U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of U.S.
Concrete, Inc. and its subsidiaries and have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Some information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SECs rules
and regulations. In the opinion of our management, all adjustments necessary to state fairly the
information in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been included.
Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of our results expected
for the year ending December 31, 2010.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and related notes in our annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2009 (the 2009 Form 10-K). However, we applied the accounting under
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 852
(ASC 852), Reorganizations, as of August 31, 2010 (see Note 3). Therefore, our condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2010, which is referred to as that of the
Successor company, includes adjustments resulting from the reorganization and application of ASC
852 and is not comparable to our balance sheet as of December 31, 2009, which is referred to as
that of the Predecessor company. References to the Successor company in the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto refer to the Company after giving effect to
the reorganization and application of ASC 852. References to the Predecessor company refer to the
Company prior to the reorganization and application of ASC 852.
In August 2010, we entered into a redemption agreement to redeem our 60% interest in our
Michigan subsidiary, Superior Materials Holdings, LLC (Superior). This redemption was finalized
and closed on September 30, 2010 and is discussed in Note 6. The results of operations of Superior,
net of the minority owners 40% interest, have been included in discontinued operations in our
condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. We reflect the minority
owners 40% interest in income, net assets and cash flows of Superior as a non-controlling interest
in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
The preparation of financial statements and accompanying notes in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) requires management to make
estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions that we consider significant in the preparation of
our financial statements include those related to our allowance for doubtful accounts, goodwill,
accruals for self-insurance, income taxes, reserves for inventory obsolescence and the valuation
and useful lives of property, plant and equipment.
2. EMERGENCE FROM CHAPTER 11
Developments Leading to Chapter 11
Since the middle of 2006, the United States building materials construction market has become
increasingly challenging. Currently, the construction industry, particularly the ready-mixed
concrete industry, is characterized by significant overcapacity, fierce competitive activity and
declining sales volumes. From 2007 through 2010, we have implemented a variety of cost reduction
initiatives, including workforce reductions, suspension of employee benefits, temporary plant
idling, rolling stock dispositions and divestitures of nonperforming business units to reduce our
operating and fixed costs.
Despite these initiatives, our business and financial performance were severely affected by
the overall downturn in construction activity, particularly the steep decline in single-family home
starts in the U.S. residential construction markets, the turmoil in the global credit markets and
the U.S. economic downturn. These conditions have had a significant impact on demand for our
products since the middle of 2006 and continuing into the third quarter of 2010. We have also
experienced pricing pressure and our ready-mixed concrete pricing has declined in 2010 compared to
2009 in most of our markets, which has negatively impacted our gross margins.
The continued weakening economic conditions, including ongoing softness in residential
construction, further reduction in demand in the commercial sector and delays in anticipated public
works projects in many of our markets, combined to cause a significant reduction in our liquidity.
We retained legal and financial advisors to assist us in reviewing the strategic and financing
alternatives available to us. We also engaged in discussions with the holders of our previously
outstanding 8.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the Old Notes) regarding a permanent
restructuring of our capital structure.
8
U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We reached an agreement with a substantial majority of the holders of our Old Notes on the
terms of a comprehensive debt restructuring plan prior to filing for Chapter 11. To implement the
restructuring, on April 29, 2010 (the Petition Date), we and
certain of our subsidiaries (collectively, the Debtors) filed voluntary petitions in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the Bankruptcy Court) seeking relief
under the provisions of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code).
The Bankruptcy Court ordered joint administration of the Chapter 11 Cases under the lead case: In
re U.S. Concrete, Inc., Case No. 10-11407 (the Chapter 11 Cases). The restructuring did not
involve Superiors operations.
Emergence from Chapter 11
On July 29, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Debtors Joint Plan of
Reorganization, pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan of Reorganization was
originally filed with the Bankruptcy Court on the Petition Date and supplemented by the Supplement
to Debtors Joint Plan of Reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code filed with
the Bankruptcy Court on July 19, 2010 and July 22, 2010, and amended on July 27, 2010 (as so
amended and supplemented, the Plan). On August 31, 2010 (the Effective Date), the Debtors
consummated their reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code and the Plan became effective.
The consummation, on the Effective Date, of our reorganization under the Plan provided for the
following:
|
|
|
All outstanding obligations under our Old Notes were cancelled and the indenture
governing the Old Notes was terminated; |
|
|
|
|
All amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Guarantee
Agreement (the DIP Credit Agreement) were paid and such agreement was terminated in
accordance with its terms; |
|
|
|
|
All of our then existing equity securities, including our common stock (the Old
Common Stock), all options to purchase the Old Common Stock and all rights to purchase
the Companys Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock pursuant to a Rights
Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2009, were cancelled. Accordingly, certain of our
equity incentive plans in place prior to the Effective Date, and all awards granted
under such plans, were terminated. The following equity incentive plans were

3. FRESH START ACCOUNTING AND EFFECTS OF THE PLAN
As required by U.S. GAAP, effective as of August 31, 2010, we adopted fresh start accounting
following the guidance of FASB ASC 852. Fresh start accounting results in the Company becoming a
new entity for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, our consolidated financial statements for
periods prior to August 31, 2010 are not comparable to consolidated financial statements presented
on or after August 31, 2010. Fresh start accounting was required upon emergence from Chapter 11
because holders of voting shares immediately before confirmation of the Plan received less than 50% of the
emerging entity and the reorganization value of our assets immediately before confirmation of our
Plan was less than our post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. Fresh start accounting results
in a new basis of accounting and reflects the allocation of our estimated fair value to underlying
assets and liabilities. Our estimates of fair value are inherently subject to significant
uncertainties and contingencies beyond our reasonable control. Accordingly, there can be no
assurance that the estimates, assumptions, valuations, appraisals and financial projections will be
realized, and actual results could vary materially. Moreover, the market value of our common stock
may differ materially from the equity valuation for accounting purposes. In addition, the
cancellation of debt income and the allocation of the attribute reduction for tax purposes is an
estimate and will not be finalized until the 2010 tax return is filed. Any change resulting from
this estimate could impact deferred taxes.
Under ASC 852, the Successor Company must determine a value to be assigned to the equity of
the emerging company as of the date of adoption of fresh-start accounting, which for us is August
31, 2010, the date the Debtors emerged from Chapter 11. To facilitate this calculation we first
determined the enterprise value of the Successor Company. The valuation methods included (i) a
discounted cash flow analysis, considering a range of the weighted average cost of capital between
14.5% and 15.5% and multiples of projected earnings of between 6.5 and 7.5 times for its terminal
value, (ii) a market multiples analysis, considering multiple ranges of between 12.6 and 13.6 times
based on a one year forward multiple and 10.5 and 11.5 times based on a two year forward multiple
(iii) precedent transaction multiples of between 7 and 8 times. This analysis resulted in an
estimated enterprise value of between $180.0 million and $208.0 million. We utilized an enterprise
value for fresh start accounting near the mid-point of this range.
The estimated enterprise value and the equity value are highly dependent on the achievement of
the future financial results contemplated in the projections that were set forth in the Plan. The
estimates and assumptions made in the valuation are inherently subject to significant
uncertainties. The primary assumptions for which there is a reasonable possibility of the
occurrence of a variation that would have significantly affected the reorganization value include
the assumptions regarding revenue growth, operating expenses, the amount and timing of capital
expenditures and the discount rate utilized.
Fresh-start accounting reflects the value of the Successor Company as determined in the
confirmed Plan. Under fresh-start accounting, our asset values are remeasured and allocated based
on their respective fair values in conformity with the purchase method of accounting for business
combinations in FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations (FASB ASC 805). Liabilities existing
as of the Effective Date, other than deferred taxes and derivatives, were recorded at the present
value of amounts expected to be paid using appropriate risk adjusted interest rates. Deferred taxes
and derivatives were determined in conformity with applicable accounting standards. Predecessor
accumulated depreciation, accumulated amortization and retained deficit were eliminated.
The following fresh start condensed consolidated balance sheet presents the implementation of
the Plan and the adoption of fresh start accounting as of August 31, 2010, the Effective Date.
Reorganization adjustments have been recorded within the condensed consolidated balance sheet to
reflect the effects of the Plan, including discharge of liabilities subject to compromise and the
adoption of fresh start accounting in accordance with FASB ASC 852.

In addition to the amounts reflected in reorganization items in the above table, prior to the
Petition Date, we incurred professional fees related to our reorganization of approximately $5.0
million that are included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the eight-month
period ended August 31, 2010 in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally,
we wrote off approximately $1.6 million of unamortized deferred financing costs during the second
quarter of 2010 related to our Prepetition Credit Agreement that has been included in interest
expense in the eight-month period ended August 31, 2010 in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of
Operations. The amounts due under the Prepetition Credit Agreement were paid in full with a portion
of the proceeds from our DIP Credit Agreement. For the one-month period from September 1 through
September 30, 2010, we incurred approximately $0.6 million of professional fees related to our
reorganization that is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
5. ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSITIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Superior Redemption
Certain
of our subsidiaries (the Joint Venture Partners) and Edw. C. Levy Co. (Levy) were
members of Superior and each held Shares of Superior, as defined in the Superior Operating
Agreement, dated April 1, 2007 (the Operating Agreement). In August 2010, we entered into the
Redemption Agreement (the Redemption Agreement) with the Joint Venture Partners, Superior and
Levy, regarding the redemption of the Joint Venture Partners Shares by Superior (the
Redemption). In September 2010, we entered into a Joinder Agreement to the Redemption Agreement
with the Joint Venture Partners, Superior, Levy, VCNA Prairie, Inc. (the New Joint Venture
Partner) and Votorantim Cement North America, Inc. (VCNA), whereby the New Joint Venture Partner
and VCNA became parties to the Redemption Agreement. On September 30, 2010, the Company completed
the disposition of its interest in Superior pursuant to the Redemption Agreement.
Pursuant
to the Redemption Agreement, as consideration for the Redemption, Superior, Levy,
the New Joint Venture Partner, and VCNA (the Indemnifying Parties) agreed to indemnify us and the Joint
Venture Partners from, among other items: (i) facts or circumstances that occur on or after the
closing of the Redemption (the Closing) and which relate to the post-closing ownership or
operation of Superior; (ii) the Agreement Approving Asset Sale with Central States, Southeast Areas
Pension Fund, dated March 30, 2007; (iii) the Companys obligation to provide retiree medical
coverage to current and former Clawson employees of Superior and its affiliates pursuant to the
collective bargaining agreement between Superior and the Teamsters Local Union No. 614; and (iv)
Superiors issuance of 500 Shares to the New Joint Venture Partner.
At the closing of the Redemption on September 30, 2010, the Company and the Joint Venture
Partners collectively paid $640,000 in cash and issued a $1.5 million promissory note (the
Promissory Note) to Superior as partial consideration for the indemnification and other
consideration provided by the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to the Redemption Agreement.
The Promissory Note does not bear interest and requires the Company and the Joint Venture
Partners to pay Superior $750,000 on or before each of January 1, 2011 and January 1, 2012. The
Promissory Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, without premium, penalty or additional
interest. We recognized a loss of approximately $11.6 million from redeeming our interest in
Superior. We and the Joint Venture Partners have also agreed, for a period of five (5) years after
the Closing not to compete with Superior in the State of Michigan, subject to certain exceptions.
The results of Superior have been included in discontinued operations for the periods
presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See Note 6 for more information.

