Explanatory Note

 

This amendment to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A (this “Second Amendment”) is being filed to amend our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2008, which was originally filed on February 18, 2009 (the “Original Filing”) and was amended in a filing on March 24, 2009 (the “First Amendment”).  The condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and related disclosures in this Amendment have been restated in accordance with the changes described below.  The principal reason for the restatement is the correction and reclassification of information due to the previously discovered and disclosed misappropriation by the former Chairman of the Company’s Board.  In the process of completing the restatement, the Company has made some additional changes to correct certain small mathematical errors.  All of the changes to the condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of this restatement are more fully reflected in the tables included at Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1, Item 1 “Unaudited Financial Statements” of this Second Amendment.

 

The Company originally reported the acquisition by the Company of 747,250 shares of its own stock at an average cost of $.72 per share price for a total cost of $570,000 in cash  (the “Stock Buyback”) during the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2008 of fiscal 2009.  In the process of completing the audit of its financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the Company was unable to obtain satisfactory documentation confirming the Stock Buyback.

 

Mr. L.G. Hancher, Jr., the then-Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Audit Committee, had recommended the Stock Buyback and had undertaken to complete it on the Company’s behalf.  Mr. Hancher had previously reported to the Company and its auditors that he had completed the Stock Buyback on the terms disclosed in the Company’s filings.

 

In the process of investigating matters relating to the Stock Buyback, a number of irregularities surrounding the purported transactions surfaced.  In response to ongoing inquiries from management for appropriate documentation on the use of $570,000 provided by the Company to complete the Stock Buyback, on January 6, 2010, the Company received a letter from Mr. Hancher that stated $400,000 of the funds advanced to him by the Company were not used to purchase shares of Company stock.  The Company continues to work to recover all of the amounts misappropriated, but any such recoveries will impact subsequent periods and will be reported for in the periods in which such recoveries occur.

 

The funds reported as used for the Stock Buyback have been re-characterized as fraud expense in this Amendment.  Also as a result of the misappropriation, the number of outstanding shares was incorrectly reported in each of the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for fiscal 2009, including the Original Filing and have been corrected in this Second Amendment.

 

With this Form 10-Q/A, we are amending the following items in the Original Filing:

 

·                  Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements (Unaudited);”

·                  Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;”

·                  Part II, Item 6 “Exhibits.”

 

All of the adjustments made as a result of the restatement are more fully described in Note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part 1, Item 1 “Unaudited Financial Statements” of this Form 10 Q/A.

 

No attempt has been made in this Amendment to modify or update any other disclosures in the Original Filing.  Except for the amended and restated information as discussed above, this Amendment continues to describe conditions as of the date of the Original Filing, and the disclosures contained herein have not been updated to reflect events, results or developments that have occurred after the Original Filing, or to modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events unless otherwise indicated in this Amendment.  Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original Filing have not been revised to reflect events, results or developments that have occurred or facts that have become known to us after the date of the Original Filing, and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context.  This Amendment should be read in conjunction with our filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission subsequent to the Original Filing, including any amendments to those filings.

1. Basis of Presentation:

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

The results of operations for the interim periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the September 30, 2008 consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Forms 10-K and 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2008.

 

2. Restatement

 

In January 2010, the Company determined it would need to restate its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended December 31, 2008.  The Company originally reported the acquisition by the Company of 747,250 shares of its own stock at an average cost of $.72 per share price for a total cost of $570,000 in cash during the first fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2008 (the “Stock Buyback”) of fiscal 2009.  In the process of completing the audit of its financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, the Company was unable to obtain satisfactory documentation confirming the Stock Buyback.

 

Mr. L.G. Hancher, Jr., the then-Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Audit Committee, had recommended the Stock Buyback and had undertaken to complete it on the Company’s behalf.  Mr. Hancher had previously reported to the Company and its auditors that he had completed the Stock Buyback on the terms disclosed in the Company’s filings.

