Note 1. General

Business Description

Tecnoglass Inc. (“TGI,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on September 21, 2011 under the name “Andina Acquisition Corporation” (“Andina”) as a blank check company. Andina’s objective was to acquire, through a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination, one or more operating businesses. On December 20, 2013, Andina consummated a merger transaction (the “Merger”) with Tecno Corporation (“Tecnoglass Holding”) as ultimate parent of Tecnoglass S.A. (“TG”) and C.I. Energía Solar S.A. ES. Windows (“ES”). The surviving entity was renamed Tecnoglass Inc. The Merger transaction was accounted for as a reverse merger and recapitalization where Tecnoglass Holding was the acquirer and TGI was the acquired company. Accordingly, the business of Tecnoglass Holding and its subsidiaries became our business. We are now a holding company operating through our direct and indirect subsidiaries.

The Company manufactures hi-specification, architectural glass and windows for the global residential and commercial construction industries. Currently the Company offers design, production, marketing, and installation of architectural systems for buildings of high, medium and low elevation size. Products include windows and doors in glass and aluminum, office partitions and interior divisions, floating façades and commercial window showcases. The Company sells to customers in North, Central and South America, and exports more than half of its production to foreign countries.

TG manufactures both glass and aluminum products. Its glass products include tempered glass, laminated glass, thermo-acoustic glass, curved glass, silk-screened glass, acoustic glass and digital print glass. Its Alutions plant produces mill finished, anodized, painted aluminum profiles and rods, tubes, bars and plates. Alutions’ operations include extrusion, smelting, painting and anodizing processes, and exporting, importing and marketing aluminum products.

ES designs, manufactures, markets and installs architectural systems for high, medium and low-rise construction, glass and aluminum windows and doors, office dividers and interiors, floating facades and commercial display windows.

In 2014, the Company established two Florida limited liability companies, Tecnoglass LLC (“Tecno LLC”) and Tecnoglass RE LLC (“Tecno RE”) to acquire manufacturing facilities, manufacturing machinery and equipment, customer lists and exclusive design permits. 

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the SEC. The results reported in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by US GAAP.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of TGI, its indirect wholly owned subsidiaries TG and ES, and its direct subsidiaries Tecno LLC and Tecno RE. Material intercompany accounts, transactions and profits are eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting purposes.

The preparation of these unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Estimates inherent in the preparation of these, consolidated financial statements relate to the collectability of account receivables, the valuation of inventories, estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts, useful lives and potential impairment of long-lived assets, and valuation of warrants and other derivative financial instruments. Based on information known before these unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued, there are no estimates included in these statements for which it is reasonably possible that the estimate will change in the near term up to one year from the date of these financial statements and the effect of the change will be material, except for earnout share liability and warrant liability further discussed below in this note and Notes 11 and 12, respectively. These financial statements reflect all adjustments that in the opinion of management are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the period presented.

Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Foreign Currency Translation

The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, the reporting currency. Our foreign subsidiaries’ local currency is the Colombian Peso, which is also their functional currency as determined by the analysis of markets, costs and expenses, assets, liabilities, financing and cash flow indicators. As such, our subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date, with equity being translated at the historical rates. Revenues and expenses of our foreign subsidiaries are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments from this process are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Therefore, the U.S. Dollar value of these items in our financial statements fluctuates from period to period.

Also, exchange gains and losses arising from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated statement of operations as foreign exchange gains and losses within non-operating income, net.

Revenue Recognition

Our principal sources of revenue are derived from product sales of manufactured glass and aluminum products. Revenue is recognized when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists in the form of a signed purchase order or contract, (ii) delivery has occurred per contracted terms, (iii) fees and prices are fixed and determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sale is reasonably assured. All revenue is recognized net of discounts, returns and allowances. Delivery to the customer is deemed to have occurred when the title is passed to the customer. Generally, title passes to the customer upon shipment, but title transfer may occur when the customer receives the product based on the terms of the agreement with the customer.

