PART I

 

Item 1 DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Chase General Corporation was incorporated November 6, 1944 for the purpose of manufacturing confectionery products. In 1970 Chase General Corporation acquired a 100% interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dye Candy Company. (Chase General Corporation and Dye Candy Company are sometimes referred herein as “the Company”). This subsidiary is the main operating company for the reporting entity.

PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES AND METHODS OF DISTRIBUTION

The subsidiary, Dye Candy Company, operates two divisions, Chase Candy Products and Seasonal Candy Products. Chase Candy Products involve production and sale of a candy bar marketed under the trade name “Cherry Mash”. The Seasonal Candy Products involve production and sale of coconut, peanut, chocolate, and fudge confectioneries. Division products are sold to the same type of customers in the same geographical areas. In addition, both divisions share a common labor force and utilize the same basic equipment and raw materials. Therefore, segment reporting for the two divisions is not maintained by Management and, accordingly, is not available for inclusion in this filing.

The principal products produced are as follows:

Chase Candy Division of Dye Candy Company produces a candy bar under the trade name of “Cherry Mash”. The bar is distributed in six case sizes:

 

  (1) 60 count pack
  (2) 12 boxes of 24 bars per box
  (3) 200 count shipper box
  (4) 100 count shipper box
  (5) 100 # 2 box Counter Display
  (6) 4 box - 36 count Counter Display

In addition to the regular size bar, a “mini-mash” is distributed in seven case sizes:

 

  (1) 24 - 12 oz. bags
  (2) 6 jars - 60 bars per jar
  (3) 23 # wrapped bars
  (4) 22 # unwrapped bars
  (5) 12 - 12 oz. bags
  (6) 6 - 4 # jars
  (7) 18 - 24 oz. tins

Table of Contents

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

 

Seasonal Candy Division of Dye Candy Company produces coconut, peanut, chocolate, and fudge confectioneries. These products are distributed in bulk or packaged. Principal products include:

 

(1)    Coconut Bon-Bons

  

(6)    Peanut Brittle

(2)    Coconut Stacks

  

(7)    Peanut Clusters

(3)    Home Style Poe Fudge

  

(8)    Champion Crème Drops

(4)    Peco Flake

  

(9)    Jelly Candies

(5)    Peanut Squares

  

The Creme Drops and Jelly Candies are not produced by the Company, but repackaged for wholesale distribution.

All products are trucked to the customers by commercial haulers.

COMPETITION AND MARKETS

The Chase Candy Division bars are sold primarily to wholesale candy and tobacco jobbing houses, grocery accounts, vendors and repackers. “Cherry Mash” bars are marketed in the Midwest region of the United States. For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, this division accounted for 55% and 60%, respectively, of the consolidated revenue of Dye Candy Company.

The Seasonal Candy Division is sold primarily on a Midwest regional basis to national syndicate accounts, repackers, and grocery accounts. For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the division accounted for 45% and 40%, respectively, of the consolidated revenue of Dye Candy Company.

The Company has no government contracts, foreign operations or export sales. In addition, all domestic sales are primarily in the Midwest region of the United States.

The Company is a seasonal business whereby the largest volume of sales occur in the spring and fall of each year. The net income per quarter of the Company varies in direct proportion to the seasonal sales volume.

Due to the seasonal nature of the business, there is a heavier demand on working capital in the summer and winter months of the year when the Company is building its inventories in anticipation of fall and spring sales. The fluctuation of demand on working capital due to the seasonal nature of the business is common to the confectionery industry. If necessary, the Company has the ability to borrow short-term funds in early fall to finance operations prior to receiving cash collections from fall sales. The Company occasionally offers extended payment terms of up to sixty days. Since this practice is infrequent, the effect on working capital is minimal.

COMPETITION AND MARKETS (CONTINUED)

 

Prompt, efficient service are traits demanded in the confectionery industry, which results in a continual low volume of back-orders. Therefore, at no time during the year does the Company have a significant amount of back-orders.

