PART I

Item 1. Business.

Overview

American Locker Group Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), is a leading manufacturer of lockers, locks and keys with a wide-range of applications for use in numerous industries. The Company is best known for manufacturing and servicing the widely-utilized key and lock system with the iconic plastic orange cap. The Company serves customers in a variety of industries in all 50 states and in Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia and South America.

The Company’s products can be categorized as mailboxes, lockers or contract manufacturing services. Mailboxes are used for the delivery of mail, packages and other parcels to multi-tenant facilities. Lockers are used for applications other than mail delivery, and most of our lockers are key-controlled checking lockers. Contract manufacturing services involve producing fabricated sheet metal parts and enclosures for third parties.

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, 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, with an option to renew for one year at Disney’s option, and operations began in late November 2010.

On November 16, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with BV DFW I, LP, an affiliate of General Electric Company, to lease (the “Lease”) approximately 100,000 square feet (the “Premises”) within a building located in the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (“DFW Airport”).

Private mail delivery mailboxes—used for the internal distribution of mail in colleges and universities as well as large corporate offices.

Electronic distribution lockers—used to distribute items such as industrial supplies and library books using an electronic locking mechanism.

Lufkin Industries

The Company was incorporated as the Automated Voting Machine Corporation on December 15, 1958, as a subsidiary of Rockwell Manufacturing Company (“Rockwell”). In April 1964, the Company’s shares were distributed to the stockholders of Rockwell, and it thereby became a publicly held corporation. From 1965 to 1989, the Company acquired and disposed of a number of businesses, including the disposition of its original voting machine business. In 1985, the Company’s name was changed to American Locker Group Incorporated.

In July 2001, the Company acquired Security Manufacturing Corporation (“SMC”). SMC manufactures aluminum multi-tenant mailboxes, which historically have been sold to the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) and private markets. SMC, a wholly-owned subsidiary, manufactures painted steel and stainless steel lockers for the Company, and manufactures and sells the Company’s aluminum mailboxes.

Business Segment Financial Information

The Company, including its foreign subsidiaries, is engaged primarily in one business: the sale and concession of lockers, including coin, key-only and electronically controlled checking lockers and related locks and aluminum centralized mail and parcel distribution mailboxes. Please see the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K under Item 8.

Competition

The Company faces active competition from several manufacturers of products sold in the private market. USPS specifications limit the Company’s ability to develop mailboxes that have significant mailbox product differentiation from competitors. As a result, the Company aims to differentiate itself in the mailbox market by offering a higher level of quality and service coupled with competitive prices.

While the Company is not aware of any reliable trade statistics, it believes that its wholly-owned subsidiaries, American Locker Security Systems, Inc. and Canadian Locker Co., Ltd., are the leading suppliers of key/coin controlled checking lockers in the United States and Canada. To the Company’s knowledge, it is the only company that manufactures both the lock and locker components featured in the products sold in the locker markets in which the Company competes. Additionally, the Company believes that its recreation lockers possess a reputation for high quality and reliability. The Company believes this integrated secured storage solution, when combined with the Company’s high level of service and quality, and the reliability of its products, is a competitive advantage that differentiates the Company from its competitors in the locker markets.

The Company faces competition from several suppliers in the private market for contract manufacturing services. The Company attempts to differentiate itself from competition in the contract manufacturing market by offering competitive pricing, on-time delivery and a variety of quality products.

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, aluminum and plastic, the Company expects that any raw material price changes would be reflected in adjusted sales prices and passed on to customers. 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 metal, aluminum and plastic lockers and locks are generally considered to be adequate and are currently available in the marketplace.

Price fluctuations of raw material and other components are factors in the general economy, and the Company continues to seek ways to mitigate its impact. For example, the prices of steel and aluminum, the two primary raw materials utilized in the Company’s operations, have fluctuated widely in recent years, with higher prices in 2011 and relatively lower prices in 2009, 2010 and 2012. To the extent permitted by competition, the Company passes increased costs on to its customers by increasing sales prices over time.

Patents and Trademarks

The Company owns a number of patents and trademarks, none of which it considers to be material to the conduct of its business.

Employees

The Company and its subsidiaries actively employed 108 individuals on a full-time basis as of December 31, 2012, of whom two were based in Canada, and three were based in Hong Kong. The Company considers its relations with its employees to be satisfactory. None of the Company’s employees are represented by a union.

Dependence on Material Customer

The Company is not substantially dependent on any one customer and its largest customer accounted for less than 10% of consolidated revenue in 2012, 2011 and 2010.

Distribution and Geographic Areas

The Company sells its lockers directly to end users. Mailboxes are sold through a nationwide distributor network. The Company sells lockers in foreign countries including Canada, Chile, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Peru and the United Kingdom. During 2012, 2011 and 2010, sales in foreign countries accounted for 17.5%, 20.5%, 23.4%, respectively, of consolidated net sales.

Research and Development

The Company engages in research and development activities relating to new and improved products. It expended $99,218, $76,784 and $108,124, in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for such activity in its continuing businesses.

Impact of Government Regulations

A majority of the Company’s mailbox sales come from products, including the Horizontal 4c and Horizontal 4b+ mailboxes, that require continued USPS approval. The USPS may change product specifications and supplier approval requirements in the future. Any changes to USPS product specifications or supplier approval requirements may impact the Company’s ability to sell these products.

