Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations
Ballantyne Strong, Inc. (“Ballantyne” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, is a holding company with diverse business activities focused on serving the cinema, retail, financial, and government markets. The Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries Strong Westrex, Inc. (“SWI”), Strong Technical Services, Inc., Strong/MDI Screen Systems, Inc., Strong Westrex (Beijing) Technology Inc. (“SWBTI”), Convergent Corporation and Convergent Media Systems Corporation (“Convergent”) design, integrate, and install technology solutions for a broad range of applications; develop and deliver out-of-home messaging, advertising and communications; manufacture projection screens; and provide managed services including monitoring of networked equipment to our customers.
The Company’s products are distributed to the cinema, retail, financial, and government markets throughout the world.
2. Discontinued Operations
On June 21, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan under which the Company will pursue a sale of the operations conducted by its subsidiaries SWBTI and SWI (the “China Operations”) which has historically been included in the Cinema segment. We expect to complete the sale within the next twelve months. The purpose of the plan is to focus the efforts of the Company on the business units that have opportunities for higher return on invested capital. As part of this plan, the Company incurred charges of $0.9 million in the second quarter of 2016 and zero in the third quarter of 2016, which are included in loss from discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We reflected the results of the China Operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The assets and liabilities of the China Operations have been reclassified as assets and liabilities held for sale in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for all periods presented.
On November 4, 2016, the Company sold SWBTI to GABO Filter, Inc. for total proceeds of $0.4 million. As part of this sale the Company expects to record a loss on discontinued operations of approximately $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. The final loss from discontinued operations related to this sale may differ from this estimate depending on the actual proceeds received and the actual disposition costs incurred. In addition, the Company expects to incur charges of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter related to severance for discontinued operations in conjunction with the sale of SWBTI.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all majority owned and controlled domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for annual reporting purposes or those made in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. These condensed consolidated financial 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 for the fiscal year-ended December 31, 2015.
The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. All other condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the respective interim periods. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of trends or results expected for a full year.
Use of Management Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results and changes in facts and circumstances may alter such estimates and affect results of operations and financial position in future periods.
Marketable Securities
The Company’s marketable securities are comprised of investments in the common stock of a publicly traded company. Changes in fair value, based on the market price of the investee’s stock are recognized in other income in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company uses the fair value option to account for the investment to more appropriately recognize the value of this investment in our consolidated financial statements since the Company does not exert significant influence over the investment, in which case the equity method of accounting has been applied. Marketable securities at fair value were as follows:

| Marketable securities | $ | 2,464 | $ | — | $ | 497 | $ | 1,967 | ||||||||
Equity Method Investments
In December 2015, the Company acquired 7.8% ownership in RELM Wireless Corporation (“RELM”) for $4.0 million and increased its ownership to 8.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 for an additional $0.3 million. RELM is a publicly traded company that designs, manufactures and markets two-way land mobile radios, repeaters, base stations, and related components and subsystems. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is a member of the board of directors of RELM, and controls entities that, when combined with the Company’s ownership in RELM, own greater than 20% of RELM, providing the Company with significant influence over RELM, but not controlling interest. As a result of this significant influence, the Company accounts for its investment in RELM under the equity method. The Company’s carrying value for RELM was $4.3 million as of September 30, 2016 and the Company’s equity method investment income of RELM was $0.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Based on quoted market prices, the market value of the Company’s ownership in RELM was $6.1 million at September 30, 2016.

