Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(In thousands, except for share and per share data and unless otherwise noted)
Note 1 – Description of the Business
FreightCar America, Inc. (“FreightCar”) operates primarily in North America through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, JAC Operations, Inc., Johnstown America, LLC, Freight Car Services, Inc., JAIX Leasing Company (“JAIX”), FreightCar America Leasing, LLC, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC, FreightCar Roanoke, LLC, FreightCar Mauritius Ltd. (“Mauritius”), FreightCar Rail Services, LLC (“FCRS”), FreightCar Short Line, Inc. (“FCSL”), FreightCar Alabama, LLC FreightCar (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd, FCAI Holdings, LLC, (“FCAI”), FCA-FASEMEX, LLC, FCA-FASEMEX, S. de R.L. de C.V. and FCA-FASEMEX Enterprise, S. de R.L. de C.V., (herein collectively referred to as the “Company”), and manufactures a wide range of railroad freight cars, supplies railcar parts and leases freight cars. The Company designs and builds high-quality railcars, including coal cars, bulk commodity cars, covered hopper cars, intermodal and non-intermodal flat cars, mill gondola cars, coil steel cars and boxcars as well as railcar conversions. The Company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois and has facilities in the following locations: Cherokee, Alabama; Grand Island, Nebraska; Johnstown, Pennsylvania; and Shanghai, People’s Republic of China, and in Castaños, Mexico.
The Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries are wholly owned except for the Fasemex entities related to our Mexico operations. The Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are all Delaware corporations or Delaware limited liability companies except Mauritius, which is incorporated in Mauritius, FreightCar (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd., which is organized in the People’s Republic of China, and FCA-FASEMEX, S. de R.L., de C.V. and FCA-FASEMEX Enterprise, S. de R.L. de C.V. which are organized in Mexico.
On September 19, 2019, the Company announced the formation of a joint venture with Fabricaciones y Servicios de México, S.A. de C.V. (“Fasemex”), a Mexican company with operations in both Mexico and the United States. The joint venture will lease a manufacturing facility in Castaños, Mexico in which it will manufacture railcars. Production of railcars at the facility is expected to begin in the second half of 2020. The Company ceased operations at its Roanoke, Virginia manufacturing facility and has vacated the facility as of March 31, 2020.
Note 2 – Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of FreightCar America, Inc. and subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. During 2019 the Company entered into a joint venture arrangement with Fasemex to manufacture railcars in Castaños, Mexico, in exchange for a 50% interest in the operation. Under the terms of the joint venture operating agreement, the Company has the right to appoint the majority of the members of the board and management for the joint venture. The Company therefore, has determined that it has the power to direct the activities of the related entities that most significantly impact their economic performance and it also has the right to receive significant benefits and obligation to absorb losses from the operations, and as such, the Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities (“VIEs”). Therefore, these entities are consolidated as VIEs. The Company’s initial commitments under the joint venture include capital contributions of up to $25.0 million over several years through a combination of assets and cash of which $7.1 million has been provided as of June 30, 2020. The total assets of the Mexico operations amount to $5.2 million, consisting primarily of construction in progress as of June 30, 2020. The total liabilities of the Mexico operations amount to $0.1 million as of June 30, 2020. The net loss of the Mexico operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 is $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The noncontrolling minority interest as of June 30, 2020 and net loss attributable to the noncontrolling minority interest for the six months ended June 30, 2020 amounted to $(0.5) million and $(0.4) million, respectively.
The foregoing financial information has been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim financial reporting. The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The accompanying interim financial information is unaudited; however, the Company believes the financial information reflects all adjustments (consisting of items of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP. The 2019 year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2019. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the Company’s annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform, which provides companies with optional guidance, including expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts and other transactions affected by reference rate reform, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). This new standard was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software, which requires capitalization of certain implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Adoption of this standard on January 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General, which modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit and other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 eliminates certain disclosures related to accumulated other comprehensive income, plan assets, related parties and the effects of interest rate basis point changes on assumed health care costs, and adds disclosures to address significant gains and losses related to changes in benefit obligations. ASU 2018-14 also clarifies disclosure requirements for projected benefit and accumulated benefit obligations. ASU 2018-14 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. Adoption on a retrospective basis for all periods presented is required. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Note 4 – Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception of a contract. Substantially all of the Company’s leases are operating leases. A significant portion of the Company’s operating lease portfolio includes manufacturing sites, component warehouses and corporate offices. The remaining lease terms on the majority of the Company’s leases is between 2.5 to 8 years, some of which include options to extend the lease terms. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets are presented within long term assets, the current portion of operating lease liabilities is presented within current liabilities and the non-current portion of operating lease liabilities are presented within long term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the lease term and the lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make the lease payments arising during the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the net present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. The Company’s lease term includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. As most of the Company’s operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

On February 26, 2019, the Company entered into an Amendment to its lease of the Shoals, Alabama manufacturing facility to extend the initial term thereof from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2026, with two -year extension terms thereafter through December 31, 2031 and December 31, 2036, at the Company’s option. In addition, the Company will vacate up to 40% of the manufacturing facility on or before December 31, 2021 with the base rent payable to the Landlord reduced on proportional basis. The Company accounted for the amendment as a modification of the lease, resulting in a non-cash increase to lease liability and right of use asset of $32,079 during the first quarter of 2019. The Company concluded that the initial term through December 31, 2026 would be included in the measurement of lease liabilities as of the modification date. The Company has concluded that the options for extensions beyond that date are not reasonably certain of exercise, and have been excluded from the measurement of lease liabilities.
