NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1-INTERIM REPORTING:

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The interim financial information included herein is unaudited. This information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of operating results for the interim periods. This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Rotonics Manufacturing Inc. (“the Company”) Annual Report as filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Rotocast Plastic Products of Tennessee, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,” an amendment of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140. SFAS No. 155 simplifies accounting for certain hybrid instruments under SFAS No. 133 permitting fair value remeasurement for financial instruments that otherwise would require bifurcation and eliminating SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets,” which proves that beneficial interests are not subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 155 also eliminates the previous restrictions under SFAS No. 140 on passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. SFAS NO. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement event occurring after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company will adopt this statement as required, and adoption is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

 

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. SFAS No. 156 permits entities to choose to either subsequently measure servicing rights at fair value and report changes in fair value in earnings or amortize servicing rights in proportion to and over the estimated net servicing income or loss and assess to rights for impairment or the need for an increased obligation. SFAS No. 156 also clarifies when a servicer should separately recognize servicing assets and liabilities, requires all separately recognized assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by an entity with recognized servicing rights and requires additional disclosure for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company will adopt this statement as required, and adoption is not expected to have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

NOTE 5 - BANK LINE OF CREDIT:

 

The Company has a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank. The line matures October 1, 2007 and is secured by the Company’s machinery and equipment, accounts receivable and inventories. Interest is payable monthly at the bank’s prime rate minus .25% (7.5% per annum at March 31, 2006). The loan agreement allows the Company to convert the outstanding principal balance in amounts no less than $250,000 to a LIBOR-based loan for periods up to 90 days. At March 31, 2006, total borrowings under the Company’s line of credit was $2,165,400 of which $2,000,000 was borrowed under the LIBOR option bearing a LIBOR interest rate of 5.7525% per annum and maturing April 17, 2006. Proceeds from the loan were used for working capital purposes. At March 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $2,834,600 available for future borrowings under the revolving line of credit.

(A)      On October 1, 2000, the bank issued a $6,050,000 seven year note due in monthly principal installments of $72,000 plus interest at the bank’s prime rate minus .25% (7.5% per annum at March 31, 2006). In addition, the loan agreement allows the Company to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal to a LIBOR-based loan for periods up to one year. At March 31, 2006, the total outstanding principal balance was under the LIBOR option at 6.0025% per annum maturing April 17, 2006. The note is secured by the Company’s machinery and equipment, accounts receivable and inventories and matures October 15, 2007.

 

The Company has an interest rate swap agreement with the bank. The agreement allows the Company to fix a portion of its outstanding term and line of credit debt ($2 million as of March 31, 2006) from a variable floating LIBOR rate to a fixed LIBOR rate in efforts to protect against future increases in the bank’s LIBOR rate. The notational amount of the swap agreement will remain at $2 million until its maturity on August 15, 2006.

This plan allows, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, to grant options to key employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company to purchase 850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms and conditions set forth in the plan, the purchase price of the stock options will be at least 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on grant date. The maximum term for options granted under the plan is ten years and the plan expires on October 6, 2013.

 

The Company has not granted any options under this plan, and therefore as of March 31, 2006, the Company still has 850,000 shares available for future grants.

 

NOTE 9 - COMMON STOCK:

 

At March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2005 there was no outstanding treasury stock. The Company’s current buyback program was effective June 28, 2005 and allows the Company to acquire up to $1 million of its outstanding common stock. The Company continues to support its buyback whenever the market value per share is under recognized by the stock market. During the nine months ended March 31, 2006 the Company acquired 151,700 shares of common stock at a total cost of $405,000.

 

On June 28, 2005, the Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $.05 per common share, which was paid on July 29, 2005 to stockholders of record on July 18, 2005.

At March 31, 2006, the Company had combined Florida and Tennessee state net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards, with expiration dates ranging from 2006-2020, of approximately $7,372,400. Of this amount, a valuation allowance of $5,866,600 has been reserved for the estimated amount of Tennessee state NOL’s that will expire prior to their utilization. The NOL carryforwards, which are available to offset taxable income of the Company and are subject to limitations should a “change in ownership” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code occur, will begin to expire in 2006 if not utilized.