 

In the process of investigating matters relating to the Stock Buyback, a number of irregularities surrounding the purported transactions surfaced.  In response to ongoing inquiries from management for appropriate documentation on the use of $570,000 in cash provided by the Company to complete the Stock Buyback, on January 6, 2010, the Company received a letter from Mr. Hancher that stated $400,000 of the funds advanced to him by the Company were not used to purchase shares of Company stock.  The Company continues to work to recover all of the amounts misappropriated, but any such recoveries will impact subsequent periods and will be reported for in the periods in which such recoveries occur.

 

The funds reported as used for the Stock Buyback have been re-characterized as fraud expense in this Amendment.  Also as a result of the misappropriation, the number of outstanding shares was incorrectly reported in each of the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for fiscal 2009, including the Original Filing and have been corrected in this Second Amendment.

 

The following tables show the specific effects of the restatement on the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three month period ended December 31, 2008:

4. Earnings (Loss) Per Share:

 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic EPS while giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if warrants to issue common stock were exercised. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations for the three months and nine months ended December31, 2008 and 2007:

5. Segment Information:

 

Segment information has been presented on a basis consistent with how business activities are reported internally to management. Management solely evaluates operating profit by segment by direct costs of manufacturing its products without an allocation of indirect costs. In determining the total revenues by segment, freight income and sales discounts are not allocated to each of the segments for internal reporting purposes. The Company has four operating segments that assemble, manufacture, and sell a variety of products: ATV Accessories, Plastic Wheel Covers, Weekend Warrior, and Contract Manufacturing. ATV Accessories is engaged in the design, assembly, and sale of ATV accessories such as snowplow blades, lawnmowers, spreaders, sprayers, tillage equipment, winch mounts, utility boxes, and oil filters. Plastic Wheel Covers manufactures and sells injection-molded plastic wheel covers for vehicles such as golf cars, light-duty trailers, and lawn mowers. Weekend Warrior is engaged in the design, assembly, and sale of ATV and utility vehicle accessories that includes lawnmowers, spreaders, sprayers, tillage equipment, and a newly patented universal plow system. Contract Manufacturing is engaged in the design, manufacture and assembly of a wide array of parts, components, and other products for non-competing Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) and other businesses. The significant accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2008.

 

The following is a summary of certain financial information related to the four segments during the three months December 31, 2008 and 2007:

As of December 31, 2008, all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States of America. ATV Accessories sales to major customers which exceeded 10% of net revenues, accounted for approximately 30.4% and 15.0% of net revenue for three months ending December 31, 2008 and approximately 23.8% and 10.0% of revenue for three months ending December 31, 2007.   Plastic Wheel Covers, Weekend Warrior, and Contract Manufacturing did not have sales to any individual customer greater than 10% of net revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2008 or 2007

 

6. Stock Based Compensation:

 

During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, the Company adopted Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which requires share-based payment transactions to be accounted for using a fair value based method and the recognition of the related expense in the results of operations. SFAS No. 123(R) allows companies to choose one of two transition methods: the modified prospective transition method or the modified retrospective transition method.

 

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method of transition which requires compensation expense related to share based payments to be recognized beginning on the adoption date over the requisite service period, generally the vesting period, and over the remaining service period for the unvested portion of awards granted prior.

 

The June 2008 President’s Executive Employment Agreement provides for the grant of 50,000 shares of stock in the Company, vesting over a three year period. At the end of the first and second full year of employment, the President shall become vested in and receive 16,666 shares of stock each year. At the completion of the President’s third full year of employment, he shall become vested in and receive the final 16,668 shares of stock.  Total compensation expense recognized during the three month period ended December 31, 2008 as $6,875.  As of December 31, 2008, there was $61,875 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the non-vested share-based compensation arrangement under the plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a three year period.

