HEARTLAND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
JUNE 30, 2010
NOTE A
|
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
|
|
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2009 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.
The balance sheet at December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statement of that date, but does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in United States of America for complete financial statements.
Certain amounts in 2009 have been reclassified to conform with 2010 classifications.
On January 19, 2010, the Company’s common shares were split two for one in a reverse stock split as disclosed in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 23, 2009. No fractional shares were issued. This stock split had no effect on the number of shares authorized. This transaction has been retroactively applied to the 2009 amounts throughout the financial statements including earnings per share calculations.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company originally authorized the issuance of 104,165 shares of common stock and subsequently reduced the shares authorized for issuance by 20,833 shares. The issuance was for Board compensation and was valued at $0.24 per share.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, the Company authorized the issuance of 58,824 shares of common stock. The issuance was for Board compensation and was valued at $0.34 per share.
The Company began notifying holders of the preferred shares that preferred shares not previously converted into common shares at the option of the shareholder will be converted into common shares through the automatic conversion feature, which occurs three years after the original issuance date. As a result of the reverse stock split of the common shares that took place in January, the conversion rate for the preferred shares is one common stock share for every two preferred shares.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, a total of 610,000 shares of preferred shares were converted into 305,000 common shares through this automatic conversion process. The remaining 1,760,000 shares of preferred shares were converted into 880,000 common shares through the automatic conversion process during the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
HEARTLAND, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
JUNE 30, 2010
NOTE C |
PREFERRED STOCK (continued) |
|
Estimated dividends, after converting the shares, are $13,742 in the quarter ending March 31, 2010 and $6,815 in the quarter ending June 30, 2010 with all preferred shares having been converted and no further dividends being paid.
The June 30, 2010 balance sheet classifies all preferred shares as common shares consistent with the automatic conversion feature, even though certain preferred shares have not been returned for cancellation and reissuance of common shares.
NOTE D
|
EARNINGS PER SHARE
|
Basic earnings per share assumes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the effect of common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants, using the treasury stock method of computing such effects.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OERATION.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. The following discussion and analysis provides certain information, which the Company’s management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010. The statements contained in this section that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking statements may be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” should” or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. From time to time, we or our representatives have made or may make forward-looking statements, orally or in writing. Such forward-looking statements may be included in our various filings with the SEC, or press releases or oral statements made by or with the approval of our authorized executive officers.
These forward-looking statements, such as statements regarding anticipated future revenues, capital expenditures and other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts, involve predictions. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by, these forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Many important factors affect our ability to achieve our objectives, including, among other things, technological and other developments within a given field, intense and evolving competition, the lack of an “established trading market” for our shares, and our ability to obtain additional financing, as well as other risks detailed from time to time in our public disclosure filings with the SEC.
Overview
The Company currently manages its business as three operational segments and files as a consolidated entity. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision makers. The three operational segments we currently report are:
·
|
Mound – Steel Fabrication – Primarily focused on the fabrication of metal products including structural steel, steel stairs and railings, bar joists, metal decks, and other miscellaneous steel products.
|
·
|
Lee Oil – Oil Distribution – Primarily focused on the wholesale and retail distribution of petroleum products including those sold to the motoring public through our retail locations.
|
·
|
Heartland Steel – Wholesale Steel – This is a startup segment of the business that we are working to develop into full fledged service center for the distribution of steel products. Construction was completed on the new warehouse and office facility in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Results of Operations
Three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2009
Revenues. Revenues increased for the three months ended June 30, 2010 to $25,891,900 from $22,779,586 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in revenue of $3,112,314 was primarily a result of price increases in the products being sold.
Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of Goods Sold increased for three months ended June 30, 2010 to $23,351,860 from $20,284,632 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase in the cost of goods sold of $3,067,227 was primarily a result of price increases in the products being sold.
Gross Profit. Gross Profits increased for three months ended June 30, 2010 to $2,540,040 in comparison to $2,494,954 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The Company believes gross profit is a much better reflection of the top line numbers since Revenues and Cost of Goods Sold can vary sharply from one quarter to the next. The gross profit for Lee Oil and HS approximates last year’s amounts. Mound has been required to take on some smaller and lower margin jobs, particularly in the first quarter, in order to keep a full workforce in place. As Mound begins work on some of the larger and higher margin jobs, we would expect to see the gross profit rise.
Expenses. Operating expenses for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2010 were very much in line with the operating expenses for the three and six month periods that ended June 30, 2009.
Net Loss Before Income Taxes. Net loss before income taxes increased for three months ended June 30, 2010 to a loss of $117,292 from a loss of $13,871 for the three months ended June 30, 2009. This is attributable to the lower gross profit while expenses remained relatively unchanged during the quarter.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity would be cash on hand and the conversion of accounts receivable into cash. We also believe cash provided from operating activities will be a great source of liquidity going forward, but would seek outside financing for any major expansion, betterment project, or possible future acquisitions as these would be considered long term projects.
The Company used $181,928 in operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2010. This was primarily a result of billings exceeding our collections and an increase in accounts receivable. We anticipate the trend to reverse during subsequent periods as we continue our collection efforts and an improvement in operating results.
As of June 30, 2010, the Company believes that cash on hand, cash generated by operations, and available bank borrowings will be sufficient to pay trade creditors, operating expenses in the normal course of business, and meet all of its bank and subordinate debt obligations for the next 12 months.
It is our belief that our stock is currently undervalued and that we are better suited to fund current projects through cash provided from operations and financing rather than attempting to sell what we belief to be an undervalued asset and further dilute the securities.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this Item.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS ANS PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the framework set forth in the report entitled Internal Control- Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, or COSO. The COSO framework summarizes each of the components of a company’s internal control system, including (i) the control environment, (ii) risk assessment, (iii) control activities, (iv) information and communication, and (v) monitoring.
Based on its evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, our management has concluded that during the period covered by this report, such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and there is a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of control deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
During the current reporting period, certain elements of the internal control system that may prevent the possibility of a misstatement being prevented or detected on a timely basis were found to be missing. These elements related principally to the segregation of duties and oversight in the financial reporting. Management will continue to monitor the identified material weakness and take the necessary steps to mitigate the possible impact on the Company’s financial statements.
The presence of these material weaknesses does not mean that a material misstatement has occurred in our financial statements, but only that our present controls might not be adequate to detect or prevent a material misstatement in a timely manner. Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on our financial results.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to material affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In the normal course of our business, we and/or our subsidiaries are named as defendants in suits filed in various state and federal courts. We believe that none of the litigation matters in which we, or any of our subsidiaries, are involved would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition or operations.
There is no past, pending or, to our knowledge, threatened litigation or administrative action which has or is expected by our management to have a material effect upon our business, financial condition or operations, including any litigation or action involving our officers, directors, or other key personnel.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, as such, are not required to provide the information under this Item.
