Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 — Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business — UFI Acquisition, Inc. (“UFI”), a Delaware corporation, was formed on January 14, 2013, for the purpose of acquiring Unique Fabricating, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Unique Fabricating”) (collectively, the “Company” or “Unique”) on March 18, 2013. The Company operates as one operating and reportable segment to fabricate and broker foam and rubber products, which are primarily sold to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and tiered suppliers in the automotive, appliance, water heater and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) industries. In September 2014, UFI changed its name to Unique Fabricating, Inc. which is now the parent company of the consolidated group. As a result of the name change, the subsidiary previously named Unique Fabricating, Inc. became Unique Fabricating NA, Inc.

Basis of Presentation — The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The information furnished in the consolidated financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of such financial statements. The interim results for the periods presented may not be indicative of the Company's actual annual results. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 30, 2018 included in Unique’s annual report on Form 10-K for such period.

Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries over which the Company exercises control. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Fiscal Years — The Company’s quarterly periods end on the Sunday closest to the end of the calendar quarterly period. For 2019, the quarterly and year to date period, which were 13 and 26 weeks, ended on June 30, 2019, and for 2018, the quarterly and year to date period, which were 13 and 26 weeks, ended on July 1, 2018. Fiscal year 2018 ended on Sunday, December 30, 2018.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable — Accounts receivable are stated at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is management’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the existing accounts receivable. Management determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and an understanding of individual customer payment history and financial condition. Management reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts at regular intervals. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when management determines it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $791,665 and $684,996 at June 30, 2019 and December 30, 2018, respectively.

Inventory — Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined on the first in, first out method (FIFO). Inventory acquired as part of a business combination is recorded at its estimated fair value at the time of the business combination. The Company periodically evaluates inventory for obsolescence, excess quantities, slow moving goods and other impairments of value and establishes reserves for any identified impairments.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets — The carrying value of long-lived assets held for use is periodically evaluated when events or circumstances warrant such a review. The carrying value of a long-lived asset held for use is considered impaired when the anticipated separately identifiable undiscounted cash flows from the asset are less than the carrying value of the asset. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived asset. The Company determined that no impairment indicators were present and all originally assigned useful lives remained appropriate during the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 and 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, respectively.

Property, Plant, and Equipment — Property, plant, and equipment purchases are recorded at cost. Property, plant, and equipment acquired as part of a business combination are recorded at estimated fair value at the time of the business combination. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of each asset. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the period of the related leases. Upon

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

retirement or disposal, the initial cost or valuation and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is included in net income. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Intangible Assets — The Company does not hold any intangible assets with indefinite lives. Identifiable intangible assets recognized as part of a business combination are recorded at their estimated fair value at the time of the business combination. Acquired intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight line basis, which approximates the pattern in which the economic benefit of the respective intangible is realized, over their respective estimated useful lives. Amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may be impaired. The remaining useful lives of intangible assets are reviewed to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. The Company determined that no impairment indicators were present and all originally assigned useful lives remained appropriate during the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 and 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, respectively.

Goodwill — Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition cost of consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from business combinations at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is assessed at least on an annual basis for impairment. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value is greater than the carrying value of a reporting unit then a qualitative assessment may be used for the annual impairment test. Otherwise, a one-step process is used which requires estimating the fair value of each reporting unit compared to its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, goodwill impairment will be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. The Company has one reporting unit and operating segment for goodwill testing purposes.

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company experienced a decline in market capitalization, which is a potential indicator of impairment. As a result, the Company performed an interim quantitative assessment as of June 30, 2019 , utilizing a combination of the income and market approaches, which were weighted evenly. The results of the quantitative analysis performed indicated the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded the fair value of the reporting unit as of June 30, 2019. A goodwill impairment charge of $6,760,397 and $6,760,397, was recognized during the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and no impairment charges recognized during the the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, respectively. Key assumptions used in the analysis were a discount rate of 12.5%, EBITDA margin and a terminal growth rate of 2.0%.

Debt Issuance Costs — Debt issuance costs represent legal, consulting, and other financial costs associated with debt financing and are reported netted against the related debt instrument. Amounts paid to or on behalf of lenders are presented as a debt discount and are also shown as a reduction of the associated debt instrument. Debt issuance costs on term debt are amortized using the straight line basis over the term of the related debt (which is immaterially different from the required effective interest method) while those related to revolving debt are amortized using a straight line basis over the term of the related debt.

At June 30, 2019 and December 30, 2018, debt issuance costs were $342,580 and $381,793, respectively, while amounts paid to or on behalf of lenders presented as debt discounts were $432,702 and $482,232, respectively. On November 8, 2018, the Company amended its current Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), which increased the Company's term loan debt and is further described in Note 6. The Company reviewed this amendment for extinguishment accounting and concluded that $59,110 of the remaining $172,600 debt issuance costs not amortized on the revolving debt facility qualified for extinguishment accounting and were recognized as a loss on extinguishment immediately. The remaining unamortized debt issuance costs not extinguished on the old revolving debt facility and all of the of remaining unamortized debt issuance costs on the term loans did not meet extinguishment accounting and therefore were carried forward to the new revolving debt facility and term loans.

Amortization expense of both debt issuance costs and debt discounts has been recognized as a component of interest expense in the amounts of $44,372 and $88,743 for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019, and $35,536 and $71,072 for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, respectively.

Investments — Investments in entities in which the Company has less than a 20 percent interest or is not able to exercise significant influence are carried at cost, as there is not a readily determined fair value for these investments. Dividends received are included in income, except for those dividends received in excess of the Company’s proportionate share of accumulated earnings, which are applied as a reduction of the cost of the investment. Impairment losses due to a decline in the value of the

investment that is other than temporary are recognized when incurred. No dividend income or impairment loss was recognized for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 and 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, respectively.

Accounts Payable — Under the Company’s cash management system, checks issued but not yet presented to the Company’s bank frequently result in overdraft balances for accounting purposes and are classified as accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets. Accounts payable included $2,245,872 and $1,802,712 of checks issued in excess of available cash balances at June 30, 2019 and December 30, 2018, respectively.

Stock Based Compensation — The Company accounts for its stock based compensation using the fair value of the award estimated at the grant date of the award. The Company estimates the fair value of awards, consisting of stock options, using the Black Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense is recognized in earnings using the straight line method over the vesting period, which represents the requisite service period.

Revenue Recognition — The following table presents the Company's net sales disaggregated by major sales channel for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019:



	Unique Fabricating, Inc. Consolidated
	Thirteen Weeks Ended June 30, 2019		Twenty-Six Weeks Ended June 30, 2019
Net Sales
Automotive	$	33,517,050	$	67,531,987
HVAC, water heater, and appliances	3,504,000		7,258,000
Other	1,868,000		3,566,000
Total	$	38,889,050	$	78,355,987

General Recognition Policy

Revenue is recognized by the Company once all performance obligations under the terms of a contract with the Company's customers are satisfied. Generally this occurs with the transfer of control of its automotive, HVAC, and other products. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring its products. The Company’s payment terms vary by the type and location of its customers and the products offered. The term between invoicing and when payment is due is not significant.

In general for sales arrangements, the Company deems control to transfer at a single point in time and recognizes revenue when it ships products from its manufacturing facilities to its customers. Once a product has shipped, the customer is able to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset. The Company considers control to transfer upon shipment because the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the customer has legal title to the asset, and the customer has significant risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections and payments results in billed accounts receivable. The Company does not have deferred revenue. Additionally, as noted above in the Accounts Receivable section, management reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts at regular intervals. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when management determines it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The allowance for doubtful account balances are noted above in the Accounts Receivable section.

Practical Expedients

The Company elects the practical expedient to expense costs incurred for costs to obtain a contract with a customer when the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs include sales commissions as the Company has determined annual compensation is commensurate with annual sales activities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

UNIQUE FABRICATING, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

The Company elects the practical expedient that does not require the Company to adjust consideration for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between shipment of its products and customer’s payment is one year or less.

Shipping and Handling — Shipping and handling costs are included in costs of sales as they are incurred.

Income Taxes — A current tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the period. Deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognized for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between financial reporting and tax accounting measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company also evaluates the need for valuation allowances to reduce the deferred tax assets to realizable amounts. Management evaluates all positive and negative evidence and uses judgment regarding past and future events, including operating results, to help determine when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. When appropriate, a valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets to reserve for future tax benefits that may not be realized.

The Company recognizes the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company assesses all tax positions for which the statute of limitations remain open. The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2019 and July 1, 2018. The Company recognizes any penalties and interest when necessary as income tax expense. There were no penalties or interest recorded during the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 or July 1, 2018.

Foreign Currency Adjustments — The Company’s functional currency for all operations worldwide is the United States dollar. Nonmonetary assets and liabilities of foreign operations are remeasured at historical rates and monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period. Income statement accounts are remeasured at average exchange rates for the year. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency financial statements into United States dollars are classified in other income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Concentration Risks — The Company is exposed to various significant concentration risks as follows:

Customer and Credit — During the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 and 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, the Company’s net sales were derived from customers principally engaged in the North American automotive industry. Company sales directly and indirectly to General Motors Company (GM), Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA), and Ford Motor Company (Ford) as a percentage of total net sales were: 17, 16, and 12 percent, respectively, during the thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2019; 18, 15, and 11 percent, respectively, during the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019; 13, 17, and 10 percent during the thirteen weeks ended July 1, 2018; and 13, 17, and 11 percent, respectively, during the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018. GM accounted for 10 and 10 percent of direct Company sales for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019, respectively. No customer represented more than 10 percent of direct Company sales for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018. GM accounted for more than 17 percent of direct accounts receivable as of June 30, 2019. GM accounted for 14 percent of direct accounts receivable as of December 30, 2018.

Labor Markets — At June 30, 2019, of the Company’s hourly plant employees working in the United States manufacturing facilities, 41 percent were covered under a collective bargaining agreement which expires in August 2019 while another 7 percent were covered under a separate collective bargaining agreement that expires in February 2020. The Company is currently engaged in negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement.

