NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands except share and per share data, unless otherwise indicated)
1. Basis of Presentation and Responsibility for Interim Financial Statements
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Orbital ATK, Inc. ("the Company" or "Orbital ATK") as set forth in this quarterly report have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes and other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States can be condensed or omitted. The Company’s accounting policies are described in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Amended Transition Report on Form 10-K/A ("Form 10-K/A") for the nine-month transition period ended December 31,
2015
filed on February 24, 2017 with the SEC. Management is responsible for the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this document. The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this document are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of
July 3, 2016
, its results of operations for the quarter and
six months ended July 3, 2016
and
July 5, 2015
and cash flows for the six months ended July 3, 2016 and July 5, 2015. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 was derived from the audited financial statements included in the Form 10-K/A but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("U.S. GAAP") for complete financial statements.
On February 9, 2015, the Company completed a tax-free spin-off of and distribution of its former Sporting Group to its stockholders (the "Distribution") as a new public company called Vista Outdoor Inc. ("Vista Outdoor"). Immediately following the Distribution, the Company combined with Orbital Sciences Corporation ("Orbital") through the merger of a Company subsidiary with Orbital (the "Merger"). These transactions are discussed in greater detail in Note 5. Following the Distribution and Merger, the Company changed its name from Alliant Techsystems Inc. to Orbital ATK, Inc.
As a result of the Distribution, Sporting Group is no longer reported within the Company’s results from continuing operations but is reported as a discontinued operation for all prior periods presented. The Company used the acquisition method to account for the Merger; accordingly, the results of Orbital have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of the Merger.
Following the Distribution and Merger, the Company reorganized its business groups and realigned its reporting segments. The Company’s remaining businesses, combined with the businesses of Orbital, are now reported in
three
segments: Flight Systems Group, Defense Systems Group and Space Systems Group, as discussed in Note 20. The business that composed Sporting Group is presented as a discontinued operation - see Note 5.
Sales, expenses, cash flows, assets and liabilities can and do vary during the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be the same as those for the full year. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to current year presentation.
This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes included in its Form 10-K/A.
Fiscal Year Change and the presentation of the Six Months Ended July 5, 2015.
On March 10, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors approved a change in the Company's fiscal year end from March 31 to a calendar year ending on December 31 of each year. The Company's interim quarterly periods are based on 13-week periods and ending on the Sunday closest to the last calendar day of each of March, June and September. The Company filed a Transition Report on Form 10-K for the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2015 on March 15, 2016, which was subsequently amended on February 24, 2017. Information in this document referring to the six months ended July 5, 2015, includes the Company's restated results for the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and July 5, 2015 as disclosed in the Company's Form 10-K/A. Additionally, the restated results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 were also reported in the Amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 3, 2016 (filed with the SEC on April 3, 2017).
Restatement of Previously Issued Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In this Form 10-Q, the Company has restated its unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the quarter ended July 5, 2015 as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K/A.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Updates Adopted
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, Compensation--Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting,
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands except share and per share data, unless otherwise indicated)
which requires the recognition of the income tax effects of awards in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled, thus eliminating additional paid in capital pools. The guidance also allows for the employer to repurchase a greater number of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting. In addition, the guidance allows for a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur rather than on an estimated basis. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The Company elected to early adopt this ASU in the quarter ended April 3, 2016. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share (or Its Equivalent), which removes the requirement to categorize within the fair value hierarchy all investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. Such investments should be disclosed separate from the fair value hierarchy. This ASU became effective retrospectively for the Company beginning in the quarter ended April 3, 2016. The adoption of this new standard did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements but impacted certain disclosures reflected in the notes to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, and in August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of- credit Arrangements. These ASUs more closely align the treatment of debt issuance costs with debt discounts and premiums and requires debt issuance costs to be presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt. The amendments in these ASUs became effective during the Company's first quarter ended April 3, 2016. The adoption of these new standards impacted the presentation of the current and prior period debt issuance costs included in Note 12.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which simplifies the consolidation evaluation process by placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest. This new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Updates Issued But Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases under previous generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company currently is evaluating the potential changes from this ASU to its future financial reporting and disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which will replace numerous requirements in U.S. GAAP, including industry-specific requirements, and provide companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of the new standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Under the new standard, the Company expects to continue using the cost-to-cost percentage of completion method to recognize revenue for most of its long-term contracts. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. The Company has not yet selected a transition method. In July 2015, the FASB approved the deferral of the new standard's effective date by one year. The new standard now will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASB will permit companies to adopt the new standard early, but not before the original effective date of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company currently is evaluating the potential changes from this ASU to its future financial reporting and disclosures.
Other new pronouncements issued but not effective for the Company until after July 3, 2016 are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's continuing financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

