POWIN CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements


Note 1 – Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Company was originally named Powin Corporation (“Powin” or the “Company”) and was formed as an Oregon corporation on November 15, 1990 by Joseph Lu, a Chinese-American.  Since its incorporation, Powin has grown into a large original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) utilizing six plants on two continents.  Powin provides manufacturing coordination and distribution support for companies throughout the United States (“U.S”).  More than 2,000 products and parts are supplied by Powin on a regular basis.


Basis of Preparation


The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete annual financial statement presentation.


In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations have been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.  Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the other interim periods or for the full year then ended December 31, 2011.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities Exchange Commission.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


For purposes of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, the Company had no cash equivalents.


Inventory


Inventory consists of parts and equipment including electronic parts and components, furniture, rubber products, plastic products and exercise equipment.  Inventory is valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.  The Company capitalizes applicable direct and indirect costs incurred in the Company’s manufacturing operations to bring its products to a sellable state.  The following table represents the Company’s inventories at each of the indicated balance sheet dates.

Note 1 – Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment assets are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the asset.  Leasehold improvements for space leased on a month-to-month basis are expensed when incurred.  Expenditures for renewals and betterments are capitalized.  Expenditures for minor items, repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred.  Any gain or loss upon sale or retirement due to obsolescence is reflected in the operating results in the period the event takes place.  Depreciation expense for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $48,774 and $85,802, respectively.  Depreciation expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $141,496 and $178,523, respectively.


Intangible Assets


Intangible assets consist of costs associated with the application and acquisition of the Company’s patents and trademarks.  Patent application costs are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the patent, which generally approximates its legal life.  The Company did not have any amortization expense for the three and  six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets


The Company periodically reviews the carrying amounts of its property, equipment and intangible assets to determine whether current events or circumstances indicate that such carrying amounts may not be recoverable.  If the carrying amount of the asset is greater than the expected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by such asset, an impairment adjustment is to be recognized.  Such adjustment is measured by the amount that the carrying value of such assets exceeds their fair value.  The Company generally measures fair value by considering sale prices for similar assets or by discounting estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate.  Considerable management judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of assets; accordingly, actual results could vary significantly from such estimates.  Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of their financial statement carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.  The Company determined that its long-lived assets as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were not impaired.


Revenue Recognition


The Company will recognize revenue on arrangements in accordance with FASB ASC No. 605, “Revenue Recognition”.  In all cases, revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed and determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service is performed and collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.  Most of the Company’s products are imported from China and shipped directly to the customer either FOB Port of Origin or FOB Shipping Destination U.S.  If the product is shipped FOB Port of Origin revenue is recognized at time of delivery to the Company’s representative in China, when the proper bills-of-lading have been signed by the customer’s agent and ownership passed to the customer.  For product shipped FOB Shipping Destination U.S., revenue is recognized when product is off-loaded at the U.S. Port of Entry and delivered to the customer, when all delivery documents have been signed by the receiving customer, and ownership has passed to the customer.  For product shipped directly to the Company’s warehouse or manufactured by the Company in the U.S. then shipped to the customer, revenue is recognized at time of shipment as it is determined that ownership has passed to the customer at shipment and revenue is recognized.  The Company considers the terms of each arrangement to determine the appropriate accounting treatment.  Amounts billed to customers for freight and shipping is classified as revenue.


For orders placed by a customer needing customized manufacturing, the Company requires the customer to issue its signed Purchase Order with documentation identifying the specifics of the product to be manufactured.  Revenue is recognized on customized manufactured product at completion and shipment of the product.  If the customer cancels the Purchase Order after the manufacturing process has begun, the Company invoices the customer for any manufacturing costs incurred and revenue is recognized.  Orders canceled after shipment are fully invoiced to the customer and revenue is recognized.


Cost of Goods Sold


Cost of goods sold includes cost of inventory sold during the period net of discounts and allowances, freight and shipping costs, warranty and rework costs, and sales tax.