Foreign Currency Exchange — The expression of assets and liabilities in a currency other than the Company's functional currency, which is the United States dollar, gives rise to exchange gains and losses when such assets and obligations are paid in another currency. Foreign currency exchange rate adjustments (i.e., differences between amounts recorded and actual amounts owed or paid) are reported in the consolidated statements of operations as the foreign currency fluctuations occur. Foreign currency exchange rate adjustments are reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the cash flows. At June 30, 2019, the Company’s exposure to assets and liabilities denominated in another currency was not significant. To the extent there is a fluctuation in the exchange rates, the amount of local currency to be paid or received to satisfy foreign currency obligations in 2019 may increase or decrease.

International Operations — The Company manufactures and sells products outside of the United States primarily in Mexico and Canada. Foreign operations are subject to various political, economic and other risks and uncertainties inherent in foreign countries. Among other risks, the Company’s operations may be subject to the risks of: restrictions on transfers of funds; export duties, quotas, and embargoes; domestic and international customs and tariffs; changing taxation policies; foreign exchange restrictions; political conditions; and governmental regulations. During the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 and 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, 19, 19 , 17, and 17 percent, respectively, of the Company’s production occurred in Mexico. During the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 and 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, 8, 7, 10, and 10 percent, respectively, of the Company's production occurred in Canada. Sales derived from customers located in Mexico, Canada, and other foreign countries were 17, 10, and 1 percent, respectively, during the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019; 18, 10, and 1 percent, respectively, during the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019; 16, 10, and 2 percent, respectively, during the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018; and 16, 10, and 2 percent, respectively, during the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

Derivative Financial Instruments — All derivative instruments are required to be reported on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value unless the transactions qualify and are designated as normal purchases or sales. Changes in fair value are reported currently through earnings unless they meet hedge accounting criteria. See Note 7 for further information regarding the Company's derivative instrument makeup.

Use of Estimates — The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements —

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, Topic 606. This ASU superseded most of the existing guidance on revenue recognition in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and established a broad principle that would require an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the new accounting standard ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and all the related amendments to all contracts using the modified retrospective method in its first quarter of 2019. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company does not expect the adoption of Topic 606 to have a material impact to its net income on an ongoing basis. The Company did not record a cumulative adjustment related to the adoption of ASU 2014-09, and the effects of adoption were not significant.

In January 2016, the FASB issued guidance, together with related, subsequently issued guidance, that addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. Among other provisions, the guidance requires certain equity securities to be measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. For equity securities without readily determinable fair values, entities may elect to measure these securities at cost minus impairment, if any, adjusted for changes in observable prices. The guidance should be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet as of the beginning of the year of adoption, except for equity securities without readily determinable fair values, to which the guidance should be applied prospectively. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2018 and concluded this did not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. The Company does have a cost method investment in its consolidated financial statements, and there is not a readily determinable value for this investment.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which will supersede the current lease requirements in Topic 840. The ASU requires lessees to recognize a right of use asset and related lease liability for all leases, with a limited exception for short-term leases. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with the classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. Currently, leases are classified as either capital or operating, with only capital leases recognized on the balance sheet. The reporting of lease related expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows will be generally consistent with current guidance. The ASU is effective for the Company for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company believes the impact that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements will be to materially increase assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet, but it is not expected to materially impact the consolidated statements of operations.

Note 6 — Long-term Debt

Credit Agreement

On April 29, 2016, Unique Fabricating NA, Inc. (the “US Borrower”) and Unique-Intasco Canada, Inc. (the “CA Borrower”) and Citizens Bank, National Association (“Citizens”), acting as lender and Administrative Agent, and other lenders, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) providing for borrowings of up to the aggregate principal amount of $62.0 million. The Credit Agreement was a senior secured credit facility and consisted of a revolving line of credit of up to $30.0 million (the “Revolver”) to the US Borrower, a $17.0 million principal amount term loan (the “US Term Loan”) to the US Borrower, and a $15.0 million principal amount term loan (the “CA Term Loan”) to the CA Borrower. At Closing, the US Term Loan and the CA Term Loan were fully funded and the US Borrower borrowed approximately $22.9 million under the Revolver.

On August 18, 2017, the US Borrower and the CA Borrower entered into the Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, with Citizens acting as Administrative Agent, and other lenders. The Amendment converted $4.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolver into an additional $4.0 million term loan to the US Borrower (the “US Term Loan II”). The conversion of a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Revolver did not reduce the aggregate amount available to be borrowed under it.

On August 8, 2018, the US Borrower and the CA Borrower entered into the Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, with Citizens acting as Administrative Agent, and other lenders. The Fourth Amendment required the Company to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Ft. Smith, Arkansas building to reduce the outstanding borrowings under the Revolver. The application of the net proceeds did not permanently reduce the amounts that could be borrowed under the Revolver. The Fourth Amendment also eased, for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2018, the financial covenant ratio which determined the Company's ability to pay dividends.

On September 20, 2018, the US Borrower and the CA Borrower entered into the Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. The Fifth Amendment temporarily increased the maximum amount that could be borrowed under the Revolver to $32.5 million from its then maximum of $30.0 million. This increase implemented by the Fifth Amendment was effective until October 31, 2018, at which point the maximum amount that could be borrowed under the Revolver reverted back to $30.0 million and was replaced by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement described below.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On November 8, 2018, the US Borrower and the CA Borrower entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the existing Credit Agreement, with Citizens, acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which is a five year agreement, among other things, increased the principal amount of US Term Loan borrowings to $26.0 million, created a two year line to fund capital expenditures of up to $2.5 million through November 8, 2019 and $5.0 million thereafter through November 8, 2020, and extended the maturity dates of all borrowings from April 28, 2021 to November 7, 2023. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $30.0 million under the Revolver, subject to availability, and left the principal amount on the CA Term Loan at approximately $12.0 million, the same as it was under the previous Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement combined the previous US Term Loan and US Term Loan II (the “New US Term Loan”), and increased the aggregate principal amount to $26.0 million dollars from $15.9 million, in total, from the previous US Term Loan and Term Loan II. The increase in the principal amount effected by the New U.S. Term Loan replaced and termed-out outstanding borrowings under the Revolver. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement changes the quarterly principal payments of the New US Term Loan to $337,500 through September 30, 2020, $575,000 thereafter through September 30, 2021, and $812,500 thereafter though maturity. Finally, the agreement made certain changes to the Company's covenants and financial covenant ratios.

The Revolver, New US Term Loan, and CA Term Loan all mature on November 7, 2023 and bear interest at the Company's election of either (i) the greater of the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate (the “Base Rate”) or (ii) the LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 3.25% per annum in the case of the Base Rate and 2.75% to 4.25% per annum in the case of the LIBOR rate, in each case, based on senior leverage ratio thresholds, measured quarterly, as increased by the Waiver and Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which is further described below. The fair value of debt approximates book value based on the variable terms.

In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement allows for increases in the principal amount of the Revolver and the New US and CA Term Loans not to exceed a $10.0 million principal amount, in the aggregate, provided that before and after giving effect to the proposed increase (and any transactions to be consummated using proceeds of the increase), the total leverage and debt service coverage ratios do not exceed specified amounts. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a face amount of up to a $2.0 million, in the aggregate, provided that any letter of credit that is issued will reduce availability under the Revolver.

As of June 30, 2019, $15,956,136 was outstanding under the Revolver. This amount is gross of debt issuance costs which are further described in Note 1. The Revolver had an effective interest rate of 6.1885% percent per annum at June 30, 2019, and is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. At June 30, 2019, the maximum additional available borrowings under the Revolver were $13,943,864, which includes a reduction for a $100,000 letter of credit issued for the benefit of the landlord of one of the Company’s leased facilities. The maximum amount available to be borrowed under the Revolver is further subject to borrowing base restrictions.

Covenant Compliance

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary negative covenants and requires that the Company comply with various financial covenants, including a total leverage ratio and debt service coverage ratio, as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of December 30, 2018, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants. Additionally, the New US Term Loan and CA Term Loan each contains a clause, effective December 30, 2018, that requires an excess cash flow payment to be made to the lenders to reduce the New US Term Loan and CA Term Loan if the Company’s cash flow exceeds certain thresholds as defined by the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. No payments were required to be made in the periods presented above.

As of March 31, 2019, the Company was not in compliance with the total leverage ratio financial covenant. As a result of this non-compliance, on May 7, 2019, the US Borrower and the CA Borrower entered into the Waiver and First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with Citizens, acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The First Amendment temporarily waived the default on the March 31, 2019 covenant violation until the earlier of June 15, 2019 and the execution and delivery of a further amendment revising the calculation of the total leverage ratio and such other financial covenants as necessary taking into account the Borrowers current and future financial condition. As a result of this waiver, the lenders did not accelerate the maturity of the debt.

On June 14, 2019, the Company entered into the Waiver and Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with Citizens, acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The Second Amendment revised the waiver period as defined with respect to the March 31, 2019 covenant violation and resulting default until the earlier of June 30, 2019 (which was June 15, 2019 under the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) and the execution and delivery of a further amendment revising the calculation of the total leverage ratio and such other financial covenants as necessary taking into account the Borrowers current and future financial condition.

On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into the Waiver and Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with Citizens, acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The Third Amendment revised the waiver period as defined with respect to the March 31, 2019 covenant violation and resulting default until the earlier of July 22, 2019 (which was June 30, 2019 under the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) and the execution and delivery of a further amendment revising the calculation of the total leverage ratio and such other financial covenants as necessary taking into account the Borrowers current and future financial condition.