During the second quarter of 2010, we made the decision to dispose of some of our transport
equipment in northern California and as such have classified these assets as held for sale. These
assets are recorded at the estimated fair value less costs to sell of approximately $0.9 million.
There were no assets held for sale as of December 31, 2009.
In September 2009, we sold our ready-mixed concrete plants in Sacramento, California for
approximately $6.0 million, plus a payment for inventory on hand at closing. This sale resulted in
a pre-tax loss of approximately $3.0 million after the allocation of approximately $3.0 million of
goodwill related to these assets.
In May 2009, we acquired substantially all the assets of a concrete recycling business in
Queens, New York. We used borrowings under our revolving credit facility to fund the cash purchase
price of approximately $4.5 million.
6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As disclosed in Note 5, we closed on the redemption of our 60% interest in Superior in
September 2010. Accordingly, there were no assets and liabilities of Superior reflected on the
consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2010. In August 2010, we entered into the Redemption
Agreement and in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance, wrote the net assets of this
subsidiary down to the fair value less costs to sell. Additionally, we have presented the results
of operations for all periods as discontinued operations. The following summarizes the results of
operations included in discontinued operations:

The
estimated fair value of our debt at September 30, 2010
approximated its carrying value and at December 31, 2009 was
$188.7 million.
Senior Secured Credit Facility due 2014
On the Effective Date of the Plan, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a new
credit agreement, dated as of August 31, 2010 (the New Credit Agreement), which provides for a
$75.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the Revolving Facility). The New Credit
Agreement matures in August 2014. As of September 30, 2010, we had outstanding borrowings of $5.0
million and $21.4 of undrawn standby letters of credit under the Revolving Facility. The
availability under the Revolving Facility was approximately $33.5 million at September 30, 2010.
Up to $30 million of the Revolving Facility is available for the issuance of letters of
credit, and any such issuance of letters of credit will reduce the amount available for loans under
the Revolving Facility. Advances under the Revolving Facility are limited by a borrowing base of
(a) 85% of the face amount of eligible accounts receivable plus (b) the lesser of (i) 85% of the
net orderly liquidation value (as determined by the most recent appraisal) of eligible inventory
and (ii) the sum of (A) 50% of the eligible inventory (other than eligible aggregates inventory)
and (B) 65% of the eligible aggregates inventory plus (c) the lesser of (i) $15.0 million and (ii)
the sum of (A) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value (as determined by the most recent
appraisal) of eligible trucks plus (B) 80% of the cost of newly acquired eligible trucks since the
date of the latest appraisal of eligible trucks minus (C) the depreciation amount applicable to
eligible trucks since the date of the latest appraisal of eligible trucks minus (d) such reserves
as the Administrative Agent may establish from time to time in its permitted discretion. The
Administrative Agent may, in its permitted discretion, reduce the advance rates set forth above,
adjust reserves or reduce one or more of the other elements used in computing the borrowing base.
In addition, prior to the delivery of our financial statements for the fiscal quarter ended
September 30, 2011, there will be an availability block (the Availability Block) of $15.0 million
and after such date, unless the fixed charge coverage ratio for any trailing twelve month period is
greater than or equal to 1.00:1.00, there will be an Availability Block of $15.0 million, to be
increased monthly by $1.0 million up to a maximum of $20.0 million. Beginning with the fiscal
month in which the Availability Block is eliminated and with respect to each fiscal month
thereafter, at any time that availability under the Revolving Facility is less than $15.0 million,
the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00:1.00 until availability is
greater than or equal to $15.0 million for a period of 30 consecutive days.
Under
the New Credit Agreement, our capital expenditures may not exceed (i)
$15.0 million in the
aggregate from the Effective Date (August 31, 2010) through and including December 31, 2010 and
(ii) 7.0% of our consolidated annual revenue for the trailing twelve month period ending on the
last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter (commencing with the fiscal quarter ended March 31,
2011); provided that the amount of any capital expenditures permitted to be made in respect of the
trailing twelve month period ending on March 31, 2011 shall be
increased by a maximum of $7.5 million
of the unused amount of capital expenditures that were permitted to be made during the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2010. Our capital expenditures from the Effective Date through September 30,
2010 were approximately $0.5 million. The Revolving Facility requires us to comply with certain
other customary affirmative and negative covenants, and contains customary events of default.

U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At our option, loans may be maintained from time to time at an interest rate equal to the
Eurodollar-based rate (LIBOR) or the applicable domestic rate (CB Floating Rate). The CB
Floating Rate shall be the greater of (x) the interest rate per annum publicly announced from time
to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate and (y) the interest rate per annum equal to
the sum of 1.0% per annum plus the adjusted LIBOR rate for a one month interest period, in each
case plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin on loans is 2.75% in the case of loans
bearing interest at the CB Floating Rate and 3.75% in the case of loans bearing interest at the
LIBOR rate. Issued and outstanding letters of credit are subject to a fee equal to the applicable
margin then in effect for LIBOR loans, a fronting fee equal to 0.20% per annum on the stated amount
of such letter of credit, and customary charges associated with the issuance and administration of
letters of credit. We will also pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the Revolving
Facility in an amount equal to 0.75% per annum. Upon any event of default, at the direction of the
required lenders under the Revolving Facility, all outstanding loans and the amount of all other
obligations owing under the Revolving Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.0%
plus the rate otherwise applicable to such loans or other obligations.
Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility are prepayable, and the commitments under
the Revolving Facility may be permanently reduced, without penalty. There are mandatory prepayments
of principal in connection with (i) the incurrence of certain indebtedness, (ii) certain equity
issuances and (iii) certain asset sales or other dispositions (including as a result of casualty or
condemnation). Mandatory prepayments are applied to repay outstanding loans without a
corresponding permanent reduction in commitments under the Revolving Facility and are subject to
the terms of an Intercreditor Agreement.
In connection with the New Credit Agreement, on the Effective Date, we and certain of our
subsidiaries entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement (the Security Agreement) with the
Administrative Agent. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, all obligations under the Revolving
Facility will be secured by (i) a first-priority perfected lien (subject to certain exceptions) in
substantially all of our and certain of our subsidiaries present and after-acquired inventory
(including as-extracted collateral), accounts, certain specified mixer trucks, deposit accounts,
securities accounts, commodities accounts, letter of credit rights, cash and cash equivalents,
general intangibles (other than intellectual property and equity in subsidiaries), instruments,
documents, supporting obligations and related books and records and all proceeds and products of
the foregoing and (ii) a perfected second-priority lien (subject to certain exceptions) on
substantially all other present and after acquired property (including, without limitation,
material owned real estate).
Convertible Secured notes due 2015
On the Effective Date of the Plan, we issued $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.5%
Convertible Secured Notes due 2015 (the Convertible Notes) pursuant to a subscription offering
contemplated by the Plan. The Convertible Notes are governed by an indenture (the Indenture),
dated as of August 31, 2010. Under the terms of the Indenture, the Convertible Notes bear interest
at a rate of 9.5% per annum and will mature on August 31, 2015. Interest payments will be payable
quarterly in cash in arrears. Additionally, we recorded a discount of approximately $13.6 million
related to an embedded derivative that was bifurcated and separately
valued in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance (See Note 9). This
discount will be accreted over the term of the note and included in interest expense.
The Convertible Notes will be convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time on or
prior to maturity, into shares of our new common stock (the Common Stock), at an initial
conversion rate of 95.23809524 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible
Notes (the Conversion Rate). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment to prevent dilution
resulting from stock splits, stock dividends, business combinations or similar events. In
connection with any such conversion, holders of the Convertible Notes to be converted shall also
have the right to receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Convertible Notes to the date of
conversion (the Accrued Interest). We may elect to pay the Accrued Interest in cash or in shares
of Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
In addition, if a Fundamental Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture) occurs prior
to the maturity date, in addition to any conversion rights the holders of Convertible Notes may
have, each holder of Convertible Notes will have (i) a make-whole provision calculated as provided
in the Indenture pursuant to which each holder may be entitled to additional shares of Common Stock
upon conversion (the Make Whole Premium), and (ii) an amount equal to the interest on such
Convertible Notes that would have been payable from the date of the occurrence of such Fundamental
Change of Control (the Fundamental Change of Control Date) through the third anniversary of the
Effective Date, plus any accrued and unpaid interest from the Effective Date to the Fundamental
Change of Control Date (the amount in this clause (ii), the Make Whole Payment). We may elect to
pay the Make Whole Payment in cash or in shares of Common Stock.
If the closing price of the Common Stock exceeds 150% of the Conversion Price (defined as
$1,000 divided by the Conversion Rate) then in effect for at least 20 trading days during any consecutive 30-day trading period
(the Conversion Event), we may provide, at our option, a written notice (the Conversion Event
Notice) of the occurrence of the Conversion Event to each holder of Convertible Notes in
accordance with the Indenture. Except as set forth in an Election Notice (as defined below), the
right to convert
16
U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Convertible Notes with respect to the occurrence of the Conversion Event shall
terminate on the date that is 46 days following the date of the Conversion Event Notice (the
Conversion Termination Date), such that the holder shall have a 45-day period in which to convert
its Convertible Notes up to the amount of the Conversion Cap (as defined below). Any Convertible
Notes not converted prior to the Conversion Termination Date as a result of the Conversion Cap
shall be, at the holders election and upon written notice to the Company (the Election Notice),
converted into shares of Common Stock on a date or dates prior to the date that is 180 days
following the Conversion Termination Date. The Conversion Cap means the number of shares of
Common Stock into which the Convertible Notes are convertible and that would cause the related
holder to beneficially own (as such term is defined in Section 13 of the Exchange Act and Rules
13d-3 and 13d-5 thereunder) more than 9.9% of the Common Stock at any time outstanding.
Any Convertible Notes not otherwise converted prior to the Conversion Termination Date or
specified for conversion in an Election Notice shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at our
election at any time prior to maturity at par plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the
Conversion Termination Date.
The Indenture contains certain covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things,
|
|
|
incur additional indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock;
|
|
|
|
|
pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our stock or
subordinated indebtedness or make investments; |
|
|
|
|
sell assets and issue capital stock of our restricted subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
|
incur liens; |
|
|
|
|
enter into transactions with affiliates; and |
|
|
|
|
consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. |
The Convertible Notes will be guaranteed by each of our existing and future direct or indirect
domestic restricted subsidiaries. In connection with the Indenture, on August 31, 2010, we and
certain of our subsidiaries entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement (the Pledge and Security
Agreement) with the noteholder collateral agent. Pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement,
the Convertible Notes and related guarantees will be secured by first-priority liens on certain of
the property and assets directly owned by the Company and each of the guarantors, including
material owned real property, fixtures, intellectual property, capital stock of subsidiaries and
certain equipment, subject to permitted liens (including a second-priority lien in favor of the
Administrative Agent) with certain exceptions. Obligations under the Revolving Facility and those
in respect of hedging and cash management obligations owed to the lenders (and their affiliates)
that are a party to the Revolving Facility (collectively, the Revolving Facility Obligations)
will be secured by a second-priority lien on such collateral.
The Convertible Notes and related guarantees will also be secured by a second-priority lien on
the assets of the Company and the guarantors securing the Revolving Facility Obligations on a
first-priority basis, including inventory (including as extracted collateral), accounts, certain
specified mixture trucks, general intangibles (other than collateral securing the Convertible Notes
on a first-priority basis), instruments, documents, cash, deposit accounts, securities accounts,
commodities accounts, letter of credit rights and all supporting obligations and related books and
records and all proceeds and products of the foregoing, subject to permitted liens and certain
exceptions.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, we entered into a registration
rights agreement, dated August 31, 2010 (the Registration Rights Agreement), under which we
agreed, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to register the Convertible Notes
and the Common Stock into which the Convertible Notes convert. Under the Registration Rights
Agreement, we are required to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a shelf registration
statement covering the resale by the Electing Holders (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) of Convertible Notes that are Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) by the first business day following the date that is 366 days following the
Effective Date, and to file a shelf registration statement covering the resale of shares of Common
Stock that constitute Registrable Securities by the Electing Holders, on a delayed or continuous
basis, within 180 days of the Issue Date. We are required to pay special interest if we fail to
file either shelf registration statement by the applicable deadline or if any registration
statement required by the Registration Rights Agreement ceases to be effective for more than 45
days, with respect to any Registrable Securities that are Convertible Notes and are Restricted
Securities (as defined in the Indenture).