Note 1: Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


Advertising


The Company expenses the cost of advertising as incurred.  For the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the amount charged to advertising expense was $23,565 and $6,879, respectively.  Advertising expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 were $76,827 and $25,775, respectively.


Income Taxes


The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of such assets and liabilities.  This method utilizes enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse and gives immediate effect to changes in income tax rates upon enactment.  Deferred assets are recognized, net of any valuation allowance, for temporary differences and net operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred income tax expense represents the change in net deferred assets and liability balances.


Earnings Per Common Share


Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (including shares reserved for issuance) during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding and all dilutive potential common shares that were outstanding during the period.


As of June 30, 2011 and 2010, there were 11,031,758 and 11,031,758 warrants outstanding and 6,009 and 5,332 convertible Preferred shares, respectively (convertible to 1,201,800 and 1,066,400 Common Shares) that are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share however, the dilutive shares had no impact to earning per share.


Foreign Currency Transaction


In February 2011, the Company entered into a joint venture establishing a new company in Mexico under which the Company will hold an 85% majority interest.  All transactions are translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting purposes.  Balance Sheet accounts are translated at the end-of-month or historical rates while income and expenses are translated at the average of the beginning of the month rate and the end of the month rate.  Transaction gains or losses related to net assets are shown as a separate component of shareholders’ equity as accumulated other comprehensive income.  At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the cumulative translation adjustment was $84,415 and zero, respectively.  Gains and losses resulting from realized foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency other than the entities’ functional currency) are included in other comprehensive income.  For the three-month period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the foreign currency translation adjustment to other comprehensive income was $84,428 and zero, respectively.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the foreign currency translation adjustment to other comprehensive income was $84,415 and zero, respectively.


Note 2:  Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


In October 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance that amends earlier guidance addressing the accounting for contractual arrangements in which an entity provides multiple products or services (deliverables) to a customer. The amendments address the unit of accounting for arrangements involving multiple deliverables and how arrangement consideration should be allocated to the separate units of accounting, when applicable, by establishing a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable. The selling price used for each deliverable will be based on vendor-specific objective evidence if available, third-party evidence if vendor-specific objective evidence is not available, or estimated selling price if neither vendor-specific nor third-party evidence is available.  The amendments also require that arrangement consideration be allocated at the inception of an arrangement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2:  Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements (Continued)


In October 2010, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends earlier guidance for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. Tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality are no longer within the scope of guidance for recognizing

revenue from the sale of software, but would be accounted for in accordance with other authoritative guidance.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier application permitted.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.


In January 2010, the FASB issued revised authoritative guidance that requires more robust disclosures about the different classes of assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the valuation techniques and inputs used, the activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, and the transfers between Levels 1, 2 and 3. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010 (which is January 1, 2011 for the Company) except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.   


Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years (which is January 1, 2011 for the Company).  Early application is encouraged.  The revised guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements.


In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new accounting standard on fair value measurements that clarifies the application of existing guidance and disclosure requirements, changes certain fair value measurement principles and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.  The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is not permitted.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this accounting guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.


In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income.  The new guidance allows an entity to present components of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement, referred to as the statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate, but consecutive statements.  The new guidance eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  While the new guidance changes the presentation of comprehensive income, there are no changes to the components that are recognized in net income or other comprehensive income from that of current accounting guidance.  This new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  Upon adoption, the Company will present its consolidated financial statements under this new guidance.  The Company does not expect the adoption of this accounting guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.


Note 3:  Concentration of Credit Risk


At June 30, 2011, three customers accounted for 68% of the Company’s trade receivables, with no amounts in excess of 90 day past due.  At December 31, 2010, these same three customers accounted for 57% of the Company’s trade receivables with no amounts in excess of 90 days past due.  Trade accounts receivable past due over 90 days at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, were $870,991and $407,971 respectively.  Management does not normally require collateral for trade accounts receivable.  The Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $308,195 and $347,744, respectively.