On July 16, 2019, the Company entered into the Waiver and Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with Citizens, acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The Fourth Amendment provided a permanent waiver by the Lenders and Agent with respect to the Borrower's non-compliance with the total leverage ratio financial covenant, as defined, not in excess of 3.50 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2019. The Fourth Amendment also revised the definition of consolidated EBITDA and certain financial covenants, including the maximum total leverage ratio and the minimum debt service coverage ratio, as well as adding the requirement that the Company maintain minimum liquidity and minimum unadjusted consolidated EBITDA, each as defined. The Fourth Amendment permits distributions as long as the Borrower is in compliance with specified conditions including that the Borrower's liquidity, as defined, is not less than $5 million after giving effect to the distribution, total leverage ratio is not more than 2.00 to 1.00, post distribution debt service coverage ratio ("DSCR"), as defined, is not greater than 1.10 to 1.00, and Borrower is in compliance with financial convenants, before and after giving effect to the distributions. The Company is compliant with the covenants set forth in the Waiver and Fourth Amendment as of June 30, 2019. The Company does not anticipate the payment of dividends in 2019.

Note 7 — Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Swap

The Company holds derivative financial instruments, in the form of an interest rate swap, as required by its Credit Agreement and Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, for the purpose of hedging certain identifiable transactions in order to mitigate risks relating to the variability of future earnings and cash flows caused by interest rate fluctuations. The Company has elected not to apply hedge accounting for financial reporting purposes. The interest rate swap is recognized in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at its fair value. Monthly settlement payments due on the interest rate swap and changes in its fair value are recognized currently in net income as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Effective June 30, 2016, as required under the Credit Agreement entered into during April 2016, the Company entered into an interest rate swap which requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of 1.055 percent per annum while receiving a variable rate per annum based on the one month LIBOR for a net monthly settlement based on the notional amount. The notional amount at the effective date was $16,681,250 which decreased by $318,750 each quarter until June 30, 2017, and thereafter decreased by $425,000 each quarter until June 29, 2018, when it began decreasing by $531,250 per quarter until it expired on June 28, 2019.

Effective October 2, 2017, as required under the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Company entered into another interest rate swap with requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of 1.093 percent per annum while receiving a variable interest rate per annum based on the one month LIBOR, for a net monthly settlement based on the notional amount in effect.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The notional amount at the effective date was $1,900,000 which decreases by $100,000 each quarter until it expires on September 30, 2020.

Effective November 30, 2018, as required under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company entered into another interest rate swap that requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of 3.075 percent per annum while receiving a variable interest rate per annum based on the one month LIBOR for a net monthly settlement based on the notional amount in effect. The notional amount at the effective date was $5,037,500 which increases by $378,125 each quarter until June 28, 2019 when the notional amount increases to $17,540,625 due to the interest rate swap from 2016 described above expiring. The notional amount then decreases each quarter by $153,125 until September 30, 2020 when the notional amount increases to $17,475,000 due to the interest rate swap from 2017 above expiring. The notional amount then decreases each quarter by $431,250 until December 31, 2021, then decreases each subsequent quarter by $609,375 until it expires on November 8, 2023

At June 30, 2019, the fair value of all swaps was in a net liability position of $957,125 and is included in other long term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The Company received $35,783 and $86,039 in the aggregate, in net monthly settlements with respect to the interest rate swaps for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019, respectively. At July 1, 2018, the fair value of the swaps was $184,418, and was included in other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company received $30,589 and $48,894 with respect to the interest rate swaps for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, respectively. Both the change in fair value and the monthly settlements were included in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Note 8 — Restructuring

Unique's restructuring activities are undertaken as necessary to implement management's strategy, streamline operations, take advantage of available capacity and resources, and achieve net cost reductions. The restructuring activities generally relate to realignment of existing manufacturing capacity and closure of facilities and other exit or disposal activities, either in the normal course of business or pursuant to specific restructuring programs.

2019 Restructuring

Evansville Restructuring

On July 16, 2019, subsequent to our second quarter-end, the Company made the decision to close its manufacturing facility in Evansville, Indiana. The Company currently expects to cease operations at the Evansville facility by the end of September 2019, and that approximately 53 positions will be eliminated as a result of the closure. The Company's decision resulted from its desire to streamline operations and to utilize some of the available excess capacity in other of our facilities.

The Company will move existing Evansville production to its manufacturing facilities in LaFayette, GA, Auburn Hills, MI, and Louisville, KY. The Company will provide the affected employees severance pay, health benefits continuation, and job search assistance. The Company evaluated whether or not this closing met the criteria for discontinued operations and concluded that the closing did not meet the definition as it did not represent a strategic shift in the Company's operations and the Company will have continuing cash flows from the production being moved to other facilities within the Company.

The Company expects to incur one-time severance costs as a result of this plant closure of approximately $309,000 during the remainder of 2019. The amount of other costs incurred associated with this plant closure, which will primarily consist of preparing and moving existing production equipment and inventory at Evansville to other facilities will be approximately $1,325,000 and early lease termination fees, will be approximately $1,200,000, during the remainder of 2019. The Company is actively pursing a sublease of the facility.

Salaried Restructuring

On July 30, 2019, subsequent to our quarter-end, our former President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (CEO), resigned as President of the board of directors. The Company did not incur any additional restructuring costs in connection with his resignation.

On May 6, 2019, the former President and CEO of the Company resigned by mutual agreement of both parties. The Company incurred one-time restructuring costs of $579,972 and $579,972 during the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019,

respectively, in connection with his resignation. Further charges expected to be incurred in 2019 subsequent to June 30, 2019 are expected to be immaterial.

On May 15, 2019 and February 1, 2019, the Company announced that in order to reduce fixed costs it would be eliminating a number of salaried positions throughout the Company. The Company provided the affected employees severance pay, health benefits continuation and job search assistance. This reduction took place and was paid in the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019, and in connection with this workforce reduction the Company incurred one-time severance costs of $154,022 and $244,567, respectively.

The table below summarizes the activity in the restructuring liability for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019.

2018 Restructuring

Fort Smith Restructuring

On February 13, 2018, the Company made the decision to close its manufacturing facility in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The Company ceased operations at the Fort Smith facility in July of 2018, and approximately 20 positions were eliminated as a result of the closure. The Company's decision resulted from its desire to streamline operations and to utilize some of the available excess capacity in other of our facilities. The Company moved existing Fort Smith production to its manufacturing facilities in Evansville, Indiana and Monterrey, Mexico. The Company provided the affected employees severance pay, health benefits continuation and job search assistance. The Company evaluated whether or not this closing met the criteria for discontinued operations and concluded that the closing did not meet the definition as it did not represent a strategic shift in the Company's operations and the Company has continuing cash flows from the production being moved to other of its facilities.

In October, 2018, the Company sold the building it owned in Fort Smith, which had a net book value of $733,059, for cash proceeds of $876,032 resulting in a gain on the sale of $142,973. The Company did not incur any restructuring costs associated with this closure in the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019.

The Company incurred one-time severance costs as a result of this plant closure of $(58,933) and $173,359 in the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, respectively. The amount of other costs incurred associated with this plant closure, which primarily consisted of preparing and moving existing production equipment and inventory at Fort Smith to other facilities was $423,705 and $444,358 in the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018. All of these costs were recorded to the restructuring expense line in continuing operations in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

Port Huron Restructuring

On February 1, 2018, the Company made the decision to close its manufacturing facility in Port Huron, Michigan. The Company ceased operations at the Port Huron facility in June of 2018 and 7 positions were eliminated as a result of the closure. The Company's decision resulted from its desire to streamline operations and to utilize some of the available excess capacity in other of its facilities. As such, the Company moved existing Port Huron production to our manufacturing facilities in London, Ontario, Auburn Hills, Michigan, and Louisville, Kentucky. The Company provided the affected employees severance pay, health benefits continuation and job search assistance. The Company evaluated whether or not this closing met the criteria for discontinued operations and concluded that the closing did not meet the definition as it did not represent a strategic shift in the Company's operations, and the Company has continuing cash flows from the production being moved to other of its facilities. The Company did not incur any restructuring costs associated with this closure in the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019.

The Company incurred one-time severance costs as a result of this plant closure of $(17,125) and $64,768 in the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018. The amount of other costs incurred associated with this plant closure, which primarily consisted of preparing and moving existing production equipment and inventory at Port Huron to other facilities was $190,470 and

Note 9 — Stock Incentive Plans

2013 Stock Incentive Plan

The Company’s board of directors approved a stock incentive plan (the “Plan”) in 2013. The Plan permits the Company to grant 495,000 non statutory or incentive stock options to the employees, directors and consultants of the Company. 495,000 shares of unissued common stock are reserved for the Plan. The board of directors has the authority to determine the participants to whom stock options shall be awarded as well as any restrictions to be placed upon the awards. The exercise price cannot be less than the fair value of the underlying shares at the time the stock options are issued and the maximum length of an award is ten years.

On July 17, 2013 and January 1, 2014, the board of directors approved the issuance of 375,000 and 120,000 non statutory stock option awards, respectively, to employees of the Company with an exercise price of $3.33 per share with a weighted average grant date fair value of $0.23 and $0.35 per share, respectively. On April 29, 2016, the Company issued 7,200 non statutory stock option awards to employees of the Company with an exercise price of $12.58 and with a weighted average grant date fair value of $2.80 per share. On September 15, 2017, the Company issued 5,000 non statutory stock option awards to employees of the Company with an exercise price of $7.65 per share and with a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.41 per share. All 4 grants of the awards vest 20 percent on the grant date and an additional 20 percent on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries thereafter. Vested awards can only be exercised while the participants are employed by the Company.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using a Black Scholes option pricing model that uses the weighted average assumptions noted in the following table. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the stock of comparable companies. The expected term of the awards was estimated based on findings from academic studies investigating the average holding period for options adjusted for the Company’s size and risk factors. The risk free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the United States Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

2014 Omnibus Performance Award Plan

In 2014, the board of directors and stockholders adopted the Unique Fabricating, Inc. 2014 Omnibus Performance Award Plan, or the 2014 Plan. The 2014 Plan provides for the grant of cash awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, shares of restricted stock and restricted stock units, or RSUs, performance shares and performance units. The 2014 Plan originally authorized the grant of awards relating to 250,000 shares of our common stock. In the event of any transaction that causes a change in capitalization, the Compensation Committee, such other committee administering the 2014 Plan or the board of directors will make such adjustments to the number of shares of common stock delivered, and the number and/or price of shares of common stock subject to outstanding awards granted under the 2014 Plan, as it deems appropriate and equitable to prevent dilution or enlargement of participants’ rights. An amendment approved in March of 2016 by our board of directors

which was approved by our stockholders at our annual meeting of stockholders in June 2016, increased the number of shares authorized for grant of awards under the 2014 Plan to a total of 450,000 shares of our common stock.

