The accompanying unaudited financial statements include the condensed consolidated accounts of The Hillman Companies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively “Hillman” or the “Company”) for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to "Hillman," "we," "us," "our," or "our Company" refer to The Hillman Companies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Hillman Companies, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HMAN Intermediate II Holdings Corp., and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HMAN Group Holdings Inc. (“Holdco”).

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present information in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and applicable rules of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all information or footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Operating results for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019 do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
The significant accounting policies should be read in conjunction with the significant accounting policies included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition:
Revenue is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Sales and other taxes the Company collects concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from revenue.
The Company offers a variety of sales incentives to its customers primarily in the form of discounts, rebates, and slotting fees. Discounts are recognized in the consolidated financial statements at the date of the related sale. Rebates are based on the revenue to date and the contractual rebate percentage to be paid. A portion of the cost of the rebate is allocated to each underlying sales transaction. Discounts and rebates are included in the determination of net sales.
The Company also establishes reserves for customer returns and allowances. The reserve is established based on historical rates of returns and allowances. The reserve is adjusted quarterly based on actual experience. Returns and allowances are included in the determination of net sales.

Fastening solutions revenues consist primarily of the delivery of fasteners, anchors, and specialty products as well as in-store merchandising services for the related product category.
Home and access solutions revenues consist primarily of the delivery of keys and key accessories, builders' hardware, wall hanging, threaded rod products, letters, numbers, and signs ("LNS") as well as in-store merchandising services for the related product categories and access to our proprietary key duplicating equipment.
Consumer connected solutions revenues consist primarily of sales of keys and identification tags through self-service key duplicating machines and engraving kiosks.
Personal protective solutions revenues consist primarily of the delivery of personal protective equipment such as gloves, soft sided tool storage, and eye-wear as well as in-store merchandising services for the related product category.
The Company’s performance obligations under its arrangements with customers are providing products, in-store merchandising services, and access to key duplicating and engraving equipment. Generally, the price of the merchandising services and the access to the key duplicating and engraving equipment is included in the price of the related products. Control of products is transferred at the point in time when the customer accepts the goods. Judgment was required in applying the new revenue

(dollars in thousands)

standard in determining the time at which to recognize revenue for the in-store services and the access to key duplicating and engraving equipment. The Company’s obligation to provide in-store service and access to key duplicating and engraving equipment is satisfied when control of the related products is transferred. Therefore, consistent with the practice prior to the adoption of ASC 606, the entire amount of consideration related to the sale of products, in-store merchandising services, and access to key duplicating and engraving equipment is recognized upon the customer’s acceptance of the products. The revenues for all performance obligations are recognized upon the customer's acceptance of the products.
The costs to obtain a contract are insignificant, and generally contract terms do not extend beyond one year. Therefore, these costs are expensed as incurred. Freight and shipping costs and the cost of our in-store merchandising services teams are recognized in selling, general, and administrative expense when control over products is transferred to the customer.
The Company used the practical expedient regarding the existence of a significant financing component as payments are due in less than one year after delivery of the products.
Long Lived Assets:
The Company evaluates its long-lived assets, including definite-lived intangibles assets, for impairment including an evaluation based on the estimated undiscounted future cash flows as events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable. In the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $6,800 related to the loss on the disposal of its FastKey self-service key duplicating kiosks and related assets. No such impairment charges were recorded in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2018.