 

The President is further offered stock options to acquire an additional 500,000 shares of stock in the Corporation at the closing price on the date employment comenced, $1.68 per share, which option shall run for a period of 3 years. This option may be exercised by the President paying to the Corporation the exercise price multiplied by the number of shares he wishes to exercise at that time. At any time during the first 3 years of employment, this option may be exercised in full or in part. Any portion of this option which has not been exercised on the third anniversary of the commencement date of the Executive Employment Agreement will lapse and no longer be an obligation of the Corporation. Stock shall be restricted and contain the appropriate legend noting its restriction.

Table of Contents

 

Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and compensation cost is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period of the award. The fair value of non-vested stock awards was determined by reference to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. Consistent with the valuation method the Company used for disclosure-only purposes under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company uses the lattice valuation model to estimate the fair value of option awards. Determining the appropriate fair value model and related assumptions requires judgment, including estimating stock price volatility, forfeiture rates and expected terms.

 

The following assumptions were utilized to estimate the fair value of the Company’s stock option awards during the three-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007:

Risk-free interest rate

Expected life of options

Expected annual dividends

%

 

 

The expected volatility rate was based on the historical volatility, for the last 3 years, of the Company’s common stock. The expected life represents the average time options that vest are expected to be outstanding based on the vesting provisions and the Company’s historical exercise, cancellation and expiration patterns.

 

The risk-free rate was based on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with a maturity approximating the expected life as of the week of the grant date. There was no annual dividend rate assumed as a cash dividend is not expected to be declared and paid in the foreseeable future. The Company updates these assumptions at least on an annual basis and on an interim basis if significant changes to the assumptions are warranted.

 

With the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the Company recorded stock-based employee compensation expense related to stock options of approximately $6,200, net of a tax benefit in the amount of $2,900, and net of estimated forfeitures, for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008. The Company recognized the full amount of the stock- based employee compensation expense of its equity incentive plans in the consolidated statements of operations for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008 and did not capitalize any such costs in the condensed consolidated balance sheets other than in the general overhead pool for inventory costs. The weighted-average grant-date fair value per share of options granted during the three-month period ended December 31, 2008 was $0.219 per share. No options were granted for the three month period ended December 31, 2007.

As of December 31, 2008, there was $47,125 of total compensation cost related to this stock option arrangement granted under the plan. The cost is expected to be recognized over a three year period. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), the company maintained an employment agreement with their former CEO which provides for $100,000 in restricted Company common stock with 25% issued upon the first day of employment and 25% issued each anniversary date for the next three years as an employment bonus.

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

 

This discussion relates to Cycle Country Accessories Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries (the “Company”) and should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2008, and the year then ended, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, both contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2008.

 

We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from period to period, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles affect our financial statements. The discussion also provides information about the financial results of the various segments of our business to provide a better understanding of how those segments and their results affect the financial condition and results of operations of the Company as a whole.  To the extent that our analysis contains statements that are not of a historical nature, these statements are forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties.  See “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” included elsewhere in this filing.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon its Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates the estimates including those related to bad debts and inventories.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements:

Table of Contents

 

Accounts Receivable - Trade credit is generally extended to customers on a short-term basis.  These receivables do not bear interest, although a finance charge may be applied to balances more than 30 days past due.  Trade accounts receivable are carried on the books at their estimated collectible value.  Individual trade accounts receivable are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history and their current financial condition.  Trade accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when such receivables are deemed to be uncollectible.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts - The Company maintains an allowance  for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the  inability of its customers to make required payments.  If the  financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate,  resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments,  additional allowance may be required.

 

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, using the weighted average cost method. Cost includes materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories. Management regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand, future product demand and the estimated utility of our inventory. If the review indicates a reduction in utility below carrying value, management would reduce the Company’s inventory to a new cost basis through a charge to cost of goods sold.

 

Reserve for Inventory - The Company records valuation reserves on its  inventory for estimated excess and obsolete inventory equal to the  difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market  value based upon assumptions about future product demand and market  conditions.  If future product demand or market conditions are less  favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory  reserves may be required.