In May 2016, the Company acquired 31.2% ownership in Itasca Capital Ltd. (“Itasca”) for $3.5 million and increased its ownership to 32.3% during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 for an additional $0.2 million. Itasca is a publicly traded Canadian company that is an investment vehicle seeking transformative strategic investments. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer is a member of the board of directors of Itasca. This board seat, combined with the Company’s 32.3% ownership of Itasca, provide the Company with significant influence over Itasca, but not controlling interest. As a result of this significant influence, the Company accounts for its investment in Itasca under the equity method. The Company’s carrying value for Itasca was $3.5 million as of September 30, 2016 and the Company’s equity method investment loss in Itasca was $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Based on quoted market prices, the market value of the Company’s ownership in Itasca was $4.4 million at September 30, 2016.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value will be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
| ● | Level 1 - inputs to the valuation techniques are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | |
| ● | Level 2 - inputs to the valuation techniques are other than quoted prices but are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly | |
| ● | Level 3 - inputs to the valuation techniques are unobservable for the assets or liabilities |
The following tables present the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value based upon the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall.

| Discount rate | 21 | % | ||||||||||
The notes receivable are recorded at estimated fair value at September 30, 2016.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s note receivable are discount rate and probability of default. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.

| Notes receivable balance, end of period | $ | 1,669 | $ | 1,669 | ||||
The carrying values of all other financial assets and liabilities including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses reported in the consolidated balance sheets equal or approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. All non-financial assets that are not recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, which includes non-financial long-lived assets, are measured at fair value in certain circumstances (for example, when there is evidence of impairment). During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company did not have any significant non-recurring measurements of non-financial assets or liabilities.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018. An entity may adopt this ASU either retrospectively or through a cumulative effect adjustment as of the start of the first period for which it applies the ASU. Early adoption is not permitted. While the Company has not yet completed its analysis of ASU 2014-09, the Company anticipates a more significant impact on its Digital Media segment, primarily due to the nature of that segment’s contracts with customers. The Company is currently evaluating adoption methods and the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements. The Company anticipates that the adoption may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires an entity utilizing the first in-first out inventory method to change their measurement principle for inventory changes from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value. The guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017. An entity must adopt this ASU prospectively and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2015-11 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, “Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“ASU 2016-01”). ASU 2016-01 requires equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted under the equity method to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment; requires an entity to present separately in other comprehensive income the portion of the total change in the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk when the entity has elected to measure the liability at fair value in accordance with the fair value option for financial instruments; requires separate presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial assets on the balance sheet or the accompanying notes to the financial statements; clarifies that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets and modifies certain fair value disclosure requirements. ASU 2016-01 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-to-use asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than twelve months, on its balance sheet. This ASU is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted, and requires a modified retrospective transition method. The Company has not yet completed its analysis of ASU 2016-02 and is evaluating the impact and timing of adopting ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements. The Company anticipates that the adoption may have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
| 10 |
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-07, “Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting,” (“ASU 2016-07”). ASU 2016-07 eliminates the requirement for the Company to retroactively apply the equity method when its increase in ownership interests (or degree of influence) in an investee triggers equity method accounting. This ASU is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted ASU 2016-07 and there was no impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize gross stock compensation expense with actual forfeitures recognized as they occur, as well as certain classifications on the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted. While the Company has not yet completed its analysis, the adoption of ASU 2016-09 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
4. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share has been computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share has been computed on the basis of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding after giving effect to potential common shares from dilutive stock options and certain non-vested shares of restricted stock. The following table provides the reconciliation between average shares used to compute both basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:
| Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||||||||||||||
| 2016 | 2015 | 2016 | 2015 | |||||||||||||
| Weighted average shares outstanding (in thousands): | ||||||||||||||||

| Diluted weighted average shares outstanding | 14,249 | 14,164 | 14,225 | 14,122 | ||||||||||||
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, grants and options to purchase 350,000 and 363,700 shares of common stock respectively were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the option’s exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares for the respective periods. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2016, options and restricted stock units of 65,937 and 85,618, respectively, were excluded as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per share. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015, options to purchase 20,625 and 124,125 shares of common stock, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as the option’s exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares for the respective periods. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015, options and restricted stock units of 56,873 and 88,877, respectively, were excluded as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive, thereby decreasing the net loss per share.
