NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

|
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, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.
|
|
The balance sheet at December 31, 2010 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, 2010.
|
|
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.

|
|
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
|
There have been no new accounting pronouncements issued during the three months ended March 31, 2011 that are expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. In addition, please refer to the recent accounting pronouncements described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 for the pronouncements adopted in the first quarter of 2011; none of which had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
|
FASB ASC Topic 260-10 “Earnings Per Share- Overall,” requires a basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share presentation. Certain amendments to ASC 260-10 require that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, be considered participating securities and included in the calculation of its basic earnings per share.
7
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company has periodically issued share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are therefore considered participating securities.
The basic and diluted calculations differ as a result of the dilutive effect of stock options and time lapse 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 income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods.
A reconciliation of weighted average shares outstanding along with the earnings per share attributable to restricted shares of common stock (participating securities) is as follows:

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations and consequently the common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of the corresponding diluted loss per share because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

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 were no realized gains or losses during the three months ended March 31, 2011 or 2010 and no reclassification of realized gains or losses from other comprehensive income.
Gross unrealized gains (losses) on marketable securities are as follows:

Municipal obligations consist primarily of municipal notes rated A1/P1 or higher ranging in maturity from less than 12 months to four years. Corporate backed obligations consist primarily of debentures and notes issued by other companies ranging in maturity from one to four years. These securities are rated BBB or higher.

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 primarily provide for the return of repossessed boats to the Company in new and unused condition subject to normal wear and tear as defined, 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. There were no repurchases of inventory under contractual agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2011 or during the year ended 2010.
Management continues to monitor the risk of additional defaults and resulting repurchase obligations 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.
During the third quarter of 2009, an amendment to the current agreement with one of the Company’s floor plan lenders was executed with a contractual repurchase limit of $9.0 million effective January 1, 2009 which expired June 30, 2010. Effective July 1, 2010, this agreement was further amended to change the contractual repurchase limit to not exceed 15 percent of the amount of the average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for dealers during the prior 12 month period. The Company has contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of approximately $6.5 million, with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year, for an aggregate repurchase obligation with all financing institutions of approximately $10.9 million as of March 31, 2011.