On August 17, 2015, the board of directors approved the issuance of stock option awards for 230,000 shares of which 45,000 shares subject to non statutory awards were granted to the board of directors and 185,000 incentive stock options were granted to employees of the Company. All of the awards had an exercise price of $12.50 per share with a weighted average grant date fair value of $2.72 per share. These awards vest 20 percent on the grant date and an additional 20 percent on each of the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the grant date thereafter. Vested awards can only be exercised while the participants are employed by the Company.

On November 20, 2015, the board of directors approved the issuance of incentive stock option awards for 15,000 shares to employees of the Company. All of the awards had an exercise price of $11.50 per share with a weighted average grant date fair value of $2.23 per share. The vesting schedule, vesting percentage, and capability of the employees to exercise these options are the same as these for the August 17, 2015 grants discussed above.

On April 29, 2016, the board of directors approved the issuance of stock option awards for 5,000 shares to employees of the Company. All of the awards had an exercise price of $12.58 per share with a weighted average grant date fair value of $2.80 per share. The vesting schedule, vesting percentage, and ability of the employees to exercise these options are the same as these for the November 20 and August 17, 2015 grants described above.

On September 15, 2017, the board of directors approved the issuance of stock option awards for 15,000 shares to employees of the Company. All of the awards had an exercise price of $7.65 per share with a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.41 per share. The vesting schedule, vesting percentage, and ability of the employees to exercise these options are the same as these for the November 20, August 17, 2015, and April 29, 2016 grants discussed above.

On June 11, 2019, the compensation committee of the board of directors approved the issuance of stock option awards for 30,000 shares to one member of the board. The award had an exercise price of $2.93 per share with a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.10 per share. These options vested immediately on the date of grant as the service conditions required for this award had already been met on the day of the award.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the grant date using a Black Scholes option pricing model that uses the weighted average assumptions noted in the following table. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the stock of comparable companies. The expected term of the awards was estimated based on findings from academic studies investigating the average holding period for options for adjusted for the Company’s size and risk factors.

The aggregate intrinsic value above is obtained by subtracting the weighted average exercise price from the estimated fair value of the underlying shares as of June 30, 2019 and multiplying this result by the related number of options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2019. The estimated fair value of the shares is based on the closing price of the stock of $2.71 as of June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019 there is no intrinsic value as the exercise prices are greater than the estimated fair value.

The Company recorded compensation expense of $65,681 and $98,362 for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and $32,681 and $65,940 for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, respectively, in its consolidated statements of operations, as a component of sales, general and administrative expenses. The income tax benefit related to share based compensation expense was $14,573 and $24,325 for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 and $8,919 and $15,700 for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

As of June 30, 2019, there was $67,958 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards under the plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.67 years.

Note 10 — Income Taxes

For interim tax reporting we estimate our annual effective tax rate and apply it to our year to date income before income taxes. The tax effects of unusual or infrequently occurring items, including changes in judgment about valuation allowances and the effect of changes in tax laws or rates, are reported in the interim period in which they occur, if applicable.

Income tax (benefit) expense for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 was $(389,056) and $(345,592), respectively, compared to $632,377 and $1,019,593 for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, respectively. During the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019, the differences between the actual effective tax rate of 4.9% and 4.2%, respectively, and the statutory rate of 21.0% was primarily due to the impairment of non-deductible goodwill as well as earnings generated in Mexico and Canada, which both have higher statutory income tax rates than the U.S., and U.S. taxation of foreign earnings under the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) provisions of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act, partially offset by tax credits in the U.S. During the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, the actual effective tax rate of 26.5% and 23.8%, respectively, and the statutory rate of 21.0% was mainly a result of earnings generated in Mexico and Canada, which both have higher income tax rates than the U.S.

Note 11 — Operating Leases

The Company leases office space, production facilities and equipment under operating leases with various expiration dates through the year 2024. The leases for office space and production facilities require the Company to pay taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance costs. Five of the leases for office space and production facilities provide for escalating rents over the life of the respective leases and rent expense for these leases is recognized over the term of the lease on a straight line basis, with the difference between lease payments and rent expense recorded as deferred rent in other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Total rent expense charged to operations was approximately $500,920 and $986,417 for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 and $665,269 and $1,334,451 for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

Future minimum lease payments required under operating leases that have initial or remaining non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year are as follows at June 30, 2019:

Note 12 — Retirement Plans

The Company maintains a defined contribution plan covering certain full time salaried employees. Employees can make elective contributions to the plan. The Company contributes 100 percent of an employee’s contribution up to the first 3 percent of each employee’s total compensation and 50 percent for the next 2 percent of each employee’s total compensation. In addition, the Company, at the discretion of the board of directors, may make additional contributions to the plan on behalf of the plan participants. The Company contributed $122,921 and $252,408, respectively, for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 and $132,363 and $259,882, respectively, for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

The Intasco operations acquired in April 2016 had separate retirement plans. The United States facility in Port Huron, Michigan sponsored a SIMPLE IRA account for qualifying employees. The plan makes a contribution equal to 3 percent of a participant's gross wages to the participating employees' SIMPLE IRA accounts. Contributions by Intasco in the United States totaled $0 for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019, because the plant closed in June of 2018 as noted in Note 8, and $194 and $1,502, respectively, for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

The Canadian facility sponsors a retirement plan whereby Intasco makes a matching contribution of participant contributions up to a maximum amount based on the participants' number of years of service. Contributions by Intasco in Canada totaled $13,184 and $29,702, respectively, for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 and $12,707 and $28,365, respectively, for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

Note 13 — Related Party Transactions

Effective March 18, 2013, the Company is under a management agreement with a firm related to several stockholders. The agreement initially provided for annual management fees of $300,000 and additional fees for assistance provided with acquisitions. Effective upon completion of the Company's initial public offering, the agreement was amended to reduce the annual management fee by an amount equal to the amount, if any, of annual cash retainers and equity awards received as compensation for service on the board of directors to any person who is a related person of Taglich Private Equity, LLC or Taglich Brothers, Inc. The Company incurred management fees of $56,250 and $112,500, respectively, for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 and $56,250 and $112,500, respectively, for the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018. The management agreement had an initial term of five years, expiring on March 18, 2018, and renews automatically annually for additional one year terms. The current term expires on March 18, 2020. The agreement also will terminate on the date that the Taglich Founding Investors or Taglich Equity Investors, each as defined, no longer also collectively own 50% of the equity securities owned by either of them on March 18, 2013.

In 2019, the Company has entered into a services agreement with 6th Avenue Group, which is a company owned by a Board member of the Company. The services performed have been related to providing assistance for long term strategic planning for the Company as well as aiding in helping the Company with CEO transition services. As previously mentioned in Note 8, the Company's CEO resigned on May 6, 2019. The Company incurred fees to the 6th Avenue Group of $75,819 and $75,819, respectively, for the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019. The services provided by 6th Avenue Group are expected to end in 2019. This Board member, as discussed in Note 9, was also awarded stock options for 30,000 shares for her services on June 11, 2019.

Note 14 — Fair Value Measurements

TABLE OF CONTENTS

UNIQUE FABRICATING, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. The carrying amount of all significant financial instruments approximates fair value due to either the short maturity or the existence of variable interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates.

Accounting standards require certain other items be reported at fair value in the financial statements and provides a framework for establishing that fair value. The framework for determining fair value is based on a hierarchy that prioritizes the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value.

Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs use other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar items in active markets, and other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related item. Level 3 fair value measurements are based primarily on management’s own estimates using inputs such as pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques taking into account the characteristics of the item.

In instances whereby inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each item.

The Company measures its interest rate swaps at fair value on a recurring basis based primarily on Level 2 inputs using an income model based on disparity between variance and fixed interest rates, the scheduled balance of principal outstanding, yield curves and other information readily available in the market.

Note 15 — Contingencies

The Company is engaged from time to time in legal matters and proceedings arising out of its normal course of business. The Company establishes a liability related to its legal proceedings and claims when it has determined that it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and the related amount can be reasonably estimated. If the Company determines that an obligation is reasonably possible, the Company will, if material, disclose the nature of the loss contingency and the estimated range of possible loss, or include a statement that no estimate of loss can be made. While uncertainties are inherent in the final outcome of such matters, the Company believes that there are no pending proceedings in which the Company is currently involved that will have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

Note 16 — Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed giving effect to all potentially weighted average dilutive shares including stock options and warrants. The dilutive effect of outstanding awards, if any, is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s policy is that quarterly periods end on the Sunday closest to the end of the calendar quarterly period. The second quarter of 2019 ended on June 30, 2019 and the second quarter of 2018 ended on July 1, 2018. The Company’s policy is that fiscal years end annually on the Sunday closest to the end of the calendar year end. Our 2018 fiscal year ended on December 30, 2018 and the current fiscal year will end on December 29, 2019. The Company’s operations are aggregated in one reportable business segment. Although we expanded the products that we manufacture and sell to include components used in the appliance, HVAC and water heater industries, products for these industries are manufactured at facilities that also manufacture or are capable of manufacturing products for the automotive industries. All of our manufacturing locations have similar capabilities, and most plants serve multiple markets. The manufacturing operations for our automotive, appliance, HVAC and water heater products share management and labor forces and use common personnel and strategies for new product development, marketing and the sourcing of raw materials.

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:


•	have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;


•	comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);


•	submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency” and


•	disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years from our initial public offering, or until the earliest to occur of (1) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1.1 billion, (2) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (3) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our emerging growth status will expire on the first day of the fiscal year 2020, and as such at the time we will no longer be able to take advantage of the exemptions noted above.

