DAC TECHNOLOGIES GROUP INTERNATIONAL, INC.
SELECTED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
     Nature of Business
     DAC Technologies Group International, Inc. (the “Company”), is in the business of developing, marketing and outsourcing the manufacture of various consumer products, patented and non-patented. The Company’s primary business is gun safety and gun maintenance with a target consumer base of sportsmen, hunters and outdoorsmen, and recreational enthusiasts. The Company’s products have historically been security related, evolving from various personal, home and automotive electronic security devices, to firearm safety devices such as gun and trigger locks, cable locks and safes. In 2003, the product line was expanded to include a line of gun cleaning kits and accessories. This line has continued to be expanded, and during 2007 accounted for approximately 59% of the Company’s sales revenues. In 2005, the Company began developing products in the hunting and camping market, adding a line of meat processing items. The Company continues to develop this market, having added a knife processing kit, two aluminum camping tables and a turkey seat. Hunting and camping accounted for 28% of the Company’s sales in 2007. The Company has begun to expand its product line into household products, adding a wooden fireplace bellow in the third quarter of 2007, and three cleaning dusters that began shipping to customers in December 2007.
     Although a significant portion of our business is with the mass-market retailer Wal-Mart (approximately 66% during 2007), we have been able to considerably increase our business with large sporting goods retailers, distributors and catalog companies.
     Virtually all of the Company’s products are manufactured and imported from mainland China and shipped to the Company’s central warehouse facility in Little Rock, Arkansas for distribution. These products, along with other items manufactured in the United States, are sold primarily to mass merchants and sporting goods retailers throughout the United States and international locations.
     Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     Organization and basis of presentation
     The Company was incorporated as a Florida corporation in July 1998 under the name DAC Technologies of America, Inc. In July 1999, the Company changed its name to DAC Technologies Group International, Inc.
     Unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, are unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, reflect the adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial

7


Table of Contents

statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s latest 10-KSB. The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
     Use of Estimates
     The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may vary from those estimates.
     Inventories
     Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Costs include freight and applicable customs fees. Market is determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Inventories are shown net of a valuation reserve of $82,926 at March 31, 2008. The Company receives inventory from overseas at terms of F.O.B. shipping point, bearing the risk of loss at that point in time. During the time period prior to receipt in the warehouse, inventory is classified and recorded as inventory in transit. Inventory held in the warehouse is classified as finished goods.
                 
    Mar. 31, 2008     Dec. 31, 2007  
Inventories consist of:
               
Finished goods
  $ 4,499,216     $ 3,993,949  
Inventory in transit
    455,546       908,359  
Parts
    22,967       22,967  
 
           
 
  $ 4,977,729     $ 4,925,275  
 
           
     Due from Factor
     The Company factors a majority of its receivables without recourse under a credit risk factoring agreement. The fair values of accounts receivables and the amount due to the factor under this factoring agreement approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The amounts borrowed are collateralized by the outstanding accounts receivable, and are reflected as a reduction to accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. These amounts are as follows:
                 
    Mar. 31, 2008     Dec. 31, 2007  
Accounts receivable factored
  $ 1,613,066     $ 4,508,524  
Amounts advanced and outstanding
    1,274,088       3,743,014  
 
           
Due from factor
  $ 338,978     $ 765,510  
 
           
     Earnings per Share: Dilutive Effect
          Basic earnings per share of common stock are computed by dividing net income applicable to common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, the

8


Table of Contents

incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock warrants (using the treasury stock method). For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, there was no dilutive effect related to these outstanding stock warrants as their exercise price of $2.57 was greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.
Accounting Changes
     In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. Under the new standard, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. The standard provides a fair value hierarchy wherein quoted prices in active markets are assigned the highest priority is assigned and the lowest priority to unobservable data. The standard is effective for the financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The provisions of SFAS 157 currently do not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
     In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” which includes an amendment to the guidance in SFAS No. 115, “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities.” This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value in order to allow entities to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The statement applies to all entities, including non-profit entities; however, most of the provisions apply only to those entities electing the fair value option. The standard is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of FASB SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” The provisions of SFAS 159 currently do not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
     In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements.” SFAS No. 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to establish accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity and should be reported as equity in the financial statements, rather than in the liability or mezzanine section between liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 160 also requires consolidated net income be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are currently reviewing the applicability of FAS 160 to our operations and its potential impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Treasury Stock Transactions
     During the three months ended March 31, 2008 the Company purchased 8,500 shares of its common stock in the open market at a total cost of $6,800. These shares are accounted for as treasury stock (at cost) in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     The following Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition is qualified by reference to and should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto as set forth at the end of this document. We include the following cautionary statement in this Form 10Q for any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, expectations, future events or performances and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. Certain statements contained herein are forward-looking statements and, accordingly, involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. The Company’s expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and are believed by the Company to have a reasonable basis, including without limitations, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company’s records and other data available from third parties, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs or projections will result or be achieved or accomplished.
     Historically, the identification and development of new products and expansion of the Company’s sales organization have achieved growth. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to develop new products or expand sales to sustain rates of revenue growth and profitability in future periods. Any future success that the Company may achieve will depend upon many factors including those that may be beyond the control of the Company or which cannot be predicted at this time. Although we believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, actual results may differ materially from our expectations.
     Factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, without limitations:
    achieving planned revenue and profit growth in each of the Company’s business units;
 