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DIP Credit Agreement and Prepetition Senior Secured Credit Facility
Effective as of May 3, 2010, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into the DIP Credit
Agreement which provided us with a debtor-in-possession term loan and revolving credit facility
during Chapter 11. The DIP Credit Agreement was paid in full and cancelled on the Effective Date of
the Plan. Our senior secured credit facility initially due 2011, was paid in full on May 3, 2010
with funds obtained under our DIP Credit Agreement and immediately terminated.
Old Notes
As discussed in Note 2, we reached an agreement with a substantial majority of the holders of
the Old Notes on the terms of a comprehensive debt restructuring plan prior to April 30, 2010, the
date an event of default would have occurred for non-payment of interest on the Old Notes. On the
Effective Date, the Old Notes were cancelled and the holders received approximately 11.9 million
shares of new Common Stock in our reorganized company.
During the first quarter of 2009, we purchased $7.4 million aggregate principal amount of the
Old Notes in open market transactions for approximately $2.8 million plus accrued interest of
approximately $0.3 million through the dates of purchase. We recorded a gain of approximately $4.5
million as a result of these open market transactions after writing off $0.1 million of previously
deferred financing costs associated with the pro-rata amount of the Old Notes purchased. During
the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we purchased an additional $5.0 million principal amount of the
Old Notes for approximately $2.0 million. This resulted in a gain of approximately $2.9 million in
April 2009, after writing off $0.1 million of previously deferred financing costs associated with
the pro-rata amount of the Old Notes purchased. We used cash on hand and borrowings under our
Prepetition Senior Secured Credit Facility to fund these transactions.
Superior Credit Facility and Subordinated Debt
As discussed in Note 5, we redeemed our 60% interest in Superior in September 2010. As a
result, the debt balance under the Superior Credit Facility at September 30, 2010 is zero. The
outstanding borrowings under the Superior Credit Facility at December 31, 2009 were $5.6 million.
As a condition precedent to the initial advance under the Superior Credit Agreement, U.S. Concrete
Inc. and the Levy were required to fund $3.6 million to Superior in the form of cash equity
contributions, representing a prefunding of the respective obligations under certain support
letters entered into in connection with the previous Superior Credit Agreement for the period from
January 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010. Our portion of this cash obligation was $1.1 million.
Additionally, we made capital contributions in the amount of $2.6 million during the first quarter
of 2010 in lieu of cash payment of related party payables by Superior. In the first quarter of
2009, we provided subordinated debt capital in the amount of $2.4 million in lieu of receiving cash
payment of related party payables from Superior. This subordinated debt was eliminated when
Superior was consolidated with U.S. Concrete. Additionally, the minority partner, Levy, provided
$1.6 million of subordinated debt capital to fund operations during the first quarter of 2009.
During the third quarter of 2009, U.S. Concrete and Levy converted the subordinated debt capital
into capital contributions to Superior.
9. DERIVATIVES
General
We are exposed to certain risks relating to our ongoing business operations. However,
derivative instruments are not used to hedge these risks. We are required to account for
derivative instruments as a result of the issuance of warrants and Convertible Notes associated
with the emergence from Chapter 11 on August 31, 2010. None of our derivative contracts manage
business risk or are executed for speculative purposes. As of
September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009, we did not have
any derivative instruments.
Our derivative instruments are summarized as follows:

Fair Value Disclosures
Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset
or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the
measurement date. Accounting guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring
fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs
by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs
market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market
data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our
assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The
guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such
as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not
active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data
for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are
significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input
that is significant to the fair value measurements. We review the fair value hierarchy
classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in
a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy.
The following table presents our fair value hierarchy for liabilities measured at
fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2010 (in thousands):

The derivative liabilities were valued using a model for instruments with the option to
convert into common equity. Inputs into the model were based upon observable market data where
possible. Where observable market data did not exist, the Company modeled inputs based upon
similar observable inputs.

Our other financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade
payables and long-term debt. We consider the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade
receivables and trade payables to be representative of their respective fair values because of
their short-term maturities or expected settlement dates. The carrying value of outstanding
amounts under our revolving credit facility approximates fair value due to the floating interest
rate and the fair value of our Convertible Notes approximates
carrying value
at September 30, 2010.
10. INCOME TAXES
We recorded income tax expense allocated to continuing operations equal to
approximately $1.5 million and $1.6 million for the two and eight month periods ended
August 31, 2010, respectively. Our income taxes for the one month period ended September 30,
2010 was near zero. Our effective tax rate differs substantially from the federal statutory rate
primarily due to the application of a valuation allowance that reduced the recognized benefit of
our deferred tax assets. In addition, certain state income taxes are calculated on bases different than
pre-tax income (loss). This resulted in recording income tax expense in certain
states that experience a pre-tax loss.
In accordance with GAAP, the recognized value of deferred tax assets must be reduced to
the amount that is more likely than not to be realized in future periods. The ultimate realization
of the benefit of deferred tax assets from deductible temporary differences or tax carryovers depends on the
generation of sufficient taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
We considered the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning
strategies in making this assessment. Based on these considerations, we relied upon the reversal of certain deferred
tax liabilities to realize a portion of our deferred tax assets and established a valuation allowance as of August 31,
2010 and September 30, 2010 for other deferred tax assets because of uncertainty regarding their ultimate realization.
Our total net deferred tax liability as of August 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 was $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
We reorganized pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code under the terms of our Plan with an effective
date of August 31, 2010 (See Note 2). Under our Plan, our Old Notes were cancelled, giving rise to
cancellation of indebtedness income (CODI). The Internal Revenue
Code (IRC) provides that CODI arising under
a plan of bankruptcy reorganization is excludible from taxable income, but the debtor must reduce certain of its
tax attributes by the amount of CODI realized under the Plan. Based on the estimate of CODI and required tax attribute
reduction, we believe the effects of the Plan will not cause a significant change in our recorded deferred tax liability.
Current estimates show that the required reduction in tax attributes, or deferred tax assets, will be accompanied by a
corresponding release of valuation allowance that is currently reducing the carrying value of such tax attributes. The
allocation of the tax attribute reduction is an estimate and will not be finalized until
the 2010 tax return, which includes
the effective date of the Plan, is filed. Any changes in the estimate could impact deferred taxes.
We underwent a change in ownership for purposes of Section 382 of the IRC as a result of our Plan
and emergence from Chapter 11 on August 31, 2010. As a result, the amount of our pre-change net operating
losses NOLs) and other tax attributes that are available to offset future taxable income are subject to an
annual limitation. The annual limitation is based on the value of the corporation as of the effective date of the Plan.
The ownership change and the resulting annual limitation on use of NOLs are not expected to result in the expiration of our
NOL carryforwards if we are able to generate sufficient future taxable income within the carryforward periods. However, the
limitation on the amount of NOL available to offset taxable income in a specific year may result in the payment of income taxes
before all NOLs have been utilized. Additionally, a subsequent ownership change may result in further limitation on the ability
to utilize existing NOLs and other tax attributes
We made income tax payments of approximately $0.3 million during the eight month period ended August 31,
2010 and no income tax payments were made during the one month period ended September 30, 2010. We made
income tax payments of approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million during the three month and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2009.

U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In connection with our emergence from Chapter 11, all existing shares of the Predecessor
company were cancelled on August 31, 2010. Under our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, we are authorized to issue
100.0 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of which 11.9 million shares were
issued pursuant to the Plan and 2.2 million shares were reserved for the Incentive Plan.
Additionally, we are authorized to issue blank check preferred stock, which may be issued
from time to time in one or more series upon authorization by the Board. The Board, without further
approval of the stockholders, is authorized to fix the dividend rights and terms, conversion
rights, voting rights, redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences, and any other rights,
preferences and restrictions applicable to each series of the Preferred Stock. The issuance of
Preferred Stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other
corporate purposes could, among other things, adversely affect the voting power of the holders of
the Common Stock and, under certain circumstances, make it more difficult for a third party to gain
control of us, discourage bids for the Common Stock at a premium or otherwise affect the market
price of the Common Stock. There was no preferred stock issued or outstanding as of September 30,
2010.
12. WARRANTS
On August 31, 2010, we issued warrants to acquire Common Stock (the New Warrants) in two
tranches: Class A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 1.5 million shares of Common
Stock (the Class A Warrants) and Class B Warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 1.5
million shares of Common Stock (the Class B Warrants). The New Warrants were issued to holders
of our Old Common Stock pro rata based on a holders stock ownership as of the Effective Date.
These warrants have been included in derivative liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance
sheet in accordance with authoritative accounting guidance (see Note 9).
In connection with the issuance of the Class A Warrants, we entered into a Class A Warrant
Agreement (the Class A Warrant Agreement) with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as
warrant agent. Subject to the terms of the Class A Warrant Agreement, holders of Class A Warrants
are entitled to purchase shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $22.69 per share. In
connection with the issuance of the Class B Warrants, the Company entered into a Class B Warrant
Agreement (the Class B Warrant Agreement and, together with the Class A Warrant Agreement, the
Warrant Agreements) with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent. Subject to
the terms of the Class B Warrant Agreement, holders of Class B Warrants are entitled to purchase
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $26.68 per share. Subject to the terms of the
Warrant Agreements, both classes of New Warrants will have a seven-year term and will expire on the
seventh anniversary of the Effective Date. The New Warrants may be exercised for cash or on a net
issuance basis.
If, at any time before the expiration date of the New Warrants, we pay or declare a dividend
or make a distribution on the Common Stock payable in shares of our capital stock, subdivisions or
combinations of our outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater or lesser number of shares or
issue any shares of our capital stock by reclassification of Common Stock, then the exercise price
and number of shares issuable upon exercise of the New Warrants will be adjusted so that the
holders of the New Warrants will be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares
that they would have received as a result of the event if their New Warrants had been exercised
immediately before the event. In addition, if we distribute to holders of the Common Stock an
Extraordinary Distribution (defined in each Warrant Agreement to include assets, securities or
warrants to purchase securities), then the exercise price of the New Warrants will be decreased by
the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or assets paid or distributed on
each share of Common Stock; however, no adjustment to the exercise price will be made if, at the
time of an Extraordinary Distribution, we make the same distribution to holders of New Warrants as
we make to holders of Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock for which
the New Warrants are exercisable.
In the event of a Fundamental Change (defined in each Warrant Agreement to include
transactions such as mergers, consolidations, sales of assets, tender offers, exchange offers,
reorganizations, reclassifications, compulsory share exchanges or liquidations in which all or
substantially all of the outstanding Common Stock is converted into or exchanged for stock, other
securities, cash or assets), if the consideration paid consists 90% or more of publicly traded
securities, each holder of a New Warrant will have the right upon any subsequent exercise to
receive the kind and amount of stock, other securities, cash and assets that such holder would have
received if the New Warrant had been exercised immediately prior to such Fundamental Change. If a
Fundamental Change occurs (other than a Fundamental Change in which the consideration paid consists
at least 90% of publicly traded securities), then each holder of a New Warrant will be entitled to
receive an amount equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in each of the Warrant Agreements) of
their New Warrant on the date the Fundamental Change is consummated.
No adjustment in the exercise price of New Warrants shall be required unless such adjustment
would require an increase or decrease of at least $0.05 in the exercise price; provided that any
adjustments that are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment.

