BLUELINX HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 4, 2015
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of BlueLinx Holdings Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (the “Company”). All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) 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. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K together with Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”) for the year ended January 3, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
New Accounting Standards
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-11, Inventory. The ASU requires entities that measure inventory using methods including the average cost method to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. ASU 2015-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of these provisions.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest. The ASU requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts or premiums. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of these provisions will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-04, Compensation - Retirement Benefits. For entities with a fiscal year-end that does not coincide with a month-end, the ASU permits the entity to measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations using the month-end that is closest to the entity’s fiscal year-end and apply that practical expedient consistently from year to year. ASU 2015-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. We plan to continue measuring the defined benefit plan assets and obligations at our fiscal year-end date.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. The ASU requires that entities with a cloud computing arrangement that includes a software license, account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the entity should account for the arrangement as a service contract. ASU 2015-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We do not expect that the adoption of these provisions will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior years’ consolidated financial statements and notes have been revised to conform to the current year presentation. During fiscal 2015, we have separately detailed the “Pension Benefit Obligation”, which historically had been presented as “Other non-current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. To conform the historical presentation to the current presentation, we have separately detailed the “Pension Benefit Obligation” in prior periods from “Other non-current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 
Additionally, during fiscal 2015, we reclassified certain amounts, which historically had been presented as “Debt financing costs” to “Borrowings from the revolving credit facilities” in cash flows from financing activities. To conform the historical presentation to the current presentation, we reclassified similar items in prior periods from “Debt financing costs” to “Borrowings from the revolving credit facilities” in cash flows from financing activities.
Also, during fiscal 2015, we reclassified certain amounts, which historically had been presented as “Selling, general, and administrative” to “Gains from sales of property” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). To conform the historical presentation to the current presentation, we reclassified similar items in prior periods from “Selling, general, and administrative” to “Gains from sales of property” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

As of fiscal year-end 2014, the Company determined that almost all of the participants in the pension plan were inactive. Accordingly, beginning in fiscal 2015, the Company began amortizing actuarial gains and losses over the estimated average remaining life expectancy of the inactive participants, rather than the estimated average remaining service period of the active participants.
During the first six months of fiscal 2015, we renegotiated our collective bargaining agreements with certain unionized locations. These collective bargaining agreements cover a number of specific items such as wages, medical coverage, and certain other benefit programs, including the pension plan. As a result of these renegotiations, a significant percentage of the participants in the plan are no longer accruing future years of service, which triggered a curtailment. The pension benefit obligation decreased $7.2 million as a result of changes in actuarial assumptions related to the curtailment, as recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets; along with an increase to accumulated other comprehensive income of $6.1 million (net of $1.1 million tax expense) recorded in other comprehensive income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

4. Fair Value Measurements
Carrying amounts for our financial instruments are not significantly different from their fair values, with the exception of our mortgage. To determine the fair value of our mortgage, we use a discounted cash flow model. We believe the mortgage fair value valuation to be Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as the valuation model has inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the liability. As of July 4, 2015, the discounted carrying amount and fair value of our mortgage was $169.2 million and $172.2 million, respectively. The difference between the book value and the fair value is derived from the difference between the period-end market interest rate and the stated rate of our fixed-rate mortgage. The fair value of our debt is not indicative of the amounts at which we could settle our debt.
5. Earnings per Share
We calculate basic earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, excluding unvested restricted shares. We calculate diluted earnings per share by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of outstanding share-based awards, including stock options and restricted stock awards. Antidilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation are not material. Due to year-to-date net losses, basic and diluted earnings per share are equivalent for the six months ended July 4, 2015 and July 5, 2014.
The reconciliation of basic and diluted income per common share for the three months ended July 4, 2015 and July 5, 2014 was as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

