Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

U.S. Home Systems, Inc. (the “Company” or “U.S. Home”), a Delaware corporation, is engaged in the specialty product home improvement business. The Company manufactures or procures, designs, sells and installs custom quality specialty home improvement products. The Company’s principal product lines include kitchen and bathroom cabinet refacing products, storage organization systems for closets and garages, and related accessories.

The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries as of March 31, 2011 and for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows. All intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company’s accounting policies require it to apply methodologies, estimates and judgments that have significant impact on the results reported in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a discussion of those policies that management believes are critical and requires the use of complex judgment in their application. There have been no material changes to the Company’s accounting policies, or the methodologies or assumptions applied under them, since December 31, 2010.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including accounts receivable, marketable securities and accounts payable, approximate fair value due to their short term nature.

Accounts Receivable-trade

Trade accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from The Home Depot. Trade accounts receivable are reported net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company provides for estimated losses of uncollectible accounts based upon specific identification of problem accounts and expected default rates based on historical default rates. An allowance for doubtful accounts is established through a provision for bad debt charged against income. The Company charges off accounts against the allowance when deemed to be uncollectible. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance.

Investments

At March 31, 2011, the Company’s short-term investments consist of bond mutual funds which are classified as trading. Trading securities are recorded at fair value based on significant other observable inputs which are considered Level 2 securities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized $2,915 and $18,986, in interest earnings and an unrealized holding gain of $0 and $12,346, respectively. These amounts are included in “Other income” in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The equity method of accounting is used to account for investments in affiliated companies in which the Company does not exercise control and has a 20% or more voting interest. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company’s share of loss from affiliated entities was approximately $1,000 and $3,000, respectively, and is included in the Company’s consolidated operating results. The Company’s initial investment of $195,000, reduced by its share of losses and increased by its share of income, to approximately $189,000 is included in “Other assets” on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2011. At December 31, 2010, the carrying value of the investment was approximately $190,000.

Goodwill

The amount of goodwill at March 31, 2011 is $3,589,870. Goodwill is not amortized to expense. However, the Company is required to test goodwill for impairment at least on an annual basis or more often if an event or circumstance indicates that an impairment or decline in value may have occurred. The Company performed an impairment test as of December 31, 2010. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company determined that additional changes in market conditions did not necessitate updating the Company’s December 31, 2010 analysis.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Warranties

In addition to the manufacturers’ warranties for defective materials, the Company provides each customer a limited warranty covering defective materials and workmanship. The estimated costs related to warranties are accrued at the time products are sold, based on various factors, including the Company’s stated warranty policies and practices, the historical frequency of claims, and the cost to replace or repair its products under warranty. Warranty expenses are included in the cost of remodeling contracts. The following table provides a reconciliation of the activity related to the Company’s accrued warranty expense.

Other Intangible Assets

The Company capitalizes costs incurred to renew or extend the terms of its intangible assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company did not incur any costs to renew or extend its franchise agreement, which is classified as an intangible asset and included in “Other assets” in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2011.

3. Information About Segments

Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s current reporting segment consists only of the home improvement business. In the home improvement business, the Company manufactures or procures designs, sells and installs custom kitchen and bathroom cabinet refacing products, laminate and solid surface countertops and organization storage systems for closets and garages. The Company’s products and installed services are marketed exclusively through The Home Depot under a service provider agreement (SPA), which terminates on February 25, 2014, and a product supply agreement (“PSA”) related to The Home Depot’s Do-It-Yourself program (“DIY”), which terminates on December 31, 2013.

In January 2010, the Company initiated a new expansion program with The Home Depot to provide products and services to The Home Depot customers in certain markets which are much smaller in size than the major metropolitan areas in which the Company previously operated. In support of this expansion into these smaller markets, the Company is utilizing independent contractors for the sales, installation and service of its home improvement products (the “SCN Network”). In addition, the Company will utilize the SCN Network to serve certain The Home Depot stores which are more remote to its sales and installation centers to better penetrate these markets.

In January 2010, the Company began to offer its kitchen refacing products in conjunction with the DIY program. Under the DIY program the customer, or their designated contractor, completes the installation of the Company’s kitchen refacing products.

Revenues attributable to each of the Company’s product lines are as follows (in thousands):

3. Information About Segments (Continued)

 

All of the Company’s home improvement revenues are from The Home Depot and are subject to seasonal trends. The generation of new orders for the Company’s products typically declines in the last six weeks of the year during the holiday season, which negatively impacts first quarter revenues and net income. Extreme weather conditions in the markets the Company serves occasionally impact revenues and net income.

4. Fair Value

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as a price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, generally accepted accounting principles establish a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value as follows:

 

Level 1 —

  Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 —

  Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 —

  Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The Company measures cash equivalents at fair value using quoted market prices and marketable securities at fair value using other inputs that are directly observable in the marketplace.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are as follows:

Frost Loan Agreement

The Company has a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Frost National Bank (“Frost Bank”). The Loan Agreement as amended provides for a borrowing base line of credit (the “Borrowing Base Line of Credit”) and a term loan (the “Term Loan”). The Loan Agreement and related notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the Company’s subsidiaries are guarantors.

Term Loan – On March 31, 2011, the Company paid off and retired the Term Loan. The Term Loan was payable in monthly principal payments of $27,778, plus accrued interest at the prime rate plus 1.25% maturing on August 10, 2013. The outstanding balance of the Term Loan was approximately $889,000 at December 31, 2010.

Borrowing Base Line of Credit – The Borrowing Base Line of Credit allows for borrowings up to $2 million for working capital. Borrowings and required payments under the Borrowing Base Line of Credit are based on an asset formula using accounts receivable and inventory. At March 31, 2011, the Company had no balance outstanding under the Borrowing Base Line of Credit and a borrowing capacity of $2,000,000. Interest on the Borrowing Base Line of Credit is payable monthly on the unpaid balance at the prime rate plus 1.25%. The Borrowing Base Line of Credit matures on December 2, 2011, at which time any outstanding principal and accrued interest is due and payable.

The Company’s credit facility contains covenants which require the Company to maintain a tangible net worth of at least $13.5 million, a debt to adjusted tangible net worth ratio of less than 1.25 to 1, a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1, and a quick ratio of more than 1 to 1, excluding current maturities of the Term Loan. In addition, the Company’s credit facilities contain other covenants, which among other matters, (i) limit the Company’s ability to incur indebtedness, merge, consolidate and sell assets; (ii) limit the company from making any acquisition which requires in any fiscal year $1.0 million cash or $2.0 million of cash and non-cash consideration; and (iii) limit the amount of the Company’s stock that can be repurchased after August 19, 2010 to $500,000. The Company is in compliance with all restrictive covenants at March 31, 2011.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Other Taxes

The Company is subject to audits in various jurisdictions from time to time for taxes, including sales and use tax, payroll tax, gross receipts tax and property tax. The Company is currently engaged in audit proceedings in a certain state related to sales and use tax. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for all of the obligations for these taxes; however, the Company may be subject to additional sales and use tax obligations, penalties and interest assessments beyond the amount currently accrued at March 31, 2011. Accordingly, additional provisions may be recorded in the future as revised estimates are made or underlying matters are settled or resolved.

Litigation

On January 20, 2010, the Company entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement in settlement of a certain class action lawsuit pending against the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The Company agreed to a payment of $1,800,000 plus applicable payroll taxes to settle the lawsuit. The Company recorded a liability for the settlement in the fourth quarter of 2009. $500,000 of the settlement was paid in March 2010 and the remainder was paid in August 2010.

The Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome of pending litigation and threatened lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty, if decided adversely to or settled by the Company, individually or in the aggregate, the outcome may result in a liability material to the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations. However, at this time, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not materially affect the consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

8. Capitalization

On March 13, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of the Company’s outstanding stock up to $2 million. Any repurchase under the Company’s stock repurchase program may be made in the open market, at such times and such prices as the Company may determine appropriate. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company did not repurchase any shares under the stock repurchase program. Cumulative repurchases under this authorization through March 31, 2011 were 376,018 shares, at a cost of approximately $1,111,000, of which 335,850 shares were cancelled and reclassified as authorized and unissued shares on June 5, 2009. Shares of common stock repurchased by the Company are recorded at cost as treasury stock and result in a reduction of stockholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets until retired.

The Company’s credit facility contains certain covenants which among other matters limit the amount of common stock the Company may purchase under the program after August 19, 2010 to $500,000. There have been no repurchases of common stock under the program subsequent to August 19, 2010.

9. Income Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net income per share for the periods indicated:

 

     Three months ended
March  31,
 
             2011                      2010          

Income applicable to common stockholders

   $ 560,473       $ 364,633   
                 

Weighted average shares outstanding – basic

     7,175,127         7,136,846   

Effect of dilutive securities

     181,613         35,429   
                 

Weighted average shares outstanding – diluted

     7,356,740         7,172,275   
                 

Net income per share basic and diluted

   $ 0.08       $ 0.05   
                 

The calculation of diluted net income per share excludes all anti-dilutive shares. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 approximately 40,000 and 203,000 common stock equivalents, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted net income per share, because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2011 included herein, and our audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, and the notes to these financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Except for the historical information contained herein, certain matters set forth in this report are forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current expectations, estimates and projections about our business and operations. Our actual results may differ materially from those currently anticipated and as expressed in such forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are engaged in the specialty product home improvement business. In our home improvement business, we manufacture or procure, design, sell and install custom kitchen and bathroom cabinet refacing products and organizational storage systems for closets and garages. We market, sell and install our products and installed services exclusively through The Home Depot under a service provider agreement (“SPA”) and a product supply agreement (“PSA”).

In January 2010 we initiated a new program to expand the number of markets in which we serve The Home Depot. These additional markets, which comprise approximately 400 The Home Depot stores, are generally much smaller in size than the major metropolitan areas in which we operate. We intend to operate in these smaller markets through outsourcing to local independent contractors the selling, installation and service of our home improvement products, rather than open our own branch sales and installation center in the market (the “SCN” program). We believe the utilization of a network of independent contractors will be more economical to us than opening and staffing our own sales and installation centers in these smaller markets. In addition to these new markets, we believe the utilization of the SCN program in certain markets where The Home Depot stores are more remote to the location of our branch sales and installation center will result in greater market penetration in both the remote markets and the market area served by our branch. As of March 31, 2011, our SCN network served 356 The Home Depot stores, 191 of which are in 14 new expansion markets. Within 12 - 15 months, we expect to expand into substantially all of the markets encompassing the additional 400 The Home Depot stores identified for our expansion program.

Also in January 2010, we began to offer our kitchen refacing products in conjunction with The Home Depot’s customer Do-It-Yourself (“DIY”) program. Under the DIY program, our refacing products are available for purchase by The Home Depot customers or their designated installation contractor and the customer or their designated installation contractor completes the installation of the home improvement project. In-store kitchen refacing displays provide information as to the availability of our products in conjunction with The Home Depot’s DIY program. At March 31, 2011, the DIY program was available in all 1,976 U.S. The Home Depot stores.

Excluding the DIY program, at March 31, 2011 our home improvement business served The Home Depot in 60 markets covering 35 states. Our installed kitchen refacing products were available in all 60 markets encompassing approximately 1,815 The Home Depot stores.

During the first quarter 2011, we expanded our bath product offering to 109 The Home Depot stores. At March 31, 2011 our installed bath products are currently offered in 23 markets, which include approximately 676 The Home Depot stores.

Management’s Summary of Results of Operations.

