ACTION PRODUCTS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of Action Products International, Inc. and its subsidiary, Action Products Canada Ltd. (collectively, the “Company”), at September 30, 2005 and the results of their (i) operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and (ii) cash flows for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. The financial information included herein is taken from the books and records of the Company and is unaudited.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004. The results of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. Through September 30, 2005, the Company has been able to meet its obligations as they come due; however, it is at least reasonably possible that if the Company incurs losses and negative cash flows, it will have to obtain additional sources of debt or equity financing to maintain its liquidity. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available or available on terms acceptable to the Company, if needed.

 

2. Line of Credit. In August 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with a financial institution, to replace an existing revolving line of credit (the “New Revolver”) at more favorable terms. The New Revolver is for up to $3 million at prime rate of interest. The “Old Revolver” was for up to $2 million at prime plus  1/2 %. The borrowings under the New Revolver are collateralized by inventory and accounts receivable. The Company utilizes the New Revolver to finance accounts receivable, inventory and other operating and capital requirements. The New Revolver matures August 30, 2006 and contains covenants relating to the financial condition of the Company. If the Company fails to maintain compliance with the financial covenants contained in the New Revolver, the maturity date could be accelerated. The Company is currently in compliance with all of the covenants.

 

3. Mortgage Payable. In November 1998, the Company borrowed $750,000 in the form of a mortgage payable. The mortgage is collateralized by real estate and improvements and contains certain restrictive covenants, which provide that, among other things, the Company maintain a minimum working capital, net worth, debt service coverage and a maximum debt to net worth ratio. If the Company fails to maintain compliance with the financial covenants contained in the note, the maturity date could be accelerated. At September 30, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and the balance outstanding is $132,000.

 

4. Earnings per Share. Common share equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for the nine month period ending September 30, 2004, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)

 

5. Common Stock and Equity Securities.

 

On March 30, 2004, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had authorized a program for repurchases of up to 150,000 shares of common stock. The repurchased shares will be held in the treasury. The Company repurchased 6,200 shares of its common stock during the third quarter of 2005.

 

In September 2005, three directors were granted a total of 30,000 options at an average price of $3.53 each under the Company’s stock option plan.

 

In January 2005, the Company made a distribution to its shareholders of one warrant for each share of common stock owned on January 7, 2005. The warrants entitled the holder to purchase one common share at an exercise price of $3.00 per share until July 8, 2005. The exercise price of these warrants increased to $3.50 per share on July 9, 2005. The warrants expire on January 6, 2006

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, changes in shareholders’ equity were as follows:

 

    The Company issued 641,400 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of warrants and received proceeds of approximately $1,690,000

 

    The Company issued 7,000 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of options for proceeds of approximately $17,000

 

    The Company issued 3,200 shares of one year restricted section 144 common stock in connection with the purchase of I-Made-That which were valued at approximately $10,000 on September 21, 2005

 

    The Company repurchased 12,200 shares of common stock for its’ treasury for approximately $35,000

 

As of September 30, 2005, the Company has one stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company accounts for the plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price not less than the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to stock-based employee compensation is shown below:

6. Other Commitments and Obligations

 

On September 23, 2005, the Company purchased the assets and business of I-Made-That, a small toy company specializing in do-it-yourself building projects for kids. The results of the acquisition are reflected in the Company’s financial statements. Although the Company thinks the acquisition will add new products to its line, the acquisition itself did not significantly impact either the assets of the Company or its sales volume for the period ended September 30, 2005.

 

On September 29, 2005 the Company entered into an operating lease for 10,000 square feet of additional warehouse space. The lease commencing October 1, 2005 is for a six month term, with monthly payments of $3,600.

 

The Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $1.7 million that expire beginning in 2017 therefore no tax provision was recorded in the three month and nine month periods of 2005, respectively.

 

At September 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $116k of inventory held on consignment.

 

7. Reclassifications. Certain amounts from the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

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

 

Forward-looking Statements:

 

Forward-looking statements in this Form 10-QSB including, without limitation, statements relating to our plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions and adequacy of resources, are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements made in this report, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements: our ability to successfully develop our brands and proprietary products through internal development, licensing and/or mergers and acquisitions. Additional factors include, but are not limited to the following: the size and growth of the market for our products, competition, pricing pressures, market acceptance of our products, the effect of economic conditions, intellectual property rights, the results of financing efforts, risks in product development, other risks identified in this report and our other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Results of Operations:

 

Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared With Three Months Ended September 30, 2004

 

The following should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere herein. The following table sets forth, as a percentage of net sales, certain items appearing in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

     Three Months Ended

Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were $2,581,800, compared with net sales of $2,392,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Management attributes the $189,800 or 7.9% increase to an increase of approximately $430,000 in sales to specialty and mass market and stores. Sales of the recently acquired Curiosity Kits products continued to improve as a result of our ongoing efforts to broaden our base of distribution; improve quality and consistency across the Curiosity Kits product line.