 

Depreciation of Long-Lived Assets - The Company assigns useful lives  for long-lived assets based on periodic studies of actual asset lives  and the intended use for those assets.  Any change in those assets  lives would be reported in the statement of operations as soon as any  change in estimate is determined.

 

Goodwill and Other Intangibles - Goodwill and other intangible assets are reviewed and assessed for impairment at least annually or when indicators of potential impairment exist, using a fair-value based approach.  Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives.

 

In accordance with ASC 360, the Company evaluated its long-lived assets and other intangible assets, using an undiscounted cash flow analysis prior to evaluating goodwill.  This analysis supported the carrying value of the long-lived assets and other intangible assets, but would only support a minimal amount of goodwill.  Therefore, management determined that no impairment was necessary of the long-lived assets and other intangible assets.

 

In evaluating goodwill, the Company evaluated the market capitalization at December 31, 2008 and performed an evaluation based on multiples of earnings and discounted cash flow analysis as evidence of the fair value of the entity.  It was determined that the fair value exceeded the carrying amount of goodwill, and accordingly, the Company did not take an impairment charge..

 

The Company’s analysis uses significant estimates in the evaluation of long-lived assets, other intangibles, and goodwill, such as estimated cash flows from continuing operations, estimated future revenues, cost of goods sold and gross margin.  It is reasonably possible that our estimates and assumptions could change in the near future, which could lead to further impairment of long-lived assets and other intangibles

 

Accrued Warranty Costs - The Company records a liability for the  expected cost of warranty-related claims as its products are sold.  The Company provides a one-year warranty on all of its products except  the snowplow blade, which has a limited lifetime warranty.  The amount  of the warranty liability accrued reflects the Company’s estimate of  the expected future costs of honoring its obligations under the  warranty plan.  The estimate is based on historical experiences and  known current events.  If future estimates of expected costs were to  be less favorable, an increase in the amount of the warranty liability  accrued may be required.

 

Accounting for Income Taxes - The Company is required to estimate  income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates.  This  process involves estimating actual current tax exposure for the  Company together with assessing temporary differences resulting from  differing treatment of items, such as property, plant and equipment  depreciation, for tax and accounting purposes.  Actual income taxes  could vary from these estimates due to future changes in income tax  law or results from final tax exam reviews.  At December 31, 2008, the  Company assessed the need for a valuation allowance on its deferred  tax assets.  A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely  than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not  be realized.  Based upon the historical operating profits and the near  certainty regarding sufficient near term taxable income, management  believes that there is no need to establish a valuation allowance.  Should the Company determine that it would not be able to realize all  or part of its net deferred tax assets in the future, a valuation  allowance may be required.

 

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued  FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for

 

17



Table of Contents

 

Uncertainty in  Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.” FIN 48  prescribes a comprehensive model for how companies should recognize,  measure, present and disclose in their financial statements uncertain  tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under FIN  48, tax positions are recognized in the Company’s financial statements  as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50%  likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with tax  authorities assuming full knowledge of the position and all relevant  facts. These amounts are subsequently reevaluated and changes are  recognized as adjustments to current period tax expense. FIN 48 also  revised disclosure requirements to include an annual tabular roll  forward of unrecognized tax benefits.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on October 1, 2007. At  December 31, 2008, no uncertain positions were identified. To the  extent interest and penalties would be assessed by taxing authorities  on any underpayment of income taxes, such amounts would be accrued and  classified as a component of income tax expense on the condensed  consolidated statement  of income.

The decrease in revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2008  was mainly attributable to our ATV accessories business segment, which  had a decrease in sales of approximately 13% this quarter compared to  the same quarter last year, as well as a decline in our Plastic Wheel  Cover segment.  The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of  revenue was mainly attributable to an increase in raw material costs.  The company experienced significant increases in the costs of raw  steel and metal purchased parts.  While the company implemented a  significant price increase of its own, the full increase was not able  to be realized within our two business segments that utilize steel as  a raw material, ATV accessories and Contract Manufacturing.  To remain  competitive and maintain, or grow market share, the company was not  able to pass on the full price increase to its distributors and  customers.  As the company continues to implement its business plan,  Cycle Country is starting to become known for more than just snowplow  blades. Our business plan places major emphasis on aggressively  developing new products, new markets, and product innovations to  vigorously grow revenues and reduce our seasonality.

