Use of estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 and assumptions.

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by approximately $480,000, or 3.1%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The Company had lower sales of core marine products partially offset by strong sales of winterizing products.
Cost of goods sold increased by approximately $1,443,000, or 17.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Cost of sales increased at a higher rate than net sales primarily because of cost increases in both petroleum-based and other raw materials in addition to transportation cost increases from imports and domestic shipment freight cost to customers.
Gross profit decreased by approximately $1,923,000, or 26.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. Gross profit primarily decreased due to the Company’s cost of goods sold described above. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was approximately 35.2% and 46.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Advertising and promotion expenses increased by approximately $368,000, or 29.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in advertising and promotion expenses was principally a result of increased marketing programs, internet advertising and television advertising. As a percentage of net sales, advertising and promotion expenses increased to 10.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from 8.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Selling and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1,403,000 or 53.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in selling and administrative expenses was primarily a result of two factors. The Company incurred legal and other professional costs associated with the pending merger with OneWater Marine, Inc. In addition, the Company incurred higher employee compensation expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 26.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, from 16.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
18
Interest (expense), net for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by approximately $38,000 or 93.8%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021. The increase principally resulted from interest expense related to our term loan for the expansion at Kinpak.
Benefit from income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $87,000, or 21.3% of our income before income taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2021 the provision for income taxes was approximately $723,000, or 21.8% of our income before income taxes.

Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by approximately $874,000, or 3.0%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in net sales was principally a result of several customers adjusting their inventory levels of Star brite® branded marine products, private label marine and RV products.
Cost of goods sold increased by approximately $1,693,000, or 10.5%, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in cost of goods sold was a result primarily of higher cost of petroleum based raw materials, imported material shipping costs of containers along with higher domestic transportation costs in addition to higher cost of manufacturing operating costs.
Gross profit decreased by approximately $2,568,000, or 20.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Gross profit decreased due to lower sales volume and higher cost of sales as described above. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit was approximately 36.1% and 43.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Advertising and promotion expenses increased by approximately $498,000, or 22.6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in advertising and promotion expenses was principally a result of increased TV advertising in addition to several marketing programs targeting consumer brand awareness to our branded products. As a percentage of net sales, advertising and promotion expenses increased to 9.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from 7.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Selling and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1,431,000, or 31.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase in selling and administrative expenses was primarily a result of our pending merger with One Water Marine. In additional the Company incurred higher employee compensation expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses increased to 21.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, from 16.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Interest (expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by approximately $33,000 or 42.0%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The increase principally resulted from interest expense related to our term loan for the expansion at Kinpak.
Provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $246,289, or 20.1% of our income before taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 the provision was approximately $1,248,000, or 21.7% of our income before taxes.

Liquidity and capital resources:
Our cash balance was approximately $7,018,000 at June 30, 2022 and approximately $12,685,000 at December 31, 2021.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:
Six Months Ended June 30, | ||||||||
2022 | 2021 | |||||||
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities | $ | (5,228,933 | ) | $ | 483,201 | |||
Net cash used in investing activities | (2,664,078 | ) | (2,922,273 | ) | ||||

