NEW ERA BUILDING SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004

 

 

NOTE 1 – Basis of presentation and summary of significant accounting policies

 

 

Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

 

On August 8, 2005, pursuant to respective Asset Purchase Agreements, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Champion Enterprises, Inc. (“Champion”) acquired the assets of New Era Building Systems, Inc. (“New Era”), its wholly-owned subsidiary Unique Fabrications, LLC (“Unique”), and its majority-owned subsidiaries, Castle Housing of Pennsylvania, Ltd. (“Castle”) and Carolina Building Solutions, LLC (“CBS”), collectively “the acquired businesses.” At December 31, 2004, New Era owned 55.7% and 54.6%, respectively, of the outstanding membership interests of Castle and CBS.

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the acquired businesses (“the Company”). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

At June 30, 2005, New Era held a 62% interest in an affiliate. The affiliate was not acquired by Champion in the asset acquisitions described above, and therefore New Era’s investment in the affiliate and the affiliate’s accounts and results are not included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the acquired companies. At June 30, 2005, New Era’s investment in the affiliate was $178,000.

 

 

Business

 

The Company is a manufacturer and wholesaler of modular and manufactured housing. The factory-built homes that are produced are primarily single-family dwellings sold to builders/retailers throughout the Eastern United States.

 

NOTE 2 – Inventory

Short-term debt primarily consists of borrowings under bank lines of credit and is secured by the accounts receivable, inventories and certain property and equipment of the Company. Interest on short-term debt ranges from the bank’s prime rate (6.25% at June 30, 2005) to the prime rate plus 0.5%.

NOTE 6 – Contingent liabilities

 

As is customary in the manufactured housing industry, a significant portion of the Company’s sales to builders/retailers are made pursuant to repurchase agreements with lending institutions that provide wholesale floor plan financing to the builders/retailers. Pursuant to these agreements, generally for a period of up to 24 months from invoice date of the sale of the homes and upon default by the builders/retailers and repossession by the financial institution, the Company is obligated to purchase the related floor plan loans or repurchase the homes from the lender. Losses under repurchase agreements have not been and at June 30, 2005, are not expected to be significant.

 

 



 

 

NOTE 7 – Related party transactions

 

A significant portion of the shareholders of the Company are also customers of the Company. During 2005 and 2004, there were significant amounts of sales to these shareholders as well as rebates earned and accrued or paid to these shareholders.

 

NOTE 8 – Income Taxes

 

New Era is an S Corporation and its subsidiaries are limited liability corporations and therefore are not subject to federal and most state income taxes. Accordingly, there is no provision for federal income taxes in the consolidated financial statement. State income taxes are provided in the consolidated financial statements for states in which the Company is subject to income tax.
