MEDICAL ACTION INDUSTRIES INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2011

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Medical Action Industries Inc. (“Medical Action” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q for quarterly reports under section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses reported in those financial statements as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. These judgments can be subjective and complex, and consequently, actual results could differ from those estimated. Significant estimates made by the Company include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, fair value of stock-based compensation, income taxes, valuation of long-lived assets, accrued sales incentives and rebate reserves. A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies is identified in Note 1 “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Users of financial information produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the notes contained in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K when reviewing interim financial results. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies or to the assumptions and estimates involved in applying these policies. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All dollar amounts presented in our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands, except share and per share data.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of consolidated annual and quarterly financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We have made a number of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. We can give no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. Some of the more significant estimates include allowances for trade rebates and doubtful accounts, realizability of inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, product liability, pensions and other postretirement benefits and environmental and litigation matters.

Table of Contents

There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Note 1 “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Goodwill Impairment Testing

Goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step approach. Initially, the fair value of a reporting unit is compared to its carrying amount. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit; a second step of comparing the carrying amount to its implied fair value is required, as this is an indication that the reporting unit goodwill may be impaired. The new standard sets forth a requirement that the second step test must be performed in circumstances where a reporting unit has a zero or negative carrying amount and there are qualitative factors, such as those used to determine whether a triggering event would require an interim goodwill impairment test, which indicate that it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. The new standard is effective for Annual Reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010, which for us was April 1, 2011. Currently, none of our reporting units have a zero or negative carrying amount. As a result, the adoption of this standard will not have an immediate impact on the manner in which we conduct our impairment testing.

Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2009-13, which will update Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 605, Revenue Recognition, and changes the accounting for certain revenue arrangements. The new standard sets forth requirements that must be met for an entity to recognize revenue from the sale of a delivered item that is part of a multiple-element arrangement when other items have not yet been delivered and requires the allocation of arrangement consideration to each deliverable to be based on the relative selling price. ASU 2009-13 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in the fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, which for us was April 1, 2011. The adoption of this new accounting standard is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 4. Inventories

Inventories, which are stated at the lower of cost (determined by means of the first in, first out method) or market, consist of the following:

Total Inventories, net

   $ 53,530       $ 54,674   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

On a continuing basis, inventory quantities on hand are reviewed and an analysis of the provision for excess and obsolete inventory is performed based primarily on the Company’s sales history and anticipated future demand. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory amounted to approximately $1,453 at June 30, 2011 and $1,415 at March 31, 2011.

Note 5. Business Acquisition

On August 27, 2010, the Company completed its acquisition of AVID Medical Inc. (“AVID”), a provider of custom procedure trays to the healthcare industry, in which the Company acquired the outstanding shares of common stock of AVID for $62,550. The purpose of this acquisition is to expand our product line offering into custom procedure trays to augment our existing product classes and expand our market presence in clinical care areas of acute care facilities and surgery centers throughout the country.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to AVID’s net tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values as of August 27, 2010. The Company recorded the excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets as goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price shown in the table below was based upon management’s preliminary valuation, which is based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to change. The Company is in the process of finalizing these estimates and assumptions, which are primarily related to property and equipment and income taxes. As of June 30, 2011, the preliminary estimated purchase price is allocated as follows:

Note 6. Related Party Transactions

As part of the assets and liabilities acquired as a result of the AVID acquisition, the Company assumed a capital lease obligation for the AVID facility located in Toano, VA. The facility, which includes a 185,000 square foot manufacturing and warehouse building and approximately 12 acres of land, is owned by Micpar Realty, LLC (“Micpar”). AVID’s founder, former CEO and principal shareholder, is a part owner of Micpar and subsequent to the acquisition of AVID was appointed to the Company’s board of directors and entered into an employment agreement with the Company on August 27, 2010.

(a) On October 17, 2006, the Company entered into a credit agreement with certain lenders and a bank acting as administration agent for the lenders (the “Prior Credit Agreement”). On August 27, 2010, the Company agreed to amend and restate the Prior Credit Agreement in its entirety and enter into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides for total borrowings of up to $110,000, consisting of (i) a secured term loan with a principal amount of $80,000 and (ii) a revolving credit facility, which amounts may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed up to $30,000. The Credit Agreement was amended as of June 28, 2011 to adjust certain covenants and financial ratios.

