. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2015
.
Accounting period
On December 31, 2015, the Company elected to change its fiscal year from a 52-53 week year ending the Saturday nearest to December 31 to a calendar year ending December 31 effective with fiscal year 2015. The Company made this change prospectively and did not adjust operating results for prior periods. The second quarter of 2015 ended on July 4, 2015 and the second quarter of 2016 ended on June 30, 2016. The change of the month-end date had an insignificant effect on the financial results reported in this Form 10-Q.
Reclassifications
Customer discounts on accounts receivable of $158,000 were reclassifed to accrued expenses on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet for the period ended December 31, 2015. This reclassification had no material effect on previously reported financial position, results of operations or shareholders' equity.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,
"Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments"
, which significantly modifies the recognition of impairment of many financial assets by requiring immediate recognition of estimated credit losses expected to occur over their remaining life.
The amendment should be applied using a modified-retrospective approach, through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period.
The Company did not elect to early adopt the provisions of this ASU and is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02,
"Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis"
, which modifies the consolidation model for reporting organizations under both the variable interest model and the voting interest model. The ASU is generally expected to reduce the number of situations where consolidation is required; however, in certain circumstances, the ASU may result in companies consolidating entities previously unconsolidated. The ASU requires all legal entities to re-evaluate previous consolidation conclusions under the revised model and is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the provisions of this ASU. There was no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03,
"Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,"
which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs. This ASU requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Previously, capitalized debt issuance costs were presented as an asset on the consolidated balance sheets. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the provisions of this ASU and there was no material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. As a result of implementation, the Company reclassified unamortized debt issuance costs from "Deferred charges, net and other non-current assets" to "Long-term debt, less unamortized debt issuance costs" on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Also, amortization expense originally recorded as "Selling, general and administrative expenses" related
to debt acquisition costs for the three and six-month periods ending June 30, 2016 and July 4, 2015 was reclassified as "Interest expense" on the consolidated statements of operations.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, "
Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Measurement-Period Adjustments
," which requires an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. This ASU requires the acquirer record, in the same period's financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments in this ASU also require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. Effective January 1, 2016, the Company adopted the provisions of this ASU. There was no effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09,
"Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting."
The amendments in this updated guidance include changes to simplify the Codification for several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company did not elect to early adopt the provisions of this ASU and is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by either standard, specific identification or weighted average methods. The components of inventories, net, are as follows:

During the first six months of 2016,
no
stock options were exercised by officers and employees of the Company. Stock compensation expense for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 was approximately
$91,000
and
$189,000
, respectively, while stock compensation expense for the three and six-month periods ended July 4, 2015 was approximately
$130,000
and
$273,000
, respectively.
On February 19, 2016, the Compensation & Long-Term Incentive Committee of the Company's Board of Directors approved stock grants under the Company's 2015 Stock Awards Plan to certain management employees of the Company where
50,062
shares with a market price of
$7.51
per share were granted under the Plan. The stock awards vest in
20 percent
increments annually on a cumulative basis, beginning
one year
after the date of grant from shares held in treasury with the Company. In order for the awards to vest, the employee must be in the continuous employment of the Company since the date of the award. Any portion of an award that has not vested is forfeited upon termination of employment. The Company may terminate any portion of the award that has not vested upon an employee's failure to comply with all conditions of the award or the 2015 Stock Awards Plan. An employee is not entitled to any voting rights with respect to any shares not yet vested, and the shares are not transferable.
The diluted earnings per share calculations exclude the effect of potentially dilutive shares when the inclusion of those shares in the calculation would have an anti-dilutive effect. As of June 30, 2016 and July 4, 2015 the Company had weighted average shares of common stock, in the form of stock grants and options, of
269,344
and
93,414
, respectively, which were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation as their effect was anti-dilutive.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal examinations for years before 2013 or state income tax examinations for years before 2011.