SHARES USED IN COMPUTING NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is
computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during the period after giving effect to all potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the
period.
For the one month period ending September 30, 2010, our potentially dilutive shares include
the shares underlying our Convertible Notes. For the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2009 our potentially dilutive shares included stock options and stock awards. These potentially
dilutive shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the one month
period ended September 30, 2010 and the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009
because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
From time to time, and currently, we are subject to various claims and litigation brought by
employees, customers and other third parties for, among other matters, personal injuries, property
damages, product defects and delay damages that have, or allegedly have, resulted from the conduct
of our operations. As a result of these types of claims and litigation, we must periodically
evaluate the probability of damages being assessed against us and the range of possible outcomes.
In each reporting period, if we determine that the likelihood of damages being assessed against us
is probable, and, if we believe we can estimate a range of possible outcomes, then we record a
liability reflecting either the low end of our range or a specific estimate, if we believe a
specific estimate to be likely based on current information.
In May 2010, we entered into a settlement agreement for approximately $1.6 million related to
four consolidated class actions then pending in Alameda Superior Court (California). This
settlement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court as part of our Plan, which was confirmed on July
29, 2010. The original class actions were filed between April 6, 2007 and September 27, 2007 on
behalf of various Central Concrete Supply Co., Inc. (Central) ready-mixed concrete and transport
drivers, alleging primarily that Central, which is one of our subsidiaries, failed to provide meal
and rest breaks as required under California law. We previously entered into settlements with one
of the classes and a number of individual drivers. The approximate $1.6 million settlement was paid
in September 2010.
In May 2008, we received a letter from a multi-employer pension plan to which one of our
subsidiaries is a contributing employer, providing notice that the Internal Revenue Service had
denied applications by the plan for waivers of the minimum funding deficiency from prior years, and
requesting payment of our allocable share of the minimum funding deficiency. We have been
evaluating several options to minimize our exposure, including transferring our assets and
liabilities into another plan. In April 2010, the multi-employer pension plan filed a civil
complaint to collect approximately $1.8 million for this minimum funding deficiency. We may receive
future funding deficiency demands from this particular multi-employer pension plan, or other
multi-employer plans to which we contribute. We are unable to estimate the amount of any potential
future funding deficiency demands because the actions of each of the other contributing employers
in the plans has an effect on each of the other contributing employers, the development of a
rehabilitation plan by the trustees and subsequent submittal to and approval by the Internal
Revenue Service is not predictable, and the allocation of fund assets and return assumptions by
trustees are variable, as are actual investment returns relative to the plan assumptions.
Currently, there are no material product defect claims pending against us. Accordingly, our
existing accruals for claims against us do not reflect any material amounts relating to product
defect claims. While our management is not aware of any facts that would reasonably be expected to
lead to material product defect claims against us that would have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or results of operations, it is possible that claims could be
asserted against us in the future. We do not maintain insurance that would cover all damages
resulting from product defect claims. In particular, we generally do not maintain insurance
coverage for the cost of removing and rebuilding structures, or so-called rip and tear coverage.
In addition, our indemnification arrangements with contractors or others, when obtained, generally
provide only limited protection against product defect claims. Due to inherent uncertainties
associated with estimating unasserted claims in our business, we cannot estimate the amount of any
future loss that may be attributable to unasserted product defect claims related to ready-mixed
concrete we have delivered prior to September 30, 2010.
22
U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We believe that the resolution of all litigation currently pending or threatened against us or
any of our subsidiaries will not materially exceed our existing accruals for those matters.
However, because of the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there is a risk that we may have to
increase our accruals for one or more claims or proceedings to which we or any of our subsidiaries
is a party as more information becomes available or proceedings progress, and any such increase in
accruals could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or results of operations. We expect in the future that we
and our operating subsidiaries will from time to time be a party to litigation or administrative
proceedings that arise in the normal course of our business.
We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning,
among other matters, air emissions and wastewater discharge. Our management believes we are in
substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. From time to time, we
receive claims from federal and state environmental regulatory agencies and entities asserting that
we may be in violation of environmental laws and regulations. Based on experience and the
information currently available, our management believes the possibility that these claims could
materially exceed our related accruals is remote. Despite compliance and experience, it is
possible that we could be held liable for future charges, which might be material, but are not
currently known to us or cannot be estimated by us. In addition, changes in federal or state laws,
regulations or requirements, or discovery of currently unknown conditions, could require additional
expenditures.
As permitted under Delaware law, we have agreements that provide indemnification of officers
and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is or was serving at
our request in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be
required to make under these indemnification agreements is not limited; however, we have a director
and officer insurance policy that potentially limits our exposure and enables us to recover a
portion of future amounts that may be paid. As a result of the insurance policy coverage, we
believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, we
have not recorded any liabilities for these agreements as of September 30, 2010.
We and our subsidiaries are parties to agreements that require us to provide indemnification
in certain instances when we acquire businesses and real estate and in the ordinary course of
business with our customers, suppliers, lessors and service providers.
Insurance Programs
We maintain third-party insurance coverage against certain risks. Under certain components of
our insurance program, we share the risk of loss with our insurance underwriters by maintaining
high deductibles subject to aggregate annual loss limitations. Generally, our deductible
retentions per occurrence for auto, workers compensation and general liability insurance programs
are $1.0 million, although certain of our operations are self-insured for workers compensation.
We fund these deductibles and record an expense for expected losses under the programs. The
expected losses are determined using a combination of our historical loss experience and subjective
assessments of our future loss exposure. The estimated losses are subject to uncertainty from
various sources, including changes in claims reporting patterns, claims settlement patterns,
judicial decisions, legislation and economic conditions. Although we believe that the estimated
losses we have recorded are reasonable, significant differences related to the items noted above
could materially affect our insurance obligations and future expense.
Performance Bonds
In the normal course of business, we and our subsidiaries are contingently liable for
performance under $42.3 million in performance bonds that various contractors, states and
municipalities have required. The bonds principally relate to construction contracts, reclamation
obligations and licensing and permitting. We and our subsidiaries have indemnified the
underwriting insurance company against any exposure under the performance bonds. No material claims
have been made against these bonds.
15. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We have two segments that serve our principal markets in the United States. Our ready-mixed
concrete and concrete-related products segment produces and sells ready-mixed concrete, aggregates
(crushed stone, sand and gravel), concrete masonry and building materials. This segment serves the
following principal markets: north and west Texas, northern California, New Jersey, New York,
Washington, D.C. and Oklahoma. Our precast concrete products segment produces and sells precast
concrete products in select markets in the western United States and the mid-Atlantic region.
We account for inter-segment revenue at market prices. Segment operating income (loss)
consists of net revenue less operating expense, including certain operating overhead directly
related to the operation of the specific segment. Corporate includes executive, administrative,
financial, legal, human resources, business development and risk management activities which are
not allocated to operations and are excluded from segment operating income (loss).

U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
16. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
For a description of our accounting policies, see Note 3 of the consolidated financial
statements in the 2009 Form 10-K.
In February 2010, the FASB issued an update that removes the requirement for an SEC filer to
disclose a date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This change removes potential
conflicts with SEC requirements. The adoption did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated
financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on consolidation of variable interest
entities (VIE) that changes how a reporting entity determines a primary beneficiary that would
consolidate the VIE from a quantitative risk and rewards approach to a qualitative approach based
on which variable interest holder has the power to direct the economic performance related
activities of the VIE as well as the obligation to absorb losses or right to receive benefits that
could potentially be significant to the VIE. This guidance requires the primary beneficiary
assessment to be performed on an ongoing basis and also requires enhanced disclosures that will
provide more transparency about a companys involvement in a VIE. This guidance is effective for a
reporting entitys first annual reporting period that begins after November 15, 2009. The adoption
of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
17. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
In October 2010, we acquired three ready-mixed concrete plants and related assets in the west
Texas market for approximately $3.0 million, plus inventory on hand at closing. We made cash
payments of $0.4 million and have issued promissory notes for the remaining $2.6 million.