5. Warranty Reserves
In most instances, the Company’s digital products are covered by the original equipment manufacturing firm’s warranty; however, there are certain customers where the Company may grant warranties in excess of the manufacturer’s warranty for digital products which can be for up to three years. The Company accrues for these costs at the time of sale. The following table summarizes warranty activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

8. Restructuring Activities
In connection with its strategic planning process, as well as the Company’s ongoing plans to improve efficiency and effectiveness of its operations, the Company initiated plans in the second quarter of 2015 to reduce headcount and more efficiently utilize real estate assets. These plans were completed in the first quarter of 2016 and no expense was recorded in 2016.
In connection with the integration of the 2013 Convergent acquisition, as well as the Company’s ongoing plans to improve efficiency and effectiveness of its operations, the Company initiated plans in the fourth quarter of 2013 to reduce headcount and move the Company’s warehouse from Omaha, Nebraska to Georgia. The restructuring initiative was completed in the first quarter of 2015.

9. Income Taxes
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. A cumulative loss in a particular tax jurisdiction in recent years is a significant piece of evidence with respect to the realizability that is difficult to overcome. Based on the available objective evidence including recent updates to the taxing jurisdictions generating income, the Company concluded that a valuation allowance of $8.3 million should be recorded against the Company’s U.S. tax jurisdiction deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2016. During the third quarter the valuation allowance decreased $0.4 million.
The Company has completed the examination for Federal purposes for the 2011 fiscal year with no changes. The Company has examinations not yet initiated for Federal purposes for fiscal years 2013, 2014, and 2015. In most cases, the Company has examinations open for state or local jurisdictions based on the particular jurisdiction’s statute of limitations.
10. Stock Compensation
The Company recognizes compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on their estimated fair values. Share-based compensation expense included in selling and administrative expenses approximated $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
Long-Term Incentive Plan
The Company’s 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2010 Plan”) provides the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors with the discretion to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, and performance units. Vesting terms vary with each grant and may be subject to vesting upon a “change in control” of the Company. The total number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2010 Plan is 1,600,000 shares. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company granted no restricted stock units or stock options and during the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company granted no restricted stock units and 100,000 stock options under the 2010 Plan.
| 13 |
Options
As noted above, under the 2010 Plan, the Company granted options to purchase 100,000 shares during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016. Options to purchase shares of common stock were granted with exercise prices equal to the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant and vest immediately or over a five-year period.
The weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 was $4.20. There were no stock options granted during the three month period ended September 30, 2016 or during the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2015. The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes valuation model with the following weighted average assumptions:
| 2016 | ||||
| Expected dividend yield at date of grant | 0.00 | % | ||
| Risk-free interest rate | 1.35 | % | ||
| Expected stock price volatility | 32.26 | % | ||
| Expected life of options (in years) | 5.7 | |||
The risk-free interest rate assumptions were based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The expected volatility was based on historical daily price changes of the Company’s stock for one year prior to the date of grant. The expected life of options is the average number of years the Company estimates that options will be outstanding. The Company considers groups of associates that have similar historical exercise behavior separately for valuation purposes.
The following table summarizes the Company’s activities with respect to its stock options for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as follows:
| Number
of Options | Weighted Average Exercise Price Per Share | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term | Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) | |||||||||||||
| Outstanding at December 31, 2015 | 450,800 | $ | 4.48 | 9.21 | $ | 131 | ||||||||||
| Granted | 100,000 | 4.20 | ||||||||||||||

| Exercisable at September 30, 2016 | 73,300 | $ | 4.41 | 8.07 | $ | 190 | ||||||||||
The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total that would have been received by the option holders if all in-the-money options had been exercised and sold on September 30, 2016.
As of September 30, 2016, 420,000 stock option awards were non-vested. Unrecognized compensation cost related to stock option awards was approximately $0.5 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 4.2 years.