For the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, the Company purchased a substantial portion of its supplies and raw materials from three suppliers, which accounted for approximately 76% of total purchases.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, these same three suppliers accounted for 74% of total purchases.  Further; in 2010, the Company was required to make deposit payments to vendors for products being imported from Europe.  For the six-month period ended June 30, 2010, deposit payments paid were $369,409, no additional deposit payments have been paid during the six-month period ended June 30, 2011.


The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions but retains a certain amount of exposure as cash is held primarily with two financial institutions and deposits are only insured to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000.


The Company maintains its cash in bank accounts, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Note 4:  Bank Line-of-Credit


At December 31, 2010 the Company had a short-term operating line-of-credit with a bank with maximum borrowings available of $1,750,000, with a maturity date of March 1, 2011.  In February 2011 the Company requested an extension, which was granted, so it could renegotiate its banking facility’s terms and fees.  On March 24, 2011 the Company signed a new banking facility with the same bank for a two-year $2,000,000 line-of-credit with a maturity date of May 15, 2013 and, like the previous line-of-credit, the new line is not personally guaranteed by any board member or stockholder but is secured by all receivables, inventory and equipment.  Further, interest on the previous operating line-of-credit was indexed to the prime rate plus one-half point and was 3.75% at December 31, 2010, the new line-of-credit is indexed to the prime rate less three-fourth point and was 2.50% at June 30, 2011.  The Company’s operating line-of-credit outstanding balances as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were zero, respectively.


The Company’s operating line-of-credit is subject to negative and standard financial covenants.  The negative covenants restrict the Company from incurring any indebtedness and liens except for trade debt incurred in the normal course of doing business; such as, borrow money including capital leases; sell, mortgage, assign, pledge, lease, grant security interest in, or encumber any of the Company’s assets or accounts; engage in any business substantially different than in which the Company is currently engaged; loan, invest or advance money or assets to any other person, enterprise or entity.  Other standard financial covenants consist of; current ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 tested at the end of each quarter; total liabilities to capital ratio of 2.50 to 1.00 tested at the end of each year; operating cash flow to fixed charge ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 tested at the end of each year.  As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.


In June 2011, the Company entered into a five-year revolving equipment loan with the same bank that holds the Company’s operating line-of-credit facility, with maximum borrowings available of $500,000, with a maturity date of June 21, 2016.  The interest rate on this equipment loan is fixed at 3.05%.  The proceeds of this equipment loan will be used to upgrade old outdated equipment and to add new state-of-the-art metal manufacturing equipment to the Company’s QBF and Mexico segments.  At June 30, 2011, the Company had taken no draws against its equipment loan.


Note 5:  Stock Options


The Company records stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and the stock incentive plan in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”.


On June 15, 2011, the Company has granted awards in the form of incentive stock options to its key employees for up to 1,170,000 shares of common stock.  Awards are generally granted with an exercise price that approximates the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant.


The stock-based compensation expense was included in general and administrative expense in the amount of $5,396.  ASC 718. “Compensation-Stock Compensation” requires that only the compensation expense expected to vest be recognized.


The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table.  The expected volatility is based on the daily historical volatility of comparative companies, measured over the expected term of the option.  The risk-free rate is based on the implied yield on a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issue with a remaining term closest to the expected term of the option.  


The dividend yield reflects that the Company has not paid any cash dividends since inception and does not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.  


The following assumptions were used to determine the fair value of the options at date of issuance on June 15, 2011:

Item 2.

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


Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements


This information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 18, 2011, and the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report.


References to “Powin,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Powin Corporation and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise specifically defines.


Overview


Powin Corporation has relationships with various manufacturers in China and Taiwan that manufacture a variety of products for the Company’s U.S. customers which they sell and distributed throughout the U.S.  The Company’s customer base includes distributors in the transportation, medical, sports, camping, fitness, packaging and furniture industries.  


Critical Accounting Policies


Our discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.


