EXPLANATORY
NOTE
On March
4, 2010, management of Marine Products Corporation (“MPC” or the “Company”),
with the concurrence of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors,
concluded that the consolidated financial statements as of and for the three
months ended March 31, 2009, presented in MPC’s previously issued Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2009 (“First
Quarter Form 10-Q”), filed on May 5,
2009, incorrectly reflected certain dealer incentive costs as part of
selling, general and administrative expenses rather than as a reduction in
net sales. As a result, the Company determined that the First
Quarter Form 10-Q should not be relied upon and is being restated, as discussed
below.
The
Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment” or “Form 10-Q/A”)
to amend Items 1, 2, and 4 of Part I and Item 6 of Part II of the Company’s
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to correct the classification of these costs as
indicated above.
A
detailed description of the restatement is presented under Note 2 - Restatement
to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, which shows the amount of
the reclassification between net sales and selling, general and administrative
expenses and the impact of that reclassification on gross (loss) profit. This
restatement has no impact on the previously reported operating loss, loss before
income taxes, net loss or loss per share, or on the consolidated balance sheets,
consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity or consolidated statements of
cash flows.
In
addition, this First Quarter Form 10-Q/A reflects the revision of management’s
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations in
Item 2 of Part I; the revision of disclosures regarding controls and
procedures in Item 4 of Part I; and new certifications filed as exhibits in
Item 6 of Part II.
This
First Quarter Form 10-Q/A has not been updated for events or information
subsequent to the date of filing of the original First Quarter Form 10-Q except
in connection with the foregoing. Accordingly, except as otherwise set forth
herein, this First Quarter Form 10-Q/A speaks as of May 5, 2009, the date of the
filing of the First Quarter Form 10-Q, and should be read in conjunction with
the Company’s other filings made with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

GENERAL
|
|
The
accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
all adjustments (all of which consisted of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three months ended March
31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending December 31,
2009.
|
The
balance sheet at December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial
statements.
|
For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31,
2008.
|
A
group that includes the Company’s Chairman of the Board, R. Randall
Rollins and his brother Gary W. Rollins, who is also director of the
Company, and certain companies under their control, controls in excess of
fifty percent of the Company’s voting
power.
|
2.
|
RESTATEMENT
|
During
the first, second and third quarters of 2009 the Company
misclassified costs for certain dealer incentive programs as selling
general and administrative expenses. These charges should have
been recorded as reductions to net
sales.
|
As
a result, net sales, gross (loss) profit and selling, general and
administrative expenses were misstated in the First Quarter Form 10-Q and
have been restated. This restatement has no impact on the previously
reported operating loss, loss before income taxes, net loss or loss per
share, or on the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statement of
stockholders’ equity or consolidated statements of cash
flows. The table below shows the amounts originally reported,
the amount of the adjustment, the restated amounts and the net loss
which was not impacted by the
restatement.

EARNINGS
PER SHARE
|
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 128, “Earnings Per Share,”
requires a basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share
presentation. The two calculations differ as a result of the dilutive
effect of stock options and time lapse restricted shares and performance
restricted shares included in diluted earnings per share, but excluded
from basic earnings per share. Basic and diluted earnings per share are
computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the respective periods. A
reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding is as
follows:

In
June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-6-1,
“Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment
Transactions Are Participating Securities,” to clarify that all
outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain
non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid
or unpaid, are participating securities. An entity must include
participating securities in its calculation of basic and diluted earnings
per share (EPS) pursuant to the two-class method, as described in FASB
Statement 128, Earnings per Share. The Company has periodically issued
share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to
dividends. The Company evaluated the impact of FSP EITF
03-6-1 and determined that the impact was not material and determined the
basic and diluted earnings per share amounts as reported are equivalent to
the basic and diluted earnings per share amounts calculated under FSP EITF
03-6-1.