Restricted Stock Plans
The Ballantyne Strong, Inc. 2014 Non-Employee Directors’ Restricted Stock Plan (the “2014 Non-Employee Plan”) provides for the award of restricted shares to outside directors. Shares issued under the 2014 Non-Employee Plan vest the day preceding the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders in the year following issuance. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company granted 45,555 restricted shares with a weighted average grant date fair value of $4.89 under the Non-Employee Plan.
In connection with the restricted stock granted to certain employees and non-employee directors, the Company accrues compensation expense based on the estimated number of shares expected to be issued utilizing the most current information available to the Company at the date of the financial statements. The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock awards based upon the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant.
As of September 30, 2016, the total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock awards was approximately $0.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.1 years.

| Shares forfeited | (5,625 | ) | 3.75 | |||||
| Non-vested at September 30, 2016 | 97,045 | $ | 4.52 | |||||
11. Commitments, Contingencies and Concentrations
Concentrations
The Company’s top ten customers accounted for approximately 53.3% and 49.8% of total consolidated net revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Trade accounts receivable from these customers represented approximately 35.5% of net consolidated receivables at September 30, 2016. While the Company believes its relationships with such customers are stable, most arrangements are made by purchase order and are terminable at will by either party. A significant decrease or interruption in business from the Company’s significant customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company could also be adversely affected by such factors as changes in foreign currency rates and weak economic and political conditions in each of the countries in which the Company sells its products.
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to a concentration of credit risk principally consist of accounts receivable. The Company sells product to a large number of customers in many different geographic regions. To minimize credit concentration risk, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition.
Leases
The Company and its subsidiaries lease plant and office facilities, furniture, autos and equipment under operating leases expiring through 2021. These leases generally contain renewal options and the Company expects to renew or replace certain of these leases in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s future minimum lease payments for leases at September 30, 2016 are as follows:
| Capital Leases | Operating Leases | |||||||

| Capital lease obligations, net of current portion | $ | 423 | ||||||
12. Business Segment Information
As of September 30, 2016 the Company’s operations were conducted principally through two business segments: Cinema and Digital Media. Cinema operations include the sale of digital projection equipment, screens, and sound systems. Digital Media operations include the delivery of end to end digital signage solutions, video communication solutions, content creation and management and service of digital signage and digital cinema equipment. The Company allocates resources to business segments and evaluates the performance of these segments based upon reported segment operating profit. The Company records intercompany sales at cost and has eliminated all significant intercompany sales in consolidation. The results of discontinued operations are excluded from the Cinema segment information below.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. Management’s discussion and analysis contains not only historical information, but also forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Statements that are not historical are forward-looking and reflect expectations for future Company performance. For these statements, the Company claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to those discussed in the “Risk Factors” section contained in Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 and the following risks and uncertainties: the Company’s ability to expand its revenue streams to compensate for the lower demand for its digital cinema products and installation services, potential interruptions of supplier relationships or higher prices charged by suppliers, the Company’s ability to successfully compete and introduce enhancements and new features that achieve market acceptance and that keep pace with technological developments, the Company’s ability to successfully execute its investment strategy, the Company’s ability to retain or replace its significant customers, the impact of challenging global economic environment or a downturn in the markets, economic and political risks of selling products in foreign countries, risks of non-compliance with U.S. and foreign laws and regulations, cybersecurity risks and risks of damage and interruptions of information technology systems, the Company’s ability to retain key members of management and successfully integrate the new executives, acquisition-related risks, the Company’s ability to assert its intellectual property rights, the impact of natural disasters and other catastrophic events, the adequacy of insurance, and the impact of having a controlling stockholder. Given the risks and uncertainties, readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and should recognize that the statements are predictions of future results which may not occur as anticipated. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements and from historical results, due to the risks and uncertainties described herein, as well as others not now anticipated. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Except where required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results or changes in factors or assumptions affecting such forward-looking statements.
