The certification of Paul J. Mooney, Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to Sections 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Rule 13a-14(a)/15d-14(a) Certification) attached to the original filing of Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2007 as Exhibit 31.2 inadvertently referred to the annual report on Form 10-K as opposed to the quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Exhibit 31.2 has been amended to properly refer to the quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Wheeling-Pittsburgh Corporation and subsidiaries (WPC or the Company) are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company and the results of its operations and the changes in its cash flows for the periods presented.

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company incurred an unexpected substantial net loss and used an unexpected substantial amount of cash for capital investments and working capital, principally as a result of increased scrap market prices and changes in vendor contracts and decreased selling prices and volumes. Further, based on management’s current projected results of operations, it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to comply with the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under its term loan agreement, as amended, which will become effective again as of April 1, 2008. Management anticipates that the Company may require additional liquidity in the foreseeable future. Additionally, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its report on the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006 that indicated that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

This situation could be mitigated if operating results improve as a result of higher sales volume and/or pricing, including the sale of purchased slabs at competitive costs, or through operating cost or productivity improvements or if additional financing is obtained. Additional financing might include, but not be limited to, (i.) the proposed combination of the Company with Esmark Incorporated (Esmark), (ii.) amending the Company’s revolving credit facility to allow for access to additional availability, (iii.) refinancing of the Company’s term loan agreement to eliminate or modify the existing financial covenant, (iv.) an equity or rights offering under the Company’s existing $125 million shelf registration statement, (v.) raising additional capital through a private placement offering, or (vi.) the sale of assets. Management cannot, at this time, give any assurance that the proposed combination with Esmark will be approved, that operating results will improve or that we will be able to obtain additional financing.

The Company owns a 50% voting and non-voting interest in Mountain State Carbon, LLC (MSC), a joint venture. From inception of the joint venture through December 31, 2006, the Company was identified as the primary beneficiary of the joint venture, and as such, included the accounts of MSC in its consolidated financial statements. As a result of certain joint venture agreement provisions which became operative on January 1, 2007, the Company’s variable interest in the joint venture will no longer absorb a majority of the joint venture’s expected losses or receive a majority of the joint venture’s expected residual returns. As a result, the accounts of MSC were no longer included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company effective January 1, 2007.

These financial statements, including notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. The results reported in these financial statements may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

2. New Accounting Standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FIN 48-1, “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48, in May 2007. The FSP No. 48-1 amended FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, to provide guidance on how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. This staff position had no material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Table of Contents

The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FASB) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”, in February 2007. FASB No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. FASB No. 159 is effective for the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this statement on its financial statements.

The FASB issued FASB No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement”, in September 2006. FASB No. 157 defines fair value, established a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with existing generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.

 

3. Business Segment

The Company is engaged in one line of business and operates one business segment, the production, processing, fabrication and sale of steel and steel products. The Company has a diverse customer base, substantially all of which is located in the United States. All of the Company’s operating assets are located in the United States.

 

4. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties

The Company owns 35.7% of the outstanding common stock of Wheeling-Nisshin, Inc. (Wheeling-Nisshin), which is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

The Company granted stock options for 9,231 and 10,200 shares of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, at a weighted average exercise price of $23.84 and $21.12, respectively. The options were granted at a price equal to the average stock price for a five-day period ending on the date of grant, vest upon receipt, are exercisable at the option of the holder and lapse ten years from the date of grant. If a non-employee director of the Company terminates association with the Company, outstanding stock options expire within 90 days from the date of such termination if not otherwise exercised. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, proceeds of $418 were received from the exercise of 21,402 stock options. No stock options were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, stock options for 15,564 shares of Company common stock expired.

The grant date fair value of stock options granted under the plan is estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The grant date fair value of stock options granted during the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $15.94 and $19.03 per share, respectively, and the weighted average grant date fair value of stock options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $16.04 and $16.92, respectively, determined using the following assumptions:

The Company previously used a ten-year expected life assumption relative to stock options, which was equal to the term of the stock options issued. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company changed this expected life assumption to five years, which is a simple average of the vesting period and the term of the stock options issued. The effect of this change on previously reported amounts was not material.

Each stock unit award is equivalent to one share of common stock of the Company. The Company, at its sole discretion, has the option of settling stock unit awards in cash or by issuing common stock or a combination of both. Stock unit awards granted under the plan are not subject to retirement eligible provisions.