The confectionery market for the type of product produced by the divisions of Dye Candy Company is very competitive and quality minded. The confectionery (candy) industry in which the divisions operate is highly competitive with many small companies and, within certain specialized areas, a few competitors dominate. In the United States, the dominant competitors in the coconut candy industry are Crown Candy Company, Vermico Candy Company, and the Seasonal Candy Division of Dye Candy Company with approximately 70% of the market share among them. In the United States, Sophie Mae and Old Dominion have approximately 80% of the market share of the peanut candy business in which the Seasonal Candy Division operates. Dye Candy Company sells approximately 95% of its products in the Midwest region with seasonal orders being shipped to the Southern and Eastern regions of the United States. Except for the coconut candy industry, Dye Candy Company is not a dominant competitor in any of the candy industries in which it competes. Dye Candy Company’s market share in the coconut industry does not vary significantly from year to year.

Principal methods of competition the Company uses include quality of product, price, reduced transportation costs due to central location, and service. The Company’s competitive position is positively influenced by labor costs being lower than industry average. Chase General Corporation is firmly established in the confectionery market and through its operating divisions has many years’ experience associated with its name.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

During the 2006 fiscal year, the Company developed vanilla and chocolate mini mash products which were marketed during the busy season starting September 1, 2006. The vanilla mini mash product was discontinued during current fiscal year due to poor sales. Currently, the Company anticipates no new products for distribution.

RAW MATERIALS AND PRINCIPAL SUPPLIERS

Raw materials and packaging materials are produced on a national basis with products coming from most of the states of the United States. Raw materials and packaging materials are generally widely available, depending of course, on common market influences.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

The largest single revenue producing product, the “Cherry Mash” bar, is protected by a trademark registered with the United States Government Patents Office. Management considers this trademark very important to the Company. This trademark expires in the year 2013. Management and its legal representatives do not expect any impediment to renewing this trademark prior to its expiration.

During the year ended June 30, 2008, sales, net of returns and allowances, increased 15.87% as compared to the year ended June 30, 2007. Gross sales for Chase Candy products increased $112,417 or 7.93% to $1,530,457 for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to $1,418,040 for 2007.

The 15.87% increase in net sales of $368,229 for the year ended June 30, 2008, over the same period ended June 30, 2007 included a customer who purchased $151,658 more this year that accounted for 26% of total Chase Candy product sales, where as, in the prior year this same customer accounted for 24% of the Chase Candy product sales. This year the customer increased its orders of the 12 count packaging. In addition, Seasonal Candy increase of 28.63% included $158,000 of purchases from two new customers for the produce pack.

Table of Contents

COST OF SALES (CONTINUED)

 

The dollar increase in cost of sales for the year ended June 30, 2008 was the result of a 74% or $10,344 for freight-in costs of $24,242 as compared to $13,898 for year ended June 30, 2007 and 14% or $46,305 in labor costs including wages, vacation pay and payroll taxes of $373,336 for year ending June 30, 2008 as compared to $327,031 for year ending 2007. The increase in labor costs was primarily related to a 4% raise for the production labor force along with bonuses given in the current fiscal year which were not awarded in 2007.

In addition, raw material costs of $1,014,766 increased 17% or $150,169 for year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $864,597 for year ending 2007. This increase is a direct result of material price increases for sugar - 4 cents per pound and peanuts 8 cents per pound.

GROSS PROFIT

The gross margin increased 38% or $177,144 to $641,309 increasing to 23.85% of related revenues for the year ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $464,165 or 20% of related revenues for the year ended June 30, 2007, as a result of the overall increase in net sales above the net increase in cost of sales.

Finished goods inventory as of June 30, 2008 of $72,651 increased $4,572 or 6.72% of the June 30, 2007 finished goods inventory of $68,079. The increase reflects the Company having a slight build up of inventory to meet delivery deadlines. Raw material inventory of $56,346 and packaging materials inventory of $170,276 is 58.77% higher than the June 30, 2007 inventories of $23,396 and $119,341, respectively, as a result of purchasing inventory at competive prices for the forthcoming busy season that starts September 1, 2008.