Overview
Ballantyne Strong, Inc. (“BTN”, “Ballantyne”, “the Company”, “we”, “our”, and “us”) is a holding company with diverse business activities focused on serving the cinema, retail, financial and government markets. The Company and its subsidiaries design, integrate, and install technology solutions for a broad range of applications; develop and deliver out-of-home messaging, advertising and communications; manufacture projection screens; and provide managed services including monitoring of networked equipment to our customers. We add value through our design, engineering, manufacturing excellence and customer service.
We conduct our operations through two primary business segments: Cinema and Digital Media. The Cinema segment provides a full range of products and services to the theatre exhibition industry from the design and installation of new theatre exhibition systems and related equipment to complete film-to-digital theatre conversion services. The systems include a wide spectrum of premier audio-visual products and accessories such as: digital projectors, state of the art projection screens, servers and library management systems, menu boards, flat panel displays, and sound systems. The Digital Media segment delivers solutions and services across two primary markets: digital out-of-home and cinema. These markets are served through the capabilities the Company has from our Convergent and Strong Technical Services (“STS”) businesses, respectively. While there is digital signage equipment sold within this segment, the primary focus of this segment is providing solutions and services to our customers.
Our segments were determined based on the manner in which management organizes segments for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Approximately 57% of our revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were from Cinema and approximately 43% were from Digital Media. Additional information related to our reporting segments can be found in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
On June 21, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan under which the Company will pursue a sale of the operations conducted by its subsidiaries Strong Westrex (Beijing) Technology Inc. (“SWBTI”) and Strong Westrex Inc. (the “China Operations”) which was historically included in the Cinema segment. We expect to complete the sale within the next twelve months. The purpose of the plan is to focus the efforts of the Company on the business units that have opportunities for higher return on invested capital. We reflected the results of the China Operations as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
On November 4, 2016, the Company sold SWBTI to GABO Filter, Inc. for total proceeds of $0.4 million. As part of this sale the Company expects to record a loss on discontinued operations of approximately $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. The final loss from discontinued operations related to this sale may differ from this estimate depending on the actual proceeds received and the actual disposition costs incurred. In addition, the Company expects to incur charges of $0.3 million in the fourth quarter related to severance for discontinued operations in conjunction with the sale of SWBTI.

Results of Operations:
Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015
Revenues
Net revenues during the three months ended September 30, 2016 decreased 5.5% to $18.7 million from $19.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Cinema
Sales of cinema products and services increased 0.2% to $11.1 million in the third quarter of 2016 from $11.0 million in the third quarter of 2015. This increase was driven by a $0.2 million increase in digital cinema products and services and a $0.1 million increase in screen sales, offset by a $0.1 million decrease in lighting and security sales as those businesses were exited in 2015.
Digital Media
Sales of digital media products and services decreased 12.0% to $7.9 million in the third quarter of 2016 from $9.0 million in the third quarter of 2015. Sales of products and services related to cinema equipment maintenance and digital signage as well as content creation, management and distribution decreased $1.0 million.
Export Revenues
Sales outside the United States (primarily from the cinema segment) decreased to $4.0 million in the third quarter of 2016 from $4.3 million a year ago resulting primarily from decreased sales in Canada, Mexico, and Europe, offset by increased sales in China. Export sales are sensitive to worldwide economic and political conditions that lead to volatility. Certain areas of the world are more cost conscious than the U.S. market and there are instances where our products are priced higher than local manufacturers making it more difficult to generate sufficient profit to justify selling into these regions. Additionally, foreign exchange rates and excise taxes sometimes make it difficult to market our products overseas at reasonable selling prices.
Gross Profit
Consolidated gross profit was $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2015, gross profit as a percent of revenue was 23.4% and 19.1% in the third quarter of 2016 and the third quarter of 2015, respectively. Gross profit in the cinema segment decreased to $2.8 million in the third quarter of 2016 from $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2015 and decreased as a percentage of sales to 24.8% in 2016 from 29.2% in 2015. The decrease in gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of sales from the cinema segment was driven by increases in inventory valuation and warranty reserves.
