REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors
Curt Acquisition Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Curt Acquisition Holdings, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management’s responsibility for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Curt Acquisition Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2018, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Curt Acquisition Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2018
NOTE A - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Curt Acquisition Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Curt Manufacturing, LLC. Curt Manufacturing, LLC includes its wholly owned subsidiaries, The Hitch Store, LLC, Curt International, LLC, Curt Manufacturing, LTD and Curt Manufacturing Philippines, Inc., (collectively, the Company). The Company develops, manufactures, sells and distributes towing, electrical, aftermarket and tubular products, primarily within North America, to the automotive and truck aftermarket, the recreational vehicle market, the marine market and the trailer manufacturing market. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Revenue Recognition
Under the terms of its sales agreements with customers, the Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of products, when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, pricing is fixed, title has transferred and collection is reasonably assured.
Taxes Collected from Customers
Net sales are presented net of taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities. These taxes include all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction between the Company and a customer.
Shipping and Handling
Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling are included in net sales, and the Company includes corresponding costs for shipping and handling in cost of sales.
Cash
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts with financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. In addition, the Company has cash balances held in foreign banks at December 31, 2018. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. Management believes the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Accounts Receivable
The Company extends unsecured credit to customers from sales in the normal course of business and mitigates the associated credit risk by performing credit checks of those customers and pursuing the collections of past-due accounts. Accounts receivable are carried at the original invoice amount less an allowance for uncollectible accounts, as well as an allowance for returns. Management regularly reviews customer accounts and provides an allowance for those amounts when it considers them uncollectible. The actual amount of accounts that is not collected in a timely manner may differ from the allowance estimated by management. Balances that are still outstanding after the Company has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to accounts receivable.

Inventories, Net
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value using the first-in, first-out method. Provisions are made to reduce excess and obsolete inventories to their net realizable value.
During 2018, the Company began leasing Mexican manufacturing facilities under the “maquiladora” program. Pursuant to this program, materials and components owned by the Company are transferred to a third-party Mexican operation, where they are used to produce finished goods. The finished goods are returned to the United States and the Company reimburses the Mexican company for their manufacturing costs through a third-party vendor relationship.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. As a result of the acquisitions, property and equipment acquired were stated at fair value, which approximated net book value on acquisition date. Expenditures for additions and improvements are capitalized at cost, while replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the useful lives of the respective assets are expensed as incurred. Properties sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the property accounts, with gains or losses charged to selling, general and administrative expenses.
Depreciation is provided utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for owned assets as follows:
Asset description | Life | |||||||
Leasehold improvements | 5 - 15 years | |||||||
Machinery and equipment | 3 - 15 years | |||||||
Furniture and office equipment | 3 - 10 years | |||||||
Vehicles | 3 - 5 years |
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price paid over net assets acquired in a business combination. The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the underlying tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, at year end and between annual evaluations if events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount. Such circumstances include, but are not limited to (1) a significant change in legal factors or business climate, (2) unanticipated competition, (3) an adverse action or assessment by a regulator. When evaluating whether goodwill is impaired, the Company first compares the fair value of the reporting unit to the carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds its fair value, then the amount of the impairment loss must be measured. The impairment loss would be calculated by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount. The Company completed its annual evaluation of goodwill and concluded there was no impairment for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Impairment of Long-lived and Intangible Assets
The Company reviews its long-lived and intangible assets, except for goodwill (see above), for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If impairment indicators are present and the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the assets, the carrying values are reduced to the estimated fair value. No events were identified during the year ended December 31, 2018, which would require the Company to perform an impairment test.

December 31, 2018
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $783,471.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses are recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the period they are incurred. Research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2018 were $1,497,642.
Fair Value Measurements
Authoritative accounting guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.
Subordinated and term debt – Management believes the carrying amount approximates fair value based on current market conditions and interest rates available to the Company for similar financial instruments.
Other – Management believes the carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximates fair value as of December 31, 2018, due to the short-term nature of these accounts.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs consist of amounts paid to lenders and third parties in connection with obtaining debt financing and are recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. The costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related debt agreements. The related amortization expense is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Total amortization expense incurred for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $911,418.
The estimated amortization of deferred financing costs for years subsequent to December 31, 2018, are as follows:
2019 | $ | 396,247 | |||
2020 | 201,585 | ||||
2021 | 201,585 | ||||
2022 | 92,394 | ||||
Total | $ | 891,811 |
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently due and deferred taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The differences related primarily to inventory, prepaid expenses, property and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets and accrued liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various state jurisdictions.
As required by the uncertain tax position guidance, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the consolidated financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority.

December 31, 2018
Penalties and interest assessed by income taxing authorities are included in income tax expense, if applicable. For the year ended December 31, 2018, interest and penalties on uncertain tax liabilities are not material to the consolidated financial statements.
For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, deductions for interest expense are limited under IRC Sec 163(j) to 30% of adjusted taxable income after adding back net interest expense and certain depreciation and amortization. The Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $1,438,000 for non-deductible interest for the year ended December 31, 2018. The Company also recorded a valuation allowance for the same amount as of December 31, 2018, as shown in note I.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as a new topic, Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606. The objective of ASU No. 2014-09 is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle is that a company should 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 and services. In applying the new standard, companies will perform a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. ASU No. 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers, except those that are within the scope of other topics in the ASC. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and shall be applied using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to not early adopt this standard. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and has not determined the impact that this standard may have on its consolidated financial statements or decided on the method of adoption.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires organizations that lease assets (lessees) to recognize the assets and related liabilities for the rights and obligations created by the leases on the balance sheet for leases with terms exceeding 12 months. The standard defines a lease as a contract or part of a contract that conveys the right to control the use of identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The lessee in a lease will be required to initially measure the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments, as well as capitalize initial direct costs as part of the right-of-use asset. In October 2019, the FASB elected to defer the effective date of ASU No. 2016-02 by one year. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, and has not determined the impact on its consolidated financial statements at this time.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business”. ASU No. 2017-01 clarifies the definition of a business and requires that an entity apply certain criteria in order to determine when a set of assets and activities qualifies as a business. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has elected to early adopt the guidance for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Credit Facility
In association with the acquisition on March 4, 2014, the Company entered into a new credit facility with Bank of Montreal and several other lenders composed of (1) a term loan of $67,000,000, (2) a revolving credit loan that has a maximum draw of $15,000,000 and (3) a delayed draw term loan with a maximum draw of $20,000,000.