 

NOTE 11 – OPERATING LEASES:

 

The Company leases certain facilities and equipment under long-term operating leases that expire at various dates through March 2013. During the nine months ended March 31, 2006, rent expense under these leases, including month-to-month rentals, was approximately $897,300. The following table summarizes the obligations under these commitments on an annual basis:

The Company receives sub-lease income on certain properties that it rents from others. In February 2005, the Company consummated a sub-lease for one of its buildings at its Miami facility with a current rent expense of approximately $6,100 per month, through March 2013. The building is sub-leased at $4,800 per month for three years ending on April 1, 2008. Management believes that any additional exposure related to this sublease will not be significant. The Company is also in the process of completing the relocation of its injection molding operation that will leave the second leased building in Miami, Florida partially unoccupied. The current rent expense on this building is approximately $9,600 per month through March 2013 and is currently being partially leased at $2,600 per month. Once the relocation process is fully completed, the Company anticipates that the balance of this building will be leased at a rate that will cover our remaining exposure, however there is no assurance as to when a tenant will occupy the building. Although the outcome of this matter is not readily determinable, management believes that any exposure related to the remaining sub-lease of this building will not be significant.

 

NOTE 12- EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES:

 

In January 2006, the Company initiated the consolidation of its Miami, Florida injection molding operations into its Bartow, Florida facility in its efforts to improve operating efficiencies and lower overhead costs. As of March 31, 2006, the relocation process has been substantially completed and the Company anticipates finalizing the process by the end of Fiscal 2006. To date the Company has incurred other qualified non-recurring plant consolidation costs of $285,500. These costs are identified by the line item “Plant consolidation expenses” on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations. The Company has also expended an additional $546,800 on capital expenditure projects in connection with this plant consolidation.

 

NOTE 13- COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER SHARE:

 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing reported earnings by weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS include the effect of the potential shares outstanding, including dilutive securities using the treasury stock method. Potential dilutive securities for the Company include outstanding stock options.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Introduction

 

To the extent that this 10-Q Quarterly Report discusses matters which are not historical, including statements regarding future financial results, information or expectation about products or markets, or otherwise makes statements about future events, such statements are forward-looking and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. These include, among others, fluctuations in costs of raw materials and other expenses, costs associated with plant closures, downturns in the markets served by the Company, the costs associated with new product introductions, as well as other factors described under this Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Footnote 1 to Financial Statements. When used in this report, the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “ believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our opinion only as of the date of the quarterly Report. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements after the date of this document. You should carefully review the risk factors, critical accounting policies and other disclosures described in other documents, including our Form 10-K, that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 and 2005

 

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2006 increased 1.5% to $11,034,600 compared to $10,873,200 for the same period last year. Even though we experienced a sluggish marketplace during the beginning of the current quarter, the tempo ultimately picked-up in the latter part of the quarter. As a result, management was pleased with the growth in some of our product groups, which include our refuse container, tank, linen and laundry and material handling products. The growth in these particular product groups totaled $1,546,300 and reflects the positive results we have obtained from ongoing product line enhancements, our focused efforts to expand our market share for our proprietary product groups and the additions we have made to our manufacturing equipment, which in turn has improved our competitive edge within our regional markets. We have continued our investment trend this year with various tooling projects, the installation of a new roto-moldng machine in Gardena, California and a new injection-molding machine in Bartow, Florida. We remain confident that our efforts will continue to promote expansion of many of our proprietary products.

 

Cost of goods sold increased 4.5% to 82.2% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to 77.7% for the same period last year. During the current quarter we continued to work through the exorbitant increases in natural gas and raw material costs that began last summer. The unit costs related to these two items have begun to recede during the current quarter, but ultimately weighed heavy on our ability to pass on these costs and maintain target gross margins. During the current quarter natural gas costs were up $109,200 compared to the same period last year coupled with last quarter’s 18% increase in raw material costs that continued to flow through this quarter’s operations. Throughout the year we have instituted product price increases to offset these rising costs, but due to last quarter’s rapid cost escalations, we found it difficult to effectively pass on these costs. We do anticipate relief during the last quarter of fiscal 2006 as long as these costs hold at their current price levels.

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $1,430,700, or 13% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared with $1,817,700, or 16.7% of net sales, for the same period last year. The reduction in the current quarter’s SG&A expenses are attributed to management’s re-evaluation of its allowance for doubtful accounts and estimated prepaid expense allocation for advertising and tradeshow costs. Combined, the re-evaluation of these account balances resulted in a reduction of SG&A costs of approximately $286,000 in the current quarter.

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company substantially completed the relocation of its Miami, Florida injection molding operations to the Company’s Bartow, Florida facility. To date the Company has incurred $285,500 in non-recurring plant closure and relocation costs and also has spent an additional $546,800 on capital improvements related to this move. The capital improvements include $128,500 to refurbish existing injection molding equipment and $418,300 for the installation of a new 350-ton injection-molding machine including the necessary ancillary equipment. We expect the consolidation of this facility will have a lasting favorable affect on the

 

10



 

Company’s future operating results. As we move into the fourth quarter, the Company will begin to benefit from a pooling of its labor resources as well as overall lower overhead costs.

 

Total interest expense was $38,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $50,600 for the same period last year. The cost savings are attributed to an overall reduction in our debt structure of approximately $300,000 compared to the same period last year coupled with a $1 million reduction in the notional amount of our interest rate swap agreement. The latter has allowed debt borrowings in excess of the notional amount to bear more favorable LIBOR interest rates in comparison to our interest rate swap agreement’s fixed rate. Even though the bank’s prime rate has increased by 1.75% over the last nine months, we do not foresee any increases in our future interest costs.

 

Our income tax provision was $109,100 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $236,500 for the same period last year. The reduction is consistent with the current period’s level of taxable income.

 

Net income dropped to $161,000, or two cents per common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $339,800, or three cents per common share, for the same period last year. Again, management is pleased with its proprietary product sales growth, which in turn helped mitigate the notable increases in natural gas and raw material costs we encountered during the period. Even though our gross margins were hampered by these costs during the current period, we anticipate improved results in the near-term due to recent price reductions for both natural gas and resin. In addition, our operating results were also diluted by the non-recurring plant consolidation costs of approximately $285,500, or an after tax net of $.015 per common share. As such, income excluding these non-recurring costs would have been approximately $.03 per common share for the current quarter. Now that the plant consolidation has been substantially completed, we look forward to more efficient and streamlined operations and for now at least, a less hostile natural gas and raw material environment that will also promote improved operating results.

 

Results of Operations - Nine Months Ended March 31, 2006 and 2005

 

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 increased 7.2% to $35,130,800 compared to $32,778,000 for the same period last year. Once again, our fiscal 2006 growth is attributed to our refuse container, tank, linen and laundry, material handling and also agricultural products. The growth in these product groups totaled $3,673,100. Our efforts to expand our market share for our proprietary products through our sales/marketing efforts, tooling enhancements and the addition of the necessary manufacturing equipment continue to reflect positively on our net sales growth. Management remains committed to these strategies to promote ongoing sales growth and looks forward to a promising fourth quarter that started with a strong backlog of approximately $4.6 million.

 

Cost of goods sold rose by 1.6% to 78.9% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 compared to 77.3% for the same period last year. The rise is again attributed to increases in natural gas and raw material costs that as of March 31, 2006 were still 30% higher than they were at the beginning of fiscal 2006. We are pleased with our efforts to mitigate these costs and maintain reasonable year-to-date margins through our increased sales revenues noted above, systematic product price increases, the use of energy efficient equipment and the cost savings obtained from lower wage ($108,000) and workers compensation insurance ($192,800) costs. As previously mentioned, natural gas and raw material costs have recently receded from their respective prior period highs and should have a positive effect on our fiscal 2006 fourth quarter gross margins. However, as these costs still remain potentially volatile, we will be resolute in our efforts to monitor and mitigate their effect on future operations.

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $4,993,000, or 14.2% of net sales, for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $5,503,000, or 16.8% of net sales, for the same period last year. Overall SG&A costs were down $510,000. Of this amount, $336,000 pertains to management’s re-evaluation of its allowance for doubtful accounts and its estimated prepaid expense allocation for advertising and tradeshow costs. The balance of the savings were primarily derived from lower SG&A wage costs of approximately $99,500.

 

During the third quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company substantially completed the relocation of its Miami, Florida injection molding operations to the Company’s Bartow, Florida facility. To date the Company has incurred $285,500 in non-recurring plant closure and relocation costs and also has spent an additional $546,800 on capital improvements related to this move. The capital improvements

include $128,500 to refurbish existing injection molding equipment and $418,300 for the installation of a new 350-ton injection-molding machine including the necessary ancillary equipment. We expect the consolidation of this facility will have a lasting favorable affect on the Company’s future operating results. As we move into the fourth quarter, the Company will begin to benefit from a pooling of its labor resources as well as overall lower overhead costs.

 

Total interest expense was $102,800 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $154,300 for the same period last year. The cost savings are attributed to an overall reduction in our debt structure of approximately $300,000 compared to the same period last year coupled with a $1 million reduction in the notional amount of our interest rate swap agreement. The latter has allowed debt borrowings in excess of the notional amount to bear more favorable LIBOR interest rates in comparison to our interest rate swap agreement’s fixed rate.

 

Even though the bank’s prime rate has increased by 1.75% over the last nine months, we do not foresee any increases in our future interest costs.

 

Our income tax provision was $858,800 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $787,100 for the same period last year. The increase is consistent with the current period’s level of taxable income.

 

Net income increased $194,600 to $1,373,600, or twelve cents per common share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $1,179,000, or ten cents per common share, for the same period last year. Management is very pleased with the 7.2% increase in net sales that was primarily realized in its proprietary product groups as previously outlined. This sales growth helped mitigate the 30% increase in natural gas and raw material costs we encountered during fiscal 2006. This coupled with our cost savings in wage and workers compensation insurance costs were instrumental in maintaining reasonable gross margin results. Our net income was further boosted by overall SG&A savings net of our non-recurring plant consolidation costs of approximately $285,500, or an after tax net of $.015 cents per common share. Now that the plant consolidation has been substantially completed, we look forward to more efficient and streamlined operations and for now at least, a less hostile natural gas and raw material environment that will also promote improved operating results.

 

Financial Conditions

 

Working capital increased $1,904,900 to $10,477,900 at March 31, 2006 compared to $8,573,000 at June 30, 2005. The increase is derived from our current period’s net income and the increase in our line of credit borrowings that has helped fund the roughly $775,000 increase in our raw material inventory, net of the payment for our annual bonus plan ($329,500) and our fiscal 2006 dividend payment of $597,000. Cash flows from operations decreased $472,600 to $1,615,400 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $2,088,000 for the same period last year. Current period cash flows also benefited from the $194,600 increase in our net income, which was offset by increases in our inventory and accounts payable balances for the purchase of raw materials.

 

We expended $1,418,400 for property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) during the nine months ended March 31, 2006 compared to $1,573,100 for the same period last year. As illustrated last year, we are committed to improve our operations through various capital expenditure projects. To date in fiscal 2006, we have installed one roto-molding machine at a cost of $202,700 and expended $546,800 on capital expenditure projects in connection with our Miami, Florida plant consolidation. Of this amount, $128,500 has been spent to refurbish existing injection molding equipment and $418,300 for the installation of a new 350-ton injection-molding machine including the necessary ancillary equipment. As an added plus, the new machines are both energy efficient and will foster manufacturing efficiencies not previously obtainable. The balance of our fiscal 2006 expenditures has gone to new tooling and existing machinery enhancements. We anticipate expending $1.6 million on capital expenditures in fiscal 2006.

 

Net borrowings under the line of credit increased $1,136,000 to $2,165,400 between June 30, 2005 and March 31, 2006. The increase is primarily attributed to the additional purchases of raw materials to take advantage of preferred pricing, our March 2006 bonus plan pay-out of $329,500 and third quarter income tax installment payments of approximately $100,000. Due to the timing of these payments as well as payments for capital expenditure projects and our current plant consolidation project, we anticipate our line of credit borrowings to reflect temporary increases throughout the year, but overall will likely see our total debt borrowings trend down during the balance of fiscal 2006. At March 31, 2006, our overall debt structure increased by $487,800 to $2,633,900 and we had $2,834,600 available for future borrowings under our line of credit.

Effective October 1, 2005, the bank extended the maturity date on the line of credit to October 1, 2007. In addition, the maturity date for the letter of credit subfeature of our credit facility was extended to February 1, 2008. All other terms and conditions surrounding our credit facility with bank remained the same.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2006, we acquired 151,700 shares of common stock at a total cost of $405,000. We plan to continue this program throughout fiscal year 2006.

 

On June 28, 2005, the Board of Directors (“the Board”) declared a common stock dividend of $.05 per common share ($597,000) that was paid on July 29, 2005 to stockholders of record on July 18, 2005. This marked the ninth payment of dividends since 1996 on the Company’s common stock. The Board is committed to review a dividend program for our common stock on an annual basis.