As a percentage of revenue, selling, general, and administrative  expenses were 20.4% for the three months ended December 31, 2008  compared to 20.5% for the three months ended December 31, 2007.

 

In addition to the selling, general and administrative expenses, the Company recorded $570,000 in fraud expense for the three months ending December 31, 2008, due to the misappropriation of funds as discussed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The decrease in  commission expense was a result of the decrease in revenues during the  first quarter of fiscal 2009 in the ATV Accessories business segment.  Warranty expense increased for the three months ended December 31,  2008, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007. Other  professional fees increased for the three months ended December 31,  2008, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007, due to  additional consulting work related to the Company’s Sarbanes-Oxley Act  compliance initiatives.  The increase in lease expense was due to the  sale and subsequent leasing back of the Company’s Milford

The decrease in interest and miscellaneous income was primarily due to  a decrease in interest income of approximately $8,900.  The gain on  sale of assets decrease of approximately $200,000 for the three months  ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the three months ended December  31, 2007 was due to the Company having sold its Milford facility and  certain other assets in the prior year. Interest expense decreased as  the principal balance on the bank notes continues to decrease.  Interest expense will decrease in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 as  the principal balances continue to decrease under fixed rate notes  going forward.

 

Looking ahead to the second quarter of fiscal 2009, we project growth  in revenues as new products, new markets, and effective marketing  initiatives continue to be the focus of management and the entire  Company.  The company anticipates gross profits will be within the  range of 25% to 30% of revenue as profitability will continue to be  impacted by raw steel and other metal parts.  Management has, and  will, continue to seek out and implement production efficiencies and  cost reduction initiatives wherever possible and will pass as much of  the net input costs increases on to its customers as possible.  Remaining competitive in the markets we are in and maintaining our  strong market shares within those markets may hinder management’s  ability to pass on the full amount of our net input costs increases.  We project selling, general and administrative expenses during the  remainder of fiscal 2009 to be 20-25% of total revenue as we continue  our focus on cost reduction initiatives, launching new products and  maximizing the efficiencies the recently implemented new accounting  and manufacturing software provides us, all while maintaining a  consistent level of administrative support.

 

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

As more fully described in Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated  Financial Statements included elsewhere in this filing, the Company  operates four reportable business segments:

 

ATV Accessories, Plastic  Wheel Covers, Weekend Warrior, and Contract Manufacturing.  ATV  accessories is vertically integrated and utilizes a two-step  distribution method, we are vertically integrated in our Plastic Wheel  Cover segment and utilize both direct and two-step distribution  methods, Weekend Warrior utilizes a single-step distribution method,  and our Contract Manufacturing segment deals directly with other OE  manufacturers and businesses in various industries.

The decrease in ATV Accessories revenue for the first quarter of  fiscal 2009 reflects the continued growth of our blade sales but with  some decline in sales of our parts categories compared to the prior  year. There was a minor decrease in gross profit as a percentage of  revenue, which was mainly attributable to an increase in raw material  costs.  The company experienced significant increases in the costs of  raw steel and metal purchased parts.  While the company implemented a  significant price increase of its own, the full increase was not able  to be realized within this business segment due to existing market  conditions.  To remain competitive and to maintain, or grow market  share, the company was not able to pass on the full price increase to  its distributors. Management has, and will, continue to seek out and  implement production efficiencies and cost reduction initiatives  wherever possible and will pass as much of the net input costs  increases on to its customers as possible going forward.  Remaining  competitive in the ATV Accessory market and maintaining our strong  market share within this market may hinder management’s ability to  pass on the full amount of our net input costs increases.