For the three months ended March 31, 2011, revenues increased 17.7% to $38,990,000 from $33,127,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase in revenues reflected an increase in demand principally in our kitchen refacing and countertop product line. New orders in the first quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased 25.5% to $43,187,000, from $34,403,000 in the first quarter last year.

Demand for kitchen refacing products continues to improve following changes we implemented last year, including The Home Depot’s inclusion of the cabinet refacing category in their new national kitchen marketing strategy, “A Solution for Every Kitchen – Replace, Reface, Renew”, improvements to our in-store marketing program which better align our program with The Home Depot marketing strategy and launch of our kitchen refacing internet micro-site.

We believe that these efforts, including contributions from our DIY and SCN market expansion programs, have all contributed to the increase in new orders and resulting revenues.

During the first quarter 2011, we continued to be challenged by the credit decline rate for our and The Home Depot customers. Approximately 85% of our customers elect to utilize financing products, provided principally through The Home Depot, to fund their home improvement project. Customers must qualify under these programs to receive financing. Though the credit decline rate improved 70 basis points in the first quarter 2011 to 17.4%, as compared with 18.1% in the first quarter 2010, the decline rate remains significantly higher than our historical 7.0% average. Management is continuing to seek financing alternatives for our customers to improve the financing approval rate.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $20,808,000 or 53.3% of revenues, as compared with $18,432,000 or 55.6% of revenues in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue declined principally due to higher sales mix of revenues sourced through our SCN and DIY programs. However, as we expected, gross profit margin as a percentage of revenues increased sequentially from 51.6% in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2010 as special sales promotions ended and price increases were realized in the first quarter 2011. In 2010 we participated with The Home Depot in special sales pricing promotions on cabinet refacing and countertop products.

Net income was $560,000, or $0.08 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011, as compared with $365,000, or $0.05 per share in the same period last year.

Kitchen refacing and countertops – Revenues from kitchen refacing and countertop products increased 19.2% to $36,294,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $30,441,000 in the same period last year. The increase in revenues principally resulted from an increase in demand.

New orders for kitchen and countertop products were $40,099,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $31,431,000 in the same period last year. The increase reflects an increase in the number of customer appointments resulting from marketing initiatives and improvement in the economic environment.

Bathroom refacing – Revenues from bathroom refacing products were $1,940,000 in the first quarter 2011 as compared with $1,613,000 in the first quarter 2010. The increase in revenues reflected a 37.3% increase in new orders to $2,379,000 in the first quarter 2011 from $1,733,000 in the same quarter last year. The increase in new orders is principally due to increased marketing activities generating an increase in the number of customer appointments. In addition, during the first quarter 2011, we expanded the bath program into 109 The Home Depot stores.

Organization Systems – Revenues from organization systems products were $756,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $1,057,000 in the prior year period. New orders for organization systems products were $709,000 and $1,239,000, respectively.

Gross profit for the first quarter 2011 was $20,808,000 or 53.3% of revenues, as compared with $18,432,000 or 55.6% of revenues in the same period last year. Gross profit as a percentage of revenue declined principally due to higher sales mix of revenues sourced through our SCN and DIY programs.

Branch operating expenses were $1,921,000, or 4.9% of revenues in the first quarter 2011, as compared to $1,962,000, or 5.9% of revenues in the first quarter last year. Branch operating expenses are primarily comprised of fixed costs associated with each of our sales and installation centers, including rent, telecommunications, branch administration salaries and supplies.

Marketing expenses were $9,308,000 or 23.9% of revenues in the first quarter 2011 as compared with $7,977,000 or 24.1% of revenues in the first quarter last year. Marketing expenses consist primarily of marketing fees we pay to The Home Depot on each sale, commissions we pay to a third party in-store service provider on each sale in which the customer lead was originated by them, advertising, and personnel costs related to administration of our in-store marketing program and our marketing center. Marketing expense in dollar terms increased principally due to marketing fees and commissions payable to The Home Depot and our third party in-store service provider as a result of higher revenues. However, marketing expense as a percentage of revenues declined, principally resulting from a lower effective cost associated with our in-store marketing initiatives.