The grant date fair value of stock unit service awards is measured as being equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.

For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007, 3,650,000 shares of common stock into which debt is convertible were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as their effect was anti-dilutive.

 

13. Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the last-in first-out (LIFO) method for substantially all inventories. Approximately 99% of inventories are valued using the LIFO method. Inventory consisted of the following:

 

     June 30,
2007
    December 31,
2006
 

Raw materials

   $ 67,872     $ 44,189  

In-process

     208,978       212,315  

Finished products

     46,563       58,606  

Other materials and supplies

     46       46  
                

Total current cost

     323,459       315,156  

Excess of current cost over carrying cost

     (98,065 )     (102,935 )
                

Carrying cost

   $ 225,394     $ 212,221  
                

During the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, certain inventory quantities were reduced, resulting in liquidations of LIFO inventories carried at costs prevailing in prior periods. The effect was to increase operating income by $3,148 and $2,343 for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and to increase operating income by $2,453 and $1,903 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

14. Convertible Debt

On March 16, 2007, the Company issued convertible notes in the amount of $50,000 to certain institutional investors and certain stockholders of the Company. The notes are convertible into common stock of the Company upon consummation of a proposed business combination between the Company and Esmark at a price of $20 per share. If the proposed combination with Esmark is not consummated, the notes are convertible, at the option of the holders, into common stock of the Company at any time after December 31, 2007 at an adjusted, fair value, conversion price that will not be more than $20 per share or less than $15 per share. The convertible notes are otherwise payable on November 15, 2008, subject to limitations in our term loan agreement and revolving credit facility, and accrue interest at a rate of 6% per annum through December 31, 2007. If the notes are not converted into common stock of the Company prior to January 1, 2008, interest is retroactively adjusted from the issuance date to 9% per annum. In June 2007, the Company adjusted the conversion price on $5,000 of these notes to a fixed amount of $24.51, retroactively to March 16, 2007.

On the date of issuance of these convertible notes, the fair market value of the Company’s common stock was $24.03 per share. As a result, the beneficial conversion feature applicable to $45,000 of these convertible notes was computed to be $9,067. This amount was recorded as a discount against the face amount of the convertible notes and as a credit to additional paid-in capital. The debt discount will be amortized to interest expense over the term of these convertible notes which amounted to $1,217 and $1,443 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

On May 8, 2007, the Company issued $23,000 of senior unsecured exchangeable promissory notes in a private placement to certain unrelated institutional investors. Pursuant to the terms of the notes, the notes are exchangeable into the common stock of “New Esmark” upon consummation of a combination of the Company and Esmark at a price of $20 per share, or, if not consummated, the notes are payable in cash on November 15,

2008. Interest is payable in cash at an annual rate of 6%, payable quarterly in arrears. In the event that the combination is not consummated by January 1, 2008 or extended under the terms of the notes, the annual rate of interest will increase to 14% computed retroactively to the issuance date.

If and when the combination of the Company and Esmark occurs, the beneficial conversion feature of these notes will be computed as being equal to the difference between the per share value of New Esmark common stock on the date of the combination and the conversion price of $20.00 per share. This amount will be recorded as interest expense at that time.

 

15. Short-term and Long-term Debt

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company incurred an unexpected substantial net loss and used an unexpected substantial amount of cash for capital investments and working capital, principally as a result of increased scrap market prices and changes in vendor contracts and decreased selling prices and volumes. Further, based on management’s current projected results of operations, it is more likely than not that the Company will not be able to comply with the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant under its term loan agreement, as amended, which will become effective again as of April 1, 2008. Management anticipates that the Company may require additional liquidity in the foreseeable future. Additionally, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm included an explanatory paragraph in its report on the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006 that indicated that there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Due to the probability that the Company may not be able to comply with the financial covenant under its term loan facility in the future, amounts outstanding under the Company’s term loan facility, amounting to $149,900, have been reclassified from a long-term obligation and reflected as a short-term obligation in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2007. Additionally, all other long-term debt subject to cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions, amounting to $71,265, has been reclassified as a short-term obligation as of June 30, 2007, as well as all outstanding convertible debt, net of discount, amounting to $65,376.

The Company’s management does not believe, after consultation with legal counsel, that a material adverse effect has occurred under its loan agreements due to (a.) recent losses, (b.) the going concern modification included as an explanatory paragraph in its independent registered public accounting firm’s opinion, and/or (c.) its probable non-compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio under the term loan agreement, as amended, which will become effective again as of April 1, 2008. However, there can be no assurance that the lenders under the Company’s loan agreements will not determine that one or more of these developments, alone or in combination with future developments, constitute a material adverse effect under its loan agreements. Such a determination would restrict the Company’s ability to borrow under its revolving credit facility and adversely affect its liquidity and financial position. Additionally, the Company’s management believes, after consultation with legal counsel, that no event of default has occurred due to the going concern modification included as an explanatory paragraph in the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s opinion.

 

16. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

As a result of the deconsolidation of MSC (see Note 1), the accounts of MSC were no longer included in the consolidated financial statements of the Company effective January 1, 2007. The Company’s investment in MSC is accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

17. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

Effective March 31, 2007, the Company’s scrap processing and supply agreements with Herman Strauss, Inc. (Strauss) were terminated as a result of a commercial dispute regarding Strauss’ performance under those agreements. Strauss subsequently invoked the arbitration provisions of those agreements, claiming damages of approximately $18,000 associated with the dispute and termination of the agreements. The Company has asserted counter-claims against Strauss which significantly exceed the magnitude of the claims asserted by Strauss, based upon allegations that Strauss committed numerous material breaches of the agreements resulting in significant damages to the Company. The Company is also involved in unrelated litigation with a second scrap supplier, Metal Management, Inc. (MMI), arising out of MMI’s supply of scrap to the Company. Quality issues associated with several grades of scrap supplied to the Company by MMI resulted in the Company rejecting a substantial quantity of shipments of those scrap grades and advising MMI that it would accept no further shipments. MMI immediately commenced action in state court in New York alleging a right for payment of more than $31,000 (subsequently amended to $28,222) for all past and future deliveries of scrap under purchase orders issued by the Company. The Company has continued to accept delivery of scrap conforming to specification and has, since the filing of that action, issued payments in excess of $10,200 to MMI. As to MMI’s assertion that it is entitled to payment for delivered and undelivered scrap products which the Company asserts is not in compliance with specification, the Company is vigorously defending MMI’s claim and will, in its responsive pleadings, assert counterclaims against MMI. In light of the nature of these disputes and the significant counterclaims asserted by the Company, the Company believes that it is neither probable nor reasonably possible that a liability has been incurred as of June 30, 2007. As a result, no amount has been accrued as of June 30, 2007 relative to these suits.

On July 2, 2007, a jury awarded the Company and MSC $119,850 in compensatory damages and $100,000 in punitive damages in a lawsuit we filed in Brooke County, West Virginia Circuit Court against Massey Energy Company (Massey) and its subsidiary, Central West Virginia Energy Company (CWVEC), seeking substantial monetary damages for breach of a metallurgical coal supply contract between the Company and CWVEC. Post-trial motions were heard by the trial judge on July 30, 2007 and, by order dated August 2, 2007, the trial judge affirmed the jury’s award with respect to punitive damages and awarded pre-judgment interest totaling approximately $24,054. The court also granted judgment on a counterclaim by Massey, the value of which with pre-judgment interest totaled approximately $4,500. Taking into account both the pre-judgment interest and the award in favor of Massey on its counterclaim, the amount of the judgment entered in the trial court totals approximately $239,404. Massey has stated publicly that it intends to appeal this verdict. No amounts have been accrued as of June 30, 2007 relative to this matter.

Environmental Matters

Prior to confirmation of the Company’s plan of reorganization effective August 1, 2003, the Company settled all pre-petition environmental claims made by state (Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania) and Federal (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)) environmental regulatory agencies. Consequently, the Company believes that it has settled and/or discharged environmental liability for any known Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund) sites, pre-petition stipulated penalties related to active consent decrees, or other pre-petition regulatory enforcement actions.

During the second quarter of 2006, the Company received notification from the USEPA advising that the USEPA and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) will conduct an inquiry aimed at resolving various environmental matters, all of which are identified, discussed and reserved for as noted below. These inquiries commenced during the third quarter of 2006.

The Company estimates that demands for stipulated penalties and fines for post-petition events and activities through June 30, 2007 could total up to $3,086, which has been fully reserved by the Company. These claims arise from instances in which the Company exceeded post-petition consent decree terms, including: (a) $2,244 related to a January 30, 1996 USEPA consent decree for the Company’s coke oven gas desulphurization facility contributed to MSC; (b) $608 related to a July 1991 USEPA consent decree for water discharges into the Ohio River; (c) $101 related to a September 20, 1999 Ohio EPA consent decree for the Company’s coke oven gas desulphurization facility contributed to MSC; and (d) $133 related to a 1992 USEPA consent order for other water discharges issues. The Company may have defenses to certain of these exceedances.

In September 2000, the Company entered into a consent order with the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection wherein the Company agreed to remove contaminated sediments from the bed of the Ohio River. The Company estimates the cost of removal of the remaining contaminated sediments to be $1,397 at June 30, 2007, which has been fully reserved by the Company. The Company currently expects this work to be substantially complete by the end of 2007.

The Company is under a final administrative order issued by the USEPA in June 1998 to conduct a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Facility Investigation to determine the nature and extent of soil and groundwater contamination at its coke plant in Follansbee, West Virginia. The USEPA approved the Company’s investigation work plan, and field activities were completed in 2004. The Company submitted the results of this investigation to the USEPA in the third quarter of 2005. It is expected that some remediation measures will be necessary and could commence within the next three to five years. Based on an initial estimate of the range of the possible cost to remediate, the Company has reserved $4,612 for such remediation measures.

The Company also accrued $400 related to a 1989 consent order issued by the USEPA for surface impoundment issues at a coke plant facility contributed to MSC.

In July 2005, an environmental liability was identified regarding the potential for migration of subsurface oil from historical operations into waters in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. A remediation plan was developed in 2005 and a revised remediation plan was submitted to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania during the third quarter of 2006. An estimated expenditure of $965 is expected to be made during 2007 to address this environmental liability, which has been fully reserved by the Company.

Total accrued environmental liabilities amounted to $10,460 and $10,511 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. These accruals were based on all information available to the Company. As new information becomes available, whether from third parties or otherwise, and as environmental regulations change, the liabilities are reviewed and adjusted accordingly. Unless stated above, the time-frame over which these liabilities will be satisfied is presently unknown. Further, the Company considers it reasonably possible that it could ultimately incur additional liabilities relative to the above exposures of up to $5,000.

Commitments

In June 2005, the Company entered into a contract to purchase up to 20,000 tons of metallurgical coal on behalf of MSC each month for the period from August 2006 through May 2007 at a price of $94.50 per ton. MSC reimburses the Company for the cost of coal delivered under the contract. Payments for delivery of coal under this contract totaled $9,467 and $12,720 during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.

The Company entered into a 15-year take-or-pay contract in 1999, which was amended in 2003 and requires the Company to purchase oxygen, nitrogen and argon each month with a minimum monthly charge of approximately $600, subject to escalation clauses. Payments for deliveries under this contract totaled $2,862 and $3,040 during the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $5,194 and $5,810 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company entered into a 20-year contract in 1999, which was amended in 2003 and requires the Company to purchase steam and electricity each month or pay a minimum monthly charge of approximately $500, subject to increases for inflation, and a variable charge calculated at a minimum of $3.75 times the number of tons of iron produced each month, with an agreed-to minimum of 3,250 tons per day, regardless of whether any tons are produced. Payments for delivery of steam and electricity under this contract totaled $3,366 and $3,386 during the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $7,139 and 6,169 during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At June 30, 2007, a maximum termination payment of approximately $27,750 would have been required to terminate the contract.

Under terms of MSC’s joint venture agreement, the Company and SNA Carbon have agreed to refurbish a coke plant facility owned by MSC. The Company is committed to make additional capital contributions of $6,500 to MSC,of which $5,723 is due in 2007.

Other

The Company is the subject of, or party to, a number of other pending or threatened legal actions involving a variety of matters. However, based on information currently available, management believes that the disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations or the financial position of the Company.

 

18. Summarized Combined Financial Information

Wheeling-Pittsburgh Steel Corporation (WPSC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is the issuer of the outstanding $40,000 Series A notes and $20,000 Series B notes. The Series A and Series B notes were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Act of 1934. The Series A notes and Series B notes are each fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Company and its present and future subsidiaries. WPSC and each subsidiary guarantor of the Series A and Series B notes are 100%-owned by the Company. Because the subsidiary guarantors are not material, individually and in the aggregate, the consolidating financial information for the Company and the subsidiary guarantors has been combined below in the column entitled “WPC and Subsidiary Guarantors.”
