Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(NOTE 1) - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

General

The interim financial information herein is unaudited.  However, in the opinion of management, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods being reported.  Additionally, it should be noted that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not purport to contain complete disclosures required for annual financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that can be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

These condensed consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.

Marketable Securities

The Company's investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and are stated at fair value, based on quoted market prices, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of income tax, reported in other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses are included in investment income. Any decline in value judged to be other-than-temporary on available-for-sale securities are included in earnings to the extent they relate to a credit loss. A credit loss is the difference between the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security and the amortized cost basis. The amount of any impairment related to other factors will be recognized in comprehensive income. The cost of securities is based on the specific-identification method. Interest and dividends on such securities are included in investment income.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Accounts receivable are reported at their outstanding unpaid principal balances reduced by an allowance for doubtful accounts.  The Company estimates doubtful accounts based on historical bad debts, factors related to specific customers' ability to pay and current economic trends.  The Company writes off accounts receivable against the allowance when a balance is determined to be uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories, which consist of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods, are recorded at the lower of cost (average cost method and specific identification) or market. Inventories are shown net of any reserves relating to any potential slow moving or obsolete inventory.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is recorded at cost.  Depreciation and amortization of the respective assets are computed using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 10 years.  Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining term of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement, whichever is less.

Long-Lived Assets

When impairment indicators are present, the Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets in determining the ultimate recoverability of their unamortized values using future undiscounted cash flow analyses. In the event the future undiscounted cash flows of the long-lived asset are less than the carrying value, the Company will record an impairment charge for the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the long-lived asset.

Goodwill

The Company records goodwill as the excess of purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, goodwill is not amortized but instead tested for impairment on at least an annual basis. The Company, where appropriate, will utilize Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-08 which allows the Company to not perform the two-step goodwill impairment test if it determines that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount based on a qualitative assessment of the reporting unit. The Company's annual goodwill impairment test is performed in the fourth quarter each year. If the goodwill is deemed to be impaired, the difference between the carrying amount reflected in the financial statements and the estimated fair value is recognized as an expense in the period in which the impairment occurs. In determining the recoverability of goodwill, assumptions are made regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the assets.
 
Income Taxes

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 740 based on the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances have been established to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company evaluates uncertain tax positions and accounts for such items in accordance with ASC 740-10. As of March 31, 2012, the Company has no material uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to federal income taxes as a regular (Subchapter C) corporation and files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return. In addition to the federal tax return the Company files income tax returns in various state jurisdictions. The Company is subject to routine income tax audits in various jurisdictions and tax returns from December 31, 2008 remain open to examination by such taxing authorities.

Revenue and Cost Recognition

The Company recognizes a substantial portion of its revenue upon the delivery of product. The Company recognizes such revenue when title and risk of loss are transferred to the customer and when there is: i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement with the customer exists, which is generally a customer purchase order, ii) the selling price is fixed and determinable, iii) collection of the customer receivable is deemed probable, and iv) we do not have any continuing obligations. However, for certain products, revenue and costs under larger, long-term contracts are reported on the percentage-of-completion method. For projects where materials have been purchased but have not been placed into production, the costs of such materials are excluded from costs incurred for the purpose of measuring the extent of progress toward completion. The amount of earnings recognized at the financial statement date is based on an efforts-expended method, which measures the degree of completion on a contract based on the amount of labor dollars incurred compared to the total labor dollars expected to complete the contract. When an ultimate loss is indicated on a contract, the entire estimated loss is recorded in the period the loss is identified. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts represent an asset that will be liquidated in the normal course of contract completion, which at times may require more than one year. The components of cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts are the sum of the related contract's direct material, direct labor, manufacturing overhead and estimated earnings less accounts receivable billings. We had no contracts outstanding at March 31, 2012 or December 31, 2011 accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method.
 
Deferred Rent

The Company's leases have escalation clauses which are recognized on a straight line basis over the life of the lease. The amounts are recorded in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive Income (loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities, net of tax. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 during the first quarter ended March 31, 2012, which eliminated the option to present the components of other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. The Company has elected to present the components of net income, the components of other comprehensive income and total comprehensive income as a single continuous statement.
