Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
 

 
Note 1.
Nature of Business, Subsequent Event and Significant Accounting Policies
 
Nature of business and Subsequent Event:

Middlebury Hardwood Products, Inc. (“MHP”) manufactures wood products, primarily cabinet doors, for the recreational vehicle industry mainly located in northern Indiana, generally under terms of 30 days.

I.P.I.C., Inc. (“IPIC”) owns and leases commercial property to MHP.  IPIC is related to MHP through common ownership of one of the stockholders.

On October 26, 2012, MHP and IPIC sold substantially all of their assets to an unrelated party.

Significant accounting policies:

Use of estimates:

The preparation of consolidated 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 as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reporting entity principles of consolidation:

The financial statements include the accounts of MHP and IPIC, a variable interest entity (VIE) for which MHP is the primary beneficiary.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  MHP and IPIC are collectively referred to as the “Company”.

IPIC is a VIE of MHP because of a leasing arrangement and because it requires financial support consisting of long-term debt guarantees.  The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the enterprise that has both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive residual returns that potentially could be significant to the VIE.  See Note 13 for additional information regarding MHP’s consolidated VIE.

Noncontrolling interest:

Noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in the affiliate not attributable, directly or indirectly, to MHP.  The profit or loss derived from the performance of the affiliate is allocated to the net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest in the consolidated statements of income.

Cash:

The Company maintains cash with one financial institution in amounts which, at times, may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits.

Trade receivables:

Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis.  Trade receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2011 are stated net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of approximately $20,000.  Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
 

 
Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible.  Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.  A trade receivable is considered past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding past stated terms.

Inventories:

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Long-lived assets:

The Company reviews its long-lived assets periodically to determine potential impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets with the estimated future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets, including cash flows from disposition.  Should the sum of the expected future net cash flows be less than the carrying value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss at that date.  An impairment loss would be measured by comparing the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets.  There was no impairment of long-lived assets for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Property and equipment:

Depreciation of property and equipment is computed principally by the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
 
   
Years
 
       
Land improvements
    15-30  
Buildings and improvements
    7-39  
Machinery and equipment
    3-20  
Transportation equipment
    3-5  
Furniture and fixtures
    3-7  
 
Revenue recognition:

Revenue is primarily recognized upon shipment under terms F.O.B. shipping point upon which title passes to the customer and, at which time, collectability is reasonably assured.

Risks and uncertainties:

The Company’s sales are highly concentrated in the recreational vehicle industry.  This industry has experienced demand fluctuations in recent years due to tightening of the wholesale and retail credit markets and low consumer confidence.

Delivery expense:

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the expense associated with the cost of delivery is approximately $438,000 and is reflected in selling and delivery expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
 

 
Delayed adoption of accounting standard:

The FASB issued ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (ASC 480).  ASC 480 requires that certain freestanding financial instruments be reported as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.  Depending on the type of financial instrument, it will be accounted for at either fair value or the present value of future cash flows determined at each consolidated balance sheet date with the change in that value reported as interest expense in the consolidated income statement.  Prior to the application of ASC 480, either those financial instruments were not required to be recognized, or if recognized were reported in the consolidated balance sheet as equity and changes in the value of those instruments were normally not recognized in net income.

As explained further in Note 11, MHP has stock repurchase agreements with redeemable common stock that will be reported as a liability when ASC 480 is applied.  The fair value of the redeemable stock will be transferred from stockholders' equity to liabilities at the date ASC 480 is applied and will have the effect of reducing stockholders' equity and increasing liabilities by approximately $2,070,000.  The effective date for required application of ASC 480 has been deferred indefinitely for instruments that are mandatorily redeemable such as the stock repurchase agreements in Note 11.

Subsequent events:

The Company has evaluated subsequent events for potential recognition and/or disclosure through January 7, 2013 the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Note 5.
Note Payable, Stockholder
 
MHP has a note payable with a stockholder as a result of shares of common stock repurchased with an outstanding balance of $1,313,500 at December 31, 2011.  The note is subordinated to the bank, is unsecured, pays interest at 1% above the Company’s interest rate on its line of credit, and is due December 31, 2015.  The Company intends to make quarterly principal payments of approximately $75,000.  This note payable has been classified on the balance sheet assuming such payments will be made.

Income Taxes
 
Both MHP and IPIC, with the consent of their stockholders, have elected to have their income taxed under Section 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code and a similar section of the state tax laws which provide that, in lieu of corporation income taxes, the stockholders account for their proportionate shares of the Company's items of income, deduction, losses, and credits.  Therefore, these consolidated statements do not include any provision for corporation income taxes.  The Company intends to make distributions in amounts sufficient to reimburse each stockholder for personal income taxes attributable to the Company's net taxable income.

Management has evaluated the Company’s tax positions and concluded that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the consolidated financial statement to comply with the provisions of ASC 740-10.  With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for the years before 2008.

Note 13.
Variable Interest Entity
 
MHP is the primary beneficiary of and consolidates a related party (IPIC) that is a VIE.  MHP would absorb more than a significant amount of the VIE’s expected losses based on leasing and guarantee agreements as discussed in Note 1.  Through the lease agreement, MHP controls the significant activities of the VIE.  No additional support beyond what was previously agreed to has been provided during any periods presented.

For no consideration, MHP has agreed to guarantee the long-term debt of the VIE.  MHP’s maximum exposure under this guarantee was approximately $784,000 as of December 31, 2011.  The details of these debt instruments are included in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statement.  MHP can be required to perform on its guarantee in the event of nonpayment of these arrangements by the VIE.  In the event MHP would be required to pay the entire guaranteed amount, the value of the assets pledged on the bank debt would be available to liquidate and recover some or all of the amounts paid.  However, any decision to liquidate the collateral would be made after an evaluation of the circumstances at the time and the amount of any recovery available to MHP is not currently estimable.

Under the terms of the lease agreements with the VIE, MHP is required to make monthly payments of $22,000 to the VIE under a month-to-month agreement.  In addition, the Company is required to pay for property taxes, insurance and maintenance on the related property.

The following table shows the significance of the VIE for the year ended December 31, 2011:

Gross rentals
  $ 264,000  
Net income
    156,263  
Cash
    99,663  
Real property
    876,680  
Long-term debt
    783,970  
Stockholders' equity
    192,373  
 
The assets that are collateral for the debt on the VIE are all assets disclosed above.  The creditor of the VIE does not have recourse to the general credit of MHP.