In
June 2008, the FASB issued FSP EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether
Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities.” The Company adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1 effective
January 1, 2009 and the adoption of this accounting guidance did not have
a material effect on its consolidated financial statements or
EPS. See Note 2 titled Earnings Per Share for
further details.
|
|
In
April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 142-3, which amends the
factors that must be considered in developing renewal or extension
assumptions used to determine the useful life over which to amortize the
cost of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets.” The FSP requires an entity that is estimating the useful
life of a recognized intangible asset to consider its historical
experience in renewing or extending similar arrangements or, in the
absence of historical experience, must consider assumptions that market
participants would use about renewal or extension that are both consistent
with the asset’s highest and best use and adjusted for entity-specific
factors under SFAS No. 142. The Company adopted the
provisions of this FSP on January 1, 2009 and plans to apply the guidance
for determining the useful life of a recognized intangible asset acquired
hereafter.

Financial
Accounting Standards Board Staff Positions and
Interpretations
|
In
December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position (FSP) FAS 132R-1, “Employers’ Disclosures about
Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.” The FASB issued the FSP, which amends
FASB Statement 132R, Employers’ Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, in order to provide
adequate transparency about the types of assets and associated risks in
employers’ postretirement plans. Disclosures are designed to
provide an understanding of how investment decisions are made: the major
categories of plan assets; the inputs and valuation techniques used to
measure the fair value of plan assets; the effect of fair value
measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements
in FASB Statement 157, Fair Value Measurements) on changes in plan assets
for the period; and significant concentrations of risk within plan
assets. The disclosures about plan assets required by this FSP
are required to be provided for fiscal years ending after December 15,
2009, with the provisions of this FSP not required for earlier periods
that are presented for comparative purposes, upon initial application.
Earlier application of the provisions of this FSP is permitted. The Company is currently in the process of
determining the additional disclosures required upon the adoption of this
FSP.
|
|
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP
SFAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of
Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and
Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly.” FSP SFAS 157-4 affirms that the objective
of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that
would be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction, and
clarifies and includes additional factors for determining whether there
has been a significant decrease in market activity for an asset when the
market for that asset is not active. FSP SFAS 157-4 requires an
entity to base its conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly
on the weight of the evidence. FSP SFAS 157-4 also amended
SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” to expand certain disclosure
requirements. This FSP shall be effective for interim
and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be
applied prospectively. Adoption of this
FSP SFAS 157-4 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

and SFAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary
Impairments.” FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 (i) changes
existing guidance for determining whether an impairment is other than
temporary to debt securities and (ii) replaces the existing
requirement that the entity’s management assert it has both the intent and
ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement
that management assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the
security; and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell
the security before recovery of its cost basis. Under
FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2, declines in the fair value
of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost
that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as
realized losses to the extent the impairment is related to credit losses.
The amount of the impairment related to other factors is recognized in
other comprehensive income. This FSP shall be effective for interim
and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. Adoption of this FSP is not expected to have a
material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 107-1
and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial
Instruments.” FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS 107,
“Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” to require an
entity to provide disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in
interim financial information and amends Accounting Principles Board
(APB) Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting,” to
require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim
reporting periods. Under FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, a
publicly traded company shall include disclosures about the fair value of
its financial instruments whenever it issues summarized financial
information for interim reporting periods. In addition, entities must
disclose, in the body or in the accompanying notes of its summarized
financial information for interim reporting periods and in its financial
statements for annual reporting periods, the fair value of all financial
instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, whether
recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position, as
required by SFAS 107. This FSP shall be effective for interim
reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The new interim disclosures required by this
FSP will be included in the Company’s interim financial statements
beginning with the second quarter of
2009.

