Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of American Locker Group Incorporated (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of such consolidated financial statements, have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2011.
    The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
    Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known or that the Company currently deems immaterial may also impair its business operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
2. Sale of Property
    On September 18, 2009, the Company sold its headquarters and primary manufacturing facility to the City of Grapevine (the “City”) for a purchase price of $2,747,000. The Company estimates the total value of the transaction at $3,500,000.
    The Company is entitled to continue to occupy the facility, through December 31, 2010, at no cost. The City has further agreed to pay the Company’s relocation costs within the Dallas-Fort Worth area and to pay the Company’s real property taxes for the facility through April 2011. The Company received a $341,000 payment towards the moving costs at closing which is recorded as “Deferred revenue” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The Company expects to incur the majority of its moving costs during the second quarter of 2011. Proceeds of the sale were used to pay off the $2 million mortgage secured by the property and for general working capital purposes.
3. Disneyland Concession Agreement
    On September 24, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Disney Agreement”) with Disneyland Resort, a division of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc., and Hong Kong International Theme Parks Limited, (collectively referred to herein as “Disney”) to provide locker services under a concession arrangement. Under the Disney Agreement, the Company installed, operates and maintains electronic lockers at Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California and at Hong Kong Disneyland Park in Hong Kong.
    The Company installed approximately 4,300 electronic lockers under the Disney Agreement. The Company retains ownership of the lockers and receives a portion of the revenue generated by the locker operations. The term of the Disney Agreement is five years and operations began in late November 2010. The Agreement contains an option for a one year renewal at Disney’s discretion. The Agreement contains a buyout option at the end of each contract year as well as a provision to compensate the Company in the event Disney terminates the Agreement without cause.
    Under appropriate accounting guidance, the Company capitalized its costs related to the Disney Agreement and is depreciating the cost over the five year term of the agreement. The Company recognizes revenue for its portion of the revenue as it is collected.
4. Inventories
    Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out method (FIFO).
    Inventories consist of the following:

Net inventories
  $ 2,623,874     $ 2,545,200  
 
           
5. Income Taxes
    Provision for income taxes is based upon the estimated annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was 3.3% and 33.8%, respectively. The difference in the statutory rate and the effective rate is primarily due to a change in the valuation allowance of approximately $61,000 and $45,000 in 2011 and 2010, respectively.
6. Stockholders’ Equity
    On March 31, 2011, the Company issued 12,413 shares of common stock to non-employee directors and an officer and increased other capital by $8,687, representing compensation expense of $21,100. Changes in stockholders’ equity were also due to a comprehensive loss of $200,380.

Table of Contents

    Effective January 1, 2009, the Company converted its pension plan for its Canadian employees (the “Canadian Plan”) from a noncontributory defined benefit plan to a defined contribution plan. Until the conversion, benefits for the salaried employees were based on specified percentages of the employees’ monthly compensation. The conversion of the Canadian plan has the effect of freezing the accrual of future defined benefits under the plan. Under the defined contribution plan, the Company will contribute 3% of employee compensation plus 50% of employee elective contributions up to a maximum contribution of 5% of employee compensation.
    The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic of the ASC requires the categorization of financial assets and liabilities, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The various values of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic of the ASC fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
    Level 1 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.
    Level 2 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
    Level 3 — Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
     The fair value hierarchy of the plan assets are as follows:
                         
            March 31, 2011  
            US Plan     Canadian Plan  
Cash and cash equivalents
  Level 1         $ 53,303  
Mutual funds
  Level 1           1,166,173  
Pooled separate accounts
  Level 2   $ 1,866,177        
 
                   
Total
          $ 1,866,177     $ 1,219,476  
 
                   
    For additional information on the defined benefit pension plans, please refer to Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