The decrease in revenues was attributable to a decrease in sales to  national retail customers.  The decrease in gross profit is due to  manufacturing variances generated by increased input costs and  inventory adjustments.  Management, under the direction of the new  President, has totally revamped and revised the Weekend Warrior  business model.  Looking forward, management anticipates revenue to  once again grow quarter over quarter as the revised business model is  implemented during the next few fiscal quarters.

The decrease in revenue was due to a decrease in business with current  customers.  With ample production capacity and unique fabrication and  painting capabilities, management believes that increasing the  fabrication of parts and the manufacture of products to other OE  manufacturers and businesses will provide the company with a  significant source of revenue in quarters traditionally slow for our  main ATV Accessories business segment. Gross margin decreased as a  percentage of revenue as significant increases in the costs of raw  steel impacted the cost of materials for the quarter ended December  31, 2008.  Management chose to honor the prices quoted to its  customers in the early part of the fiscal quarter and then moved to  repricing parts as raw steel costs failed to plateau or fall.  Adjusting pricing to pass on the steel cost increases will take time  as management’s long standing procedures provide for repricing parts  to customers on 90 day cycles.  During the second quarter, much of the  repricing should occur to allow the company to improve the gross  margins for this business segment.  However, just as is the case for  the ATV Accessories business segment, market conditions for the  Contract Manufacturing segment may not allow the company to pass on  the full input costs increases to its customers as maintaining market  share and remaining competitive within the geographic region the  company competes for work in is key to the long term success of this  business segment.

For the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company experienced  decreased revenue in both the U.S. markets, as well as  internationally.  The decrease in revenue in the U.S. was discussed  above, and the decrease in other countries was due to a  decrease of sales in Europe.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

Cash flows provided by operating activities of continuing operations,  built-up cash balances, and borrowings under our bank line of credit provided us with a significant source of liquidity during the first three months of Fiscal 2009.

 

Cash and cash equivalents were $206,510 as of December 31, 2008, compared to $194,576 as of September 30, 2008.  Until required for operations, our policy is to invest any excess cash reserves in bank deposits, money market funds, and certificates of deposit after first repaying any built up balance on our bank line of credit.

 

In the three months ended December 31, 2008, we made approximately $59,000 in capital expenditures, received approximately $7,000 from  the sale of capital equipment, and paid approximately $196,000 of  long-term debt principal.  By the end of fiscal 2009 management expects total capital expenditures to approximate $200,000.

 

Working Capital

 

Net working capital was $5,677,507 at December 31, 2008, compared to $5,531,102 at September 30, 2008.  The decrease in working capital was primarily due to the net change in sales and gross margins.

On May 13, 2008, the Company and its commercial lender modified  the original secured credit agreement dated August 21, 2001.  Under  the terms of the modification agreement to the secured credit  agreement, Note One and Note Two were modified to change their fixed  interest rates from 7.375% per annum to 6.125% per annum.  Under the  terms of the new amendment to the secured credit agreement, Note One  and Note Two were amended.  The Notes, going forward, are payable in  monthly installments from May 2008 until April 2018, for Note One  and until April 2011, for Note Two, which include principal and  interest (6.125% as of December 31, 2008, and 7.375% as of December  31, 2007) for Note One and principal and interest (6.125% as of  December 31, 2008, and 7.375% as of December 31, 2007) for Note Two,  with a final payment upon maturity on April 25, 2017, for Note One and  April 25, 2011 for Note Two.  The interest rate is fixed for Note Two  and is fixed for Note One until April 2011, after which the interest  rate will be reset to prime + 0.50% every 60 months.  However, the  interest rate for Note One can never exceed 10.5% or be lower than  5.5%.  The monthly payment is $33,449 and $42,049 for Note One and  Note Two, respectively.  At December 31, 2008 and 2007, $2,833,679 and  $3,050,952, respectively, were outstanding for Note One and $1,089,800  and $1,517,447, respectively, were outstanding for Note Two.  Additionally, any proceeds from the sale of stock received from the  exercise of warrants are to be applied to any outstanding balance on  the Notes or the Line of Credit described below.

