Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is filed as an amendment to the Current Report on Form 8-K dated June 4, 2014, filed by HC2 Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) disclosing the completion of the acquisition of 2,500,000 shares, or approximately 60% of the outstanding stock of Schuff International, Inc. (“Schuff”) from SAS Venture LLC. This amendment on Form 8-K/A is being filed to provide financial statements and pro forma financial statements required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K.

Subsequent to this initial investment, the Company negotiated an agreement to purchase an additional 198,411 shares, which increased the Company’s ownership interest to approximately 65%.

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Schuff International, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Schuff International, Inc. and subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 29, 2013, and December 30, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2013.

Management’s responsibility for the financial statements

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

Auditor’s responsibility

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

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

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

Opinion

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Schuff International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 29, 2013 and December 30,


2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2013, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

Schuff International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (“Schuff” or the “Company”) are primarily steel fabrication and erection contractors with headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona and operations in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Kansas and California. The Company’s construction projects are primarily in the aforementioned states. In addition, the Company has construction projects in select international markets, primarily Panama. Its wholly-owned subsidiaries are Schuff Steel Company, Schuff Steel – Atlantic, L.L.C., Quincy Joist Company, Schuff Steel – Gulf Coast, Inc., On-Time Steel Management Holding, Inc., Schuff Steel Management Company – Southwest, Inc., Schuff Steel Company – Panama, S de RL, Schuff Premier Services, L.L.C., Schuff Steel Management Company – Colorado, L.L.C. (dormant) and Schuff Steel Management Company – Southeast, L.L.C. (dormant).

On July 1, 2011, the Company formed Schuff Hopsa Engineering, Inc. (“SHE”), a Panamanian joint venture providing steel fabrication services, with Empresas Hopsa, S.A. The Company has a 49% interest in SHE but controls the operations of SHE, as provided in the operating agreement. Therefore, the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of SHE are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company. Empresas Hopsa, S.A.’s 51% interest in SHE is presented as a non-controlling interest component of total equity.

Stock Repurchase

On December 29, 2011, the Company repurchased approximately 5,600,000 shares of its common stock from its majority shareholders, Plainfield Asset Management, L.L.C. (“Plainfield”) and D.E. Shaw Laminar Portfolios, LLC (“Shaw”), at a negotiated price of $13.25 per share. The Company used proceeds from a term loan and unsecured note, along with borrowings under its Credit Facility and excess cash to fund the purchase of the shares. As a result of the transaction, Plainfield and Shaw no longer hold any shares of common stock of the Company. The repurchased shares are recorded at cost and presented as treasury stock in the accompanying Statement of Stockholders’ Equity.

Fiscal Year

The Company uses a 4-4-5 week quarterly cycle ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. Fiscal 2013 covered the period from December 31, 2012 to December 29, 2013 (hereinafter 2013). Fiscal 2012 covered the period from January 2, 2012 to December 30, 2012 (hereinafter 2012). Fiscal 2011 covered the period from January 3, 2011 to January 1, 2012 (hereinafter 2011).

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Schuff International, Inc. and all wholly-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements also include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of its controlled subsidiary. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, references in this report to the Company’s earnings per share, net income and stockholders’ equity attributable to its common shareholders do not include amounts attributable to non-controlling interests.

Operating Cycle

Balance sheet items expected to be paid or received within one year are classified as current. Assets and liabilities relating to long-term construction contracts are included in current assets and current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, since they will be realized or liquidated in the normal course of contract completion, although completion may require more than one year.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash consists of cash in interest bearing checking accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Receivables

Receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a specific reserve for questionable accounts. In accordance with industry practice, receivables include retainage, a portion of which may not be realized within one year. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts using historical experience and by evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history and current economic conditions. Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible and recoveries of amounts previously written off are recorded in income when received. The Company does not routinely charge interest on past due amounts unless it must pursue formal collection or legal actions.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and receivables. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and certain other financial instruments with a large financial institution. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions that are considered in the Company’s investment strategy. During the year, the Company maintained cash in United States financial institutions in excess of FDIC limits. At year end, there was $1,115,000 being held in United States banks, of which $698,000 was in excess of the FDIC limits. During the year, the Company also maintained cash in financial institutions outside of the United States. At year end, there was $1,081,000 (denominated in U.S. dollars) being held in banks outside of the United States, none of which is covered by the FDIC. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables are limited as the Company’s customers tend to be larger general contractors on adequately funded projects and the Company has certain lien rights.

Inventories

Inventories, primarily steel components, are stated at the lower of cost or market under the first-in, first-out method.

Long-Lived Assets with Definite Lives

The Company continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate potential impairment of long-lived assets, indicating the remaining balance of these assets may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that these assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company’s management uses several factors to measure impairment, including the Company’s projection of future operating cash flows relating to these assets. No impairment losses were recorded in 2013, 2012 and 2011.