3. Restatement
In February 2017, the Company filed the Form 10-K/A to restate its consolidated financial statements for the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2015 ("2015 transition period"), fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 ("fiscal 2015"), fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 ("fiscal 2014"), the quarters in the 2015 transition period and fiscal 2015 (the "Restatement") to correct errors primarily related to (i) the estimation of contract costs at completion on the long-term contract (the “Lake City Contract”) with the U.S. Army to manufacture and supply small caliber ammunition at the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant ("LCAAP") causing a forward loss provision to not be identified timely and recorded in prior periods; and (ii) correcting the Company’s accounting policy for measurement of forward loss provisions. In this Form 10-Q, the Company restated its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement of comprehensive income for the quarter ended July 5, 2015 for the consequential impact of these errors.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, in consultation with senior management, determined that the Company should conduct an internal investigation, under its supervision, of the circumstances surrounding the misstatements in the accounting for the Lake City Contract and related matters. The investigation was undertaken by outside counsel, along with independent counsel for the Audit Committee. Counsel received assistance from outside forensic accountants. As disclosed in the Form 10-K/A, the investigation was previously completed.
Based on the internal investigation, the Audit Committee and senior management concluded as follows: Certain personnel at the Small Caliber Systems Division and, in some cases, Defense Systems Group, acted inappropriately and failed to adhere to the high standards established in the Company’s policies and expected by senior management and the Board of Directors. Specifically, with respect to the Lake City Contract: (a) there likely was a bias toward maintaining a targeted profit rate; (b) in some cases, there appears to have been inappropriate use of management reserves to maintain the targeted profit rate; (c) some members of the Small Caliber Systems Division finance staff failed to follow up and inquire further into indicators that cost overruns were occurring, and if such inquiries had been made, it could have led to further contemporaneous discussion and an earlier conclusion that the Lake City Contract was in a forward loss position; and (d) negative information was suppressed, and concerns at the Small Caliber Systems Division about cost overruns were not escalated appropriately to higher-level Company management or finance staff, nor were they communicated to the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors or the independent registered public accounting firms.
The Lake City Contract is within the Small Caliber Systems Division, a business unit within the Company’s Defense Systems Group, and is a fixed price contract accounted for under the percentage of completion revenue recognition method. The Lake City Contract was entered into in September 2012. It has an initial term of seven years plus the possibility of an award term extension of an additional three years if by July 17, 2017 the Company does not provide written notice of rejection to the U.S. Army. It is probable that the Company will provide written notice of rejection to the U.S. Army. As a result, the Restatement presents the total estimated forward loss provision for the initial seven-year term.
Management identified that the underlying contract costs estimated at completion for the Lake City Contract in prior periods contained misstatements which, when corrected, resulted in the Lake City Contract’s estimated costs at completion exceeding the contracted revenues. This necessitated a forward loss charge for the seven-year term of the Lake City Contract to be recorded for the entire anticipated forward loss on the contract in the period in which the loss became evident. The Company determined that
$31,500
of the loss was evident at contract signing (second quarter of fiscal 2013) and
$342,000
became evident at the time of initial production (second quarter of fiscal 2014) and restated those periods and the consequential impact in subsequent periods.
Due to the contract loss identified at the Lake City facility, the Company recognized an impairment charge for the long lived assets capitalized for the Lake City Ammunition Plant asset group in fiscal 2014. Subsequent to the impairments, costs incurred for the purchase or construction of additional long-lived assets related to this contract were expensed in the periods incurred, as such costs will not be recovered, and the depreciation expense recorded in subsequent periods was revised. The impairment charge recognized on long lived assets was
$8,962
and
$3,576
in the quarters ended March 31, 2015 and
July 5, 2015
, respectively.
The Company corrected its accounting policy from measurement of a forward loss provision based on gross profit to measurement based on gross profit along with general and administrative costs and adjusted the previously recorded forward loss provisions. The Company's prior accounting policy for measurement of a forward loss excluded general and administrative costs from the forward loss determination resulting in an incorrect measurement of a forward loss as these costs should be included in the measurement. The aggregate impact of this correction to the contract loss reserve liability, excluding the
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands except share and per share data, unless otherwise indicated)
adjustment for the Lake City Contract, was an increase of
$3,707
at July 5, 2015. As part of the correction in accounting policy, the Company also reclassified certain forward loss provisions recorded in net receivables to the contract loss reserve liability.
In addition to the matters in (i) and (ii) described above, the Company also corrected for (iii) certain immaterial out of period adjustments previously recorded in the Transition Report on Form 10-K for the nine month period ending December 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on March 15, 2016 that related to misstatements in the application of purchase accounting with respect to acquired long-term contracts accounted for under the percentage of completion revenue recognition method and (iv) various other misstatements which are immaterial both individually and in the aggregate and which were identified during an account review and analysis exercise.
A summary of the impact of these matters on income (loss) from continuing operations, before income taxes and
noncontrolling interest is presented below:

4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The current authoritative guidance on fair value clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.
The valuation techniques required by the current authoritative literature are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3—Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure its financial instruments at fair value.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands except share and per share data, unless otherwise indicated)
Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
—In order to manage its exposure to commodity pricing, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk on debt, the Company periodically utilizes commodity, foreign currency and interest rate derivatives, which are considered Level 2 instruments. As discussed further in Note 8, the Company has outstanding commodity forward contracts that were entered into to hedge forecasted purchases of copper and zinc, as well as outstanding foreign currency forward contracts that were entered into to hedge forecasted transactions denominated in a foreign currency. Commodity derivatives are valued based on prices of futures exchanges and recently reported transactions in the marketplace. The Company currently holds
five
interest rate swaps with a total notional value of
$400,000
. These swaps are valued based on future LIBOR rates and the established fixed rate is based primarily on quotes from banks. Foreign currency derivatives are valued based on observable market transactions of spot currency rates and forward currency prices.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, other than derivatives, which include net receivables, inventory, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other current assets and liabilities, are reasonable estimates of their related fair values. The fair value of the variable-rate long-term debt is calculated based on current market rates for debt of the same risk and maturities. The fair value of the fixed-rate debt is based on market quotes for each issuance. The Company considers these to be Level 2 instruments.
The Company’s non-financial instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis include goodwill, indefinite-lived intangible assets and long-lived tangible assets. The valuation methods used to determine fair value require a significant degree of management judgment to determine the key assumptions. As such, the Company generally classifies non-financial instruments as either Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements.
The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Investments in marketable securities
—The Company has investments in marketable securities held in a common collective trust ("CCT") that are primarily fixed income securities used to pay benefits under a nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan for certain executives and highly compensated employees. Investments in a collective investment vehicle are valued by multiplying the investee company's net asset value per share with the number of units or shares owned at the valuation date as determined by the investee company. Net asset value per share is determined by the investee company's custodian or fund administrator by deducting from the value of the assets of the investee company all of its liabilities and
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands except share and per share data, unless otherwise indicated)
dividing the resulting number by the outstanding number of shares or units. Investments held by the CCT, including collateral invested for securities on loan, are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service approved by the CCT's investment manager, which determines valuations using methods based on market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders, or at fair value as determined in good faith by the CCT's investment manager. The fair value of these securities, not subject to leveling, is included within other noncurrent assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of these securities is measured on a recurring basis and was
$11,448
and
$12,065
as of
July 3, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively.
5. Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestitures
On February 9, 2015, the Company completed the spin-off and Distribution of its former Sporting Group to its stockholders and merged with Orbital pursuant to a transaction agreement, dated April 28, 2014 (the "Transaction Agreement"). The Company completed the Merger with Orbital in order to create a global aerospace and defense company with greater technical and industrial capabilities and increased financial resources. Both the Distribution and Merger were structured to be tax-free to U.S. stockholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Under the Transaction Agreement, a subsidiary of the Company merged with and into Orbital, with Orbital continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
Pursuant to the Distribution, Company stockholders received
two
shares of Vista Outdoor for each share of Company common stock held. The Company distributed a total of approximately
63.9 million
shares of Vista Outdoor common stock to its stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 2, 2015 the record date for the Distribution. As a result of the Distribution, Sporting Group is no longer reported within the Company’s results from continuing operations but is reported as a discontinued operation for all prior periods presented in accordance with ASC Topic 205, "Presentation of Financial Statements." Sales reported as discontinued operations were $
186,000
for the six months ended July 5, 2015.
In connection with the Merger, each outstanding share of Orbital common stock was converted into the right to receive
0.449
shares of Company common stock. The Company issued approximately
27.4 million
shares of common stock to Orbital stockholders. Immediately following the Merger, Orbital stockholders owned
46.2%
of the common stock of the Company and existing stockholders owned
53.8%
. Based on the closing price of the Company's common stock following the Distribution on February 9, 2015 as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, the aggregate value of the consideration paid or payable to former holders of Orbital common stock was approximately
$1,800,000
. The Company used the acquisition method to account for the Merger; accordingly, the results of Orbital have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of the Merger.

27.4 million
Orbital ATK shares issued to Orbital shareholders multiplied by
$63.94
, the closing share price of the Company’s common stock on the closing date of the Merger.
|
|
|
(2)
|
The fair value of replacement equity-based awards attributable to pre-Merger service was recorded as part of the consideration transferred in the Merger.
|
The consideration paid for Orbital's assets and liabilities was determined using the fair market value of the Company stock issued on the closing date of the Merger along with restricted stock awards granted to certain employees of Orbital.
Goodwill recognized from the Merger primarily relates to the expanded market opportunities, expected synergies and benefits of increased scale and scope of combined human, physical and financial resources attributable to merging the operations of the
two
companies. As stated above, the Merger was a tax-free transaction and as such, goodwill is not amortized for tax purposes.
In determining the fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, a review was conducted for any significant contingent assets or liabilities existing as of the Merger date. There were no significant contingencies identified related to any legal or government action.
The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the
six months ended July 3, 2016
included a measurement period adjustment of
$6,000
pertaining to the fair value of intangibles. All elements in the determination of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Merger were completed during the quarter ended April 3, 2016.

Supplemental Pro Forma Data
The following unaudited supplemental pro forma data for the

The pro forma results were calculated by combining the results from continuing operations of the Company with the stand-alone results of Orbital for the pre-Merger period, which were adjusted to eliminate historical sales between the companies and to account for certain costs which would have been incurred during this pre-Merger period:

Ongoing Business with Vista Outdoor
In conjunction with the Distribution
,
the Company entered into
two
supply agreements and
one
transition services agreement ("TSA") with Vista Outdoor. The supply agreements call for Vista Outdoor to purchase certain minimum quantities of ammunition and gun powder from the Company through March 2017 or 2018, as applicable. The supply agreements which are priced at arms-length expire in 2017 (powder) and 2018 (ammunition) and may be extended in
one
-to-
three
year increments. Under the terms of the TSA, the Company provided Vista Outdoor with administrative services for
12
months following the Distribution and will provide tax-related services through August 31, 2016. At the option of Vista Outdoor, the Company may provide tax-audit related services to Vista Outdoor through August 31, 2017. Fees for services under the TSA are charged to Vista Outdoor.
Sales to Vista Outdoor under the supply agreements were
$44,443
and
$109,111
for the quarter and
six months ended July 3, 2016
, respectively; and
$57,439
and
$76,367
for the quarter and period from the date of Distribution to July 5, 2015, respectively. Prior to the Merger, sales to Sporting Group, previously reported as intercompany sales and eliminated in consolidation were
$13,595
for the
six months ended July 5, 2015
.