10. Debt
    On December 8, 2010, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Bank of America Merrill Lynch (“BAML”), pursuant to which the Company obtained a $1 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $2.5 million revolving line of credit (the “Line of Credit”).
    The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to fund the Company’s investment in lockers used in the Disneyland concession agreement. The proceeds of the Line of Credit will be used primarily for working capital needs in the ordinary course of business and for general corporate purposes.
    The Company can borrow, repay and re-borrow principal under the Line of Credit from time to time during its term, but the outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit may not exceed the lesser of the borrowing base or $2,500,000. For purposes of the Line of Credit, “borrowing base” is calculated by multiplying eligible accounts receivable of the Company by 80% and eligible raw material and finished goods by 50%. As of March 31, 2011 there were no amounts outstanding on the Line of Credit.
    The outstanding principal balances of the Line of Credit and the Term Loan bear interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 375 basis points (3.75%). Accrued interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit are due monthly, and all outstanding principal payments under the Line of Credit, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, is due at maturity, or December 8, 2011. Payments on the Term Loan, consisting of $16,667 in principal plus accrued interest, began in 2011. The entire outstanding balance of the Term Loan is due on December 8, 2015.
    The Loan Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory and equipment pursuant to a Security Agreement between the Company and BAML (the “Credit Security Agreement”).
    The Credit Security Agreement and Loan Agreement contain covenants, including financial covenants, with which the Company must comply, including a debt service coverage ratio and a funded debt to EBITDA ratio. Subject to the Lender’s consent, the Company is prohibited under the Credit Security Agreement and the Loan Agreement, except under certain circumstances, from incurring or assuming additional debt and from permitting liens to be placed upon any of its property, assets or revenues. Additionally, the Company is prohibited from entering into certain transactions, including a merger or consolidation, without the Lender’s consent.
10. Restructuring
    As a result of the economic crisis, the Company implemented a restructuring in January 2009 to rationalize its cost structure in an uncertain economic environment. The restructuring included the elimination of approximately 50 permanent and temporary positions (a reduction of approximately 40% of the Company’s workforce) as well as an across the board 10% reduction in wages and a 15% reduction in the base fee paid to members of the Company’s Board of Directors. These reductions resulted in severance and payroll charges during the year ended December 31, 2009 of approximately $264,000. As of March 31, 2011, the remaining balance of these payments is expected to be made over the next nine months. Additionally, the Company expects to incur $100,000 in relocation expenses, which has not been accrued for, when it relocates its Ellicottville, New York operations to Texas during 2011. The restructuring and relocation is expected to result in approximately $240,000 in annual savings when completed. To implement the January 2009 restructuring plan, management anticipates incurring aggregate impairment charges and costs of $396,000 of which $296,000 have been previously incurred. Accrued restructuring expenses of $144,000 are included in “Other accrued expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
    The following table analyzes the changes in the Company’s reserve with respect to the restructuring plan for the three months ended March 31, 2011:

11. Commitments and Contingencies
    In July 2001, the Company received a letter from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (the “NYSDEC”) advising the Company that it is a potentially responsible party (PRP) with respect to environmental contamination at and alleged migration from property located in Gowanda, New York which was sold by the Company to Gowanda Electronics Corporation prior to 1980. In March 2001, the NYSDEC issued a Record of Decision with respect to the Gowanda site in which it set forth a remedy, including continued operation of an existing extraction well and air stripper, installation of groundwater pumping wells and a collection trench, construction of a treatment system in a separate building on the site, installation of a reactive iron wall covering 250 linear feet, which is intended to intercept any contaminates, and implementation of an on-going monitoring system. The NYSDEC has estimated that its selected remediation plan will cost approximately $688,000 for initial construction and a total of $1,997,000 with respect to expected operation and maintenance expenses over a 30-year period after completion of initial construction. The Company has not conceded to the NYSDEC that the Company is liable with respect to this matter and has not agreed with the NYSDEC that the remediation plan selected by NYSDEC is the most appropriate plan. This matter has not been litigated, and at the present time the Company has only been identified as a PRP. The Company also believes that other parties may have been identified by the NYSDEC as PRPs, and the allocation of financial responsibility of such parties has not been litigated. Based upon currently available information, the Company is unable to estimate timing with respect to the resolution of this matter. The NYSDEC has not commenced implementation of the remedial plan and has not indicated when construction will start, if ever. The Company’s primary insurance carrier has assumed the cost of the Company’s defense in this matter, subject to a reservation of rights.
    Beginning in September 1998 the Company has been named as an additional defendant in approximately 226 cases pending in state court in Massachusetts and one in the state of Washington. The plaintiffs in each case assert that a division of the Company manufactured and furnished components containing asbestos to a shipyard during the period from 1948 to 1972 and that injury resulted from exposure to such products. The assets of this division were sold by the Company in 1973. During the process of discovery in certain of these actions, documents from sources outside the Company have been produced which indicate that the Company appears to have been included in the chain of title for certain wall panels which contained asbestos and which were delivered to the Massachusetts shipyards. Defense of these cases has been assumed by the Company’s insurance carrier, subject to a reservation of rights. Settlement agreements have been entered in approximately 31 cases with funds authorized and provided by the Company’s insurance carrier. Further, over 157 cases have been terminated as to the Company without liability to the Company under Massachusetts procedural rules. Therefore, the balance of unresolved cases against the Company as of March 9, 2011, the most recent date data is available, is approximately 39 cases.
    While the Company cannot estimate potential damages or predict the ultimate resolution of these asbestos cases as the discovery proceedings on the cases are not complete, based upon the Company’s experience to date with similar cases, as well as the assumption that insurance coverage will continue to be provided with respect to these cases, at the present time, the Company does not believe that the outcome of these cases will have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s operations or financial condition.
    The Company is involved in other claims and litigation from time to time in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe these matters will have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s operations or financial condition.