In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 141R-1, “Accounting for
Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That
Arise from Contingencies.” FSP SFAS 141R-1 amends the
guidance in SFAS 141R to require that assets acquired and liabilities
assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be
recognized at fair value if fair value can be reasonably estimated. If
fair value of such an asset or liability cannot be reasonably estimated,
the asset or liability would generally be recognized in accordance with
SFAS 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” and FASB Interpretation (FIN)
No. 14, “Reasonable Estimation of the Amount of a Loss.”
FSP SFAS 141R-1 removes subsequent accounting guidance for
assets and liabilities arising from contingencies from SFAS 141R and
requires entities to develop a systematic and rational basis for
subsequently measuring and accounting for assets and liabilities arising
from contingencies. FSP SFAS 141R-1 eliminates the requirement
to disclose an estimate of the range of outcomes of recognized
contingencies at the acquisition date. For unrecognized contingencies,
entities are required to include only the disclosures required by
SFAS 5. FSP SFAS 141R-1 also requires that contingent
consideration arrangements of an acquiree assumed by the acquirer in a
business combination be treated as contingent consideration of the
acquirer and should be initially and subsequently measured at fair value
in accordance with SFAS 141R. FSP SFAS 141R-1 is effective
for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies the Company acquires
in business combinations occurring after January 1,
2009.

MARKETABLE
SECURITIES

Marine
Products maintains investments held with a large, well-capitalized
financial institution. Management determines the appropriate
classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates
such designations as of each balance sheet date. Debt
securities are classified as available-for-sale because the Company does
not have the intent to hold the securities to maturity. Available-for-sale
securities are stated at their fair values, with the unrealized gains and
losses, net of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders’
equity. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific
identification method. Realized gains and losses, declines in
value judged to be other than temporary, interest and dividends on
available-for-sale securities are included in interest
income. The fair value and the unrealized gains (losses) of the

Repurchase
Obligations
|
|
The
Company is a party to various agreements with third party lenders that
provide floor plan financing to qualifying dealers whereby the Company
guarantees varying amounts of debt on boats in dealer
inventory. The Company’s obligation under these guarantees
becomes effective in the case of a default under the financing arrangement
between the dealer and the third party lender. The agreements provide for
the return of repossessed boats in “like new” condition to the Company, in
exchange for the Company’s assumption of specified percentages of the debt
obligation on those boats, up to certain contractually determined dollar
limits by lender.
|
|
As
a result of dealer defaults, MPC became contractually obligated to
repurchase inventory of approximately $2.6 million during the fourth
quarter of 2008 and approximately $3.6 million during the first quarter of
2009. At March 31, 2009, there is $2.5 million payable to floor
plan lenders that is classified as accrued expenses. The
payable to floor plan lenders at December 31, 2008 was $2.4
million. During the first quarter of 2009, the Company redistributed approximately $3.3
million of these boats among existing and replacement
dealers. Repurchased boats included in inventory as of March
31, 2009 are recorded at an estimated net realizable value of $2.1
million. The Company recorded costs in connection with
these repurchases of approximately $0.6 million during the first quarter
of 2009 as a reduction in net sales. As of March 31, 2009, the
Company has an aggregate remaining repurchase obligation to lenders of
$1.8 million.
|
|
The
Company re-evaluated the fair value of the remaining guarantee liability
and reduced the liability from $227 thousand to $50 thousand as of March
31, 2009. Management continues to monitor the risk of
additional defaults and resulting repurchase obligation based in part on
information provided by the third-party floor plan lenders and will adjust
the guarantee liability at the end of each reporting period based on
information reasonably available at that
time.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND

Historically,
and during most of 2008, there were at least two major marine dealer floor
plan financing institutions. At the end of 2008, one of these
institutions announced that it would cease floor plan lending to all
unaffiliated dealers including those in the marine
industry. During the first quarter of 2009, one lender
approached Marine Products with a request to raise the contractual
repurchase limit. During 2008 this lender imposed additional
borrowing costs not covered in the current contractual
arrangement. Marine Products is negotiating with this lender
regarding these and other issues regarding contract provisions which
expire at the end of the 2009 model year and contract provisions for the
2010 model year.