7. Earnings Per Share Data
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and increased to include the dilutive effect of outstanding share-based equity awards for each period.
In computing basic and diluted EPS for both the quarter and
six months ended July 3, 2016
and
July 5, 2015
, the reported earnings for each respective period were divided by the weighted-average shares outstanding, determined as follows (in thousands):

8. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in commodity prices affecting the cost of raw materials and energy, interest rates and foreign exchange risks. In the normal course of business, these risks are managed through a variety of strategies, including the use of derivative instruments. Commodity forward contracts are periodically used to hedge forecasted purchases of certain commodities, foreign currency exchange contracts are used to hedge forecasted transactions denominated in a foreign currency, and the Company periodically uses interest rate swaps to hedge forecasted interest payments and the risk associated with variable interest rates on long-term debt.
The Company entered into forward contracts for copper and zinc in 2016. The contracts establish a fixed price for the underlying commodity and are designated and qualify as effective cash flow hedges of purchases of the commodity. Ineffectiveness is calculated as the amount by which the change in the fair value of the derivatives exceeds the change in the fair value of the anticipated commodity purchases.
The Company entered into interest rate swaps in fiscal 2014 in order to manage interest costs and the risk associated with variable rates, whereby the Company pays a fixed rate on a total notional amount of
$400,000
and receives one-month LIBOR. The fair value of interest rate swap agreements approximates the amount at which they could be settled, based on future LIBOR, and the established fixed rate is based primarily on quotes from banks. The Company performs assessments of the effectiveness of hedge instruments on a quarterly basis and determined the hedges to be highly effective. The counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements expose the Company to credit risk in the event of nonperformance. At
July 3, 2016
, the outstanding swap agreements were in a net liability position which would require the Company to make the net settlement payments to the counterparties if the agreements were settled as of that date. The Company does not anticipate nonperformance by the Company's counterparties. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
The Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts in 2016 to hedge forecasted cash payments to a customer. This transaction was designated and qualified as an effective cash flow hedge. Ineffectiveness with respect to forecasted inventory purchases or customer cash receipts is calculated based on changes in the forward rate until the anticipated purchase or cash receipt occurs; ineffectiveness of the hedge of the accounts payable is evaluated based on the change in fair value of its anticipated settlement.
The fair values of the commodity and foreign currency forward contracts are recorded in other assets or liabilities, as appropriate, and the effective portion is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income in the financial statements. The gains or losses on the commodity forward contracts are recorded in inventory as the commodities are purchased and in cost of sales when the related inventory is sold. The gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts are recorded in earnings when the related inventory is sold or customer cash receipts are received.

The ineffective portion of derivative instruments was not material and no derivatives were excluded from effectiveness testing during the quarters and
six months ended July 3, 2016
and
July 5, 2015
; accordingly, the Company did not recognize any related gains or losses in the income statement.
All derivatives used by the Company during the periods presented were designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes.
The Company expects the remaining unrealized losses will be realized and reported in cost of sales as the cost of the commodities is included in cost of sales. Estimated and actual gains or losses will change as market prices change.

Senior Credit Facility
In September 2015, the Company refinanced its former senior credit facility with a new senior credit facility (the "Senior Credit Facility"), which is comprised of a term loan of
$800,000
(the "Term Loan A") and a revolving credit facility of
$1,000,000
(the "Revolving Credit Facility"), which mature in 2020. The Term Loan A is subject to quarterly principal payments of
$10,000
, with the remaining balance due at maturity. Substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and certain domestic subsidiaries, excluding real property, are pledged as collateral under the Senior Credit Facility. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility bear interest at a per annum rate equal to either the sum of a base rate plus a margin or the sum of a LIBOR rate plus a margin. Each margin is based on the Company's total leverage ratio. In compliance with the terms of the Senior Credit Facility, the current base rate margin is
0.50%
and the current LIBOR margin is
1.50%
. The weighted-average interest rate for the Term Loan A, after taking into account the interest rate swaps discussed below, was
2.34%
at
July 3, 2016
. The Company pays a quarterly commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility based on its total leverage ratio. Based on the Company's current total leverage ratio, this fee currently is
0.25%
. As of
July 3, 2016
, the Company had borrowings of
$50,000
under the Revolving Credit Facility and had outstanding letters of credit of
$141,338
, which reduced amounts available on the Revolving Credit Facility to
$808,662
. There are unamortized debt issuance