SCHUFF INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 29, 2013

 

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is determined on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging from 5 to 40 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 15 years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lives of the leases or estimated useful lives of the assets, whichever is shorter. When assets are sold or otherwise retired, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the books and the resulting gain or loss is included in operating results. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its property, plant, and equipment based upon the estimated cash flows to be generated by the related assets. If impairment is indicated, a loss is recognized. No impairment losses were recorded in 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Investments

Investments in non-wholly-owned companies are generally consolidated or accounted for under the equity method of accounting when the Company has a 20% to 50% ownership interest or exercises significant influence over the venture. If the Company’s interest exceeds 50% or, if the Company has the power to direct the economic activities of the entity and the obligation to absorb losses, the results of the non-wholly-owned company are consolidated herein. All other investments are generally accounted for under the cost method.

Deferred Financing Costs

The Company capitalizes certain expenses incurred in connection with its long-term debt and line of credit obligations and amortizes them over the term of the respective debt agreement. The amortization expense of the deferred financing costs is included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. If the Company redeems portions of its long-term debt prior to the maturity date, deferred financing costs are charged to expense on a pro rata basis.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized. It is tested annually for impairment (and in interim periods if events or circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may be impaired).

Goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, which is used to identify potential impairment, compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be impaired and the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test must be performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined in the same manner as the amount of goodwill recognized in a business combination. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess.

As a result of the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test (performed on November 1, 2011), the Company concluded that the carrying value of one of its reporting units exceeded its fair value and resulted in an approximately $7,061,000 write-down of goodwill. The impairment resulted from a combination of factors, including the U.S. construction market downturn, a decline in margins for the reporting unit and continued depressed operating results and estimated future cash flows relating to the reporting unit.

SCHUFF INTERNATIONAL, INC.

The fair values of the Company’s other reporting units exceeded the related carrying value and, therefore, impairment of the related goodwill was not indicated.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the year ended January 1, 2012 were as follows:

 

     Carrying
Amount
 
     (in thousands)  

Balance at January 3, 2011

   $ 17,115  

Impairment

     7,061  
  

 

 

 

Balance at January 1, 2012

   $ 10,054  
  

 

 

 

The Company performed its 2013 and 2012 annual impairment assessments in December 2013 and December 2012, respectively, and concluded that no impairment was indicated. There were no changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the years ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

The Company performs its services primarily under fixed-price contracts and recognizes revenues and costs from construction projects using the percentage of completion method. Under this method, revenue is recognized based upon either the ratio of the costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs to complete the project or the ratio of tons fabricated to date to total estimated tons. Revenue recognition begins when work has commenced. Costs include all direct material and labor costs related to contract performance, subcontractor costs, indirect labor, and fabrication plant overhead costs, which are charged to contract costs as incurred. Revenues relating to changes in the scope of a contract are recognized when the work has commenced, the Company has made an estimate of the amount that is probable of being paid for the change and there is a high degree of probability that the charges will be approved by the customer or general contractor. At December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, the Company had $26,406,000 and $9,910,000, respectively, of unapproved change orders on open projects, for which it has recognized revenues on a percent complete basis in each fiscal year. While the Company has been successful in having the majority of its change orders approved in prior years, there is no guarantee that the majority of unapproved change orders at December 29, 2013 will be approved. Revisions in estimates during the course of contract work are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts requiring the revision become known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period a loss on a contract becomes determinable.

Construction contracts with customers generally provide that billings are to be made monthly in amounts which are commensurate with the extent of performance under the contracts. Contract receivables arise principally from the balance of amounts due on progress billings on jobs under construction. Retentions on contract receivables are amounts due on progress billings, which are withheld until the completed project has been accepted by the customer.

Costs and recognized earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts primarily represent revenue earned under the percentage of completion method which has not been billed. Billings in excess of related costs and recognized earnings on uncompleted contracts represent amounts billed on contracts in excess of the revenue allowed to be recognized under the percentage of completion method on those contracts.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year before giving effect to stock options and unvested restricted stock grants. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year after giving effect to stock options and unvested restricted stock grants.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized, net of any valuation allowance, for deductible temporary differences and net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. The Company regularly evaluates the realizeability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its forecasts of future taxable income and reviewing available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets. Based on this evaluation, it was determined that realization of the deferred tax assets is more likely than not.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. Fair value of the restricted stock units awarded is based on the current traded price of the Company’s stock. Restricted stock grants (“Grants”) vest over three or five years. The Grants provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the agreements).

Self-insurance

The Company is self-insured for its medical and dental insurance and its employees’ workers’ compensation claims (up to certain stop-loss limits). An estimate for medical and dental insurance and workers’ compensation claims is charged to income for claims incurred but not paid, claims incurred but not reported and for future claims from injuries existing at year-end.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The carrying amounts of long term accounts receivable approximate fair value based on the collection analysis performed and recording of necessary reserves. The fair values of the Company’s long term borrowings are estimated based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. Such values approximate the carrying value of the borrowings as of fiscal year end.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Any derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities at their fair value in the balance sheet with the changes in the fair value reported in current-period earnings.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company routinely evaluates its estimates, including those related to the extent of progress towards completion, contract revenues and contract costs on long-term contracts, bad debts, income taxes, impairment of long-lived assets, including goodwill, inventories, environmental matters and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical 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 under different assumptions and conditions.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance clarifying the accounting for the release of a cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Company does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In 2013, the FASB issued new accounting guidance clarifying the accounting for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount under the arrangement is fixed at the reporting date. The new standard is effective for fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Company does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In 2013, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that will require the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits as reductions to deferred tax assets rather than as liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The new standard requires adoption on a prospective basis in the first quarter of 2015; however, early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate that this adoption will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The proceeds of the Real Estate Term Loan, in conjunction with cash generated from operations, proceeds from the sale of Quincy Joist Company assets and borrowings under the Credit Facility, were used to pay the remaining balance of the term loan with GB Merchant Partners, LLC (“GB Loan”).

In connection with paying the remaining balance of the GB Loan during the year ended December 29, 2013, the Company incurred prepayment penalties of approximately $540,000 (included in interest expense in consolidated statements of operations) and wrote-off debt issue costs of approximately $1,425,000 (included in other expense in the consolidated statements of operations).

The Credit Facility has a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 4.00% (4.25% at December 29, 2013) and requires monthly interest payments.

The Credit Facility is secured by a first priority, perfected security interest in all of the Company’s assets, excluding the real estate, and its present and future subsidiaries and a second priority, perfected security interest in all of the Company’s real estate. The security agreements pursuant to which the Company’s assets are pledged prohibit any further pledge of such assets without the written consent of the bank.

The Credit Facility contains various restrictive covenants. At December 29, 2013, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The Company has a Line of Credit Agreement (“International LOC”) with Banco General, S.A. (“Banco General”) in Panama pursuant to which Banco General agreed to advance up to a maximum amount of $3,500,000. The line of credit is secured by a first priority, perfected security interest in the SHE’s property and plant. The interest rate is 5.25% plus 1% of the special interest compensation fund (“FECI”). The line of credit contains covenants that, among other things, limit the SHE’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, change its business, merge, consolidate or dissolve and sell, lease, exchange or otherwise dispose of its assets, without prior written notice.

At December 29, 2013, the Company had $1,996,000 of borrowings and $3,902,000 of outstanding letters of credit issued under its Credit Facility. There was $44,102,000 available under the Company’s Credit Facility at December 29, 2013. At December 29, 2013, the Company had no borrowings and no outstanding letters of credit issued under its International LOC. There was $3,500,000 available under the Company’s International LOC at December 29, 2013.

The Company made interest payments of approximately $3,813,000, $4,865,000, and $615,000 for the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively, on its long-term debt and line of credit.

Total income tax payments for the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, were approximately $4,845,000, $2,779,000 and $492,000, respectively. For the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Company received tax refunds of approximately $7,000, $1,424,000 and $1,725,000, respectively.

The Company has not provided for U.S. income taxes or foreign withholding taxes on undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries as they are considered to be reinvested indefinitely. Upon remittance of those earnings in the form of dividends or under other circumstances, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes and withholding taxes payable to various foreign countries less an adjustment for foreign tax credits. It is not practical to estimate the amount of tax liability related to earnings of these foreign subsidiaries.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions by recognizing the financial statement effects of a tax position when, based on the technical merits, it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position will be sustained upon examination.

As of December 29, 2013, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits. The Company does not anticipate a significant change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.

The Company may, from time to time, be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to its financial results. In the event the Company has received an assessment of interest and/or penalties, the interest has been classified as interest expense while the penalties have been classified as selling, general and administrative expense in the financial statements. As of December 29, 2013, the Company had no accrual of interest related to uncertain tax positions. As of December 30, 2012, the Company had accrued $157,000 of interest related to uncertain tax positions.

9. Employee Retirement Plans

The Company maintains a 401(k) retirement savings plan which covers eligible employees and permits participants to contribute to the plan, subject to Internal Revenue Code restrictions. The plan also permits the Company to make discretionary matching contributions. The discretionary matching contributions are 100% vested three years from the employee’s date of hire. On April 1, 2010, the Company suspended its discretionary matching contribution. The discretionary matching contributions were reinstated on September 1, 2011. Discretionary matching contributions amounted to approximately $894,000, $825,000 and $230,000 for the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively.

Certain of the Company’s fabrication and erection workforce are subject to collective bargaining agreements. The Company contributes to union-sponsored, multi-employer pension plans. Contributions are made in accordance with negotiated labor contracts. The passage of the Multi-Employer Pension Plan Amendments Act of 1980 (the Act) may, under certain circumstances, cause the Company to become subject to liabilities in excess of contributions made under collective bargaining agreements. Generally, liabilities are contingent upon the termination, withdrawal, or partial withdrawal from the plans. Under the Act, liabilities would be based upon the Company’s proportionate share of each plan’s unfunded vested benefits.

Effective March 31, 2012, the Company withdrew from the Steelworkers Pension Trust and incurred an initial withdrawal liability of approximately $2,576,000. During 2013, the Company negotiated with the Steelworkers Pension Trust and reduced the liability to approximately $2,378,000. The Company is required to make quarterly payments of approximately $195,000 through September 1, 2015. The remaining balance of the withdrawal liability at December 29, 2013 was approximately $1,358,000, and is included in Other Liabilities (current and long-term) in the consolidated balance sheets. Prior to its withdrawal from the Steelworkers Pension Trust, the Company made contributions of $183,000 and $584,000 during the years ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively.