SELLING EXPENSES

Selling expenses for the year ended June 30, 2008 increased $47,227 to $325,391, which is 12.10% of sales, compared to $278,164 or 11.99% of sales for the year June 30, 2007. This increase of $47,227 is primary due to higher commissions being paid as a result of increased sales along with sample costs for this period. Commissions and sample costs increased 41.46% to $131,884 for year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $93,230 for year ending 2007.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses for the year ended June 30, 2008 decreased $63,615 to $294,371, and decreased to 10.95% of sales, compared to $357,986 or 15.42% of sales for the year ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in costs is due to decreased professional fees of $80,076 in connection with legal proceedings settled in the prior fiscal year.

INCOME (LOSS) FROM OPERATIONS

Income (loss) from operations for the year ended June 30, 2008 was .80% of net sales as compared to (7.41)% of net sales for the year ended June 30, 2007 for the reasons described above.

Table of Contents

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE), NET

Other income and (expense) increased by $2,677 for the year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2007. This was primarily due to an increase in interest expense of $2,638.

INCOME (LOSS) BEFORE INCOME TAXES

Income (loss) before income taxes was $17,438 for the year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $(173,417) for the year ended June 30, 2007.

The reasons for the decrease are discussed above.

INCOME TAXES BENEFIT

The Company recorded a tax (benefit) for the year ended June 30, 2008 of $(5,164) as compared to a tax (benefit) of $(18,652) for the year ended June 30, 2007. The (benefit) recorded for the 2008 and 2007 year is primarily due to recognizing deferred taxes related to the carryover of operating losses. The Company had incurred losses for the previous two years, which was not available to carryback and obtain previously paid income taxes. This loss carryforward can be partially utilized against taxable income for the year ended June 30, 2008. Based on available objective evidence, management estimates it is more likely than not, that the net deferred tax asset for the remaining loss carryforward will be fully realizable in the next two fiscal years, so no valuation allowance has been reported.

NET INCOME (LOSS)

Net income for the year ended June 30, 2008 was $22,602 which is an increase of $177,367 as compared to the loss for year ended June 30, 2007 of $(154,765). The reasons for the increase are discussed above.

PREFERRED DIVIDENDS

Preferred dividends were $128,072 for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

NET (LOSS) APPLICABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

Net (loss) applicable to common stockholders was $(105,470) for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to $(282,837) for the year ended June 30, 2007 for the reasons discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

Negative cash flows from operating activities were generated for fiscal year ended 2008 in the amount of $(131,229), compared to negative cash flows from operating activities generated for fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 in the amount of $(58,326).

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL (CONTINUED)

The Company continually monitors raw material pricing, and when a price increase or decrease is anticipated, adjustments to inventory levels are made accordingly. Raw materials inventory increased $32,950 from June 30, 2007 to June 30, 2008. The current year increase can be attributed to the efforts of the Company watching markets for these commodities, and making purchases at more favorable prices prior to the start of busy season.

Packaging materials are purchased in large volumes and carried for several years due to the high cost from suppliers to cut dies and print materials. Therefore, when supplier pricing remains consistent over the years and is not predicted to increase, the Company utilizes its present inventory supply without making additional purchases necessary to lock in pricing. Packaging materials inventory increased $50,935 at June 30, 2008 from June 30, 2007. The increase is due to the timing of several orders of Millprint which were received prior to year end. A six to eight week lead time is needed to obtain materials in time to use in production. Normally, the shipment is received after year end and before the start of busy season September 1.

Finished goods inventory increased $4,572 from June 30, 2007 to June 30, 2008. This increase was due to slightly higher customer orders at the end of fiscal year June 30, 2008 than at end of fiscal year June 30, 2007. Goods in process remained comparable to prior years.

The Company continues to write off equipment that is no longer useful to the operations of the Company. Purchases of $44,194 and $-0- were made during the year ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Depending on results of operations and cash flows, the Company is hoping to replace their antiquated brittle cookers and a mini mash wrapper machine in the next several years with no set target date. The anticipated cost of the equipment is approximately $76,000. Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $(8,173) and $9,000 for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company did borrow $300,000 and $230,000, respectively, on a line-of-credit during the fall of 2007 and 2006 busy season which has a remaining balance due of $50,000 as of the year ended June 30, 2008. The 2006 busy season loan was paid in full November 2006. The Company borrowed $190,000 and $75,000, respectively, from a shareholder during fiscal year 2008 and 2007 of which $95,000 and $30,000, respectively, was paid in full for years ended 2008 and 2007. Net cash provided by financing activities was $141,998 and $45,000 for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

The Company financed a purchase of a vehicle for $36,021 for year ended June 30, 2008.