    renewal of purchase orders consistent with past experience;
 
    increasing price, products and services competition;
 
    emergence of new competitors or consolidation of existing competitors;
 
    the timing of orders and shipments;
 
    continuing availability of appropriate raw materials and manufacturing relationships;
 
    maintaining and improving current product mix;
 
    changes in customer requirements and in the volume of sales to principal customers;
 
    changes in governmental regulations in the various geographical regions where the Company operates;
 
    general economic and political conditions;
 
    attracting and retaining qualified key employees;
 
    the ability of the Company to control the purchase cost of its products and operating costs; and
 
    continued availability of financing, and financial resources on the terms required to support the Company’s future business strategies.
     In evaluating these statements, you should consider various factors, including those summarized above, and, from time to time, in other reports the Company files with the SEC. These factors may cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between its actual results and

those reflected in these statements. The information constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
(a) Background
     We are in the business of developing, marketing and outsourcing the manufacture of various consumer products, patented and non-patented, designed to enhance and provide security for the consumer and for his property. Our products consist of gun cleaning kits and accessories, gun safety items such as gun locks, trigger locks and security safes, and hunting and camping accessories. In 2007, we expanded our product line into household products, having added a wooden fireplace bellow during the third quarter 2007 and three new cleaning dusters that began shipping to customers in December 2007. During the second quarter of 2008, the Company has added two additional cleaning dusters. In the third quarter of 2008, the Company will be adding a line of fireplace equipment, which will include fireplace screens, tools and accessories.
     A significant portion of our business is with mass-market retailers, primarily Wal-Mart, as well as gun manufacturers. With the addition of our “Gunmaster” gun cleaning kits, we continue to increase our business with sporting goods retailers and distributors.
The Company’s business plan and strategy for growth focuses on:
    increased penetration of our existing markets, particularly in the gun cleaning and accessories market;
 
    development of new products in new markets, such as camping and housewares;
 
    development of new products for the sporting goods market;
 
    identification and development of new markets for gun cleaning kits, i.e. government, law enforcement and military;
 
    identification and recruitment of effective manufacturer’s representatives to actively market these products on a national and international basis; and
 
    aggressive cost containment.
     Management believes that continued growth would require the Company to continually innovate and improve its existing line of products and services to meet consumer, industry and governmental demands. In addition, we must continue to develop or acquire new and unique products that will appeal to gun owners and other outdoor activities.
     In addition to our traditional products, our management is actively pursuing initiatives, which may add complementary businesses, products and services. These initiatives are intended to broaden the base of revenues to make us less dependent on particular products. By developing businesses which focus on products and services which complement our current line of products, and our current customer base, management hopes to leverage these opportunities to not only develop new sources of revenue, but to strengthen the demand for our existing products.
     Our products can be grouped into four main categories: (a) gun cleaning and maintenance, (b) hunting and camping, (c) gun safety, and (d) household products. In developing these products, we focus on developing features, establishing patents, and formulating pricing to obtain a competitive edge. We currently design and engineer certain of our products with the assistance of our Chinese trading agent and manufacturers. They are, in addition, responsible for the tooling, manufacture and packaging of our products.