Overview

Unique is engaged in the engineering and manufacture of multi-material foam, rubber, and plastic components utilized in noise, vibration and harshness, acoustical management, water and air sealing, decorative and other functional applications. The Company combines a long history of organic growth with some more recent strategic acquisitions to diversify both product capabilities and markets served.

Unique’s markets served are the North America automotive and heavy duty truck, as well as the appliance, water heater and HVAC markets. Sales are conducted directly with major automotive and heavy duty truck, appliance, water heater and HVAC OEMs, or indirectly through the Tier 1 suppliers of these OEMs. The Company has its principal executive offices in Auburn Hills, Michigan and has sales, engineering and production facilities in Auburn Hills, Michigan, Concord, Michigan, LaFayette, Georgia, Louisville, Kentucky, Evansville, Indiana, Bryan, Ohio, Monterrey, Mexico, Queretaro, Mexico and London, Ontario. The Company also has an independent client sales representative who maintains offices in Baldham, Germany.

Unique derives the majority of its net sales from the sales of foam, rubber plastic, and tape adhesive related automotive products. These products are produced from a variety of manufacturing processes including die cutting, compression molding, thermoforming, reaction injection molding, and fusion molding. We believe Unique has a broader array of processes and materials utilized than any of its direct competitors, based on our product offerings. By sealing out air noise and water intrusion, and by providing sound absorption and blocking, Unique’s products improve the interior comfort of a vehicle, increasing perceived vehicle quality and the overall experience of its passengers. Unique’s products perform similar functions for appliances, water heaters and HVAC systems, improving thermal characteristics, reducing noise and prolonging equipment life.

We primarily operate within the highly competitive and cyclical automotive parts industry. Through 2016, the industry experienced consistent growth as it recovered from the recession of 2009. However, the industry has been declining somewhat in the years since then. Over the same period we were able to grow our core automotive parts business at a faster rate than the industry as a whole, indicating we were taking market share from competitors and increasing our content per vehicle on the programs we supply.

Recent Developments

Impairment of Goodwill

During the second quarter of 2019, the Company experienced a decline in market capitalization, which under applicable accounting standards, is a potential indicator of impairment. As a result, the Company performed an interim quantitative assessment as of June 30, 2019, utilizing a combination of the income and market approaches, which were weighted evenly. The results of the quantitative analysis performed indicated the carrying value of the Company exceeded the fair value of the Company by $6.76 million and, accordingly, an impairment was recorded. Key assumptions used in the analysis were a discount rate of 12.5%, EBITDA margin and a terminal growth rate of 2.0%. Future events and changing market conditions may, however, lead us to reevaluate the assumptions we have used to test for goodwill impairment, including key assumptions used in our expected EBITDA margins and cash flows, as well as other key assumptions with respect to matters out of our control, such as discount rates and market multiple comparables. Based on the results of the quantitative test, we performed sensitivity analysis around the key assumptions used in the analysis, the results of which were a 50 basis point decline in EBITDA margin used to determine expected future cash flows would have resulted in an additional impairment of approximately $12.3 million.

Second Quarter Results

Second quarter results were adversely affected by a number of factors including an overall decrease in North American vehicle production, the loss of business due to end of life of certain vehicle platforms and the discontinuation of certain passenger car platforms at a certain OEM. We expect that these factors may continue to adversely affect results through the remainder of this year. In addition, our results were adversely affected by the impairment charge of $6.76 million.

Salaried Restructuring

TABLE OF CONTENTS

On July 30, 2019, subsequent to our quarter-end, our former President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company (CEO), resigned as a member of the board of directors. The Company did not incur any additional restructuring costs in connection with his resignation as a director.

On May 6, 2019, our former President and CEO resigned by mutual agreement of both parties. The Company incurred one-time restructuring costs of $579,972 and $579,972 during the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019, respectively in connection with his resignation. Further charges with respect to his resignation as President and CEO are expected to be incurred in 2019 subsequent to quarter end and are expected to be immaterial.

On May 15, 2019 and on February 1, 2019, the Company announced that in order to reduce fixed costs it would be eliminating a number of salaried positions throughout the Company. The Company provided the affected employees severance pay, health benefits continuation and job search assistance. This reduction took place and was paid in the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 , and in connection with this workforce reduction the Company incurred one-time severance costs of $154,022 and $244,567, respectively.

Evansville Facility Closure

As such, the Company will move existing Evansville production to its manufacturing facilities in LaFayette, GA, Auburn Hills, MI, and Louisville, KY. The Company will provide the affected employees severance pay, health benefits continuation, and job search assistance. The Company evaluated whether or not this closing met the criteria for discontinued operations and concluded that the closing did not meet the definition as it did not represent a strategic shift in the Company's operations and the Company will have continuing cash flows from the production being moved to other facilities within the Company.

The Company expects to incur one-time severance costs as a result of this plant closure of approximately $309,000 during the remainder of 2019. The amount of other costs incurred associated with this plant closure, which will primarily consist of preparing and moving existing production equipment and inventory at Evansville to other facilities, will be approximately $1.325 million, and early lease termination fees will be approximately $1.2 million during the remainder of 2019. The Company is actively pursing a sublease of the facility.

Fort Smith Facility Closure

On February 13, 2018, the Company made the decision to close its manufacturing facility in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The Company ceased operations at the Fort Smith facility in July of 2018, and approximately 20 positions were eliminated as a result of the closure. The Company's decision resulted from its desire to streamline operations and to utilize some of the available excess capacity in other of its facilities. The Company moved existing Fort Smith production to our manufacturing facilities in Evansville, Indiana and Monterrey, Mexico. The Company provided the affected employees severance pay, health benefits continuation and job search assistance. The Company evaluated whether or not this closing met the criteria for discontinued operations and concluded that the closing did not meet the definition as it did not represent a strategic shift in the Company's operations, and the Company has continuing cash flows from the production being moved to other of its facilities.

The Company incurred one-time severance costs as a result of this plant closure of $(58,933) and $173,359, respectively, in the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018. The amount of other costs incurred associated with this plant closure, which primarily consisted of preparing and moving existing production equipment and inventory at Fort Smith to other facilities was $423,705 and $444,358, respectively, in the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018. All of these costs were recorded to the restructuring expense line in continuing operations in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Port Huron Facility Closure

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company moved existing Port Huron production to our manufacturing facilities in London, Ontario, Auburn Hills, Michigan, and Louisville, Kentucky. The Company provided the affected employees severance pay, health benefits continuation and job search assistance. The Company evaluated whether or not this closing met the criteria for discontinued operations and concluded that the closing did not meet the definition as it did not represent a strategic shift in the Company's operations and the Company has continuing cash flows from the production being moved to other of its facilities. The Company did not incur any restructuring costs associated with this closure in the 13 and 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019.

The Company incurred one-time severance costs as a result of this plant closure of $(17,125) and $64,768, respectively, in the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018. The amount of other costs incurred associated with this plant closure, which primarily consisted of preparing and moving existing production equipment and inventory at Port Huron to other facilities was $190,470 and $297,899, respectively, in the 13 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018. All of these costs were recorded to the restructuring expense line in continuing operations in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Tax Cut and JOBS Act

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Act”), enacted in December 2017, changed many aspects of U.S. corporate income taxation and included the reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%. The Act also included implementation of a territorial system and imposition of a one-time tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. During 2018, we completed our accounting for the income tax effects of the Act and recorded a benefit of $(80,453) as an adjustment to the provisional estimate of the one-time transition tax expense recorded in 2017. Also during 2018, the Act required a calculation of tax under the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (“GILTI”) provisions of the Act, which resulted in a $320,000 expense. The Company calculates the tax impact of GILTI quarterly.

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On November 8, 2018, the US Borrower and the CA Borrower, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the existing Credit Agreement, with Citizens, acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among other things increases the principal amount of US Term Loan borrowings to $26.0 million, creates a two year line to fund capital expenditures of up to $2.5 million through November 8, 2019 and $5.0 million thereafter through November 8, 2020, and extends the maturity dates of all borrowings from April 28, 2021 to November 7, 2023. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $30.0 million under the Revolver, subject to availability, and left the principal amount on the CA Term Loan the same as at September 30, 2018, approximately $12.0 million, and the same as it was under the previous Credit Agreement. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement combined the previous US Term Loan and US Term Loan II (the “New US Term Loan”) into one term loan, and increases the aggregate principal amount to $26.0 million dollars from $15.9 million. The increase in the principal amount effected by the New U.S. Term Loan replaced and termed-out outstanding borrowings under the Revolver. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement changes the quarterly principal payments of the New US Term Loan to $337,500 through September 30, 2020, $575,000 thereafter through September 30, 2021, and $812,500 thereafter though maturity. Finally, the agreement made certain changes to the Company's covenants and financial covenant ratios.

Covenant Compliance

As of March 31, 2019, the Company was not in compliance with the total leverage ratio financial covenant. As a result of this non-compliance, on May 7, 2019, the US Borrower and the CA Borrower entered into the waiver and First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with Citizens, acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The First Amendment temporarily waived the default on the March 31, 2019 covenant violation until the earlier of June 15, 2019 and the execution and delivery of a further amendment revising the calculation of the total leverage ratio and such other financial covenants as are necessary taking into account the Borrowers current and future financial condition.

On June 14, 2019, the Company entered into the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with Citizens, acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The Second Amendment revised the waiver period as defined with respect to the March 31, 2019 covenant violation and resulting default until the earlier

of June 30, 2019 (which was June 15, 2019 under the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) and the execution and delivery of a further amendment revising the calculation of the total leverage ratio and such other financial covenants as are necessary taking into account the Borrowers current and future financial condition.

On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with Citizens, acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The Third Amendment revised the waiver period as defined with respect to the March 31, 2019 covenant violation and resulting default until the earlier of July 22, 2019 (which was June 30, 2019 under the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) and the execution and delivery of a further amendment revising the calculation of the total leverage ratio and such other financial covenants as are necessary taking into account the Borrowers current and future financial condition.