Revenues from fixed price contracts, which amount to approximately 17% of the Company’s sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to total estimated costs for each contract. Revenues recognized in advance of amounts billable pursuant to contracts terms are recorded as unbilled receivables on uncompleted contracts based on work performed and costs to date. Unbilled receivables on uncompleted contracts are billable upon various events, including the attainment of performance milestones, delivery and installation of products, or completion of the contract. Revisions to cost estimates as contracts progress have the effect of increasing or decreasing expected profits each period. Changes in contract estimates occur for a variety of reasons, including changes in contract scope, estimated revenue and estimated costs to complete. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in contract performance and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined and have not had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Significant improvements and renewals that extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized. Interest caused while acquired property is under construction and installation are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any related gains or losses are included in income as a reduction to, or increase in selling, general and administrative expenses. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis, based on the following estimated useful lives:

Earnout shares liability

In accordance with ASC 815 – Derivatives and hedging, the Company’s EBITDA/Ordinary Share Price Shares (“Earnout Shares”) are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and therefore are accounted for as a liability with fair value changes being recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and adjusted at each reporting period until released or until the expiration of the liability in December 31, 2016 under the governing agreement, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.

When the earnout shares are released from the escrow account upon achievement of the conditions set forth in the earnout share agreement, the Company records the fair value of the released shares out of the earnout share liability and into common stock and additional paid-in capital within the shareholders equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Warrant liability

The Company accounts for the warrants against its ordinary shares as a derivative liability. The Company classifies the warrant instrument as a liability at its fair value because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment under guidance contained in ASC 815-40-15-7D. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and adjusted at each reporting period until the warrants are exercised by warrant holder or they expire, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The Company determines the fair value of warrant liability at each reporting period using the Binomial Lattice options pricing model. In general, the inputs used are unobservable and the fair value measurement of the warrant liability is classified as a Level 3 measurement under guidance for fair value measurements hierarchy of categorization to reflect the level of judgment and observability of the inputs involved in estimating fair values. Refer to Note 12 for additional details about the Company’s warrants.

When the warrants are exercised for ordinary shares, the Company remeasures the fair value of the exercised warrants as of the date of exercise using available fair value methods and records the change in fair value from the last reporting date to the date of exercise in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the exercised warrants on the date of exercise is recorded as a charge to additional paid-in capital in shareholders equity.

Income Taxes

The Company’s operations in Colombia are subject to the taxing jurisdiction of the Republic of Colombia. Tecnoglass LLC and Tecnoglass RE LLC are subject to the taxing jurisdiction of the United States. TGI and Tecnoglass Holding are subject to the taxing jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected impact of differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax losses and tax credit carry forwards if any.

The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions used in its tax filings would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material changes to its financial position.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Income per share assuming dilution (diluted earnings per share) would give effect to dilutive options, warrants, and other potential ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. The Company considered the dilutive effect of warrants to purchase ordinary shares, unit purchase options exercisable into ordinary shares, and shares issuable under the earnout agreement in the calculation of diluted income per share, which resulted in 2,421,017 and 3,313,119 shares of dilutive securities for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The following table sets forth the computation of the basic and diluted earnings per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

Product Warranties

The Company offers product warranties in connection with the sale and installation of its products that are competitive in the markets in which the products are sold. Standard warranties depend upon the product and service, and are generally from five to ten years for architectural glass, curtain wall, laminated and tempered glass, window and door products. Warranties are not priced or sold separately and do not provide the customer with services or coverages in addition to the assurance that the product complies with original agreed-upon specifications. Claims are settled by replacement of the warrantied products. The Company evaluated historical information regarding claims for replacements under warranties and concluded that the costs that the Company have incurred in relation to these warranties have not been material.

Non-Operating Income, net

The Company recognizes non -operating income from foreign currency transaction gains and losses, interest income on receivables, proceeds from sales of scrap materials and other activities not related to the Company’s operations. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses occur when monetary assets, liabilities, payments and receipts that are denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency are recorded in the Colombian peso accounts of the Company in Columbia. The Company recorded a net loss of $1,257 due to foreign currency transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with a net gain of $3,361 during the same period of 2015.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company classifies amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling as product revenues. The Company records and presents shipping and handling costs in selling expenses. Shipping and handling costs for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $2,930 and $2,248, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Deferral of the Effective Date.” ASU 2015-14 defers the effective date of Update 2014-09 for all entities by one year. Early adoption is permitted. Below is the description of ASU 2014-09 which the Company is currently evaluating.

