This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains various “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements involve certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including, among others, those contained in “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “intends,” “expects,” “projects,” “will” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. Such statements, including, but not limited to, the Company’s statements regarding business strategy, implementation of its restructuring plan, competition, new product development, liquidity and capital resources are based on management’s beliefs, as well as on assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management, and involve various risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on the Company’s behalf. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking information will in fact prove to be accurate. The Company has undertaken no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

American Locker Group Incorporated and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of American Locker Group Incorporated (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of such condensed financial statements, have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2009.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2008 has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known or that the Company currently deems immaterial may also impair its business operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
2. Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using the first-in first-out method (FIFO).
Inventories consist of the following:
                 
    June 30, 2009     December 31, 2008  
Finished products
  $ 67,632     $ 77,665  
Work-in-process
    613,101       1,071,218  
Raw materials
    1,253,328       1,247,302  
 
           
Net inventories
  $ 1,934,061     $ 2,396,185  
 
           
3. Restricted Cash
The Company’s liquidity is affected by restricted cash balances, which are included in current and non-current assets and are not available for general corporate use. Current restricted cash was $34,896 and $0 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Non-current restricted cash was $75,000 and $0 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Restricted cash relates to escrows and reserves for our mortgage with F.F.F.C.,Inc.
4. Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes is based upon the estimated annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was 19.1% and 34.5%, respectively. The difference in the statutory rate and the effective rate is primarily due to a change in the valuation allowance of approximately $71,000 and $445,000 in 2009 and 2008 respectively.
5. Stockholders’ Equity
Changes in stockholders equity were due to changes in comprehensive loss as well as stock option compensation expense in 2009. Stock option compensation expense was recorded as an increase in other capital of $3,594. Changes in stockholders’ equity were also due to a comprehensive loss of $455,531.
6. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The following table summarizes net income (loss) plus changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders’ equity in the consolidated statement of financial position.

The Company has frozen the accrual of any additional benefits under the U.S. defined benefit pension plan effective July 15, 2005.
Effective January 1, 2009, the Company converted its pension plan for its Canadian employees (the “Canadian Plan”) from a noncontributory defined benefit plan to a defined contribution plan. Until the conversion, benefits for the salaried employees were based on specified percentages of the employees’ monthly compensation. The conversion of the Canadian plan has the effect of freezing the accrual of future defined benefits under the plan. Under the defined contribution plan, the Company will contribute

3% of employee compensation plus 50% of employee elective contributions up to a maximum contribution of 5% of employee compensation.
As a consequence of the Company’s staff reductions at its Canadian subsidiary, the Company recorded a non-cash pension settlement charge of $209,807 in the first quarter of 2009.
For additional information on the defined benefit pension plans, please refer to Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
8. Earnings Per Share
The Company reports earnings per share in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:

The Company had 15,000 and 40,000 stock options outstanding at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, which were not included in the common share computation for loss per share, as the common stock equivalents were anti-dilutive.
9. Debt
On March 5, 2009, the Company renewed its $750,000 revolving line of credit with F&M Bank and Trust Company (“F&M Bank”). The loan accrued interest at prime plus 75 basis points (0.75%). The revolving line of credit matured on June 5, 2009. The line of credit was secured by all accounts receivable, and inventory. The credit agreement underlying the revolving line of credit required compliance with certain covenants.
On March 19, 2009, the Company obtained a new $2 million mortgage loan from F.F.F.C., Inc. which was used to repay the existing mortgage loan with the F&M Bank. Interest on the F.F.F.C., Inc. loan was 12% per annum and was payable monthly. The loan was scheduled to mature on March 20, 2011. The F.F.F.C., Inc. mortgage loan was paid in full on September 18, 2009 in conjunction with the sale of the Company’s headquarters and primary manufacturing facility to the City of Grapevine.
10. Restructuring
As a result of the economic crisis, the Company implemented a restructuring in January 2009 to rationalize its cost structure in an uncertain economic environment. The restructuring included the elimination of approximately 50 permanent and temporary

11


Table of Contents

positions as well as an across the board 10% reduction in wages and a 15% reduction in the base fee paid to members of the Company’s Board of Directors. These reductions (representing approximately 40% of the Company’s workforce) resulted in severance and payroll tax charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 of approximately $36,000 and $264,000, respectively. These payments are expected to be made over the next fifteen months. Additionally, the Company expects to incur $100,000 which has not been accrued for when it relocates its Ellicottville, New York operations to Texas in the first half of 2011. The restructuring and relocation is expected to result in approximately $1,400,000 in annual savings. To implement the restructuring plan, management anticipates incurring aggregate restructuring charges and costs of $396,000. Accrued restructuring expenses are included in “Other accrued liabilities” in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
The following table analyzes the changes in the Company’s reserve with respect to the restructuring plan from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009:

11. Commitments and Contingencies
In July 2001, the Company received a letter from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (the “NYSDEC”) advising the Company that it is a potentially responsible party (PRP) with respect to environmental contamination at and alleged migration from property located in Gowanda, New York which was sold by the Company to Gowanda Electronics Corporation prior to 1980. In March 2001, the NYSDEC issued a Record of Decision with respect to the Gowanda site in which it set forth a remedy, including continued operation of an existing extraction well and air stripper, installation of groundwater pumping wells and a collection trench, construction of a treatment system in a separate building on the site, installation of a reactive iron wall covering 250 linear feet, which is intended to intercept any contaminates, and implementation of an on-going monitoring system. The NYSDEC has estimated that its selected remediation plan will cost approximately $688,000 for initial construction and a total of $1,997,000 with respect to expected operation and maintenance expenses over a 30-year period after completion of initial construction. The Company has not conceded to the NYSDEC that the Company is liable with respect to this matter and has not agreed with the NYSDEC that the remediation plan selected by NYSDEC is the most appropriate plan. This matter has not been litigated, and at the present time the Company has only been identified as a PRP. The Company also believes that other parties may have been identified by the NYSDEC as PRPs, and the allocation of financial responsibility of such parties has not been litigated. Based upon currently available information, the Company is unable to estimate timing with respect to the resolution of this matter. The NYSDEC has not commenced implementation of the remedial plan and has not indicated when construction will start, if ever. The Company’s primary insurance carrier has assumed the cost of the Company’s defense in this matter, subject to a reservation of rights.
Beginning in September 1998 the Company has been named as an additional defendant in approximately 200 cases pending in state court in Massachusetts and 1 in the state of Washington. The plaintiffs in each case assert that a division of the Company

12


Table of Contents

manufactured and furnished components containing asbestos to a shipyard during the period from 1948 to 1972 and that injury resulted from exposure to such products. The assets of this division were sold by the Company in 1973. During the process of discovery in certain of these actions, documents from sources outside the Company have been produced which indicate that the Company appears to have been included in the chain of title for certain wall panels which contained asbestos and which were delivered to the Massachusetts shipyards. Defense of these cases has been assumed by the Company’s insurance carrier, subject to a reservation of rights. Settlement agreements have been entered in approximately 27 cases with funds authorized and provided by the Company’s insurance carrier. Further, over 125 cases have been terminated as to the Company without liability to the Company under Massachusetts procedural rules. Therefore, the balance of unresolved cases against the Company as of September 8, 2009, the most recent date data is available, is approximately 56 cases.
While the Company cannot estimate potential damages or predict the ultimate resolution of these asbestos cases as the discovery proceedings on the cases are not complete, based upon the Company’s experience to date with similar cases, as well as the assumption that insurance coverage will continue to be provided with respect to these cases, at the present time, the Company does not believe that the outcome of these cases will have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s operations or financial condition.
The Company is involved in other claims and litigation from time to time in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe these matters will have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s operations or financial condition.
12. Subsequent Events
On July 29, 2009, the Company entered into a receivables purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Gulf Coast Bank and Trust Company (“GCBT”), pursuant to which the Company will sell certain of its accounts receivable to GCBT. GCBT will not purchase receivables from the Company if the total of all outstanding receivables held by it, at any time, exceeds $2,500,000. In addition, if a receivable is determined to be uncollectible or otherwise ineligible, GCBT may require the Company to repurchase the receivable.
The Agreement calls for the Company to pay a daily variable discount rate, which is the greater of prime plus one and one-half of one percent (1.50%) or six and one-half of one percent (6.5%) per annum, computed on the amount of outstanding receivables held by GCBT, for the period during which such receivables are outstanding. The Company will also pay a fixed discount percentage of 0.2% for each ten-day period during which receivables held by GCBT are outstanding.
Proceeds from the sales of receivables under the Agreement were used to repay the Company’s existing $750,000 revolving line of credit with the F&M Bank & Trust Co. The Company has granted to GCBT a security interest in certain assets to secure its obligations under the Agreement. The Agreement is terminable at any time by either the Company or GCBT upon the giving of notice. The Agreement expires on July 29, 2010.
On September 18, 2009, the Company closed on the sale of its headquarters and primary manufacturing facility to the City of Grapevine. The Company estimates the total value of the Agreement at $3,500,000. Under the Agreement, the City paid a purchase price of $2,747,000. In addition, the Company is entitled to continue to occupy the facility, through December 31, 2010, at no cost. The City has further agreed to pay the Company’s relocation costs within the Dallas-Fort Worth area and to pay the Company’s real property taxes for the Facility through December 31, 2010. Proceeds of the sale were used to pay off the $2 million mortgage and for general working capital purposes.
Subsequent events were evaluated by management through February 9, 2010, the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Effect of New Accounting Guidance
In June 2009 the FASB issued Statement No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles-a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” (“SFAS 168”). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification is intended to be the source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and reporting standards as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Its primary purpose is to improve clarity and use of existing standards by grouping authoritative literature under common topics. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Codification does not change or alter existing GAAP and there is no expected impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June 2009 the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 112 (“SAB 112”). SAB 112 amends or rescinds existing portions of the interpretive guidance included in the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin Series to be consistent with the authoritative accounting