The effective tax rate of
25 percent
and
16 percent
for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016, respectively, was lower than the statutory rate of
34 percent
primarily due to state tax expense, taxable life insurance cash surrender value gains and other permanent differences reducing the amount of tax benefit on the pre-tax loss for the year. The effective tax rate of
26 percent
and
28 percent
for the three and six-month periods ended July 4, 2015, respectively, was lower than the
34 percent
statutory rate primarily due to a non-taxable earn-out adjustment made in the first quarter of 2015. The year over year change in the effective rate is primarily related to the Company’s change in pre-tax income, non-taxable earn-out adjustments in 2015 not recurring in 2016 and taxable life insurance cash surrender value gains.
The Company accounts for income taxes for interim periods in accordance with
"ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes"
(“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the tax (or benefit) related to ordinary income (or loss) to be computed at an estimated annual effective tax rate and the tax (or benefit) related to all other items be individually computed and recognized when the items occur unless a reliable estimated annual effective tax rate cannot be calculated. Accordingly, based on forecasted pre-tax earnings compared to current year pretax activity and year to date actual permanent items, the income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was determined based on the actual year-to-date effective tax rate because a reliable estimate of the annual effective tax rate cannot be made.

The Company makes estimates of fair value in accounting for certain transactions, in testing and measuring impairment and in providing disclosures of fair value in its condensed consolidated financial instruments. The Company determines the fair values of its financial instruments for disclosure purposes by maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value disclosures for assets and liabilities are grouped in three levels. The levels prioritize the inputs used to measure the fair value of the assets or liabilities. These levels are:
Level 1
- Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
- Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are less active.
Level 3
- Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity for assets or liabilities and includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

June 30, 2016
Estimates of fair value using levels 2 and 3 may require judgments as to the timing and amount of cash flows, discount rates, and other factors requiring significant judgment, and the outcomes may vary widely depending on the selection of these assumptions. The Company's most significant fair value estimates as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 related to the contingent consideration for Specialty Pipe & Tube, Inc. ("Specialty"), testing goodwill for impairment, the interest rate swaps and disclosures of the fair values of financial instruments.
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and borrowings under the Company's bank debt, which are based on variable interest rates, approximate their fair value. The carrying amount for cash value of life insurance at December 31, 2015 approximates its fair value.
The Company has two Level 2 financial assets and liabilities. These are classified as Level 2 as they are not actively traded and are valued using pricing models that use observable market inputs.
The fair value of the interest rate swap contract entered into on August 21, 2012 was a liability of
$319,000
and
$40,000
at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively. The fair value of the interest rate swap contract entered into on September 3, 2013 was a liability of
$319,000
and
$206,000
at
June 30, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively. The interest rate swaps were priced using discounted cash flow techniques which are corroborated by using non-binding market prices. Changes in its fair value were recorded to other income (expense) with corresponding offsetting entries to long-term assets or liabilities, as appropriate. Significant inputs to the discounted cash flow model include projected future cash flows based on projected one-month
LIBOR
and the average margin for companies with similar credit ratings and similar maturities. The fair value of this interest rate swap contract approximates its carrying value.
The fair value of contingent consideration liabilities ("earn-out") resulting from the Palmer of Texas Tanks, Inc. ("Palmer") and Specialty acquisitions are classified as Level 3. Each quarter-end the Company re-evaluates its assumptions and adjustments to the estimated present value of the expected payments to be made, if required. The fair value of the earn-out liability to the former shareholders of Palmer was reduced to
zero
at April 4, 2015. Accordingly, the Company adjusted the earn-out liability and recognized a gain of approximately
$2,483,000
during the first quarter of 2015. The Palmer earn-out period expired August 21, 2015. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, based upon projected revenue levels, the estimated fair value of the earn-out liability to the former owners of Specialty was
zero
.
There were no transfers of assets or liabilities between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 in the three-month period ended
June 30, 2016
or year ended
December 31, 2015
. During the first six months of 2016, there have been no changes in the fair value methodologies used by the Company.
Pursuant to the Credit Agreement in place with the Company's bank, the Company is subject to certain covenants including maintaining a certain Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), a minimum tangible net worth and a total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio. The Company is also limited to a maximum amount of capital expenditures per year, which is in line with the Company's current projected needs. At March 31, 2016, the Company was not in compliance with the Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio covenant. As a result, on May 4, 2016, the Company obtained a waiver from its bank which waived the breach by the Company and amended the Credit Agreement. The amendment modified the covenant definition to include the add-back of nickel price losses for any future test periods that occur and reduced the maximum revolving line of credit from
$40,000,000
to
$30,000,000
. At June 30, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenants.
The Company is from time-to-time subject to various claims, possible legal actions for product liability and other damages, and other matters arising out of the normal conduct of the Company's business.
On March 11, 2016, in a suit filed by a Metals Segment customer against Synalloy Fabrication, LLC (discontinued operation), the United States District Court of Maryland (Baltimore Division) granted summary judgment regarding liability in favor of the plaintiff by ruling that an enforceable contract existed between the parties and the Company breached the agreement. As a result of this ruling, the remaining issue in the case was the amount of the plaintiff's damages. Consequently, the Company increased the facility closing liability to a level of
$3,000,000
for the estimated costs associated with this claim for the year ended December 31, 2015.

June 30, 2016
In June 2016, the matter was settled for damages totaling
$3,100,000
. As a result, the Company increased the facility closing liability and made a payment of
$2,500,000
in June 2016. The remaining balance of
$600,000
is payable in September 2016 and is included in accrued expenses. The amount required to adjust the facility closing reserve as a result of the settlement is included in discontinued operations on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Other than the matters discussed in this note, management is not currently aware of any other asserted or unasserted matters which could have a material effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

The following is management's discussion of certain significant factors that affected the Company during the six and three-month period ended
June 30, 2016
.
Consolidated net sales for the
second
quarter of
2016
were
$34,907,000
, a decrease of
$15,257,000
or
30 percent
when compared to net sales for the
second
quarter of
2015
of
$50,163,000
. For the first six months of 2016, net sales were
$71,219,000
, a decrease of
$30,593,000
or
30 percent
from the same period of 2015. For the
second
quarter of
2016
, the Company recorded a net loss from continuing operations of
$1,583,000
, or
$0.19
loss per share, compared to net earnings from continuing operations of
$2,455,000
or
$0.28
per share for the same quarter in the prior year. For the first six months of 2016, the Company recorded a net loss from continuing operations of
$2,950,000
or
$0.34
loss per share, compared to net earnings from continuing operations of
$6,093,000
or
$0.70
per share for the first six months of 2015.
Metals Segment
Metals Segment sales for the
second
quarter of
2016
totaled
$22.1 million
, a decrease of
$11.9 million
or
35 percent
from the
second
quarter of
2015
. Sales for the first
six
months of
2016
were
$46.0 million
, a decrease of
$23.4 million
or
34 percent
from
2015
. Sales in prior year periods reflected stronger order shipments across all markets in early 2015, before the precipitous decline in oil prices occurred.
Storage tank sales decreased
$0.1 million
or
1.5 percent
for the second quarter of 2016 and decreased
$1.6 million
or
14.5 percent
for the first six months of 2016 when compared to the same periods for the prior year. The decrease in storage tank sales for the second quarter resulted from a ten percent increase in the number of tanks shipped combined with an eleven percent decrease in average tank selling price. Sales decreased for the first six months of 2016 when compared to the prior year due to a three percent decrease in tanks shipped combined with a twelve percent decrease in average tank selling price.
Heavy-wall, seamless carbon steel pipe and tube sales decreased
$0.7 million
or
16.9 percent
for the second quarter of 2016 and
$3.5 million
or
32.8 percent
for the first six months of 2016 when compared to the same periods for the prior year. The sales decrease for the second quarter was comprised of a three percent decrease in pounds sold combined with a 14 percent decrease in average selling price per pound shipped. For the first six months of 2016, the decrease in sales when compared to the prior year was comprised of a 15 percent decrease in the number of pounds shipped combined with a 19 percent decrease in the average selling price per pound shipped.
Stainless steel pipe sales decreased
$11.1 million
or
44.1 percent
for the second quarter of 2016 and decreased
$18.2 million
or
38.4 percent
for the first six months of 2016 when compared to the same periods for the prior year. The pipe sales for the second quarter resulted from a 14 percent decrease in the number of pounds shipped combined with a 30 percent decrease in the average selling price per pound. The stainless steel pipe sales decrease for the first six months of 2016 resulted from a 13 percent decrease in the number of pounds shipped combined with a 26 percent decrease in average selling prices.
Sales were affected during the second quarter and first six months of 2016 by:
a) Sales in prior periods reflected stronger order shipments across all markets in early 2015, before the precipitous decline in oil prices occurred. Falling nickel prices also continued to weigh heavily on stainless steel pipe sales in 2016. In addition, average nickel prices were down 32 percent and 37 percent for the second quarter and first six months of 2016, respectively, when compared to the same periods of the prior year. Those two impacts drove most of the comparable declines.
b) The decline in storage tank sales for the second quarter and first six months of 2016 when compared to the same periods of the prior year was muted due to the late April, 2015 fire in the fiberglass tank production line that reduced second quarter 2015 volumes.
The Metals Segment's operating results from continuing operations decreased $4.4 million to a loss of
$1.6 million
for the
second
quarter of
2016
compared to a profit of
$2.8 million
for the
second
quarter of
2015
. For the first six months of 2016, operating income from continuing operations for the Metals Segment decreased $8.3 million to a loss of
$2.4 million
for 2016 compared to operating income of $5.9 million for 2015. Current year operating income was affected by the following factors:
|
a)
|
Lost contribution margin due to lower volumes across all segments, as continued low oil and gas prices, as well as sustained lower levels of spending across all industrial classes, had an unfavorable effect on sales and profits for our storage tank and carbon pipe distribution facilities, as well as our stainless steel welded pipe markets.
|
|
b)
|
As a result of a continued low nickel prices during
2016
, the Company experienced inventory nickel margin compression of approximately $1.5 million and $3.0 million for the
second
quarter and first half of 2016, respectively.
|
12
This compares to inventory nickel margin compression of approximately $2.5 million and $3.5 million, respectively, for the same periods of
2015

Sales for the Specialty Chemicals Segment in the second quarter of 2016 were $12.8 million, representing a $3.4 million or 21 percent decrease from the same quarter of 2015. Sales for the first six months of 2016 were $25.2 million, a decrease of $7.2 million or 22 percent from 2015. Pounds shipped during the second quarter of 2016 decreased 23 percent from the same period of 2015 and average selling prices increased three percent. For the first six months of 2016, pounds shipped decreased 16 percent while average selling prices decreased seven percent. Sales were affected during the second quarter and first six months of 2016 by:
a) Lower sales due to in-sourcing of several products by customers who were able to absorb production due to slack demand for their other products, as well as delayed ramp up of several new products due primarily to customer scheduling; and
b) Lower selling prices per pound for oil based products. With the reduction in oil prices, the Segment's raw material costs decreased, which resulted in lower passed through material value as part of the billed selling prices.
Operating income for the second quarters of 2016 and 2015 was $1.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.3 million or 19 percent. For the first six months, operating income was $2.5 million and $3.0 million for 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of $0.5 million or 17 percent. The decrease in operating income for the quarter and first six months was directly related to the lower sales levels. Operating income as a percent of sales for the second quarter improved to 10.3 percent of sales for 2016 compared to 9.7 percent of sales for 2015. For the first six months, operating income as a percent of sales increased to 10.1 percent of sales for 2016 up from 9.3 percent of sales for 2015.

$135,000
or
one percent
from
$11,092,000
,
eleven percent
of sales, for the same period of the prior year. The increase for the six months offset by lower performance based bonuses which decreased $594,000. Total selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively steady for the second quarter.
Acquisition costs for 2015 mainly represent professional fees associated with the Specialty acquisition.
Interest expense for the second quarter of 2016 was $268,000 compared to $321,000 for the second quarter of 2015. For the six months, interest expense decreased to $549,000 for 2016 compared to $698,000 for 2015.
The change in fair value of the interest rate swap contracts increased unallocated expenses for the second quarter of 2016 by $98,000 and decreased unallocated expenses by $183,000 for the second quarter of 2015. For the first six months of 2016, unallocated expenses increased by $392,000 for the change in fair value of the interest rate swap contracts, compared to a decrease of $14,000 for the same period of 2015.
During March 2015, lower oil prices affected the demand for Palmer's storage tank and separator products. It was evident from reviewing March and April financial results that the third year operating results for Palmer would not meet the minimum earn-out levels. As a result, a $2,483,000 favorable adjustment was recorded in the first six months of 2015 to eliminate the remaining balance of Palmer's earn-out liability.
Other income of $134,000 for the second quarter of 2015 represents life insurance proceeds received in excess of cash surrender value for a former officer of the Company.
The Company's effective tax rate was 25 percent and 23 percent for the second quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively. For the first six months, the effective tax rate was 16 percent and 26 percent for 2016 and 2015, respectively. During 2016, state tax expense and permanent differences reduced the amount of tax benefit on the pre-tax loss. The effective tax rate for 2015 reflects the effect of the non-taxable earn-out adjustment.
Liquidity
The Company's cash balance increased
$1,759,000
from
$391,000
at the end of
2015
to
$2,150,000
as of
June 30, 2016
.
a) Net accounts receivable increased
$864,000
at June 30, 2016 when compared to the prior year end, which resulted from a four percent increase in sales for the last two months of the second quarter 2016 compared to the last two
13
months of the fourth quarter 2015. Also, days sales outstanding, calculated using a three-month average basis, decreased 4 days to 50 days outstanding at the end of the second quarter 2016 from 54 days outstanding at the end of 2015;
|
b)
|
Net inventories decreased
$4,275,000
at
June 30, 2016
as compared to year-end
2015
. During the first six months of 2016, the company continued its directive to lower inventory levels. In addition, the replacement costs of raw materials purchased during the first half of 2016 were lower than the average cost of inventory shipped during the period, resulting in lower investment in inventory on a dollar basis at the end of the second quarter. Inventory turns increased five percent from 1.89 turns at December 31, 2015, calculated on a three-month basis, to 1.99 turns at June 30, 2016, primarily due to lower inventory levels;
|
|
c)
|
Accounts payable increased
$2,225,000
as of
June 30, 2016
from the prior year-end. The increase was primarily due to the Company increasing accounts payable days outstanding to 60 days at quarter end;
|
d) During June 2016, the Company cancelled three whole-life insurance policies on prior officers of the Company which resulted in the receipt of $1,502,000 million for their cash surrender value which resulted in the decrease in other assets as of June 30, 2016 when compared to the prior year-end;
e) Accrued expenses decreased $3,039,000 million as of June 30, 2016 from the prior year-end due mainly to the $2.500,000 payment made during June 2016 for the settlement of the Synalloy Fabrication, LLC (discontinued operation) lawsuit.
|
f)
|
Capital expenditures for the
six
months of
2016
were $1,741,000 of which $721,000 was for the Metals heavy wall pipe project at BRISMET; and
|
g) During the first six months of 2016, the Company repurchased 29,500 shares at a cost of $254,000.
The Company had $28,448,000 of bank debt outstanding as of June 30, 2016. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement in place with the Company's bank, the Company is subject to certain covenants including maintaining a certain Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), a minimum tangible net worth and a total liabilities to tangible net worth ratio. The Company is also limited to a maximum amount of capital expenditures per year, which is in line with the Company's current projected needs. At March 31, 2016, the Company was not in compliance with the Total Funded Debt to EBITDA ratio covenant due to nickel price losses. As a result, on May 4, 2016, the Company obtained a waiver to the Credit Agreement and the Company and bank executed an amendment which modified the Total Funded Debt to EBITDA covenant definition to include the add-back of nickel price losses for any future test periods and reduced the maximum revolving line of credit from $40,000,000 to $30,000,000. Based on current forecasts and projections, the Company expects to remain in compliance with the revised debt covenant calculations.
On December 31, 2015, the company elected to change its fiscal year from a 52-53 week year ending the Saturday nearest to December 31 to a calendar year ending December 31 effective with Fiscal year 2015. The Company made this change prospectively and did not adjust operating results for prior periods. The second quarter and first six months of 2015 ended on July 4, 2015 and the second quarter and first six months of 2016 ended on June 30, 2016. The change of month-end date had an insignificant effect on year over year financial statement comparability.
Outlook
Nickel and oil prices continue to weigh heavily on the performance of the Metals Segment. We have seen some recent improvement in both nickel prices and surcharges that the Company receives on the sales of its products. Average nickel prices in the second quarter 2016 were up 6.5 percent over the first quarter 2016, and in July 2016 were up 13 percent over the end of the second quarter. Surcharges for 304 commodity pipe in the second quarter were up 5.5 percent over the first quarter and the current price for September is up 16 percent over the end of the second quarter. Even with the positive activity in nickel prices, the Company has not experienced an increase in sales to our distribution customers. Project activity remains weak and we do not see any indication that will change in the second half of this year.
West Texas Intermediate ("WTI") oil prices showed some strength in the second quarter of 2016, closing the quarter at over $48 per barrel. Since that time prices have declined to the $41 per barrel level. We still believe that North American oil prices need to stabilize above $55 per barrel in order for demand for our storage tanks and carbon seamless pipe to return to normal levels.
The Chemical Segment pipeline of new products is slowly coming on line and we remain optimistic about the next several quarters.

All statements that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements." The words "estimate," "project," "intend," "expect," "believe," "should," "anticipate," "hope," "optimistic," "plan," "outlook," "should," "could," "may" and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including without limitation those identified below, which could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. The following factors could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated: adverse economic conditions; the impact of competitive products and pricing; product demand and acceptance risks; raw material and other increased costs; raw materials availability; employee relations; ability to maintain workforce by hiring trained employees; labor efficiencies; customer delays or difficulties in the production of products; new fracking regulations; a prolonged decrease in oil and nickel prices; unforeseen delays in completing the integrations of acquisitions; risks associated with mergers, acquisitions, dispositions and other expansion activities; financial stability of our customers; environmental issues; unavailability of debt financing on acceptable terms and exposure to increased market interest rate risk; inability to comply with covenants and ratios required by our debt financing arrangements; ability to weather an economic downturn; loss of consumer or investor confidence and other risks detailed from time-to-time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. The Company assumes no obligation to update the information included in this report.
Information about the Company's exposure to market risk was disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2016. There have been no material quantitative or qualitative changes in market risk exposure since the date of that filing.
Based on the evaluation required by 17 C.F.R. Section 240.13a-15(b) or 240.15d-15(b) of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 17 C.F.R. Sections 240.13a-15(e) and 240.15d-15(e)), the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that that such controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company’s subsidiary, Bristol Metals, LLC (“BRISMET”), implemented a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. The implementation of the new ERP system resulted in material changes to the nature and type of BRISMET’s internal controls over financial reporting during the first half of the year. The Company reviewed the implementation effort as well as the impact on its internal controls over financial reporting and where appropriate, is making changes to these controls over financial reporting to address these system changes. The Company expects the transition period to be completed in 2016 as controls evolve under the new system. The Company believes the internal control changes resulting from the new ERP implementation at BRISMET will improve the overall control environment. There were no other changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
15
It is not unusual for us and our subsidiaries to be involved in various unresolved legal actions, administrative proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business involving, among other things, product liability, commercial, employment, workers' compensation, intellectual property claims and environmental matters. We establish reserves in a manner that is consistent with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for costs associated with such matters when a liability is probable and those costs are capable of being reasonably estimated. We cannot predict with any certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions or the range of possible loss or recovery. Based on current information, however, we believe that the eventual outcome of these unresolved legal actions, either individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. There were no material changes in our Legal Proceedings, as discussed in Part I, Item 3 in the Company's Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2015, other than those discussed in Note 10 in Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report
There were no material changes in our assessment of risk factors as discussed in Part I, Item 1A in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.