During 2010 we initiated several changes to our marketing programs, including The Home Depot’s inclusion of the cabinet refacing category in their new national kitchen marketing strategy, “A Solution for Every Kitchen and Budget – Replace, Reface, Renew”, improvements to our in-store marketing program which better align our program with The Home Depot marketing strategy and launch of our kitchen refacing internet micro-site. We believe these improvements yielded a more balanced and effective marketing program resulting in increased revenues and lowering our cost of marketing.

Sales expenses, which consist primarily of sales commissions and bonuses, sales manager salaries, sales materials, and travel and recruiting expenses, were $5,535,000, or 14.2% of revenues for the first quarter 2011, as compared to $5,093,000, or 15.4% of revenues in the prior year first quarter. The decrease in sales expense as a percentage of revenue is due to leverage of fixed selling expenses on higher revenues. Sales expenses in dollar terms increased principally as a result of higher commissions and incentives on higher revenues ($319,000) and higher payroll taxes and benefit costs ($130,000).

General and administrative expenses were $3,090,000, or 7.9% of revenues in the first quarter 2011, as compared to $2,753,000, or 8.3% of revenues in the first quarter last year. The decrease in general and administrative expense as a percentage of revenue is primarily due to leverage on higher revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our liquidity needs through cash flows from operations, borrowing under bank credit agreements and proceeds from the sale of common stock. At March 31, 2011, we had approximately $6,755,000 in cash and cash equivalents and $806,000 in marketable securities. Working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $15,497,000 at March 31, 2011 as compared to $15,150,000 at December 31, 2010.

Net cash utilized in operations was $402,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $240,000 in the same period last year. Cash utilized in operations reflected an increase in accounts receivable of $2,176,000 in the first quarter 2011 and $1,568,000 in the same period last year. The increase in receivables reflects higher revenues at the end of the each respective period.

In the first quarter 2011 we utilized $145,000 for capital expenditures, principally consisting of machinery, equipment, computer hardware and software and furniture and fixtures. Capital expenditures in the first quarter 2010 were $92,000. We generated approximately $163,000 in proceeds from issuance of common stock upon the exercise of stock options.

On March 13, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program for up to $2.0 million of our outstanding stock. Any repurchase under our stock repurchase program may be made in the open market at such times and such prices as we may determine appropriate. Cumulative repurchases under this authorization through March 31, 2011 were 376,018 shares at a cost of approximately $1,111,000. During the first quarter 2011 we did not repurchase any shares under this program. In the first quarter last year we repurchased approximately $32,000 of our common stock under the program.

During the first quarter 2011 we utilized $889,000 to pay off and retire our term loan. The term loan was payable in monthly principal payments of $27,778, plus accrued interest at the prime rate plus 1.25%. We believe that we have a sufficient cash balance and line of credit so that it was financially sound to retire the debt.

We have a line of credit under our loan agreement with Frost National Bank (the “Borrowing Base Line of Credit”). The Borrowing Base Line of Credit was renewed in September 2010. The Borrowing Base Line of Credit allows for borrowings up to $2 million for working capital. Borrowings and required payments under the Borrowing Base Line of Credit are based upon an asset formula involving accounts receivable and inventory. At March 31, 2011 we had no balance outstanding under the Borrowing Base Line of Credit and had a borrowing capacity of $2,000,000. Interest on the Borrowing Base Line of Credit is payable monthly on the unpaid balance at the prime rate plus 1.25%. The Borrowing Base Line of Credit matures on December 2, 2011, at which time any outstanding principal and accrued interest is due and payable.