Table of Contents

guidance of FASB Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (“FAS 141R”) and FASB Statement No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements (“FAS 160”). SAB 112 is effective for the Company beginning with the first fiscal quarter of 2010 and will be utilized in conjunction with future business combinations accounted for in accordance with FAS 141R and non-controlling interests accounted for in accordance with FAS 160.
Results of Operations — the Six Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008
Overall Results and Outlook
The financial market and economic turmoil and related disruption of the credit markets has caused a significant slowdown in new construction of multifamily and commercial buildings during the second half of 2008 and continuing through 2009. The economic crisis has also negatively impacted our customers in the travel and recreation industries. New construction in these markets is a key driver of revenue for the Company.
Consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2009 decreased $1,669,604 to $5,763,908 when compared to net sales of $7,433,512 for the same period of 2008, representing a 22.5% decline. This decrease was attributable primarily to the negative effects of the credit crisis as described above. Pre-tax operating results improved to a pre-tax loss of $570,929 for the first six months of 2009 from a reported pre-tax loss of $1,536,710 for the first six months of 2008. After tax operating results improved to a net loss of $461,945 for the first six months of 2009 compared to a net loss of $1,482,269 for the first six months of 2008. Net loss per share (basic and diluted) was $0.29 for the first six months of 2009, down from a net loss per share (basic and diluted) of $0.95 for the same period in 2008.
Net Sales
Consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $5,763,908, a decrease of $1,669,604, or 22.5% compared to net sales of $7,433,512 for the same period of 2008. Sales of non-postal lockers for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $3,613,497, a decrease of $1,104,326, or 23.4%, compared to sales of $4,717,823 for the same period of 2008. The non-postal locker decrease is primarily attributable to lower revenue from the Company’s Canada Locker Company, Ltd. (“Canadian Locker”) subsidiary. Canadian Locker revenue for the first six months of 2009 was approximately $614,000 less than revenue during the same period in 2008. In addition to the overall reduction in economic activity, Canadian Locker sales were negatively impacted by the decrease in value of the Canadian Dollar as compared to the United States Dollar from an average of $0.99 for the first six months of 2008 to an average of $0.83 for the first six months of 2009. The decrease in the value of the Canadian Dollar caused our products to be more expensive in Canadian Dollars which resulted in fewer sales. Additionally, sales of laptop lockers decreased approximately $207,000 in the first six months of 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. Sales of postal lockers were $2,150,411 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $565,278, or 20.8%, compared to sales of $2,715,689 for the same period of 2008. Lower postal locker sales were due primarily to lower sales of post office boxes to the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) and private customers. Post office box sales were negatively impacted by fewer USPS post office openings as well as fewer private mail store openings in 2009 as compared to 2008.
                         
    Six Months Ended June 30,     Percentage  
    2009     2008     Increase/(Decrease)  
Postal Lockers
    2,150,411       2,715,689       (20.8 )%

Total
    5,763,908       7,433,512       (22.5 )%
Cost of Products Sold
Cost of products sold for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $3,765,998 or 65.3% of net sales compared to $5,549,345, or 74.7% of net sales for the same period of 2008, a decrease of $1,783,347, or 32.1%. The decrease in the cost of sales as a percentage of sales was primarily due to reduced overhead expenses as a result of the Company’s restructuring plan as well as reduced raw material costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $1,968,487 or 34.2% of net sales, compared to $3,111,782 or 41.9% of net sales for the same period of 2008, a decrease of $1,143,295, or 36.7%. This decrease was primarily due to reduced personnel costs related to the Company’s restructuring plan. Freight expenses decreased approximately $208,000 for the six month period ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, as a result of the decreased net sales coupled with lower negotiated freight rates.