The gross profit in the digital media segment increased to $1.6 million or 20.6% as a percentage of revenues in the third quarter of 2016 from $0.6 million or 6.2% as a percentage of revenues in the third quarter of 2015. The increase in gross margin was driven by more favorable absorption of our fixed operating costs as revenues increased compared to prior year.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses increased 11.1% to $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2016 compared to $1.0 million a year-ago and as a percentage of revenues increased to 6.0% from 5.1% a year-ago. The increase in selling expenses was primarily due to increased employee related costs.
| 18 |
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses decreased 20.0% to $3.0 million in the third quarter of 2016 from $3.7 million in the third quarter of 2015 and as a percent of total revenue decreased to 16.0% in the third quarter of 2016 from 18.9% in the third quarter of 2015. The decrease in expenses is primarily due to lower compensation related costs resulting from our 2015 strategic restructuring.
Other Financial Items
The third quarter of 2016 includes insignificant total other income due to various insignificant income and expense items.
The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rates primarily as a result of the valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s U.S. tax jurisdiction deferred tax assets and differing foreign and U.S. tax rates applied to respective pre-tax earnings by tax jurisdiction.
As a result of the items outlined above, we generated net loss from continuing operations of approximately ($0.5) million and basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations of ($0.03) in the third quarter of 2016 compared to net loss from continuing operations of ($2.5) million and basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations of ($0.18) a year-ago, respectively.
Results of Discontinued Operations
Our discontinued operations were insignificant in the third quarter of 2016 compared to an after tax loss of ($0.7) million and basic and diluted loss per share of ($0.05) in the third quarter of 2015.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015

Cinema
Sales of cinema products and services decreased 5.0% to $32.1 million in the first nine months of 2016 from $33.8 million in the first nine months of 2015. This decrease was driven by a $1.4 million decrease in digital cinema products and services and a $1.4 million decrease in lighting and security sales as those businesses were exited in 2015. These decreases were offset by a $1.1 million increase in screen sales.
Digital Media
Sales of digital media products and services increased 6.6% to $25.4 million in the first nine months of 2016 from $23.8 million in the first nine months of 2015. Sales of products and services related to cinema equipment maintenance and digital signage as well as content creation, management and distribution increased $1.6 million.
| 19 |
Export Revenues
Sales outside the United States (primarily from the cinema segment) decreased to $12.2 million in the first nine months of 2016 from $13.3 million in the first nine months of 2015 resulting primarily from decreased sales in Latin America, Europe, Mexico and Canada, offset by increased sales in China. Certain areas of the world are more cost conscious than the U.S. market and there are instances where our products are priced higher than local manufacturers making it more difficult to generate sufficient profit to justify selling into these regions. Additionally, foreign exchange rates and excise taxes sometimes make it difficult to market our products overseas at reasonable selling prices.
Gross Profit
Consolidated gross profit was $15.8 million in the first nine months of 2016 and $11.5 million in the first nine months of 2015, gross profit as a percent of revenue was 28.0% and 20.3% in the first nine months of 2016 and the first nine months of 2015, respectively. Gross profit in the cinema segment increased to $10.0 million in the first nine months of 2016 from $8.4 million in the first nine months of 2015 and increased as a percentage of sales to 31.2% in 2016 from 25.0% in 2015. The increase in gross margin was driven by write-offs of inventory in 2015.
The gross profit in the digital media segment increased to $5.8 million or 22.7% as a percentage of revenues in the first nine months of 2016 from $3.1 million or 13.0% as a percentage of revenues in the first nine months of 2015. The increase in gross margin was driven by more favorable absorption of our fixed operating costs as revenues increased compared to prior year.