In September 25, 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments”, that eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments. The new guidance requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. Early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2015-16.

On February 25, 2016, the FASB released ASU 2016-02, “Leases – ASC 842”, completing its project to overhaul lease accounting under ASC 840. The new guidance requires the recognition of most leases on its balance sheet. Also, a modified retrospective transition will be required, although there are significant elective transition reliefs available for both lessors and lessees. This standard is effective for public companies in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of analyzing the new standard.

Note 3. - Investments 

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had a 180 day term cash deposit for $25,000 resulting from a transaction made in February 2016, in which the Company entered into a Colombian Peso denominated credit facility for an equivalent amount of $25 million, and immediately placed it in a 180 day term cash deposit in U.S Dollars with the objective of hedging its monetary assets’ and liabilities’ foreign currency exposure risk. This facility will be repaid with the cash from the deposit upon maturity.

Note 4. - Inventories, net

Inventories are comprised of the following:

Note 5. Other Current Assets and Other Long Term Assets

Other current assets are comprised of the following:

Other long term assets are comprised of the following:

Intangible assets are comprised of Miami-Dade County Notices of Acceptance (“NOAs”), The weighted average amortization period is 10 years.

Note 6. Property, Plant and Equipment, Net

Property, plant and equipment consist of the following:

Depreciation and amortization expense, inclusive of capital lease amortization, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 amounted to $2,676 and $1,982, respectively.

Note 7. Debt

At March 31, 2016, the Company owed $186,859 under its various borrowing arrangements with several banks in Colombia, Panama, the United States and including obligations under various capital leases. The bank obligations have maturities ranging from six months to 15 years that bear interest at rates ranging from 2.3% to 18.3%. These loans are generally secured by substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable and / or inventory. Certain obligations include covenants and events of default including requirements that the Company maintain a minimum debt to EBITDA ratio, a minimum debt service ratio, total debt to total assets ratio and sales growth ratios.

The mortgage loan with TD Bank secured by Tecno RE in December 2014 to finance the acquisition of real property in Miami-Dade County, Florida contained a covenant requiring a 1.0:1 debt service coverage ratio measured on an annual basis. At December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, the Company did not meet the required covenant and received a waiver from TD Bank to defer testing of the covenant until December 31, 2016 with no other remedy or conditions imposed.

Maturities of long term debt and other current borrowings are as follows as of March 31, 2016:

The Company had $13,306 and $8,524 of real property, plant and equipment pledged to secure $ 68,447 and $48,056 under various lines of credit as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

On January 7, 2016, we entered into a $109.5 million, seven-year senior secured credit facility. Proceeds from the new facility were used to refinance $83.5 million of existing debt, with the remaining $26.0 million available to the Company for capital expenditures and working capital needs. Approximately $51.6 million of the new facility were used to refinance current borrowings into long term debt. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 reflects the effect of this refinance of the Company’s current portion of long term debt and other current borrowings into long term debt based on the Company’s intent as of that date. The new facility features two tranches, including one tranche denominated in USD representing 71% of the facility and another tranche denominated in Colombian Pesos (COP) representing the remaining 29%. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest at a weighted average interest rate of 7% for the first year, and thereafter at a rate of LIBOR plus 5.25% and DTF (Colombian index) plus 5.00% for the respective USD and COP denominated tranches.

In February 2016, the Company entered into a Colombian Peso denominated credit facility for an equivalent amount of $ 25 million, and immediately placed it in a 180 day term cash deposit in U.S Dollars with the objective of hedging its monetary assets’ and liabilities’ foreign currency exposure risk. Additionally, the Company entered into a short term facility for approximately $6 million to cover specific seasonal working capital needs which will be repaid out of our cash flow from operations.

Regarding its short term debt, the Company is expected to use the proceeds from its aforementioned $25 million short term deposit to cancel the equivalent in Peso denominated debt in July, 2016. The remaining short term debt is expected to be repaid with the projected cash flow from operations or refinanced by longer term facilities available to the Company.

Revolving Lines of Credit

The Company has approximately $3.7 million available in two lines of credit under a revolving note arrangement as of March 31, 2016. The floating interest rates on the revolving notes are between DTF+4.2% and DTF+6%. DTF, the primary measure of interest rates in Colombia, was 6.4% and 5.2% as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, $9,487 and $4,640 was outstanding under these lines, respectively.