Restructuring Costs
As a result of the economic crisis, the Company implemented a restructuring in January 2009 to rationalize its cost structure in an uncertain economic environment. The restructuring included the elimination of approximately 50 permanent and temporary positions (a reduction of approximately 40%) as well as an across the board 10% reduction in wages. These resulted in severance and payroll tax charges during the six months ended June 30, 2009 of approximately $264,000. These payments are expected to be made over the next fifteen months. Additionally, the Company will relocate its Ellicottville, New York operations to Texas in the first half of 2011. The restructuring and relocation is expected to result in approximately $1,400,000 in annual savings. To implement the restructuring plan, management anticipates incurring aggregate impairment charges and costs of $396,000. Refer to note 10 in Item 1 of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for detail related to restructuring costs incurred during the first six months of 2009.
Pension Settlement Charge
Refer to note 7 in Item 1 of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for detail related to pension settlement costs incurred during the first six months of 2009.
Asset Impairment
Due to the inadequate profitability of the current Horizontal 4c design, management decided during the second quarter of 2008 to redesign the Horizontal 4c to reduce manufacturing costs. Management has determined that the decision to redesign the Horizontal 4c has impaired the Company’s investment in tooling and inventory related to the current Horizontal 4c design. Therefore, the Company, in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 144,“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” recorded an impairment charge against 2008 second quarter operating results in the amount of $228,000.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $111,231, an increase of $36,875, or 50% compared to interest expense of $74,356 for the same period of 2008. Increased interest expense was due to the higher interest rate of 12% on the F.F.F.C., Inc. mortgage in 2009 as compared to the interest rate on the F&M Bank & Trust Co. mortgage in 2008.
Income Taxes
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $108,984, compared to an income tax benefit of $54,441 for the same period of 2008. The Company’s effective tax rate on earnings was approximately 19.1% for the first six months of 2009 and 3.5% in the first six months of 2008. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2009 was lower than the U.S. Federal statutory tax rate due to a change in the valuation allowance of approximately $71,000 due to the Company’s inability to record a tax benefit for losses from its U.S. subsidiaries.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure — Adjusted EBITDA
The Company presents the non-GAAP financial performance measure of Adjusted EBITDA because management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate the performance of the business and believes the presentation of this measure will enhance investors’ ability to analyze trends in the Company’s business, evaluate the Company’s performance relative to other companies, and evaluate the Company’s ability to service debt.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may vary from other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating earnings or net income as a measure of operating performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not presented as and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:
    Does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
 
    Does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
 
    Does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;
 
    Excludes tax payments that represent a reduction in available cash;
 
    Excludes non-cash equity based compensation;

    Excludes one-time restructuring costs and pension settlement costs; and
 
    Does not reflect any cash requirements for assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future.

Results of Operations — Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008
Overall Results and Outlook
The financial market and economic turmoil and related disruption of the credit markets has caused a significant slowdown in new construction of multifamily and commercial buildings during the second half of 2008 and continuing through 2009. The economic crisis has also negatively impacted our customers in the travel and recreation industries. New construction in these markets is a key driver of revenue for the Company.
Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 2009 reflect a decline in net sales of $866,179 to $3,045,785 when compared to net sales of $3,911,964 for the same period of 2008, representing a 22.1% decline. This decrease was attributable primarily to negative effects of the credit crisis as described above. Pre-tax operating results improved to a pre-tax profit of $160,640 for the second quarter of 2009 from a pre-tax loss of $789,968 for the second quarter of 2008. After tax operating results improved to net income of $105,158 for the second quarter of 2009 from a net loss of $748,746 for the second quarter of 2008. Net income per share (basic and diluted) was $0.07 in the second quarter of 2009, an improvement from a net loss per share (basic and diluted) of $0.48 for the second quarter of 2008.
Net Sales
Consolidated net sales for the three month period ended June 30, 2009 were $3,045,785, a decrease of $866,179, or 22.1%, compared to net sales of $3,911,964 for the same period of 2008. Sales of non-postal lockers for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $1,920,189, a decrease of $511,233, or 21.0%, compared to sales of $2,431,422 for the same period of 2008. The non-postal locker decrease is primarily attributable to lower revenue from the Company’s Canada Locker Company, Ltd. (“Canadian Locker”) subsidiary. Canadian Locker revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was approximately $125,000 less than revenue during the same period in 2008. Additionally, sales of Ambassador stainless steel lockers decreased approximately $125,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the same period in 2008. Sales of postal lockers were $1,125,596 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $354,946, or 24.0%, compared to sales of $1,480,542 for the same period of 2008. Lower postal locker sales were due primarily to lower sales of post office boxes to the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) and private customers. Post office box sales were negatively impacted by fewer USPS post office openings as well as fewer private mail store openings in 2009 as compared to 2008.