3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Subsequently, in July 2018 the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements and ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases Effective December 30, 2018, the Company adopted the comprehensive new lease standard issued by the FASB. The most significant impact was the recognition of right-of-use ("ROU") assets and liabilities for operating leases and finance leases applicable to lessees. The Company elected to utilize the transition guidance within the new standard which allows the Company to carry forward its historical lease classification(s). Operating and finance lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. As the implicit rate is not determinable in most of the Company’s leases, management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets in which it is the lessee and made an accounting policy election to not account for leases within an initial term of 12 months or less on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The expected lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise such option. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. As of December 30, 2018, Company recorded an Operating ROU Asset of $76,737 and a Finance ROU Asset of $680 within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Short-term and long-term operating lease liabilities were recorded as $12,579 and $66,703, respectively. Short-term and long-term finance lease liabilities were determined to be $442 and $524 respectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on net income. See Note 11 - Leases of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement for full lease disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The ASU sets forth a “current expected credit loss” (CECL) model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost and applies to some off-balance sheet credit exposures. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this ASU on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The amortization expense for amortizable assets including the adjustments resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates was $14,684 and $29,449 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019, respectively. Amortization expense for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2018 was $9,712 and $19,435, respectively.

The Company tests goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually. Impairment is also tested when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying values of the assets may be greater than their fair values. During the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019 and the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2018, the Company did not adjust goodwill to fair values as a result of any impairment analyses. In the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $2,125 related to the loss on the disposal of our FastKey self-service key duplicating kiosks and related intangible assets. There were no such impairment charges taken in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2018.


6. Commitments and Contingencies:

The Company self-insures its product liability, automotive, workers' compensation, and general liability losses up to $250 per occurrence. Catastrophic coverage has been purchased from third party insurers for occurrences in excess of $250 up to $60,000. The two risk areas involving the most significant accounting estimates are workers' compensation and automotive liability. Actuarial valuations performed by the Company's outside risk insurance expert were used by the Company's management to form the basis for workers' compensation and automotive liability loss reserves. The actuary contemplated the Company's specific loss history, actual claims reported, and industry trends among statistical and other factors to estimate the range of reserves required. Risk insurance reserves are comprised of specific reserves for individual claims and additional amounts expected for development of these claims, as well as for incurred but not yet reported claims. The Company believes that the liability of approximately $1,943 recorded for such risks is adequate as of June 29, 2019.


Page 12 

THE HILLMAN COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands)

As of June 29, 2019, the Company has provided certain vendors and insurers letters of credit aggregating $11,736 related to our product purchases and insurance coverage for product liability, workers’ compensation, and general liability.

The Company self-insures group health claims up to an annual stop loss limit of $250 per participant. Historical group insurance loss experience forms the basis for the recognition of group health insurance reserves. Provisions for losses expected under these programs are recorded based on an analysis of historical insurance claim data and certain actuarial assumptions. The Company believes that the liability of approximately $2,379 recorded for such risks is adequate as of June 29, 2019.

The Company imports large quantities of fastener products which are subject to customs requirements and to tariffs and quotas set by governments through mutual agreements and bilateral actions. The Company could be subject to the assessment of additional duties and interest if it or its suppliers fail to comply with customs regulations or similar laws. The U.S. Department of Commerce (the "Department”) has received requests from petitioners to conduct administrative reviews of compliance with anti-dumping duty and countervailing duty laws for certain nails products sourced from Asian countries. The Company sourced products under review from vendors in China and Taiwan during the periods selected for review. The Company accrues for the duty expense once it is determined to be probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. On March 16, 2018, the Department published updated results, which were finalized upon the completion of review of appeals in April 2018. 
Based on the final results, our liability was reduced to $2,146 at March 31, 2018 from $6,274 at December 30, 2017. The Company recorded income of $0 and $4,128 in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2018, which is included in Cost of Goods Sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss. There were no related charges in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019.

On June 3, 2019, The Hillman Group, Inc. ("Hillman Group") filed a complaint for patent infringement against KeyMe, Inc., a provider of self-service key duplication kiosks, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (Marshall Division). Hillman Group’s complaint alleges that KeyMe’s self-named and “Locksmith in a Box” key duplication kiosks infringe U.S. Patent Nos. 8,979,446 and 9,914,179, which are assigned to Hillman Group, and seeks damages and injunctive relief against KeyMe. KeyMe later filed two motions on July 25, 2019, the first seeking to dismiss Hillman Group's complaint under Rule 12(b)(3) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for improper venue, or in the alternative, to move the case from Marshall, Texas to the Southern District of New York. KeyMe’s second motion seeks to transfer the venue of the case from Texas to New York under 28 U.S.C. § 1404. It is not yet possible to assess the impact, if any, that the lawsuit will have on the Company.