The Company made contributions to the California Ironworkers Field Pension Trust (“Field Pension”) of $3,153,000, $5,114,000 and $2,760,000 during the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively. The Company’s funding policy is to make monthly contributions to the plan. The Company’s employees represent less than 5% of the participants in the Field Pension. As of December 29, 2013, the Company has not undertaken to terminate, withdraw, or partially withdraw from the Field Pension.

The Company has a 401(k) defined contribution retirement savings plan (“Union 401k”) for union steelworkers. Contributions made to the Union 401k by union steelworkers are 100% vested immediately.

To replace the Company’s funding into the Steelworkers Pension Trust, the Company agreed to make profit share contributions to the Union 401k beginning on April 1, 2012. Union steelworkers are eligible for the profit share contributions after completing a probationary period (640 hours of work) and are 100% vested three years from the date of hire. Union steelworkers are not required to make contributions to the Union 401k to receive the profit share contributions. Profit share contributions are made for each hour worked by each eligible union steelworker at the following rates: $1.45 per hour from April 1, 2012 to May 6, 2012; $0.45 per hour from May 7, 2012 to March 31, 2013; $0.50 per hour from April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014 and $0.55 per hour from April 1, 2014 and beyond. Profit share contributions amounted to approximately $138,000 and $105,000 for the years ended December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively.

12. Related Party Transactions and Leases

The Company leased a property under terms of an operating lease agreement from a partnership owned by the majority shareholder and his family. On January 4, 2014, the Company purchased the property for approximately $6,000,000 from the partnership and terminated the related lease.

Rent expense under the related party lease totaled approximately $569,000 for the year ended December 29, 2013 and $694,000 for each of the years ended December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012.

The Company also leases certain property, vehicles, and equipment from nonrelated parties for which it incurred rent expense of approximately $725,000, $529,000 and $670,000 for the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, respectively.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved from time to time through the ordinary course of business in certain claims, litigation, and assessments. Due to the nature of the construction industry, the Company’s employees from time to time become subject to injury, or even death, while employed by the Company. The Company does not believe there are any such contingencies at December 29, 2013 for which the eventual outcome would have a material adverse impact on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company, except as recorded in these financial statements.

On February 9, 2009, the Roosevelt Irrigation District (“RID”) brought suit in the United States District Court for the District Court of Arizona against Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District and approximately one-hundred other defendants, including the Company’s subsidiary, Schuff Steel Company (“SSC”). RID operates one-hundred groundwater wells in western Maricopa County and contends that approximately twenty of its wells are contaminated. RID asserts recovery against the defendants under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA” or “Superfund”) for the recovery of costs incurred by RID in responding to the defendants’ alleged releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances into groundwater that allegedly impact or threaten to impact the groundwater in the West Van Buren area of Phoenix, Arizona. RID has submitted an Early Response Action (“ERA”) to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”) and has asserted future potential remediation costs in excess of $40,000,000. ADEQ received substantial public comment against the ERA. In July 2010, the ADEQ granted conditional approval to RID’s remediation plan with a substantial number of conditions and milestones. Accordingly, RID amended its complaint and SSC was served with the first amended complaint in late July 2010. Initially, most defendants filed either various motions to dismiss RID’s complaint or motions for summary judgment based on certain legal theories but the Court dismissed these motions without prejudice to focus on substantial motions to disqualify counsel for RID based upon various conflicts of interest with RID’s chosen counsel. The Court granted certain motions by five defendants to disqualify RID’s counsel by order dated August 26, 2011. RID has modified their ERA (“MERA”) and proposed a reduced scale project which was given conditional approval by ADEQ on February 1, 2013. On July 29, 2013, RID submitted its Second Amended Complaint, in which SSC was no longer a defendant. Accordingly, SSC is not currently involved in the litigation and to date, no other defendant has brought third-party or contribution claims against SSC.

On February 5, 2010, Silver Steel, Inc. (“Silver”) brought suit in Clark County, Nevada District Court (the “Court”) against the Company’s subsidiary SSC and our bonding company. Silver acted as second tier subcontractor to SSC on the Sobella Retail project (“project”), which was part of the City Center Project in Las Vegas, Nevada. Silver agreed in October, 2007, to a fixed price of approximately $1,483,000 to perform metal deck installation and to perform extra work at agreed upon hourly rates. During the project, Silver submitted over 500 extra work orders (“EWO”), which were then bundled into proposed change orders (“PCO”). Twenty-four executed change orders were issued totaling approximately $3,305,000, for a total adjusted contract of approximately $4,788,000. SSC has paid the adjusted contract value. Silver completed construction of the base scope of its work in August 2008. It performed extra work on the project into January 2009. Silver never complained during the project about any unpaid extra work or alleged impacts. Thereafter, on February 26, 2009, Silver first gave SSC notice of a claim in PCO 43, in the amount of $666,000. SSC arranged for Silver to present its claim to Perini Construction Company (“Perini”), the general contractor, which denied the claim, in part because there was no backup presented by Silver. SSC claimed that it was prejudiced by the late claim, because if it had been put on notice of an impact during the course of the project, it could have taken action to minimize the impact or to pass the claim upstream to Perini or the owner. Silver’s initial claims in the litigation were for breach of contract, among other legal theories, against SSC for allegedly unpaid work and its alleged damages, which had increased to $2,433,000. SSC has denied any liability. In November 2011, Silver

