NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2009

(Unaudited)

 

Note (1) – General: The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements and the instructions to Form 10-Q related to interim period financial statements. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include certain information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. However, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the Company’s financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009. The June 30, 2009 balance sheet information contained herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of that date.

 

Note (2) – (Loss) Earnings Per Share: Basic and fully diluted (loss) earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 are computed as follows:

At September 30, 2009, the Company had no outstanding options to purchase shares of the Company’s common or other dilutive securities. At September 30, 2008, there were outstanding options to purchase 20,000 of the Company’s common stock which were excluded in the computation of earnings per share because the exercise price of the options was at least the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the period.

 

Note (3) – Revolving Credit Line: Effective November 3, 2009, the Company’s existing $2,250,000 revolving line of credit facility was extended to October 30, 2010. The Company’s obligations under the facility are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries and collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets. No amounts were outstanding under this facility at September 30, 2009 or June 30, 2009.

Note (4) - Stock-Based Compensation Plans: The Company’s 2000 Stock Option Plan and 1994 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan are the Company’s only stock-based compensation plans. The 2000 Stock Option Plan authorizes the grant until May 2, 2010 of options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to employees, directors and consultants. No options were outstanding under the 2000 Stock Option Plan on September 30, 2009. The 1994 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan terminated on May 6, 2009, when the last remaining option under the plan expired unexercised.

 

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the modified prospective approach contained in guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) for accounting for stock compensation. This approach applies to stock compensation grants after December 15, 2005 and to grants that were outstanding on December 31, 2005 to the extent not yet vested. Since no new options were granted during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and all outstanding options were fully vested at December 31, 2005, no compensation cost for share-based payments was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

 

Note (5) – Income Taxes: As of September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2009, the Company had deferred tax assets of $240,444 and $234,469, respectively.

 

Consistent with the guidance of the FASB regarding accounting for income taxes, the Company regularly estimates its ability to recover deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets to reduce the balance to amounts expected to be recoverable. This evaluation considers several factors, including an estimate of the likelihood of generating sufficient taxable income in future periods over which temporary differences reverse, the expected reversal of deferred tax liabilities, past and projected taxable income and available tax planning strategies. As of September 30, 2009, management believes that it is more-likely-than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to realize the net amount of our deferred tax assets over the periods during which temporary differences reverse.

 

Effective July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the FASB’s interpretation as to accounting for the uncertainty relating to the recognition of tax benefits. This interpretation contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating its tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments and which may not accurately anticipate actual outcomes. The adoption of this interpretation did not result in any adjustment to the Company’s provision for income taxes in any of the reported periods.

Note (7) – Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance: In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) (“Codification”). The purpose of the Codification is to provide a single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. The Codification was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. As the Codification was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, the adoption of the Codification did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

(Unaudited)

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued a new standard related to subsequent events which establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The new standard was adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued three accounting standards, each of which were effective for the Company on June 30, 2009. The first requires disclosure about the method and significant assumptions used to establish the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as annual statements. The second provides guidance for other-than-temporary impairments to improve the consistency in the timing of impairment recognition, as well as provide greater clarity to investors about credit and non-credit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. The third provides guidance which primarily addressed the measurement of fair value of financial assets and liabilities when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used could be indicative of distressed sales. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

 

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that amends the revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements and expands the disclosure requirements related to such arrangements. The new guidance amends the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements, establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, eliminates the residual method of allocation, and requires the application of relative selling price method in allocating the arrangement consideration to all deliverables. The Company does not expect this accounting guidance, which is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010, to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance that changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. The accounting guidance is designed to more closely reflect the underlying economics of these transactions. The Company does not expect this accounting guidance, which is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010, to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

 

Note (8) – Subsequent Events: In May 2009, the FASB issued a new standard related to subsequent events which establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The new standard was adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The Company evaluated all events or transactions that occurred after September 30, 2009 up through November 13, 2009, the date the Company issued these financial statements. The only subsequent events noted were the extension of the Company’s revolving line of credit facility as discussed in Note (3) and that, on November 13, 2009, the Company, pursuant to shareholder approval on that date, filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to change the Company’s name to “EnviroStar, Inc.” effective December 1, 2009, at which time the trading symbol for the Company’s common stock on the NYS Amex will change from “DCU” to “EVI.”

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

 

Overview

 

Revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased by 46.3% and the Company experienced a loss of $70,898, or $.01 per share, for the quarter. While this loss was disappointing, it was understandable as the credit crisis and the economy has delayed many potential sales. The lack of large contracts, although affecting revenues, resulted in an increase in the Company’s gross profit margin to 22.5% from 20.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 2010 over the same period fiscal 2009.