Overall cash and cash equivalents increased $2,596 to $24,828 at June 30, 2008 from $22,232 at June 30, 2007.

To date, there are no material commitments by the Company for capital expenditures. At June 30, 2008, the Company’s accumulated deficit was $5,972,255, compared to accumulated deficit of $5,994,857 as of June 30, 2007. Working capital as of June 30, 2008 increased 31.62% to $244,159 from $185,508 as of June 30, 2007.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL (CONTINUED)

 

The Company’s lease on its office and plant facility is effective through March 31, 2025 with an option to extend for an additional time of five years, and requires payments of $6,500 per month. The facility is owned by a director and his spouse.

In order to maintain funds to finance operations and meet debt obligations, it is the intention of management to continue its efforts to expand the present market area and increase sales to its customers. Management also intends to continue tight control on all expenditures.

There has been no material impact from inflation and changing prices on net sales and revenues or on income from continuing operations for the last three fiscal years.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

GENERAL

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience 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 values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenues as product is shipped to the customers. Net sales are comprised of the total sales billed during the period less the estimated returns, customer allowances, and customer discounts.

RECEIVABLES

Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations which generally require payment within thirty days from the invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the invoice amount as no interest is charged to the customer for any past due amounts. 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.

 

13


Table of Contents

RECEIVABLES (CONTINUED)

 

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 collectibility of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness 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 are carried at the “lower of cost or market value,” with cost being determined on the “first-in, first-out” basis of accounting. Finished goods and goods in process include a provision for manufacturing overhead.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amounts of such assets to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. The Company adopted FIN 48 as of July 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Company’s financial statements, which resulted in no change on retained earnings as of July 1, 2007 and for the year ended June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, no provisions for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions have been recorded.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. This statement clarifies that market participant assumptions include assumptions about risk. A fair value measurement should include an adjustment for risk if market participants would include one in pricing the related asset or liability, even if the adjustment is difficult to determine. This statement also clarifies that market participant assumptions should also include assumptions about the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. This statement clarifies that fair value measurement for a liability should reflect nonperformance risk (the risk that the obligation will not be fulfilled). This statement expands disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. The disclosures focus on the inputs used to measure fair value and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs and the effect of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for the period. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159. The Fair Value Option of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 provides an option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities using fair value. The standard establishes required presentation and disclosures to facilitate comparisons with companies that use different measurements for similar assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption allowed if SFAS No. 157 is also adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”) and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS 160”). These statements significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combinations an noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. These statements will require noncontrolling interests to be reclassified to equity, consolidated net income to be adjusted to include net income attributed to the noncontrolling interest, and consolidated comprehensive income to be adjusted to include the comprehensive income attributed to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 are required to be adopted simultaneously. SFAS 141 is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 14, 2008. SFAS 160 is to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially adopted except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which will be applied retrospectively for all periods. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial statements.

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF BUSINESS

Chase General Corporation (the Company) was incorporated on November 6, 1944 in the State of Missouri for the purpose of manufacturing confectionery products. The Company grants credit terms to substantially all customers, consisting of repackers, grocery accounts, and national syndicate accounts, who are primarily located in the Midwest region of the United States.

Significant accounting policies are as follows:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Dye Candy Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

SEGMENT REPORTING OF THE BUSINESS

The subsidiary, Dye Candy Company, operates two divisions, Chase Candy Products and Seasonal Candy Products. Chase Candy Products involve production and sale of a candy bar marketed under the trade name “Cherry Mash”. The Seasonal Candy Products involve production and sale of coconut, peanut, chocolate, and fudge confectioneries. Division products are sold to the same type of customers in the same geographical areas. In addition, both divisions share a common labor force and utilize the same basic equipment and raw materials. Therefore, segment reporting for the two divisions is not maintained by Management and, accordingly, has not been disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of 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.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenues as product is shipped to the customers. Net sales are comprised of the total sales billed during the period including shipping and handling charges to customers, less the estimated returns, customer allowances and customer discounts.