increased its total cost claim for damages to approximately $4,300,000. SSC continued to dispute that Silver is entitled to any additional amounts and that the damages claims are incorrect and based upon unsupportable facts and assumptions. Trial in this matter occurred between February 7 and 21, 2012. By order dated July 16, 2013, the court rejected Silver’s claims for additional compensation but found that SSC had not paid Silver approximately $112,000 in approved change orders. SSC filed a motion to amend the findings to show that Silver had been paid its full contract balance. By order dated October 22, 2013, the court substantially granted SSC’s motion to amend the findings showing that Silver has been paid its full contract balance with the exception of approximately $9,000. The court also award SSC its attorneys’ fees and costs of approximately $213,000. SSC intends to aggressively seek collection of its attorneys’ fees and costs.

In December 2012, two lawsuits were filed against our subsidiaries that involve fabrication work pertaining to a refinery in Whiting, Indiana (“BP Refinery”), owned by a subsidiary of British Petroleum (“BP”). BP brought suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana (the “Indiana suit”) against Carboline Company (“Carboline”), Trinity Steel Fabricators, Inc. (“Trinity”), the Company’s subsidiary, SSC, Tecon Services, Inc. (“Tecon”) and Alfred Miller Contracting Company (“AMC”), asserting contract and warranty claims as to SSC, arising out of allegations that fireproofing applied by others to steel that SSC and Trinity supplied to a modernization project at the BP Refinery was defectively fireproofed. AMC and Tecon filed a Petition for Damages and Declaratory Judgment in the State Court of Louisiana (14th Judicial District Court, Parish of Calcasieu) (the “Louisiana suit”), against Carboline, BP Corporation North America Inc., BP Products North America, Inc. (collectively referred to as “BP entities”), Trinity, the Company’s subsidiaries, SSC and Schuff Steel – Gulf Coast, Inc. (“Gulf Coast”) and others parties. AMC and Tecon alleged, among other claims, that the Carboline Pyrocrete® 241 on the BP Refinery project was defective and that Carboline breached product warranties. In April 2014, the lawsuits were resolved in mediation. A confidential settlement agreement was executed on June 16, 2014. The Company’s settlement contribution was funded by its insurance carriers.

On February 14, 2014, the Company’s subsidiary, SSC, filed suit against dck/FWF, LLC (“dck”) in the Circuit Court in Sarasota County, Florida for additional work and costs SSC incurred on the University Town Center Project (“UTC Project”) in Sarasota, Florida. From the beginning of the UTC Project, the owner and general contractor, dck, made numerous design changes that resulted in substantial extra work for SSC. dck directed SSC to proceed and price this additional work. In May 2014, the lawsuit was resolved. Under the terms of a confidential settlement agreement, Schuff received certain additional compensation for extra work performed and costs incurred on the UTC Project.

The Company is self-insured for its employees’ workers’ compensation claims. Under provisions of the policies, the Company has purchased stop/loss insurance to mitigate its risks against catastrophic injury-related events.

The stop/loss amount for workers’ compensation is $350,000 per employee per accident. At December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, the Company had an accrual of approximately $2,409,000 and $2,403,000, respectively, for workers’ compensation claims incurred but not paid or reported and for future claims from injuries existing at year-end (see Note 6).

The Company is self-insured for its employees’ medical and dental insurance claims. Under provisions of the policies, the Company has purchased stop/loss insurance to mitigate its risks against catastrophic medical events. The stop/loss amount for medical insurance claims is $300,000 per claimant and 110% of expected claims for each plan year. At December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, the Company had an accrual of approximately $2,025,000 and $1,997,000, respectively, for medical and dental insurance claims incurred but not paid or reported and for our terminal liability with its insurance service provider.

The Company had approximately $48,893,000 of performance bonds issued on its behalf as of December 29, 2013. The performance bonds were required by various general contractors to guarantee the Company’s performance on projects.

 

14. Significant Customers

During 2013, the Company did not have revenues from any one customer that were in excess of 10% of 2013 revenues. During 2012, the Company had revenues from a customer that totaled approximately 10% of total revenues. In addition, receivables from this customer totaled approximately 8% of total receivables. During 2011, the Company had revenues from a different customer that totaled approximately 11% of total revenues.

During the years ended December 29, 2013, December 30, 2012 and January 1, 2012, the Company’s revenues included approximately $31,260,000, $29,821,000 and $13,317,000, respectively, relating to international customers for which there was approximately $5,705,000 and $6,511,000 in accounts receivables at December 29, 2013 and December 30, 2012, respectively.