 

Cash flows from operations in conjunction with our revolving line of credit are expected to meet our needs for working capital, capital expenditures, common stock repurchases and repayment of long term debt for the foreseeable future.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,” an amendment of SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140. SFAS No. 155 simplifies accounting for certain hybrid instruments under SFAS No. 133 permitting fair value remeasurement for financial instruments that otherwise would require bifurcation and eliminating SFAS No. 133 Implementation Issue No. D1, “Application of Statement 133 to Beneficial Interests in Securitized Financial Assets,” which proves that beneficial interests are not subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 155 also eliminates the previous restrictions under SFAS No. 140 on passive derivative instruments that a qualifying special-purpose entity may hold. SFAS NO. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired, issued, or subject to a remeasurement event occurring after the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company will adopt this statement as required, and adoption is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

 

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140. SFAS No. 156 permits entities to choose to either subsequently measure servicing rights at fair value and report changes in fair value in earnings or amortize servicing rights in proportion to and over the estimated net servicing income or loss and assess to rights for impairment or the need for an increased obligation. SFAS No. 156 also clarifies when a servicer should separately recognize servicing assets and liabilities, requires all separately recognized assets and liabilities to be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, permits a one-time reclassification of available-for-sale securities to trading securities by an entity with recognized servicing rights and requires additional disclosure for all separately recognized servicing assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 156 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company will adopt this statement as required, and adoption is not expected to have an effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements or significant guarantees to third parties not fully recorded in our balance sheets or fully disclosed in our notes to consolidated financial statements. The Company’s significant contractual obligations include our debt agreements and lease agreements.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions. We believe that the estimates, judgments and assumptions upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are made. These estimates, judgments and assumptions can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates, judgments or assumptions and actual results, our financial statements will be affected. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. There are also areas in which management’s judgment in selecting among available alternatives would not produce a materially different result. Our senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies and related disclosures with our Audit Committee. See notes to Consolidated Financial Statement in our Form 10-K for fiscal 2005, which contain additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures by GAAP.

 

13



 

The significant accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include the following:

 

Accounts Receivable

 

We make judgments as to our ability to collect outstanding receivables and provide allowances for the portion of receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Provisions are based on a specific review of all significant outstanding receivable balances and may vary based on analysis of historical collection experience or current economic trends. If the data we use to calculate the allowance for doubtful accounts does not reflect the future ability to collect outstanding receivables, additional provisions for doubtful accounts may be needed and the results of operations could be affected.

 

Inventory Valuation

 

Finished goods inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market and management uses historical gross margin trends and other estimates to continually update labor and overhead allocations. The gross margin percentage reflects our estimate of the cost of, among other things, material, labor and overhead expenditures during the production process. Such costs are capitalized to inventory as products are manufactured. Although it is believed that the estimates are reasonable, it is possible that the actual labor and overhead costs will differ over time from the estimated amounts. Due to the high volume of transactions and the way raw materials are used in product manufacturing, inventory quantities can change rapidly and are impacted by a variety of factors including, production efficiency, obsolescence, scrap, design changes, customer preferences, etc. As such, the Company must regularly count inventories to ensure they are up to date. The Company takes a physical count monthly and reconciles the count to the inventory. However, given the number of transactions, the number of locations and the large number of inventory items, adjustments to the counts do occur on a regular basis. Although we believe that our inventory counts and values are reasonable the inventory does have some inherit estimates that could impact our balance sheet and results of operations.

 

Impairments of Long-Lived Assets

 

In accordance with the methodology described in FASB Statement No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” we review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. The impairment loss is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying amount. No impairments were recorded in the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues are recognized from the sale of our products upon shipment, provided that persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, title has transferred, and collectibility of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Title and risk of loss transfer to the customer when the product leaves the Company’s facility.

 

Income Taxes

 

Under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” income taxes are recorded based on the current amounts payable or refundable, as well as the consequences of events that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences in how those events are treated for tax purposes. We base our estimate of deferred tax assets and liabilities on current tax laws and rates and in certain cases expectations about future outcomes. Our accounting for deferred tax consequences represents management’s best estimate of future events that can be appropriately reflected in accounting estimates. Our net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to offset taxable income, are also subject to limitations should a “change in ownership” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code occur. Although management believes that its estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

In particular, we recorded a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. While management has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, there is no assurance that the valuation allowance would not need to be increased to cover additional deferred tax assets that may not be realized. Any increase in the valuation allowance could have a material adverse impact on our income tax provision and net income for the period in which such determination is made.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Information regarding the Company’s market risk relating to interest rate volatility was disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 and should be read in conjunction with this interim financial information. Since June 30, 2005, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s exposure to market risk.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, summarized and processed within time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. As of the end of the period, covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our president and chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, our president and chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective under Rules13a-14.

 

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