Table of Contents

The term loan was used by the Company to repay an existing term loan provided for in the Prior Credit Agreement and to fund the acquisition of AVID. The revolving credit facility, which expires August 27, 2014, will be used to finance the working capital needs and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries and for permitted acquisitions. Principal payments on the term loan are due and payable in 18 consecutive quarterly installments of $4,000 on the last day of each March, June, September and December thereafter, with the final payment due on August 27, 2015. Both the term loan and revolving credit facility bear interest as established by the Credit Agreement. The average interest rate on the term loan approximated 3.25% and 2.34%, during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and the average interest rate on the revolving credit facility approximated 5.25% and 3.50%, during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company’s availability under the revolving credit facility amounts to $23,450 as of June 30, 2011.

Borrowings under this agreement are collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company, and the agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, which, among other matters, impose limitations with respect to the incurrence of liens, guarantees, mergers, acquisitions, capital expenditures, specified sales of assets and prohibits the payment of dividends. The Company is also required to maintain various financial ratios which are measured quarterly. As of June 30, 2011, the Company is in compliance with all such covenants and financial ratios.

 

(b) Amounts payable represent principal payments due in connection with the issuance and sale by The Buncombe County Industrial Facilities and Pollution Control Financing Authority of its $5,500 Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (Medical Action Industries Inc. Project), Series 1997 (the “Bonds”). Principal payments are due and payable in 60 consecutive quarterly installments of $90 commencing October 1, 1998 and ending July 1, 2013 with a final maturity payment of $190. The Bonds bear interest at a variable rate, determined weekly. The average interest rate on the Bonds approximated 0.40% and 0.50%, during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Note 9. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Company has various stock-based compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 11 “Stockholders’ Equity and Stock Plans” of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

Note 10. Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes as a percentage of pretax earnings from continuing operations (“effective tax rate”) was 38.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to 38.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2010. Generally, fluctuations in the effective tax rate are primarily due to changes in state taxes.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, we recognize in our financial statements only those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not-recognition threshold. We establish tax reserves for uncertain tax positions that do not meet this threshold. Interest and penalties associated with income tax matters are included in the provision for income taxes in

our consolidated statements of operations. Our accrual for interest and penalties was $21 upon adoption of ASC 740 and at June 30, 2011.

Note 11. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding without consideration of potential common shares. Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding. The calculation takes into account the shares that may be issued upon exercise of stock options, reduced by the shares that may be repurchased with the funds received from the exercise, based on the average prices during the periods. Excluded from the calculation of earnings per share are options to purchase 1,218,687 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 783,682 shares for the three months ended June 30, 2010, as their inclusion would not have been dilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted net earnings per share computations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Note 12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

Accounts Receivable

The carrying amount of trade receivables reflects net recovery value and approximates fair value because of their short outstanding terms.

Accounts Payable

The carrying amount of trade payables approximates fair value because of their short outstanding terms.

Current Portion of Long-Term Debt

The carrying value of our current portion of long-term debt equals fair market value because the interest rate reflects current market rates.

Long-Term Debt

The fair value of our long-term debt is estimated based on quoted market prices or current rates offered to us for debt of the same remaining maturities.

Note 13. Extraordinary Loss

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred an extraordinary pre-tax loss of $1,455 relating to inventories damaged as a result of weather-related water damage. The inventories damaged were predominantly patient bedside disposables and did not negatively impact the Company’s service levels with respect to this product class. The Company is currently in negotiations for reimbursement of damages. However, we cannot provide any assurances that any portion of the loss will be covered under our insurance policies or our insurance brokers. Furthermore, any reimbursement of loss associated with the claims submitted under these insurance policies is subject to a deductible of $500.

Note 14. Other Matters

The Company is involved in multiple product liability cases, which are covered by insurance. While the results of these lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect that the ultimate liabilities, if any, will have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.

Overview

We manufacture and market single-use medical products used principally by acute care facilities within the United States. Our product lines are divided into two markets, Clinical Care and Patient Care. Our Clinical Care market includes custom procedure trays, minor procedure kits and trays, operating room disposables and sterilization products. Our Patient Care market includes patient bedside products, containment systems for medical waste and laboratory products.

Our market approach encompasses ongoing strategic relationships with group purchasing organizations (“GPO’s”), integrated delivery networks (“IDN’s”), acute care facilities, surgery centers, clinical decision makers and procurement managers within acute care facilities, national and regional distributors and other end users of our products. Over the previous two years we have implemented an internal structure to support a market presence which encompasses; i) a marketing team comprised of product line managers for each of our key product categories, ii) an Executive Health Services team, that directly maintains our relationship with GPO’s and IDN’s, iii) seven regional managers who supervise both Clinical Care and Patient Care sales representatives and maintain relationships with larger acute care facilities and iv) seventy one sales representatives which maintain a direct presence with the end users of our products and manage compliance levels on GPO and IDN contracts. While we view the end users of our products as the critical decision point driving our market penetration approximately 86% of our products are sold through two national distributors.