     Gun Maintenance. We market over fifty (50) different gun cleaning kits, rod sets, tools and accessories used to clean and maintain virtually any firearm on the market. These kits are solid brass, and consist of “universal” kits designed to fit a variety of firearms, caliber specific kits, as well as replacement brushes, mops, etc. These kits are available in solid wood or aluminum cases, as well as blister packed. We also market several kits that have been privately labeled for certain customers. This product area accounted for 58% and 67% of gross sales during the first three months of 2008 and 2007, respectively.
     Hunting and camping. This category includes three meat processing items, Sportsman’s Lighter, game processing kit, two aluminum camping tables, and a turkey seat. This product area accounted for 13% and 16% of gross sales during the first three months of 2008 and 2007, respectively.
     Gun Safety. We market twelve (12) different gun safety locks and five (5) security and specialty safes. The gun-locks’ composition range from plastic to steel and keyed trigger locks to cable locks. The security safes are of heavy-duty, all steel construction and are designed for firearms, jewelry and other valuables. Eight of the Company’s gunlocks and two safes have been certified for sale consistent with the standards set out by the State of California. This product area accounted for 17% of gross sales during the first three months of 2008 and 2007.
     Household Products. We market four (3) household cleaner dusters and a wooden fireplace bellow in this category. During 2008, the Company will be adding two additional cleaning products and a line of fireplace equipment. This product area, new for 2008, accounted for 12% of gross sales during the first three months of 2008.
(b)   Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Condition
     A summary of the significant balance sheet items at March 31, 2008 as compared to year-end December 31, 2007 is presented below:
                         
    Mar. 31, 2008   Dec. 31, 2007   % Change
Accounts receivable
  $ 552,337     $ 263,646       109 %
Due from factor
    338,978       765,510       (56 %)
Inventories
    4,977,729       4,925,275       1 %
Total current assets
    6,277,835       6,662,270       (6 %)
Accounts payable
    2,003,580       2,393,050       (16 %)
Total current liabilities
    2,211,420       2,640,446       (16 %)
Working capital
    4,066,415       4,021,824       1 %
Stockholders’ equity
    4,749,055       4,713,881       1 %
There has been no material change in the overall financial condition of the Company for the period ending March 31, 2008 as compared to December 31, 2007.
The combined accounts receivable and due from factor represents the Company’s total accounts receivables less funds advanced by the Company’s factor. The overall decrease of $137,841 on these combined amounts from December 31, 2007 to March 31, 2008 is a result of decreased sales during the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2007.

Accounts payable (and accordingly total current liabilities) decreased March 31, 2008 as compared to December 31, 2007 due to the reduction of the amount owed to the Company’s trading agent for inventory purchases.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, the Company had net income of $41,974 on net sales of $2,715,769, as compared to a net loss of $17,202 on net sales of $2,839,625 for the same period ending March 31, 2007.
The only significant change in the Company’s results of operations was the decrease in operating expenses of $191,411 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the same period in 2007. Of this decrease, $146,500 is due to the one time charge related to the settlement of a lawsuit with the Company’s former insurance carrier during the period ending March 31, 2007. The remaining decrease of $44,911 is directly attributable to the cost saving measures initiated in March 2007 related to shipping and warehouse costs. As a result of these measures, freight costs decreased $34,747, from $97,098 in the first quarter of 2007 to $62,351 in the first quarter of 2008. Prior to March 2007, we selected freight carriers based upon the discount each offered to secure our business. We would use this one carrier for all shipments. In March 2007, we began obtaining spot quotes from six to ten carriers for each and every LTL shipment of our products. This has allowed us to take advantage of lower freight rates that some carriers are able to offer for shipments to certain areas of the country they cover, as opposed to other carriers. We intend to continue these procedures indefinitely until a more cost efficient method is determined that will save the Company freight costs in the future. However, we also expect that future freight costs may very well increase simply due to fuel surcharges that freight carriers will most certainly increase due to gas and oil prices. The Company was also able to reduce labor costs in the shipping department by $18,093 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to 2007.
(c)   Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity needs arise primarily from inventory. Our primary source of cash is funds from our operations. We believe that external sources of liquidity could be obtained in the form of bank loans, letters of credit, etc. The Company maintains a factoring agreement wherein it assigns its receivables (on a non-recourse basis). Consequently, should our sales revenues significantly decline, it could affect our short-term liquidity. The factor performs all credit and collection functions, and assumes all risks associated with the collection of the receivables. The Company pays a fee of 65/100ths of 1% of the face value of each receivable for this service. This fee is included in interest expense on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The factor may also, at its discretion, advance funds prior to the collection of our accounts, for which the Company is charged interest. The interest rate charged is the JPMorgan Chase Bank prime rate (5.25% as of March 31, 2008). Advances are payable to the factor on demand. For the three-month period ending March 31, 2008, our factor had advanced us $1,274,088.
(d)   Trends
Our business faces the issues of increased manufacturing costs and margin erosion as a result of raw material, fuel and other utility price increases, and a weak U.S. dollar. This will put pressure on our margins and overhead costs. Any strengthening of the U.S. dollar would impact favorably on the business, as this would ease the pressure on margins and increase our competitiveness. Current trends, however, suggest a continued weakening which will place additional pressure on our sales into our markets. The Company has not to date sought to recover these price increases for our products, which has resulted in declining margins. We