Selling Expenses
Selling expenses decreased 16.4% to $3.3 million in the first nine months of 2016 compared to $3.9 million a year-ago and as a percentage of revenues decreased to 5.9% from 7.0% a year-ago. The decrease in selling expenses was primarily due to decreased employee related costs.
Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses decreased 18.5% to $9.1 million in the first nine months of 2016 from $11.2 million in the first nine months of 2015 and as a percent of total revenue decreased to 16.3% in the first nine months of 2016 from 19.7% in the first nine months of 2015. The decrease in expenses is primarily due to lower compensation related costs resulting from our 2015 strategic restructuring.
Other Financial Items
The first nine months of 2016 includes total other expense of $0.8 million primarily related to $1.0 million of net losses on foreign currency transactions and $0.4 million of decrease in market value of marketable securities, offset by $0.5 million of excess joint venture distributions recognized as income. The first nine months of 2015 includes total other income of $0.1 million primarily related to $1.3 million of net gains on foreign currency transactions and $0.3 million of net interest income, offset by a loss of $1.6 million related to the fair value adjustment to notes receivable.
The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rates primarily as a result of the valuation allowance recorded against the Company’s U.S. tax jurisdiction deferred tax assets and differing foreign and U.S. tax rates applied to respective pre-tax earnings by tax jurisdiction.
As a result of the items outlined above, we generated net earnings from continuing operations of approximately $0.5 million and basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.03 in the first nine months of 2016 compared to net loss from continuing operations of ($15.2) million and basic and diluted loss per share from continuing operations of ($1.08) a year-ago, respectively.
Results of Discontinued Operations
Our discontinued operations generated an after tax loss of ($0.7) million and basic and diluted loss per share of ($0.05) in the first nine months of 2016 compared to an after tax loss of ($1.1) million and basic and diluted loss per share of ($0.07) in the first nine months of 2015, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the past several years, we have met our working capital and capital resource needs from either our operating or investing cash flows or a combination of both. We ended the third quarter with total cash and cash equivalents of $13.8 million compared to $17.9 million at December 31, 2015. As of September 30, 2016, $8.3 million of the $13.8 million in cash and cash equivalents was held by our foreign subsidiaries. If these funds are needed for our operations in the U.S., we would be required to pay U.S. income taxes and foreign withholding taxes on a portion of these funds when repatriated back to the U.S.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $0.5 million in the first nine months of 2016, which included net income from continuing operations of $0.5 million, offset by non-cash charges (benefits) of deferred tax expense, depreciation and amortization, reserve provisions, equity method investment income, change in value of marketable securities and, excess distribution from joint ventures non-cash stock compensation totaling $1.8 million. Changes in working capital decreased cash from operating activities of continuing operations by $2.3 million, primarily due an increase in inventories and a decrease in current income taxes. Inventories increased $0.7 million primarily due to timing of customer orders at the end of the quarter. Current income taxes decreased $1.7 million primarily due to payments for Canadian income taxes.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $5.0 million in the first nine months of 2015, which included a net loss from continuing operations of $15.2 million, offset by non-cash charges (benefits) of deferred tax expense, depreciation and amortization, reserve provisions, equity method investment income, fair value adjustment to notes receivable, impairment of intangibles, and non-cash stock compensation totaling $14.9 million. Changes in working capital benefitted cash from operating activities of continuing operations of $5.2 million, primarily due to decrease in accounts receivable, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable. Accounts receivable balances decreased $6.1 million due to decreased sales in the first nine months of 2015 compared to the last nine months of 2014. Accounts payable balances decreased $1.0 million due to payments made to vendors during the first nine months of 2015 for purchases made to fulfill orders during the fourth quarter of 2014.
Net cash used in operating activities of discontinued operations was $1.6 million in the first nine months of 2016 compared to net cash used in operating activities of discontinued operations of $0.4 million in the first nine months of 2015.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $5.0 million in the first nine months of 2016 due to $4.1 million in purchases of equity securities and $1.1 million for capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to $1.0 million in the first nine months of 2015 and was primarily for capital expenditures.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2016 was $0.3 million and primarily for purchase of treasury stock and payment on capital leases. Cash flows from financing activities were minimal in the first nine months of 2015.