 

15. Backlog

The Company’s backlog was $426,909,000 ($370,113,000 under contracts or purchase orders and $56,796,000 under letters of intent) and $186,246,000 ($167,307,000 under contracts or purchase orders and $18,939,000 under letters of intent) at December 29, 2013 and at December 30, 2012, respectively. The Company’s backlog increases as contract commitments, letters of intent, notices to proceed and purchase orders are obtained, decreases as revenues are recognized and increases or decreases to reflect modifications in the work to be performed under the contracts, notices to proceed, letters of intent or purchase orders. The Company’s backlog can be significantly affected by the receipt, or loss, of individual contracts. Approximately $241,192,000, representing 56.5% of the Company’s backlog at December 29, 2013, was attributable to five contracts, letters of intent, notices to proceed or purchase orders. If one or more large contracts are terminated or their scope reduced, the Company’s backlog could decrease substantially.

 

16. Discontinued Operations

On April 26, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Canam Steel Corporation (“Canam”) to sell Canam substantially all of the assets of the Company’s subsidiary, Quincy Joist Company. Under the agreement, the assets included the joist plant in Buckeye, Arizona (“Arizona”), including all equipment and inventory and the joist plant (excluding the land) in Quincy, Florida (“Florida”), including all equipment and inventory. The sale of the Arizona assets was completed on June 1, 2013 and the sale of the Florida assets was completed on July 10, 2013. The majority of the proceeds were used to paydown the GB Loan (see Note 7).

Board of Directors and Stockholders

Schuff International, Inc.

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Schuff International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 30, 2014, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013, and the related notes to the interim financial statements.

Management’s responsibility

The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this responsibility includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control sufficient to provide a reasonable basis for the preparation and fair presentation of interim financial information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Auditor’s responsibility

Our responsibility is to conduct our reviews in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to reviews of interim financial information. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements referred to above for them to be in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Report on condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2013

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 29, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and we expressed an unmodified audit opinion on those audited consolidated financial statements in our report dated July 24, 2014. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 29, 2013, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited consolidated financial statements from which it has been derived.

SCHUFF INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Three Months Ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013

 

1. Interim Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The balance sheet at December 29, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 28, 2014. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 29, 2013.

Fiscal Year

The Company uses a 4-4-5 week quarterly cycle ending on the Sunday closest to December 31. Fiscal 2014 will cover the period from December 30, 2013 to December 28, 2014 (hereinafter 2014). Fiscal 2013 covered the period from December 31, 2012 to December 29, 2013 (hereinafter 2013).

Revenue and Cost Recognition

The Company performs its services primarily under fixed-price contracts and recognizes revenues and costs from construction projects using the percentage of completion method. Under this method, revenue is recognized based upon either the ratio of the costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs to complete the project or the ratio of tons fabricated to date to total estimated tons. Revenue recognition begins when work has commenced. Costs include all direct material and labor costs related to contract performance, subcontractor costs, indirect labor, and fabrication plant overhead costs, which are charged to contract costs as incurred. Revenues relating to changes in the scope of a contract are recognized when the work has commenced, the Company has made an estimate of the amount that is probable of being paid for the change and there is a high degree of probability that the charges will be approved by the customer or general contractor. While the Company has been successful in having the majority of its change orders approved in prior years, there is no guarantee that the majority of unapproved change orders at March 30, 2014 will be approved. Revisions in estimates during the course of contract work are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts requiring the revision become known. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period a loss on a contract becomes determinable.

Construction contracts with customers generally provide that billings are to be made monthly in amounts which are commensurate with the extent of performance under the contracts. Contract receivables arise principally from the balance of amounts due on progress billings on jobs under construction. Retentions on contract receivables are amounts due on progress billings, which are withheld until the completed project has been accepted by the customer.

Three Months Ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013

 

Costs and recognized earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts primarily represent revenue earned under the percentage of completion method which has not been billed. Billings in excess of related costs and recognized earnings on uncompleted contracts represent amounts billed on contracts in excess of the revenue allowed to be recognized under the percentage of completion method on those contracts.

Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized, net of any valuation allowance, for deductible temporary differences and net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. The Company regularly evaluates the realizeability of its deferred tax assets by assessing its forecasts of future taxable income and reviewing available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize the deferred tax assets. Based on this evaluation, it was determined that realization of the deferred tax assets is more likely than not.

 

2. Discontinued Operations

On April 26, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Canam Steel Corporation (“Canam”) to sell Canam substantially all of the assets of the Company’s subsidiary, Quincy Joist Company. Under the agreement, the assets included the joist plant in Buckeye, Arizona (“Arizona”), including all equipment and inventory and the joist plant (excluding the land) in Quincy, Florida (“Florida”), including all equipment and inventory. The sale of the Arizona assets was completed on June 1, 2013 and the sale of the Florida assets was completed on July 10, 2013.

 

3. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. Fair value of the restricted stock units awarded is based on the current traded price of the Company’s stock. Restricted stock grants (“Grants”) vest over three or five years. The Grants provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control (as defined in the agreements).

There was no compensation cost charged against income for the Grants for the three months ending March 30, 2014. The compensation cost that has been charged against income for the Grants was $120,000 for the three months ending March 31, 2013.

At March 30, 2014, the Company had $20,792,000 of borrowings and $3,902,000 of outstanding letters of credit issued under its Credit Facility.