recognize that the customary method of recovering these increased costs would be to increase our prices to our customers. This is difficult for us to accomplish due to the nature of our customer base. Since a significant portion of our sales are to national retailers and distributors (e.g. 66% of our 2007 sales business is through Wal-Mart alone), at this time we have chosen not to do so with minor exceptions. We were able to increase our prices to some of our smaller customers (approximately 15% of our customer base) in June 2007.
(e) Gun Legislation
Several federal laws, including the National Firearms Act (1934), Gun Control Act (1968), Firearms Owner’s Protection Act (1986), Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (1993), the 1994 Omnibus Crime Control Act and other laws, regulate the ownership, purchase and use of handguns. Notwithstanding these and other laws, there is not any federal law that requires the use of gunlocks, despite numerous attempts in Congress to pass such legislation. In March 2008, the U. S. Supreme Court heard argument in the case of District of Columbia vs. Heller, relating to the issue of whether the gun control laws of Washington, D. C. on non-government persons violated the Second Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, the right to bear arms. The city is challenging the decision of the D.C. Circuit Court, which said that, “The Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms, and is not limited to people serving in a modern militia.” It is unknown what impact, if any, a ruling upholding the D.C. Circuit’s decision will have on our business. In addition to federal gun laws, most states and some local jurisdictions have imposed their own firearms’ restrictions. Some states have passed Child Access Prevention (or CAP) Laws which hold gun owners responsible if they leave guns easily accessible to children and a child improperly gains access to the weapon. Additionally, the State of California has enacted legislation that establishes performance standards for “firearm safety devices”, “lock-boxes” and ”safes”. The fact that gun safety laws are passed by federal, state, or local governments does not ensure that the demand for our products will increase
(f) Critical Accounting Estimates
     The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 2 to the December 31, 2007 audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB. The quarterly financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2008, attached hereto, should therefore be read in conjunction with that discussion. Certain of these accounting policies as discussed below require management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that could materially affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties. For all of these estimates, we caution that future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment. Since December 31, 2007, there have been no changes in our critical accounting policies and no significant change to the assumptions and estimates related to them.
     Long-lived Assets. Depreciation expense is based on the estimated useful lives of the underlying property and equipment. Although the Company believes it is unlikely that any significant changes to the useful lives of its property and equipment will occur in the near term, an increase or decrease in the estimated useful lives would result in changes to depreciation expense.

14


Table of Contents

     The Company continually reevaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets, for events or changes in circumstances, which indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. As part of this reevaluation, if impairment indicators are present, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposal. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the long-lived asset to the estimated fair value of the asset.
     Inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of weighted-average cost or market. Market is determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. The Company records a valuation reserve for inventories for which costs exceed the net realizable value. Although the Company believes it is unlikely that any significant changes to the valuation reserve will be necessary in the near term, changes in demand for our products would result in changes to the valuation reserve.
     Patents and Trademarks. Amortization expense is based on the estimated economic useful lives of the underlying patents and trademarks. Although the Company believes it is unlikely that any significant changes to the useful lives of its patents and trademarks will occur in the near term, rapid changes in technology or changes in market conditions could result in revisions to such estimates that could materially affect the carrying value of these assets and the Company’s future consolidated operating results.
(g)   Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     Since 2003, our Chief Executive Officer, David Collins, leased a portion of his home in Miami, Florida to the Company, which serves as the Company’s executive office. The Company pays a monthly office allowance to Mr. Collins of $5,500, for approximately 1,200 square feet and secretarial support. There is no lease agreement for these premises. This office arrangement was not the product of arm’s length negotiation; however, the Company has determined the arrangement to be competitive with comparable office space and secretarial support.
     The Company does not use affiliation with special purpose entities, variable interest entities or synthetic leases to finance its operations. Additionally, the Company has not entered into any arrangement requiring it to guarantee payment of third party debt or to fund losses of an unconsolidated special purpose entity.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
None.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow

timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and we necessarily are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures.
     As of March 31, 2008, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, because certain deficiencies involving internal controls constituted a material weakness as more fully detailed in Item 8A of the Company’s December 31, 2007 Form 10-KSB. The material weakness identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported financial statements or any other related financial disclosure, nor does management believe that it had any effect on the accuracy of the Company’s financial statements for the current reporting period.
Item 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
There was no material change to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during its most recent fiscal quarter from that of December 31, 2007.