On July 16, 2019, the Company entered into the Waiver and Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with Citizens, acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The Fourth Amendment provided a permanent waiver by the Lenders and Agent with respect to the Borrower's non-compliance with the total leverage ratio financial covenant, as defined, not in excess of 3.50 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2019. The Fourth Amendment also revised the definition of consolidated EBITDA and certain financial covenants, including the maximum total leverage ratio and the minimum debt service coverage ratio, as well as adding the requirement that the Company maintain minimum liquidity and minimum unadjusted consolidated EBITDA, each as defined. The Fourth Amendment permits distributions as long as the Borrower is in compliance with specified conditions including that the Borrower's liquidity, as defined, is not less than $5 million after giving effect to the distributions,, total leverage ratio is not more than 2.00 to 1.00, post distribution debt service coverage ratio ("DSCR"), as defined, is not greater than 1.10 to 1.00, and Borrower is in compliance with financial covenants, before and after giving effect to the distributions. The Company is compliant with the covenants set forth in the Waiver and Fourth Amendment as of June 30, 2019. The Company does not anticipate the payment of dividends in 2019.

Net sales	$	38,889	$	45,742

Net sales for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019 were approximately $38.89 million compared to $45.74 million for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018. The decrease in sales for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019, was primarily attributable to a 1% overall industry decrease in North American vehicle production in such period as compared to production in the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018, the loss of business due to end of life of certain vehicle platforms, the loss of business at two major non-automotive customers as a result of our closing our Ft. Smith, Arkansas facility in June of 2018, as well as the discontinuation of certain passenger car platforms at an automotive OEM.

Depreciation	1.7	%	1.2	%
Cost of Sales	78.9	%	75.6	%
Gross Profit	21.1	%	24.4	%

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019 increased to 78.9% from 75.6% for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to higher material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs as a percentage of net sales. Material costs increased to 50.8% of net sales for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019 from 50.2% for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018 primarily due to unfavorable product mix. Direct labor and benefit costs as a percentage of net sales was 15.8% for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019 compared to 14.8% for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018 primarily due to higher health insurance claims incurred under our self-insured health and welfare benefit plans. Manufacturing overhead costs as a percentage of net sales was 10.6% for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019 versus 9.4% for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018. The increase in manufacturing overhead costs as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the decline in sales from the second quarter of 2018. Depreciation costs increased to 1.7% of net sales for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019 compared to 1.2% for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018, again largely due to the decline in revenues from the second quarter of 2018, as well as the investment in new equipment we made during 2018 to increase our capacity to meet expected future demand and to add production capabilities at our manufacturing facilities.

Gross Profit

As a result of the increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales described above, gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019 decreased to 21.1% from 24.4% for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

SG&A as a percentage of net sales for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019, increased to 19.1% from 16.1% for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018. The increase is primarily related to the decline of overall net sales in the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019 compared to the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

Operating (Loss) Income

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Impairment of goodwill was $6.76 million and restructuring expenses were $0.73 million for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019, compared to impairment of goodwill of $0 and restructuring expenses of $0.54 million for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018. As a result of the impairment and restructuring expense, as well as the other factors that were discussed above, operating (loss) income for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019 was $(6.71) million compared to operating income of $3.27 million for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

Non-Operating Expense

Non-operating expense for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019 was $1.31 million compared to $0.89 million for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018. The change in non-operating expense was primarily driven by an increase in interest expense due to an unfavorable mark-to-market on the interest rate swaps of $0.27 million entered into during the fourth quarter of 2018, as required under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

(Loss) Income Before Income Taxes

As a result of the foregoing factors, (loss) income before income taxes for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019 was $(8.01) million compared to income before income taxes of $2.38 million for the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

Income Tax Provision

During the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019, income tax benefit was $(0.39) million, and the effective income tax rate was 4.9%. The differences between the effective tax rate and the statutory rate of 21.0% are primarily due to permanent differences between book and tax accounting on the impairment of goodwill as well as earnings generated in Mexico and Canada, which both have higher statutory income tax rates than the U.S., and U.S, taxation of foreign earnings under the GILTI provisions of the Act, partially offset by tax credits in the U.S. These adjustments are explained further in Note 10.

During the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018, income tax expense was $0.63 million, and the effective income tax rate was 26.5%. The effective tax rate was higher than the new Federal statutory rate of 21.0% that was enacted with the Tax Cuts on Jobs Act on December 22, 2017 primarily due to earnings generated in Mexico and Canada, which both have higher income tax rates than the U.S.

Net (loss) income

As a result of the impairment of goodwill, restructuring expenses, lower net sales, and changes in other expenses and benefits discussed above, net loss for the 13 weeks ended June 30, 2019 was $(7.62) million compared to net income of $1.75 million during the 13 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

Net sales for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 were approximately $78.36 million compared to $93.05 million for the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018. The decrease in net sales for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 , was primarily attributable to a 2.4% overall industry decrease in North American vehicle production in such period as compared to production in the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, the loss of business due to end of life of certain vehicle platforms, the loss of business at two major non-automotive customers as a result of our closing our Ft. Smith, Arkansas facility in June of 2018, as well as the discontinuation of certain passenger car platforms at a certain automotive OEM.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 increased to 79.0% from 76.1% for the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018. The increase in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was primarily attributable to higher material, labor and manufacturing overhead costs as a percentage of net sales. Material costs increased to 50.8% of net sales for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 from 50.2% for the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018 primarily due to unfavorable product mix. Direct labor and benefit costs as a percentage of net sales was 15.7% for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 compared to 15.2% for the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018 primarily due to higher health insurance claims incurred under our self-insured health and welfare benefit plans. Manufacturing overhead costs as a percentage of net sales was 10.8% for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 versus 9.5% for the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018. The increase in manufacturing overhead costs as a percentage of net sales was primarily due to the decline in sales from the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2018. Depreciation costs increased to 1.7% of net sales for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 compared to 1.2% for the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, again largely due to the decline in net sales during the first six months of 2019, as well as the investment in new equipment we made during 2018 to increase our capacity to meet expected future demand and to add production capabilities at our manufacturing facilities.

Gross Profit

As a result of the increase in cost of sales as a percentage of sales described above, gross profit as a percentage of net sales for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 decreased to 21.1% from 23.9% for the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

SG&A as a % of net sales	18.8		%	16.5		%

SG&A as a percentage of net sales for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019, despite a decline in the amount expensed, increased to 18.8% from 16.5% for the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018. The increase is primarily related to the decline of overall net sales in the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 compared to the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

Operating (Loss) Income

Impairment of goodwill was $6.76 million and restructuring expenses were $.82 million for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 compared to impairment of goodwill of $0 and restructuring expenses of $0.98 million for the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018. As a result of the impairment and restructuring expenses, as well as the other factors discussed above, operating (loss) income for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 was $(5.77) million compared to $5.94 million for the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

Non-Operating Expense

Non-operating expense for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 was $2.39 million compared to $1.66 million for the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018. The change in non-operating expense was primarily driven by an increase in interest expense due to an unfavorable mark-to-market on the interest rate swaps of $0.66 million entered into during the fourth quarter of 2018, as required under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

(Loss) Income Before Income Taxes

As a result of the foregoing factors, the (loss) income before income taxes for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 was $(8.16) million compared to $4.28 million for the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

Income Tax Provision

During the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 , income tax benefit was $0.35 million, and the effective income tax rate was 4.2%. The differences between the effective tax rate and the statutory rate of 21.0% are primarily due to to permanent differences between book and tax accounting on the impairment of goodwill as well as earnings generated in Mexico and Canada, which both have higher statutory income tax rates than the U.S., and U.S, taxation of foreign earnings under the GILTI provisions of the Act, partially offset by tax credits in the U.S. These adjustments are explained further in Note 10.

During the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, income tax expense was $1.02 million and the effective income tax rate was 23.8%. The effective tax rate was higher than the new Federal statutory rate of 21.0% that was enacted with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act on December 22, 2017 primarily due to earnings generated in Mexico and Canada, which both have higher income tax rates than the U.S.

Net (loss) income

As a result of the impairment of goodwill, restructuring expenses, lower net sales, and changes in other expenses and benefits discussed above, net loss for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 was $(7.81) million compared to net income of $3.26 million during the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA

We present Adjusted EBITDA (defined below), a measure that is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (non-GAAP), in this document to provide investors with a supplemental measure of our operating performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure and it is used by us to facilitate a comparison of our operating performance on a consistent basis from period-to-period and to provide for a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business and measures under GAAP can provide alone. Our board and management also use Adjusted EBITDA as one of the primary methods for planning and forecasting overall expected performance and for evaluating on a quarterly and annual basis actual results against such expectations, and as a performance evaluation metric in determining achievement of certain compensation programs and plans for Company management. In addition, the financial covenants in our new credit facility are based on Adjusted EBITDA subject to dollar limitations on certain adjustments.

We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash stock awards, non-recurring integration expense, goodwill impairment, restructuring expenses, and one-time consulting and licensing ERP system implementation costs as we implement a new ERP system at all locations. We believe omitting these items provides a financial measure that facilitates comparisons of our results of operations with those of companies having different capital structures. Since the levels of indebtedness and tax structures that other companies have are different from ours, we omit these amounts to facilitate investors’ ability to make these comparisons. Similarly, we omit depreciation and amortization because other companies may employ a greater or lesser amount of property and intangible assets. We believe that investors, analysts and other interested parties view our ability to generate Adjusted EBITDA as an important measure of our operating performance and that of other companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the periods indicated as a measure of our performance. Other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

The use of Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider this performance measure in isolation from, or as an alternative to, GAAP measures such as net income. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of liquidity under GAAP or otherwise, and is not an alternative to cash flow from continuing operating activities. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by the expenses that are excluded from that term or by unusual or non-recurring items. The limitations of Adjusted EBITDA include that: (1) it does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (2) it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; (3) it does not reflect income tax payments we may be required to make; and (4) it does not reflect the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments associated with indebtedness.

To properly and prudently evaluate our business, we encourage you to review our unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this document, our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA from net income, the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP, set forth in the following table. All of the items included in the reconciliation from net income to Adjusted EBITDA are either (1) non-cash items or (2) items that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance. In the case of the non-cash items, management believes that investors may find it useful to assess our comparative operating performance because the measures without such items are less susceptible to variances in actual performance resulting from depreciation, amortization and other non-cash charges and more reflective of other factors that affect operating performance. In the case of the other items that management does not consider in assessing our on-going operating performance, management believes that investors may find it useful to assess our operating performance if the measures are presented without these items because their financial impact may not reflect on-going operating performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations and borrowings under our Credit Agreement from our senior lenders.

Our primary uses of cash are payment of vendors, payroll, operating costs, capital expenditures and debt service. As of June 30, 2019 and December 30, 2018, we had a cash balance of $1.01 million and $1.41 million, respectively. Our excess cash balance is swept daily and applied to reduce borrowings under our revolving line of credit, which remains available for re-borrowing, as needed, subject to compliance with the terms of the facility. As of June 30, 2019 and December 30, 2018, we had $14.14 million and $11.61 million, respectively, available to be borrowed under our revolving credit facility, subject to borrowing base restrictions and outstanding letters of credit. At each such date, we were in compliance with all debt covenants, as outlined in the Waiver and Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. We believe that our sources of liquidity, including cash flow from operations, existing cash and our revolving line of credit are sufficient to meet our projected cash requirements for at least the next fifty two weeks.

In 2019, we plan to spend approximately $3.43 million in capital expenditures, of which $1.88 million was spent through June 30, 2019, primarily to add new production equipment as we expand our production capabilities, upgrade existing equipment, and improve our information technology software and hardware throughout our facilities.

While we believe we have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our current operating requirements and planned capital expenditures, we may elect to pursue additional growth opportunities that could require additional debt or equity financing. If we are unable to secure additional financing at favorable terms in order to pursue such additional growth opportunities, our ability to pursue such opportunities could be materially adversely affected.

Covenant Compliance

As of March 31, 2019, the Company was not in compliance with the total leverage ratio financial covenant. As a result of this non-compliance, on May 7, 2019, the US Borrower and the CA Borrower entered into the waiver and First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with Citizens, acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The First Amendment temporarily waived the default on the March 31, 2019 covenant violation until the earlier of June 15, 2019 and the execution and delivery of a further amendment revising the calculation of the total leverage ratio and such other financial covenants as are necessary taking into account the Borrowers current and future financial condition. The temporary waiver was extended by a Waiver and Second Amendment and a Waiver and Third Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.

On June 14, 2019, the Company entered into the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with Citizens acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The Second Amendment

TABLE OF CONTENTS

revised the waiver period as defined with respect to the March 31, 2019 covenant violation and resulting default until the earlier of June 30, 2019 (which was June 15, 2019 under the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) and the execution and delivery of a further amendment revising the calculation of the total leverage ratio and such other financial covenants as are necessary taking into account the Borrowers current and future financial condition.

On June 28, 2019, the Company entered into the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with Citizens acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The Third Amendment revised the waiver period as defined with respect to the March 31, 2019 covenant violation and resulting default until the earlier of July 22, 2019 (which was June 30, 2019 under the Second Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) and the execution and delivery of a further amendment revising the calculation of the total leverage ratio and such other financial covenants as are necessary taking into account the Borrowers current and future financial condition.

On July 16, 2019, the Company entered into the Waiver and Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with Citizens acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The Fourth Amendment provided a permanent waiver by the Lenders and Agent with respect to the Borrower's non-compliance with the total leverage ratio financial covenant, as defined, not in excess of 3.50 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2019. The Fourth Amendment also revised the definition of consolidated EBITDA and certain financial covenants, including the maximum total leverage ratio and the minimum debt service coverage ratio, as well as adding the requirement that the Company maintain minimum liquidity and minimum unadjusted consolidated EBITDA, each as defined. The Company is compliant with the covenants set forth in the Waiver and Fourth Amendment as of June 30, 2019.

Dividends

The Fourth Amendment permits distributions as long as the Borrower is in compliance with specified conditions including that the Borrower's liquidity, as defined, is not less than $5 million after giving effect to the distributions, total leverage ratio is not more than 2.00 to 1.00, post distribution DSCR, as defined, is not greater than 1.10 to 1.00, and Borrower is in compliance with financial covenantss, before and after giving effect to the distributions. The Company does not anticipate the payment of dividends in 2019.

Cash Flow Data

The following table presents cash flow data for the periods indicated.

Operating activities	$	5,084		$	4,361
Investing activities	(1,839		)	(3,357		)
Financing activities	(3,600		)	(1,455		)

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities consists of: net income adjusted for non-cash items; including depreciation and amortization; gain or loss on sale of assets; gain or loss on derivative instruments; bad debt adjustments; stock option expense; changes in deferred income taxes; accrued and other liabilities; prepaid expenses and other assets; and the effect of working capital changes. The primary factors affecting cash inflows and outflows are accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other assets, and accounts payable and accrued interest.

During the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019, net cash provided by operating activities was $5.08 million, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $4.36 million for the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018.

Net cash provided by operations for the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 was positively impacted by decreases in working capital, primarily in accounts receivable and inventory.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Net cash provided by operations for the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018 was positively impacted by decreases in working capital, primarily in accounts payable and prepaid expenses.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities consists principally of purchases of property, plant and equipment.

In the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019 and 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, we made capital expenditures of $1.88 million and $3.37 million, respectively.

We plan to spend a total of approximately $3.43 million in capital expenditures during 2019, including the $1.88 million spent through June 30, 2019.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities consists primarily of borrowings and payments under our new and old senior credit facilities, debt issuance costs, proceeds from any exercise of stock options and warrants, and distribution of cash dividends.

In the 26 weeks ended June 30, 2019, we had outflows of $3.60 million primarily due to $2.64 million payment of the principal amount of our term loans and note payable under our new amended and restated senior credit facility. These outflows were partially offset by $1.30 million net proceeds from borrowings under our capital expenditure line.

As of June 30, 2019, $15.96 million was outstanding under the revolving credit facility, gross of debt issuance costs. Borrowings under the new revolving credit facility are subject to borrowing base restrictions and reduced to the extent of letters of credit issued under the new senior credit facility. As of June 30, 2019, the maximum additional available borrowings under the revolver was $14.14 million, subject to borrowing base restrictions and a reduction for a $0.1 million letter of credit issued for the benefit of the landlord of one of the Company’s leased facilities. Amounts repaid under the revolving credit facility will be available to be re-borrowed, subject to compliance with the terms of the facility.

In the 26 weeks ended July 1, 2018, we had outflows of $1.45 million primarily due to $1.80 million of pay-off of the principal amount of our term loan under our old senior credit facility, and $2.93 million for payments of cash dividends. These outflows were partially offset by $3.55 million net proceeds from borrowings under our old revolving credit facility.

Credit Agreement

On April 29, 2016, the US Borrower and the CA Borrower and Citizens, acting as lender and Administrative Agent and the other lenders, entered into the Credit Agreement providing for borrowings of up to the aggregate principal amount of $62.00 million. The Credit Agreement was a senior secured credit facility and consisted of a revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) of up to $30.00 million to the US Borrower, a $17.00 million principal amount term loan to the US Borrower, (the “US Term Loan” and a $15.00 million term loan to the CA Borrower.

On August 18, 2017, the US Borrower and the CA Borrower entered into the Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, with Citizens, acting as Administrative agent, and other lenders. The Amendment converted $4.00 million of outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit under the Credit Agreement into an additional $4,000,000.00 million term loan to the US Borrower (the “US Term Loan II”). The conversion of a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit did not reduce the aggregate amount available to be borrowed under it.

On August 8, 2018 the US Borrower and the CA Borrower entered into the Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, with Citizens acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The Fourth Amendment required the Company to use the net proceeds from the sale of the Ft. Smith, Arkansas building to reduce the outstanding borrowings under the Revolver. The application of the net proceeds did not permanently reduce the aggregate amount that could be borrowed under the Revolver. The Fourth Amendment also eased, for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2018, the financial covenant ratio which determined the Company's ability to pay dividends.

On September 20, 2018, the US Borrower and the CA Borrower entered into the Fifth Amendment (the “Fifth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, with Citizens acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The Fifth Amendment temporarily increased the maximum amount that could be borrowed under the Revolver to $32.5 million from its previous maximum of $30.0 million. This increase implemented by the Fifth Amendment was effective until October 31, 2018, at which point the maximum amount that could be borrowed under the Revolver reverted back to $30,000,000.0 million.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

On November 8, 2018, the US Borrower and the CA Borrower, entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”), which amended and restated the existing Credit Agreement, with Citizens, acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among other things increased the principal amount of US Term Loan borrowings to $26.0 million, created a two year line to fund capital expenditures of up to $2.5 million through November 8, 2019 and $5.0 million thereafter through November 8, 2020, and extends the maturity dates of all borrowings from April 28, 2021 to November 7, 2023. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for borrowings of up to $30.0 million under the Revolver, subject to availability, and left the principal amount on the CA Term Loan at approximately $12.0 million on September 30, 2018, and the same as it was under the previous Credit Agreement as of the end of the third quarter. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement combined the previous US Term Loan and US Term Loan II (the “New US Term Loan”), and increases the aggregate principal amount to $26.0 million dollars from $15.9 million. The increase in the principal amount effected by the New U.S. Term Loan replaced and termed-out outstanding borrowings under the Revolver. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement changes the quarterly principal payments of the New US Term Loan to $337,500 through September 30, 2020, $575,000 thereafter through September 30, 2021, and $812,500 thereafter though maturity. Finally, the agreement made certain changes to the Company's covenants and financial covenant ratios.

The Revolver, New US Term Loan, and CA Term Loan all mature on November 7, 2023 and bear interest at the Company's election of either (i) the greater of the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate (the “Base Rate”) or (ii) the LIBOR rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75% in the case of the Base Rate and 2.75% to 3.75% in the case of the LIBOR rate, in each case, based on senior leverage ratio thresholds measured quarterly, as amended by the Waiver and Fourth Amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The effective interest rate as of June 30, 2019 was 6.1885%.