Proceeds from debt and repayments of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

The Company acquired assets under capital leases and debt during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 for $6,883 and $9,100, respectively.

Interest expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $3,124 and $2,152, respectively.

Note 8. Income Taxes

The Company files income tax returns for TG and ES in the Republic of Colombia. Colombia’s Tax Statute was reformed in December 2014. A general corporate income Tax Rate applies at 25% and a CREE Tax based on taxable income applies at a rate of 9% to certain taxpayers including the Company. Prior to the reform, the CREE Tax would only apply up to tax years 2015. The reform makes the CREE tax rate of 9% permanent and an additional CREE Surtax will apply for the years 2015 through 2018 at varying rates. 

The following table summarizes income tax rates under the tax reform law:

The components of income tax expense (benefit) are as follows:

The Company's effective tax rates for the three-month periods ended March 31,2016 and 2015 reflect the non-cash, non-deductible losses and non-taxable gains from changes in the fair values of the Company’s warrant and earnout shares liabilities in the table below:

In addition, the Company’s statutory tax rate increased from 39% in 2015 to 40% in 2016 because of the tax reform mentioned above.

Note 9. Fair Value Measurements

The Company accounts for financial assets and liabilities in accordance with accounting standards that define fair value and establish a framework for measuring fair value. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined by the lowest level inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement. 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis at March 31, 2016:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis at December 31, 2015:

As of December 31, 2015, financial instruments carried at amortized cost that do not approximate fair value consist of long-term debt. See Note 7 – Debt. The fair value of long term debt was calculated based on an analysis of future cash flows discounted with our average cost of debt which is based on market rates, which are level 2 inputs.

The following table summarizes the fair value and carrying amounts of our long term debt:

Note 10. Segment and Geographic Information

The Company operates a single segment business for product consisting of four geographical sales territories as follows:

Note 11. Earnout Share Liability

The earnout shares liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the shares are released or until the expiration of the liability at December 31, 2016 under the governing agreement, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. The earnout shares are expected to be released in up to ten business days from the date the Company files its Annual Report with the SEC

When the earnout shares are released from the escrow account upon achievement of the conditions set forth in the earnout share agreement, the Company records the fair value of the released shares out of the earnout share liability and into common stock and additional paid-in capital within the shareholders equity section of the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company determines the fair value of the earnout share liability using a Monte Carlo simulation, which models future EBITDA and ordinary share stock prices during the earn-out period using the Geometric Brownian Motion. This model is dependent upon several variables such as the earnout share agreement’s expected term, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected term, the equity volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected term, the asset volatility, and the Company’s forecasted EBITDA. The expected term represents the period of time that the earnout shares agreement is expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rates are based on U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities as the expected term of the earnout share agreement at the date of valuation. The Company measures volatility using a blended weighted average of the volatility rates for a number of similar publicly-traded companies. The inputs to the model were stock price, risk-free rate, expected term and volatility. In general, the inputs used are unobservable; therefore unless indicated otherwise, the earnout share liability is classified as Level 3 under guidance for fair value measurements hierarchy.

The table below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the earnout shares liability measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

The main variable that affected the change in fair value of the earnout share liability was the stock price which declined from $13.74 to $12.65 as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively.

Note 12. Warrant Liability

The fair value of the warrant liability was determined by the Company using the Binomial Lattice pricing model. This model is dependent upon several variables such as the instrument’s expected term, expected strike price, expected risk-free interest rate over the expected instrument term, the expected dividend yield rate over the expected instrument term and the expected volatility of the Company’s stock price over the expected term. The expected term represents the period of time that the instruments granted are expected to be outstanding. The expected strike price is based upon a weighted average probability analysis of the strike price changes expected during the term as a result of the down round protection. The risk-free rates are based on U.S. Treasury securities with similar maturities as the expected terms of the options at the date of valuation. Expected dividend yield is based on historical trends. The Company measures volatility using a blended weighted average of the volatility rates for a number of similar publicly-traded companies. The inputs to the model were as follows:

The inputs to the model were as follows:

 *A quarterly dividend of $0.125 per share commencing in the second quarter of 2016 was assumed.