In addition, legal proceedings are pending which are either in the ordinary course of business or incidental to the Company's business. Those legal proceedings incidental to the business of the Company are generally not covered by insurance or other indemnity. In the opinion of the Company's management, the ultimate resolution of the pending litigation matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position, operations, or cash flows of the Company.

7. Related Party Transactions

The Company has recorded aggregate management fee charges and expenses from CCMP Capital Advisors, LLC (“CCMP”), Oak Hill Capital Partners III, L.P., Oak Hill Capital Management Partners III, L.P. and OHCP III HC RO, L.P. (collectively, “Oak Hill Funds”) of $125 and $256 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019, respectively, and $134 and $262 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

Gregory Mann and Gabrielle Mann are employed by Hillman. The Company leases an industrial warehouse and office facility from companies under the control of the Manns. The rental expense for the lease of this facility was $88 and $175 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019, respectively, and $88 and $175 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

The Hillman Group Canada ULC, a subsidiary of Hillman, entered into three leases for five properties containing an industrial warehouse, manufacturing plant, and office facilities on February 19, 2013. The owners of the properties under one lease are relatives of Richard Paulin, who was employed by The Hillman Group Canada ULC until his retirement effective April 30, 2017, and the owner of the properties under the other two leases is a company which is owned by Richard Paulin and certain of his relatives. The rental expense incurred for these leases was $161 and $323 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019, respectively, and $167 and $337 for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2018, respectively.

8. Income Taxes:

Accounting Standards Codification 740 (“ASC 740”) requires companies to apply their estimated annual effective tax rate on a year-to-date basis in each interim period. These rates are derived, in part, from expected annual pre-tax income or loss. In the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019 and the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2018, the Company applied an estimated annual effective tax rate to the interim period pre-tax loss to calculate the income tax benefit or provision.

For the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019, the effective income tax rate was 12.8% and (3.7)%, respectively. The Company recorded income tax benefit and income tax provision for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019 of $(2,869) and $1,931, respectively. The effective tax rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019 was primarily the result of the IRC Section 163(j) interest limitation. Consistent with prior periods, the primary impact of the effective tax rate differential for the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2019 was due to the Company recording a valuation allowance on its interest limitation. In addition to the valuation allowance on the interest limitation, the effective income tax rate differed from the federal statutory tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019 due to certain non-deductible expenses, Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI"), and state and foreign income taxes.

The effective income tax rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2018 was (7.5)% and (18.6)%, respectively. The Company recorded income tax provision for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2018 of $941 and $3,747, respectively. The negative effective income tax rate for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2018 was primarily the result of the new provisions introduced by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") including the new provision on Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") and the IRC Section 163(j) interest limitation. The effective income tax rate differed from the federal statutory rate in the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2018 due to recognizing no benefit on losses in jurisdictions where valuation allowances are recorded against net deferred tax assets, certain non-deductible expenses, and several aspects of the Tax Act.


9. Restructuring

During 2018, the Company initiated plans to restructure the operations of the Canada segment. The restructuring seeks to streamline operations in the greater Toronto area by consolidating facilities, exiting certain lines of business, and rationalizing stock keeping units (“SKUs”). The intended result of the Canada restructuring will be a more streamlined and scalable operation focused on delivering optimal service and a broad offering of products across the Company's core categories. The Company expects to incur increased restructuring related charges and capital expenditures in our Canada segment over the next year as plans are finalized and implemented. Charges incurred in the current year include:

11. Leases

Lessee

The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception or modification of a contract. A contract is or contains a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means the lessee has both (a) the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and (b) the right to direct the use of the asset. The Company leases certain distribution center locations, vehicles, forklifts, computer equipment, and its corporate headquarters with expiration dates through 2032. Certain lease arrangements include escalating rent payments and options to extend the lease term. Expected lease terms include these options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. The Company's leasing arrangements do not contain material residual value guarantees nor material restrictive covenants.

Rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Rent expense totaled $5,669 and $4,429 in the thirteen weeks ended June 29, 2019 and thirteen weeks ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Rent expense totaled $11,813 and $8,824 in the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019 and twenty-six weeks ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Rent expense includes operating lease cost as well as expense for non-lease components such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes, real estate insurance, variable costs related to our leased vehicles and also short-term rental expenses.

The implicit rate is not determinable in most of the Company’s leases, as such management uses the Company’s incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The weighted average remaining lease terms and discount rates for all of our operating leases were as follows as of June 29, 2019:

Lessor

The Company has certain arrangements for key duplication equipment under which we are the lessor. These leases meet the criteria for operating lease classification. Lease income associated with these leases is not material.


12. Derivatives and Hedging:

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage our exposures to (1) interest rate fluctuations on our floating rate senior debt and (2) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company measures those instruments at fair value and recognizes changes in the fair value of derivatives in earnings in the period of change, unless the derivative qualifies as an effective hedge that offsets certain exposures.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
On January 8, 2018, the Company entered into a forward Interest Rate Swap Agreement ("2018 Swap 1") with three-year terms for notional amounts of $90,000. The forward start date of the 2018 Swap was September 30, 2018 and the termination date is June 30, 2021. The 2018 Swap 1 has a determined interest rate of 2.3% plus the applicable interest rate margin of 4.0% for an effective rate of 6.3%.
On November 8, 2018, the Company entered into another new forward Interest Rate Swap Agreement ("2018 Swap 2") with three-year terms for $60,000 notional amount. The forward start date of the 2018 Swap 2 was November 30, 2018 and the

Page 17

(dollars in thousands)

termination date is November 30, 2022. The 2018 Swap 2 has an interest rate of 2.4% plus the applicable interest rate margin of 4.0% for an effective rate of 6.4%.
The fair value of the 2018 Swaps were $3,886 as of June 29, 2019. These were reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in other non-current liabilities. An increase in other expense was recorded in the statement of comprehensive loss for the unfavorable change of $2,902 in fair value since December 29, 2018.
The fair value of 2018 Swap 1 was $394 as of December 29, 2018 and it was reported on the consolidated balance sheet in other non-current assets. The fair value of 2018 Swap 2 was $1,378 and it was reported on the consolidated balance sheet in other non-current liabilities as of December 29, 2018
The Company's interest rate swap agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment because they did not meet the provisions specified in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). Accordingly, the gain or loss on these derivatives was recognized in current earnings.
Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
During 2018 and 2019 the Company entered into multiple foreign currency forward contracts. The purpose of the Company's foreign currency forward contracts is to manage the Company's exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar.
The total notional amount of contracts outstanding was C$3,626 and C$5,790 as of June 29, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The total fair value of the outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $73 as of June 29, 2019 and was reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in other current assets. The total fair value of the outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $152 as of December 29, 2018 and was reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheet in other current liabilities. An increase in other income of $146, including contracts settled during the twenty-six weeks ended June 29, 2019, was recorded in the statement of comprehensive loss for the change in fair value from December 29, 2018.
The Company's foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment because they did not meet the provisions specified in ASC 815. Accordingly, the gain or loss on these derivatives was recognized in current earnings.
The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for speculative purposes and, therefore, holds no derivative instruments for trading purposes.
Additional information with respect to the fair value of derivative instruments is included in Note 13 - Fair Value Measurements.

13. Fair Value Measurements:

The Company uses the accounting guidance that applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. The guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1:
 
Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:
 
Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3:
 
Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions.
The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period, by level, within the fair value hierarchy:
