EXPLANATORY NOTE



This Amendment No. 2 to American Locker Group Incorporated’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as originally filed on April 1, 2013 (the “original Form 10-K”) and amended by Amendment No. 1 to the original Form 10-K filed on April 9, 2013, is being filed in response to comments we received from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission. This Amendment No. 2 amends Amendment No. 1 to correct a reference in paragraph one of Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, which are the certifications required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(a). The certifications that were filed with Amendment No. 1 incorrectly referenced the original Form 10-K rather than Amendment No. 1 to which they were attached.



No attempt has been made in this Amendment No. 2 to modify or update any disclosures presented in the original Form 10-K or Amendment No. 1, other than the changes noted above and to revise Item 15 and the Exhibit Index. This Amendment No. 2 does not reflect events occurring subsequent to the filing of the original Form 10-K or to modify or update any disclosures therein, other than as noted above. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 2 should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the filing of the original Form 10-K, including any amendments to those filings.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.



REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



Board of Directors

American Locker Group Incorporated



We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of American Locker Group Incorporated and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2012. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index at Item 15(2). These consolidated financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits.



We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and schedule, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and schedule. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.



In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of American Locker Group Incorporated and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements



American Locker Group Incorporated and Subsidiaries



December 31, 2012



1. Basis of Presentation



Consolidation and Business Description



The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American Locker Group Incorporated and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), all of which are wholly owned. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company is a leading manufacturer and distributor of lockers, locks and keys. The Company’s lockers can be categorized as either lockers or mailboxes. Mailboxes are used for the delivery of mail. Most lockers are key controlled checking lockers. The Company is best known for manufacturing and servicing the key and lock system with the plastic orange cap. The Company serves customers in a variety of industries in all 50 states and in Canada, Mexico, Europe, Asia and South America.



Certain 2011 and 2010 financial statement line items have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.



2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies



Cash and Cash Equivalents



Cash and cash equivalents include currency on hand and demand deposits with financial institutions. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents on deposit in amounts in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant risk.



Accounts Receivable



The Company grants credit to its customers and generally does not require collateral. Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value and do not accrue interest. Management uses judgmental factors such as a customer’s payment history and the general economic climate, as well as considering the age of and past due status of invoices in assessing collectability and establishing allowances for doubtful accounts. Accounts receivable are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted.



Estimated losses for bad debts are provided for in the consolidated financial statements through a charge to expense of approximately $48,000, $23,000 and $31,000 for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The net charge-off of bad debts was approximately $29,000, $1,300 and $113,000 for 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.



Inventories



Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market value using the FIFO method and are categorized as raw materials, work-in-progress or finished goods.



The Company records reserves for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the actual cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions and management’s review of existing inventory. If actual demand and market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory reserves resulting in a charge to expense would be required.



Property, Plant and Equipment



Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line and declining-balance methods for financial reporting purposes and by accelerated methods for income tax purposes. Estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes are 20 to 40 years for buildings and 3 to 12 years for machinery and equipment. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the life of the building or the lease term. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Gains and losses resulting from the sale or disposal of property and equipment are included in other income.








Long-lived assets, including intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of those assets may not be recoverable in accordance with appropriate guidance. The Company uses undiscounted cash flows to determine whether impairment exists and measures any impairment loss using discounted cash flows. The Company recorded no asset impairment charges related to property, plant and equipment in 2012, 2011 or 2010.



Depreciation expense was $744,094 in 2012, of which $728,869 was included in cost of products sold, and $15,225 was included in selling, administrative and general expenses. Depreciation expense was $671,009 in 2011, of which $651,237 was included in cost of products sold, and $19,772 was included in selling, administrative and general expenses. Depreciation expense was $336,037 in 2010, of which $277,580 was included in cost of products sold, and $58,457 was included in selling, administrative and general expenses.



Pensions and Postretirement Benefits



The Company has two defined benefit plans which recognize a net liability or asset and an offsetting adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to report the funded status of the plans. The plan assets and obligations are measured at their year-end balance sheet date. Refer to Note 10 “Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits” for further detail on the plans.



Revenue Recognition



The Company recognizes revenue upon passage of title and when risks and rewards have passed to customers, which occurs at the time of shipment to the customer. The Company derived approximately 25.5%, 16.9% and 19.4% of its revenue in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, from sales to distributors. These distributors do not have a right to return unsold products; however, returns may be permitted in specific situations. Historically, returns have not had a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations. Revenues are reported net of discounts and returns and net of sales tax.



For concession operations, the Company recognizes revenue when receipts are collected. Revenue is recognized for the Company’s proportional share of receipts with the remaining amounts collected recorded as an accrued liability until they are remitted to the concession contract counterparty.



Shipping and Handling Costs



Shipping and handling costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, administrative and general expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. These costs were approximately $674,000, $696,000 and $579,000 during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.



Advertising Expense



The cost of advertising is generally expensed as incurred. The cost of catalogs and brochures are recorded as a prepaid cost and are expensed over their useful lives, generally one year. The Company incurred approximately $165,000, $149,000 and $134,000 in advertising costs during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.



Income Taxes



The Company and its domestic subsidiaries file a consolidated U.S. income tax return. Canadian operations file income tax returns in Canada. Hong Kong operations file income tax returns in Hong Kong. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with appropriate accounting guidance. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be applied to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the Company’s deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.



Pursuant to appropriate accounting guidance, ASC-740—Income Taxes, when establishing a valuation allowance, the Company considers future sources of taxable income such as “future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards” and “tax planning strategies.” Appropriate accounting guidance defines a tax planning strategy as “an action that: is prudent and feasible; an enterprise ordinarily might not take, but would take to prevent an operating loss or tax credit carryforward from expiring unused; and would result in realization of deferred tax assets.” In the event the Company determines that the deferred tax assets will not be realized in the future, the valuation adjustment to the deferred tax assets is charged to earnings in the period in which the Company makes such a determination. If it is later determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized, the Company will release the valuation allowance to current earnings.








The amount of income taxes the Company pays is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities. The Company’s estimate of the potential outcome of any uncertain tax issue is subject to management’s assessment of relevant risks, facts and circumstances existing at that time, pursuant to appropriate accounting guidance. Appropriate accounting guidance requires a more-likely-than-not threshold for financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company records a liability for the difference between the benefit recognized and measured pursuant to appropriate accounting guidance and tax position taken or expected to be taken on the tax return. To the extent that the Company’s assessment of such tax positions changes, the change in estimate is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. The Company reports tax-related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense.



Research and Development



The Company engages in research and development activities relating to new and improved products. It expended approximately $99,000, $77,000 and $108,000 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for such activity in its continuing businesses. Research and development costs are included in selling, administrative and general expenses.



Earnings Per Share



The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with appropriate accounting guidance. Under appropriate accounting guidance basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of stock options, whereas diluted earnings per share assumes exercise of stock options, when dilutive, resulting in an increase in outstanding shares. Please refer to Note 13 for further information.



Foreign Currency



In accordance with appropriate accounting guidance the Company translates the financial statements of the Canadian and Hong Kong subsidiaries from its functional currency into the U.S. dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Income statement amounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the year. All translation gains and losses resulting from the changes in exchange rates from year to year have been reported in other comprehensive income. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from current year exchange rate transactions are insignificant for all years presented.



Fair Value of Financial Instruments



The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and long-term debt approximate fair value.



Comprehensive Income



Comprehensive income consists of net income, foreign currency translation and minimum pension liability adjustments and is reported in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.



Use of Estimates



The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, product returns, pension, post-retirement benefits, contingencies, and deferred tax asset valuation allowance. Actual results could differ from those estimates.








New Accounting Pronouncements



In June 2011, the FASB issued amendments to guidance regarding the presentation of comprehensive income (ASU 2011-05—Comprehensive Income). The amendments eliminate the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments require that comprehensive income be presented in either a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. In a single continuous statement, the entity would present the components of net income and total net income, the components of other comprehensive income and a total of other comprehensive income, along with the total of comprehensive income in that statement. In the two-statement approach, the entity would present components of net income and total net income in the statement of net income and a statement of other comprehensive income would immediately follow the statement of net income and include the components of other comprehensive income and a total for other comprehensive income, along with a total for comprehensive income. The amendments also require the entity to present on the face of the financial statements any reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. The amendments do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income, when an item of other comprehensive income must be re-classed to net income or the option to present components of other comprehensive income either net of related tax effects or before related tax effects. The amendments, excluding the specific requirement to present on the face of the financial statements any reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented which was deferred by the FASB in December 2011, are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and are to be applied retrospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 in the first quarter of 2012. Upon adoption, the Company elected the two-statement approach and presents a separate consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.



3. Sale of Property



On September 18, 2009, the Company sold its headquarters and primary manufacturing facility to the City of Grapevine, Texas (the “City”) for a purchase price of $2,747,000.



The Company was entitled to continue to occupy the facility, through December 31, 2010 at no cost. The City has further agreed to pay the Company’s relocation costs within the Dallas-Fort Worth area and to pay the Company’s real property taxes for the facility through June 2011. During May 2011, the Company relocated its corporate headquarters and primary manufacturing facility from Grapevine, Texas to a new 100,500 sq. ft. building in DFW Airport, Texas. The Company received a $341,000 payment towards the moving costs at closing which was recorded as “Deferred revenue” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010. The Company offset $211,768 of moving expense against deferred revenue in 2011. The difference of $129,232 between the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2010 and the amount offset against moving expenses was recorded as “Other income.” Proceeds of the sale were used to pay off the $2 million mortgage secured by the property and for general working capital purposes.



The Company invested approximately $875.000 during 2011 for leasehold improvements and machinery and equipment related to relocating.



4. Disneyland Concession Agreement



On September 24, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Disney Agreement”) with Disneyland Resort, a division of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts U.S., Inc., and Hong Kong International Theme Parks Limited, (collectively referred to as “Disney”) to provide locker services under a concession arrangement. Under the Disney Agreement, the Company installed, operates and maintains electronic lockers at Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California and at Hong Kong Disneyland Park in Hong Kong.



The Company installed approximately 4,300 electronic lockers under the Disney Agreement. The Company retains ownership of the lockers and receives a portion of the revenue generated by the locker operations. The term of the Disney Agreement is five years, with an option to renew for one year at Disney’s option, and operations began in late November 2010. The Agreement contains a buyout option at the end of each contract year and a provision to compensate the Company in the event Disney terminates the Agreement without cause.



Under appropriate accounting guidance, the Company capitalized its costs related to the Disney Agreement and the Company is depreciating such costs over the five year term of the agreement. The Company recognizes revenue for its portion of the revenue as it is collected.

On December 8, 2010, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with BAML, pursuant to which the Company obtained a $1 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $2.5 million revolving line of credit (the “Line of Credit”). On November 9, 2012, the Company entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Amendment”) that included the addition of a $500,000 draw note (the “Draw Note”). On November 9, 2012, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Loan Agreement, which extended availability under the Draw Note, and the maturity date of the Line of Credit, to October 31, 2013.



The Draw Note is to be used to fund the Company’s investment in future concession contracts. The Company can draw up to $500,000 on the Draw Note before October 31, 2013. The Company will pay interest only on the Draw Note through November 27, 2013, after which the Company will pay interest and principal so that the balance will be paid in full as of October 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2012 there were no borrowings on the Draw Note.



The proceeds of the Term Loan were used to fund the Company’s investment in lockers used in the Disney Agreement. The proceeds of the Line of Credit will be used primarily for working capital needs in the ordinary course of business and for general corporate purposes.



The Company can borrow, repay and re-borrow principal under the Line of Credit from time to time during its term, but the outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit may not exceed the lesser of the borrowing base or $2,500,000. For purposes of the Line of Credit, “borrowing base” is calculated by multiplying eligible accounts receivable of the Company by 80% and eligible raw material and finished goods by 50%. As of December 31, 2012, there was $1,300,000 outstanding on the Line of Credit.



The outstanding principal balances of the Line of Credit, the Draw Note and the Term Loan bear interest at the one month LIBOR rate plus 375 basis points (3.75%). Accrued interest payments on the outstanding principal balance of the Line of Credit are due monthly, and all outstanding principal payments under the Line of Credit, together with all accrued but unpaid interest, is due at maturity, or October 31, 2013. Payments on the Term Loan, consisting of $16,667 in principal plus accrued interest, began in 2011. The entire outstanding balance of the Term Loan is due on December 8, 2015.



The Loan Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory and equipment pursuant to a Security Agreement between the Company and BAML (the “Credit Security Agreement”).



The Credit Security Agreement and Loan Agreement contain covenants, including financial covenants, with which the Company must comply, including a debt service coverage ratio and a funded debt to EBITDA ratio. Subject to the Lender’s consent, the Company is prohibited under the Credit Security Agreement and the Loan Agreement, except under certain circumstances, from incurring or assuming additional debt and from permitting liens to be placed upon any of its property, assets or revenues. Additionally, the Company is prohibited from entering into certain transactions, including a merger or consolidation, without the Lender’s consent.








8. Operating Leases



The Company leases several operating facilities, vehicles and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. The Company accounts for operating leases on a straight line basis over the lease term. Future minimum lease payments consist of the following at December 31, 2012:





|2013       |  | $ | 467,386   | 
|---------- |  | - | --------- | 
|2014       |  |   | 452,602   |

|Thereafter |  |   | 349,113   | 
|Total      |  | $ | 2,576,828 | 



Rent expense amounted to approximately $407,600, $380,800 and $34,000 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.



9. Income Taxes



For financial reporting purposes, income before income taxes includes the following during the years ended December 31:





|                            |  | 2012 |          |   | 2011 |   |         | 2010 |

Significant components of the provision for income taxes are as follows:





|              |  | 2012 |         |   | 2011 |   |        | 2010 |

|              |  | $    | 131,433 |   |      | $ | 43,516 |      | 



The differences between the federal statutory rate and the effective tax rate as a percentage of income before taxes are as follows:





|                                                       |  | 2012 |     |    | 2011 |  |     | 2010 |

Differences between the application of accounting principles and tax laws cause differences between the bases of certain assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and tax purposes. The tax effects of these differences, to the extent they are temporary, are recorded as deferred tax assets and liabilities. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31 are as follows:





|                                |  | 2012 |            |   | 2011 |  
|------------------------------- |  | ---- | ---------- | - | ---- | -

|Property, plant and equipment   |  | $    | (192,136   | ) |      | $
|Prepaid expenses and other      |  |      | (4,599     | ) |      |  
|Total deferred tax liabilities  |  |      | (196,735   | ) |      |  
|Deferred tax assets:            |  |      |            |   |      |  
|Operating loss carryforwards    |  |      | 1,209,966  |   |      |  
|Postretirement benefits         |  |      | 22,047     |   |      |  
|Pension costs                   |  |      | 691,824    |   |      |  
|Allowance for doubtful accounts |  |      | 52,385     |   |      |  
|Other assets                    |  |      | 5,719      |   |      |  
|Accrued expenses                |  |      | 171,444    |   |      |  
|Other employee benefits         |  |      | 16,009     |   |      |  
|Inventory costs                 |  |      | 85,742     |   |      |  
|Total deferred tax assets       |  |      | 2,255,136  |   |      |  
|Net                             |  |      | 2,058,401  |   |      |  
|Valuation allowance             |  |      | (1,142,633 | ) |      |  
|Net                             |  | $    | 915,768    |   |      | $
|Current deferred tax asset      |  | $    | 287,417    |   |      | $
|Long-term deferred tax asset    |  |      | 628,351    |   |      |  
|                                |  | $    | 915,768    |   |      | $



As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s gross deferred tax assets were approximately $2,058,000 and $1,705,000, respectively. Gross deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2012 reflect the benefit of approximately $2,993,000 in net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes which are available to offset future income tax and expire in varying amounts between 2027 and 2032. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income prior to expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards. Due to negative evidence, primarily limited operating income, indicating that a valuation allowance is required, gross deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 of approximately $1,142,000 and $699,000, respectively. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced. Increases in the valuation allowance in 2012 are primarily due to decreased forecasted future U.S. taxable income exclusive of timing reversals.



The Company has not provided deferred taxes for taxes that could result from the remittance of undistributed earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiary since it has generally been the Company’s intention to reinvest these earnings indefinitely. Undistributed earnings that could be subject to additional income taxes if remitted were approximately $164,000 at December 31, 2012.



The Company files an income tax return in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Texas, and a number of other U.S. state and local jurisdictions. Tax returns for the years 2008 through 2012 remain open for examination in various tax jurisdictions in which it operates. On January 1, 2007 the Company adopted the provisions of a new accounting pronouncement that addresses the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements. As a result of this adoption, the Company recognized no material adjustment in the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, and at December 31, 2012, there were no unrecognized tax benefits. As of December 31, 2012, no interest related to uncertain tax positions had been accrued.



10. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits



U.S. Pension Plan



The Company maintains a defined benefit pension plan for its domestic employees (the “U.S. Plan”), which was frozen effective July 15, 2005. Accordingly, no new benefits are being accrued under the U.S. Plan. Participant accounts are credited with interest at the federally mandated rates. Company contributions are based on computations by independent actuaries.



The plan’s assets are invested in a balanced index fund (the “Fund”) where the assets were invested during 2010, 2011 and 2012. The principal investment objective of the Fund is to provide an incremental risk adjusted return compared to a portfolio invested 50% in stocks and 50% in bonds over a full market cycle. Under normal market conditions, the average asset allocation for the Fund is expected to be approximately 50% in stocks and 50% in bonds. This benchmark allocation may be adjusted by up to 20% based on economic or market conditions and liquidity needs. Therefore, the stock allocation may fluctuate from 30% to 70% of the total portfolio, with a corresponding bond allocation of from 70% to 30%. Fund reallocation may take place at any time.








Canadian Pension Plan



Effective January 1, 2009, the Company converted its pension plan for its Canadian employees (the “Canadian Plan”) from a noncontributory defined benefit plan to a defined contribution plan. Until the conversion, benefits for the salaried employees were based on specified percentages of the employees’ monthly compensation. The conversion of the Canadian Plan has the effect of freezing the accrual of future defined benefits under the plan. Under the defined contribution plan, the Company will contribute 3% of employee compensation plus 50% of employee elective contributions up to a maximum contribution of 5% of employee compensation.



The Canadian Plan’s assets are invested in various pooled funds (the “Canadian Funds”) managed by a third party fund manager. The principal investment objective of the Canadian Funds is to provide an incremental risk adjusted return compared to a portfolio invested 50% in stocks and 50% in bonds over a full market cycle. Under normal market conditions, the average asset allocation for the Canadian Funds is expected to be approximately 50% in stocks and 50% in bonds. This benchmark allocation may be adjusted based on economic or market conditions and liquidity needs.



On July 6, 2012, the U.S. Government enacted the “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act”, which contained provisions that changed the interest rate methodology used to calculate Employee Retirement Income Security Act (“ERISA”) minimum pension funding requirements in the U.S. This change reduced the Company’s near-term annual cash funding requirements for the U.S. pension plan. Contributions to be made to the plan in 2013 are expected to approximate $100,000 for the U.S. Plan and $79,000 for the Canadian Plan. However, contributions for 2014 and beyond have not been quantified at this time.



The change in projected benefit obligation, change in plan assets and reconciliation of funded status for the plans were as follows:

The estimated net loss that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income for net periodic pension cost over the next year is $116,000 and $37,516 for the U.S. Plan and Canadian Plan, respectively.



Net pension expense is included in selling, administrative and general expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. The components of net pension expense for the plans were as follows:

The Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Topic require the categorization of financial assets and liabilities, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities and lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy are described as follows:





| | Level 1 – | Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in an active market that the Company has the ability to access.
| | --------- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





| | Level 2 – | Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
| | --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------





| | Level 3 – | Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.
| | --------- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



The fair value hierarchy of the plan assets are as follows:

Benefit obligations are determined using assumptions at the end of each fiscal year and are not impacted by expected rate of return on plan assets. The weighted average assumptions used in computing the benefit obligations for the plans were as follows:





|                                                |  | U.S. Plan |      |   | Canadian Plan |

The weighted average assumptions used in computing net pension expense for the plans were as follows:

|----------------------------------------------- |  | --------- | ---- | - | ------------- |

|Weighted average assumptions as of December 31: |  |           |      |   |               | 
|Discount rate                                   |  |           | 4.50 | % |               | 
|Expected return on plan assets                  |  |           | 7.50 | % |               | 
|Rate of compensation increase                   |  |           | —    |   |               | 



The expected return on plan assets is based upon anticipated returns generated by the investment vehicle. Any shortfall in the actual return has the effect of increasing the benefit obligation. The benefit obligation represents the actuarial present value of benefits attributed to employee service rendered; assuming future compensation levels are used to measure the obligation. The accumulated benefit obligation for the U.S. Plan was $4,100,047 and $3,829,727 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The accumulated benefit obligation for the Canadian Plan was $1,500,537 and $1,441,482 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.



Death Benefit Plan



The Company also provides a death benefit for retired former employees of the Company. Effective in 2000, the Company discontinued this benefit for active employees. The death benefit is not a funded plan. The Company pays the benefit upon the death of the retiree. The Company has fully recorded its liability in connection with this plan. The liability was approximately $64,000 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and is recorded as long-term pension and other benefits in the accompanying balance sheets. No expense was recorded in 2012, 2011 or 2010 related to the death benefit, as the plan is closed to new participants.



Defined Contribution Plan



During 1999, the Company established a 401(k) plan for the benefit of its U.S. full-time employees. Under the Company’s 401(k) plan, the Company makes an employer matching contribution equal to $0.10 for each $1.00 of an employee’s salary contributions up to a total of 10% of that employee’s compensation. The Company’s contributions vest over a period of five years. The Company recorded expense of approximately $12,000, $4,000 and $12,000 in connection with its contribution to the plan during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.



Effective January 1, 2009, the Company converted the Canadian Plan from a defined benefit plan to a defined contribution plan. Under the defined contribution plan, the Company will contribute 3% of employee compensation plus 50% of employee elective contributions up to a maximum contribution of 5% of employee compensation. The Company recorded expense of approximately $4,600, $4,000 and $4,000 in connection with its contribution to the plan during 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.








11. Capital Stock



The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, authorizes 4,000,000 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, and 200,000 shares of preferred stock have been designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock. During 2012, the Company issued 3,986 shares of common stock as compensation to the directors and 3,334 shares as compensation to executive officers, and increased other capital by $3,917 representing compensation expense of $11,237. During 2011, the Company issued 26,313 shares of common stock as compensation to the directors and 11,580 shares as compensation to executive officers, and increased other capital by $19,207 representing compensation expense of $57,100. As of December 31, 2012, 1,879,319 shares of common stock had been issued, of which 1,687,319 shares were outstanding, and zero shares of preferred stock were outstanding.



12. Stock-Based Compensation



In 1999, the Company adopted the American Locker Group Incorporated 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, permitting the Company to provide incentive compensation of the types commonly known as incentive stock options, stock options and stock appreciation rights. The price of option shares or appreciation rights granted under the Plan shall not be less than the fair market value of common stock on the date of grant, and the term of the stock option or appreciation right shall not exceed ten years from date of grant. Upon exercise of a stock appreciation right granted in connection with a stock option, the optionee shall surrender the option and receive payment from the Company of an amount equal to the difference between the option price and the fair market value of the shares applicable to the options surrendered on the date of surrender. Such payment may be in shares, cash or both at the discretion of the Company’s Stock Option-Executive Compensation Committee.



At December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no stock appreciation rights outstanding.



Key inputs and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock options include the grant price of the award, the expected option term, volatility of the Company’s stock, the risk-free rate, estimated forfeitures and the Company’s dividend yield. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of the original estimates of fair value made by the Company.



No stock options were granted during 2012, 2011 and 2010, and no stock option expense was recorded.



The following table sets forth the activity related to the Company’s stock options for the years ended December 31:

The Company did not have any customers that accounted for more than 10% of consolidated sales in 2012, 2011, or 2010.



At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had unsecured trade receivables from governmental agencies of approximately $8,000 and $26,000, respectively. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had trade receivables from customers considered to be distributors of approximately $583,000 and $334,000, respectively.



At December 31, 2012, the Company had six customers that accounted for 27.0% of accounts receivable. At December 31, 2011, the Company had four customers that accounted for 43.2% of accounts receivable. Other concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the large number of entities comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across many industries.



15. Contingencies



In July 2001, the Company received a letter from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (the “NYSDEC”) advising the Company that it is a potentially responsible party (PRP) with respect to environmental contamination at and alleged migration from property located in Gowanda, New York which was sold by the Company to Gowanda Electronics Corporation prior to 1980. In March 2001, the NYSDEC issued a Record of Decision with respect to the Gowanda site in which it set forth a remedy including continued operation of an existing extraction well and air stripper, installation of groundwater pumping wells and a collection trench, construction of a treatment system in a separate building on the site, installation of a reactive iron wall covering 250 linear feet, which is intended to intercept any contaminates and implementation of an on-going monitoring system. The NYSDEC has estimated that its selected remediation plan will cost approximately $688,000 for initial construction and a total of $1,997,000 with respect to expected operation and maintenance expenses over a 30-year period after completion of initial construction. The Company has not conceded to the NYSDEC that the Company is liable with respect to this matter and has not agreed with the NYSDEC that the remediation plan selected by NYSDEC is the most appropriate plan. This matter has not been litigated, and at the present time the Company has only been identified as a PRP. The Company also believes that other parties may have been identified by the NYSDEC as PRPs, and the allocation of financial responsibility of such parties has not been litigated. To the Company’s knowledge, the NYSDEC has not commenced implementation of the remediation plan and has not indicated when construction will start, if ever. Based upon currently available information, the Company is unable to estimate timing with respect to the resolution of this matter. The Company’s primary insurance carrier has assumed the cost of the Company’s defense in this matter, subject to a reservation of rights.








Beginning in September 1998 and continuing through the date of filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company has been named as an additional defendant in approximately 234 cases pending in state court in Massachusetts and 1 in the state of Washington. The plaintiffs in each case assert that a division of the Company manufactured and furnished components containing asbestos to a shipyard during the period from 1948 to 1972 and that injury resulted from exposure to such products. The assets of this division were sold by the Company in 1973. During the process of discovery in certain of these actions, documents from sources outside the Company have been produced which indicate that the Company appears to have been included in the chain of title for certain wall panels which contained asbestos and which were delivered to the Massachusetts shipyards. Defense of these cases has been assumed by the Company’s insurance carrier, subject to a reservation of rights. Settlement agreements have been entered in approximately 35 cases with funds authorized and provided by the Company’s insurance carrier. Further, over 167 cases have been terminated as to the Company without liability to the Company under Massachusetts procedural rules. Therefore, the balance of unresolved cases against the Company as of March 25, 2013, the most recent date information is available, is approximately 32 cases.



While the Company cannot estimate potential damages or predict what the ultimate resolution of these asbestos cases may be because the discovery proceedings on the cases are not complete, based upon the Company’s experience to date with similar cases, as well as the assumption that insurance coverage will continue to be provided with respect to these cases, at the present time, the Company does not believe that the outcome of these cases will have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s operations or financial condition.



On February 5, 2013, the Company was notified by one of its customers that certain product purchased by that customer had quality issues. On March 11, 2013, the Company and the customer entered into an agreement whereby the Company will reimburse the customer for reasonable costs and expenses incurred on or before December 31, 2013 by the customer in its efforts to resolve the quality issue. The Company has no current obligation to reimburse the customer for costs incurred after December 31, 2013 and has in place liability coverage for third-party injury and property damage that might occur as a result of the product’s quality issue. At December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a liability of $50,000 for estimated costs to be reimbursed to the customer pursuant to the terms of the agreement.



The Company is involved in other claims and litigation from time to time in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe these matters will have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s operations or financial condition.



16. Restructuring



In 2009, the Company restructured its business operations to rationalize its cost structure in an uncertain economic environment. The restructuring included plans for the relocation and consolidation of its Ellicottville, New York operations into its Texas facility. This planned relocation resulted in severance and payroll charges during the year ended December 31, 2009 of $264,000. At December 31, 2012 the balance remaining of such payments was $27,900 and the Company expects to make such payment before March 31, 2013.



During the second quarter of 2012, the Company commenced the Ellicottville relocation, resulting in the realization of expense for discontinued inventory, severance and professional fees to complete the move. As a result, the Company recorded a restructuring charge in 2012 of approximately $283,900.



When completed, the restructuring and relocation is expected to result in approximately $240,000 in annual cost savings. Accrued restructuring expenses of $39,900 are included in “Other accrued expenses” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, while the $89,000 increase to inventory obsolescence is included in “Inventory reserve.”



The following table analyzes the changes incurred related to the Company’s reserve with respect to the restructuring plan for the year ended December 31, 2012:
