. If revenue has not yet been recognized, a contract liability (customer deposits included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities) is recorded.

 

Payment terms on invoiced amounts are typically 60 days. In instances where the timing of revenue recognition differs from the timing of the right to invoice, the Company has determined that a significant financing component generally does not exist. The primary purpose of the Company’s invoicing terms is to provide customers with simplified and predictable ways of purchasing the products and services and not to receive financing from or provide financing to the customer.

 

The Company generally provides limited assurance type warranties for fixtures. The warranty periods typically extend for a limited duration following the transfer of control of the fixtures. Historically, warranty claims have not resulted in material costs incurred.

 

Costs to obtain and fulfill a contract: In accordance with ASC 340-40, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient and recognize the incremental costs of obtaining contracts as an expense when incurred if the amortization period for the assets that the Company otherwise would have recognized is one year or less. The Company will capitalize the incremental costs of obtaining or cost to fulfill a contract with a customer, if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year, and amortize such costs over the expected benefit period. The Company accounts for shipping and handling activities related to contracts with customers as costs to fulfill the promise to transfer the associated products. With respect to the cost of freight and shipping to customers, the Company’s policy is to recognize such fulfillment costs in cost of goods sold. As of March 31, 2021, there were no capitalized contract or fulfillment costs.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 most significantly impacts lessee accounting and disclosures. First, this guidance requires lessees to identify arrangements that should be accounted for as leases. Under ASU 2016-02, for lease arrangements exceeding a 12‑month term, a right-of-use asset and lease obligation is recorded by the lessee for all leases, whether operating or financing, while the income statement will reflect lease expense for operating leases and amortization/interest expense for financing leases. The balance sheet amount recorded for existing leases at the date of adoption of ASU 2016-02 must be calculated using the applicable incremental borrowing rate at the date of adoption. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements, to simplify the lease standard’s implementation. The amended guidance relieves businesses and other organizations of the requirement to present prior comparative years’ results when a company adopts the new lease standard. Instead of recasting prior year results using the new accounting when they adopt the guidance, companies can choose to recognize the cumulative effect of applying the new standard to leased assets and liabilities as an adjustment to the opening balance through retained earnings. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is assessing the impact that adopting ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.

 

Subsequent Events: In May 2021, the Company was acquired by LSI Industries Inc. for approximately $90 million. In connection with this transaction, the long-term debt more fully described in Note 7 was extinguished. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 5, 2021, the date on which the unaudited consolidated financial statements were issued.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company determined that the Spongex contract was no longer an indefinite lived asset as the product line was discontinued by the vendor. As a result there was a change in useful life and the asset was amortized over the determined remaining useful life of the asset. Amortization expense of intangible assets for the periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, was $322,581 and $355,487, respectively.

Debt

 

Term loans and line of credit: On March 29, 2019, the Company entered into a loan agreement with Advantage Capital Agribusiness Partners LP in the amount of $9,000,000. Additionally, the Company obtained a revolving note from Stonegate Asset Company II, LLC with a commitment of $12,000,000. Proceeds from the loan agreement and a draw on the revolving note were used by the Company to pay off all outstanding debt with Fifth Third Bank. The Company paid Fifth Third Bank approximately $15,900,000 related to the U.S. revolver, term loans, interest and fees and approximately 235,000 CAD related to the Canadian term loan.

 

Effective March 29, 2019, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Stonegate Asset Company II, LLC. The revolving note bears interest at a variable rate with a base of 5.5% plus an applicable percentage based on the debt to EBITDA ratio as defined in the agreement. The note is collateralized by all assets of the Company. The interest rate for the note was 7.5% at both March 31, 2021 and 2020. The Company utilized this revolving note to support short-term operating cash needs. The balances outstanding on the U.S. revolving credit facility were $5,138,872 and $8,136,261 as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The maximum borrowing availability of the revolving note was $12,000,000 as of March 31, 2021. On April 9, 2020 the credit agreement was amended to extend the maturity date to April 30, 2021. On February 26, 2021 the revolving line was amended to extend the maturity date to April 29, 2022.

 

On December 31, 2018, the Company entered into a Term Loan Promissory Note with BIZCAPITAL BIDCO II, LLC whereby it issued $2,000,000 Secured Term Notes (Term Note). On April 9, 2020, the Term Note was amended to extend the maturity date to December 23, 2021. On February 26, 2021 the Term Note was amended to extend the maturity date to December 31, 2022.

 

New Market Tax Credits Financing: The Company qualified for New Market Tax Credits through its operations in Milo, Maine, which is a qualified low-income community. These transactions are structured as multiple loans and a long-term note receivable between the Company and Midwest Community Development Fund II, LLC. Applicable accounting guidance does not provide for a right to offset the debt and receivables, and accordingly these transactions are presented gross as debt and a note receivable of $14,850,000 as of December 31, 2019. In order to qualify for new market tax credits, the Company must comply with various federal and state requirements governing the tax credit programs during a defined compliance period of seven years. Failure to meet all such requirements may result in generating a lesser amount of tax credits than the expected amount or recapture of the tax credits that have been previously claimed. The Company is subject to certain indemnification provisions with the various tax credit entities should an event of recapture occur, such as the investment ceasing to meet the substantially-all requirement, which involves investments in qualified low-income community investments. Additionally, on December 14, 2020, the note payable was settled. As of March 31, 2021 the balance is $0.

 

JSI has three borrowings with an organization associated with new market tax credits. Midwest Community Development Fund II, LLC issued notes for $8,500,000, $1,500,000, and $14,850,000. Two notes require interest of 13.5%, 6% in cash payments and 7.5% payable in kind, with the principal due in full at maturity and one note requires interest at 1% and principal due in full at maturity. The notes are secured by all assets of the Company. On April 9, 2020, the Company amended the notes to extend the maturity dates to May 31, 2021 and August 31, 2021. On February 26, 2021 two notes were amended to extend the maturity dates to May 31, 2022. As noted above the $14,850,000 Note, along with the related accrued interest, was settled in exchange for the note receivable on December 14, 2020.

Income Taxes

 

The Company's effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate. The Company refines the estimates of the year's taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions.

Uncertainty

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 11, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. The coronavirus and actions taken to mitigate it have and are expected to continue to have an adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the geographical area in which the Company operates. While it is unknown how long these conditions will last and what the complete financial effect will be to the Company, it is reasonably possible that estimates made in the financial statements have been, or will be, materially and adversely impacted in the near term as a result of these conditions.