Cost of Products Sold
Cost of products sold for the second quarter of 2009 was $1,828,912 or 60.0% of net sales, compared to $2,847,463, or 72.8% of net sales, for the same period of 2008, a decrease of $1,018,551 or 35.8%. The decrease in the cost of sales as a percentage of sales was primarily due to reduced overhead expenses as a result of the Company’s restructuring plan as well as reduced raw material costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses during the second quarter of 2009 totaled $994,915 or 32.7% of net sales, compared to $1,582,017 or 40.4% during the same period of 2008, a decrease of $587,102, or 37.1%. This decrease was primarily due to reduced personnel costs related to the Company’s restructuring plan. Freight expenses decreased approximately $96,000 for the three month period ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the same period in 2008, as a result of the decreased net sales coupled with lower negotiated freight rates
Restructuring Costs
Refer to note 10 in Item 1 of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for detail related to restructuring costs incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Asset Impairment
Due to the inadequate profitability of the current Horizontal 4c design, management decided during the second quarter of 2008 to redesign the Horizontal 4c to reduce manufacturing costs. Management has determined that the decision to redesign the Horizontal 4c has impaired the Company’s investment in tooling and inventory related to the current Horizontal 4c design. Therefore, the Company, in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 144,“Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets” recorded an impairment charge against 2008 second quarter operating results in the amount of $228,000.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the second quarter of 2009 was $72,080 compared to $35,812 for the same period of 2008, an increase of $36,268 or 101.3%. Increased interest expense was due to the higher interest rate on the F.F.F.C., Inc. mortgage (12%) in 2009 as compared to the interest rate on the F&M Bank & Trust Co. mortgage in 2008 and increased borrowing against the Company’s line of credit.
Income Taxes
For the second quarter of 2009, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $55,482 compared to an income tax benefit of $41,222 for the same period of 2008. The Company’s effective tax rate on earnings was approximately 34.5% and (5.2)% in the second quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively. The lower effective tax rate in 2008 was primarily due to a change in the valuation allowance of approximately $222,000 due to the Company’s inability to record a tax benefit for losses from its U.S. subsidiaries.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure — Adjusted EBITDA
The Company presents the non-GAAP financial performance measure of Adjusted EBITDA because management uses this measure to monitor and evaluate the performance of the business and believe the presentation of this measure will enhance investors’ ability to analyze trends in the Company’s business, evaluate the Company’s performance relative to other companies and evaluate the Company’s ability to service debt.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and our computation of Adjusted EBITDA may vary from other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating earnings or net income as a measure of operating performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is not presented as and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:
    Does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
 
    Does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
 
    Does not reflect our interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt;
 
    Excludes tax payments that represent a reduction in available cash; and

    Does not reflect any cash requirements for assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future.
 
    Excludes onetime expenses and equity compensation.
The following table reconciles earnings as reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations prepared in accordance with GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA:

Liquidity and Sources of Capital
The Company’s liquidity is reflected by its current ratio, which is the ratio of current assets to current liabilities, and its working capital, which the excess of current assets over current liabilities. These measures of liquidity were as follows:
                 