Compliance with Environmental Laws and Regulations

The Company’s facilities and operations are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and human health and safety. Some of these laws and regulations may impose strict, joint and several liability on certain persons for the cost of investigation or remediation of contaminated properties. These persons may include former, current or future owners or operators of properties and persons who arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances. The Company’s owned and leased real property may give rise to such investigation, remediation and monitoring liabilities under applicable environmental laws. In addition, anyone disposing of hazardous substances on such sites must comply with applicable environmental laws. Based on the information available to it, the Company believes that, with respect to its currently owned and leased properties, it is in material compliance with applicable federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. See “Item 3. Legal Proceedings” and Note 15 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included under “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” for further discussion with respect to the settlement of certain environmental litigation.

Backlog and Seasonality

Backlog of orders is not significant in the Company’s business, as shipments usually are made three to five weeks after orders are received. Sales of lockers are greatest during the spring, summer and fall months and lowest during the winter months. The Company generally experiences lower sales and net income in the first quarter ending in March.

Available Information

The Company files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) quarterly and annual reports on Forms 10-Q and 10-K, respectively, current reports on Form 8-K, and proxy statements pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in addition to other information as required from time to time. The public may read and copy any materials that the Company files with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Room 1580 Washington, D.C. 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at (800) SEC-0330. The Company files this information with the SEC electronically, and the SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov. The Company also maintains a website at http://www.americanlocker.com. The contents of the Company’s website are not part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Also, copies of the Company’s annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act are available, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company electronically files such material with, or furnishes it to, the SEC, through a link on the Company’s website.

The Company believes that its facilities, which are of varying ages and types of construction, and the machinery and equipment utilized in such facilities, are in good condition and are adequate for the Company’s presently contemplated needs.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

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. To the Company’s knowledge, the NYSDEC has not commenced implementation of the remediation plan and has not indicated when construction will start, if ever. Based upon currently available information, the Company is unable to estimate timing with respect to the resolution of this matter. 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 and continuing through the date of filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has been named as an additional defendant in approximately 234 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

Table of Contents

the Company have been produced that 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 35 cases with funds authorized and provided by the Company’s insurance carrier. Further, over 167 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 25, 2013, the most recent date information is available, is approximately 32 cases.

The Company cannot estimate potential damages or predict what the ultimate resolution of these asbestos cases may be because the discovery proceedings on the cases are not complete. However, 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.

On February 5, 2013, the Company was notified by one of its customers that certain product purchased by that customer had quality issues. On March 11, 2013, the Company and the customer entered into an agreement whereby the Company will reimburse the customer for reasonable costs and expenses incurred on or before December 31, 2013 by the customer in its efforts to resolve the quality issue. The Company has no current obligation to reimburse the customer for costs incurred after December 31, 2013 and has in place liability coverage for third-party injury and property damage that might occur as a result of the product’s quality issue. At December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a liability of $50,000 for estimated costs to be reimbursed to the customer pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

The Company is involved in other routine 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.

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

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to product returns, bad debts, inventories, intangible assets, income taxes, pensions and other post-retirement benefits, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company believes that the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

For its mailbox, contract manufacturing and locker systems sales, the Company recognizes revenue at the point of passage of title, which occurs at the time of shipment to the customer. The Company derived approximately 25.5%, 16.9% and 19.4% of its revenue in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, from sales to distributors. These distributors do not have a right to return unsold products; however, returns may be permitted in specific situations. Historically, returns have not had a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations.

For locker systems concession operations, the Company recognizes revenue when receipts are collected. Revenue is recognized for the Company’s proportional share of receipts with the remaining amounts collected recorded as an accrued liability until they are remitted to the concession contract counterparty.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. Management uses judgmental factors such as customer’s payment history and the general economic climate, as well as considering the age of and past due status of invoices, in assessing collectability and establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an inability to make payments, an increase in the allowance resulting in a charge to expense would be required.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value using the FIFO method and are categorized as raw materials, work-in-progress or finished goods.

The Company records reserves for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the actual cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions and management’s review of existing inventory. If actual demand and market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves resulting in a charge to expense would be required.

Table of Contents

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line and declining balance methods for financial reporting purposes and by accelerated methods, except for leasehold improvements which are depreciated by the straight line method, for income tax purposes. Estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes are 20 to 40 years for buildings and 3 to 12 years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the building or the lease term. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Gains and losses resulting from the sale or disposal of property and equipment are included in other income.

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of those assets may not be recoverable. The Company uses undiscounted cash flows to determine whether impairment exists and measures any impairment loss using discounted cash flows.

Pension Assumptions

The Company maintains a defined benefits plan covering its U.S. employees (the “U.S. Plan”) and a separate defined contribution plan covering its Canadian employees (the “Canadian Plan”). The accounting for the plans is based in part on specific assumptions that are uncertain and that could have a material impact on the financial statements if different reasonable assumptions were used. The assumptions for return on assets reflect the rates of earnings expected on funds invested or to be invested to provide for benefits included in the projected benefit obligation. The assumed rates of return of 7.50% and 6.0% used in 2012 for the U.S. and Canadian plans, respectively, were determined based on a forecasted rate of return for a portfolio invested 50% in equities and 50% in bonds. In addition to the assumptions related to the expected return on assets, discount rates were also assumed. The discount rates used in determining the 2012 pension costs were 4.50% and 4.13% for the U.S. and Canadian plans, respectively. Consistent with prior years, for both plans the Company uses a discount rate that approximates the average AA corporate bond rate.

Effective July 15, 2005, the Company froze the accrual of any additional benefits under the U.S. Plan. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company converted the Canadian Plan from a defined benefits plan to a defined contribution plan. 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.

Deferred Income Tax Assets

The Company had net deferred tax assets of $915,768 and $1,005,555 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The ultimate realization of the deferred income tax assets is primarily dependent on generating sufficient future taxable income or being able to carryback any taxable losses and claim refunds against previously paid income taxes. The Company has historically had taxable income and believes its net deferred income tax assets at December 31, 2012 are more likely than not realizable. If future operating results continue to generate taxable losses, it may be necessary to increase the valuation allowances to reduce the amount of the deferred income tax assets to realizable value.