 

Cash on hand increased during the quarter by $361,086, while interest income declined despite higher outstanding bank balances which is due to decreased interest rates. Inventories increased during the first quarter, but are in line with projected sales.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, cash increased by $361,086 compared to an increase of $365,542 during the same period of fiscal 2009. The following summarizes the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

For the three month period ended September 30, 2009, operating activities provided cash of $367,362 compared to $365,542 of cash provided during the same period of fiscal 2009. The cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in accounts, trade notes and lease receivables of $258,245 as a result of the decrease in sales, an increase of $257,967 in accounts payable and accrued expenses which is the result of normal business activities and an increase of $322,705 in customer deposits which reflects a slight increase in backlog at the end of the quarter. Accrued employee expenses used cash of $326,448 as fiscal 2009 year end sales bonuses were paid during the quarter. Cash was also used to fund the Company’s operating loss of $70,898, supplemented by the collection of a $35,000 account receivable which resulted in the reversal of a previously recognized bad debt expense was partially offset by the non-cash expense of $20,476 for depreciation and amortization. Additional cash was used to increase inventories by $62,979 and an increase in refundable income taxes of $56,561 as a result of the loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2010.

 

For the three month period ended September 30, 2008, operating activities provided cash of $365,542 compared to cash of $1,232,943 used by operating activities during the same period of fiscal 2008. Cash was provided in the fiscal 2009 quarter by net earnings of $209,001 and non-operating expenses for depreciation and amortization of $32,630 and a provision of $33,130 for deferred taxes together with $91,315 provided by changes in assets and liabilities. Several offsetting factors contributed to the net cash provided by changes of assets and liabilities. First, cash was positively impacted by a decrease of $880,812 in accounts, trade notes and lease receivables resulting primarily from the collection of accounts receivable that arose from the heavy shipments at the end of fiscal 2008, partially offset by a decrease of $159,402 in customer

deposits applied to the heavy shipments during the quarter. An increase in income taxes payable also provided cash of $62,855. On the other hand, cash was negatively impacted by an increase in inventories of $633,574 needed to support the Company’s current backlog, partially offset by a $280,304 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses. Additional cash was used to reduce accrued employee expenses ($295,645) and unearned income ($20,693) associated with the amortization of the initial fee received by the Company from Whirlpool Corporation in January 2005 (which fee was amortized over a four year period ending December 31, 2008).

 

Investing activities used cash of $6,276 for capital expenditures during the first quarter of fiscal 2010. There were no investment activities during the first quarter of fiscal 2009.

 

There were no financing activities during the first quarters of fiscal 2010 and 2009.

 

Effective November 3, 2009, the Company’s existing $2,250,000 revolving line of credit facility was extended to October 30, 2010. The Company’s obligations under the facility are guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiaries and collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets. No amounts were outstanding under this facility at September 30, 2009 or June 30, 2009.

 

The Company believes that its present cash position, the cash it expects to generate from operations, and, should it need cash, not presently anticipated, cash borrowings available under its revolving line of credit, will be sufficient to meet its operational needs.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Financing

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet financing arrangements within the meaning of item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

Net sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2009 decreased by $3,059,887 (46.1%) from the same period of fiscal 2009. The decrease, which includes a 59.7% reduction in foreign sales, affected all product lines except spare parts, and was largely due to the current financial crisis and the weak economy. Sales of industrial laundry equipment decreased by 63.7%, sales of drycleaning equipment decreased by 44.0% and sales of boilers decreased by 51.8%. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of 3.6% in sales of spare parts which are not greatly affected by the economy. Revenues of development fees, franchise and license fees, commissions and other income decreased by $62,658 (58.7%) from the comparable quarter of fiscal 2009 as the Company received lower royalty and license fee income.

Costs of goods sold, expressed as a percentage of sales, decreased to 77.5% during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 from 79.3% during the same period of fiscal 2009. The improved gross profit margins resulted from a decrease in large laundry equipment contracts which normally carry a lower profit margin and the increase in spare parts sales which carry a better profit margin.

 

Selling general and administrative expenses decreased by $213,945 (18.1%), but as a percentage of revenues increased to 26.7% from 17.5%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 from the first quarter of fiscal 2009. While the dollar amount of these expenses decreased, the increase as a percentage of revenues in the fiscal 2010 period was due to the decreased level of sales which lowered the absorption of fixed and semi-variable expenses.

 

Interest income decreased by $22,773 (86.7%) in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 from the same period of fiscal 2009 due to lower prevailing interest rates despite higher average outstanding bank balances.

 

The Company’s income tax benefit of $42,535 (at an effective rate of 37.5%) during the first quarter of fiscal 2010 was the result of the loss for the period compared to an income tax provision of $120,985 (at an effective rate of 36.7%) in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. The slightly higher effective tax rate in fiscal 2009 quarter was due to the loss of the foreign tax exclusion benefit.