The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  We base our estimates on historical and anticipated results, trends, and various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, including assumptions as to future events. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  By their nature, estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. Actual results may materially differ from our estimates.

Results of Operations (Continues)


Consolidated net revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, were down 12.5% or approximately $1.8 million from the same period of 2010.  The Company’s OEM segment net revenues decreased 12.3% or approximately $1.6 million, the QBF segment net revenues decreased 8.8% or approximately $97 thousand, the Maco segment net revenues decreased 35% or approximately $45 thousand and the Wooden segment net revenues decreased 39.1% or approximately $64 thousand.  The Company’s OEM segment sales are down primarily due to one customer which lost one of their major national chain store customers in June 2011, impacting OEM June sales by approximately $3 million.  The OEM management is working with its customer, and its vendor, to offer better margins that may be passed on and, to help attract additional opportunities for this OEM customer.  Further, the Company’s management also feels that once again the un-certainty in the economy is impacting the Company’s OEM customers and may continue into this year’s third and fourth quarters.  The Company’s QBF segment’s decrease in sales is related to its primary customer not increasing its orders to the levels expected in this first and second quarters of 2011 and, as reported in the Company’s report on FORM 10-Q dated March 31, 2011, QBF had to take a 25% reduction in its pricing in 2010, which had a negative impact to QBF’s first quarter sales which is continuing to impact this segment’s sales.  The Company’s management is continuing to negotiating with QBF and its primary customer to return pricing back to 2010 levels, but if the Company’s management is not successful, QBF will continue to experience negative impacts coming from its primary customer.  However, as announced on July 7, 2011, the QBF segment signed a program with a new customer (LiteSolar) which is a major installer of carports structures that incorporate solar and energy devices which are installed throughout Oregon, Hawaii, California and Louisiana.  The Wooden segment (name change to Powin DC) sales are down primarily due to one of the OEM’s segment customers loosing a customer which that customer used the warehousing services of Powin DC.  The Maco segment’s net revenue decrease is primarily due to continued slow demand for the MACO furniture line on the west coast and this segment’s east coast program is not expected to materialize until the third and fourth quarters of 2011.


However, the MACO segment continues to show net losses in its operations and management cannot assure that this segment can continue to be a going concern.


The new segments the Company created in 2010 and 2011, CPP, PRER (now Powin Energy), Gladiator or joint-ventured, Mexico and RealForce are still in the start-up stages, but are due to start showing returns in the Company’s third and fourth quarters of 2011.


Consolidated cost of sales are down 12.7% or approximately $1.6 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, when compared with the same period in 2010.  As a percent of net revenue, consolidated cost of sales was 88.4% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to 88.6% for the same period in 2010.


Consolidated gross profits decreased approximately $177 thousand, but as a percent of net revenues gross profit was 11.6% for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to 11.4% for the same period in 2010.


Consolidated operating expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, increased 31.7% or approximately $322 thousand from the same period in 2010, primarily due to the Company’s investments in its new segments.  As a percent of net revenues, operating expenses for the three-month period ended June 30, 2011, was 10.5% compared to 7% for the same period in 2010.  The following table is reflective of the changes in operating expenses in dollars and percentage of change for the three-month periods ended March 31.

Results of Operations (Continued)