Results of Operations—Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011

Overall Results and Outlook

Consolidated net sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 increased $289,850 to $13,676,186, when compared to net sales of $13,386,336 for the same period in 2011, representing a 2.2% increase. This increase was attributable primarily to increases in contract manufacturing sales partially offset by a decrease in sales of lockers. Pre-tax loss declined to $(483,145) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, from a reported pre-tax income of $80,607 for the same period of 2011. After-tax operating net loss declined to $(614,578) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, compared to net income of $37,091 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011. Net income per share (basic and diluted) was $(0.37) for the year ended December 31, 2012, which represents a decrease from a net income per share (basic and diluted) of $0.02 for the same period in 2011.

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales in 2012 were $13,676,186, an increase of $289,850, or 2.2% from net sales of $13,386,336 in 2011. Sales of lockers for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $8,327,294, a decrease of $1,194,725, or 12.5%, compared to sales of $9,522,019 for the same period of 2011. The decrease was primarily driven by decreased sales of Ambassador lockers of approximately $650,000 and a decrease of international locker sales of approximately $434,000.

Concession revenue in 2012 was $1,268,277, an increase of $119,128, or 10.4% from concession revenue of $1,149,149 in 2011. The concession revenue increase was driven by the Ocean Park concession which commenced operations in late November 2011.

Sales of mailboxes were $2,350,717 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $66,135, or 2.9%, compared to sales of $2,284,582 for the same period of 2011. The increase in sales of mailboxes was due primarily to increased sales of the 2000/3000 series mailbox.

The Company generated $1,729,898 in revenue from contract manufacturing in 2012 as compared to $430,586 in 2011, which reflects an increase of $1,299,312, or 301.8%. This increase was primarily driven by increased sales volume to new and existing customers, due to the refocusing of sales efforts from bid based, short duration contracts to sustainable relationships with Fortune 1000 customers as described below. Fourth quarter contract manufacturing revenues increased $323,479, or 164.5%, from 2011 fourth quarter contract manufacturing revenues.

Contract manufacturing includes precision sheet metal fabrication of electrical enclosures and other metal products for third party customers. 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 as a percentage of sales was 28.6% in 2012 as compared to 30.6% in 2011. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales was primarily due to increased direct and indirect labor expenses as the Company increased its focus on growing contract manufacturing revenue.

Selling, Administrative and General Expenses

Selling, administrative and general expenses in 2012 totaled $3,991,280, a decrease of $79,677 compared to $4,070,957 in 2011. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in salary, bonuses and travel expense of approximately $96,000, $59,000 and $62,000, respectively, partially offset by an increase in commission expense of approximately $132,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011. Additionally, as more fully detailed in Note 15 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company recorded a one-time contingency charge of $50,000 in 2012 as a general expense.

Other Income (Expense)—Net

Other income (expense), net in 2012 totaled $(14,005), a decrease of $134,038 compared to other income, net of $120,033 in 2011.

During May 2011 the Company relocated its corporate headquarters and Texas manufacturing facility from Grapevine, Texas to a new 100,500 sq. ft. building in DFW Airport, Texas. The Company sold its prior location to the City of Grapevine (“the City”) in 2009 (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements). The City provided $341,000 for a relocation allowance which was recorded on the balance sheet as “Deferred revenue.” The Company offset $211,768 of moving expense against deferred revenue during third quarter of 2011. The difference of $129,232 between the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2010 and the amount offset against moving expenses was recorded as “Other income”.

Interest Expense

Interest expense in 2012 totaled $116,382, an increase of $47,649 compared to $68,733 in 2011. This increase is due to an increase in borrowings outstanding under the Loan Agreement with BAML.

Income Taxes

In 2012, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $131,433 compared to income tax expense of $43,516 in 2011. The effective tax rate determined as the percentage of the tax benefit or expense to the pre-tax income was a (27.2%) expense in 2012 compared to a 53.9% expense in 2011. Although the Company reported a pre-tax loss in 2012, it was unable to record a tax benefit due to an increase in the valuation allowance, causing the effective rate to be negative.

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 believes 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 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 (as computed by the Company):

 

   

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;

 

   

Excludes non-cash equity based compensation;

 

   

Does not reflect any cash requirements for assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future.

Results of Operations—Year Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010

Overall Results and Outlook

The financial market and economic turmoil and the related disruption of the credit markets caused a significant slowdown in new construction of multifamily and commercial buildings starting in the second half of 2008 and continuing to the present has constrained revenue growth in 2011. The economic crisis 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 twelve months ended December 31, 2011 increased $1,287,324 to $13,386,336, when compared to net sales of $12,099,012 for the same period in 2010, representing a 10.6% increase. This increase was attributable primarily to increases in concession revenues and sales of lockers partially offset by a decrease in sales of mailboxes and contract manufacturing. Pre-tax income declined to $80,607 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, from a reported pre-tax income of $200,165 for the same period of 2010. After-tax operating net income declined to $37,091 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, compared to net income of $68,369 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010. Net income per share (basic and diluted) was $0.02 for the year ended December 31, 2011, which represents a decrease from a net income per share (basic and diluted) of $0.04 for the same period in 2010.

Net Sales

Consolidated net sales in 2011 were $13,386,336, an increase of $1,287,324, or 10.6% from net sales of $12,099,012 in 2010. Sales of lockers for the year ended December 31, 2011 were $9,522,019, an increase of $560,838, or 6.3%, compared to sales of $8,961,181 for the same period of 2010. The increase in locker sales 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. Additionally, the sales of products with the Company’s new electronic access technologies are increasing.