During 2019, the Company entered into a lease agreement of new office space for which the Company took possession on February 1, 2020. The new lease arrangement requires total minimum lease payments of approximately $3,000 over 11.5 years.

Contract Balances and Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable payments for railcar sales are typically due within 5 to 10 business days of invoicing, while payments from parts sales are typically due within 30 to 45 business days of invoicing. The Company has not experienced significant historical credit losses. However, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company recognized a provision for doubtful accounts of $334 largely related to one customer in its leasing portfolio that filed for bankruptcy.
Contract assets represent the Company’s rights to consideration for performance obligations that have been satisfied but for which the terms of the contract do not permit billing at the reporting date. The Company has no contract assets as of June 30, 2020. The Company may receive cash payments from customers in advance of the Company satisfying performance obligations under its sales contracts resulting in deferred revenue or customer deposits, which are considered contract liabilities. Deferred revenue and customer deposits are classified as either current or long-term in the Consolidated Balance Sheet based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the related revenue. Deferred revenue and customer deposits included in customer deposits, other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were $36,198 and $5,607 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Performance Obligations
The Company is electing not to disclose the value of the remaining unsatisfied performance obligation with a duration of one year or less as permitted by ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The Company had remaining unsatisfied performance obligations as of June 30, 2020 with expected duration of greater than one year of $55,684.
Note 6 – Segment Information
The Company’s operations comprise two operating segments, Manufacturing and Parts, and one reportable segment, Manufacturing. The Company’s Manufacturing segment includes new railcar manufacturing, used railcar sales, railcar leasing and major railcar rebuilds. The Company’s Parts operating segment is not significant for reporting purposes and has been combined with corporate and other non-operating activities as Corporate and Other.
Segment operating income is an internal performance measure used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker to assess the performance of each segment in a given period. Segment operating income includes all external revenues attributable to the segments as well as operating costs and income that management believes are directly attributable to the current production of goods and services. The Company’s management reporting package does not include interest revenue, interest expense or income taxes allocated to individual segments and these items are not considered as a component of segment operating income. Segment assets represent operating assets and exclude intersegment accounts, deferred tax assets and income tax receivables. The Company does not allocate cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to its operating segments as the Company’s treasury function is managed at the corporate level. Intersegment revenues were not material in any period presented.

Note 10 – Debt Financing and Revolving Credit Facilities
BMO Credit Agreement
On April 12, 2019, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “BMO Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers and guarantors (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), and BMO Harris Bank N.A., as lender (“BMO”). Pursuant to the BMO Credit Agreement, BMO extended an asset-based credit facility, in the maximum aggregate principal amount of up to $50,000, consisting of revolving loans and a sub-facility for letters of credit not to exceed the lesser of $10,000 and the amount of the revolving credit facility.
The BMO Credit Agreement has a term ending on April 12, 2024. Revolving loans outstanding thereunder will bear interest, at the Borrowers’ option and subject to the provisions of the BMO Credit Agreement, at Base Rate (as defined in the BMO Credit Agreement) or LIBOR Rate (as defined in the BMO Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin for each such interest rate set forth in the BMO Credit Agreement.
The BMO Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility with maximum availability of $42,500, subject to borrowing base requirements set forth in the BMO Credit Agreement. The maximum availability under the BMO Credit Agreement is determined by a formula and may fluctuate depending on the value of the borrowing base included in such formula at the time of determination. On February 21, 2020, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers and guarantors, and BMO, amended the BMO Credit Agreement, to, among other things, increase the borrowing base during the period commencing February 21, 2020 until May 15, 2020 by the lesser of (i) 100% of qualified unrestricted cash and (ii) $4,000.
The BMO Credit Agreement has both affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, limitations on indebtedness, liens and investments. The BMO Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default. Borrowings under the BMO Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the Borrowers’ assets. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had no borrowings under the BMO credit facility and $10,195 available for borrowing under the BMO credit facility. The Company has a $4,000 letter of credit outstanding under the letter of credit sub-facility of the BMO Credit Agreement.