Consolidated net revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, were down 3% or approximately $723 thousand from the same period of 2010.  The Company’s OEM segment net revenues decreased 6.3% or approximately $1.4 million, the QBF segment net revenues increased 37.4% or approximately $678 thousand dollars, the Maco segment net revenues decreased 29.6% or approximately $70 thousand dollars and the Wooden segment net revenues decreased 6.9% or approximately $14 thousand.  As reported above the primary decrease in sales of the OEM segment is primarily due to one customer which lost one of their major national chain store customers in June 2011 impacting OEM June sales by approximately $3 million. The Company’s QBF segment’s very favorable increase in net revenues is related to a new product it manufactured for a new customer that was sold throughout Costco stores during the month of January 2011, bringing new sales of $775 thousand to the segment.  However, QBF’s primary customer has not increased its orders to the levels expected for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 and, QBF is also continuing to be negatively impacted by the 25% reduction in its pricing take by this customer in 2010, leaving the core sales of this segment flat when compared to 2010.  As reported above the Company’s management is negotiating with QBF and its primary customer to return pricing back to 2010 levels, but if the Company’s management is not successful, QBF will continue to experience negative impacts to its sales in 2011 by approximately $225 thousand dollars per quarter.  As reported above however, the Company announced on July 7, 2011, the QBF segment has signed a program with a new customer (LiteSolar), which is a major installer of carport structures that incorporate solar and energy devices which are installed throughout Oregon, Hawaii, California and Louisiana and will be discussed further in PART II under Other Information.  The Maco segment’s net revenue decrease is primarily due to continued slow demand for the MACO furniture line on the west coast; therefore, the Company’s management entered into an agreement to have the MACO furniture line sold and distributed through furniture distributors on the east coast, where management believes 75% of all U.S, furniture is sold and this program is not expected to materialize until the Company’s third and fourth quarters of 2011.  


However, the MACO segment continues to show net losses in its operations and management cannot assure that this segment can continue to be a going concern.


The new segments the Company created in 2010 and 2011, CPP, PRER (now Powin Energy), Gladiator or joint-ventured, Mexico and RealForce are still in the start-up stages, but are due to start showing returns in the Company’s third and fourth quarters of 2011.


Consolidated cost of sales are down 4.2% or approximately $906 thousand dollars for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, when compared to the same period in 2010, and is expected due to the Company’s decrease in net revenues.  However, as a percent of net revenue, consolidated cost of sales was 87.3% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to 88.4% for the same period of 2010.


Consolidated gross profits increased $183 thousand but as a percent of net revenues total gross profit was 12.7% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to 11.6% for the same period in 2010.


In February 2011, the Company entered into a joint venture establishing a corporation in Mexico whereby Powin Corporation owns 85% of the corporation, with organizational operations and general management processes started.  The Mexico segment will serve as a metal manufacturer to support the Freightliner Corporation’s Mexico operation as well as seek out other metal manufacturing opportunities with other truck and automobile manufacturers in Mexico.  For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, there have been no sales or cost of sales and all operating cost are included in operating expense.

 

Consolidated operating expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, increased 45% or approximately $884 thousand from the same period in 2010, primarily due to the Company now accruing for certain annual costs, which until 2010 was not a practice of the company; such as bonus compensation accruals of $338 thousand compared to 167 thousand accrued in the same period of 2010 and, the Company recorded royalty expenses of $170 thousand and commissions of $43 thousand related to the QBF segment’s new customer mentioned above.  Further, the Company has increased operating expense because of its new segment activities in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011 of $516 thousand.  As a percent of net revenues, operating expense for the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, was 12%, compared to 8% for the same period of 2010.  However, allowing for the bonus accrual increase and the additional new segment operating expense, operating expenses as a percent of revenues would have been 9.1%, compared to 8% for the same period in 2010.  The following table is reflective of the changes in operating expenses and percentage of change for the six-month period ended June 30.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


The Company finances its operations primarily through cash flows generated from operations and borrowings from the Company’s line-of-credit.  For the sixe-month period ended June 30, 2011, cash used by operating activities was $601 thousand compared to $22 thousand provided by operating activities during the same period in 2010.  Cash used in investing activities was $287 thousand in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, to replace manufacturing equipment, compared to $185 thousand used in investing activities in the same period of 2010, to replace equipment.  The Company did not require and did not use cash from financing activities in the six-month period ended June 30, 2011, compared to cash used from financing activities including net repayments of $650 thousand to pay off the Company’s existing credit lines in the same period of 2010.