 

On May 13, 2008, the Company and its commercial lender entered  into a note payable agreement.  Under the terms of the Note, the Note  is payable in monthly installments from May 2008 until April 2013, which includes principal and interest (6.125% as of December 31, 2008), with a final payment upon maturity on April 25, 2013.  The  interest rate is fixed for the term of the Note.  The monthly payment  is $14,567.  At December 31, 2008, $662,761 was outstanding.  The Note  is collateralized by the company’s new 4000 watt laser cutting system  asset.

Line of Credit

 

On April 28, 2006, the Company and its commercial lender  amended the original secured credit agreement dated August 21, 2001.  Under the terms of the amended secured credit agreement, the Company  has a Line of Credit for the lesser of $1,000,000 or 80% of eligible  accounts receivable and 35% of eligible inventory.  The Line of Credit  bears interest at prime plus 0.50% (5.5% at December 31, 2008) and is collateralized by all of the Company’s assets.  The variable interest  rate can never exceed 10.5% or be lower than 5.5%.  The Line of Credit  matured on December 31, 2008.  At December 31, 2008, $750,000 was  outstanding on the Line of Credit and there was no balance outstanding  on the Line of Credit as of December 31, 2007. The line was extended  by agreement between the Company and the bank for a period of 60 days,  which was subsequently extended to June 1, 2009.

 

The secured credit agreement contains conditions and covenants  that prevent or restrict the Company from engaging in certain  transactions without the consent of the commercial lender and require  the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, including term debt  coverage and maximum leverage.  In addition, the Company is required  to maintain a minimum working capital and shall not declare or pay any  dividends or any other distributions.

 

Warrants

 

The Company has 40,000 previously issued warrants outstanding  to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock per warrant at $4.00 per share which do not expire until June 9, 2010.  For the three months ended December 31, 2008, none of the 40,000 warrants were exercised.  The proceeds, if exercised, are to be applied to the outstanding balance on the Notes.

 

Capital Resources

 

Consistent with normal practice, management believes that the Company’s operations are not expected to require significant capital expenditures during fiscal year 2009.  Management believes that  existing cash balances, cash flow to be generated from operating activities and available borrowing capacity under its line of credit agreement will be sufficient to fund normal operations and capital expenditure requirements, non-inclusive of any major capital  investment that may be considered, for at least the next six months.  At this time management is not aware of any factors that would have a  materially adverse impact on cash flow during this period.

 

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

 

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Reform  Act”) provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by or  on behalf of the Company.  The Company and its representatives may, from time to time, make written or verbal forward-looking statements, including statements contained in the Company’s filings with the  Securities and Exchange Commission and in its reports to stockholders.  Generally, the inclusion of the words “believe”, “expect”, “intend”,  “estimate”, “anticipate”, “will”, and similar expressions identify  statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the  meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E  of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and that are intended to come  within the safe harbor protection provided by those sections.

 

All statements addressing operating performance, events, or  developments that the Company expects or anticipates will occur in the future, including statements relating to sales growth, earnings or  earnings per share growth, and market share, as well as statements  expressing optimism or pessimism about future operating results (in  particular, statements under Part I, Item 2, Management’s Discussion  and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations), contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Reform Act.  The forward-looking statements are and will be based upon  management’s then-current views and assumptions regarding future events and operating performance, and are applicable only as of the  dates of such statements but there can be no assurance that the  statement of expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished.  In addition, the Company undertakes no obligation to  update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

 

By their nature, all forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainties.  Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements for a number of reasons, including but not limited: competitive price pressures at  both the wholesale and retail levels, changes in market demand, changing interest rates, adverse weather conditions that reduce sales  at distributors, the risk of assembly and manufacturing plant shutdowns due to storms or other factors, the impact of marketing and cost-management programs, and general economic, financial and business conditions.