M&T Credit Agreement
On April 16, 2019, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Freightcar Leasing Borrower”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “M&T Credit Agreement”) with M & T Bank, N.A., as lender (“M&T”). Pursuant
to the M&T Credit Agreement, M&T extended a revolving credit facility to Freightcar Leasing Borrower in an aggregate amount of up to $40,000 for the purpose of financing railcars which will be leased to third parties.
Freightcar Leasing Borrower also entered into a Security Agreement on April 16, 2019 (the “M&T Security Agreement”) pursuant to which it granted a security interest in all of its assets to M&T to secure its obligations under the M&T Credit Agreement.
On April 16, 2019, FreightCar America Leasing, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and parent of Freightcar Leasing Borrower (“Freightcar Leasing Guarantor”), entered into (i) a Guaranty Agreement (the “M&T Guaranty Agreement”) pursuant to which Freightcar Leasing Guarantor guaranteed the repayment and performance of certain obligations of Freightcar Leasing Borrower and (ii) a Pledge Agreement (the “M&T Pledge Agreement”) pursuant to which Freightcar Leasing Guarantor pledged to M&T all of the equity of Freightcar Leasing Borrower held by Freightcar Leasing Guarantor.
The loans under the M&T Credit Agreement are non-recourse to the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries other than the assets of Freightcar Leasing Borrower and Freightcar Leasing Guarantor.
The M&T Credit Agreement has a term ending on April 16, 2021. Loans outstanding thereunder bear interest, accrued daily, at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) or the Adjusted Base Rate (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement).
The M&T Credit Agreement has both affirmative and negative covenants, including, without limitation, maintaining an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the M&T Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.25:1.00, measured quarterly, and limitations on indebtedness, loans, liens and investments. The M&T Credit Agreement also provides for customary events of default. As of June 30, 2020, FreightCar Leasing Borrower had $10,200 in outstanding debt under the M&T Credit Agreement which was collateralized by leased railcars with a carrying value of $16,253. As of June 30, 2020, the interest rate on outstanding debt under the M&T Credit Agreement was 2.24% representing the 90 day LIBOR plus 2.05%. On August 7, 2020, Freightcar Leasing Borrower was notified of an event of default by M&T Bank. See Note 17 – Subsequent Event.
SBA Paycheck Protection Program Loan
In March 2020, Congress passed the Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”), authorizing loans to small businesses for use in paying employees that they continue to employ throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and for rent, utilities and interest on mortgages. In June 2020, Congress enacted the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act (“PPPFA”), amending the PPP.
Loans obtained through the PPP, as amended, are eligible to be forgiven as long as the proceeds are used for qualifying purposes and certain other conditions are met. On April 16, 2020, the Company received a loan in the amount of $10,000 through the Paycheck Protection Program. Management expects that the entire loan will be used for payroll, utilities and interest; therefore, management anticipates that the majority of the PPP Loan will be forgiven. To the extent it is not forgiven, the Company would be required to repay that portion at an interest rate of 1% over a period of two years, with $7,500 due in 2021 and with $2,500 due in 2022 with a final installment in April 2022.
Long-term debt consists of the following as of June 30, 2020:
|
|
|
Advances under M&T Credit Agreement | $ | 10,200 |
SBA Payroll Protection Program Loan |
| 10,000 |

| 20,200 |
Less amounts due within one year |
| (13,950) |

Note 12 – Stock-Based Compensation
Total stock-based compensation was $(156) and $(415) for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively and $94 and $274 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. As of June 30, 2020, there was $1,569 of unearned compensation expense related to restricted stock awards, which will be recognized over the remaining weighed average requisite service period of 22 months. As of June 30, 2020, there was $330 of unearned compensation related to time-vested stock options, which will be recognized over the remaining requisite service period of 18 months.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company granted 1,129,464 cash settled stock appreciation rights to certain employees of which 260,431 were forfeited during 2020 and 869,033 remain outstanding as of June 30, 2020. Each stock appreciation right represents the right to receive a payment measured by the increase in the fair market value of one share of the Company’s stock from the date of grant of the stock appreciation right to the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right. The cash settled stock appreciation rights vest ratably over three years and have a contractual life of 10 years. Cash settled stock appreciation rights are classified as liabilities. The Company measures the fair value of cash settled stock appreciation rights using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and remeasures the fair value of the award each reporting period until the award is settled. Compensation cost for cash settled stock appreciation rights is trued up each reporting period for changes in fair value pro-rated for the portion of the requisite service period rendered. Once vested the Company immediately recognizes compensation cost for any changes in fair value of cash settled stock appreciation rights until settlement. The estimated fair value of the cash settled stock appreciation rights as of June 30, 2020 was $470. Stock-based compensation for cash settled stock appreciation rights for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was not material.
The fair value of cash settled stock appreciation rights as of June 30, 2020 was estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model with the following assumptions:

2020 | 4/7/2020 | 5.8 years | 57.24% | 0.00% | 0.35% | $0.71 |
Note 13 – Employee Benefit Plans
The Company has a qualified, defined benefit pension plan that was established to provide benefits to certain employees. The plan is frozen and participants are no longer accruing benefits. Generally, contributions to the plan are not less than the minimum amounts required under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and not more than the maximum amount that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes. The plan assets are held by an independent trustee and consist primarily of equity and fixed income securities.
The Company also provided certain postretirement health care benefits for certain of its salaried retired employees. Generally, employees became eligible for health care benefits if they retired after attaining specified age and service requirements. These benefits were subject to deductibles, co-payment provisions and other limitations. On October 15, 2019, the Company notified retirees and affected active employees that it would terminate medical benefits offered to retirees of the Company and their dependents effective January 1, 2020. The retiree benefits that were terminated include medical insurance and vison insurance that were offered under the FreightCar America, Inc. Health and Welfare Plan.
The components of net periodic benefit cost (benefit) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, are as follows:

The Company made no contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plan for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The Company expects to make no contributions to its pension plan in 2020.
Due to the plan termination the Company made no postretirement benefit plan contributions during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. The Company made contributions to the Company’s postretirement benefit plan for salaried retirees of $158 and $276 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.
The Company also maintains qualified defined contribution plans, which provide benefits to employees based on employee contributions and employee earnings with discretionary contributions allowed. Expenses related to these plans were $372 and $743 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company suspended the employer contribution to its defined contribution plans.
Note 14 – Contingencies and Legal Settlements
The Company is involved in various warranty and repair claims and, in certain cases, related pending and threatened legal proceedings with its customers in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, the Company’s potential losses in excess of the accrued warranty and legal provisions, if any, are not expected to be material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company received cash payments of $15,733 and $1,410 during 2015 and 2017, respectively, for Alabama state and local incentives related to its capital investment and employment levels at its Cherokee, Alabama (“Shoals”) facility. Under the incentive agreements a certain portion of the incentives may be repayable by the Company if targeted levels of employment are not maintained for a period of up to six years from the date of the incentive. In the event that employment levels drop below the minimum targeted levels of employment and any portion of the incentives is required to be paid back, the amount is unlikely to exceed the deferred liability balance of $5,831 as of June 30, 2020.
As part of a settlement agreement reached with one of its customers during 2019, the Company agreed to pay $7,500 to settle all claims related to a prior year’s commercial dispute. During 2019, the Company paid $3,500 of the settlement amount and the remaining $4,000 will be paid over a period of three years, or on an accelerated basis in the event both parties agree to accelerate delivery of railcars currently in the backlog.
In addition to the foregoing, the Company is involved in certain other pending and threatened legal proceedings, including commercial disputes and workers’ compensation and employee matters arising out of the conduct of its business. While the ultimate outcome of these other legal proceedings cannot be determined at this time, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of these other actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 15 – Earnings Per Share
Shares used in the computation of the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per common share are reconciled as follows:

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, 1,107,304 and 707,395 shares, respectively, were not included in the weighted average common shares outstanding calculation as they were anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, 1,076,577 and 668,370 shares, respectively, were not included in the weighted average common shares outstanding calculation as they were anti-dilutive.
Note 16 – Restructuring and Impairment Charges
On July 22, 2019, the Company announced its intention to close its Roanoke, Virginia manufacturing facility as part of its “Back to Basics” strategy. The Company ceased operations at the facility as of November 29, 2019. The Company terminated its leases for the facility effective as of March 31, 2020. Restructuring and impairment charges of $3,295 and a lease termination gain of $2,224 related to the plant closure were recorded during 2019. Restructuring and impairment charges related to the plant closure primarily include non-cash impairment charges for property, plant and equipment at the Roanoke facility and employee severance and retention charges.

Note 17 – Subsequent Event
On August 7, 2020, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC (the “Leasing Company”) received notice (the “Notice”) from M&T Bank that, based on an appraisal (the “Appraisal”) conducted by a third party at the request of M&T Bank with respect to the railcars in the Leasing Company’s Borrowing Base under the M&T Credit Agreement, the unpaid principal balance under the M&T Credit Agreement exceeded the availability under the M&T Credit Agreement as of the date of the Appraisal by $5,081 (the “Payment Demand Amount”). In the Notice, M&T Bank has: (a) asserted that an Event of Default under the M&T Credit Agreement has occurred because the Leasing Company did not pay the Payment Demand Amount to M&T Bank within five days of the asserted change in availability; (b) demanded payment of the amount within five days of the date of the Notice; and (c) terminated the commitment to advance additional loans under the M&T Credit Agreement. The Leasing Company does not believe that an Event of Default has occurred and is contesting M&T Bank’s assertion. The Leasing Company has contacted M&T Bank with a demand to withdraw the Notice.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects. We have used the words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “likely,” “unlikely,” “intend” and similar expressions in this report to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. However, forward-looking statements inherently involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties relate to, among other things, risks relating to the potential financial and operational impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic; the cyclical nature of our business, the competitive nature of our industry, our reliance upon a small number of customers that represent a large percentage of our sales, the variable purchase patterns of our customers and the timing of completion, delivery and customer acceptance of orders, fluctuating costs of raw materials, including steel and aluminum, and delays in the delivery of raw materials, the risk of lack of acceptance of our new railcar offerings by our customers, risks relating to our relationship with our unionized employees and their unions and other competitive factors. The factors listed above are not exhaustive. Other sections of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q include additional factors that could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict the impact of all of these factors on our business, financial condition or results of operations 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. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not rely on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results. We expressly disclaim any duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, in order to reflect changes in circumstances or expectations or the occurrence of unanticipated events except to the extent required by applicable securities laws.
OVERVIEW
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and expressed in such forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
We are a diversified manufacturer of railcars and railcar components. We design and manufacture a broad variety of railcar types for transportation of bulk commodities and containerized freight products primarily in North America. We rebuild and convert railcars and sell forged, cast and fabricated parts for all of the railcars we produce, as well as those manufactured by others. We also lease freight cars. Our primary customers are railroads, shippers and financial institutions.
On July 22, 2019, the Company announced its intention to close its Roanoke, Virginia manufacturing facility as part of its “Back to Basics” strategy. The Company ceased operations at the facility as of November 29, 2019. The Company terminated its leases for the facility effective as of March 31, 2020. Restructuring and impairment charges of $3.3 million and a lease termination gain of $2.2 million related to the plant closure were recorded during the last half of 2019. Additional restructuring and impairment charges of $1.1 million were recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Restructuring and impairment charges related to the plant closure primarily include charges related to property, plant and equipment disposed of or abandoned at the Roanoke facility and employee severance and retention charges.
On September 19, 2019, the Company announced the formation of a joint venture with Fabricaciones y Servicios de México, S.A. de C.V. (“Fasemex”), a Mexican company with operations in both Mexico and the United States. The joint venture will lease a manufacturing facility in Castanos, Mexico in which it will manufacture new railcars and convert existing railcars. Production of railcars at the facility is expected to begin in the second half of 2020. The Company’s initial obligations under the joint venture include capital contributions of $25 million over several years through a combination of assets and cash. The Company expects to contribute between $3 million and $5 million to the joint venture during the remainder of 2020.
Total new orders received for railcars for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were 300 units all of which were rebuilt railcars, compared to orders for 792 units, consisting of 292 new railcars and 500 rebuilt railcars, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in the number of new orders for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the prior year period is a reflection of the cyclical downturn (“Cyclical Downturn”) in the railcar equipment market, which began prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has served to, and may continue to, intensify the Cyclical Downturn. Total backlog of unfilled orders was 1,839 units at June 30, 2020, compared to 1,650 units at December 31, 2019. The estimated sales value of the backlog was $207 million and $206 million,
respectively, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Of the backlog as of June 30, 2020, the Company anticipates that between 750 to 1,000 cars will be recognized as revenue by December 31, 2020.
Since first being reported in December 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic continues to create a general disruption across the world economy. We are closely monitoring and managing the impacts of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic on our business, as well as the significant decline in global economic activity, and governmental reactions to the pandemic. The United States government and the Mexico Federal Ministry of Health and Federal Ministry of Communications and Transportation cited the railcar industry as critical to the United States and Mexico’s response efforts to the pandemic. The railcar industry is susceptible to a reduction in demand associated with the overall economic slowdown caused by the virus. In addition, public health organizations and national, state and local governments have implemented measures to combat the spread of COVID-19, including restrictions on movement such as quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders and social distancing ordinances and restricting or prohibiting some forms of business activity. Accordingly, our ability to predict industry demand and establish forecasts for sales, operating results and cash flows may be impacted. Furthermore, our plant operations and supply chain are potentially susceptible to large-scale outbreaks of the virus within our workforce or that of any of our suppliers.
Our management is focused on mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the risk to our employees. Therefore, we have taken a number of precautionary measures intended to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on our business and the risk to our employees, including implementing detailed cleaning and disinfecting processes at our facilities, adhering to social distancing protocols, suspending non-essential air travel and encouraging employees to work remotely, when possible.
The Company recorded a decrease in revenue compared against the corresponding prior year quarter which we attribute primarily to the backlog delivery schedule and the Cyclical Downturn in economic activity in the railcar industry which began prior to the pandemic. The Cyclical Downturn has intensified as a result of the COVID-19. As discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources, if the pandemic continues, it may have a material negative impact on our business financially and or operationally.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2019
Revenues
Our consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $17.5 million compared to $73.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Manufacturing segment revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $15.2 million compared to $70.8 million for the corresponding prior year quarter. Corporate and Other revenues were $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, largely reflecting lower parts sales driven by soft industry demand. The $55.6 million decrease in Manufacturing segment revenues was largely driven by a decline in the volume of railcar units delivered ($59.7 million), the impact of which was partially offset by an increase of $4.3 million due to combined impact of pricing increases and a higher mix of new versus rebuilt cars. Railcar deliveries totaled 100 units for the second quarter of 2020, all of which were new railcars, compared to 729 units, consisting of 478 new railcars and 251 rebuilt railcars, in the second quarter of 2019. Although the backlog as of March 31, 2020 ($206.0 million) was higher than the backlog as of March 31, 2019 ($151.9 million), railcar deliveries decreased in the current year quarter as a function of the Cyclical Downturn and the 2020 delivery schedule that is heavily weighted towards the last half of 2020, and is defined by the delivery terms of our customers. The Company anticipates that between 750 to 1,000 cars will be delivered to customers in the second half of 2020. The 2019 delivery schedule was more heavily weighted to the first half of the year. Further impacting our deliveries, are build inefficiencies related to the initial production of two orders received in late 2019, due in part to the closure of the Shoals plant during the first week of the quarter due to COVID-19.
Gross Profit (Loss)
Our consolidated gross loss was $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to gross profit of $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Manufacturing segment gross loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $6.4 million compared to gross profit of $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in gross profit for our Manufacturing segment for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to unabsorbed costs due to significantly lower volume coupled with inefficiencies related to the beginning of production of certain railcar types in 2020 and the positive impact in 2019 gross profit related to the resolution of a previous year’s product claim ($3.5 million).
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $6.5 million compared to $15.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for
the three months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to $7.5 million recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2019 as part of a settlement agreement reached with one of our customers to settle all claims related to a commercial dispute. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 also included decreases in compensation expense of $1.1 million resulting from cost savings initiatives and certain key employees having left the Company. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses were relatively stable for the three months ended June 30, 2020 at $1.7 million compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $13.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, the decrease primarily due to the $7.5 million settlement recorded in the 2019 period and the aforementioned decreases in compensation expense.
Loss on Sale of Railcars Available for Lease
We did not sell any railcars available for lease during the three months ended June 30, 2020. Loss on sale of railcars available for lease for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $5.2 million and represented the loss on sale of leased railcars with a net book value of $16.6 million.
Restructuring and Impairment Charges
On July 22, 2019, we announced our intention to close our Roanoke, Virginia manufacturing facility as part of our “Back to Basics” strategy. We ceased operations at the facility as of November 29, 2019. We terminated our leases for the facility effective as of March 31, 2020. Restructuring and impairment charges of $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily represented costs to vacate the leased property and equipment abandonment, relocation or removal costs. Restructuring and impairment charges of $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 represented non-cash impairment charges for property, plant and equipment at our Roanoke facility.
Operating Loss
Our consolidated operating loss for the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $12.9 million compared to $15.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Operating loss for the Manufacturing segment was $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 reflecting the $12.1 million deterioration in Manufacturing segment gross loss described above, which was partially offset by the decreases in the loss on sale of railcars available for lease ($5.2 million) and restructuring and impairment charges ($1.0 million) compared to the 2019 period. Corporate and Other operating loss was $4.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the previously described $7.5 million settlement recorded in the 2019 period coupled with decreases in compensation expense.
Income Taxes
Due to current market conditions, we are unable to make a reliable estimate of our full year effective tax rate as of June 30, 2020 and have used our actual year to date effective tax rate when calculating our tax benefit for the three months ended June 30, 2020. As a result of additional valuation allowance recorded for each of the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, our income tax benefit or provision for each of the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was close to zero.
Net Loss Attributable to FreightCar America
As a result of the changes and results discussed above, net loss attributable to FreightCar America was $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $15.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to FreightCar America was $0.97 compared to $1.26 for the three months ended June 30, 2019. We will continue to monitor business conditions and implement appropriate operational and financial actions as necessary.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
Revenues
Our consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $22.7 million compared to $144.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Manufacturing segment revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $18.1 million compared to $138.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Corporate and Other revenues were $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, largely reflecting lower parts sales driven by soft industry demand.
The $121.7 million decrease in Manufacturing segment revenues for the 2020 period compared to the 2019 period was largely driven by a decline in the volume of railcar units delivered ($124.2 million), the impact of which was partially offset by an increase of $4.3 million due to combined impact of pricing increases and a higher mix of new versus rebuilt cars. Railcar deliveries totaled 111 units, all of which were new railcars, in the first half of 2020, compared to 1,370 units, consisting of 1,119 new railcars and 251 rebuilt railcars, in the first half of 2019. Although the backlog as of December 31, 2019 ($206.0 million) was higher than the backlog as of December 31, 2018 ($160.2 million), railcar deliveries decreased in the current year period primarily due to the Cyclical Downturn and as a function of the 2020 delivery schedule that is heavily weighted towards the last half of 2020, as defined by the delivery terms of our customers. The Company anticipates that between 750 to 1,000 cars will be delivered to customers in the second half of 2020. The 2019 delivery schedule was more heavily weighted to the first half of the year. Further impacting our deliveries, are build inefficiencies related to the initial production of two orders received in late 2019, due in part to the closure of the Shoals plant during the first week of the quarter due to COVID-19.