5.50% Senior Notes
In September 2015, the Company issued
$400,000
aggregate principal amount of
5.50%
Senior Notes (the "5.50% Notes") that mature on October 1, 2023. These notes are general unsecured obligations. Interest on these notes is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The Company has the right to redeem some or all of these notes from time to time on or after October 1, 2018, at specified redemption prices. Prior to October 1, 2018, the Company may redeem some or all of these notes at a price equal to
100%
of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption and a specified make-whole premium. In addition, prior to October 1, 2018, the Company may redeem up to
35%
of the aggregate principal amount of these notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings, at a price equal to
105.5%
of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Debt issuance costs of
$6,136
related to these notes are being amortized to interest expense over
eight years
, the term of the notes.
5.25%
Senior Notes
In fiscal 2014, the Company issued
$300,000
aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Senior Notes (the "5.25% Notes") that mature on October 1, 2021. These notes are general unsecured obligations. Interest on these notes is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The Company has the right to redeem some or all of these notes from time to time on or after October 1, 2016, at specified redemption prices. Prior to October 1, 2016, the Company may redeem some or all of these notes at a price equal to
100%
of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption and a specified make-whole premium. In addition, prior to October 1, 2016, the Company may redeem up to
35%
of the aggregate principal amount of these notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings, at a price equal to
105.25%
of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Debt issuance costs of
$2,625
related to these notes are being amortized to interest expense over
eight years
, the term of the notes.
Interest Rate Swaps
At
July 3, 2016
, the Company had interest rate swap agreements in order to manage interest costs and the risk associated with variable interest rates - see Note 8.
Rank and Guarantees
The 5.50% Notes and the 5.25% Notes are the Company’s general unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future subordinated indebtedness and are effectively subordinated to all existing and future senior secured indebtedness, including the Senior Credit Facility, to the extent of the collateral. The 5.50% Notes and the 5.25% Notes are guaranteed on an unsecured basis, jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally, by substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The Senior Credit Facility obligations are guaranteed on a secured basis, jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally, by substantially all of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. All of these guarantor subsidiaries are
100%
owned by the Company. The Company, exclusive of these guarantor subsidiaries, has no independent operations or material assets. The guarantee by any Subsidiary Guarantor of the Company's obligations in respect of the 5.50% Notes and the 5.25% Notes will be released in each of the following circumstances:
|
|
•
|
if, as a result of the sale of its capital stock, such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary;
|
|
|
•
|
if such Subsidiary Guarantor is designated as an "Unrestricted Subsidiary" with respect to the 5.25% Notes and the 5.50% Notes;
|
|
|
•
|
upon defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the 5.25% Notes and the 5.50% Notes, as applicable; and
|
|
|
•
|
if such Subsidiary Guarantor has been released from its guarantees of indebtedness under the credit agreement governing the Senior Credit Facility (the "Credit Agreement") and all capital markets debt securities.

Covenants and Default Provisions
The Company's Senior Credit Facility and the indentures governing the 5.50% Notes and the 5.25% Notes impose restrictions on the Company, including limitations on its ability to incur additional debt, enter into capital leases, grant liens, pay dividends and make certain other payments, sell assets, or merge or consolidate with or into another entity. In addition, the Senior Credit Facility limits the Company's ability to enter into sale-and-leaseback transactions. The 5.50% Notes and 5.25% Notes limit the aggregate sum of dividends, share repurchases, and other designated restricted payments to an amount based on the Company’s net income, stock issuance proceeds, and certain other items since April 1, 2001, less restricted payments made since that date. The Senior Credit Facility allows the Company to make unlimited "restricted payments" (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which, among other items, would allow payments for future stock repurchases, as long as the Company maintains a certain amount of liquidity and maintains certain senior secured debt limits, with a limit, when those senior secured debt limits are not met, of
$250,000
plus proceeds of any equity issuances plus
50%
of net income since October 7, 2010. The Senior Credit Facility also requires the Company to meet and maintain specified financial ratios, including a minimum interest coverage ratio and a maximum consolidated total leverage ratio. The Company's debt agreements contain cross-default provisions so that noncompliance with the covenants within one debt agreement could cause a default under other debt agreements as well. The Company's ability to comply with these covenants and to meet and maintain the financial ratios may be affected by events beyond its control. Borrowings under the Senior Credit Facility are subject to compliance with these covenants. As of July 3, 2016, the Company was in compliance with the financial covenants.