The Credit Facility is secured by a first priority, perfected security interest in all of the Company’s assets, excluding the real estate, and its present and future subsidiaries and a second priority, perfected security interest in all of the Company’s real estate. The security agreements pursuant to which the Company’s assets are pledged prohibit any further pledge of such assets without the written consent of the bank. The Credit Facility has a floating interest rate of LIBOR plus 4.00% (4.25% at March 30, 2014) and requires monthly interest payments. The Credit Facility contains various restrictive covenants. At March 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The International LOC is secured by a first priority, perfected security interest in Schuff Hopsa Engineering’s (“SHE”) property and plant. The interest rate is 5.25% plus 1% of the special interest compensation fund (“FECI”). The International LOC contains covenants that, among other things, limit SHE’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, change its business, merge, consolidate or dissolve and sell, lease, exchange or otherwise dispose of its assets, without prior written notice.

11. Backlog

The Company’s backlog was $451,140,000 ($377,073,000 under contracts or purchase orders and $74,067,000 under letters of intent) at March 30, 2014. The Company’s backlog can be significantly affected by the receipt, or loss, of individual contracts. Approximately $227,864,000, representing 50.5% of the Company’s backlog at March 30, 2014, was attributable to five contracts, letters of intent, notices to proceed or purchase orders. If one or more large contracts are terminated or their scope reduced, the Company’s backlog could decrease substantially.

 

12. Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through July 24, 2014, which is the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued.

On May 29, 2014, HC2 Holdings, Inc. completed its purchase of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from SAS Venture LLC and Scott A. Schuff at a purchase price of $31.50 per share. The purchase of the shares represents approximately 60% of the Company’s outstanding stock as of the date of purchase. In connection with the ownership change, the Company paid a total of $1,200,000 to certain executives related to the change of control clause in their employment agreements.

During June and July 2014, the Company purchased 327,664 shares of the Company’s common stock from former Company executives at a total purchase price of approximately $8,691,000.

EX-99.3

Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On May 12, 2014, HC2 Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “HC2”), entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with SAS Venture LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”), and, for limited purposes only, Scott A. Schuff, pursuant to which the Company agreed to purchase from the Seller an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Shares”), of Schuff International, Inc., a Delaware corporation and leading provider of structural steel fabrication and erection services in the United States (“Schuff”), representing approximately a 60% ownership interest in Schuff (“Schuff Acquisition”). On May 29, 2014, the Company completed the Schuff Acquisition. The purchase price for the Shares was $31.50 per Share, or a total aggregate consideration of $78.75 million, which was paid in cash.

Subsequent to this initial investment, the Company negotiated an agreement to purchase an additional 198,411 shares, which increased the Company’s ownership interest to approximately 65%. In June 2014, Schuff repurchased a portion of its outstanding common stock which had the effect of increasing the Company’s ownership interest to 70%.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the completed Schuff Acquisition and related transactions, including the issuance of preferred and common stock and the entry into a credit facility by the Company to finance the Schuff Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 gives effect to the Schuff Acquisition as if it had occurred on March 31, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is derived from the unaudited historical financial statements of HC2 and Schuff as of March 31, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 gives effect to the Schuff Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations is derived from the audited historical financial statements of HC2 and Schuff as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the unaudited historical financial statements of HC2 and Schuff as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The Schuff Acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price, calculated as described in Note 2 to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with the Schuff Acquisition, based on their estimated fair values as of the effective date of the Schuff Acquisition. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price was based upon management’s preliminary valuation of the fair value of tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and such estimates and assumptions are subject to change.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments regarding liabilities incurred or cost savings achieved resulting from the integration of the companies, as management is in the process of assessing what, if any, future actions are necessary. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not intended to represent or be indicative of the consolidated results of operations or financial condition of HC2 that would have been reported had the acquisition been completed as of the dates presented, and should not be construed as representative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial condition of the combined entity.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes of HC2 and the sections entitled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in HC2’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, filed on March 31, 2014, and HC2’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, filed on May 9, 2014, and the audited historical financial statements and related notes of Schuff as of December 29, 2013 and for the year then ended and the unaudited historical financial statements and related notes of Schuff as of March 30, 2014 and the three month periods ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013, which are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, respectively, to this Form 8-K/A.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by HC2 Holdings, Inc. (“HC2” or the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for the purposes of inclusion in HC2’s amended Form 8-K prepared and filed in connection with the Schuff Acquisition.

Certain information and certain disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures provided herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the completed Schuff Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2014 gives effect to the Schuff Acquisition as if it had occurred on March 31, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet is derived from the unaudited historical financial statements of HC2 and Schuff as of March 31, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 gives effect to the Schuff Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2013. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations is derived from the audited historical financial statements of HC2 and Schuff as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the unaudited historical financial statements of HC2 and Schuff as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are provided for informational purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the Company’s consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations which would actually have been obtained had such transactions been completed as of the date or for the periods presented, or of the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations that may be obtained in the future.

Note 2. Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

On May 29, 2014, HC2 completed the Schuff Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the completed Schuff Acquisition, which was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Schuff and its family of steel companies is the largest steel fabrication and erection company in the United States. The 37-year-old company executes projects throughout the United States as well as internationally. Schuff offers integrated steel construction services from a single source including design-build, design-assist, engineering, BIM participation, 3D steel modeling/detailing, fabrication, advanced field erection, project management, and single-source steel management systems. The aggregate amount of the consideration paid by HC2 upon the completion of the Schuff Acquisition was $78.75 million in cash, calculated as the purchase of 2,500,000 shares of Schuff at $31.50 per share.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price is allocated to Schuff’s net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values as of May 29, 2014, the effective date of the Schuff Acquisition.