Gross Profit (Loss)
Our consolidated gross loss was $14.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Manufacturing segment gross loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $15.7 million compared to $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in gross profit for our Manufacturing segment for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to unabsorbed costs due to significantly lower volume, inefficiencies related to line-changeovers and the beginning of production of certain railcar types in 2020 and the positive impact in 2019 gross profit related to the resolution of a previous year’s product claim ($3.5 million). Corporate and Other gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $0.8 million compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, largely reflecting lower parts sales driven by soft industry demand.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $13.9 million compared to $23.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease in consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to $7.5 million recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2019 as part of a settlement agreement reached with one of our customers to settle all claims related to a commercial dispute. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 also included decreases in compensation expense of $1.5 million resulting from cost savings initiatives and certain key employees having left the Company. Manufacturing segment selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $3.3 million compared to $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 reflecting decreases in allocated costs and professional fees that were partially offset by increases in the provision for doubtful accounts and bank charges. Corporate and Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, the decrease primarily due to the $7.5 million settlement recorded in the 2019 period and the aforementioned decreases in compensation expense.
Loss on Sale of Railcars Available for Lease
We did not sell any railcars available for lease during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Loss on sale of railcars available for lease for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $5.2 million and represented the loss on sale of leased railcars with a net book value of $16.6 million.
Restructuring and Impairment Charges
Restructuring and impairment charges of $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily represented costs to vacate the leased Roanoke property, equipment relocation or removal and liquidation of assets that were not able to be sold or were sold at less than anticipated liquidation values. Restructuring charges of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 represented impairment charges for property, plant and equipment at our Roanoke facility.
Operating Loss
Our consolidated operating loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $30.0 million compared to $30.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Operating loss for the Manufacturing segment was $20.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 reflecting the increase in Manufacturing segment gross loss described above, which was partially offset by the loss on sale of railcars available for lease included in the 2019 period. Corporate and Other operating loss was $9.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, primarily due to the previously described $7.5 million settlement recorded in the 2019 period and decreases in compensation expense.
Income Taxes
Our income tax benefit was $0.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Due to current market conditions, we are unable to make a reliable estimate of our full year effective tax rate as of June 30, 2020 and have used our actual year to date effective tax rate when calculating our tax benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was 0% compared to 0.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Net Loss Attributable to FreightCar America
As a result of the changes and results discussed above, net loss attributable to FreightCar America was $29.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $29.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash and cash equivalent balances on hand and our credit and debt facilities outlined below.
The Company manufactures and provides essential products and services to a variety of critical infrastructure customers, and it intends to continue providing its products and services to these customers. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related actions taken by the U.S. and Mexico governments, state and local government officials, and other international governments to prevent disease spread, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Accordingly, our ability to predict industry demand and establish forecasts for sales, operating results and cash flows may be impacted.
On March 25, 2020, the United States enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) which, among other things, removed the 80% taxable income limitation for utilization of net operating losses generated in tax years 2018 through 2020, allowing for 5-year net operating loss carrybacks, increased the adjusted taxable income limitation for the disallowance of interest expense from 30% to 50%, and provided for refunds of any remaining alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credits. As a result of the CARES Act, the Company has a total of $1.0 million of AMT refunds in income tax receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to the AMT refund that was received in July 2020.
On April 16, 2020, the Company received a loan of approximately $10.0 million (the “PPP Loan”) from BMO Harris Bank N.A., (“BMO”), pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program of the CARES Act. BMO is also the lender under the BMO Credit Agreement defined below. The Company intends to use all proceeds from the PPP Loan to retain employees, maintain payroll and make lease and utility payments to support business continuity throughout the COVID-19 pandemic; therefore, management anticipates that the majority of the PPP Loan will be forgiven. To the extent it is not forgiven, the Company would be required to repay that portion at an interest rate of 1% over a period of two years, beginning in early 2021 with a final installment in April 2022. On April 14, 2020, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers and guarantors, and BMO, amended the BMO Credit Agreement to add CARES Act covenants related to the PPP Loan.
On April 12, 2019, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “BMO Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, as borrowers and guarantors (together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), and BMO Harris Bank N.A., as lender (“BMO”). On February 21, 2020, the Borrowers and BMO amended the BMO Credit Agreement, to, among other things, increase the borrowing base during the period commencing February 21, 2020 until May 15, 2020 by the lesser of (i) 100% of qualified unrestricted cash and (ii) $4 million. As of June 30, 2020, we had no borrowings under the BMO credit facility and we had $10.2 million available for borrowing under the BMO credit facility. We have a $4 million letter of credit outstanding under the letter of credit sub-facility of the BMO Credit Agreement. See Note 10 – Debt Financing and
Revolving Credit Facilities.