The Frost credit facility contain covenants, which among other matters, (i) limit our ability to incur indebtedness, merge, consolidate and sell assets; (ii) limit us from making any acquisition which requires in any fiscal year $1.0 million cash or $2.0 million of cash and non-cash consideration; and (iii) limit the amount of the Company’s stock that can be repurchased after August 19, 2010 to $500,000. In addition, the credit facility contains covenants which require us to maintain a tangible net worth of at least $13.5 million, a debt to adjusted tangible net worth ratio of less than 1.25 to 1, a debt service coverage ratio of not less than 1.5 to 1, and a quick ratio of more than 1 to 1 (excluding current maturities of the Term Loan). As of March 31, 2011, our tangible net worth was $17,797,318, debt to adjusted tangible net worth was 0.5 to 1, the debt service coverage ratio was 87.4 to 1 and the quick ratio was 1.8 to 1. We are in compliance with all restrictive covenants at March 31, 2011.

We operate principally in leased facilities, and in most cases, management expects that leases currently in effect will be renewed or replaced by other leases of a similar nature and term. Escalation charges imposed by lease agreements are not significant.

In connection with our agreement with The Home Depot, we may open sales and installation centers as we enter new markets or we may utilize our SCN program to expand into additional markets. If we open facilities, it would require expenditures for facility improvements, machinery, furniture and fixtures, inventory, product displays,

sales kits and requires cash to fund operating losses during the initial months following the opening of a facility. In addition, our agreement with The Home Depot may provide opportunities to introduce additional products in markets we serve. Introducing additional products requires expenditures customarily associated with rolling out products in new territories.

We believe that the current economic environment is improving. We believe we will be successful in executing our initiatives and that we will have sufficient cash, including cash generated by operations, and borrowing capacity under our credit facilities to meet our anticipated working capital needs for our current operations over the next twelve months, and that such capacity will be adequate to fund the expansion of our operations under our agreement with The Home Depot for the next 12-18 months. However, if we need additional capital to execute our business strategy or fund our operations, we may have to issue equity or debt securities. If we issue additional equity securities, the ownership percentage of our stockholders will be reduced. If we borrow money, we may incur significant interest charges which could reduce our net income. Holders of debt or preferred securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our common stock. However, additional financing may not be available to us, or if available, such financing may not be on favorable terms.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies, refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which includes a summary of the significant accounting policies and methods used by us in the preparation of our financial statements. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting policies discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or variable interest entities, or VIEs, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of March 31, 2011, we are not involved in VIE or off-balance sheet transactions.

 

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We may be subject to financial market risks from changes in short-term interest rates since our credit facility contains an interest rate that varies with interest rate changes in the Prime rate. However, we currently have no outstanding balance under our credit facility. If we were to borrow funds under our credit facility we believe that these rates would have to increase significantly for the resulting adverse impact on our interest expense to be material to our results of operations.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), the Company’s management has carried out an evaluation, with the participation and under the supervision of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2011. Disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management conducted its evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures under the supervision of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Based upon such evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2011, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the first fiscal quarter of 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the ultimate outcome of pending litigation and threatened lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty, an unfavorable outcome could have a negative impact on the Company and its financial condition and results of operations. However, at this time, the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for fiscal 2010 as filed with the SEC. There have not been any substantive changes to the Risk Factors described in our 2010 Form 10-K. These risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Our operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or by factors that we currently consider immaterial to our business.

 

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During the first quarter 2011, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock. Our current common stock repurchase program was announced on March 18, 2008. Our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 million of the Company’s common stock. Any repurchase of common stock under our stock repurchase program may be made in the open market at such time and such prices as our CEO may from time to time determine. The program does not have an expiration date. Cumulative repurchases under this program through March 31, 2011 were 376,018 shares at a cost of approximately $1,111,000. Our Frost Bank credit facilities contain certain covenants, which among other matters, limit the amount of our stock that can be repurchased after August 19, 2010 to $500,000. There have been no repurchases of our common stock subsequent to August 19, 2010.