Concession revenue in 2011 was $1,149,149, an increase of $837,898, or 269.2% from concession revenue of $311,251 in 2010. The concession revenue increase was driven by the Disneyland Resort and Ocean Park concessions. Ocean Park commenced operations in late November 2011.

Sales of mailboxes were $2,284,582 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $90,100, or 3.8%, compared to sales of $2,374,682 for the same period of 2010. The decrease in sales of mailboxes was due primarily to the lack of new multifamily and commercial construction activity in the United States. The majority of the Company’s historical mailboxes sales have come from new construction and the lack of new construction activity has greatly reduced the overall market for mailboxes.

The Company generated $430,586 in revenue from contract manufacturing in 2011 as compared to $451,898 in 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. Fourth quarter contract manufacturing revenues increased $196,693, or 46%, from 2010 fourth quarter contract manufacturing revenues.

Contract manufacturing includes precision sheet metal fabrication of metal furniture, electrical enclosures and other metal products for third party customers. 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.

Gross Margin

Consolidated gross margin as a percentage of sales was 30.6% in 2011 as compared to 36.1% in 2010. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales was primarily due to the commencement of rent at the new DFW Airport facility and increased depreciation expense related to the Disney Agreement and leasehold improvements to the new facility.

Selling, Administrative and General Expenses

Selling, administrative and general expenses in 2011 totaled $4,070,957, a decrease of $146,248 compared to $4,217,205 in 2010. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in professional fees of approximately $267,000, partially offset by an increase in freight expense of approximately $117,000 for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010.

Other Income (Expense)—Net

Other income, net in 2011 totaled $120,033, an increase of $58,946 compared to other income, net of $61,087 in 2010.

During May 2011 the Company relocated its corporate headquarters and Texas manufacturing facility from Grapevine, Texas to a new 100,500 sq. ft. building in DFW Airport, Texas.

Interest Expense

Interest expense in 2011 totaled $68,733, an increase of $52,501 compared to $16,232 in 2010. This increase is due to an increase in borrowings under the outstanding Loan Agreement with BAML.

Income Taxes

In 2011, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $43,516 compared to income tax expense of $131,796 in 2010. The effective tax rate determined as the percentage of the tax benefit or expense to the pre-tax income was a 53.9% expense in 2011 compared to a 65.8% expense in 2010. The effective tax rate in 2011 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate due to permanent timing differences between expenses recorded for financial and tax reporting.

Cash Flows—Year ended December 31, 2012 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2011

Operating Activities

In 2012, net cash used by operating activities was $78,221 compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $604,784 in 2011. The change was due primarily to the increase in accounts receivable of approximately $740,000, and increase in inventory of approximately $174,000, partially offset by depreciation of approximately $744,000.

Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities was $413,737 in 2012 compared with net cash used by investing activities of $1,227,798 in 2011. The decrease was mainly due to the Company investing approximately $875,000 for leasehold improvements and machinery and equipment related to the new DFW Airport facility in 2011.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $400,000 in 2012 compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $500,000 in 2011. The change is due to the Company’s borrowings of $600,000 under its BAML Line of Credit and the $200,000 in payments made towards the Company’s Term Loan.

Cash Flows—Year ended December 31, 2011 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2010

Operating Activities

In 2011, net cash provided by operating activities was $604,784 compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $1,517,669 in 2010. The change was due primarily to the collection of the $1,409,696 income tax receivable during 2010.

Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities was $1,227,798 in 2011 compared with net cash used by investing activities of $1,968,592 in 2010. The decrease was mainly due to the capitalization of the cost of Disneyland concession lockers in 2010. See Note 4 “Disneyland Concession Agreement” to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further information. During 2011, the Company invested approximately $875,000 for leasehold improvements and machinery and equipment related to the new DFW Airport facility.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $500,000 in 2011 compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $571,412 in 2010. The change is due to the Company’s borrowings of $700,000 under its BAML Line of Credit (defined above) and the $200,000 in payments made towards the Company’s Term Loan.

Capital Resources and Debt Obligations

On December 8, 2010, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Bank of America Merrill Lynch, 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”). On November 4, 2011, the Company amended the credit agreement to include the addition of a $500,000 draw note (the “Draw Note”). On November 9, 2012, the Company amended the credit agreement to extend the availability to the Draw Note and the maturity date on the Line of Credit through October 31, 2013.

The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to fund the Company’s investment in lockers used in the Disney Agreement. The proceeds of the Line of Credit are used primarily for working capital needs in the ordinary course of business and for general corporate purposes. The Draw Note will be used to fund the Company’s investment in future concession contracts. The Company can draw up to $500,000 on the Draw Note before October 31, 2013. The Company will pay interest only on the Draw Note through November 27, 2013, after which the Company will pay interest and principal so that the balance will be paid in full as of October 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2012 there were no borrowings on the Draw Note.

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%.

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 October 31, 2013, the maturity date of the loan. Payments on the Term Loan, consisting of $16,667 in principal plus accrued interest, are due monthly beginning January 8, 2011. The entire outstanding balance of the Term Loan is due on December 8, 2015.

The credit agreement is secured by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory and equipment and contains certain 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 from incurring or assuming additional debt and from permitting liens to be placed upon any of its property, assets or revenues, except under certain limited circumstances. Additionally, the Company is prohibited from entering into certain transactions, including a merger or consolidation, without the lender’s consent.