(1) 
For the six months ended July 4, 2015, there was $0.4 million of actuarial loss recognized in the statements of operations as a component of net periodic pension cost. There was $6.1 million (net of tax expense of $1.1 million) of unrecognized actuarial gain based on the pension curtailment (see Note 3). We allocated income tax expense to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent the income was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and we have a loss in continuing operations.
(2)
For the six months ended July 5, 2014, there was $0.2 million (net of tax expense of $0.2 million) of actuarial loss recognized in the statements of operations as a component of net periodic pension cost. We allocated income tax expense to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent the income was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and we have a loss in continuing operations.
7. Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
The effective tax rate is calculated by dividing our income tax expense (benefit) by income (loss) before provision for (benefit from) income taxes. Our effective income tax rates for the fiscal second quarters ended July 4, 2015 and July 5, 2014 were (1,800.7)% and (11.2)%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the six months ended July 4, 2015 and July 5, 2014 were 31.6% and (0.1)%, respectively.
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 was substantially due to an allocation of income tax expense to other comprehensive income (loss) for an actuarial gain associated with the curtailment of our pension plan which resulted in a benefit to continuing operations. Due to the income recognized in other comprehensive income for the pension curtailment during the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the intraperiod tax allocation rules require that we allocate income tax expense to other comprehensive income and recognize an income tax benefit in continuing operations even though our loss from continuing operations does not provide a current period incremental tax benefit due to our full valuation allowance at the beginning and end of the period.
The effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2015 was due to the actuarial gain associated with the aforementioned curtailment of our pension plan for the fiscal second quarter 2015, and a full valuation allowance recorded against our tax benefit. The tax benefit to continuing operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2015 and the first six months of fiscal 2015 was partially offset by tax expense related to gross receipts, Canadian, and certain state taxes recorded on a separate company basis.
The effective tax rates for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014 were largely due to a full valuation allowance recorded against our tax benefit related to our fiscal 2014 loss. Also, during the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2014, we allocated income tax expense to other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent income was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, resulting in a benefit to continuing operations.

8. Liquidity
A portion of our debt is classified as “Current maturities of long-term debt” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 4, 2015, since it is due within the next twelve months. These amounts consist of the May 1, 2016, $35.0 million payment due under the U.S. revolving credit facility, which is inclusive of the $20.0 million Tranche A Loan, which is otherwise due on June 30, 2016; and the balance of our mortgage of approximately $169.2 million as of July 4, 2015, of which $166.7 million is due in full on July 1, 2016. We are currently exploring various refinancing and other means to address these upcoming payments.

Executive Level Overview
Background
We are a leading distributor of building products in North America. The Company is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, and we operate our distribution business through a current network of 48 distribution centers. We operate in all of the major metropolitan areas in the United States (“U.S.”). We distribute products in two principal categories: structural products and specialty products. Structural products include plywood, oriented strand board (“OSB”), rebar and remesh, lumber and other wood products primarily used for structural support, walls, and flooring in construction projects. Structural products represented approximately 40% of our second quarter of fiscal 2015 net sales. Specialty products include roofing, insulation,

10


moulding, engineered wood, vinyl products (used primarily in siding), outdoor living, and metal products (excluding rebar and remesh). Specialty products accounted for approximately 60% of our second quarter of fiscal 2015 net sales. 
Industry Conditions
Many of the factors that cause our operations to fluctuate are seasonal or cyclical in nature.
Key Business Metrics
Net Sales
Net sales result primarily from the distribution of products to dealers, industrial manufacturers, manufactured housing producers, and home improvement retailers. All revenues recognized are net of trade allowances, cash discounts, and sales returns. In addition, we provide inventory to certain customers through pre-arranged agreements on a consignment basis. When consigned inventory is sold by the customer, we recognize revenue on a gross basis. Net sales may not be comparable year-over-year due to closed facilities, unusual weather patterns, and/or market-driven fluctuations in the prices of the inventories we sell.
Gross Profit
Gross profit primarily represents revenues less the product cost from our suppliers (net of earned rebates and discounts), including the cost of inbound freight. The cost of outbound freight, purchasing, receiving, and warehousing are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses within operating expenses. Our gross profit may not be comparable to that of other companies, as other companies may include some or all of the costs related to their distribution network in cost of sales. Market price fluctuations, particularly on structural products vulnerable to commodity price variability, may impact our gross profit.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is an amount equal to net income (loss) plus interest expense and all interest expense related items (e.g., write-off of debt issuance costs, charges associated with mortgage refinancing), income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and further adjusted to exclude non-cash items and certain other adjustments to Consolidated Net Income (Loss). We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is a primary measure used by management to evaluate operating performance and helps to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the financial performance of our business. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP, and is not intended to present a superior measure of the financial condition from those determined under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, as used herein, is not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is helpful in highlighting operating trends. We further believe that Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in their evaluation of companies, many of which present an Adjusted EBITDA measure when reporting their results. We compensate for the limitations of using non-GAAP financial measures by using them to supplement GAAP results to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than using GAAP results alone.
The Company's Adjusted EBITDA for the quarters ended July 4, 2015 and July 5, 2014, and the first six months of fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014 are shown in the following table:

Second Quarter of Fiscal 2015 Compared to Second Quarter of Fiscal 2014
Net sales.  For the second quarter of fiscal 2015, net sales decreased 3.0%, or $16.0 million. The decrease in sales was driven by a decrease in structural product prices. Structural sales volume increased slightly by 0.9%, while structural product prices declined 6.5%, primarily due to weakness in the lumber commodity markets. The pricing impact of these lower commodity prices was $13.0 million. Specialty sales decreased by $4.0 million or 1.3%, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Specialty sales were impacted by a decrease in unit volume of 1.3%.
Gross profit.  For the second quarter of fiscal 2015, gross profit decreased by 3.3%, or $2.0 million. The decrease was driven by lower unit volumes.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses.  Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $4.3 million compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2014. This decrease was impacted by a $2.6 million decrease in costs related to severance, restructuring, and litigation; and a $1.0 million decrease in fuel costs related to our fuel purchase commitment and lower market fuel prices.
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes.  Our effective tax rate was calculated by dividing our income tax benefit of $2.7 million by income before benefit from income taxes of $0.2 million, which resulted in an effective tax rate of (1,800.7)% for the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The unusual effective tax rate was substantially due to an allocation of income tax expense to other comprehensive income (loss) for an actuarial gain associated with the curtailment of our pension plan which resulted in a significant benefit to continuing operations. This tax benefit to continuing operations was partially offset by tax expense related to gross receipts, Canadian, and certain state taxes recorded on a separate company basis.  
The effective tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 2014 of (11.2)% was largely due to a full valuation allowance recorded against our tax benefit related to our fiscal 2014 loss. The effect of the valuation allowance was offset by state income taxes, gross receipts taxes, and foreign income taxes recorded on a separate company basis partially offset by various refundable tax credits. Also, during the second quarter of fiscal 2014, we allocated income tax expense to other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent income was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, resulting in a benefit to continuing operations.
First Six Months of Fiscal 2015 Compared to First Six Months of Fiscal 2014
Net sales.  For the six months of fiscal 2015, net sales decreased by 0.4%, or $4.8 million. The decrease in sales was driven by a decrease in structural product prices. Structural sales for the first six months of fiscal 2015 were affected by a 4.3% decline in structural product prices due to the weakness in lumber commodity markets, offset by an increase in unit volume of 2.0%. The pricing impact of these lower commodity prices in the first six months of fiscal 2015 was a decrease of $16.0 million. Specialty sales increased by $6.0 million or 1.0%, compared to the first six months of fiscal 2014. Specialty sales benefited by both an increase in unit volume of 0.5% and an increase in pricing and other changes of 0.5%.
Gross profit.  For the first six months of fiscal 2015, gross profit decreased by 4.0%, or $4.5 million. The decrease was driven by lower unit volumes.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses.  Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $6.4 million compared to the first six months of fiscal 2014. This decrease was largely driven by a $2.5 million decrease in fuel costs resulting from our fuel purchase commitment and lower market fuel prices, in addition to a $2.7 million decrease in costs related to severance, restructuring, and litigation, for the year to date period.
Provision for (benefit from) income taxes.  Our effective tax rate was 31.6% and (0.1)% for the first six months of fiscal 2015 and the first six months of fiscal 2014, respectively. The effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2015 was largely due to the allocation of income tax expense to other comprehensive income (loss) for the actuarial gain associated with the curtailment of our pension plan which resulted in a benefit to continuing operations, as discussed above, as well as a full valuation allowance recorded against our tax benefit. The effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 2014 largely was due to a full valuation allowance recorded against our tax benefit related to our fiscal 2014 loss. Also, during the first six months of fiscal 2014, we allocated income tax expense to other comprehensive income (loss) to the extent income was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, resulting in a benefit to continuing operations.
Seasonality