U.S. CONCRETE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
18. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS
All of our subsidiaries, excluding Superior and minor subsidiaries, jointly and severally and
fully and unconditionally guaranteed the repayment of our Old Notes which had a balance of $271.8
million at December 31, 2009. We directly or indirectly own 100% of each subsidiary guarantor. The
following supplemental financial information sets forth, on a condensed consolidating basis, the
financial statements for U.S. Concrete, Inc., the parent company and its subsidiary guarantors
(including minor subsidiaries), Superior and our consolidated company, as of December 31, 2009 and
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009. In September 2010, we redeemed our
interest in Superior and as a result the supplemental financial information is not required as of
and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2010. Additionally, the Old Notes were
cancelled as part of our reorganization (see Note 2).
The condensed consolidating balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 has been revised to reduce
investment in subsidiaries by $5.6 million and eliminate non-controlling interest in the same
amount that was previously recorded in the accounts of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Corresponding
revisions of $5.6 million were also made to the eliminations column. These revisions had no impact
on the Parent, Superior, or consolidated columns in the condensed consolidating balance sheet as of
December 31, 2009. The condensed consolidating statement of operations for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2009 have also been revised to reduce equity loss in subsidiary by $3.2
million and $5.6 million, respectively and eliminate net loss attributable to non-controlling
interest in the same amounts that were previously recorded in the accounts of the Subsidiary
Guarantors. Corresponding revisions in the same amounts were also made to the eliminations
columns. These revisions had no impact on the Parent, Superior, or consolidated columns in the
condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three and nine month period ended
September 30, 2009.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Statements we make in the following discussion which express a belief, expectation or
intention, as well as those that are not historical fact, are forward-looking statements that are
subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results, performance or
achievements, or market conditions or industry results, could differ materially from the
forward-looking statements in the following discussion as a result of a variety of factors,
including the risks and uncertainties we have referred to under the headings Risk Factors in Item
1A of Part I in the 2009 Form 10-K and in Item 1A of Part II of this report. For a discussion of
our commitments not discussed below, related-party transactions, and our critical accounting
policies, see Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations in Item 7 of Part I in the 2009 Form 10-K. We assume no obligation to update these
forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable law.
Our Business
We operate our business in two business segments: (a) ready-mixed concrete and
concrete-related products, and (b) precast concrete products.
Ready-Mixed Concrete and Concrete-Related Products. Our ready-mixed concrete and
concrete-related products segment is engaged primarily in the production, sale and delivery of
ready-mixed concrete to our customers job sites. To a lesser extent, this segment is engaged in
the mining and sale of aggregates, and the resale of building materials, primarily to our
ready-mixed concrete customers. We provide these products and services from our operations in
north and west Texas, northern California, New Jersey, New York, Washington, D.C. and Oklahoma.
Precast Concrete Products. Our precast concrete products segment engages principally in the
production, distribution and sale of precast concrete products from our seven plants located in
California, Arizona and Pennsylvania. From these facilities, we produce precast concrete
structures such as utility vaults, manholes and other wastewater management products, specialty
engineered structures, pre-stressed bridge girders, concrete piles, curb-inlets, catch basins,
retaining and other wall systems, custom-designed architectural products and other precast concrete
products.
Overview
The markets for our products are generally local, and our operating results are subject to
fluctuations in the level and mix of construction activity that occur in our markets. The level of
activity affects the demand for our products, while the product mix of activity among the various
segments of the construction industry affects both our relative competitive strengths and our
operating margins. Commercial and industrial projects generally provide more opportunities to sell
value-added products that are designed to meet the high-performance requirements of these types of
projects.
Our customers are generally involved in the construction industry, which is a cyclical
business and is subject to general and more localized economic conditions, including the
recessionary conditions impacting all our markets. In addition, our business is impacted by
seasonal variations in weather conditions, which vary by regional market. Accordingly, demand for
our products and services during the winter months is typically lower than in other months of the
year because of inclement weather. Also, sustained periods of inclement weather could cause the
delay of construction projects during other times of the year.
Since the middle of 2006, the United States building materials construction market has become
increasingly challenging. Currently, the construction industry, particularly the ready-mixed
concrete industry, is characterized by significant overcapacity, fierce competitive activity and
declining sales volumes. From 2007 through 2010, we have implemented a variety of cost reduction
initiatives, including workforce reductions, suspension of employee benefits, temporary plant
idling, rolling stock dispositions and divestitures of underperforming business units to reduce our
operating and fixed costs.
Despite these initiatives, our business and financial performance was severely affected by the
overall downturn in construction activity, particularly the steep decline in single-family home
starts in the U.S. residential construction markets, the turmoil in the global credit markets and
the U.S. economic downturn. These conditions have had a significant impact on demand for our
products since the middle of 2006 and continuing into the third quarter of 2010. During 2007, 2008
and 2009, single family home starts declined significantly, and commercial construction activity,
which has been negatively affected by the challenging credit markets and the recent U.S. economic
downturn, has been weaker in our markets in 2010 when compared to 2009. Sales volumes in our
precast operations have also been significantly affected due to the dramatic downturn in
residential construction. We have also experienced pricing pressure and our ready-mixed concrete
pricing has declined in 2010 compared to 2009 in most of our markets, which has negatively impacted
our gross margins.
31
The continued weakening economic conditions, including ongoing softness in residential
construction, further reduction in demand in the commercial sector and delays in anticipated public
works projects in many of our markets, combined to cause a significant reduction in our liquidity. We retained legal and financial advisors to assist us
in reviewing the strategic and financing alternatives available to us. We also engaged in
discussions with the holders of our previously outstanding 8.375% Senior Subordinated Notes due
2014 (the Old Notes) regarding a permanent restructuring of our capital structure.
Emergence from Chapter 11
We reached an agreement with a substantial majority of the holders of our Old Notes on the
terms of a comprehensive debt restructuring plan prior to filing for Chapter 11. To implement the
restructuring, on April 29, 2010, (the Petition Date), we and certain of our subsidiaries
(collectively, the Debtors) filed voluntary petitions in the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware (the Bankruptcy Court) seeking relief under the provisions of Chapter 11
of Title 11 of the United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code). The Bankruptcy Court ordered joint
administration of the Chapter 11 Cases under the lead case: In re U.S. Concrete, Inc., Case No.
10-11407 (the Chapter 11 Cases). The restructuring did not involve Superiors operations.
On July 29, 2010, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order confirming the Debtors Joint Plan of
Reorganization, pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan of Reorganization was
originally filed with the Bankruptcy Court on the Petition Date and supplemented by the Supplement
to Debtors Joint Plan of Reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code filed with
the Bankruptcy Court on July 19, 2010 and July 22, 2010, and amended on July 27, 2010 (as so
amended and supplemented, the Plan). On August 31, 2010 (the Effective Date), the Debtors
consummated their reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code and the Plan became effective.
The consummation, on the Effective Date, of our reorganization under the Plan provided for the
following:
|
|
|
All outstanding obligations under our Old Notes were cancelled and the indenture
governing the Old Notes was terminated; |
|
|
|
|
All amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Guarantee
Agreement (the DIP Credit Agreement) were paid and such agreement was terminated in
accordance with its terms; |
|
|
|
|
All of our then existing equity securities, including our common stock (the Old
Common Stock), all options to purchase the Old Common Stock and all rights to purchase
the Companys Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock pursuant to a Rights
Agreement, dated as of November 5, 2009, were cancelled. Accordingly, certain of our
equity incentive plans in place prior to the Effective Date, and all awards granted
under such plans, were terminated. The following equity incentive plans were
terminated (i) 1999 Incentive Plan of U.S. Concrete, Inc.; (ii) U.S. Concrete, Inc.
2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan; (iii) 2001 Employee Incentive Plan of U.S. Concrete,
Inc.; and (iv) U.S. Concrete, Inc. 2008 Incentive Plan; |
|
|
|
|
Issuance of (i) approximately 11.9 million shares of Common Stock to holders of the
Old Notes, (ii) approximately 1.5 million Class A Warrants to holders of Old Common
Stock and (iii) approximately 1.5 million Class B Warrants to holders of Old Common
Stock. See Note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more
information on the Class A and Class B Warrants; |
|
|
|
|
Adoption of a management equity incentive plan (the Incentive Plan), under which
9.5% of the equity of the reorganized Company authorized pursuant to the Plan, on a
fully-diluted basis, is reserved for issuance as equity-based awards to management and
employees, and 0.5% of such equity, on a fully-diluted basis, is reserved for issuance
to directors of the reorganized Company; |
|
|
|
|
Entry into a new credit agreement, dated as of August 31, 2010 (the New Credit
Agreement), which provides for a $75.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility.
See Liquidity and Capital Resources below for more information on the New Credit
Agreement; and |
|
|
|
|
Issuance of $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.5% Convertible Secured
Notes due 2015 (the Convertible Notes) pursuant to a subscription offering. See
Liquidity and Capital Resources below for more information on the Convertible Notes. |
32
Our Old Common Stock ceased trading on the NASDAQ Global Market on May 10, 2010 and was traded
in the over-the-counter market until the Effective Date. Upon the Effective Date of the Plan, the
Old Common Stock was cancelled and holders of the Old Common Stock received Class A and Class B
Warrants. The common stock issued to holders of the Old Notes on the Effective Date
began trading on the over-the-counter Bulletin Board (the OTC Bulletin Board or OTC BB) on
October 15, 2010 under the symbol USCR.
Basis
of Presentation
In connection with our emergence from Chapter 11,
we applied the accounting under Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) Accounting Standards Codification
(ASC) Topic 852 (ASC 852),
Reorganizations, as of August 31, 2010 (see Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial
statements). The results for the one-month period ended September 30,
2010 (we refer to the Company during such period as the
Successor)
and the results for the two-month and eight-month periods ended August 31, 2010 (we refer to the Company during such periods as
the Predecessor) are presented separately. This presentation is required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States (GAAP), as the Successor is considered to be a new entity for financial reporting purposes, and the results of the Successor
reflect the application of fresh-start reporting. Accordingly, our financial statements after August 31, 2010 are not comparable to our
financial statements for any period prior to our emergence from Chapter 11.
In August 2010, we entered into a redemption
agreement to redeem our 60% interest in our Michigan subsidiary,
Superior Materials Holdings, LLC (Superior). This redemption was
finalized and closed on September 30, 2010. The results of operations
of Superior, net of the minority owners 40% interest, have
been included in discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As a result of our emergence from Chapter 11 on August 31, 2010, our total debt has declined
from $296.5 at December 31, 2009 to $47.7 million at September 30, 2010, thereby reducing our debt
service costs and providing more liquidity. Our primary liquidity needs over the next 12 months
consist of financing seasonal working capital requirements, servicing indebtedness under the New
Credit Agreement and Convertible Notes (defined and described below), making remaining payments for
reorganization activities and purchasing property and equipment. Our working capital needs are
typically at their lowest level in the first quarter, increase in the second and third quarters to
fund the increases in accounts receivable and inventories during those periods, and then decrease
in the fourth quarter. The availability under the New Credit Agreement was approximately $33.5
million at September 30, 2010. Even if we are unable to generate cash from operations over the next
12 months, we believe that our New Credit Agreement provides adequate liquidity.
The projection of our cash needs is based upon many factors, including our forecasted volume,
pricing, cost of materials, capital expenditures and reorganization costs. Based on our projected
cash needs, we believe that the New Credit Agreement will provide us with sufficient liquidity in
the ordinary course. The New Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature in August 2014. If, however,
the New Credit Agreement is not adequate to fund our operations in the event that our operating
results and projected needs are proven to be incorrect, we would need to obtain an amendment to the
New Credit Agreement or seek other debt financing to provide additional liquidity.
As a result of the challenging and prolonged economic and industry conditions and our
reorganization activities, we anticipate using net cash in our operating activities for all of
2010. In response to the protracted, declining sales volumes, we have expanded and continued our
cost reduction efforts for 2010, including wage freezes, elimination of our 401(k) company match
program and reductions in other employee benefits. We have also continued to scale back capital
investment expenditures in order to maintain liquidity.
The principal factors that could adversely affect the amount of our internally generated funds
include:
|
|
|
further deterioration of revenue, due to lower volume and/or pricing, because of
weakness in the markets in which we operate; |
|
|
|
|
further declines in gross margins due to shifts in our project mix or increases in
the cost of our raw materials; and |
|
|
|
|
any deterioration in our ability to collect our accounts receivable from customers
as a result of further weakening in residential and other construction demand or as a
result of payment difficulties experienced by our customers. |
The following key financial measurements reflect our financial position and capital resources