Effect of Exchange Rate Changes on Cash

Net cash used by the effect of exchange rate changes on cash was $20,321 in 2012 as compared to net cash provided of $1,306 in 2011. The change was primarily due to the increase in value of the Canadian Dollar (“CAD”) as compared to the United States Dollar (“USD”), which caused a decrease in the value of the Company’s Canadian operation’s net assets. The CAD to USD exchange rate increased 2.3% from $0.9804 to $1.0031 between December 31, 2011 and 2012. The Hong Kong Dollar to USD exchange rate increased 0.2% from $0.1287 to $0.1290 between December 31, 2011 and 2012.

Net cash used by the effect of exchange rate changes on cash was $1,306 in 2011 as compared to net cash provided of $2,711 in 2010. The change was primarily due to the decrease in value of the Canadian Dollar (“CAD”) as compared to the United States Dollar (“USD”), which caused a decrease in the value of the Company’s Canadian operation’s net assets. The CAD to USD exchange rate decreased 1.9% from $1.0001 to $0.9804 between December 31, 2010 and 2011. The Hong Kong Dollar to USD exchange rate increased 0.2% from $0.1285 to $0.1287 between December 31, 2010 and 2011.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

On December 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $413,353, compared with $525,632 on December 31, 2011. The change relates primarily to approximately $740,000 increase in accounts receivable, partially offset by borrowings on the Line of Credit of $600,000.

Liquidity

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 December 31,  
     2012      2011  

Current Ratio

     1.36 to 1         1.52 to 1   

Working Capital

   $ 1,592,880       $ 2,085,925   

The Company’s primary sources of liquidity include available cash and cash equivalents and borrowing under the Line of Credit and available Draw Note.

The Company’s capital expenditures approximated $414,000 and $1,228,000 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The majority of these capital expenditures were related to new concession deals that were initiated in the last quarter 2012 and investments in information technology. These expenditures were significantly less than the Company’s capital expenditures in 2011, which were primarily related to the relocation of our headquarters and equipment purchases to support our concession contracts. Relocation related capital expenditures are complete. Except for capital expenditures to support future concession contracts, the Company expects future capital expenditures to be lower than the amounts expended in 2011.

Table of Contents

Expected uses of cash in fiscal 2013 include funds required to support the Company’s operating activities, capital expenditures and contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans.

In addition to borrowings under the Line of Credit and Draw Note, the Company’s plans to manage its liquidity position in 2013 by maintaining an intense focus on controlling expenses, reducing capital expenditures, continuing the Company’s implementation of LEAN manufacturing processes and reducing inventory levels by increasing sales and using excess capacity to manufacture products for third parties.

The Company has considered the impact of its financial outlook on the Company’s 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 2013.

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’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Market Risks

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, aluminum and plastic, the Company expects that any raw material price changes would be reflected in adjusted sales prices and passed on to customers. 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

Although the Company’s Canadian and Hong Kong operations subject the Company to foreign currency risk, it is not considered a significant risk because the foreign operations’ net assets represent only 8.7% of the Company’s consolidated assets at December 31, 2012. Presently, the Company does not hedge its foreign currency risk.

Effect of New Accounting Guidance

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued amendments to guidance regarding the presentation of comprehensive income (ASU 2011-05—Comprehensive Income). The amendments eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments require that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. In a single continuous statement, the entity would present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and a total of other comprehensive income, along with the total of comprehensive income in that statement. In the two-statement approach, the entity would present components of net income and total net income in the statement of net income and a statement of other comprehensive income would immediately follow the statement of net income and include the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with a total for comprehensive income. The amendments also require the entity to present on the face of the financial statements any reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from

Table of Contents

other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, when an item of other comprehensive income must be re-classed to net income or the option to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects. The amendments, excluding the specific requirement to present on the face of the financial statements any reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented which was deferred by the FASB in December 2011, are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 in the first quarter of 2012. Upon adoption, the Company elected the two-statement approach and presents a separate consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and schedule, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedule. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of American Locker Group Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

American Locker Group Incorporated and Subsidiaries

December 31, 2012

1. Basis of Presentation

Consolidation and Business Description

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Locker Group Incorporated and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), all of which are wholly owned. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is a leading manufacturer and distributor of lockers, locks and keys. The Company’s lockers can be categorized as either lockers or mailboxes. Mailboxes are used for the delivery of mail. Most lockers are key controlled checking lockers. The Company is best known for manufacturing and servicing the key and lock system with the plastic orange cap. The Company serves customers in a variety of industries in all 50 states and in Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia and South America.

Certain 2011 and 2010 financial statement line items have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include currency on hand and demand deposits with financial institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents on deposit in amounts in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant risk.

Accounts Receivable

The Company grants credit to its customers and generally does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value and do not accrue interest. Management uses judgmental factors such as a customer’s payment history and the general economic climate, as well as considering the age of and past due status of invoices in assessing collectability and establishing allowances for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted.

Estimated losses for bad debts are provided for in the consolidated financial statements through a charge to expense of approximately $48,000, $23,000 and $31,000 for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The net charge-off of bad debts was approximately $29,000, $1,300 and $113,000 for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value using the FIFO method and are categorized as raw materials, work-in-progress or finished goods.

The Company records reserves for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the actual cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions and management’s review of existing inventory. If actual demand and market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves resulting in a charge to expense would be required.

Table of Contents

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line and declining-balance methods for financial reporting purposes and by accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes are 20 to 40 years for buildings and 3 to 12 years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the building or the lease term. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Gains and losses resulting from the sale or disposal of property and equipment are included in other income.

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of those assets may not be recoverable in accordance with appropriate guidance. The Company uses undiscounted cash flows to determine whether impairment exists and measures any impairment loss using discounted cash flows. The Company recorded no asset impairment charges related to property, plant and equipment in 2012, 2011 or 2010.

