NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
 
1.  Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results for any other quarter or for the full year. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition.

The Company adopted FIN 48 as of July 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 has been recorded as a net decrease to retained earnings of $111,143. On the date of adoption of FIN 48, and December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $220,000 of unrecognized tax benefits. Of the unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007, approximately $82,000 would impact the Company’s effective income tax rate if recognized.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S. income tax returns for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The examination is anticipated to be complete by the end of fiscal 2008. As of December 31, 2007 the IRS has discussed certain potential adjustments with the Company. Management is currently evaluating those potential adjustments to determine if it agrees, but if accepted the Company does not anticipate the adjustments would result in a material change in its financial position. Due to the ongoing IRS examination, the Company anticipates that it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease, but are unable to reasonably estimate the range.
 
7


The Company’s federal income tax returns for the tax fiscal years 2004 and after remain subject to examination. The various states in which the Company is subject to income tax are generally open for the tax fiscal years 2004 and after.

The Company classifies interest expenses on taxes payable as interest expense. The Company classifies penalties as a component of other expenses. The total interest and penalty expense related to tax uncertainties recognized for the three and six months ended December 31, 2007 were approximately $5,000 and $10,000, respectively. Accrued interest and penalties of $75,000 related to income tax uncertainties were recognized as a component of other noncurrent liabilities at December 31, 2007.

3. Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of all common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are based on the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. The number of basic shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 7,883,577 and 7,877,120 respectively. The number of diluted shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 8,130,901 and 8,059,573 respectively. The number of basic shares outstanding for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 7,883,577 and 7,868,512 respectively. The number of diluted shares outstanding for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 8,122,607 and 8,064,650 respectively.

4.  Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various investigations, claims and legal proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. The Company has recognized the costs and associated liabilities only for those investigations, claims and legal proceedings for which, in its view, it is probable that liabilities have been incurred and the related amounts are estimable. Based upon information currently available, management believes that existing accrued liabilities are sufficient and that it is not reasonably possible at this time to believe that any additional liabilities will result from the resolution of these matters that would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

5. Financing

On September 1, 2005, the Bank and the Company agreed to an amendment of the credit facility. In conjunction with the amendment to the Company’s credit facility, the Bank extended the maturity on the Company’s revolving credit facility from April 24, 2007 to September 1, 2008. Based on the Company’s current level of debt, and performance, debt would bear interest at the Bank’s prime rate. The prime rate was 7.25% on December 31, 2007. The interest rate on prime rate loans may increase from prime to prime plus 0.75% if the ratio of the Company’s funded debt to EBITDA exceeds 2.5. The amended credit facility also provides the Company with a rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%, at the Company’s option. The optional LIBOR rate may increase from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 2.75% based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio. The 90-day LIBOR rate was 4.73% at December 31, 2007.

At December 31, 2007 the Company had no aggregate indebtedness, including capital lease obligations, short-term debt and long term debt.

The Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants associated with its credit facility at December 31, 2007.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months ended December 31, 2007 compared to three months ended December 31, 2006.

Allied had net sales of $13.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007, down $0.7 million, or 4.9%, from net sales of $14.3 million in the prior year same quarter, as a result of lower customer purchase order releases. Customer orders were $0.4 million higher than in the prior year same quarter, however, customer purchase order releases were $1.0 million lower than in the prior year same quarter. Purchase order release times depend on the scheduling practices of individual customers, and do vary over time.

Sales for the three months ended December 31, 2007 include $116,250 for the recognition into income of payments resulting from the agreement with Abbott Laboratories to cease the production and distribution of Baralyme®. Sales for the three months ended December 31, 2007 also include $451,000 as a result of product development activities to pursue development of a new carbon dioxide absorption product. The agreement with Abbott provides for Abbott to pay Allied up to $2,150,000 in product development cost to pursue development of a new carbon dioxide absorption product for use in connection with inhalation anesthetics that does not contain potassium hydroxide and does not produce a significant exothermic reaction with currently available inhalation agents.

The Company ceased the sale of Baralyme® on August 27th, 2004. Sales for the three months ended December 31, 2006 include $116,250 for the recognition into income of payments resulting from the agreement with Abbott Laboratories to cease the production and distribution of Baralyme®. Sales for the three months ended December 31, 2006 also include $190,000 as a result of product development activities to pursue development of a new carbon dioxide absorption product. Income from the agreement will continue to be recognized over eight years, the term of the agreement, at $38,750 per month. Allied continues to sell Carbolime®, a carbon dioxide absorbent with a different formulation than Baralyme®.

Domestic sales were down 2.8% from the prior year same quarter, while international business, which represented 17.9% of second quarter sales, was down 11.8%. Orders for the Company’s products for the three months ended December 31, 2007 of $13.7 million were $0.4 million or 3.0% higher than orders for the prior year same quarter of $13.3 million. Domestic orders are up 4.9% over the prior year same quarter while international orders which represented 19.5% of second quarter orders, was down 4.4%.

Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $2.9 million, or 21.4% of net sales, compared to $3.5 million, or 24.6% of net sales, for the three months ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in gross profit as a percent of sales is primarily due to lower sales volume and a decrease in inventory. The lower level of sales combined with the $0.4 million decrease in inventory results in less effective utilization of the Company’s manufacturing capacity and the fixed expenses associated with that capacity. Cost of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2007 also included $451,000 as a result of product development of a new carbon dioxide absorption product.

Six Months ended December 31, 2007 compared to six months ended December 31, 2006.

Allied had net sales of $27.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007, down $1.1 million, or 3.8%, from net sales of $28.8 million in the prior year same period. The overall sales decrease is primarily due to lower customer purchase order releases.

Purchase order release times depend on the scheduling practices of individual customers and do vary over time.

Orders for the Company’s products for the six months ended December 31, 2007 of $26.9 million were $0.2 million or 0.7% lower than orders for the prior year same period of $27.1 million. International orders are down 8.2% over the prior year same period while domestic orders are up 0.8% over the prior year same period. The Company believes that the decrease in international orders, primarily for international construction projects, is a result of order timing, and is not reflective of a loss of market share.

Gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2007 was $6.1 million, or 21.9% of net sales, compared to $7.0 million, or 24.5% of net sales, for the six months ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in gross profit as a percent of sales is primarily due to lower sales volume and a decrease in inventory.

Cost of sales for the six months ended December 31, 2007 also included $549,000 as a result of product development of a new carbon dioxide absorption product.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company believes that available resources and anticipated cash flows from operations are sufficient to meet operating requirements in the coming year.

The Company’s working capital was $17.4 million at December 31, 2007 compared to $17.3 million at June 30, 2007. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.1 million. Other current assets increased $0.2 million as a result of an increase in prepaid insurance and accrued liabilities decreased $0.6 million. Accounts payable decreased $0.3 million and deferred income taxes decreased $0.2 million. At December 31, 2007 these increases in working capital were offset by a decrease in inventory of $1.2 million and $1.1 million decrease in accounts receivable to $6.2 million at December 31, 2007, due to a decrease in sales. Accounts receivable as measured in days of sales outstanding (“DSO”) decreased to 38 DSO at December 31, 2007, down from 45 DSO at June 30, 2007.

On September 1, 2005, the Bank and the Company agreed to an amendment of the credit facility. In conjunction with the amendment to the Company’s credit facility, the Bank extended the maturity on the Company’s revolving credit facility from April 24, 2007 to September 1, 2008. Based on the Company’s current level of debt, and performance, debt would bear interest at the Bank’s prime rate. The prime rate was 7.25% on December 31, 2007. The interest rate on prime rate loans may increase from prime to prime plus 0.75% if the ratio of the Company’s funded debt to EBITDA exceeds 2.5. The amended credit facility also provides the Company with a rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%, at the Company’s option. The optional LIBOR rate may increase from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 2.75% based on the Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio. The 90-day LIBOR rate was 4.73% at December 31, 2007.

At December 31, 2007 the Company had no aggregate indebtedness, including capital lease obligations, short-term debt and long term debt.

The Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants associated with its credit facility at December 31, 2007.

In the event that economic conditions were to severely worsen for a protracted period of time, we believe that our borrowing capacity under our credit facilities will provide sufficient financial flexibility. The Company would have options available to ensure liquidity in addition to increased borrowing. Capital expenditures, which are budgeted at $1.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, could be postponed. At December 31, 2007, the Company had no bank debt. Based on the Company’s current level of debt, and performance, debt would bear interest at the Bank’s prime rate. The Company’s agreement with the Bank does include provisions for higher interest rates at higher debt levels and different levels of Company performance.

Inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s business or results of operations.

Litigation and Contingencies

The Company becomes, from time to time, a party to personal injury litigation arising out of incidents involving the use of its products. The Company believes that any potential judgments resulting from these claims over its self-insured retention will be covered by the Company’s product liability insurance.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and transition.

The Company adopted FIN 48 as of July 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN 48 has been recorded as a net decrease to retained earnings of $111,143. On the date of adoption of FIN 48, and December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately $220,000 of unrecognized tax benefits. Of the unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2007, approximately $82,000 would impact the Company’s effective income tax rate if recognized.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S. income tax returns for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 in the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The examination is anticipated to be complete by the end of fiscal 2008. As of December 31, 2007 the IRS has discussed certain potential adjustments with the Company. Management is currently evaluating those potential adjustments to determine if it agrees, but if accepted the Company does not anticipate the adjustments would result in a material change in its financial position. Due to the ongoing IRS examination, the Company anticipates that it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits may increase or decrease, but are unable to reasonably estimate the range.

The Company’s federal income tax returns for the tax fiscal years 2004 and after remain subject to examination. The various states in which the Company is subject to income tax are generally open for the tax fiscal years 2004 and after.

The Company classifies interest expenses on taxes payable as interest expense. The Company classifies penalties as a component of other expenses. The total interest and penalty expense related to tax uncertainties recognized for the three and six months ended December 31, 2007 were approximately $5,000 and $10,000, respectively. Accrued interest and penalties of $75,000 related to income tax uncertainties were recognized as a component of other noncurrent liabilities at December 31, 2007.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

At December 31, 2007, the Company did not have any debt outstanding. The revolving credit facility bears an interest rate using the commercial bank’s “floating reference rate” or LIBOR as the basis, as defined in the loan agreement, and therefore is subject to additional expense should there be an increase in market interest rates.

The Company had no holdings of derivative financial or commodity instruments at December 31, 2007. Allied Healthcare Products has international sales; however these sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, mitigating foreign exchange rate fluctuation risk.