We are exposed to fluctuations in quarterly sales volumes and expenses due to seasonal factors common in the building products distribution industry. The first and fourth quarters are typically our slower quarters, due to the impact of poor weather on the construction market. Our second and third quarters are typically our stronger quarters, reflecting a substantial increase in construction due to more favorable weather conditions. Our accounts receivable and payable generally peak in the third quarter, while inventory generally peaks in the second quarter in anticipation of the summer building season.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be cash flows from sales in the normal course of our operations, and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, and we expect that these sources will fund our ongoing cash requirements for the foreseeable future. We believe that the amounts currently available from our revolving credit facilities and other sources will be sufficient to fund our routine operations for at least the next 12 months, excluding the May 1, 2016, $35.0 million payment due under the U.S. revolving credit facility, which is inclusive of the $20.0 million Tranche A Loan, and the balance of our mortgage due in full on July 1, 2016. These items are classified as “Current maturities of long-term debt” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 4, 2015. We are currently exploring various refinancing and other means to address these upcoming payments.
Revolving Credit Facilities
On August 4, 2006, we entered into the U.S. revolving credit facility which is held by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and other lenders (“U.S. revolving credit facility”), as later amended. On February 18, 2015, we refinanced our U.S. revolving credit facility, including the $20.0 million Tranche A Loan, with the Tenth Amendment to the U.S. revolving credit facility (the “Tenth Amendment”).
The Tenth Amendment extends the maturity date of the U.S. revolving credit facility to April 15, 2017; requires the refinancing, extension or replacement of our current mortgage on or before May 1, 2016, such that the maturity date of the new mortgage facility is no earlier than July 15, 2017; and requires the repayment of not less than $35.0 million by May 1, 2016, which must be paid from sources other than normal operations. This amount is classified in “Current maturities of long-term debt” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 4, 2015. “Sources other than normal operations” may include proceeds received from a mortgage refinancing, a rights offering, or other non-operating activities.
Additionally, the Tenth Amendment extends the final maturity date of the Tranche A Loan to June 30, 2016, with the principal amount decreasing by $2.0 million each month beginning on April 1, 2016, and payment of the remaining balance within the $35.0 million as referenced above. However, such decreases will not occur if, after giving effect to the applicable reduction, excess availability will be less than $50.0 million. The Tenth Amendment also amends the interest rate for the Tranche A Loan to begin increasing by 25 basis points each 90 days, beginning on April 1, 2015, with a maximum increase of 100 basis points; and increases our fixed charge coverage ratio requirement to 1.2 to 1.0 in certain situations while the Tranche A Loan is outstanding.
The U.S. revolving credit facility has a final maturity date of April 15, 2017, and maximum available credit of $467.5 million, which includes the $20.0 million Tranche A Loan. The $20 million Tranche A Loan is classified in “Current maturities of long-term debt” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 4, 2015. The U.S. revolving credit facility also includes an additional $75.0 million uncommitted accordion credit facility, which permits us to increase the maximum available credit up to $542.5 million.
Our subsidiary BlueLinx Building Products Canada Ltd. has a revolving credit agreement with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (the “Canadian revolving credit facility”) due upon the earlier of August 12, 2016 or the maturity date of the U.S. revolving credit facility. The Canadian revolving credit facility has a maximum available credit of $10.0 million. The Canadian revolving credit facility also provides for an additional $5.0 million uncommitted accordion credit facility, which permits us to increase the maximum available credit up to $15.0 million.
As of July 4, 2015, we had outstanding borrowings of $300.0 million and excess availability of $65.0 million under the terms of these revolving credit facilities. We are in compliance with all covenants under these revolving credit facilities.
Mortgage
As of July 4, 2015, the balance on our mortgage loan was $169.2 million. This amount is classified in “Current maturities of long-term debt” in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of July 4, 2015. The mortgage is secured by our owned distribution facilities. The mortgage carries a prepayment penalty of approximately $1.0 million per month through December 31, 2015. Principal payments of approximately $0.2 million are due monthly, with the remaining balance of the mortgage of approximately $166.7 million due on July 1, 2016. Under the terms of our mortgage, as amended, we are required to transfer certain funds to be held as cash collateral. This cash collateral may be used to prepay the mortgage. As of July 4, 2015, there was approximately $4.2 million in cash collateral, recorded in “Other current assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We are currently exploring various means to address the impending maturity of the mortgage.