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company changed the approach used to measure service and interest costs for pension and other postretirement benefits. Prior to January 1, 2016, the Company measured service and interest costs utilizing a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the plan obligations. For 2016, the Company has elected to measure service and interest costs by applying the specific spot rates along that yield curve to the plans’ liability cash flows. The Company believes the new approach provides a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by aligning the timing of the plans’ forecasted cash flows to the corresponding spot rates on the yield curve. This change does not affect the measurement of plan obligations. The Company accounted for this change on a prospective basis as a change in accounting estimate, resulting in lower pension expense compared to the method used prior to January 1, 2016.
Employer Contributions.
During the
six months ended July 3, 2016
, the Company contributed
$7,200
to the pension trust. The Company also paid
$4,173
to retirees in connection with its nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan and
$3,326
to retirees in connection with its other postretirement benefit plans.
During the remainder of 2016, the Company anticipates making pension contributions of approximately
$32,300
in order to meet the minimum required contributions for 2016. The Company anticipates making additional payments of approximately
$1,295
to retirees under the nonqualified plan and
$4,163
to retirees in connection with its other postretirement benefit plans during the remainder of
2016
.
14. Income Taxes
The Company’s income taxes include federal, foreign and state income taxes. Income taxes for interim periods are based on estimated effective annual income tax rates.
The effective income tax rates for the quarters ended
July 3, 2016
and
July 5, 2015
, were
31.0%
and
32.4%
(as restated), respectively. The decrease in the rate from the
quarter ended July 5, 2015
is primarily due to a decrease in state tax expense and increased benefits from the Domestic Manufacturing Deduction and the Research and Development tax credit in the
quarter ended July 3, 2016
.
The effective income tax rates for the
six months ended July 3, 2016
and
July 5, 2015
were
28.4%
and
56.2%
, respectively. The decrease in the rate from the
six months ended July 5, 2015
is primarily due to the impact of goodwill impairment and nondeductible transaction costs in the
six months ended July 5, 2015
as well as increased benefits from the Domestic Manufacturing Deduction and the Research and Development tax credit in the
six months ended July 3, 2016
.
The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal, various U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2010. The IRS has completed the audits of the Company through fiscal 2012 and is currently auditing the Company's income tax returns for fiscal years 2013 and 2014. The Company believes appropriate provisions for all outstanding issues have been made for all remaining open years in all jurisdictions.
Although the timing and outcome of audit settlements are uncertain, it is reasonably possible that a
$3,454
reduction of the uncertain tax benefits will occur in the next
12 months
. The settlement of these unrecognized tax benefits could result in an increase in net income from
$0
to
$2,672
.

, the Company had authorized up to
3,750,000
common shares under the 2015 Stock Incentive Plan, of which
2,813,165
common shares were available to be granted. No new grants will be made out of the other
four
plans.
There are
five
types of awards outstanding under the Company's stock incentive plans: performance awards, total stockholder return performance awards ("TSR awards"), restricted stock units, restricted stock and stock options. The Company issues treasury shares upon (i) the payment of performance awards, TSR awards and restricted stock units, (ii) the grant of restricted stock, and (iii) the exercise of stock options.
Restricted Stock Units.
Pursuant to the terms of the Transaction Agreement and under the terms of the ATK 2005 Stock Incentive Plan, all of the performance awards and TSR awards outstanding as of February 9, 2015 were converted into time-vesting restricted stock units with vesting periods corresponding to the respective performance periods. During the
six months ended July 3, 2016
,
40,707
shares were issued upon the vesting of restricted stock units for the performance period ending in 2016. As of
July 3, 2016
, there were
54,258
restricted stock units outstanding for the performance period ending in 2017.
Performance Awards.
Performance shares are valued at the fair value of the Company's stock as of the grant date and expense is recognized based on the number of shares expected to vest under the terms of the award under which they are granted.
As of
July 3, 2016
, there were
81,689
shares reserved for executive officers and key employees for the performance period beginning April 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2017. Of these shares, up to
50%
will become payable only upon achievement of a financial performance goal relating to absolute earnings per share growth; and up to
50%
will become payable only upon achievement of a performance goal relating to absolute sales growth.
As of
July 3, 2016
, there were
73,802
shares reserved for executive officers and key employees for the performance period beginning January 1, 2016 and ending December 31, 2018. Of these shares, up to
50%
will become payable only upon achievement of a financial performance goal relating to return on investment of capital; and up to
50%
will become payable only upon achievement of a performance goal relating to absolute sales growth.
TSR Awards.
As of
July 3, 2016
, there were
73,802
shares and
81,689
shares reserved for TSR awards for key employees for the fiscal year 2016-2018 and 2015-2017 performance periods, respectively. The Company used an integrated Monte Carlo simulation model to determine the fair value of the TSR awards. The Monte Carlo model calculates the probability of satisfying the market conditions stipulated in the award. This probability is an input into the trinomial lattice model used to determine the fair value of the awards as well as the assumptions of other variables, including the risk-free interest rate and expected volatility of the Company's stock price in future periods. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. dollar-denominated U.S. Treasury strip rate with a remaining term that approximates the life assumed at the date of grant. There were
73,802
TSR awards granted with a fair value of
$87.85
per share and
3,208
TSR awards granted with a fair value of
$94.93
per share during the
six months ended July 3, 2016
.
Restricted Stock Awards.
Restricted stock granted to non-employee directors and certain key employees totaled
159,902
shares during the
six months ended July 3, 2016
. Restricted shares vest over periods generally ranging from
one
to
three
years from the date of award and are valued at the fair value of the Company's common stock as of the grant date.
Stock Options.
Stock options are granted periodically, with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant, and generally vest from
one
to
three
years from the date of grant. Options are generally granted with
seven
-year or
ten
-year terms. The weighted-average fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and represents the difference between fair market value on the date of grant and the estimated market value on the expected exercise date. The option pricing model requires the Company to make assumptions. The risk-free rate is based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a remaining term that approximates the expected life assumed at the date of grant. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock over the past
seven
years. The expected option life is based on the contractual term of the stock option and expected employee

exercise and post-vesting employment termination trends. There were
72,328
stock options granted during the
six months ended July 3, 2016
with a weighted-average fair value of
$20.53
per stock option. There were
74,543
stock options granted during the
six months ended July 5, 2015
with a weighted-average fair value of
$39.44
per stock option.
Stock-based compensation expense totaled
$6,451
and $
11,091

six months ended July 3, 2016
, respectively, and
$9,003
and $
22,323
in the quarter and
six months ended July 5, 2015
, respectively. The income tax benefit recognized for stock-based compensation was
$2,459
and $
4,263
during the quarter and
six months ended July 3, 2016
, respectively, and
$3,466
and $
7,621
during the quarter and

