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, 2004.

 

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 December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123R (“Share-Based Payment”).  SFAS 123R requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for equity instruments awarded to employees.  SFAS 123R is effective for the Company as of the beginning of the first interim period that begins after June 15, 2005.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs” (“SFAS 151”), an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.  SFAS 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material.  SFAS 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.  The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 151 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

NOTE 2 - NOTES RECEIVABLE:

 

In July 2001, the Company and a former customer agreed to convert an open trade receivable balance due from the customer in the amount of $150,000 to a note receivable bearing interest at 8% per annum and maturing on June 15, 2004.  In March 2005, the Company reached an out of court settlement with the former customer that resulted in a write down of the remaining note balance from $138,600 to $85,000.  The remaining balance of the note is due in three installments of $28,333 beginning in March 2005 with the final installment due in May 2005.  As of March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2004, the balance of this note amounted to $56,700 and $138,600, respectively

NOTE 6 - BANK LINE OF CREDIT:

 

The Company has a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank.  The line matures October 1, 2006 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% (5.5% per annum at March 31, 2005).  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, 2005, total borrowings under the Company’s line of credit was $1,617,100 of which $1,500,000 was borrowed under the LIBOR option bearing a LIBOR interest rate of 3.83% per annum and maturing April 15, 2005.  Proceeds from the loan were used for working capital purposes.  At March 31, 2005, the Company had approximately $3,382,900 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% (5.5% per annum at March 31, 2005).  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, 2005, the total outstanding principal balance was under the LIBOR option at 4.08% per annum maturing April 15, 2005.  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 ($3 million as of March 31, 2005) 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 notional amount of the swap agreement will remain at $3 million until August 15, 2005 at which time it will be reduced to $2 million and will remain at this amount through to the swap’s maturity on August 15, 2006.

NOTE 9 - STOCK OPTION PLAN:

 

The Company has a stock option plan that was adopted by the Board of Directors on October 7, 2003 and approved by shareholder vote on December 8, 2003.  This plan allows, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, to grant stock 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, 2005, the Company still has 850,000 shares available for future grants. The Company accounts for its stock options under the intrinsic value method.

 

NOTE 10 - COMMON STOCK:

 

At March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2004 there was no outstanding treasury 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, 2005 the Company acquired 16,500 shares of common stock at a total cost of $33,000.

At March 31, 2005, the Company had combined Florida and Tennessee state net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $7,144,900.  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 2005 if not utilized.

 

NOTE 12 - 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, 2005, rent expense under these leases, including month-to-month rentals, was approximately $878,500.  The following table summarizes the obligations under these commitments on an annual basis:

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, 2005 and 2004

 

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2005 increased 8.3% to $10,873,200 compared to $10,036,100 for the same period last year.  We are extremely pleased that our sales are still trending upward in spite of signs that the U.S. economy might be cooling down.  Four out of five of our product groups posted gains this quarter.  Our largest gains were realized in marine products that posted a 41% increase in quarterly sales, followed by industrial products at 11%, and contract manufacturing at 5%.  We still feel that there is a lot of opportunities in our marketplace and will continue to position ourselves to take advantage of them.  During this fiscal year we spent approximately $1.4 million on new equipment and tooling in efforts to better serve our customers and attract new business.  We remain confident that these efforts, coupled with prior year capital improvements, has allowed us to become a leader in our industry and will continue to foster positive results.

 

Cost of goods sold rose slightly to 77.7% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to 76.3% for the same period last year.  To put this in perspective, our material costs are up 3% as a percentage of net sales; however, we are pleased with our efforts to minimize the effects of rising material and natural gas costs through increasing our sales volumes, passing on price increases, and realizing cost savings through installation of energy efficient machinery.  It is our hope that current economic conditions will also temporarily stifle additional cost escalations.

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $1,817,700, or 16.7% of net sales, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared with $1,733,100, or 17.3% of net sales, for the same period last year.  As a percentage to net sales, we are pleased with our efforts to maintain SG&A levels in line with revenue levels.  The $84,600 increase between the two periods is primarily attributed to an increase in wage costs that is linked to our sales/marketing and cost efficiency efforts.  We believe the benefits obtained by the increase in our net sales and operating efficiencies has more than justified any minimal increase in overall SG&A costs.