Net decrease in cash and restricted cash | $ | (5,666,884 | ) | $ | (3,296,775 | ) |
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $5,229,000, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $483,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net income decreased by approximately $3,528,000, noncash adjustments to net income increased by approximately $193,000, and changes in working capital used approximately $2,378,000 more in cash, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Net trade accounts receivable at June 30, 2022 aggregated approximately $11,580,000, an increase of approximately $2,036,000, or 21.3%, as compared to approximately $9,544,000 in net trade accounts receivable outstanding at December 31, 2021. The increase was principally a result of our net sales during the second quarter of 2022. Receivables due from affiliated companies aggregated approximately $1,494,000 at June 30, 2022, an increase of approximately $282,000, or 23.3%, from receivables due from affiliated companies of approximately $1,212,000 at December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily a result of our net sales to the affiliated companies in the second quarter of 2022.
Inventories, net were approximately $23,584,000 and $16,819,000 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, representing an increase of approximately $6,765,000, or 40.2%, during the six months ended June 30, 2022. We believe the higher levels of inventories were necessary in order to reduce potential supply chain problems and material price increases.
Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by approximately $258,000, or 8.8%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in cash used was principally due to the winding down of our expansion of our manufacturing, warehouse and distribution facilities at Kinpak.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $2,226,000, as compared to net cash used in financing activities of approximately $859,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The principal reason for the change is that during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had approximately $3,460,000 in borrowings under our revolving line of credit, as compared to no borrowing during the first six months of 2021. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company paid dividends to common shareholders aggregating approximately $761,000 and made payments on long term debt of approximately $467,000, as compared to dividends paid to common shareholders aggregating approximately $569,000 and payments on long term debt of approximately $291,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
See Notes 6 and 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for information concerning our principal credit facilities, consisting of Kinpak’s obligations relating to a term loan, the payment of which we have guaranteed, an industrial development bond financing, the payment of which we have guaranteed, and a revolving line of credit. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had outstanding balances of approximately $4,756,000 and $4,888,000, respectively, under Kinpak’s obligation relating to the term loan, $3,106,000 and $3,334,000, respectively, under Kinpak’s obligations relating to the industrial development bond financing, and approximately $3,460,000 and $0, respectively, in borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
20
The loan agreement pertaining to our revolving credit facility, as amended, has a stated term that expires on August 30, 2024, although as was the case with earlier revolving lines of credit provided to us in recent years, amounts outstanding are payable on demand. Nevertheless, the loan agreement pertaining to our revolving line of credit contains various covenants, including financial covenants that are described in Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. At June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with these financial covenants. The revolving credit facility is subject to several events of default, including a decline of the majority shareholder’s ownership below 50% of our outstanding shares.
Our guarantee of Kinpak’s obligations related to the industrial development bond financing are subject to various covenants, including financial covenants that are described in Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report. At June 30, 2022, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.
In connection with our acquisition of assets of Snappy Marine, we issued a promissory note in the amount of $1,000,000, including interest (of the $1,000,000 amount of the promissory note, $930,528 was recorded as principal, and the remaining $69,472, representing an imputed interest rate of 2.87% per annum, is being recorded as interest expense over the term of the note). At June 30, 2022, we had an outstanding balance of $216,667 under the promissory note (including $213,082 recorded as principal and $3,585 to be recorded as interest expense over the remaining term of the note).
We also obtained financing through leases for office equipment, totaling approximately $68,000 and $79,000 at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.
Some of our assets and liabilities are denominated in Canadian dollars and are subject to currency exchange rate fluctuations. We do not engage in currency hedging and address currency risk as a pricing issue. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded $8 in foreign currency translation adjustments (increasing shareholders’ equity by $8).
During the past few years, we have introduced a number of new products. At times, new product introductions have required us to increase our overall inventory and have resulted in lower inventory turnover rates. The effects of reduced inventory turnover have not been material to our overall operations. We believe that all required capital to maintain such increases will continue to be provided by operations and our current revolving line of credit or a renewal or replacement of the facility.
Many of the raw materials that we use in the manufacturing process are petroleum or chemical based and commodity chemicals that are subject to fluctuating prices. The nature of our business does not enable us to pass through the price increases to our national retailer customers and to our distributors as promptly as we experience increases in raw material costs. This may, at times, adversely affect our margins.
We believe that funds provided through operations and our revolving line of credit will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements over at least the next twelve months.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow, and stock price of the Company can be affected by a number of factors, whether currently known or unknown, including but not limited to those described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 under the heading “Risk Factors,” any one or more of which could, directly or indirectly, cause the Company’s actual financial condition, operating results and cash flow to vary materially from past, or from anticipated future, financial condition operating results and cash flow. In addition, the following supplements the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021:
Failure to complete the Merger could negatively impact the market price of our common stock.
If the Merger is not completed for any reason, we will be subject to a number of material risks, including the following:
● | the market price of our common stock may decline; | |
● | costs relating to the Merger, such as legal, accounting and financial advisory fees, and, in specified circumstances, termination fees, must be paid by us, even if the Merger is not completed; and | |
● | the diversion of management’s attention from our day-to-day business, the potential disruption to our employees and our relationships with customers, suppliers and distributors and potential diversion from certain aspects of its previously announced product development program may make it difficult for us to regain our financial and market positions if the Merger is not completed. |
Further, if the Merger is terminated and our Board of Directors seeks another merger or business combination, shareholders cannot be certain that we will be able to find a party willing to pay an equivalent or better price than the price to be paid in the proposed merger.