In addition, the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement allows for increases in the principal amount of the Revolver and New US and CA Term Loans not to exceed $10.00 million, in the aggregate, provided that before and after giving effect to any proposed increase (and any transactions to be consummated using proceeds of the increase), the total leverage and debt service coverage ratios do not exceed specified amounts. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of credit with a face amount of up to $2.00 million, in the aggregate, provided that any letter of credit issued will reduce availability under the Revolver.

We are permitted to prepay in part or in full the amounts due under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement without penalty, provided that with respect to prepayment of the Revolver at least $0.10 million remains outstanding. Our obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default, which include customary events for a financing arrangement of this type, including, without limitation, payment defaults, defaults in the performance of affirmative or negative covenants (including financial ratio maintenance requirements), bankruptcy or related defaults, defaults on certain other indebtedness, the material inaccuracy of representations or warranties, material adverse changes, and changes related to ownership of the U.S. Borrower or Unique Fabricating, Inc. In the event of an event of default, the interest rate on the Revolver and New US Term Loan and CA Term Loan will increase by 3.0% per annum plus the hen applicable rate. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires that, in addition to scheduled principal payments, we repay both the New US Term Loan and CA Term Loan principal annually in an amount equal to (a) 50% of excess cash flow, as defined, if the total leverage ratio, as defined, as calculated as of the end of such year is greater than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00, or (b) 25% of excess cash flow calculated as of the end of such fiscal year if the total leverage ratio is greater than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00 but less than 2.75 to 1.00.

The US Borrower's obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each of its United States subsidiaries and by Unique Fabricating, Inc. and secured by a first priority security interest in all tangible and intangible assets, including a pledge of capital stock of the United States subsidiaries of the US Borrower and of 65% of the capital stock of the CA Borrower, and by mortgages on our facilities in LaFayette, Georgia, Louisville, Kentucky, and Evansville, Indiana. The US borrower guarantees all of the obligations and liabilities of the CA Borrower. Unique Fabricating, Inc. also pledged all of the capital stock of the US Borrower. The Fourth Amendment provided for the discharge and release of the mortgage on the Ft. Smith, Arkansas facility subject to the application of the net proceeds of its sale to reduce borrowings under the Revolver. The application of the net proceeds did not permanently reduce the amounts that could be borrowed under the Revolver.

Effective June 30, 2016, as required under the Credit Agreement, the Company purchased a derivative financial instrument, in the form of an interest rate swap, for the purpose of hedging certain identifiable transactions in order to mitigate risks related to cash flow variability caused by interest rate fluctuations. The interest rate swap requires the Company to pay a

fixed rate of 1.055% per annum while receiving a variable rate of one-month LIBOR. The notional amount at the effective date began at $16.68 million and decreased by $0.32 million each quarter until June 30, 2017, decreased thereafter by $0.43 million per quarter until June 29, 2018, when it began decreasing by $0.53 million until it expires on June 28, 2019. The interest rate swap was recognized at its fair value. Monthly settlement payments due on the interest rate swap and changes in its fair value are recognized as interest expense in the period incurred. Please see Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Effective October 2, 2017, as required under the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, as discussed in Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements, the Company entered into an interest rate swap which requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of 1.093% per annum while receiving a variable interest rate per annum based on one month LIBOR for a net monthly settlement based on half of the notional amount beginning immediately. The notional amount at the effective date was $1.90 million and decreases by $0.10 million each quarter until it expires on September 30, 2020. The interest rate swap is recognized at its fair value, and monthly settlement payments due on the interest rate swap and changes in its fair value are recognized as interest expense in the period incurred.

Effective November 30, 2018, as required under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company entered into another interest rate swap the requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of 3.075% per annum while receiving a variable interest rate per annum based on the one month LIBOR for a net monthly settlement based on the notional amount in effect. The notional amount at the effective date was $5.04 million which increases by $0.38 million each quarter until June 28, 2019 when the notional amount increases to $17.54 million due to the interest rate swap from 2016 above expiring. The notional amount then decreases each quarter by $0.15 million until September 30, 2020 when the notional amount increases to $17.48 million due to the interest rate swap from 2017 above expiring. The notional amount then decreases each quarter by $0.43 million until December 31, 2021, then decreases each subsequent quarter by $0.61 million until it expires on November 8, 2023.The Company has elected not to apply hedge accounting for financial reporting purposes on all of its swaps.

We must comply with a minimum debt service financial covenant and a senior funded indebtedness to EBITDA covenant, as revised under the Waiver and Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with Citizens, acting as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders. The Fourth Amendment provided a permanent waiver by the Lenders and Agent with respect to the Borrower's failure to maintain a total leverage ratio, as defined, not in excess of 3.50 to 1.00 as of March 31, 2019. The Fourth Amendment also revised the definition of consolidated EBITDA and certain financial covenants, including the maximum total leverage ratio and the minimum debt service coverage ratio, as well as added the requirement that the Company maintain minimum liquidity and minimum unadjusted consolidated EBITDA, each as defined.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary affirmative covenants, including: (1) maintenance of legal existence and compliance with laws and regulations; (2) delivery of consolidated financial statements and other information; (3) maintenance of properties in good working order; (4) payment of taxes; (5) delivery of notices of defaults, litigation, ERISA events and material adverse changes; (6) maintenance of adequate insurance; and (7) inspection of books and records.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary negative covenants, including restrictions on: (1) the incurrence of additional debt; (2) liens and sale-leaseback transactions; (3) loans and investments; (4) guarantees and hedging agreements; (5) the sale, transfer or disposition of assets and businesses; (6) dividends on, and redemptions of, equity interests and other restricted payments, including dividends and distributions to the issuer by its subsidiaries; (7) transactions with affiliates; (8) changes in the business conducted by us; (9) payment or amendment of subordinated debt and organizational documents; and (10) maximum capital expenditures. The Fourth Amendment prohibits the payment of any dividend, redemption or other payment or distribution by the Borrowers other than distributions to the US Borrower by its subsidiaries, unless after giving effect to the dividend or other distribution, the post distribution DSCR, as defined, is greater than 1.2 to 1.0, and the US Borrower's liquidity, as defined is no less than $5.0 million, plus Borrowers remain in compliance with the other financial covenants.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, sales or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to an investment in our securities.

Indemnification Agreements

In the normal course of business, we provide customers with indemnification provisions of varying scope against claims of intellectual property infringement by third parties arising from the use of our products. Historically, costs related to these indemnification provisions have not been significant and we are unable to estimate the maximum potential impact of these indemnification provisions on our future results of operations. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with directors and certain officers and employees that will require us, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors, officers or employees. No demands have been made upon us to provide indemnification under such agreements and there are no claims that we are aware of that could have a material effect on our consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity or consolidated cash flows.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

The Company's contractual obligations and commitments outstanding as of June 30, 2019 have not changed materially since the amounts as of December 30, 2018 as set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. These obligations and commitments relate to operating leases, future debt payments, and a management services agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect amounts reported in those statements. We have made our best estimates of certain amounts contained in our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. However, application of our accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. Management believes that the estimates, assumptions, and judgments involved in the accounting policies that have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements are discussed in the Critical Accounting Policies section of Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies or uses of estimates since the date of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We have operations both within the United States and internationally, and we are exposed to market risks in the ordinary course of our business. These risks primarily include interest rate and foreign exchange risks.

Interest Rate Fluctuation Risk

Our borrowings under our Credit Agreement bear interest at fluctuating rates. In order to mitigate, in part, the potential effects of the fluctuating rates, effective June 30, 2016, we entered into a interest rate swap with a notional amount initially of $16.68 million, which decreased by $0.32 million each quarter until June 30, 2017, and began decreasing by $0.43 million each quarter until June 29, 2018, when it began decreasing by $0.53 million per quarter until the swap terminated on June 28, 2019. The interest rate swap required the Company to pay a fixed rate of 1.055 percent per annum while receiving a variable rate per annum based upon the one month LIBOR rate for a net monthly settlement based on the notional amount in effect. This swap terminated an old swap that we entered into on January 17, 2014 under our old senior credit facility. See Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements for further information.

Effective October 2, 2017, as required under the Second Amendment to the Credit Agreement, as discussed in Note 7 of our consolidated financial statements, the Company entered into another interest rate swap that requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of 1.093% percent per annum while receiving a variable interest rate per annum based on one month LIBOR for a net monthly settlement based on the notional amount in effect. The notional amount at the effective date was $1.90 million which decreases by $0.10 million each quarter until it expires on September 30, 2020.

Effective November 30, 2018, as required under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company entered into another interest rate swap that requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of 3.075 per annum while receiving a variable interest rate per annum based on one month LIBOR for a net monthly settlement based on the notional amount in effect. The notional amount at the effective date was $5,037,500 which increases by $378,125 each quarter until June 29, 2018 when the notional amount increases to $17,540,625 due to the interest rate swap from 2016 above expiring. The notional amount then decreases each quarter by $153,125 until September 30, 2020 when the notional amount increases to $17,475,000 due to the interest rate swap from 2017 above expiring. The notional amount then decreases each quarter by $431,250 until December 31, 2021, then decreases each subsequent quarter by $609,375 until it expires on November 8, 2023.

We do not believe that an increase or decrease in interest rates of 100 basis points would have a material effect on our operating results or financial condition.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management establishes and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) to ensure that the information we disclose under the Exchange Act is properly and timely reported. We provide this information to our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officers as appropriate to allow for timely decisions.

Our controls and procedures are based on assumptions. Additionally, even effective controls and procedures only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that our controls and procedures will succeed or be adhered to in all circumstances.

We have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, with the participation, and under the supervision, of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no material changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Impairment of goodwill

Under current accounting standards, if the Company's market capitalization were to decline, this would be considered a potential indicator of goodwill impairment. Any write-down of goodwill would have a negative effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company. If the stock price remains below the net book value per share, or other negative business factors exist, the Company may be required to perform another goodwill impairment analysis, which could result in an impairment of up to the entire balance of the Company’s goodwill.