For
the first quarter of 2009, the income tax provision reflects a beneficial
effective tax rate of 42.2 percent, compared to an effective rate of 28.4
percent for the comparable period in the prior year. The
increase in the effective rate was due primarily to the relationship of
our pretax income (loss) to permanent differences.

FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS
|
The
Company adopted SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” and FSP 157-2,
“Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” in the first quarter of
2008. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about items
measured at fair value. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair
value measurements. It applies to accounting pronouncements
that already require or permit fair value measures. As a
result, the Company will not be required to recognize any new assets or
liabilities at fair value. FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157
for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements
on a recurring basis.
|
18
SFAS
157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between
assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s
assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of
three broad levels as follows:
|
Level
1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities
|
|
Level
2 – Inputs other than level 1 that are either directly or indirectly
observable
|
|
Level
3 – Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and
assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would
use.
|
|
Securities:
|
|
The
Company determines the fair value of marketable securities that are
available for sale and of investments in the non-qualified plan that are
trading using quoted market prices. The adoption of SFAS 157
had no effect on the Company’s valuation of these marketable securities or
investments.

The
carrying amount of other financial instruments reported in the balance sheet for
current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values because of
the short term maturity of these instruments.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115.” This statement permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This
statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, including interim periods within that
fiscal year. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its
existing financial instruments and the Company has not determined whether or not
it will elect this option for financial instruments it may acquire in the
future.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Marine
Products Corporation, through our wholly-owned subsidiaries Chaparral and
Robalo, is a leading manufacturer of recreational fiberglass powerboats. Our
sales and profits are generated by selling the products that we manufacture to a
network of independent dealers who in turn sell the products to retail
customers. These dealers are located throughout the continental United States
and in several international markets. A majority of these dealers
finance their inventory through third-party floorplan lenders, who pay Marine
Products generally within seven to 10 days after delivery of the products to the
dealers.
The
discussion on business and financial strategies of the Company set forth under
the heading “Overview” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 is incorporated herein by
reference. There have been no significant changes in the strategies
since year-end.
In
implementing these strategies and attempting to optimize our financial returns,
management closely monitors dealer orders and inventories, the production mix of
its various models, and indications of near term demand such as consumer
confidence, interest rates, fuel costs, dealer orders placed at our annual
dealer conferences, and retail attendance and orders at annual winter boat show
exhibitions. We also consider trends related to certain key financial
and other data, including our market share, unit sales of our products, average
selling price per unit, and gross profit margins, among others, as indicators of
the success of our strategies. Marine Products’ financial results are
affected by consumer confidence — because pleasure boating is a discretionary
expenditure, interest rates and credit availability — because many retail
customers finance the purchase of their boats, and other socioeconomic and
environmental factors such as availability of leisure time, consumer
preferences, demographics and the weather.
We
further reduced our production levels at various times during the three months
ended March 31, 2009 in response to our concerns about dealer and consumer
demand for products in our industry, which resulted from continued problems in
the housing market, high fuel prices and concern regarding a general economic
slowdown. In the first quarter of 2009, our production levels were
significantly lower than the levels during the first quarter of
2008. Despite significant cost reduction efforts, the Company
sustained a gross loss during the quarter primarily due to manufacturing cost
inefficiencies due to very low production levels and sales to dealers, as well
as additional costs of our winter retail incentive
programs. Consistent with the overall reduction in demand for
recreational products, including fiberglass boats, our unit backlog at the end
of the quarter was approximately half of what it was at this time last
year.
20
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND
SUBSIDIARIES
OUTLOOK
The
discussion on the outlook for 2009 is incorporated herein by reference from the
Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008.
The weak
dealer and customer demand that began over three years ago accelerated during
the third quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, as the severe economic
downturn prompted consumers to halt virtually all large discretionary