Results of Operations — Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2010
Overall Results and Outlook
The financial market and economic turmoil and related disruption of the credit markets has caused a significant slowdown in new construction of multifamily and commercial buildings beginning in the second half of 2008 and continuing through 2011. The economic crisis has also negatively impacted the Company’s customers in the travel and recreation industries. New construction in these markets is a key driver of revenue for the Company.

Consolidated net sales for the first quarter of 2011 reflect an increase in net sales of $110,473 to $2,849,711 when compared to net sales of $2,739,238 for the same period of 2010, representing a 4.0% increase. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in locker and mailbox sales offsetting a decline in contract manufacturing. Pre-tax operating results declined to a pre-tax loss of $204,105 for the first quarter of 2011 from a pre-tax loss of $93,833 for the first quarter of 2010. After tax operating results declined to net loss of $210,841 for the first quarter of 2011 from a net loss of $125,501 for the first quarter of 2010. Net loss per share (basic and diluted) was $0.13 in the first quarter of 2011, an increase from a net loss per share (basic and diluted) of $0.08 for the first quarter of 2010.
Net Sales
Consolidated net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $2,849,711, an increase of $110,473, or 4.0%, compared to net sales of $2,739,238 for the same period of 2010. Sales of lockers for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $1,860,634, an increase of $81,243, or 4.6%, compared to sales of $1,779,211 for the same period of 2010. The increase is primarily attributable to increased market share resulting from the Company reorganization of its outside sales efforts to focus on larger projects and inside sales to focus on facilitating smaller orders and servicing distributors.
Concession revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $259,633, an increase of $214,506 or 475.3% from concession revenue of $45,127 for the same period of 2010. The concession revenue increase was driven by the Disneyland Resort and Hong Kong Disneyland concessions which commenced operations in late November 2010. Additionally, sales of mailboxes were $655,370 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $113,359, or 20.9%, compared to sales of $542,011 for the same period of 2010. Increased mailbox sales were the result of increased sales of post office boxes to the United States Postal Service and the private market.
Sales of contract manufacturing services were $74,074 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $372,889 for the same period of 2010. This decrease was primarily due to the refocusing of sales efforts from bid-based, short duration contracts to sustainable relationships with Fortune 1000 customers as described below. As part of this process, the Company dramatically reduced its business with the customer that accounted for most of its contract manufacturing revenue in 2010.
Contract manufacturing includes the manufacture of metal furniture, electrical enclosures and other metal products for third party customers. Revenue from contract manufacturing is volatile and should be expected to vary substantially from quarter to quarter. In order to increase the stability and growth of contract manufacturing revenue, the Company has refocused its contract manufacturing efforts on selling electrical enclosures and components to Fortune 1000 customers. This will allow the Company to benefit from the trend of bringing the manufacturing of items back to the United States that were previously manufactured overseas. This process improves quality, reduces lead time and reduces total costs for the end user.