Sources and Uses of Cash
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2015 was $46.2 million, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $68.3 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014. Net cash used in operations in the first six months of fiscal 2015 was primarily driven by decreases compared to the corresponding prior period of $10.2 million in inventories, and $5.6 million in prepaid expenses; and increases in accounts payable of $8.1 million, and $5.7 million in accrued compensation and other liabilities.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities for the first six months of fiscal 2015 was $0.7 million compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $6.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014. The decrease was due to a lack of real estate sales in fiscal 2015 as compared to fiscal 2014. The 2014 net cash provided by investing activities included $6.9 million of proceeds related to the sale of the Portland, Oregon, distribution center in the first six months of fiscal 2014.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities of $45.3 million for the first six months of fiscal 2015 reflected net borrowings on the revolving lines of credit of $69.3 million, offset by a decrease in bank overdrafts of $15.4 million. The net cash provided by financing activities of $65.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014 primarily was driven by net borrowings on the revolving lines of credit of $73.2 million, partially offset by principal payments on the mortgage of $8.3 million. We anticipate borrowings on our revolving lines of credit to fluctuate due to seasonal factors, with higher borrowings expected during the typically strong second and third quarters, and lower borrowings anticipated during the typically slower fourth and first quarters.
Working Capital
Working capital is an important measurement used in determining the efficiencies of our operations and our ability to readily convert assets into cash. The material components of working capital for us include accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and bank overdrafts. The current portion of our long-term debt has been excluded due to the significant variance during the period resulting from amounts anticipated to be refinanced. Working capital management helps to ensure that we can maximize our return on assets and continue to invest in the operations for future growth.
Our working capital requirements reflect the seasonal nature of our business. Working capital components at July 4, 2015, compared to January 3, 2015, increased on a net basis due to increases in purchase volume associated with projected increased demand in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, and seasonal payment patterns. We anticipate the accounts receivable and inventory components of our working capital calculation will continue to fluctuate on a seasonal basis. Our inventories and receivables increased by $33.8 million and $52.8 million, respectively, as we move into our peak selling season.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations from those disclosed above or in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2015.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires our management to make judgments and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from the information provided in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2015.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2015.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our management performed an evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q, under the supervision of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, there were no material changes to our legal proceedings as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2015. Additionally, we are, and from time to time may be, a party to routine legal proceedings incidental to the operation of our business. The outcome of any pending or threatened proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, operating results, or cash flows, based on our current understanding of the relevant facts. Legal expenses incurred related to these contingencies are generally expensed as incurred.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2015, as filed with the SEC, except as discussed below:
Our common stock may be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange.
On July 29, 2015, the Company was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the average closing price of the Company’s common stock had fallen below $1.00 per share over a period of 30 consecutive trading days, which is the minimum average share price for continued listing on the NYSE.
Although we intend to take actions designed to bring our stock price within the required compliance levels within the NYSE's specified time frame, we cannot assure that our plans will be successful within that time frame, or at all. Delisting would have an adverse effect on the liquidity of our common stock and, as a result, the market price for our common stock might decline. Delisting could also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital. The Company intends to actively monitor the closing share price for its common stock and will consider available options, including equity-based actions, such as a reverse stock split, to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance.
ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
On August 11, 2015, Ronald E. Kolka notified the Company of his decision to resign from the Board of Directors of the Company, effective immediately. Mr. Kolka’s decision to resign was not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies, or practices.