 

Gross profit increased by $64,700 to $1,317,100 for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared with $1,252,400 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The gross profit decreased by a percentage point to 51% for the three month periods ended September 30, 2005 from 52% for the same period in 2004. The increase in gross profit is mainly attributable to the increase in sales discussed above. The gross profit percentage decreased compared to the same period in 2004, mainly as a result of higher importation freight costs.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

 

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses increased by $48,200 to $1,233,600 for the three month period ended September 30, 2005 from $1,185,400 for the three month period ended September 30, 2004. This 4% increase in SG&A expenses is due primarily to increases in:

 

    Compensation and related benefit costs of $38,400 due principally to payroll increases and staffing additions in product development, sales, customer service and warehouse operations

 

    Doubtful accounts expense of $22,700

 

    Professional services of $22,200 due mainly to increases in legal costs from merger & acquisition and investor relations activities

 

The increase in SG&A was partially offset by decreases in:

 

    Outbound freight of $24,000 resulting from renegotiated transportation rates and enhanced load management.

 

    Commercial insurance $23,100 resulting from changing to carriers with more competitive rates.

 

Interest expense related to current and long-term debt was $6,100 and $22,600 for the three month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease of $16,500 is due to lower average borrowings under our line of credit; and prepayments made to our Ocala Distribution Center mortgage as a result of stock warrant activities.

 

Other income and (expense) during the three month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $34,100 and $8,900, respectively. The $25,200 change was mainly attributable to gains from investments.

 

Net income, as a result of the foregoing, was $111,500 and $53,300 respectively for the three months ended September 30, 2005, and the three months ended September 30, 2004. This represents an increase of 184% above the prior year.

 

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared With Nine Months Ended September 30, 2004

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

 

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $6,448,500, compared with net sales of $6,092,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Management attributes the $356,400 or 5.9% increase in net sales to increases of over $560,000 in sales to international and specialty chain stores. Sales of the recently acquired Curiosity Kits products continue to improve and reflected in gains to specialty non-toy chains.

 

Gross profit increased by $351,700 to $3,469,200 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared with $3,117,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The gross profit percentage of sales increased to 54% from 51% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 respectively. The increase in gross profit is mainly attributable to the increase in sales discussed above. The gross profit percentage increase was mainly as a result of lower product costs and lower domestic freight costs.

 

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased by $23,200 to $3,476,500 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 from $3,499,700 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2004.

 

This 1% decrease in SG&A expenses is due primarily to decreases in:

 

    Commissions of $66,000 due principally to changes in quarterly incentive bonus plans

 

    Advertising and promotion of $60,900 due primarily to decreased merchandising promotion and trade show participation

 

    Outbound freight of $42,200 resulting from renegotiated transportation rates and enhanced load management.

 

    Travel of $38,700 related principally streamlining trade show and product sourcing activities

 

    Commercial Insurance $24,200 resulting from changing to carriers with more competitive rates.

 

The decrease in SG&A was partially offset by increases in:

 

    Compensation costs of $76,400 due principally to staffing additions in marketing, sales, customer service and warehouse operations

 

    Doubtful accounts expense of $48,700

 

    Supplies and printing of $40,300 due primarily to increases in general supplies and printing costs

 

    Professional services of $36,100 mainly due to increases in legal costs from merger & acquisition, and public relations activities

 

Interest expense related to current and long-term debt was $34,900 and $76,700 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease of $41,800 is due to lower average borrowings under our line of credit; and prepayments made to the Ocala warehouse mortgage.

 

Other income and (expense) during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $62,700 and $56,300, respectively. The $6,400 change was mainly attributable to gains from investments.

 

Net income (loss), as a result of the foregoing, was $20,500 and ($388,200) respectively for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, and the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Continued)

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity, and Capital Resources

 

As of September 30, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of $284,400 representing a decrease of $437,400 since December 31, 2004.

 

After taking account of non-cash items and other adjustments, our cash requirements for operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $812,800. The principal sources of cash from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were:

 

    Accrued expenses of $439,100 due to a seasonal increase in inventory purchases.

 

    Seasonal increase in accounts payable of $269,100

 

Principal uses of cash from operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2005 were seasonal increases of:

 

    $1,261,000 in inventories

 

    $ 263,800 in accounts receivable

 

    $ 195,100 in prepaid expenses

 

The principal uses of cash from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $313,800 for the purchase of investments securities, $149,600 for additional computer and production equipment; and $23,300 for the acquisition of I-Made-That.

 

We received net proceeds of $1,707,000 from common share option and warrant exercises. After decreasing our borrowing under our line of credit by $466,600, applying $343,300 to repayment of mortgage, and $35,000 to the repurchase of treasury stock, this left net cash from financing activities of $862,100.

 

At September 30, 2005, borrowing under our line of credit was $1,102,500, a decrease of $508,900 from $1,611,400 as of September 30, 2004. Our line of credit provides for borrowings up to $3,000,000 at the prime rate and matures August 30, 2006 at which time we currently intend to extend the credit arrangement. Under the line of credit agreement, we are subject to financial covenants relating to certain asset balances and financial ratios. As of September 30, 2005 we were eligible to borrow $3,000,000 under our line of credit and were in compliance with all financial covenants.

 

ITEM 3. Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, our company conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

 

There was no change in our internal controls, which are included within disclosure controls and procedures, during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls.