, respectively.
16. Contingencies
Litigation.
From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings, including lawsuits, which arise out of, and are incidental to, the conduct of the Company's business. The Company does not consider any of such proceedings that are currently pending, individually or in the aggregate, notwithstanding that the unfavorable resolution of any matter may have a material effect on net earnings in any particular quarter, to be material to its business or likely to result in a material adverse effect on its operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
U.S. Government Investigations.
The Company is also subject to U.S. Government investigations from which civil, criminal or administrative proceedings could result. Such proceedings could involve claims by the U.S. Government for fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages, restitution and/or forfeitures. Under government regulations, a company, or one or more of its operating divisions or subdivisions, can also be suspended or debarred from government contracts, or lose its export privileges, based on the results of investigations. The Company believes, based upon all available information, that the outcome of any such pending government investigations will not have a material adverse effect on its operating results, financial condition or cash flows.
Claim Recovery.
Profits expected to be realized on contracts are based on management's estimates of total contract sales value and costs at completion. Estimated amounts for contract changes and claims are included in contract sales only when realization is estimated to be probable. Unbilled receivables included
$26,999
and
$25,042
as of
July 3, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively, for contract claims.
Environmental Liabilities.
The Company's operations and ownership or use of real property are subject to a number of federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations, including those for discharge of hazardous materials, remediation of contaminated sites and restoration of damage to the environment. At certain sites that the Company owns or operates or formerly owned or operated, there is known or potential contamination that the Company is required to investigate or remediate. The Company could incur substantial costs, including remediation costs, resource restoration costs, fines, and penalties, or third party property damage or personal injury claims, as a result of liabilities associated with past practices or violations of environmental laws or noncompliance with environmental permits.
The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”), along with other parties, in several regulatory agency actions associated with hazardous waste sites. As a PRP, the Company may be required to pay a share of the costs of the investigation and clean-up of these sites. While uncertainties exist with respect to the amounts and timing of the ultimate environmental liabilities, based on currently available information, the Company has concluded that these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on operating results, financial condition, or cash flows.
The Company could incur substantial costs, including cleanup costs, resource restoration, fines and penalties or third party property damage or personal injury claims, as a result of violations or liabilities under environmental laws or noncompliance with environmental permits. While environmental laws and regulations have not had a material adverse effect on the Company's operating results, financial condition, or cash flows in the past and the Company has environmental management programs in place to mitigate these risks, it is difficult to predict whether they will have a material impact in the future.
The liability for environmental remediation represents management's best estimate of the present value of the probable and reasonably estimable costs related to known remediation obligations. The receivable represents the present value of the amount that the Company expects to recover, as discussed below. Both the liability and receivable have been discounted to reflect the present value of the expected future cash flows, using a discount rate of
0.3%
and
0.7%
as of
July 3, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively. The Company's discount rate is calculated using the
20
-year Treasury constant maturities rate, net of an estimated inflationary factor of
1.9%
, rounded to the nearest quarter percent.