 

Total interest expense remained static at $50,600 for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $51,900 for the same period last year.  Although our debt level is down $1.5 million compared to amounts outstanding at March 31, 2004, any potential savings in interest costs for borrowings not covered under our interest rate swap agreement have been diminished by an increase in the bank’s prime interest rate of 1.75% over the last nine months.  Because of our interest rate swap agreement; we do not foresee any significant increases in future interest costs even if additional interest rates hikes are instituted.

 

Our income tax provision was $236,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  This is comparable to last years provision of $250,100 and is consistent with the similar levels of taxable income between the periods.

 

Net income remained fairly static at $339,800, or $.03 per common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $375,700, or $.03 per common share, for the same period last year.  Again, we are pleased with the growth in sales during the current

 

10



 

period that has been instrumental in offsetting increases in our operating costs driven primarily by climbing resin and natural gas costs.  The increase in net sales along with the installation of energy efficient machinery has had a very positive influence on our overall cost structure and as such helped minimize any erosion to our bottom line.  We will continue to benefit from these capital improvement projects through higher efficiencies and lower utility consumption.  We will also benefit from our drive to bolster sales through our focused marketing efforts and plans to institute additional price increases.

 

Results of Operations – Nine Months Ended March 31, 2005 and 2004

 

Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 increased 16.9% to $32,778,000 compared to $28,040,400 for the same period last year.  We are very pleased with the 16.9% increase in net sales during the current period.  We attribute the growth to our focused marketing efforts that have allowed us to expand our presence in our marketplace, as well as an additional week of operations and various price increases instituted during the period.  During the last nine months we have expended approximately $1.4 million on new equipment and new or redesigned molds to effectively capture our target markets.  We believe that this is a key element that has driven our organization to the forefront of our industry and allowed us to better serve our customers with exceptional and functional products.  As a result, all five of our product groups contributed to the $4.7 million increase in net sales during the period.  Our marine products reflected a 34.9% increase over prior period results, followed by contract manufacturing at 17.5%, industrial products at 16.2%, and refuse products at 14.4%.  As we move into the balance of fiscal 2005, we plan to continue to expand and capitalize on these efforts.

 

Cost of goods sold decreased by 0.8% to 77.3% of net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 compared to 78.1% for the same period last year.  Even after taking into account prior year’s inventory write-down ($200,000), we are pleased with the preservation of gross margin in spite of the challenges to mitigate increases in resin and natural gas costs.  We have been successful in our efforts to mitigate these costs by increasing our sales volumes as noted above, passing on price increases and from the cost savings obtained by recently installed energy efficient machinery.  We believe the latter will continue to minimize the effect of rising natural gas costs.  It is our hope that current economic conditions will also temporarily stifle additional cost escalations.

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $5,503,000, or 16.8% of net sales, for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $5,267,000, or 18.8% of net sales, for the same period last year.  As a percentage to net sales, we are very pleased with the improved coverage of these costs and our ability to maintain SG&A levels in line with revenue levels.  The $236,000 increase between the periods is primarily attributed to an increase in wage costs that is linked to our sales/marketing and cost efficiency efforts.  We believe that the benefits obtained by the increase in our net sales and operating efficiencies has more than justified any increase in our overall SG&A costs.  In addition, we have also benefited from a reduction in product royalty costs of $86,100, which will also benefit operating results through the remaining portion of fiscal year 2005.

 

Total interest remained fairly static at $154,300 for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $161,100 for the same period last year.  Although our debt level is down $1.5 million compared to amounts outstanding at March 31, 2004, any potential savings in interest costs for borrowings not covered under our interest rate swap agreement have been diminished by an increase in the bank’s prime rate of 1.75% over the last nine months. Because of our interest rate swap agreement; we do not foresee any significant increases in future interest costs even if additional rate hikes are instituted.

 

We reported an income tax provision of $787,100 for the nine months ended March 13, 2005 compared to $315,500 for the same period last year.  The fluctuation is consistent with our $1,170,800 increase in income before tax.