purchases. The winter boat show season, which is an important
indicator of demand for the upcoming retail selling season, once again generated
low attendance and sales, indicating that the 2009 retail selling season will be
weak. The same macroeconomic and industry-specific factors that have
been issues for our business continued to be problems during the first quarter
of 2009, and were exacerbated by continued contractions in lending to both our
dealers and potential retail customers. The ongoing recent
curtailment of consumer and business lending has made it difficult for consumers
and dealers to secure financing for retail purchases and for inventory
financing. The Company does not believe that there are any near-term
catalysts which will improve the retail selling environment for our products,
and as a result, we have continued to reduce production in order to manage
dealer inventory levels. We have accomplished this by consolidating
several plants in the fourth quarter of 2008, undertaking additional workforce
reductions, and periodically idling our manufacturing operations on a regular,
planned schedule. In addition, the weak selling environment and
dealer inventory levels have required us to develop sales incentive programs
designed to sell dealer boat inventory. We recently developed a new
retail incentive program to be in effect during the 2009 spring retail selling
season. Management will continue to monitor the risk of dealer
defaults and resulting repurchase obligations.
The
Company’s strategy at the present time is to produce an appropriate quantity of
current-year models in order to meet firm demand and preserve the value of our
brand names, while continuing a prudent amount of product development efforts to
develop new models for the 2010 model year. In addition, we are
continuing our ongoing strategy to reduce dealer field inventory to an
appropriately low level in order to ultimately generate demand for our 2010
models. We anticipate that there will be additional costs associated
with such planned field inventory reduction efforts including the cost of the
spring retail program. The cost will depend upon the number of boats
sold under this and other programs. Additionally, we expect that
reduced consumer demand will continue at least through 2009 which will adversely
affect net sales, net income, operating margins and cash flows.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
2009 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2008
Net sales for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 decreased $52.3 million or 79.8 percent compared to
the comparable period in 2008. The change in net sales was due primarily to a
77.9 percent decrease in the number of boats sold and the recognition of
additional costs for our winter retail incentive program during the
quarter. As a result of selling more boats from dealer field
inventory under this program than estimated, first quarter’s net sales include
additional incentive costs of approximately $1.1 million making the total
program cost for units in dealer inventory approximately $2.0 million. Unit
sales among all models declined significantly compared to the prior year,
although average gross selling price per boat remained relatively
unchanged. In the first quarter of 2009, sales outside of the United
States accounted for 35.1 percent of net sales compared to 32.3 percent of net
sales in the prior year.
Cost of goods sold for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 was $13.9 million compared to $52.1 million for the
comparable period in 2008, a decrease of $38.2 million or 73.4
percent. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, increased
primarily as the result of significant manufacturing cost inefficiencies due to
very low production volumes and lower net sales as discussed above.
22
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Selling, general and administrative
expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $4.1 million
compared to $8.3 million for the comparable period in 2008, a decrease of $4.2
million or 49.8 percent. The decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses was primarily due to the variable nature of many of
these expenses, including incentive compensation, which declined as a percentage
of sales consistent with lower sales and profitability, and warranty
expense. Also, salary, research and development and advertising
expenses were lower due to cost control measures instituted in the past
year. Warranty expense was 4.9 percent of net sales for the three
months ended March 31, 2009 compared to 1.9 percent in the prior year due
primarily to approximately $0.4 million in additional warranty expense
recognized during the quarter relating to boats sold in prior
years. This prior year adjustment was primarily as a result of an
increase in claims filed for 2007 model year boats.
Operating (loss) income for
the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased $10.1 million compared to the
comparable period in 2008. Operating loss was primarily due to a gross loss
partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses.
Interest income was $0.5
million during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and $0.6 million for the
comparable period in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a
decrease in the short term interest rates compared to prior year.
Income tax (benefit)
provision for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $(1.8) million was
$3.4 million lower than the income tax provision of $1.6 million for the
comparable period in 2008. The income tax benefit for the three months ended
March 31, 2009 reflects a beneficial effective tax rate of 42.2 percent,
compared to an effective rate of 28.4 percent for the comparable period in the
prior year. The change in the effective rate was due primarily to the
relationship of our pretax income (loss) to permanent differences.