Based on management’s preliminary valuation of the fair value of tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to change, and other factors as described in the introduction to these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements, the preliminary estimated purchase price is allocated as follows (in thousands):

 

Cash and cash equivalents

   $ (627

Investments

     1,714   

Accounts receivable

     130,622   

Costs and recognized earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts

     27,126   

Prepaid expenses and other current assets

     3,079   

Inventories

     14,487

     85,662

     10,468

     15,460

     4,375

     7,815   

Other liabilities

     604   

Noncontrolling interest

     4,365   
  

 

 

 

Total liabilities assumed

     160,503   
  

 

 

 

Enterprise value

     132,397   

Less: fair value of noncontrolling interest

     53,647   
  

 

 

 

Purchase price attributable to controlling interest

   $ 78,750   
  

 

 

 

Prior to the end of the measurement period for finalizing the purchase price allocation, if information becomes available which would indicate material adjustments are required to the purchase price allocation, such adjustments will be included in the purchase price allocation retrospectively.

Of the total estimated purchase price, $4.5 million has been allocated to definite-lived intangible assets acquired and consist of the value assigned to Schuff’s trade name. The definite-lived intangible assets will be amortized over their respective useful lives. The trade name definite-lived intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the assigned useful lives of fifteen years. The amortization expense associated with these definite-lived intangible assets is not deductible for tax purposes.

The definite-lived intangible assets acquired will result in approximately the following annual amortization expense (in thousands):

 

2014

     174   

2015

     298   

2016

     298   

2017

     299   

2018

     299   

Thereafter

     3,110   
  

 

 

 
   $ 4,478   
  

 

 

 

Of the total estimated purchase price, approximately $24.5 million has been allocated to goodwill and is not deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the net tangible liabilities assumed and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill will not be amortized but instead will be tested for impairment at least annually (more frequently if indicators of impairment arise). In the event that management determines that the goodwill has become impaired, the Company will incur an accounting charge for the amount of the impairment during the fiscal quarter in which the determination is made.


Note 3. Pro Forma Adjustments

Pro forma adjustments are made to reflect the purchase price of Schuff, the issuance of preferred and common stock, the net borrowings under a credit agreement, adjustments of Schuff’s net assets and liabilities to estimates of the fair values of those assets and liabilities, the recording of intangible assets, the noncontrolling interest, the adjustment to depreciation expense resulting from the increase in net book value of property and equipment, the amortization expense related to the intangible assets, and the adjustment to net income (loss) for the noncontrolling interest.

The specific pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are as follows:

 

(1) To reflect the net borrowings received from HC2’s credit agreement with Jefferies LLC. The amount of the term loan was $80.0 million, which includes a discount of $5.6 million and deferred financing costs of $0.4 million.
(2) To reflect additional third party expenses incurred in connection with the credit agreement.
(3) To reflect the proceeds received from the issuance of 30,000 shares of HC2’s preferred stock at $1,000 per share, net of fees of $0.9 million.
(4) To reflect the proceeds received from the issuance of 1,500,000 shares of HC2’s common stock to certain preferred holders at $4.00 per share.
(5) To reflect the acquisition of approximately 60% of the outstanding common stock of Schuff with the purchase of 2,500,000 million shares at $31.50.
(6) To eliminate Schuff’s common stock, additional paid in capital, treasury stock and retained earnings, as well as debt issue costs, in connection with the Schuff Acquisition.
(7) To record the noncontrolling interest portion of 40% of Schuff’s net assets.
(8) To reflect the fair value of the trade name of $4.5 million acquired with the purchase of Schuff.
(9) To record the adjustment of Schuff’s property and equipment’s net book value to fair value in connection with the purchase of Schuff.
(10) To reflect deferred tax liabilities associated with the book/tax differences on acquired intangible assets and step up in net book value of the property and equipment.
(11) To reflect the amortization of intangible assets arising from the Schuff Acquisition.
(12) To reflect the adjustment to depreciation expense resulting from adjustment of net book value to fair value of Schuff’s property and equipment.
(13) To reflect the noncontrolling interest income adjustment for the 40% of net income (loss) not attributable to HC2’s ownership of Schuff.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments for liabilities related to business integration activities for the Schuff Acquisition as management is in the process of assessing what, if any, future actions are necessary. However, liabilities ultimately may be recorded for costs associated with business integration activities for the Schuff Acquisition and such liabilities will be expensed as incurred in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company has not identified any material pre-Schuff Acquisition contingencies where the related asset, liability or impairment is probable and the amount of the asset, liability or impairment can be reasonably estimated.

Note 4. Pro Forma Net Loss Per Common Share

The pro forma basic and diluted net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares of HC2’s common stock outstanding during the period. The diluted weighted average number of common shares does not include outstanding stock options, restricted stock units or warrants as their inclusion would be antidilutive.