Depreciation expense was $744,094 in 2012, of which $728,869 was included in cost of products sold, and $15,225 was included in selling, administrative and general expenses. Depreciation expense was $671,009 in 2011, of which $651,237 was included in cost of products sold, and $19,772 was included in selling, administrative and general expenses. Depreciation expense was $336,037 in 2010, of which $277,580 was included in cost of products sold, and $58,457 was included in selling, administrative and general expenses.

Pensions and Postretirement Benefits

The Company has two defined benefit plans which recognize a net liability or asset and an offsetting adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to report the funded status of the plans. The plan assets and obligations are measured at their year-end balance sheet date. Refer to Note 10 “Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits” for further detail on the plans.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue upon passage of title and when risks and rewards have passed to customers, which occurs at the time of shipment to the customer. The Company derived approximately 25.5%, 16.9% and 19.4% of its revenue in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, from sales to distributors. These distributors do not have a right to return unsold products; however, returns may be permitted in specific situations. Historically, returns have not had a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations. Revenues are reported net of discounts and returns and net of sales tax.

For concession operations, the Company recognizes revenue when receipts are collected. Revenue is recognized for the Company’s proportional share of receipts with the remaining amounts collected recorded as an accrued liability until they are remitted to the concession contract counterparty.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, administrative and general expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. These costs were approximately $674,000, $696,000 and $579,000 during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Advertising Expense

The cost of advertising is generally expensed as incurred. The cost of catalogs and brochures are recorded as a prepaid cost and are expensed over their useful lives, generally one year. The Company incurred approximately $165,000, $149,000 and $134,000 in advertising costs during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. income tax return. Canadian operations file income tax returns in Canada. Hong Kong operations file income tax returns in Hong Kong. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with appropriate accounting guidance. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the Company’s deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

Pursuant to appropriate accounting guidance, ASC-740—Income Taxes, when establishing a valuation allowance, the Company considers future sources of taxable income such as “future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards” and “tax planning strategies.” Appropriate accounting guidance defines a tax planning strategy as “an action that: is prudent and feasible; an enterprise ordinarily might not take, but would take to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused; and would result in realization of deferred tax assets.” In the event the Company determines that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future, the valuation adjustment to the deferred tax assets is charged to earnings in the period in which the Company makes such a determination. If it is later determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized, the Company will release the valuation allowance to current earnings.

The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Company’s estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to management’s assessment of relevant risks, facts and circumstances existing at that time, pursuant to appropriate accounting guidance. Appropriate accounting guidance requires a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company records a liability for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to appropriate accounting guidance and tax position taken or expected to be taken on the tax return. To the extent that the Company’s assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. The Company reports tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense.

Research and Development

The Company engages in research and development activities relating to new and improved products. It expended approximately $99,000, $77,000 and $108,000 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for such activity in its continuing businesses. Research and development costs are included in selling, administrative and general expenses.

Earnings Per Share

The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with appropriate accounting guidance. Under appropriate accounting guidance basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of stock options, whereas diluted earnings per share assumes exercise of stock options, when dilutive, resulting in an increase in outstanding shares. Please refer to Note 13 for further information.

Foreign Currency

In accordance with appropriate accounting guidance the Company translates the financial statements of the Canadian and Hong Kong subsidiaries from its functional currency into the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts are

 

31


Table of Contents

translated using the average exchange rate for the year. All translation gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates from year to year have been reported in other comprehensive income. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from current year exchange rate transactions are insignificant for all years presented.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt approximate fair value.

Comprehensive Income

Comprehensive income consists of net income, foreign currency translation and minimum pension liability adjustments and is reported in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, product returns, pension, post-retirement benefits, contingencies, and deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued amendments to guidance regarding the presentation of comprehensive income (ASU 2011-05—Comprehensive Income). The amendments eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments require that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. In a single continuous statement, the entity would present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and a total of other comprehensive income, along with the total of comprehensive income in that statement. In the two-statement approach, the entity would present components of net income and total net income in the statement of net income and a statement of other comprehensive income would immediately follow the statement of net income and include the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with a total for comprehensive income. The amendments also require the entity to present on the face of the financial statements any reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, when an item of other comprehensive income must be re-classed to net income or the option to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects. The amendments, excluding the specific requirement to present on the face of the financial statements any reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented which was deferred by the FASB in December 2011, are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 in the first quarter of 2012. Upon adoption, the Company elected the two-statement approach and presents a separate consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

3. Sale of Property

On September 18, 2009, the Company sold its headquarters and primary manufacturing facility to the City of Grapevine, Texas (the “City”) for a purchase price of $2,747,000.

The Company was 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 June 2011. During May 2011, the Company relocated its corporate headquarters and primary manufacturing facility from Grapevine, Texas to a new 100,500 sq. ft. building in DFW Airport, Texas. The Company received a $341,000 payment towards the moving costs at closing which was recorded as “Deferred revenue” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010. The Company offset $211,768 of moving expense against deferred revenue in 2011. The difference of $129,232 between the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2010 and the amount offset against moving expenses was recorded as “Other income.” Proceeds of the sale were used to pay off the $2 million mortgage secured by the property and for general working capital purposes.

The Company invested approximately $875.000 during 2011 for leasehold improvements and machinery and equipment related to relocating.

4. 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 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, with an option to renew for one year at Disney’s option, and operations began in late November 2010. The Agreement contains a buyout option at the end of each contract year and 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 the Company is depreciating such costs over the five year term of the agreement. The Company recognizes revenue for its portion of the revenue as it is collected.

On December 8, 2010, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with 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”). On November 9, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Amendment”) that included the addition of a $500,000 draw note (the “Draw Note”). On November 9, 2012, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Loan Agreement, which extended availability under the Draw Note, and the maturity date of the Line of Credit, to October 31, 2013.