 

Inflation

 

Inflation has not had a significant effect on the Company’s operations during any of the reported periods.

 

Transactions with Related Parties

 

The Company leases 27,000 square feet of warehouse and office space from Sheila Steiner, who, together with her husband, William K. Steiner, Chairman of the Board of Directors and a director of the Company, are the trustees of a trust which is a principal shareholder of the Company. The lease provides for a three-year term that commenced on November 1, 2005, with annual rent increases commencing November 1, 2006 of 3% over the rent in the prior year. The rent for the period November 1, 2008 through October 31, 2009 was $103,263 and increased on November 1, 2009 to $106,360 for next twelve months. The Company bears the costs of real estate taxes, utilities, maintenance, non-structural repairs and insurance. The lease contains two three-year renewal options in favor of the Company. The Company exercised its first renewal option to extend this lease until October 31, 2011. The Company believes that the terms of the lease are comparable to terms that would be obtained from an unaffiliated third party for similar property in a similar locale.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The accounting policies that the Company has identified as critical to its business operations and to an understanding of the Company’s results of operations remain unchanged from those described in the Management’s Discussion an Analysis or Plan of Operation section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Therefore, there can be no assurance that the actual results will not differ from those estimates.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

 

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) (“Codification”). The purpose of the Codification is to provide a single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP. The Codification was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. As the Codification was not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, the adoption of the Codification did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued a new standard related to subsequent events which establishes the accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The new standard was adopted in the first quarter of fiscal 2010. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued three accounting standards, each of which were effective for the Company on June 30, 2009. The first requires disclosure about the method and significant assumptions used to establish the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods as well as annual statements. The second provides guidance for other-than-temporary impairments to improve the consistency in the timing of impairment recognition, as well as provide greater clarity to investors about credit and non-credit components of impaired debt securities that are not expected to be sold. The third provides guidance which primarily addressed the measurement of fair value of financial assets and liabilities when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used could be indicative of distressed sales. The adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted

 

In October 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that amends the revenue recognition for multiple-element arrangements and expands the disclosure requirements related to such arrangements. The new guidance amends the criteria for separating consideration in multiple-deliverable arrangements, establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, eliminates the residual method of allocation, and requires the application of relative selling price method in allocating the arrangement consideration to all deliverables. The Company does not expect this accounting guidance, which is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010, to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

In October 2009, the FASB issued accounting guidance that changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements that function together to deliver the product’s essential functionality. The accounting guidance is designed to more closely reflect the underlying economics of these transactions. The Company does not expect this accounting guidance, which is effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010, to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

Certain statements in this Report are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this Report, words such as “may,” “should,” “seek,” “believe,” “expect,” anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “strategy” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements regarding events, conditions and financial trends that may affect the Company’s future plans, operations, business strategies, operating results and financial position. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results, trends, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry trends and results, to differ materially from the future results, trends, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others: general economic and business conditions in the United States and other countries in which the Company’s customers and suppliers are located; industry conditions and trends; technology changes; competition and other factors which may affect prices which the Company may charge for its products and its profit margins; the availability and cost of the equipment purchased by the Company; relative values of the United States currency to currencies in the countries in which the Company’s customers, suppliers and competitors are located; changes in, or the failure to comply with, government regulation, principally environmental regulations; and the Company’s ability to successfully introduce, market and sell at acceptable profit margins its new Green Jet® dry-wetcleaning machine and Multi-Jet® dry cleaning machine; the Company’s ability to implement changes in its business strategies and development plans; and the availability, terms and deployment of debt and equity capital if needed for expansion. These and certain other factors are discussed in this Report and from time to time in other Company reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not assume an obligation to update the factors discussed in this Report or such other reports.

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

 

All of the Company’s export sales require the customer to make payment in United States dollars. Accordingly, foreign sales may be affected by the strength of the United States dollar relative to the currencies of the countries in which their customers and competitors are located, as well as the strength of the economies of the countries in which the Company’s customers are located. The Company has, at times in the past, paid certain suppliers in Euros. The Company’s bank revolving credit facility contains a $250,000 foreign exchange subfacility for this purpose. The Company had no foreign exchange contracts outstanding at September 30, 2009 and 2008.

 

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are maintained in interest-bearing bank accounts, including a money market account, and a tax-free municipal fund, each of which bear interest at prevailing interest rates. Interest income decreased by $22,773 (86.7%) in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 from the same period in fiscal 2009 as a result of lower prevailing interest rates despite higher average outstanding bank balances.

 

Item 4T.      Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, management of the Company, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and the Company’s principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures.” As defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal officer concluded that, as of the date of their evaluation, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s periodic filings under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including those officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company’s periodic reports.

 

During the period covered by this Report, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