Senior Secured Credit Facility due 2014
On the Effective Date of the Plan, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a new
credit agreement, dated as of August 31, 2010 (the New Credit Agreement), which provides for a
$75.0 million asset-based revolving credit facility (the Revolving Facility). The New Credit
Agreement matures in August 2014. As of September 30, 2010, we had outstanding borrowings of $5.0
million and $21.4 million of undrawn standby letters of credit under the Revolving Facility. The
availability under the Revolving Facility was approximately $33.5 million at September 30, 2010.
33
Up to $30.0 million of the Revolving Facility is available for the issuance of letters of
credit, and any such issuance of letters of credit will reduce the amount available for loans under
the Revolving Facility. Advances under the Revolving Facility are limited by a
borrowing base of (a) 85% of the face amount of eligible accounts receivable plus (b) the
lesser of (i) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value (as determined by the most recent appraisal)
of eligible inventory and (ii) the sum of (A) 50% of the eligible inventory (other than eligible
aggregates inventory) and (B) 65% of the eligible aggregates inventory plus (c) the lesser of (i)
$15.0 million and (ii) the sum of (A) 85% of the net orderly liquidation value (as determined by
the most recent appraisal) of eligible trucks plus (B) 80% of the cost of newly acquired eligible
trucks since the date of the latest appraisal of eligible trucks minus (C) the depreciation amount
applicable to eligible trucks since the date of the latest appraisal of eligible trucks minus (d)
such reserves as the Administrative Agent may establish from time to time in its permitted
discretion. The Administrative Agent may, in its permitted discretion, reduce the advance rates
set forth above, adjust reserves or reduce one or more of the other elements used in computing the
borrowing base. In addition, prior to the delivery of our financial statements for the fiscal
quarter ended September 30, 2011, there will be an availability block (the Availability Block) of
$15.0 million and after such date, unless the fixed charge coverage ratio for any trailing twelve
month period is greater than or equal to 1.00:1.00, there will be an Availability Block of $15.0
million, to be increased monthly by $1.0 million up to a maximum of $20.0 million. Beginning with
the fiscal month in which the Availability Block is eliminated and with respect to each fiscal
month thereafter, at any time that availability under the Revolving Facility is less than $15.0
million, the Company must maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00:1.00 until
availability is greater than or equal to $15.0 million for a period of 30 consecutive days.
Under
the New Credit Agreement, our capital expenditures may not exceed (i)
$15.0 million in the
aggregate from the Effective Date (August 31, 2010) through and including December 31, 2010 and
(ii) 7.0% of our consolidated annual revenue for the trailing twelve month period ending on the
last day of each fiscal quarter thereafter (commencing with the fiscal quarter ended March 31,
2011); provided that the amount of any capital expenditures permitted to be made in respect of the
trailing twelve month period ending on March 31, 2011 shall be
increased by a maximum of $7.5 million
of the unused amount of capital expenditures that were permitted to be made during the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2010. Our capital expenditures from the Effective Date through September 30,
2010 were approximately $0.5 million. The Revolving Facility requires us to comply with certain
other customary affirmative and negative covenants, and contains customary events of default.
At our option, loans may be maintained from time to time at an interest rate equal to the
Eurodollar-based rate (LIBOR) or the applicable domestic rate (CB Floating Rate). The CB
Floating Rate shall be the greater of (x) the interest rate per annum publicly announced from time
to time by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as its prime rate and (y) the interest rate per annum equal to
the sum of 1.0% per annum plus the adjusted LIBOR rate for a one month interest period, in each
case plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin on loans is 2.75% in the case of loans
bearing interest at the CB Floating Rate and 3.75% in the case of loans bearing interest at the
LIBOR rate. Issued and outstanding letters of credit are subject to a fee equal to the applicable
margin then in effect for LIBOR loans, a fronting fee equal to 0.20% per annum on the stated amount
of such letter of credit, and customary charges associated with the issuance and administration of
letters of credit. We will also pay a commitment fee on undrawn amounts under the Revolving
Facility in an amount equal to 0.75% per annum. Upon any event of default, at the direction of the
required lenders under the Revolving Facility, all outstanding loans and the amount of all other
obligations owing under the Revolving Facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2.0%
plus the rate otherwise applicable to such loans or other obligations.
Outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Facility are prepayable, and the commitments under
the Revolving Facility may be permanently reduced, without penalty. There are mandatory prepayments
of principal in connection with (i) the incurrence of certain indebtedness, (ii) certain equity
issuances and (iii) certain asset sales or other dispositions (including as a result of casualty or
condemnation). Mandatory prepayments are applied to repay outstanding loans without a
corresponding permanent reduction in commitments under the Revolving Facility and are subject to
the terms of an Intercreditor Agreement.
In connection with the New Credit Agreement, on the Effective Date we and certain of our
subsidiaries entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement (the Security Agreement) with the
Administrative Agent. Pursuant to the Security Agreement, all obligations under the Revolving
Facility will be secured by (i) a first-priority perfected lien (subject to certain exceptions) in
substantially all of our and certain of our subsidiaries present and after acquired inventory
(including as-extracted collateral), accounts, certain specified mixer trucks, deposit accounts,
securities accounts, commodities accounts, letter of credit rights, cash and cash equivalents,
general intangibles (other than intellectual property and equity in subsidiaries), instruments,
documents, supporting obligations and related books and records and all proceeds and products of
the foregoing and (ii) a perfected second-priority lien (subject to certain exceptions) on
substantially all other present and after acquired property (including, without limitation,
material owned real estate).
34
Convertible Secured notes due 2015
On the Effective Date of the Plan, we issued $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.5%
Convertible Secured Notes due 2015 (the Convertible Notes) pursuant to a subscription offering
contemplated by the Plan. The Convertible Notes are governed by an indenture (the Indenture),
dated as of August 31, 2010. Under the terms of the Indenture, the Convertible Notes bear interest
at a rate of 9.5% per annum and will mature on August 31, 2015. Interest payments will be payable
quarterly in cash in arrears.
Additionally, we recorded a discount of approximately $13.6 million related to an embedded
derivative that was bifurcated and separately valued (See Note 9 to the consolidated financial
statements). This discount will be accreted over the term of the note and included in interest
expense.
The Convertible Notes will be convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time on or
prior to maturity, into shares of our new common stock (the Common Stock), at an initial
conversion rate of 95.23809524 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible
Notes (the Conversion Rate). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment to prevent dilution
resulting from stock splits, stock dividends, combinations or similar events. In connection with
any such conversion, holders of the Convertible Notes to be converted shall also have the right to
receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Convertible Notes to the date of conversion (the
Accrued Interest). We may elect to pay the Accrued Interest in cash or in shares of Common Stock
in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
In addition, if a Fundamental Change of Control (as defined in the Indenture) occurs prior
to the maturity date, in addition to any conversion rights the holders of Convertible Notes may
have, each holder of Convertible Notes will have (i) a make-whole provision calculated as provided
in the Indenture pursuant to which each holder may be entitled to additional shares of Common Stock
upon conversion (the Make Whole Premium), and (ii) an amount equal to the interest on such
Convertible Notes that would have been payable from the date of the occurrence of such Fundamental
Change of Control (the Fundamental Change of Control Date) through the third anniversary of the
Effective Date, plus any accrued and unpaid interest from the Effective Date to the Fundamental
Change of Control Date (the amount in this clause (ii), the Make Whole Payment). We may elect to
pay the Make Whole Payment in cash or in shares of Common Stock.
If the closing price of the Common Stock exceeds 150% of the Conversion Price (defined as
$1,000 divided by the Conversion Rate) then in effect for at least 20 trading days during any
consecutive 30-day trading period (the Conversion Event), we may provide, at our option, a
written notice (the Conversion Event Notice) of the occurrence of the Conversion Event to each
holder of Convertible Notes in accordance with the Indenture. Except as set forth in an Election
Notice (as defined below), the right to convert Convertible Notes with respect to the occurrence of
the Conversion Event shall terminate on the date that is 46 days following the date of the
Conversion Event Notice (the Conversion Termination Date), such that the holder shall have a
45-day period in which to convert its Convertible Notes up to the amount of the Conversion Cap (as
defined below). Any Convertible Notes not converted prior to the Conversion Termination Date as a
result of the Conversion Cap shall be, at the holders election and upon written notice to the
Company (the Election Notice), converted into shares of Common Stock on a date or dates prior to
the date that is 180 days following the Conversion Termination Date. The Conversion Cap means
the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Convertible Notes are convertible and that
would cause the related holder to beneficially own (as such term is used in the Exchange Act)
more than 9.9% of the Common Stock at any time outstanding.
Any Convertible Notes not otherwise converted prior to the Conversion Termination Date or
specified for conversion in an Election Notice shall be redeemable, in whole or in part, at our
election at any time prior to maturity at par plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the
Conversion Termination Date.
The Indenture contains certain covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things,
|
|
|
incur additional indebtedness or issue disqualified stock or preferred stock; |
|
|
|
|
pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem our stock or
subordinated indebtedness or make investments; |
|
|
|
|
sell assets and issue capital stock of our restricted subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
|
incur liens; |
|
|
|
|
enter into transactions with affiliates; and |
|
|
|
|
consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of our assets. |