Amounts expected to be paid or received in periods more than
one
year from the balance sheet date are classified as noncurrent. Of the
$42,723
discounted liability as of
July 3, 2016
,
$5,708
was recorded in other current liabilities and
$37,015
was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities. Of the
$19,425
discounted receivable, the Company recorded
$3,313
in other current assets and
$16,112
in other noncurrent assets. As of
July 3, 2016
, the estimated discounted range of reasonably possible costs of environmental remediation was
$42,723
to
$80,899
.
The Company expects that a portion of its environmental compliance and remediation costs will be recoverable under U.S. Government contracts. Some of the remediation costs that are not recoverable from the U.S. Government that are associated with facilities purchased in a business acquisition are covered by various indemnification agreements, as described in Note 16 to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Form 10-KT/A for the nine-month transition period ended December 31, 2015.
17. Share Repurchases
On March 11, 2015, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to the lesser of
$75,000
or
1.0 million
shares of its common stock through December 31, 2015. On August 4, 2015, the Board of Directors increased the amount authorized for repurchase to the lesser of
$100,000
or
1.4 million
shares of the Company's common stock. On
October 29, 2015
, the Board of Directors increased the amount authorized for repurchase to the lesser of
$250,000
or
3.25 million
shares through December 31, 2016.
Under the authorized repurchase program, shares of the Company's common stock may be purchased from time to time in the open market, subject to compliance with applicable laws and regulations and the Company’s debt covenants, depending upon market conditions and other factors. The Company purchased
194,003
shares for
$16,839
and
528,104
shares for
$44,241
during the quarter and
six months ended July 3, 2016
, respectively. The Company purchased
328,841
shares for
$24,502
during the quarter and
six months ended July 5, 2015
.
In accordance with the Transaction Agreement entered into on April 28, 2014, the Company did not repurchase any outstanding shares prior to the closing of the Distribution and Merger during the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
18. Changes in Estimates
The majority of our sales are accounted for as long-term contracts, which are accounted for using the percentage of completion method. Accounting for contracts under the percentage of completion method requires judgment relative to assessing risks and estimating contract revenues and costs. Profits expected to be realized on contracts are based on management’s estimates of total contract sales value and costs at completion. Estimated amounts for contract changes, including scope and claims, are included in contract sales only when realization is probable. Assumptions used for recording sales and earnings are modified in the period of change to reflect revisions in contract value and estimated costs. In the period in which it is determined that a loss will be incurred on a contract, the entire amount of the estimated loss, based on gross profit along with general and administrative costs, is charged to cost of sales. Changes in estimates of contract value, costs or profits are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. The cumulative effect of a change in estimate is recognized in the period a change in estimate occurs.
Changes in contract estimates occur for a variety of reasons including changes in contract scope, unforeseen changes in contract cost estimates due to unanticipated cost growth or risks affecting contract costs and/or the resolution of contract risks at lower costs than anticipated, as well as changes in contract overhead costs over the performance period. Changes in estimates could have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or annual results of operations.
Aggregate net changes in contract estimates recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting increased operating income by approximately
$56,000
and
$4,000
(as restated) for the quarters ended
July 3, 2016
and
July 5, 2015
, respectively. The changes in estimates for the
quarter ended July 3, 2016
were attributable to profit margin improvements in all segments, primarily in Space Systems Group and Flight Systems Group. The changes in estimates for the
quarter ended July 5,
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
(Amounts in thousands except share and per share data, unless otherwise indicated)
2015
were attributable to profit margin improvements in Flight Systems Group, which were partially offset by reductions in profit margins in Space Systems Group and Defense Systems Group.
Aggregate net changes in contract estimates recognized using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting increased operating income by approximately
$83,000
and
$44,000
for the
six months ended July 3, 2016
and
July 5, 2015
, respectively. The changes in estimates for the
six months ended July 3, 2016
were attributable to profit margin improvements in all segments, primarily in Space Systems Group and Flight Systems Group. The changes in estimates for the
six months ended July 5, 2015
were attributable to profit margin improvements in Defense Systems Group and Flight Systems Group, which were partially offset by reductions in profit margins in Space Systems Group. Estimated costs to complete on loss contracts at
July 3, 2016
and December 31, 2015 were
$1,299,490
and
$1,392,218
, respectively.
19. Restructuring Costs
The Company had restructuring liabilities for termination benefits of
$593
and $
3,589
and facility-related costs of
$20,830
and
$26,154
, at
July 3, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
, respectively. The decrease in restructuring liabilities for the quarter and
six months ended July 3, 2016
, was primarily attributed to cash expenditures for termination benefits and facilities.
20. Operating Segment Information
The Company operates its business structure within
three
operating groups. These operating segments ("groups") are defined based on the reporting and review process used by the Company's chief executive officer and other management. The operating structure aligns the Company's capabilities and resources with its customers and markets and positions the Company for long-term growth and improved profitability.

Certain administrative functions are primarily managed by the Company at the corporate headquarters ("Corporate"). Some examples of such functions are human resources, pension and postretirement benefits, corporate accounting, legal, tax and treasury. Significant assets and liabilities managed at Corporate include those associated with debt, restructuring, pension and postretirement benefits, environmental liabilities, litigation liabilities, strategic growth costs and income taxes.
Costs related to the administrative functions managed by Corporate are either recorded at Corporate or allocated to the segments based on the nature of the expense. The difference between pension and postretirement benefit expense calculated under U.S. GAAP and the expense calculated under U.S. Cost Accounting Standards is recorded at the corporate level which provides for greater clarity on the operating results of the business segments. Administrative expenses such as corporate accounting, legal and treasury costs are allocated out to the business segments. Environmental expenses are allocated to each segment based on the origin of the underlying environmental cost. Transactions between segments are recorded at the segment level, consistent with the Company's financial accounting policies. Intercompany balances and transactions involving different

segments are eliminated at the Company's consolidated financial statements level and are shown above in Corporate. The amortization expense related to purchase accounting attributed to the acquisition of Orbital is also recorded in Corporate.
21. Subsequent Events
As a result of the Restatement, the Company was unable to timely file its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q with the SEC for the fiscal quarters ended July 3, 2016 and October 2, 2016 ("the 2016 Quarterly Reports"), as well as its Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2016. The Company has entered into an extension agreement with its Senior Credit Facility lender group to extend, until April 14, 2017, the deadline under the Senior Credit Facility for filing with the SEC the 2016 Quarterly Reports, as well as an amended Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2016 and the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2016. As a result of the extension, the Company is in compliance with the financial covenants as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q based on the Company's restated financial results.
Securities Class Action
. On August 12, 2016, a putative class action complaint, naming the Company, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer as defendants, was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (Steven Knurr, et al. v. Orbital ATK, Inc., No. 16-cv-01031 (TSE-MSN)). The class action complaint asserts claims on behalf of purchasers of Orbital ATK securities for violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, arising out of allegedly false and misleading statements and the failure to disclose that: (i) the Company lacked effective control over financial reporting; and (ii) as a result, the Company failed to record an anticipated loss on its long-term contract with the U.S. Army to manufacture and supply small caliber ammunition at the U.S. Army’s Lake City Army Ammunition Plant. The complaint seeks a determination that this matter is a proper class action and certifying the plaintiff as the class representative, an award of damages, an award of reasonable costs and expenses of trial, including counsel and expert fees, and an award of such other relief as deemed appropriate by the Court.