The table below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the warrant liability measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

The main variable that affected the change in fair value of the warrant liability was the stock price which declined from $13.74 to $12.65 as of December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2016, respectively.

The Company’s equity warrants are exercisable by the warrant holder in either of two modes: (i) by making a cash payment at the exercise price and receiving ordinary shares (“cash exercise”), or (ii) by applying a formula in the warrant agreement that is based on the market price of the shares on the NASDAQ market in order to receive ordinary shares for the warrant with no cash payment (“cashless exercise”).

When the warrants are exercised for ordinary shares, the Company re-measures the fair value of the exercised warrants as of the date of exercise using quoted prices on the OTC Pink Markets and records the change in fair value in the consolidated statement of operations, and records the fair value of the exercised warrants as additional paid-in capital in the shareholders equity section of the Company’s balance sheet.

Of 2,480,289 aggregate warrants exercised since the merger in December 2013, warrant holders exercised 102,570 warrants for an equal number of shares on a cash basis, and 2,377,719 warrants for 1,020,976 ordinary shares on a cashless basis.

Note 13. Related Parties

The Company’s major related party entities are: ESWindows LLC (“ESW LLC”), a Florida limited liability company partially owned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Ventanas Solar S.A. (“VS”), an importer and installer based in Panama owned by related party family members, and Union Temporal ESW (“UT ESW”), a temporary contractual joint venture under Colombian law with Ventanar S. A. managed by related parties that expires at the end of its applicable contracts.

The following is a summary of assets, liabilities, and income and expense transactions with all related parties, shareholders, directors and managers:

Due from other related parties as of March 31, 2016 includes $617 due from Daesmo, $654 from Consorcio Ventanar ESW – Boca Grande. Also included within due from other related parties is a loan to Finsocial, a company that makes loans to public school system teachers with balances were $266 and $256 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Payments to other related parties during the three month period ended March 31, 2016 include charitable contributions to the Company’s foundation for $332 and sales commissions for $246.

During 2015 and 2014, the Company and VS executed a short-term payment agreement and a three-year payment agreement that were mainly created to fund working capital to VS due the timing difference between the collections from VS’s customers. The interest rate of these payment agreements are Libor + 4.7% paid semiannually and Libor +6.5% paid monthly for the short-term agreement and the three-year agreement, respectively. The Company and VS subsequently normalized the short term agreement to pay the totality of the obligation by December of 2016.

In December 2014, ESW LLC, a related party, guaranteed a mortgage loan for $3,920 for the acquisition of real properties in Miami-Dade County, Florida by Tecnoglass RE LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Analysis of Variable Interest Entities

The Company conducted an evaluation as a reporting entity of its involvement with certain significant related party business entities as of March 31, 2016 in order to determine whether these entities were variable interest entities requiring consolidation or disclosures in the financial statements of the Company. The Company evaluated the purpose for which these entities were created and the nature of the risks in the entities as required by the guidance under ASC 810-10-25 - Consolidation and related Subsections.

From all the entities analyzed, only two entities, ESW LLC and VS, resulted in having variable interests.

Legal Matters

Tecnoglass S.A. and Tecnoglass USA, Inc., a related party, were named in a civil action for wrongful death, negligence and negligent infliction of emotional distress arising out of a workplace accident where a crate of glass fell and fatally crushed a worker during the unloading process. TG denied liability and rigorously defended the claim in court. TG’s insurance carrier provided coverage to TG under a $3.0 million wasting policy, which meant that the attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred during the defense of the claim reduced the amount of coverage available. On October 1, 2014 the case was settled. The plaintiffs accepted $1,075, with a payment time of 60 days. The Company’s insurance policy covered 90% of the loss.

C.I. Energia Solar S.A. filed a lawsuit against Bagatelos Arch Glass in Colombia for $1,560 and in March 2, 2016 also filed a lawsuit against Bagatelos Architectural Glass Systems, Inc (“Bagatelos”) in California. The Company’s claim arises from Bagatelos refusing to pay outstanding accounts with the Company alleging mounting damages in Company products that render them outside the terms of sale. The law suit was first filed in Colombia where the court is likely to have jurisdiction since Bagatelos travelled to the factory and inspected the products and fabrication. It is likely that a court in California shall recognize a foreign-country judgment and it is highly likely that the lawsuit filed in California will be placed on temporary hold until a final resolution in the Colombian lawsuit has been completed. Management and ES’ counsel believes that court is likely to rule in favor of the Company and the Company will be able to recover outstanding amount from Bagatelos.

General Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While management believes that such matters are currently not material, there can be no assurance that matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is, or could be, involved in litigation, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Note 17. Subsequent Events

Management concluded that no additional subsequent events required disclosure other than those disclosed in these financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. References to “we”, “us” or “our” are to Tecnoglass Inc. (formerly Andina Acquisition Corporation), except where the context requires otherwise. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Overview

The Company is a holding company operating through its indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries: TG, which manufactures, markets and exports a variety of glass products since 1994 and established the Alutions plant in 2007 for aluminum products, and ES, a leader in the production of high-end windows and architectural glass systems. We have more than 30 years’ experience in the glass and aluminum structure assembly market in Colombia.

The Company manufactures hi-specification, architectural glass and windows for the global residential and commercial construction industries. Currently the Company offers design, production, marketing, and installation of architectural systems for buildings of high, medium and low elevation size. Products include windows and doors in glass and aluminum, office partitions and interior divisions, floating façades and commercial window showcases. The Company sells to more than 800 customers in North, Central and South America, and exports more than half of its production to foreign countries.

In Panama, ES sells products primarily to companies participating in large construction projects in the higher income areas of the city. ES products were supplied in the Soho Plaza, a complex of a shopping mall and two skyscrapers that brought in approximately $18 million in revenues to the Company since the inception of the contract in 2012.

TG sells to its customers using several sales teams based out of Colombia to specifically target regional markets in South, Central and North America. In addition, TG has approximately ten free-lance sales representatives based in North America.

ES sells its products through four sales teams based out of Colombia, Peru, Panama and the US. The Colombia sales team is the largest sales group and has deep contacts throughout the construction industry, and markets ES’s products and installation services. The sales team in Peru is responsible for sales in South America excluding Colombia. Sales forces in Panama and the US are not through subsidiaries but arms-length agreements with sales representatives.

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $18.2 million and $18.5 million, respectively. The Company expects that cash flow from operations, proceeds from borrowings under the Company’s lines of credit, and the proceeds from the merger will be its primary sources of liquidity and will be sufficient to fund the Company’s cash requirements for the next twelve months.

On January 7, 2016, we entered into a $109.5 million, seven-year senior secured credit facility. Proceeds from the new facility were used to refinance $83.5 million of existing debt, with the remaining $26.0 million available to the Company for capital expenditures and working capital needs. Approximately $51.6 million of the new facility were used to refinance current borrowings into long term debt. The Company’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 reflects the effect of this refinance of the Company’s current portion of long term debt and other current borrowings into long term debt based on the Company’s intent as of that date. The new facility features two tranches, including one tranche denominated in USD representing 71% of the facility and another tranche denominated in Colombian Pesos (COP) representing the remaining 29%. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest at a weighted average interest rate of 7% for the first year, and thereafter at a rate of LIBOR plus 5.25% and DTF (Colombian index) plus 5.00% for the respective USD and COP denominated tranches.

Additionally, until the redemption of certain warrants and unit purchase options or their expiration in December 2016, we could receive up to $55.6 million from the exercise of warrants and unit purchase options comprised of: up to $33.5 million upon the exercise of all of the insider warrants and working capital warrants, up to $1.0 million upon the exercise of the unit purchase options, up to $0.8 million upon the exercise of the warrants underlying such unit purchase options and up to $20.3 million upon the exercise of the warrants issued in our IPO. As of March 31, 2015, 102,570 warrants have been exercised for proceeds of $0.8 million. During the three month period ended March 31, 2016 there were no warrants exercised for cash.

Capital Resources

New investments

During the quarter ended in March 31, 2016, the Company made significant capital expenditures of approximately $6.9 million. This includes approximately $2.5 million of construction of a new warehouse and improvements to the plant and office buildings and approximately $3.9 million in several pieces of machinery and equipment.

Results of Operations

Comparison of quarterly periods ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015

The Company’s net operating revenues increased $8.9 million or 17% from $52.0 million to $60.9 million for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2016 compared the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015.