The Convertible Notes will be guaranteed by each of our existing and future direct or indirect
domestic restricted subsidiaries. In connection with the Indenture, on August 31, 2010, we and
certain of our subsidiaries entered into a Pledge and Security Agreement (the Pledge and Security
Agreement) with the noteholder collateral agent. Pursuant to the Pledge and Security Agreement,
the Convertible Notes and related guarantees will be secured by first-priority liens on certain of
the property and assets directly owned by
35
the Company and each of the guarantors, including
material owned real property, fixtures, intellectual property, capital stock of subsidiaries and
certain equipment, subject to permitted liens (including a second-priority lien in favor of the
Administrative Agent) with certain exceptions. Obligations under the Revolving Facility and those
in respect of hedging and cash management obligations owed to the lenders (and their affiliates)
that are a party to the Revolving Facility (collectively, the Revolving Facility Obligations)
will be secured by a second-priority lien on such collateral.
The Convertible Notes and related guarantees will also be secured by a second-priority lien on
the assets of the Company and the guarantors securing the Revolving Facility Obligations on a first-priority basis, including,
inventory (including as extracted collateral), accounts, certain specified mixture trucks, general
intangibles (other than collateral securing the Convertible Notes on a first-priority basis),
instruments, documents, cash, deposit accounts, securities accounts, commodities accounts, letter
of credit rights and all supporting obligations and related books and records and all proceeds and
products of the foregoing, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, we entered into a registration
rights agreement, dated August 31, 2010 (the Registration Rights Agreement), under which we
agreed, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to register the Convertible Notes
and the Common Stock into which the Convertible Notes convert. Under the Registration Rights
Agreement, we are required to use commercially reasonable efforts to file a shelf registration
statement covering the resale by the Electing Holders (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) of Convertible Notes that are Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration
Rights Agreement) by the first business day following the date that is 366 days following the
Effective Date, and to file a shelf registration statement covering the resale of shares of Common
Stock that constitute Registrable Securities by the Electing Holders, on a delayed or continuous
basis, within 180 days of the Issue Date. We are required to pay special interest if we fail to
file either shelf registration statement by the applicable deadline or if any registration
statement required by the Registration Rights Agreement ceases to be effective for more than 45
days, with respect to any Registrable Securities that are Convertible Notes and are Restricted
Securities (as defined in the Indenture).
DIP Credit Agreement
Effective as of May 3, 2010, we and certain of our subsidiaries entered into the DIP Credit
Agreement which provided us with a debtor-in-possession term loan and revolving credit facility
during Chapter 11. The DIP Credit Agreement was paid in full and cancelled on the Effective Date of
the Plan.
Old Notes
As discussed above, we reached an agreement with a substantial majority of the holders of the
Old Notes on the terms of a comprehensive debt restructuring plan prior to April 30, 2010, the date
an event of default would have occurred for non-payment of interest on the Old Notes. On the
Effective Date, the Old Notes were cancelled and the holders received approximately 11.9 million
shares of new common stock in our reorganized company.
Cash Flows
Our net cash provided by or used in operating activities generally reflects the cash effects
of transactions and other events used in the determination of net income or loss. Net cash used in
operating activities was $31.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, compared to
net cash provided by operating activities of $12.0 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2009. The change in the 2010 period was primarily the result of lower profitability and cash
payments for professional fees related to our reorganization. Additionally, in 2009, our working
capital needs were lower due to the rapid decline in our volume of business as compared to the same
period in 2010.
We used $5.3 million of cash in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30,
2010 and $8.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. The change during the 2010
period was primarily attributable to lower net capital expenditures and lower payments related to
acquisitions in 2010 compared to the first nine months of 2009. During the first nine months of
2009, we paid approximately $4.5 million for a concrete crushing and recycling operation in New
York. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2009, we made a $750,000 payment, reduced for certain
uncollected pre-acquisition accounts receivable, to the sellers of a precast operation related to a
contingent payment obligation. We made no acquisitions during the first nine months of 2010 but
paid $0.6 million related to the redemption of Superior.
36
Our net cash provided by financing activities was $37.4 million for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2010 and $1.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009. The
increase in the 2010 period was primarily the result of proceeds from our Convertible Note obtained
upon the Effective Date. In addition, the Superior minority owner made a $2.5 million contribution
to Superior in the first quarter of 2010 and we purchased $7.4 million principal amount of our Old
Notes for $4.8 million during the first half of 2009.
Cement and Other Raw Materials
We obtain most of the materials necessary to manufacture ready-mixed concrete and precast
concrete products on a daily basis. These materials include cement, other cementitious materials (fly ash, blast furnace slag) and
aggregates (stone, gravel and sand), in addition to certain chemical admixtures. With the
exception of chemical admixtures, each plant typically maintains an inventory level of these
materials sufficient to satisfy its operating needs for a few days. Our inventory levels do not
decline significantly or comparatively with declines in revenue during seasonally low periods. We
generally maintain inventory at specified levels to maximize purchasing efficiencies and to be able
to respond quickly to customer demand.
Typically, cement, other cementitious materials and aggregates represent the highest-cost
materials used in manufacturing a cubic yard of ready-mixed concrete. Historically, we have
purchased cement from several suppliers in each of our major markets. Due to certain industry
consolidations and our decision to have a primary and secondary supplier, in certain of our
markets, we are now purchasing cement from fewer suppliers than in past years. Based on current
economic conditions, this decision has not affected our ability to obtain an adequate supply of
cement for our operations. Chemical admixtures are generally purchased from suppliers under
national purchasing agreements.
Cement and aggregates prices remained relatively flat to down in most of our markets during
the third quarter of 2010, as compared to the third quarter of 2009. Generally, we negotiate with
suppliers on a company-wide basis and at the local market level to obtain the most competitive
pricing available for cement and aggregates. The demand for construction sector products was weak
throughout 2007, 2008, 2009 and into 2010, with sales volumes significantly below 2006 peak levels.
The slowdown in our end-use markets has caused an oversupply of cement in most of our markets,
with cement producers slowing down or shutting down domestic production and reducing imported
cement to respond to the weak demand. We do not expect to experience cement shortages. Today, in
most of our markets, we believe there is an adequate supply of aggregates.
Acquisitions and Divestitures
Superior Redemption
Certain
of our subsidiaries (the Joint Venture Partners) and Edw.
C. Levy Co. (Levy) were
members of Superior and each held Shares of Superior, as defined in the Superior Operating
Agreement, dated April 1, 2007 (the Operating Agreement). In August 2010, we entered into the
Redemption Agreement (the Redemption Agreement) with the Joint Venture Partners, Superior and
Levy, regarding the redemption of the Joint Venture Partners Shares by Superior (the
Redemption). In September 2010, we entered into a Joinder Agreement to the Redemption Agreement
with the Joint Venture Partners, Superior, Levy, VCNA Prairie, Inc. (the New Joint Venture
Partner) and Votorantim Cement North America, Inc. (VCNA), whereby the New Joint Venture Partner
and VCNA became parties to the Redemption Agreement. On September 30, 2010, the Company completed
the disposition of its interest in Superior pursuant to the Redemption Agreement.
Pursuant
to the Redemption Agreement, as consideration for the Redemption, Superior, Levy,
the New Joint Venture Partner and VCNA (the Indemnifying Parties) agreed to indemnify us and the Joint
Venture Partners from, among other items: (i) facts or circumstances that occur on or after the
closing of the Redemption (the Closing) and which relate to the post-closing ownership or
operation of Superior; (ii) the Agreement Approving Asset Sale with Central States, Southeast Areas
Pension Fund, dated March 30, 2007; (iii) the Companys obligation to provide retiree medical
coverage to current and former Clawson employees of Superior and its affiliates pursuant to the
collective bargaining agreement between Superior and the Teamsters Local Union No. 614; and (iv)
Superiors issuance of 500 Shares to the New Joint Venture Partner.
At the closing of the Redemption on September 30, 2010, the Company and the Joint Venture
Partners collectively paid $640,000 in cash and issued a $1.5 million promissory note (the
Promissory Note) to Superior as partial consideration for the indemnification and other
consideration provided by the Indemnifying Parties pursuant to the Redemption Agreement.
The Promissory Note does not bear interest and requires the Company and the Joint Venture
Partners to pay Superior $750,000 on or before each of January 1, 2011 and January 1, 2012. The
Promissory Note may be prepaid, in whole or in part, without premium, penalty or additional
interest. We recognized a loss of approximately $11.6 million from redeeming our interest in
Superior. We and the Joint Venture Partners have also agreed, for a period of five (5) years after
the Closing not to compete with Superior in the State of Michigan, subject to certain exceptions.
37
Other
In May 2009, we acquired substantially all the assets of a concrete crushing and recycling
business in Queens, New York for approximately $4.5 million.
During the third quarter of 2009, we sold our ready-mixed concrete plants in Sacramento,
California for approximately $6.0 million, plus a payment for certain inventory on hand at closing.
This sale resulted in a pre-tax loss of approximately $3.0 million after the allocation of
approximately $3.0 million of goodwill related to these assets.
Critical Accounting Policies
We have outlined our critical accounting policies in Item 7 of Part II of the 2009 Form 10-K.
Our critical accounting policies involve the use of estimates in the recording of the allowance for
doubtful accounts, realization of goodwill, accruals for self-insurance, accruals for income taxes,
inventory obsolescence reserves and the valuation and useful lives of property, plant and

