ROTONICS MANUFACTURING INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1-INTERIM REPORTING:

 

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, 2001.

 

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

 

The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued a new release (EITF 00-10) at the end of July 2000 regarding the classification of freight and handling costs billed to customers.  EITF 00-10 required freight and handling costs billed separately on an invoice to be included as part of Sales on the Statement of Income.  In addition, the preferred classification of freight and handling costs expensed on the Statement of Income is to include them in Cost of Sales.  The Company adopted this requirement during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2001 and reclassifications have been made for prior periods presented.  There was no impact on net income as a result of the adoption of EITF 00-10.

 

In June 2001, the FASB approved two new pronouncements: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  SFAS No. 141 applies to all business combinations with a closing date after June 30, 2001.  This Statement eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting and further clarifies the criteria for recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill.

 

SFAS No. 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and initiates an annual review for impairment.  Identifiable intangible assets with a determinable useful life will continue to be amortized.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 effective July 1, 2001, which required the Company to cease amortization of its remaining net goodwill balance and to perform a transitional goodwill impairment test as of July 1, 2001, and thereafter an impairment test at least annually and record an adjustment when the fair value of our reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying value.  We are permitted six months from the adoption date to complete a review of goodwill for impairment and record necessary adjustments prior to the end of fiscal 2002.  We engaged a national valuation specialist to assist with the determination of the estimated fair value of our reporting unit as of July 1, 2001.  To determine fair value, valuation models involving guideline public companies, acquisition analysis and  discounted cash flows were relied upon.  As such, under the assessment guidelines of SFAS No. 142 and the SEC’s  guidance that the Company’s quoted market price is the most efficient mechanism for estimating fair value, their findings indicated that the estimated fair value of our reporting unit was less than its carrying value.  The Company completed the transitional goodwill impairment test in accordance with SFAS No. 142 and wrote-off effective July 1, 2001 its remaining net goodwill of $4,105,900 as a non-cash cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.  Goodwill amortization expense was $162,400 and $81,200 for the six months and three months ended December 31, 2000, respectively.

 

For illustrative purposes the following unaudited proforma information gives the effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 on prior periods.

In September 2001, the FASB approved pronouncement SFAS No. 144  “ Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121 “Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of” as well as Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 30 “Reporting the Results of Operations — Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual, and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.”  SFAS No. 144 not only retains the requirements of SFAS No. 121 to recognize an impairment loss if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, but also establishes a single accounting method for assets to be disposed of and broadens the presentation of discounted operations to include more disposal transactions.  SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.  The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position of results of operation.

The Company’s reporting unit was reviewed for goodwill impairment in conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 142.  Due to the disparity between the Company’s estimated fair value and its carrying value, a goodwill impairment loss of $4,105,900 was recognized as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle as of July 1, 2001.  The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using conservative valuation models involving guidelines public companies, acquisition analysis and discounted cash flows as well as its relation to the Company’s market capitalization.

 

Aggregate amortization expense for the six months ended December 31, 2001 was $23,000.

 

NOTE 5 - BANK LINE OF CREDIT:

At December 31, 2001, the Company had net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $7,053,200 for state income tax purposes.  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 2002 if not utilized.

 

At December 31, 2001, the Company also had a federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credit of approximately $425,400 which is available to offset future federal income taxes once the Company is no longer subject to an alternative minimum tax for federal income tax purposes.  Under current projections, management anticipates it will fully utilize the federal AMT credit in Fiscal 2002.

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.

 

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000

 

Net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2001 decreased 15.4% to $7,927,600 compared to $9,371,500 for the same period last year.  The Company’s current market condition continues to mirror the economic slowdown our nation is experiencing.  As the economy improves, management is optimistic that it is poised to improve sales volumes and gain marketshare for its proprietary and custom product line as it continues to strengthen its sales, marketing and distribution strategies.

 

Cost of goods sold improved by 3.5% to 75.7% of net sales for the three months ended December 31, 2001 compared to 79.2% for the same period last year.  Management is pleased with this notable reduction in comparative costs.  Management has been very proactive in its efforts to improve and sustain acceptable gross margins in correlation with current market conditions.  As such, current operations have benefited from improved efficiencies, streamlined operations and workforce reductions.

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $1,791,000 or 22.6% of net sales, for the three months ended December 31, 2001 compared with $2,068,000, or 22.1% of net sales for the same period last year.  The comparative percentage increase is attributed to the lower sales volumes.  However, overall SG&A costs have decreased by $277,000 relating to the Company’s cost containment efforts as well as reductions in legal fees ($130,000) and the elimination of goodwill amortization which amounted to $81,200.

 

Total interest expense decreased $74,700 to $117,800 for the three months ended December 31, 2001 compared to $192,500 for the same period last year.  The decrease is primarily related to the $2,272,200 decrease in the Company’s debt structure compared to amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2000 along with federal discount rate reductions during the current period.  These factors, along with the Company’s continuing ability to generate sufficient cash flows to service its debt structure, will continue to have a positive effect on reducing future interest costs.

 

Income taxes were $19,600 for the three months ended December 31, 2001 compared to an income tax benefit of $120,400 for the same period last year.  The disparity between the comparative periods is attributed to the prior period loss before income taxes of $296,900 compared to current period income before taxes of $59,800.

 

Net income increased $216,800 to $40,200, or zero cents per common share, for the three months ended December 31, 2001 compared to a net loss of $176,600, or a loss of one cent per common share, for the same period last year.  Although market conditions have hampered positive sales growth, management has successfully minimized this adverse condition by improving efficiencies and staying committed  to its ongoing cost containment efforts.  As such, current period results have benefited from these efforts in addition to cost reductions relating to interest expense, professional fees and goodwill amortization as previously mentioned.  These efforts in addition to management’s continued efforts to strengthen and build future market share for its custom molding and proprietary products lines should have a positive impact on future results as the economy improves.

Results of Operations - Six Months Ended December 31, 2001 and 2000

 

Net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2001 decreased 11.3% to $17,515,900 compared to $19,746,200 for the same period last year.  Again, the reduction in comparative sales volumes is directly related to the economic slowdown our nation is experiencing.  Although most of the Company’s product lines have been sensitive to the current conditions, the Company has seen positive growth in its refuse container line due to successful awards of Municipal bids.  As the Company transitions through the current recession, management remains focused on its efforts to strengthen and build future marketshare for both its custom molding as well as proprietary product lines.

 

Cost of goods sold decreased by 2.1% to 76% of net sales for the six months ended December 31, 2001 compared to 78.1% for the same period last year.   Management is pleased with the notable reduction in comparative costs.  Management has been very proactive in its efforts to improve and sustain acceptable gross margins in correlation with current market conditions.  As such, current period gross margins have benefited from improved efficiencies, streamlined operations and workforce reductions.

 

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $3,713,000 or 21.2% of net sales, for the six months ended December 31, 2001 compared with $4,061,700, or 20.6% of net sales, for the same period last year.  The comparative percentage increase is attributed to the lower sales volume.  However, overall SG&A costs have decreased by $348,700 which is attributed to cost containment efforts as well as reductions in legal fees ($174,000) and the elimination of goodwill amortization which amounted to $162,400.

 

Total interest expense decreased $157,700 to $249,600 for the six months ended December 31, 2001 compared to $407,300 for the same period last year.  The decrease is primarily related to the $2,272,200 decrease in the Company’s debt structure compared to amounts outstanding as of December 31, 2000 along with the bank debt negotiated interest rate reductions in October 2000 and the federal discount rate reductions during the current period.  These factors, along with the Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows to service its debt structure, will continue to have a positive effect on reducing future interest costs.

 

Income taxes were $130,900 for the six months ended December 31, 2001 compared to an income tax benefit of $44,700 for the same period last year.  The disparity between the comparative periods is attributed to the prior period loss before income taxes of $154,300 compared to current period income before taxes of $328,800.  The major portion of the Company’s current year’s tax provision is related to the deferred tax component.  The Company is currently utilizing  its remaining federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credit created from the utilization of its net operating loss carryforwards in prior years.   Management anticipates fully utilizing its AMT credit in fiscal 2002, which once utilized will result in an increase in the Company’s current federal tax liability.

 

Net income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for goodwill increased $307,500 to $197,900, or two cents per common share, for the six months ended December 31, 2001 compared to a new loss of $109,600, or a loss of one cent per common share, for the same period last year.  Although market conditions have hampered positive sales growth, management has successfully minimized this adverse condition by improving efficiencies and staying committed to its ongoing cost containment efforts.  As such, current period results have benefited from these efforts in addition to cost reductions relating to interest expense, professional fees and goodwill amortization as previously mentioned.  These efforts in addition to management’s continued efforts to strengthen and build future marketshare for its custom molding and proprietary product lines should have a positive impact on future results as the economy improves.

 

Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle for Goodwill

 

The Company recorded an adjustment effective July 1, 2001 to reflect the impact of adopting SFAS No. 142 amounting to a reduction of intangible assets of $4,105,900.  This amount is reflected in net loss for the six months ended December 31, 2001 as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for goodwill.  The adjustment represents a write down of the Company’s net goodwill based on a review of the Company’s goodwill for impairment.  Under the assessment guidelines of SFAS No. 142 and the SEC’s guidance that the Company’s quoted market price is the most efficient mechanism for estimating fair value it was determined the fair value of the Company’s reporting unit was less than its carrying value.  Although the assumptions used to estimate fair value may not be indicative of future results, the Company’s goodwill has been reduced to zero and will not require future impairment analysis.