MARINE
PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Cash
provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009
decreased approximately $7.5 million compared to the comparable period in
2008. This decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in net
earnings partially offset by lower working capital requirements for inventory
and accounts receivables consistent with lower sales in 2009 compared to
2008.
Cash
provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009
increased approximately $4.7 million compared to the comparable period in 2008,
resulting primarily from the sales of long-term marketable securities in
2009.
Cash used
for financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 decreased
approximately $2.7 million primarily due to a reduction in dividends paid per
share during 2009 compared to 2008 coupled with lower cost of common share
repurchases in 2009.
Financial
Condition and Liquidity
The
Company believes that the liquidity provided by existing cash, cash equivalents
and marketable securities, its overall strong capitalization, and cash generated
from operations, will provide sufficient capital to meet the Company’s
requirements for the next twelve months.
The
Company’s decisions about the amount of cash to be used for investing and
financing purposes are influenced by its capital position and the expected
amount of cash to be provided by operations.
Cash
Requirements
The
Company currently expects that capital expenditures during 2009 will be
approximately $365 thousand, of which $13 thousand has been spent through March
31, 2009.
The
Company participates in a multiple employer Retirement Income Plan, sponsored by
RPC, Inc. (“RPC”). The Company does not currently expect to make any
contributions to this plan during 2009.
On April
28, 2009, the Board of Directors voted to suspend the quarterly cash dividend to
common stockholders.
On
January 22, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized an additional 3,000,000
shares that the Company may repurchase, increasing the number of shares
available for repurchase. The Company has purchased a total of
4,925,157 shares in the open market as of March 31, 2009. As of March
31, 2009, there are 3,324,843 shares that remain available for repurchase. The
Company did not repurchase any shares under this program during the first
quarter of 2009.
24
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND
SUBSIDIARIES
The
Company incurred repurchase obligations totaling approximately $3.6 million
during the first quarter of 2009 resulting from dealer defaults on floor plan
financing. At March 31, 2009 the payable to floor plan lenders
totaled $2.5 million. If additional dealers experience financial
difficulty as a result of the current market conditions, the Company may incur
additional repurchase obligations under current programs or programs initiated
in the future for the 2010 model year. See further information
regarding repurchase obligations in Note 7 of the Consolidated Financial
Statements and in the section below titled “Off Balance Sheet
Arrangements.”
The
Company warrants the entire boat, excluding the engine, against defects in
materials and workmanship for a period of one year. The Company also
warrants the entire deck and hull, including its bulkhead and supporting
stringer system, against defects in materials and workmanship for periods
ranging from five to ten years. See Note 7 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for a detail of activity in the warranty accruals during
the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
OFF BALANCE SHEET
ARRANGEMENTS
To assist
dealers in obtaining financing for the purchase of its boats for inventory, the
Company has entered into agreements with various third-party floor plan lenders
whereby the Company guarantees varying amounts of debt for qualifying dealers on
boats in inventory. The Company’s obligation under these guarantees becomes
effective in the case of a default under the financing arrangement between the
dealer and the third-party lender. The agreements provide for the
return of all repossessed boats in “like new” condition to the Company, in
exchange for the Company’s assumption of specified percentages of the debt
obligation on those boats, up to certain contractually determined dollar limits
which vary by lender. As a result of dealer defaults, the Company
became contractually obligated to repurchase dealer inventory of approximately
$3.6 million during the first quarter of 2009. As of March 31, 2009,
the Company has an aggregate remaining repurchase obligation to lenders of $1.8
million. The Company’s remaining obligation relating to a
maximum of $1.4 million of this obligation expires one year after the July 1,
2008 effective date of this agreement. Our obligation related to the
remaining $0.4 million of this total as of March 31, 2009 varies based on dealer
floor plan debt outstanding, declines over time based on the age of the
inventory, and remains in force for periods ranging up to 24 months from the end
of the first quarter of 2009.
Management
continues to monitor the risk of additional defaults and resulting repurchase
obligation based in part on information provided by the third-party floor plan
lenders and will adjust the guarantee liability at the end of each reporting
period based on information reasonably available at that time. See
further information regarding repurchase obligations in Note 7 of the
Consolidated Financial Statements.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND
SUBSIDIARIES
Historically,
and during most of 2008, there were at least two major marine dealer floor plan
financing institutions. At the end of 2008, one of these institutions
announced that it would cease floor plan lending to all unaffiliated dealers
including those in the marine industry. During the first quarter of
2009, one lender approached Marine Products with a request to raise the
contractual repurchase limit. During 2008 this lender imposed
additional borrowing costs not covered in the current contractual
arrangement. Marine Products is negotiating with this lender
regarding these and other issues regarding contract provisions which expire at
the end of the 2009 model year and contract provisions for the 2010 model
year.
RELATED PARTY
TRANSACTIONS
In
conjunction with its spin-off from RPC in 2001, the Company and RPC entered into
various agreements that define their relationship after the
spin-off. A detailed discussion of the various agreements in effect
is contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008. RPC charged the Company for its allocable share of
administrative costs incurred for services rendered on behalf of Marine Products
totaling approximately $0.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 and
approximately $0.3 million in the three months ended March 31,
2008.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The
discussion of Critical Accounting Policies is incorporated herein by reference
from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2008. There have been no significant changes in the critical
accounting policies since year-end.
IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS
See
Notes 3 and 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description
of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption
and estimated effects on results of operations and financial
condition.
SEASONALITY
Marine
Products’ quarterly operating results are affected by weather and general
economic conditions. Quarterly operating results for the second
quarter historically have reflected the highest quarterly sales volume during
the year with the first quarter being the next highest sales quarter. However,
the results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected in any future period.
26
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND
SUBSIDIARIES
INFLATION
During
the third and fourth quarters of 2008 and continuing into the first quarter of
2009, the Company experienced a significant decline in certain material and
component costs that include hydrocarbon feedstocks and industrial metals such
as copper. During the first quarter of 2009, the prices of some of these
commodities have stabilized. This fall in prices may lead to lower
materials costs in 2009. However, no assurance can be given that
commodities prices will remain low, or at what prices they can be purchased in
the future. Also, given low retail consumer demand for the Company’s
products at the present time, no assurance can be given that the Company will be
able to institute price increases to its dealers in the event that the prices of
its raw materials and components increase in the future.
New boat
buyers typically finance their purchases. Higher inflation typically results in
higher interest rates that could translate into an increased cost of boat
ownership. Prospective buyers may choose to forego or delay their
purchases or buy a less expensive boat in the event that interest rates
rise.

FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Certain
statements made in this report that are not historical facts are
“forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, the
expected effect of recent accounting pronouncements on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements; the Company’s estimate of the guarantee
liability under dealer floor plan financing arrangements; the Company’s
expectation that it will not make any contributions to its pension plan in 2009;
the Company’s belief that there are not any near-term catalysts which will
improve the retail selling environment and that the 2009 selling season will be
weak; the Company’s belief that it may be required to implement additional sales
incentive programs designed to sell inventory; the Company’s ability to produce
an appropriate quantity of current-year models to meet firm demand and preserve
the value of brand names while maintaining a prudent amount of research and
development to develop new 2010 models; the Company’s ability to reduce field
inventory levels to allow dealers to purchase 2010 models; the Company’s belief
it will continue to experience the effect of reduced consumer demand for the
remainder of 2009, which will adversely effect net sales, net income, operating
margins and cash flows; the Company’s belief that its liquidity, capitalization
and cash expected to be generated from operations will provide sufficient
capital to meet the Company’s requirements for the next twelve months; the
Company’s expectations about capital expenditures during 2009; that the Company
may in the future incur additional repurchase obligations as a result of dealer
floor plan financing defaults; the Company’s belief that the fall in prices of
many commodities used as raw materials for its manufacturing processes may lead
to lower material costs during the remainder of 2009; the Company’s expectations
regarding market risk of its investment portfolio; and the Company’s expectation
about the effect of litigation on the Company’s financial position or results of
operations. The words “may,” “should,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,”
“anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “seek,” “project,” “estimate,” and
similar expressions used in this document that do not relate to historical facts
are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are based
on certain assumptions and analyses made by our management in light of its
experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected
future developments and other factors it believes to be appropriate. We caution
you that such statements are only predictions and not guarantees of future
performance and that actual results, developments and business decisions may
differ from those envisioned by the forward-looking statements. Risk
factors that could cause such future events not to occur as expected include the
following: economic conditions, unavailability of credit and possible decreases
in the level of consumer confidence impacting discretionary spending, business
interruptions due to adverse weather conditions, increased interest rates,
unanticipated changes in consumer demand and preferences, deterioration in the
quality of Marine Products’ network of independent boat dealers or availability
of financing of their inventory, our ability to insulate financial results
against increasing commodity prices, the impact of rising gasoline prices and a
weak housing market on consumer demand for our products, competition from other
boat manufacturers and dealers, and insurance companies that insure a number of
Marine Products’ marketable securities have recently been downgraded, which may
cause volatility in the market price of Marine Products’ marketable securities.
Additional discussion of factors that could cause the actual results to differ
materially from management’s projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations
is contained in Marine Products’ Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company
does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Marine
Products does not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes and, as of
March 31, 2009, did not hold derivative financial instruments that could expose
the Company to significant market risk. Also, as of March 31, 2009,
the Company’s investment portfolio, totaling approximately $46.1 million and
comprised primarily of municipal debt securities, is subject to interest rate
risk exposure. This risk is managed through conservative policies to invest in
high-quality obligations that are both short-term and long-term in
nature. Because Marine Products’ investment portfolio mix has been
allocated towards securities with similar term maturities compared to the end of
fiscal year 2008, the risk of material market value fluctuations is not expected
to be significantly different from the end of fiscal year 2008 and the Company
currently expects no such changes through the remainder of the current
year.

ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls
and procedures - The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to its management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the
end of the period covered by this report, March 31, 2009 (the “Evaluation
Date”), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with
the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its
disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer initially concluded that the
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable
assurance level as of the Evaluation Date.
In
connection with the amendment to the Company’s financial statements described in
the introductory Explanatory Note and Items 1 and 2 of Part I of this Amendment
No. 1, the Company re-evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of
its disclosure controls as of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 31,
2009. In connection therewith, the Company identified a material
weakness in internal control over financial reporting. As disclosed
in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in this amended
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company has restated the financial statements
for the quarters ended March 31, 2009, June 30, 2009, and September 30, 2009, to
correct misclassifications in the reporting of certain dealer incentive
costs. The restatement relates to the classification of certain
dealer incentive costs that were recorded as selling, general and
administrative expenses rather than as a reduction in net sales. The
identification of these misclassifications arose during the annual financial
statement audit. Because of this material weakness, the Company
concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective as of the Evaluation Date.
Although
the Company believes that it had designed effective controls related to
accounting for dealer incentive costs as of the end of each quarter, the
operating effectiveness of these controls was inadequate. In order to improve
the operating effectiveness of these controls, the Company implemented extensive
and comprehensive technical accounting reviews of these dealer incentive
costs. In March 2010, management determined the appropriate
classification of the aforementioned dealer incentive costs and believes
the reinforced monitoring and review will remediate this material
weakness.
Changes in internal control over
financial reporting – Other than as set forth in this Form 10-Q/A,
management’s evaluation of changes in internal control did not identify any
changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control
over financial reporting.