Results of Operations
The following table sets forth selected historical statement of operations information (in
thousands, except for selling prices) and that information as a percentage of sales for each of the
periods indicated. The two month period ended August 31, 2010 and the one-month period ended
September 30, 2010 are distinct reporting periods as a result of our emergence from bankruptcy on
August 31, 2010 and the application of fresh start accounting. For a discussion on the results of
operations we have combined the two month period ended August 31, 2010 with the one-month period
ended September 30, 2010 in order to provide comparability of such information to the three month
period ended September 30, 2009.

Revenue
Ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products. Our ready-mixed concrete and
concrete-related products revenues for the third quarter of 2010 were $116.9 million, a decline of
6.3% compared to $124.7 million during the third quarter of 2009. Ready-mixed concrete sales
volume in the third quarter of 2010 was approximately 1.08 million cubic yards, down 3.2% from 1.11
million cubic yards of ready-mixed concrete sold in the third quarter of 2009. The primary reason
for the decline in volume continues to be the depressed economic conditions in the U.S.
construction industry. Our consolidated average sales price per cubic yard of ready-mixed concrete
decreased 4.1% during the third
40
quarter of 2010, as compared to the third quarter of 2009. We
experienced price declines in all of our major markets. On a sequential quarter basis, our average
sales price per cubic yard of ready-mixed concrete remained relatively flat with the second quarter
of 2010. We anticipate that pricing will continue to be affected by the recessionary conditions
for the remainder of 2010.
Our ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 were $309.1 million, a decrease of 9.9% compared to the first nine months of
2009. Our ready-mixed concrete sales volume for the first nine months of 2010 was approximately
2.86 million cubic yards, down 7.1% from approximately 3.08 million cubic yards of ready-mixed
concrete sold during the first nine months of 2009. This decline in volume reflects the slowdown in
construction activity in each of our major markets and inclement weather during the first two
months of 2010 in certain of our major markets. Our consolidated average sales price per cubic yard
of ready-mixed concrete decreased approximately 4.5% during the first nine months of 2010, as
compared to the first nine months of 2009. This decrease was attributable to lower prices in most
of the Companys major markets.
Precast concrete products. Revenues in our precast concrete products segment were $16.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of $0.6 million, or 3.6%, from
the corresponding period in 2009. This increase is attributable primarily to specific commercial
projects in 2010 in our Phoenix, Arizona market. Revenues in the Companys precast concrete
products segment were $44.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of
$0.2 million, or 0.4%, from the corresponding period in 2009. This decrease primarily reflects the
lower commercial construction in our mid-Atlantic and southern California markets.
Cost of goods sold before depreciation, depletion and amortization
Ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products. Cost of goods sold before depreciation,
depletion and amortization for our ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related products segment
during the third quarter of 2010 was $94.6 million, a decrease of $5.7 million, or 5.7% compared to
$100.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009. For the nine months ended September
30, 2010, these costs decreased $21.4 million, or 7.6%, to $258.8 million from $280.2 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009. This decrease was primarily associated with lower sales
volumes during 2010.
As a percentage of ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related product revenue, cost of goods
sold before depreciation, depletion and amortization was 80.9% for the three months ended September
30, 2010, as compared to 80.4% for the corresponding period of 2009. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, this percentage was 83.7%, compared to 81.7% for the comparable period in 2009.
The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of ready-mixed concrete and concrete-related
products revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily attributable
to slightly higher per-unit delivery costs and the effect of our fixed costs being spread over
lower volumes, as compared to 2009.
Precast concrete products. Cost of goods sold before depreciation, depletion and amortization
for our precast concrete products segment increased $1.7 million, or 13.7%, to $14.1 million for
the quarter ended September 30, 2010 from $12.4 million for the corresponding period of 2009.
These costs increased $2.2 million, or 6.1%, to $37.9 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2010, compared to $35.7 million for the comparable period of 2009. As a percentage of precast
concrete products revenue, cost of goods sold before depreciation, depletion and amortization for
precast concrete products was 86.9% for three months ended September 30, 2010, compared to 79.2%
during the three months ended September 30, 2009. As a percentage of precast concrete products
revenue, cost of goods sold before depreciation, depletion and amortization for precast concrete
products rose to 84.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from 79.1% during the nine
months ended September 30, 2009. This percentage increased during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010 due primarily to decreased efficiency in our plant operations as a result of the
decline in commercial construction activity for our southern California and mid-Atlantic precast
operations.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
expenses were $13.2 million during the third quarter of 2010, compared to $14.8 million for the
third quarter of 2009. SG&A expenses were $43.8 million in the first nine months of 2010, compared
to $46.1 million in the corresponding period of 2009. We experienced lower costs during the third
quarter of 2010 and first nine months of 2010 as a result of continued cost control measures
implemented in 2009 and 2010, including reduced compensation as a result of workforce reductions,
lower stock based compensation expense and other administrative cost reductions such as in travel
costs and office expenses. Additionally, there was approximately $0.6 million included in selling,
general and administrative expenses during the third quarter of 2010 that was related to our
reorganization that occurred subsequent to our emergence from Chapter 11 and approximately $5.0
million during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 related to our reorganization that occurred
prior to our Chapter 11 filing.
Goodwill and other asset impairments. During the third quarter of 2009, we sold certain
ready-mixed concrete plants in our California market. These plants and operations were included in
our northern California ready-mixed concrete reporting unit. Concurrently with this sale,
41
we
performed an impairment test on the remaining goodwill for this
reporting unit and on all remaining
goodwill as a result of economic conditions. This test led to an impairment charge of $45.8
million, of which $42.2 million related to our northern California reporting unit and the remainder
to our Atlantic Region reporting unit.
Depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for
the three months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $1.2 million to $5.6 million, as compared to
$6.8 million for the corresponding period of 2009. Depreciation, depletion and amortization
expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased $1.6 million to $18.2 million, as
compared to $19.8 million for the corresponding period of 2009. These decreases were primarily due
to lower depreciation in September 2010 after the application of
fresh start accounting on August 31, 2010. September 2010
depreciation declined due to lower asset valuations.
Gain/loss on sale of assets. Our loss on sale of assets was minimal for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2010. The loss on sale of assets during the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 2009 was $2.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively. We completed the
sale of certain ready-mixed concrete plants in our Sacramento, California market for $6.0 million,
plus payment for inventory on hand at closing, during the third quarter of 2009. This sale resulted
in a $3.0 million loss after the allocation of $3.0 million of related goodwill.
Gain on purchases of senior subordinated notes. During the first and second quarters of 2009,
we purchased $12.4 million aggregate principal amount of our Old Notes in open market transactions
for approximately $4.8 million. We recorded a gain of $7.4 million as a result of these
transactions after writing off $0.2 million of previously deferred financing costs associated with
the pro-rata amount of the Old Notes purchased.
Interest expense, net. Net interest expense in the third quarter of 2010 decreased
approximately $2.1 million, to $4.3 million, compared to $6.4 million for the third quarter of
2009. Net interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was down approximately $1.2
million to $18.3 million, compared to $19.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
The decrease is due primarily to the cancellation of the Old Notes in accordance with the
consummation of the Plan on August 31, 2010 and the cessation of recording interest expense on
these notes after filing Chapter 11 on April 29, 2010. This decrease is partially offset by
interest incurred during May through August 2010 under the debtor-in-possession credit facility
which was paid in full and cancelled on August 31, 2010 upon consummation of the Plan.
Additionally, we incurred interest in September 2010 on borrowings under the Revolving Facility and
the Convertible Notes.
Derivative
income. During the one-month period
ended September 30, 2010, we recorded income of approximately $0.8 million related to fair value changes in our embedded Convertible
Notes derivative. This fair value change was due primarily to market changes in
conventional dept interest rates.
Reorganization items. In accordance with authoritative accounting guidance, separate
disclosure is required for reorganization items commencing upon the Petition Date. These
reorganization items include certain expenses directly associated with or resulting from the
reorganization and restructuring of the business, which have been realized or incurred during the
Chapter 11 Cases. The net gain from reorganization items of $65.9 million during the
two-month period ended August 31, 2010 consisted of a $151.9 million gain on the cancellation of the Old Notes, partially offset
by a $78.9 million loss on asset valuations resulting from fresh start accounting and $7.1 million
of professional fees. The net gain from reorganization items of
$59.2 million during the eight month period ended August 31,
2010 consisted of a $151.9 million gain on the cancellation of the Old Notes, partially
offset by a $78.9 million loss on asset valuations resulting from fresh start accounting and $13.8
million of professional fees and other reorganization costs.
Income taxes. We recorded income tax
expense allocated to continuing operations equal to approximately $1.5 million and $1.6 million for the two and eight month periods
ended August 31, 2010, respectively. Our income taxes for the one month period ended September 30, 2010 was near zero. Our effective tax
rate differs substantially from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the application of a valuation allowance that reduced
the recognized benefit of our deferred tax assets. In addition, certain state income taxes are calculated on bases different
than pre-tax income (loss). This resulted in recording income tax expense
in certain states that experience a pre-tax loss.
In accordance with
GAAP, the recognized value of deferred tax assets must be reduced to the amount that is more likely than not to be
realized in future periods. The ultimate realization of the benefit of deferred tax assets from deductible temporary differences or tax
carryovers depends on the generation of sufficient taxable income during the periods in
which those temporary differences become deductible. We considered the scheduled reversal
of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
Based on these considerations, we relied upon the reversal of certain deferred tax liabilities to realize a portion
of our deferred tax assets and established a valuation allowance as of August 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 for
other deferred tax assets because of uncertainty regarding their ultimate realization. Our total net deferred
tax liability as of August 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010 was $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively.
We
reorganized pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code under the terms of our Plan with an effective date of August 31, 2010 (See
Note 2). Under our Plan, our Old Notes were cancelled, giving rise
to cancellation of indebtedness income (CODI). The Internal Revenue
Code (IRC) provides that CODI arising under a plan of bankruptcy reorganization is excludible from taxable income, but the debtor must
reduce certain of its tax attributes by the amount of CODI realized under the Plan. Based on the estimate of CODI
and required tax attribute reduction, we believe the effects of the
Plan will not cause a significant change in our recorded deferred tax liability. Current estimates show that
the required reduction in tax attributes, or deferred tax assets, will be accompanied by a corresponding release
of valuation allowance that is currently reducing the carrying value of such tax attributes. The allocation of
the tax attribute reduction is an estimate and will not be finalized
until the 2010 tax return, which includes the
effective date of the Plan,
is filed. Any changes in the estimate could impact deferred taxes.
We underwent a change in ownership for purposes of Section 382 of the IRC as a result of our Plan and emergence from Chapter 11 on
August 31, 2010. As a result, the amount of our pre-change net
operating losses (NOLs) and other tax attributes that are available to
offset future taxable income are subject to an annual limitation. The annual limitation is based on the value of the corporation as of the
effective date of the Plan. The ownership change and the resulting annual limitation on use of NOLs are not expected
to result in the expiration of our NOL carryforwards if we are able to generate sufficient future taxable income
within the carryforward periods. However, the limitation on the amount of NOL available to offset taxable income
in a specific year may result in the payment of income taxes before all NOLs have been utilized. Additionally,
a subsequent ownership change may result in further limitation on the ability to utilize existing NOLs and other tax attributes.
42
Loss from discontinued operations. In August 2010, the Company entered into a redemption
agreement to exit the Michigan market with the divestiture of its interest in Superior. This
divestiture closed in September 2010. In connection with the divestiture of Superior, we paid
$640,000 in cash and issued the Promissory Note which requires that we pay Superior $750,000 on or
before each of January 1, 2011 and January 1, 2012 in return for a release of certain liabilities
and obligations and indemnification related to contingent underfunded pension liabilities. The
$11.6 million loss related to the Redemption and results of
operations of the Superior have been
included as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The allocable share of net loss of
Superior to the minority interest owner (non-controlling interest), has also been reflected in
discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely
to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses,
results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. From time to time, we
may enter into noncancelable operating leases that would not be reflected on our balance sheet. At
September 30, 2010, we had $21.4 million of undrawn letters of credit outstanding. We are also
contingently liable for performance under $42.3 million in performance bonds relating primarily to
our ready-mixed concrete operations.
Inflation
We did not experience any meaningful increases in operating costs during the third quarter of
2010 related to inflation. When cement prices and certain other raw materials prices, including
aggregates and diesel fuel prices, have increased, we have been able to partially mitigate our cost
increases with price increases we obtained for our products.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to certain risks relating to our ongoing business operations. However,
derivative instruments are not used to hedge these risks. As of December 31, 2009, we were not a
party to any derivative financial instruments. As of September 30, 2010, we are required to account
for derivative instruments as a result of the issuance of warrants and Convertible Notes associated
with our emergence from Chapter 11 (see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements). None of
our derivatives manage business risk or are executed for speculative purposes.
All derivatives are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair values. Each
quarter, we determine the fair value of our derivative liabilities and changes result in income or
loss. The key inputs in determining fair value of our derivative liabilities of $15.9 million at
September 30, 2010 include our stock price, stock price volatility, risk free interest rates and
interest rates for conventional debt of similarly situated companies. Changes in these inputs will
impact the valuation of our derivatives and result in income or loss each quarterly period. A 5%
increase in the stock price, volatility and risk free interest rates would increase the value of
our warrant derivative liability by approximately $0.7 million resulting in a loss in the same
amount. A 5% increase in the stock price, volatility and conventional debt interest rates would
increase the value of our embedded Convertible Notes derivative liability by approximately $2.1 million resulting in a loss in the same amount. During the one month period ending September 30, 2010, we
recorded income from fair value changes in our embedded Convertible Notes derivative of
approximately $0.8 million due primarily to market changes in conventional debt interest rates.
Borrowings under our New Credit Agreement expose us to certain market risks. Interest on
amounts drawn varies based on the floating rates under the agreement. Based on the $5.0 million
outstanding under this facility as of September 30, 2010, a one percent change in the applicable
rate would change our annual interest expense by $0.1 million.
We purchase commodities, such as cement, aggregates and diesel fuel, at market prices and do
not currently use financial instruments to hedge commodity prices.
Our operations are subject to factors affecting the overall strength of the U.S. economy and
economic conditions impacting financial institutions, including the level of interest rates,
availability of funds for construction, and the level of general construction activity. A
significant decrease in the level of general construction activity in any of our market areas has
and may continue to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated revenues and earnings.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2010, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer
evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), which are designed to
provide reasonable assurance that we are able to record, process, summarize and report the
information required to be disclosed in our annual and quarterly reports under the Exchange Act
within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Based on the evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, and made known to our principal
executive officer
43
and principal financial officer, on a timely basis to ensure that it
is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms.
During the three months ended September 30, 2010, there were no changes in our internal control
over financial reporting or in other factors that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
For information about the Chapter 11 Cases involving us, see Note 2 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements in Part I of this report, which we incorporate by reference into
this Item 1. For information about other litigation involving us, see Note 14 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements in Part I of this report, which we incorporate by reference into
this Item 1.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the risk factors described under the heading Risk Factors in Item 1A of Part
I in the 2009 Form 10-K, the following factor could materially and adversely affect our business,
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, as well as the market values of our
securities. These risks are not the only risks that we may face. Additional risks and
uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently view as immaterial may also materially
and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operation or, cash flows or the
market values of our securities.
Risks of trading in an over-the-counter market.
Securities traded in the over-the-counter market generally have significantly less liquidity
than securities traded on a national securities exchange, due to factors such as a reduction in the
number of investors that will consider investing in the securities, the number of market makers in
the securities, reduction in securities analyst and news media coverage and lower market prices
than might otherwise be obtained. As a result, holders of shares of our common stock may find it
difficult to resell their shares at prices quoted in the market or at all. Furthermore, because of
the limited market and generally low volume of trading in our common stock that could occur, the
share price of our common stock could be more likely to be affected by broad market fluctuations,
general market conditions, fluctuations in our operating results, changes in the markets
perception of our business, and announcements made by us, our competitors or parties with whom we
have business relationships. The lack of liquidity in our common stock may also make it difficult
for us to issue additional securities for financing or other purposes, or to otherwise arrange for
any financing we may need in the future, and we may be subject to additional compliance
requirements under applicable state laws in connection with any such issuance. In addition, we may
experience other adverse effects, including, without limitation, the loss of confidence in us by
current and prospective suppliers, customers, employees and others with whom we have or may seek to
initiate business relationships.