Financial Conditions

 

Working capital decreased $528,100 to $8,722,000 at December 31, 2001 compared to $9,194,100 at June 30, 2001.  The decrease is related to overall reductions in accounts receivable, inventories and accounts payable which is consistent with current operations and lower sales volumes.  Cash flows from operations increased by $476,100 to $2,032,700 for the six months ended December 31, 2001 compared to $1,556,600 for the same period last year.  The increase is attributed to the $307,500 improvement in net income between the two periods as well as the cash flows generated from net reductions in accounts receivable and inventories.  Cash flows from operations  continue to show strength allowing the Company to meet our cash flow requirements, pay the $.04 common stock dividend declared in June 2001, and reduce its debt structure by $1,008,800 since June 30, 2001.

 

The Company expended $634,200 for the property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) during the six months ended December 31, 2001.  This is slightly below prior year’s expenditures and is in line with current year’s PP&E budget.  The Company anticipates expending $1.2 million on capital expenditures in fiscal 2002.  The primary emphasis will be on new tooling and tooling modifications to enhance future revenues and customer satisfaction, additional equipment for our mold shop and a new injection molding machine to increase productivity.

 

Net borrowings under the line of credit decreased $536,600 to $563,400 between June 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001.  The decrease is attributed to the excess cash flows generated from operations.  At December 31, 2001, the Company had $4,436,600 available for future borrowings under the line of credit.

 

Effective October 1, 2001, the bank extended the maturity date on the line of credit to October 1, 2003 and reduced the total borrowings available under the line of credit from $7,000,000 to $5,000,000.  Management agreed to the bank’s request to reduce the line of credit borrowing limit after reviewing current cash flow projections which do not currently forecast requirements to exceed the revised $5,000,000 limit.  Management and the bank agreed verbally that the borrowing limit would revert back to its original amount ($7,000,000) if circumstances arose that would warrant the need for additional borrowings.  Management also decided not to advance on the $1,200,000 term loan commitment and instead requested the bank to issue a new term loan commitment in the amount of $2,000,000 which will expire on October 1, 2002.

 

On June 12, 2001, the Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $.04 per common share which was paid on July 13, 2001 to stockholders of record on June 27, 2001.  This marked the fifth payment of dividends since 1996 on the Company’s stock.  The Board of Directors has committed themselves to annually review a dividend program for the Company’s common stock.

 

Cash flows from operations in conjunction with the Company’s revolving line of credit and machinery and equipment loan commitment are expected to meet the Company’s needs for working capital, capital expenditures, common stock repurchases and repayment of long-term debt for the foreseeable future.

 

The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued a new release (EITF 00-10) at the end of July 2000 regarding the classification of freight and handling costs billed to customers.  EITF 00-10 required freight and handling costs billed separately on an invoice to be included as part of Sales on the Statements of Income.  In addition, the preferred classification of freight and handling costs expensed on the Statements of Income is to include them in Cost of Sales.  The Company adopted this requirement during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 and reclassifications have been made for all prior periods presented.  There was no impact on net income as a result of the adoption of EITF 00-10.

 

In June 2001, the FASB approved two new pronouncements: Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.”  SFAS No. 141 applies to all business combinations with a closing date after June 30, 2001.  This Statement eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting and further clarifies the criteria for recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill.

 

SFAS No. 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and initiates an annual review for impairment. Identifiable intangible assets with a determinable useful life will continue to be amortized.  The Company adopted SFAS No. 142 effective July 1, 2001, which required the Company to cease amortization of its remaining net goodwill balance and to perform a transitional goodwill impairment test as of July 1, 2001 and thereafter an impairment test at least annually and record an adjustment  when the fair value of our reporting unit, including goodwill, is less than its carrying value.  We are permitted six months from the adoption date to complete a review of goodwill for impairment and record necessary adjustments prior to the end of fiscal 2002.  We engaged a national valuation specialist to assist with the determination of the estimated fair value of our reporting unit.  To determine fair value, valuation models including guideline public companies, acquisition analysis and discounted cash flows were relied upon.  As such, under the assessment guidelines of SFAS No. 142 and the SEC’s guidance that the Company’s quoted market price is the most efficient mechanism for estimating fair value, their findings indicated that the estimated fair value of our reporting unit was less than its carrying value.  The Company completed the transitional goodwill impairment test in accordance with SFAS No. 142, and wrote-off effective July 1, 2001 its remaining net goodwill of $4,105,900 as a non-cash cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.  Goodwill amortization expense was $162,400 and $81,200 for the six months and three months ended December 31, 2000, respectively.

In September 2001, the FASB approved pronouncement SFAS No. 144  “ Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”  SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121 “Accounting for Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of” as well as Accounting Principle Board Opinion No. 30 “Reporting the Results of Operations — Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual, and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions.”  SFAS No. 144 not only retains the requirements of SFAS No. 121 to recognize an impairment loss if the carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable from its undiscounted cash flows, but also establishes a single accounting method for assets to be disposed of and broadens the presentation of discounted operations to include more disposal transactions.  SFAS No. 144 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.  The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