Gross Margin
Consolidated gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $799,271, or 28.0% of net sales, compared to $939,286, or 34.3% of net sales, for the same period of 2010, a decrease of $140,015, or 14.9%. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales was primarily due to increased raw materials costs of approximately $112,000 and increased concession costs of approximately $216,000, partially offset by a decrease in overhead costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $978,084, or 34.3% of net sales, compared to $1,033,529, or 37.7% of net sales, for the same period of 2010, a decrease of $55,445, or 5.4%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in legal fees of approximately $25,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010. Additionally, freight expenses decreased approximately $15,000 for the three month period ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, as a result of favorable changes in freight mix.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2011 was $13,477, an increase of $6,228, or 85.9%, compared to interest expense of $7,249 for the same period of 2010. This increase is due to the Company entering into a new loan agreement with Bank of America Merrill Lynch on December 8, 2010.
Income Taxes
For the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $6,736 compared to an income tax expense of $31,668 for the same period of 2010. The Company’s effective tax rate on earnings was approximately 3.3% and 33.8% in the first quarter of 2011 and 2010, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in 2011 was primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance for net operating loss of $61,000.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure — Adjusted EBITDA
The Company presents the non-GAAP financial performance measure of Adjusted EBITDA because management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate the performance of the business and believe the presentation of this measure will enhance investors’ ability to analyze trends in the Company’s business, evaluate the Company’s performance relative to other companies and evaluate the Company’s ability to service debt.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may vary from the computation used by other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating earnings or net income as a measure of operating performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not presented as and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:
    Does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
 
    Does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
 
    Does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;
 
    Excludes tax payments that represent a reduction in available cash; and
 
    Does not reflect any cash requirements for assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future.
 
    Excludes onetime expenses and equity compensation.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital
The Company’s liquidity is reflected by its current ratio, which is the ratio of current assets to current liabilities, and its working capital, which is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. These measures of liquidity were as follows:
                 
    As of March 31,   As of December 31,
    2011   2010
Current Ratio
    1.88 to 1       1.96 to 1  
Working Capital
  $ 2,676,854     $ 3,011,293  
The decrease in working capital of $334,439 relates to the net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2011 of $210,841, as well as a reduction in accounts receivables.
The Company’s primary sources of liquidity include available cash and cash equivalents and borrowings available under the Line of Credit.
Expected uses of cash in fiscal 2011 include funds required to support the Company’s operating activities, capital expenditures, relocation of the Company’s primary manufacturing facility and contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans. The Company expects capital expenditures in 2011 to be lower than in 2010.
The Company has taken steps to enhance its liquidity position with the Loan Agreement, which expands its ability to leverage accounts receivable and inventory. The Company’s plans to manage its liquidity position in 2011 include maintaining an intense focus on controlling expenses, continuing the Company’s implementation of LEAN manufacturing processes, and reducing inventory levels by increasing sales and using excess capacity by manufacturing products for outside parties.
The Company has considered the impact of the financial outlook on its liquidity and has performed an analysis of the key assumptions in its forecast. Based upon these analyses and evaluations, the Company expects that its anticipated sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet its obligations without disposition of assets outside of the ordinary course of business or significant revisions of the Company’s planned operations through 2011.
From 2008 through 2010, credit markets experienced significant dislocations and liquidity disruptions. These factors materially impacted debt markets, making financing terms for borrowers less attractive, and in certain cases have resulted in the unavailability of certain types of debt financing. Although credit availability has improved, continued uncertainty in the credit markets may still negatively impact the Company’s ability to access additional debt financing on favorable terms, or at all. The credit market disruptions could impair the Company’s ability to fund operations, limit the Company’s ability to expand the business or increase interest expense, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company.
Item 3.   Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Raw Materials
The Company does not have any long-term commitments for the purchase of raw materials. With respect to its products that use steel and aluminum, the Company expects that any raw material price changes would be reflected in adjusted sales prices. The Company believes that the risk of supply interruptions due to such matters as strikes at the source of supply or to logistics systems is limited. Present sources of supplies and raw materials incorporated into the Company’s products are generally considered to be adequate and are currently available in the marketplace.
Foreign Currency
The Company’s Canadian operation subjects the Company to foreign currency risk, though it is not considered a significant risk since the Canadian operation’s net assets represented only 14.7% of the Company’s aggregate net assets at March 31, 2011. Presently, management does not hedge its foreign currency risk.
Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2011. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal accounting officer of the Company have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2011 were effective, at the reasonable assurance level, to ensure that (a) material information relating to the Company is accumulated and made known to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (b) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 2.   Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities
In March 2011 the Company granted a total of 12,413 shares of common stock to non-employee directors and an officer. The shares were granted in consideration of services, and were valued at the market value on the date of grant. The issuance of the shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act, as the issuance did not involve a public offering of securities.