INCOME TAXES
|
The Company determines its periodic income tax provision (benefit) based upon the current period income and the annual estimated tax rate for the Company adjusted for any change to prior period estimates. The estimated tax rate is revised, if necessary, as of the end of each successive interim period during the fiscal year to the Company’s current annual estimated tax rate.
For the first quarter of 2011, the income tax expense reflects an effective tax rate of 20.7 percent, compared to an effective tax benefit of 15.8 percent for the comparable period in the prior year. The change in the effective rate was due primarily to pre-tax income in the current period compared to a pre-tax loss in the comparable period last year in addition to the relationship of our annual estimated pretax income (loss) to permanent differences between book and taxable income including tax-exempt interest earned on municipal securities.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
|
The various inputs used to measure assets at fair value establish a 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:
1. Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
2. Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
3. Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 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. Many 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, 2010 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.
Our unit production and sales were higher during the first quarter of 2011 compared to the first quarter of 2010 as well as the fourth quarter of 2010. We are operating at higher production levels in response to stable dealer demand. Operating income increased significantly compared to the prior year due to higher net sales and gross profit, which was in part due to slightly lower retail incentive costs as a percentage of net sales, and increased efficiencies due to higher production levels. Dealer inventories are higher at March 31, 2011 than at this time last year because of our dealers’ willingness and ability to accept inventory in anticipation of customer sales opportunities during the retail selling season.
18
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
OUTLOOK
The discussion on the outlook for 2011 is incorporated herein by reference from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.
Management believes that net sales will increase moderately in 2011 compared to 2010 and that our operating results will improve. This belief is based on indications that the downturn in recreational boating has ended, and the fact that our dealer inventories are at manageable levels. We believe that although our dealers’ inventory levels have increased, they are appropriate for the current retail selling season. We also believe that these dealer inventory levels will allow us to increase production in the event of an increase in demand during the upcoming retail selling season. Attendance and sales during the recent winter boat show season were moderately higher than in 2010. Our operating results should moderately improve due to higher volumes and an improved gross margin from improved production efficiencies and cost absorption, although this improvement will be partially offset by increases in materials costs.
We do not believe that retail sales will increase significantly in 2011 due to a slow recovery from the recession, continued high unemployment, depressed real estate values and continued weak consumer confidence. We believe that these factors tend to discourage consumers from purchasing large discretionary goods such as pleasure boats. In addition, residential real estate remains weak and fuel prices are much higher than at this time last year. Over the long term, the recent financial crisis may have long-term effects on consumer behavior with regard to pleasure boating. In such a case, consumers may not purchase boats, may purchase boats later in their lives, or may purchase smaller, less expensive boats. Over the past several years, Marine Products as well as other manufacturers have been improving their customer service capabilities, marketing strategies and sales promotions in order to attract more consumers to recreational boating as well as improve consumers’ boating experiences. In addition, the recreational boating industry began a promotional program several years ago which involves advertising and consumer targeting efforts, as well as other activities designed to increase the potential consumer market for pleasure boats. Many manufacturers, including Marine Products, are participating in this program. Management believes that these efforts will benefit the industry and Marine Products. As in past years, Marine Products enhanced the design of a number of boats for the 2011 model year which began on July 1, 2010. For this model year, Marine Products is producing slightly more models with more standard features and fewer options, as well as utilizing a manufacturing process for certain models which allows several interior options to be fabricated separately, thus allowing the Company and its dealers to optimize inventory requirements while meeting retail demand.
Our financial results in 2011 will depend on a number of factors, including interest rates, consumer confidence, the availability of credit to our dealers and consumers, fuel costs, the continued acceptance of our new products in the recreational boating market, our ability to compete in the competitive pleasure boating industry, and the costs of certain of our raw materials and key components. We anticipate that the Company will continue to be challenged.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2011 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased $2.7 million or 10.8 percent compared to the comparable period in 2010. The increase in net sales was due primarily to a 4.6 percent increase in the number of boats sold and lower retail incentive costs as a percentage of net sales together with a 6.4 percent increase in the average gross selling price per boat. Unit sales increased among our sportboard, outboard, and sport fishing boat product lines compared to the prior year due to increased dealer demand for several smaller models as well as new larger units in these product lines. Average gross selling price per boat increased primarily due to the change in model mix in our SSi and SSX Sportboats and Cuddy Cabins, and Robalo product lines during the current period. Also contributing to the increase in net sales was slightly lower retail incentive costs as a percentage of sales as rebates are trending toward more normal levels. In the first quarter of 2011, sales outside of the United States accounted for 18.1 percent of net sales compared to 25.1 percent of net sales in the prior year. While international sales decreased by 20.2 percent during the quarter compared to the prior year due to continued economic instability, domestic sales increased by 21.2 percent compared to the consolidated net sales increase of 10.8 percent.

MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $22.7 million compared to $21.0 million for the comparable period in 2010, an increase of $1.7 million or 8.0 percent. Cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, decreased primarily as the result of higher sales, lower retail incentive costs as a percentage of net sales, and increased efficiencies due to higher production levels during the first three months of 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010. Production levels were higher in response to improved retail demand for new models and lower dealer inventories of non-current models. This improvement in gross margin was partially offset by increases in costs of materials and certain key components.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were $3.9 million compared to $3.8 million for the comparable period in 2010, an increase of $0.1 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased primarily due to leverage of fixed costs over higher net sales. Warranty expense was 2.1 percent of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 2.6 percent in the prior year due primarily to significantly lower claims and higher net sales during the first quarter of 2011.
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased $1.1 million compared to the comparable period in 2010. The increase in operating income was primarily due to higher net sales and gross profit in the first quarter of 2011 compared to the prior year.
Interest income was $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $0.3 million for the comparable period in 2010. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average investment balance coupled with lower market returns on the Company’s debt investments compared to the prior year.
Income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $174 thousand compared to an income tax benefit of $15 thousand for the comparable period in 2010. The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2011 reflects an effective tax rate of 20.7 percent compared to an effective tax benefit of 15.8 percent for the prior year. The change in the effective rate was due primarily to pre-tax income in the current period compared to a pre-tax loss in the comparable period last year in addition to the relationship of our annual estimated pretax income (loss) to permanent differences between book and taxable income including tax-exempt interest earned on municipal securities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2011 were $6.0 million. In addition, the aggregate of short-term and long-term marketable securities were $49.8 million at March 31, 2011 compared to $42.8 million at December 31, 2010. The following table sets forth the cash flows for the applicable periods:

$ | (368 | ) | $ | (192 | ) |
Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased approximately $1.7 million compared to the comparable period in 2010. This increase is the result of higher net income during the first quarter of 2011 partially offset by higher working capital requirements during 2011 consistent with higher production volume and sales.
Cash used for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased approximately $8.8 million compared to the comparable period in 2010 due to increased purchases of marketable securities in the current period as a result of improved cash flows.
Cash used for financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased approximately $0.2 million primarily due to a higher stock repurchases associated with the vesting and release of restricted stock offset by a higher excess tax benefits for share-based payments and minimal proceeds received from exercise of stock options.
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 by operations will provide sufficient capital to meet the Company’s requirements for at least 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.
22
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Cash Requirements
The Company currently expects that capital expenditures during 2011 will be approximately $0.3 million, of which $33 thousand has been spent through March 31, 2011.
The Company participates in a multiple employer Retirement Income Plan, sponsored by RPC, Inc. (“RPC”). During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company made a contribution of $100 thousand to this plan in order to achieve the Company’s funding objective. The Company does not currently expect to make any additional contributions to this plan for the remainder of 2011.
As of March 31, 2011, the Company has purchased a total of 4,925,157 shares in the open market under the Company stock repurchase program and there are 3,324,843 shares that remain available for repurchase. The Company did not repurchase any shares under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
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, 2011 and 2010.
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 to the Company in a new and unused condition as defined, 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. There were no repurchases of dealer inventory during the three months ended March 31, 2011.
Management continues to monitor the risk of additional dealer 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. As of March 31, 2011, the Company believes the fair value of its remaining guarantee liability is immaterial. See further information regarding repurchase obligations in Note 7 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
23
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
During the third quarter of 2009, an amendment to the current agreement with one of the Company’s floor plan lenders was executed with a contractual repurchase limit of $9.0 million effective January 1, 2009 which expired June 30, 2010. Effective July 1, 2010, this agreement was further amended to change the contractual repurchase limit to not exceed 15 percent of the amount of the average net receivables financed by the floor plan lender for dealers during the prior 12 month period. The Company has contractual repurchase agreements with additional lenders with an aggregate maximum repurchase obligation of approximately $6.5 million, with various expiration and cancellation terms of less than one year, for an aggregate remaining repurchase obligation with all financing institutions of approximately $10.9 million as of March 31, 2011.
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, 2010. RPC charged the Company for its allocable share of administrative costs incurred for services rendered on behalf of Marine Products totaling approximately $192 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $152 thousand in the three months ended March 31, 2010. The Company’s liability to RPC for these services was approximately $30 thousand as of March 31, 2011 and $65 thousand as of December 31, 2010.
The Company has cash held at a bank branch, which is affiliated with one of our executive officers who is also a director. The Company had a cash balance at this bank of $4,250,000 at March 31, 2011 and of $7,927,000 at December 31, 2010 with interest income earned on collected balances totaling $30,690 during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and $17,210 during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
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, 2010. There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies since year-end.
IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 2 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.
24
MARINE PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
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.
INFLATION
The market prices of certain material and component costs used in manufacturing the Company’s products, especially resins that are made with hydrocarbon feedstocks, copper and stainless steel, have been extremely volatile since the third and fourth quarters of 2008. The prices of these commodities fell dramatically due to the global recession and financial crisis in late 2008. During 2009, these commodity prices began to rise, and continued to rise throughout 2010. By the end of 2010, the prices of some of these commodities, such as copper, were higher than the peak market prices reached during 2008. These increased commodity prices are likely to lead to higher materials costs in 2011. Since competition for retail sales remains very high in 2011, we cannot be confident that the Company will be able to institute sufficient price increases to its dealers to compensate for these increased materials costs. It is likely that these increased commodity prices will negatively impact the Company’s operating results in 2011 compared to 2010.
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 or credit is not available to finance boat purchase.

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 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, 2010. 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, 2011, did not hold derivative financial instruments that could expose the Company to significant market risk. Also, as of March 31, 2011, the Company’s investment portfolio, totaling approximately $49.8 million and comprised primarily of municipal and corporate 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 2010, the risk of material market value fluctuations is not expected to be significantly different from the end of fiscal year 2010 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, 2011 (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 (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a – 15(e)). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a – 15(e)) were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the Evaluation Date.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting - 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.