Our growth strategy has included both acquisitions and expansion of existing product lines. On August 27, 2010, we acquired AVID Medical Inc. (“AVID”) which markets and assembles custom procedure trays. AVID’s net sales were $33,597 for the three months ended June 30, 2011. We had previously made both custom and standard minor procedure kits and trays. The acquisition of AVID significantly expanded our product line offerings within the Clinical Care market, increased our sales team and provided opportunities to cross sell our existing product lines. We have supply agreements with substantially every major GPO and IDN in the country including Novation, Premier and MedAssets. A majority of the acute care facilities that we sell to belong to at least one GPO. The supply agreements we have been awarded through these GPO’s designate the Company as a sole-source or multi-source provider for substantially all of our product offerings. We consider our relationships with the GPO’s and IDN’s that we conduct business with to be valuable intangible assets. The supply agreements with GPO’s and IDN’s typically have no minimum purchase requirements and terms of one to three years that can be terminated on ninety days advance notice. While the acute care facilities associated with the GPO’s and IDN’s are not obligated to purchase our product offerings, many of these supply agreements have resulted in unit sales growth for the Company. We were recently recognized for performance excellence by the two largest GPO’s in the healthcare industry, Novation and Premier. Acute care facility orders purchased through our supply agreements with these two GPO’s accounted for $32,209 or 30% of our total net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Over time we have increased revenues both organically and via acquisition. At this time we have focused our resources on increasing sales within existing product lines and continuing synergy initiatives associated with the AVID acquisition to drive organic sales growth.

Table of Contents

We source our products from our four production facilities in the United States and from foreign suppliers, principally based in China. Our domestic production facilities and foreign suppliers have sufficient capacity to meet current product demand.

We conduct injection molding production and blown film production in our Gallaway, Tennessee and Clarksburg, West Virginia facilities, respectively. We conduct minor procedure kit and tray assembly operations and custom procedure tray assembly operations in our Arden, North Carolina and Toano, Virginia facilities, respectively. The principal raw materials used in the production of our product lines include resin and cotton. Our production facilities consume approximately 45 million pounds of resin, namely polypropylene and polyethylene, per annum. Cotton is purchased by our foreign suppliers and converted into finished products, principally operating room towels and laparotomy sponges. We purchase finished goods that contain approximately 11 million pounds of cotton per annum.

The challenging economic environment of the past three years has negatively impacted hospital utilization, placed adverse economic pressure on acute care facilities and fostered volatility in commodity prices. These factors have impacted our revenues, average selling prices and gross margins. We have addressed these conditions by expanding our product lines, investing in our sales and marketing teams, managing our operating costs and differentiating ourselves in the market by emphasizing our ability to add value to our customers by improving their patient outcomes. We remain committed to being a trusted strategic partner to our customers known for delivering innovative solutions to the healthcare community to improve the quality of care and enhancing patient experiences.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, we reported revenues of $106,473 and $66,796, respectively. Our net income and earnings per diluted share during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $263 or $0.02 per diluted share, and $496 or $0.03 per diluted share, respectively. Net income during the three months ended June 30, 2010 was adversely affected by weather-related water damage to an offsite warehouse of $1,455.

Net sales were $106,473 and $66,796 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in net sales includes $33,597 in sales of custom procedure trays acquired through the AVID acquisition. Excluding the custom procedure tray products we experienced an overall increase in net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2011 of $6,080. The increase in net sales, excluding custom procedure tray products, was comprised of an increase in the average selling prices of our products in the amount of $379, and an increase in unit sales in the amount of $5,701. The increase in average selling prices resulted principally from price increases implemented on our operating room disposable products. These increases were partially offset by declining average selling prices on our containment systems for medical waste and patient bedside disposable products. These declines resulted principally from competitive pressures, the renewal of certain GPO supply agreements and a change in mix of products purchased by our customers. The increase in unit sales was predominantly attributable to higher domestic market penetration within our patient bedside disposable and operating room disposable products.

During the three months ended June 30, 2010 our net sales were $66,796 which compares unfavorably to net sales reported during the three months ended September 30, 2010, December 31, 2010, March 31, 2011, and June 30, 2011, excluding custom procedure trays, of $71,810, $71,373, $71,048, and $72,876, respectively. The lower sales volume during the first quarter of fiscal 2011 was the result of ordering patterns by distributors during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, competitive pressures and the renewal of a GPO contract for patient bedside disposable products from a sole source to a dual source which resulted in lower sales prices and a reduction in units sold.