On April 16, 2019, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a credit agreement (the “M&T Credit Agreement”) with M&T Bank N.A. As of June 30, 2020, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC had $10.2 million in outstanding debt under the M&T Credit Agreement, which was collateralized by leased railcars with a carrying value of $16.3 million. See Note 10 – Debt Financing and Revolving Credit Facilities.
On August 7, 2020, FreightCar America Leasing 1, LLC (the “Leasing Company”) received notice (the “Notice”) from M&T Bank that, based on an appraisal (the “Appraisal”) conducted by a third party at the request of M&T Bank with respect to the railcars in the Leasing Company’s Borrowing Base under the M&T Credit Agreement, the unpaid principal balance under the M&T Credit Agreement exceeded the availability under the M&T Credit Agreement as of the date of the Appraisal by $5.1 million (the “Payment
Demand Amount”). In the Notice, M&T Bank has: (a) asserted that an Event of Default under the M&T Credit Agreement has occurred because the Leasing Company did not pay the Payment Demand Amount to M&T Bank within five days of the asserted change in availability; (b) demanded payment of the amount within five days of the date of the Notice; and (c) terminated the commitment to advance additional loans under the M&T Credit Agreement. The Leasing Company does not believe that an Event of Default has occurred and is contesting M&T Bank’s assertion. The Leasing Company has contacted M&T Bank with a demand to withdraw the Notice.
Our restricted cash, restricted cash equivalents and restricted certificates of deposit balances were $17.9 million and $4.2 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Restricted deposits of $13.7 million as of June 30, 2020 relate to a customer deposit for purchase of railcars. Restricted deposits of $4.2 million as of each of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are used to collateralize standby letters of credit with respect to performance guarantees and to support our workers’ compensation insurance claims. The standby letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2020 are scheduled to expire at various dates through February 1, 2021.
Based on our current level of operations and known changes in planned volume based on our backlog, we believe that our cash balances will be sufficient to meet our expected short-term liquidity needs. Our long-term liquidity is contingent upon future operating performance and our ability to continue to meet financial covenants under our revolving credit facilities and the PPP loan and any other indebtedness and the availability of additional financing if needed. We may also require additional capital in the future to fund working capital as demand for railcars increases, payments for contractual obligations, organic growth opportunities, including new plant and equipment and development of railcars, joint ventures, international expansion and acquisitions, and these capital requirements could be substantial.
Based upon our operating performance and capital requirements, we may, from time to time, be required to raise additional funds through additional offerings of our common stock and through long-term borrowings. There can be no assurance that long-term debt, if needed, will be available on terms attractive to us, or at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may be dilutive to stockholders and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants. Our failure to raise capital if and when needed could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Operating Activities. Our net cash provided by or used in operating activities reflects net loss adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Cash flows from operating activities are affected by several factors, including fluctuations in business volume, contract terms for billings and collections, the timing of collections on our contract receivables, processing of bi-weekly payroll and associated taxes, payments to our suppliers and other operating activities. As some of our customers accept delivery of new railcars in train-set quantities, variations in our sales lead to significant fluctuations in our operating profits and cash from operating activities. We do not usually experience business credit issues, although a payment may be delayed pending completion of closing documentation.
Our net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $20.8 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Our net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 reflects our net loss and changes in working capital, including increases in inventory of $27.1 million which were offset by increases in customer deposits of $27.9 million. Our net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 reflects changes in working capital, including decreases in inventory and accounts receivable due to the timing of deliveries of railcars and the related cash receipts.
Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $6.9 million, consisting primarily of capital expenditures of $7.0 million, largely related to the construction in progress for our Mexico operations. Net cash provided by
investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $30.7 million, consisting of the $18.0 million maturity of U.S. Treasury securities and certificates of deposit (net of purchases), $11.4 million of proceeds from sale of railcars available for lease and the $3.3 million maturity of restricted certificates of deposit (net of purchases) which were partially offset by the $2.0 million cost of property, plant and equipment.
Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 consisted of PPP loan proceeds. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 represented M&T loan proceeds of $10.2 million which were partially offset by deferred financing costs of $0.9 million, related to our credit facilities.
Capital Expenditures
Our capital expenditures were $7.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, largely related to the construction in progress for our Mexico operations, compared to $2.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. We anticipate the remaining capital expenditures during 2020 to be in the range of $2 million to $4 million, also primarily related to the construction of our Mexico facility. Our total obligations under our Mexico joint venture agreement are up to $25.0 million over several years through a combination of assets and cash of which $7.1 million has been advanced as of June 30, 2020, leaving up to $17.9 million of remaining obligations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, our management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our non-production employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the impact of COVID-19 on our internal control over financial reporting to minimize the impact on its design and operating effectiveness.