The Draw Note is to be used to fund the Company’s investment in future concession contracts. The Company can draw up to $500,000 on the Draw Note before October 31, 2013. The Company will pay interest only on the Draw Note through November 27, 2013, after which the Company will pay interest and principal so that the balance will be paid in full as of October 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2012 there were no borrowings on the Draw Note.

The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to fund the Company’s investment in lockers used in the Disney 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 December 31, 2012, there was $1,300,000 outstanding on the Line of Credit.

The outstanding principal balances of the Line of Credit, the Draw Note 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 October 31, 2013. 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.

Table of Contents

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.

Differences between the application of accounting principles and tax laws cause differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and tax purposes. The tax effects of these differences, to the extent they are temporary, are recorded as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31 are as follows:

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s gross deferred tax assets were approximately $2,058,000 and $1,705,000, respectively. Gross deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2012 reflect the benefit of approximately $2,993,000 in net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes which are available to offset future income tax and expire in varying amounts between 2027 and 2032. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards. Due to negative evidence, primarily limited operating income, indicating that a valuation allowance is required, gross deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 of approximately $1,142,000 and $699,000, respectively. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable

income during the carryforward period are reduced. Increases in the valuation allowance in 2012 are primarily due to decreased forecasted future U.S. taxable income exclusive of timing reversals.

The Company has not provided deferred taxes for taxes that could result from the remittance of undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiary since it has generally been the Company’s intention to reinvest these earnings indefinitely. Undistributed earnings that could be subject to additional income taxes if remitted were approximately $164,000 at December 31, 2012.

The Company files an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Texas, and a number of other U.S. state and local jurisdictions. Tax returns for the years 2008 through 2012 remain open for examination in various tax jurisdictions in which it operates. On January 1, 2007 the Company adopted the provisions of a new accounting pronouncement that addresses the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. As a result of this adoption, the Company recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, and at December 31, 2012, there were no unrecognized tax benefits. As of December 31, 2012, no interest related to uncertain tax positions had been accrued.

10. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

U.S. Pension Plan

The Company maintains a defined benefit pension plan for its domestic employees (the “U.S. Plan”), which was frozen effective July 15, 2005. Accordingly, no new benefits are being accrued under the U.S. Plan. Participant accounts are credited with interest at the federally mandated rates. Company contributions are based on computations by independent actuaries.

The plan’s assets are invested in a balanced index fund (the “Fund”) where the assets were invested during 2010, 2011 and 2012. The principal investment objective of the Fund is to provide an incremental risk adjusted return compared to a portfolio invested 50% in stocks and 50% in bonds over a full market cycle. Under normal market conditions, the average asset allocation for the Fund is expected to be approximately 50% in stocks and 50% in bonds. This benchmark allocation may be adjusted by up to 20% based on economic or market conditions and liquidity needs. Therefore, the stock allocation may fluctuate from 30% to 70% of the total portfolio, with a corresponding bond allocation of from 70% to 30%. Fund reallocation may take place at any time.

Canadian Pension Plan

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 Canadian Plan’s assets are invested in various pooled funds (the “Canadian Funds”) managed by a third party fund manager. The principal investment objective of the Canadian Funds is to provide an incremental risk adjusted return compared to a portfolio invested 50% in stocks and 50% in bonds over a full market cycle. Under normal market conditions, the average asset allocation for the Canadian Funds is expected to be approximately 50% in stocks and 50% in bonds. This benchmark allocation may be adjusted based on economic or market conditions and liquidity needs.

On July 6, 2012, the U.S. Government enacted the “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act”, which contained provisions that changed the interest rate methodology used to calculate Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) minimum pension funding requirements in the U.S. This change reduced the Company’s near-term annual cash funding requirements for the U.S. pension plan. Contributions to be made to the plan in 2013 are expected to approximate $100,000 for the U.S. Plan and $79,000 for the Canadian Plan. However, contributions for 2014 and beyond have not been quantified at this time.

The change in projected benefit obligation, change in plan assets and reconciliation of funded status for the plans were as follows:

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic require 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 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:

 

            December 31, 2012  
            US Plan      Canadian Plan  

Cash and cash equivalents

     Level 1       $ 261,655       $ 50,329

Expected benefits to be paid by the plans during the next five years and in the aggregate for the five fiscal years thereafter, are as follows:

 

     U.S. Plan      Canadian Plan

   $ 135,274       $ 94,392

2018 through 2022

     841,875         245,860   

Benefit obligations are determined using assumptions at the end of each fiscal year and are not impacted by expected rate of return on plan assets. The weighted average assumptions used in computing the benefit obligations for the plans were as follows:

 

     U.S. Plan     Canadian Plan  
         2012             2011             2012             2011      

Weighted average assumptions as of December 31:

        

Discount rate

     3.85     4.50     3.60     4.13

Rate of compensation increase

                   2.00     2.00

The weighted average assumptions used in computing net pension expense for the plans were as follows:

 

     U.S. Plan     Canadian Plan  
         2012             2011             2012             2011      

Weighted average assumptions as of December 31:

        

Discount rate

     4.50     5.50     4.13     6.25

Expected return on plan assets

     7.50     7.50     6.00     7.00

Rate of compensation increase

                   2.00     2.00

The expected return on plan assets is based upon anticipated returns generated by the investment vehicle. Any shortfall in the actual return has the effect of increasing the benefit obligation. The benefit obligation represents the actuarial present value of benefits attributed to employee service rendered; assuming future compensation levels are used to measure the obligation. The accumulated benefit obligation for the U.S. Plan was $4,100,047 and $3,829,727 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligation for the Canadian Plan was $1,500,537 and $1,441,482 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Death Benefit Plan

The Company also provides a death benefit for retired former employees of the Company. Effective in 2000, the Company discontinued this benefit for active employees. The death benefit is not a funded plan. The Company pays the benefit upon the death of the retiree. The Company has fully recorded its liability in connection with this plan. The liability was approximately $64,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is recorded as long-term pension and other benefits in the accompanying balance sheets. No expense was recorded in 2012, 2011 or 2010 related to the death benefit, as the plan is closed to new participants.