Gross profit was $16,972 and $12,538 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, representing an increase of $4,434 or 35.4%. Gross profits as a percentage of net sales were 15.9% during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 18.8% during the three months ended June 30, 2010. Increased sales volume of $33,597 in sales of custom procedure trays acquired through the AVID acquisition increased gross profits. However, we experienced a decline in gross profits on our remaining product lines within our Clinical Care market as well as product lines within our Patient Care market of $1,406 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decline in gross profits was attributable to the mix of products sold and an increase in costs of raw materials resulting from rising global commodity prices. These increased costs were partially offset by increases in pricing to our customers and improved productivity in our manufacturing facilities.

Resin-related product lines which include containment systems for medical waste, patient bedside disposable products and laboratory products product lines, represent approximately 36% of the Company’s revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2011. The primary raw material utilized in the manufacture of these products is plastic resin. We have experienced volatility in resin costs consistent with global market prices of oil during the past several years. In any given year we may purchase approximately 45 million pounds of resin. Our gross margins during the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 were unfavorably impacted by $1,738 due to higher resin prices.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we imported approximately $15,504 of finished goods and certain raw materials from overseas vendors, principally China. Our main imports are operating room products, which include operating room towels and laparotomy sponges, minor procedure kits and trays and surgical instruments used in our minor procedure kits and trays and certain containment products and patient bedside disposable products that we do not produce domestically. The products we have produced in China include cotton and plastic resin as raw materials.

The cost of cotton has increased to record levels over the past year. The cost of cotton on the international market has more than doubled over the past twelve months. While the Company does not directly purchase unfinished cotton and convert the material into finished goods, it is the primary raw material utilized in the production of our operating room towels and laparotomy sponges. The volume of cotton included in these products is estimated to be approximately 11 million pounds per annum. Our gross margins during the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2010 were unfavorably impacted by $1,552 due to higher costs of products sourced from overseas vendors.

In response to the increase in material costs during fiscal 2011 we have implemented price increases on certain cotton and resin based products. We have been limited in our ability to pass all raw material price increases on to our customers. Due to competitive market conditions and indications that cotton prices will start to decline during the latter part of fiscal 2012, we have passed on price increases that we believe will be sustainable. Net sales during the three months ended June 30, 2011 include approximately $700 of price increases to our customers.

Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $15,428 and $10,151 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase of $5,277 or 52.0% is primarily attributable to selling, general and administrative expenses added as a result of the AVID acquisition. Included in our selling, general, and administrative expenses were $265 in various recall-related expenses incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2011. These recalls were for products manufactured by an outside vendor and utilized in some of our kits and trays. Typically, the Company is reimbursed for all recall-related expenses by our outside vendors. However, these expenses were associated with a vendor that has since ceased operations. The Company has submitted a claim for reimbursement of these expenses, however we cannot provide assurances that any portion of these expenses will be reimbursed.

Distribution expenses, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, amounted to $1,876 and $1,736 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase is primarily due to increased labor-related costs, principally overtime expenses. The Company does not classify any expenses as distribution related in our Toano, VA facility added in the AVID acquisition as we utilize a third-party logistics provider for that facility’s supply chain management functions. Such expenses are deemed to be freight-out and are included in cost of sales.

Interest expense amounted to $1,117 and $126 during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The increase in interest expense was attributable to a net increase in average principal loan balances outstanding and an increase in interest rates.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred an extraordinary pre-tax loss of $1,455 relating to inventories damaged as a result of weather-related water damage. The inventories damaged were predominantly patient bedside disposables and did not negatively impact the Company’s service levels with respect to this product line. The Company is currently in negotiations for reimbursement of damages. However, we cannot provide any assurances that any portion of the loss will be covered under our insurance policies or our insurance brokers. Furthermore, any reimbursement of loss associated with the claims submitted under these insurance policies is subject to a deductible of $500.

Income tax expense amounted to $164 and $869 (inclusive of the tax benefit resulting from the aforementioned extraordinary loss) during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Income tax expense as a percent of income before income taxes was 38.5% and 38.4% during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

This was offset by decreases in (i) accounts payable of $2,740 and (ii) accrued expenses, payroll, payroll taxes and other of $2,154.

Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2011 consisted of purchases of property, plant and equipment.

The Company’s credit facilities contain certain covenants and restrictions, which include limitations on capital expenditures. During fiscal 2012, the Company is permitted under the terms of its Credit Agreement, to spend up to $10,000 on capital expenditures per annum.

Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended June 30, 2011 consisted primarily of $324 in net borrowings under our Credit Agreement. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company reduced its term loan by $4,000, which was more than offset by an increase of $4,414 on our revolving credit loan.

The decrease in current liabilities is primarily comprised of a decline in accounts payable of $2,740 and accrued expenses of $2,154.

Borrowing Arrangements

On October 17, 2006, Medical Action entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and the lenders party thereto (the “Prior Lenders”) pursuant to which the Prior Lenders agreed to make certain extensions of credit to the Company. On August 27, 2010, the Company agreed to amend and restate the Prior Credit Agreement in its entirety and entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower, JPMorgan Chase, N.A., as administrative agent, Citibank, N.A., as syndication agent and HSBC Bank USA, N.A., Sovereign Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as co-documentation agents and the other lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”). The Credit Agreement was amended as of June 28, 2011 to adjust certain covenants and financial ratios.

The Credit Agreement provides for an $80,000 secured term loan and a $30,000 secured revolving credit facility. The term loan was used to repay existing term loans provided for in the Prior Credit Agreement and to fund the acquisition of AVID. The revolving credit facility is used to finance the

working capital needs and general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries and for permitted acquisitions. As of June 30, 2011 and August 5, 2011, $68,000 is outstanding on the term loan and $6,550 and $8,219 is outstanding on the revolving credit facility, respectively.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all the assets of the Company, and the agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, which, among other matters, impose limitations with respect to the incurrence of liens, guarantees, mergers, acquisitions, capital expenditures, specified sales of assets and prohibits the payment of dividends. The Company is also required to maintain various financial ratios which are measured quarterly. As of June 30, 2011, the Company is in compliance with all such covenants and financial ratios.

The Company believes that the anticipated future cash flow from operations, coupled with its cash on hand and available funds under its revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements. Although we have borrowing capacity on our revolving credit facility, cash on hand and anticipate future cash flows from operations, we may be limited in our ability to allocate funds for purposes such as potential acquisitions, capital expenditures, marketing, development and other general corporate purposes. In addition, we may be limited in our flexibility in planning for, or responding to, changing conditions in our business and our industry, making us more vulnerable to general economic downturns and adverse developments in our business.

Related Party Transactions

As part of the assets and liabilities acquired from the AVID acquisition, the Company assumed a capital lease obligation for the AVID facility located in Toano, VA. The facility, which includes a 185,000 square foot manufacturing and warehouse building and approximately 12 acres of land, is owned by Micpar Realty, LLC (“Micpar”). AVID’s founder and former CEO, is a part owner of Micpar and subsequent to the acquisition of AVID, was elected to the Company’s board of directors and entered into an employment agreement with the Company on August 27, 2010.

The lease contains provisions for an option to buy after three and five years and expires in March 2029. The effective rate on the capital lease obligation is 9.9%. Total lease payments required under the capital lease for the five-year period ending June 30, 2016 is $7,633.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that would be expected to have a material current or future effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate change market risk with respect to its credit facility with a financial institution which is priced based on the alternate base rate of interest plus a spread of up to 2.50%, or at LIBOR rate plus a spread of up to 3.50%. The spread over the alternate base rate and LIBOR rates is determined based upon the Company’s performance with regard to agreed-upon financial ratios. The Company decides at its sole discretion as to whether borrowings will be at the alternate base rate or LIBOR. At June 30, 2011, $74,550 was outstanding under the credit facility. Changes in the alternate base rates or LIBOR rates during fiscal 2012 will have a positive or negative effect on the Company’s interest expense. Each 1% fluctuation in the interest rate will increase or decrease interest expense for the Company by approximately $746 on an annualized basis.

In addition, the Company is exposed to interest rate change market risk with respect to the proceeds received from the issuance and sale by the Buncombe County Industrial and Pollution Control Financing Authority Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (the “Bonds”). At June 30, 2011, $910 was outstanding for these Bonds. The Bonds bear interest at a variable rate determined weekly. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the average interest rate on the Bonds approximated 0.40%. Each 1% fluctuation in interest rates will increase or decrease the interest expense on the Bonds by approximately $9 on an annualized basis.

A significant portion of the Company’s raw materials are purchased from China. All such purchases are transacted in U.S. dollars. The Company’s financial results, therefore, could be impacted by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign countries in the procurement of such raw materials. To date, sales of the Company’s products outside the United States have not been significant.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, we have not made any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

We continue to review, document and test our internal control over financial reporting and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business. These efforts may lead to various changes in our internal control over financial reporting.