    As of June 30,   As of December 31,
    2009   2008
Current Ratio
    1.9 to 1             1.9 to 1  
Working Capital
  $ 2,678,016     $ 2,802,308  
The decrease in working capital of $124,292 relates primarily to the reclassification of $173,354 of current portion of long-term debt to long-term debt as a result of the Company’s new mortgage.
On March 5, 2009, the Company renewed its $750,000 revolving line of credit with F&M Bank and Trust Company (“F&M Bank”). The loan accrued interest at prime plus 75 basis points (0.75%). The revolving line of credit matured on June 5, 2009. The line of credit was secured by all accounts receivable, and inventory. The credit agreement underlying the revolving line of credit required compliance with certain covenants.
On March 19, 2009, the Company obtained a new $2 million mortgage loan from F.F.F.C., Inc. which was used to repay the existing mortgage loan with F&M Bank. Interest on the F.F.F.C., Inc. loan was 12% per annum and was payable monthly. The loan was scheduled to mature on March 20, 2011. The F.F.F.C., Inc. mortgage loan was paid in full on September 18, 2009 in conjunction with the sale of the Company’s headquarters and primary manufacturing facility to the City of Grapevine.
On July 29, 2009, the Company entered into a receivables purchase agreement (the “Receivables Agreement”) with Gulf Coast Bank and Trust Company (“GCBT”), pursuant to which the Company will sell certain of its accounts receivable to GCBT. GCBT will not purchase receivables from the Company if the total of all outstanding receivables held by it, at any time, exceeds $2,500,000. In addition, if a receivable is determined to be uncollectible or otherwise ineligible, GCBT may require the Company to repurchase the receivable.
The Receivables Agreement calls for the Company to pay a daily variable discount rate, which is the greater of prime plus one and one-half of one percent (1.50%) or six and one-half of one percent (6.5%) per annum, computed on the amount of outstanding receivables held by GCBT, for the period during which such receivables are outstanding. The Company will also pay a fixed discount percentage of 0.2% for each ten-day period during which receivables held by GCBT are outstanding.

Proceeds from the sales of receivables under the Receivables Agreement were used to repay the Company’s existing $750,000 revolving line of credit with the F&M Bank & Trust Co. The Company has granted to GCBT a security interest in certain assets to secure its obligations under the Agreement. The Agreement is terminable at any time by either the Company or GCBT upon the giving of notice.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Raw Materials
The Company does not have any long-term commitments for the purchase of raw materials. With respect to its products that use steel and aluminum, the Company expects that any raw material price changes would be reflected in adjusted sales prices. The Company believes that the risk of supply interruptions due to such matters as strikes at the source of supply or to logistics systems is limited. Present sources of supplies and raw materials incorporated into the Company’s products are generally considered to be adequate and are currently available in the marketplace.
Foreign Currency
The Company’s Canadian operation subjects the Company to foreign currency risk, though it is not considered a significant risk since the Canadian operation’s net assets represented only 13.2% of the Company’s aggregate net assets at June 30, 2009. Presently, management does not hedge its foreign currency risk.
Interest Rate Risks
On March 5, 2009, the Company renewed its $750,000 revolving line of credit with F&M Bank and Trust Company. The loan accrued interest at prime plus 75 basis points (0.75%).
On March 19, 2009, the Company obtained a new $2 million mortgage loan from F.F.F.C., Inc. which was used to repay the existing mortgage loan with the F&M Bank & Trust Co. Interest on the loan was 12% per annum and is payable monthly.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, of the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2009. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance to the Company’s management and board of directors that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to its management, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, including consideration of the existence of the material weaknesses discussed below, the principal executive officer and principal accounting officer of the Company have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2009 were not effective, at the reasonable assurance level, to ensure that (a) material information relating to the Company is accumulated and made known to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal accounting officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (b) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
In connection with the preparation of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, which was filed late with the SEC on February 2, 2010, a material weaknesses was identified in Item 9A(T) of that Form 10-K.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Taking into account the communication dated February 1, 2010 by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, management has identified the following material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting:
     Material weakness previously identified as of December 31, 2007 that continues to exist as of December 31, 2008:
    Timeliness of Financial Reporting — Subsequent to the Company filing its September 30, 2008 quarterly report on Form 10-Q in a timely manner, the Company reduced its accounting staff as part of its January 2009 restructuring. In January

Table of Contents

      2009, management chose to delay the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 in order to improve the Company’s liquidity position. Additionally, the Company was impacted by the unplanned departure of several key members of the accounting department after the restructuring was implemented. Once the decision was made to restore staffing levels in the accounting department to an adequate level, the rebuilding of accounting function took longer than anticipated. As a consequence of the foregoing, the Company has been unable to file its required interim and annual reports with the SEC in a timely manner.
     Based on management’s assessment, and because of the material weakness described above, we have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2008.
     Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have developed and are implementing remediation plans to address our material weakness. We have taken the following actions to improve our internal control over financial reporting:
     Actions implemented or initiated after 2008 to address the material weakness described above that exists as of December 31, 2008:
  The Company is taking the following actions to strengthen controls over financial reporting to ensure the timely filing of required interim and annual financial reporting with the SEC which include; (i) the hiring of additional accounting and finance personnel will increase the Company’s ability to timely file interim and annual reports with the SEC; and (ii) the filing of late interim and annual financial reports with the SEC will reduce time spent by accounting and finance personnel on these matters.