 

26


Table of Contents

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS

Shipping and handling costs for freight expense on goods shipped is included in cost of sales. Freight expense on goods shipped for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $170,136 and $155,935, respectively.

RECEIVABLES

Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations which generally require payment within thirty days from the invoice date. Accounts receivable are stated at the invoice amount as no interest is charged to the customer for any past due amounts. 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 collectibility of specific customer accounts and the aging of the accounts receivable. If there is a deterioration of a major customer’s credit worthiness 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 are carried at the “lower of cost or market value” with cost being determined on the “first-in, first-out” basis of accounting. Finished goods and goods in process include a provision for manufacturing overhead.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. The Company’s property and equipment are being depreciated on straight-line and accelerated methods over the following estimated useful lives:

 

Buildings    39 years   
Machinery and equipment    5 - 7 years   
Trucks and autos    5 years   
Office Equipment    5 - 7 years   
Leasehold improvements    Lesser of estimated   
   useful life or the   
   lease term

CHASE GENERAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method for temporary differences between financial statement and income tax reporting. Temporary differences are differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities reported for financial statement purposes and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognized for temporary differences that will be deductible in future years’ tax returns and for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for temporary differences that will be taxable in future years’ tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the dates of enactment.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic Earnings Per Common Share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted Earnings Per Common Share shall be computed by including contingently issuable shares with the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. When inclusion of the contingently issuable shares would have an antidilutive effect upon earnings per share, no diluted earnings per share shall be presented.

The following contingently issuable shares were not included in diluted earnings per common share as they would have an antidilutive effect upon earnings per share:

 

     2008    2007

Shares issuable upon conversion of Series A

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. The Company adopted FIN 48 as of July 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Company’s financial statements, which resulted in no change on retained earnings as of July 1, 2007 and for the year ended June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2008, no provisions for accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions have been recorded.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. This statement clarifies that market participant assumptions include assumptions about risk. A fair value measurement should include an adjustment for risk if market participants would include one in pricing the related asset or liability, even if the adjustment is difficult to determine. This statement also clarifies that market participant assumptions should also include assumptions about the effect of a restriction on the sale or use of an asset. This statement clarifies that fair value measurement for a liability should reflect nonperformance risk (the risk that the obligation will not be fulfilled). This statement expands disclosures about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. The disclosures focus on the inputs used to measure fair value and for recurring fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs and the effect of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for the period. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 157 may have on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

 

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (CONTINUED)

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159. The Fair Value Option of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 provides an option to report selected financial assets and financial liabilities using fair value. The standard establishes required presentation and disclosures to facilitate comparisons with companies that use different measurements for similar assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption allowed if SFAS No. 157 is also adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS No. 159 on its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations (“SFAS 141R”) and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements (“SFAS 160”). These statements significantly change the accounting for and reporting of business combinations an noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. These statements will require noncontrolling interests to be reclassified to equity, consolidated net income to be adjusted to include net income attributed to the noncontrolling interest, and consolidated comprehensive income to be adjusted to include the comprehensive income attributed to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 are required to be adopted simultaneously. SFAS 141 is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 14, 2008. SFAS 160 is to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which it is initially adopted except for the presentation and disclosure requirements which will be applied retrospectively for all periods. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - FORGIVABLE LOAN AND DEFERRED INCOME

During 2004, the Company received a $25,000 economic development incentive from Buchanan County, which is a five year forgivable loan at a rate of $5,000 per year. The Nodaway Valley Bank has established an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit in the amount of $25,000 as collateral for this loan, with a maturity date of December 31, 2009. The Company has met the criteria of occupying a 20,000 square foot building and the criteria of creating a minimum of two new full-time equivalent jobs during the first year of operation in the new facility. In addition, the Company maintained 19 existing jobs for three years thereafter and will be required to do so until the five year term has expired. Once the Company is no longer legally entitled to return the monies, the liability will be reclassified as deferred revenue and amortized into income over the life of the lease term of the new facility. At June 30, 2008 and 2007, $15,000 and $10,000, respectively, has been reclassified to deferred revenue. Deferred revenue is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term of 20 years. During the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, deferred revenue of $1,299 was amortized into income for each fiscal year.