Defined Contribution Plan

During 1999, the Company established a 401(k) plan for the benefit of its U.S. full-time employees. Under the Company’s 401(k) plan, the Company makes an employer matching contribution equal to $0.10 for each $1.00 of an employee’s salary contributions up to a total of 10% of that employee’s compensation. The Company’s contributions vest over a period of five years. The Company recorded expense of approximately $12,000, $4,000 and $12,000 in connection with its contribution to the plan during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Table of Contents

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company converted the Canadian Plan from a defined benefit plan to a defined contribution 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 Company recorded expense of approximately $4,600, $4,000 and $4,000 in connection with its contribution to the plan during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

11. Capital Stock

The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes 4,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and 200,000 shares of preferred stock have been designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. During 2012, the Company issued 3,986 shares of common stock as compensation to the directors and 3,334 shares as compensation to executive officers, and increased other capital by $3,917 representing compensation expense of $11,237. During 2011, the Company issued 26,313 shares of common stock as compensation to the directors and 11,580 shares as compensation to executive officers, and increased other capital by $19,207 representing compensation expense of $57,100. As of December 31, 2012, 1,879,319 shares of common stock had been issued, of which 1,687,319 shares were outstanding, and zero shares of preferred stock were outstanding.

12. Stock-Based Compensation

In 1999, the Company adopted the American Locker Group Incorporated 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, permitting the Company to provide incentive compensation of the types commonly known as incentive stock options, stock options and stock appreciation rights. The price of option shares or appreciation rights granted under the Plan shall not be less than the fair market value of common stock on the date of grant, and the term of the stock option or appreciation right shall not exceed ten years from date of grant. Upon exercise of a stock appreciation right granted in connection with a stock option, the optionee shall surrender the option and receive payment from the Company of an amount equal to the difference between the option price and the fair market value of the shares applicable to the options surrendered on the date of surrender. Such payment may be in shares, cash or both at the discretion of the Company’s Stock Option-Executive Compensation Committee.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no stock appreciation rights outstanding.

Key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the grant price of the award, the expected option term, volatility of the Company’s stock, the risk-free rate, estimated forfeitures and the Company’s dividend yield. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company.

No stock options were granted during 2012, 2011 and 2010, and no stock option expense was recorded.

The Company did not have any customers that accounted for more than 10% of consolidated sales in 2012, 2011, or 2010.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had unsecured trade receivables from governmental agencies of approximately $8,000 and $26,000, respectively. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had trade receivables from customers considered to be distributors of approximately $583,000 and $334,000, respectively.

At December 31, 2012, the Company had six customers that accounted for 27.0% of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2011, the Company had four customers that accounted for 43.2% of accounts receivable. Other concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across many industries.

15. 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. To the Company’s knowledge, the NYSDEC has not commenced implementation of the remediation plan and has not indicated when construction will start, if ever. Based upon currently available information, the Company is unable to estimate timing with respect to the resolution of this matter. 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 and continuing through the date of filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has been named as an additional defendant in approximately 234 cases pending in state court in Massachusetts and 1 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 35 cases with funds authorized and provided by the Company’s insurance carrier. Further, over 167 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 25, 2013, the most recent date information is available, is approximately 32 cases.

While the Company cannot estimate potential damages or predict what the ultimate resolution of these asbestos cases may be because 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.

On February 5, 2013, the Company was notified by one of its customers that certain product purchased by that customer had quality issues. On March 11, 2013, the Company and the customer entered into an agreement whereby the Company will reimburse the customer for reasonable costs and expenses incurred on or before December 31, 2013 by the customer in its efforts to resolve the quality issue. The Company has no current obligation to reimburse the customer for costs incurred after December 31, 2013 and has in place liability coverage for third-party injury and property damage that might occur as a result of the product’s quality issue. At December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a liability of $50,000 for estimated costs to be reimbursed to the customer pursuant to the terms of the agreement.

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.

16. Restructuring

In 2009, the Company restructured its business operations to rationalize its cost structure in an uncertain economic environment. The restructuring included plans for the relocation and consolidation of its Ellicottville, New York operations into its Texas facility. This planned relocation resulted in severance and payroll charges during the year ended December 31, 2009 of $264,000. At December 31, 2012 the balance remaining of such payments was $27,900 and the Company expects to make such payment before March 31, 2013.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company commenced the Ellicottville relocation, resulting in the realization of expense for discontinued inventory, severance and professional fees to complete the move. As a result, the Company recorded a restructuring charge in 2012 of approximately $283,900.

When completed, the restructuring and relocation is expected to result in approximately $240,000 in annual cost savings. Accrued restructuring expenses of $39,900 are included in “Other accrued expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, while the $89,000 increase to inventory obsolescence is included in “Inventory reserve.”

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the specified time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and President, the Company’s principal executive officer (“CEO”), who is also serving as Interim Chief Financial Officer, the Company’s principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2012. Based on that evaluation, our CEO concluded that, as of that date, our disclosure controls and procedures required by paragraph (b) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.

Our management performed an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, utilizing the criteria described in the “Internal Control—Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The objective of this assessment was to determine whether our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.

Based on management’s assessment, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2012.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to