The ratio of current assets to current liabilities was 1.85 at June 30, 2011, compared to 2.19 at December 31, 2010.  Quick liquidity (current assets minus inventories divided by current liabilities) was 1.29 at June 30, 2011 compared to 1.53 at December 31, 2010.  At June 30, 2011, the Company had working capital of $6.5 million compared to working capital of $6.5 million dollars at December 31, 2010.  Average day’s sales outstanding on trade accounts receivable at June 30, 2011, was 47 days compared to average days sales outstanding of 45 days at December 31, 2010.


As discussed above, the Company on March 24, 2011 entered into a new line-of-credit with a bank with maximum borrowing capacity of $2,000,000.  The maturity date for the Company’s new line-of-credit is May 15, 2013.  The line-of-credit is secured by all receivables, inventory and equipment and, like the previous lines of credit, the new facility is not personally guaranteed by the Company’s majority stockholder or any shareholder.  Interest is the prime rate less three-fourth percent, which currently was 2.50% as of June 30, 2011.  Interest on the prior line-of-credit was the prime rate plus one-half percent.  The outstanding balances at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were zero, respectively.


The Company’s line-of-credit is subject to negative and standard financial covenants.  The negative covenants restrict the Company from incurring any indebtedness and liens except for trade debt incurred in the normal course of doing business such as: borrow money including capital leases; sell, mortgage, assign, pledge, lease, grant security interest in, or encumber any of the Company’s assets or accounts; engage in any business substantially different than what the Company is currently engaged; and, loan, invest or advance money or assets to any other person, enterprise or entity.  Other standard financial covenants consist of; current ratio of 1.25 to 1.00 tested at the end of each quarter; total liabilities to capital ratio of 2.50 to 1.00 tested at the end of each year; and operating cash flow to fixed charge ratio of not less than 1.25 to 1.00 tested at the end of each year.  At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 the Company was in compliance with all covenants.


In June 2011, the Company entered into a five-year revolving equipment loan with the same bank that holds the Company’s operating line-of-credit facility, with maximum borrowings available of $500,000, with a maturity date of June 21, 2016.  The interest rate on this equipment loan is fixed at 3.05%.  The proceeds of this equipment loan will be used to upgrade old outdated equipments and to add new state of the art metal manufacturing equipments to the Company’s QBF and Mexico segments.  At June 30, 2011, the Company had taken no draws against its equipment loan.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)


The Company’s management believes the current cash and cash flow from operations, including its line-of-credit and revolving equipment loan, will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash needs, including cash for working capital and capital expenditures in the foreseeable future.  However, the Company may require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions or to take advantage of other future developments, which may require the Company to seek additional cash by selling additional equity securities or debt securities.  The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to the company’s stockholders.  The incurrence of additional indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity.


The Company’s ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties  including: investors’ perception of, and demand for, securities of alternative manufacturing media companies; conditions of the U.S. and other capital markets in which we may seek to raise funds; and future results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.  Therefore, the Company’s management cannot assure that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company, if at all.  Any failure by the Company’s management to raise additional funds on terms favorable to the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity and financial condition.

As of and for the three-months ended June 30, 2011, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

In June 2011, at the Shareholders’ meeting, the Shareholders ratified the POWIN 2011 employee stock option plan (“the Plan”), whereby of the Company’s 600,000,000 common shares authorized, 30,000,000 common shares have been dedicated to the Plan.  Following the meeting in June, the Company issued stock options to thirty-nine employees totaling 1,170,000 stock options issued, with 184,000 stock options fully vested.  At June 30, 2011, no stock options have been exercised.


The Company will value the stock option awards estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-price model.  The expected term of the awards granted represents the period of time the awards are expected to be outstanding.  As the Company has only been a public company since March 31, 2010 and the Company’s stock has only traded since September 2010, expected volatility is based on historical volatility, for a period consistent with the expected option term of peer publicly-traded companies.  The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury bond rates with maturities equal to the expected term of the option on the grant date.  With respect to employees being grated stock options, the Company’s turnover rate is zero; therefore, the Company has no data to use as a base to estimate the probability of forfeiture.


The fair value of options granted during the three and six month period ended June 30, 2011, were determined using the following weighted average assumptions.