 

Net income increased to $699,200 to $1,179,000, or $.10 cents per common share, for the nine months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $479,800, or $.04 cents per common share, for the same period last year.  We are again pleased with our marketing efforts, the enhancements to our product offerings and the ability to pass along increases in our operating costs that have ultimately promoted the 16.9% increase in net sales.  This coupled with our installation of energy efficient machinery has had a very positive influence on our overall cost structure and as such, provided the necessary catalyst to improve our bottom line by 146%.  We will continue to benefit from our capital improvement projects through higher efficiencies and lower utility consumption as well as our hopes that current economic conditions will tame future cost escalations.  As we move into the final quarter of our fiscal year, we remain energized and fully optimistic that our past achievements coupled with ongoing marketing efforts will continue to foster positive results.

Financial Conditions

 

Working capital increased $1,281,000 to $9,037,300 at March 31, 2005 compared to $7,756,300 at June 30, 2004.  Working capital benefited from the $699,200 increase in our net income, proceeds from the sale of our Wisconsin real property and the $259,800 increase in net borrowings on our bank line of credit during the current period.  These influxes of capital were used for the purchase of resin, payment of our $.05 common stock dividend and annual bonus plan.  Cash flows from operations increased $1,017,700 to $2,008,000 for the last nine months ended March 31, 2005 compared to $1,070,300 for the same period last year.  The increase is again primarily related to the $699,200 increase in our net income and the cash flows obtained from accounts receivable reductions that were offset by an increase in inventories consistent with current production requirements and to take advantage of preferred resin pricing.

 

We expended $1,573,100 for property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) during the nine months ended March 31, 2005, compared to $1,196,000 for the same period last year.  During fiscal 2005, we placed into service three new energy efficient rotational molding machines at a combined cost of $817,300 with the balance of our expenditures primarily going to new tooling and various tooling and machinery enhancement projects.  These expenditures are a testament to our commitment to allocate funding for capital expenditure projects that have provided us with the foundation to improve our operating efficiencies and promote increases in sales revenue.  We anticipate expending $1.9 million on capital expenditures in fiscal 2005.

 

Net borrowings under the line of credit increased $259,800 to $1,617,100 between June 30, 2004 and March 31, 2005.  The increase is due to the timing of payments related to raw materials purchases, federal income taxes, and our annual bonus plan.  Due to the timing of such payments, it is not unusual to incur temporary fluctuations in our line of credit borrowings throughout the year.  Since June 30, 2004, our total debt borrowings have decreased by $388,500.  During the balance of fiscal 2005, we anticipate out total debt borrowings to remain fairly consistent.  At March 31, 2005, we had $3,382,900 available for future borrowings under the line of credit.

 

Effective October 1, 2004, the bank extended the maturity date on the line of credit to October 1, 2006.  In addition, the maturity date for the letter of credit subfeature of our credit facility was extended to February 1, 2007.  All other terms and conditions surrounding our credit facility with the bank remained the same.

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2005, we acquired 16,500 shares of common stock at a total cost of $33,000.  We plan to continue this program throughout fiscal year 2005.

 

On June 16, 2004, the Board of Directors (“The Board”) declared a common stock dividend of $.05 per common share ($599,100) that was paid on July 23, 2004 to stockholders of record on July 9, 2004.  This marked the eighth 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 repurchasing and repayment of long-term debit for the foreseeable future.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 123R (“Share-Based Payment”).  SFAS 123R requires the Company to recognize compensation expense for equity instruments awarded to employees.  SFAS 123R is effective for the Company as of the beginning of the first interim period that begins after June 15, 2005.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs” (“SFAS 151”), an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.  SFAS 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material.  SFAS 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.  The Company does not believe adoption of SFAS 151 will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

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.

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 2004, which contain additional information regarding our accounting policies and other disclosures by GAAP.

 

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 percentage of net sales and a specific review of all significant outstanding receivable balances.  Percentages applied 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 cost 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.

 

13



 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue from sales of products is recognized at the time product is shipped to the customer at which time title and risk of ownership transfer to the purchaser.

 

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, 2004 and should be read in conjunction with this interim financial information.  Since June 30, 2004, 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.