Sales in the U.S. market for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2016 increased $5.5 million or 17 % compared to the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015. The Company’s sales in the American market continue to grow primarily in the South Florida region, where the Company has historically had a stronger presence as a supplier of windows and doors for high-rise buildings. Sales in the Colombian market increased $1.2 million, or 7% in spite of having grown 41% in terms of local currency but exchange rates were unfavorable during the period. Sales to Panama increased $1.4 million, from $1.5 million during the three months ended march 31, 2015 to $2.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Sales margins calculated by dividing the gross profit by operating revenues increased from 35.8 % to 38.1% in the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. We believe this is the result of a combination of favorable exchange rates for fixed costs in Colombian pesos, as well as a higher degree of vertical integration in which more Company products are used as raw materials to manufacture other finished goods. The amount of Company products used to manufacture other products increased from 25% of total consolidated sales during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015 to 33% during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2016.

Selling, general and administrative Expenses increased 10% from $10.6 million to $11.7 million, or in the quarterly period ended March 31, 2016 when compared to the quarterly period ended March 31, 2015. The increase was primarily the result of a $0.7 million increase in shipping expense as sales to distant markets increase, a $0.3 million increase in a Colombian tax on financial transactions associated in part with the disbursements and repayments of the syndicate loan mentioned above in the liquidity section of this discussion, and other smaller increases offset by small decreases, such as amortization expense, which decreased $0.3 due to some of the Company’s NOAs being fully amortized.

A non-cash, gain of $3.7 million arose from the decrease in the fair value of the earnout share liability in the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 amounting to $30.5 million which represents 8% of total assets, relative to its fair value at December 31, 2015, which amounted to $34.2 million, or 11% of total assets. The fair value of the warrants liability changes in response to market factors not directly controlled by the Company such as the market price of the Company’s shares and the volatility index of comparable companies. There are no income tax effects as the Company is registered in the Cayman Islands. See the footnotes to the financial statements

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 the company reported net non-operating loss of $0.7 million comprised of $0.7 million income from rental income, gain on sale of scrap materials and interest income offset by a net loss of $1.3 million in foreign currency transactions, compared with net non-operating income of $3.7 million during the same period of 2015, primarily comprised of net foreign currency transaction gains of $3.5 million.

An non-cash, non-operating gain of $5.9 million arose from the increase in the fair value of the warrant liability in the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 amounting to $25.1 million which represents 7% of total assets, relative to its fair value at December 31, 2015, which amounted to $31.2 million, or 10% of total assets.. The fair value of the warrants liability changes in response to market factors not directly controlled by the Company such as the market price of the Company’s shares and the volatility index of comparable companies. There are no income tax effects as the Company is registered in the Cayman Islands. See the footnotes to the financial statements.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company recorded a net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2016 of $13.7 million compared to net income of $11.9 million net in the three month period ended March 31, 2015.

During the three month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, $10.1 million and $5.3 million were used in and provided by operating activities, respectively. The principal use of cash was an increase in trade accounts receivable which increased to $9.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with a use of $5.1 million during the same period of 2015 as a result of higher sales and part of the Company’s strategy to increase sales, as well as purchase of inventories which have increased from $4.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $6.9 million during the same period of 2015 as the Company builds up inventories of raw materials for expected future sales.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, cash from investment activities increased to $23.4 million compared with $4.9 million during the same period of 2015 because the Company purchased a US Dollar denominated deposit for $25 million with a Colombian Peso denominated obligation to hedge foreign currency exposure of its monetary assets and liabilities. This transaction also contributed to the increase in cash provided by financing activities, which increased from $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 to $32.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

During the three months ended in March 31, 2016, the Company made capital expenditures for $6.9 million that were financed with bank loans and capital leases.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Tecnoglass, Inc. “disclosure controls and procedures” as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, because of certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 were not effective as of March 31, 2016. To address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting the Company performed additional manual procedures and analysis such as validation of sources of information that impact financial statements including revenue recognition, receivables, disbursements, reconciliation of accounting modules versus the general ledger, inventory count review and analysis, related party reconciliations, analytical reviews of property plant and equipment, gross margins, payroll and translation of financial statements into USGAAP and other post-closing procedures in order to prepare the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we believe that the consolidated financial statements contained in this report present our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods covered thereby in all material respects.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
