FOX FACTORY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Business
Fox Factory, Inc. (a California S-corporation), was incorporated in 1978 under the laws of the State of California. The Company is engaged in the manufacture of shock absorbers and other parts for motorcycles, snowmobiles, bicycles, and related equipment under the name of Fox Racing Shox, which are sold throughout the world.
Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
Preparing the Company’s financial statements in conformity 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management believes that the judgments, estimates, and assumptions used in preparation of the Company’s financial statements are appropriate given the factual circumstances as of September 30, 2007.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue on sales of shock absorbers and other parts for motorcycles, snowmobiles, bicycles, and related equipment is recognized upon shipment and the collection of the resulting receivables is considered probable.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Bank Sweep Account
The Company has a sweep arrangement with its bank. Under this arrangement, available cash balances are applied against the Company’s line of credit. The resulting liability for items outstanding on the bank account are reflected as a line of credit on the Company’s balance sheets.

Note 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt instruments. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair value.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are unsecured customer obligations which generally require payment within various terms from the invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the invoice amount. Financing terms vary by customer.
Payments of accounts receivable are applied to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, to the earliest unpaid invoices.
The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of amounts that will not be collected. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on management’s assessment of the collectability of specific customer accounts, the aging of the accounts receivable, and historical experience. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s creditworthiness, or actual defaults are higher than the historical experience, management’s estimates of the recoverability of amounts due the Company could be adversely affected. All accounts or portions thereof deemed to be uncollectible or to require an excessive collection cost are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventories
Inventories include materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead valued at the lower of standard cost (which generally approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value and consist of the following at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006:

Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs consist of salaries, contract service fees, travel, materials, and supplies and are charged to expense as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be treated as an S-Corporation. Accordingly, except for a California S-Corporation tax of 1.5%, income taxes on net earnings are paid personally by the stockholder. Deferred income taxes result primarily from (1) the recognition of certain items of expense for income tax purposes in years different from those in which they are recognized in the financial statements, and (2) the availability of tax credit carryforwards for use in future years.
Depreciation
The straight-line and declining-balance methods of depreciation are used over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets as follows:
     
Shop equipment
  5 -7 years
Office equipment and furniture
  5-7 years
Transportation equipment
  5 years
Leasehold improvements
  5-7 years
Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the cost of any long-lived assets may be impaired, an evaluation of recoverability would be performed.
Advertising
Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Total costs incurred for advertising and promotion totaled $386,459 and $312,840 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $442,257 for the year ended December 31, 2006.

New Accounting Pronouncements
Fin 48
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FIN 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (the “Interpretation”). The Interpretation clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with FASB 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” by defining a criterion that an individual tax position must be met for any part of the benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007.
The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 48 on its existing tax positions. Upon adoption, the cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48, if any, shall be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.
FASB 157
On September 30, 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS No. 157). This new standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities as required by other accounting standards. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. SFAS no. 157 must be adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2008, although early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of SFAS No. 157 upon adoption; however at this time it does not believe that adoption of this standard will have a material affect on its operating results or financial position.
FASB 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115” (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the effects of SFAS No. 159 upon adoption; however at this time it does not believe that adoption of this standard will have a material affect on its operating results or financial position.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 6. INCOME TAXES (Continued)
Management has evaluated the deferred tax asset required to be recognized in order to establish a valuation allowance for the portion of the deferred asset that does not meet the more likely than not recognition criterion, since all deductible temporary differences may not be offset against taxable temporary differences and expected future taxable income. Management does not believe a valuation allowance is necessary as of September 30, 2007,
The Company has the following credits as of December 31, 2006 which can be used to offset future state income tax liabilities:
         
Research credit
  $ 105,849  
Manufacturer’s Investment Credit
    9,385  
Enterprise Zone Hire/Sales and Use Tax Credits
    254,114  
 
     
 
       
 
  $ 369,348  
 
     
The Manufacturer’s Investment Credit was originally set to expire beginning in 2008. The remaining credits do not have expiration dates. However, effective with the sale of the company discussed in Note 13, the Company changed its tax status from an S-Corporation to a C-Corporation. As a result of this change in tax status, the tax credits accumulated while the Company was an S-Corporation cannot be carried forward to the C-Corporation. Accordingly, the Company’s deferred tax asset will be reduced by approximately $425,000 upon the conversion to a C-Corporation.