The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from continuing operations increased (decreased) cash and cash equivalents by $0.8 million and ($1.2) million in the first nine months of 2016 and 2015, respectively.
The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from discontinued operations decreased cash and cash equivalents by $0.1 million in the first nine months of 2016 and 2015.
Hedging and Trading Activities
Our primary exposure to foreign currency fluctuations pertains to our subsidiaries in Canada and China. In certain instances, the Company may enter into a foreign exchange contract to manage a portion of this risk. We do not have any trading activities that include non-exchange traded contracts at fair value.

There were no other material contractual obligations other than inventory and property, plant and equipment purchases in the ordinary course of business.
Seasonality
Generally, our quarterly revenue and earnings fluctuate moderately from quarter to quarter. As we increase our sales in our current markets, and as we expand into new markets in different geographies, it is possible we may experience different seasonality patterns in our business. As a result, the results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for an entire fiscal year.
Litigation
From time to time we may be involved in various claims and legal actions which are routine litigation matters incidental to the business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these other matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of recently issued accounting pronouncements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management must make a variety of decisions which impact the reported amounts and the related disclosures. These decisions include the selection of the appropriate accounting principles to be applied and the assumptions on which to base accounting estimates. In making these decisions, management applies its judgment based on its understanding and analysis of the relevant circumstances and our historical experience.
Our accounting policies and estimates that are most critical to the presentation of our results of operations and financial condition, and which require the greatest use of judgments and estimates by management, are designated as our critical accounting policies. See further discussion of our critical accounting policies under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our year ended December 31, 2015. We periodically re-evaluate and adjust our critical accounting policies as circumstances change. There were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2016.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The principal market risks affecting us are exposure to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. We market our products throughout the United States and the world. As a result, we could be adversely affected by such factors as changes in foreign currency rates and weak economic conditions. As a majority of our sales are currently denominated in U.S. dollars, a strengthening of the dollar can and sometimes has made our products less competitive in foreign markets.
Interest Rates—Interest rate risks from our interest related accounts such as our postretirement obligations are not deemed significant. We currently have long-term notes receivables bearing interest rates of 15% which are recorded at fair value. A change in long-term interest rates for comparable types of instruments would have the effect of us recording changes in fair value through our statement of operations.
Foreign Exchange—Exposures to transactions denominated in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency are primarily related to our China and Canadian subsidiaries. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies create exposures, which can adversely affect our results of operations. From time to time, as market conditions indicate, we will enter into foreign currency contracts to manage the risks associated with forecasted transactions. A portion of our cash in the China and Canadian subsidiaries is denominated in foreign currencies, where fluctuations in exchange rates will impact our cash balances in U.S. dollar terms. A hypothetical 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar would impact our reported cash balance by approximately $0.8 million.
| 22 |
Equity Price Risk—We are exposed to equity price risk related to certain of our investments in equity securities. At September 30, 2016, our equity securities aggregated $9.8 million, of which $2.0 million represented marketable securities that are reported at fair value, and $7.8 million accounted for using the equity-method. A change in the equity price of the marketable securities or equity method investments would result in a change in the fair value or economic value, respectively, of such securities.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective at ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended) is (1) accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and (2) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter for the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such internal control over financial reporting.
In the ordinary course of business operations, we are involved, from time to time, in certain legal disputes. No such disputes, individually or in the aggregate, are expected to have a material effect on our business or financial condition.
Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 includes a detailed discussion of the Company’s risk factors. There have been no material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On August 20, 2015, we announced that our Board of Directors adopted a stock repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to 700,000 shares of our outstanding Common Stock pursuant to a plan adopted under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended). Repurchases during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 are reflected in the following table.
