INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors of

Lochinvar Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Lochinvar Corporation as of November 28, 2010, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lochinvar Corporation as of November 28, 2010, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

LOCHINVAR CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

November 28, 2010

 

(1)	Nature of operations

Lochinvar Corporation (the “Company”) is engaged in the manufacturing and wholesale distribution of commercial and residential water heaters and boilers to various customers located throughout the United States and other international markets.

 

(2)	Summary of significant accounting policies

 

(a)

Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of short-term deposits and highly liquid marketable securities stated at cost which approximates market value.

 

(b)

Receivables and credit policies

Accounts receivable are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms generally requiring payment within 30 days from invoice date. Certain customers have been granted extended payment terms and/or discounts based on certain criteria. Late or interest charges on delinquent accounts are not recorded until collected. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by a valuation allowance, if necessary, which reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. The allowance is estimated based on management’s knowledge of its customers, historical loss experience and existing economic conditions. Accounts receivable and the allowance are written-off when, in management’s opinion, all collection efforts have been exhausted.

 

(c)

Inventories

Inventories consist principally of parts, raw materials and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost being determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

 

(d)

Property and equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using principally the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are amortized over the shorter of their estimated lives or the respective lease term. Computer equipment is depreciated over three years. Furniture, fixtures and all other equipment and tooling are depreciated over four to ten years.

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed when incurred. Expenditures for renewals or betterments are capitalized. When property is retired or sold, the cost and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is included in operations.

Notes to the Financial Statements

November 28, 2010

 

(e)

Realization of long-lived assets

Management evaluates the recoverability of the investment in long-lived assets on an ongoing basis and recognizes any impairment in the year of determination. It is reasonably possible that relevant conditions could change in the near term and necessitate a change in management’s estimate of the recoverability of these assets.

 

(f)

Marketable securities

The portfolio of marketable securities is stated at market value at the balance sheet dates and consists primarily of publicly-traded common stocks. Investment income is accrued as earned. Realized gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method and are reflected in earnings. Market values are determined based on quoted prices.

Marketable securities are classified as available for sale and are carried at market value with the unrealized gain or loss reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

 

(g)

Foreign currency transactions

The Company purchases certain raw materials from overseas vendors and thus is subject to fluctuations in exchange rates among various currencies. The Company recognizes foreign currency transaction gain (loss) in the accompanying statements of operations based upon the difference between the prevailing exchange rate at the time the related liabilities are incurred and when they are settled. The Company recognized a net foreign currency transaction gain of approximately $1,270,000 during 2010. These amounts are included in costs of sales in the accompanying statements of operations.

 

(h)

Income taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a Subchapter “S” corporation for federal income tax purposes. As such, all federal taxable income and losses pass through to the individual stockholders for inclusion in their personal income tax returns. The amount provided for state income taxes is based upon the current and deferred state taxes payable or refundable at the date of the financial statements as a result of all events recognized in the financial statements as measured by the provisions of enacted state tax laws.

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has no uncertain tax positions that qualify for either recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

As of November 28, 2010, the Company has accrued no interest and no penalties related to uncertain tax positions. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

(i)

Product warranties

The Company’s products generally carry one to ten-year warranties from defects in workmanship and materials. The estimated cost of warranty obligations on units manufactured and sold by the Company is recognized in the period of the sale. Substantially all purchased units are supplied by one manufacturer and warranty obligations on these units are recognized in the period of sale only for that portion of the obligation not assumed by the supplier. Because of inherent uncertainties in estimating product warranties, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the recorded liability will occur within the near term.

 

(j)

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized by the Company upon shipment, as product ownership and risk of loss have transferred to the customer.

 

(k)

Advertising costs

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to approximately $1,450,000 in 2010.

 

(l)

Shipping and handling costs

Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.

 

(m)

Rebates

The Company offers certain sales incentives to its customers, in the form of rebates, whereby customers receive a periodic payment from the Company based on cumulative aggregate purchases over a specified period of time. The amount of these rebates is determined by management and recorded as a reduction of net sales on the accrual basis. Accordingly, net sales have been reduced for rebates in the approximate amount of $3,345,000 in 2010.

 

(n)

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(o)

Fiscal year

The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year that ends on a Sunday, typically the last Sunday in November. Fiscal year 2010 included 52 weeks.

 

(p)

Events occurring after reporting date

For the originally issued financial statements, the Company evaluated events and transactions that occurred between November 28, 2010 and February 10, 2011, the date which the originally issued financial statements were issued. For the reissued financial statements, the Company evaluated subsequent events, summarized in Note 18, through November 10, 2011, the date the reissued financial statements were issued.

 

(q)

Newly adopted accounting pronouncement

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting standard relating to variable interest entities. This standard amends previous standards and requires an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, specifies updated criteria for determining the primary beneficiary, requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, amends certain guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity, requires enhanced disclosures about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity, and includes other provisions. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

(3)	Concentrations

Trade accounts receivable are due primarily from customers of the Company’s commercial and residential water heaters and boilers.

The Company generally maintains cash and cash equivalents on deposit at banks in excess of federally insured amounts. Accordingly, at various times during the year, balances were uninsured and uncollateralized. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and, in management’s opinion, cash and cash equivalents are not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, credit, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the balance sheet.

The Company utilized two suppliers for approximately 41% of inventory purchases during 2010.

(4)	Fair value measurements

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, fair value accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity including quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), or significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (Level 3). The marketable securities are classified as Level 1 financial assets since the fair value inputs are established from quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. The cash surrender value of life insurance is classified as Level 3 financial assets since the fair value is based on information received from the insurance carriers indicating the financial performance of the policies and the amount the Company would receive should the policies be surrendered.

Financial Instruments

The carrying amount of financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, income tax deposit, accounts payable and certain other liabilities approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

Non-Financial Assets

The Company’s non-financial assets, which include property and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if certain triggering events occur, or if an annual impairment test is required and the Company is required to evaluate the non-financial instrument for impairment, a resulting asset impairment would require that the non-financial asset be recorded at the fair value. During the year ended November 28, 2010, the Company did not measure any non-financial assets at fair value or recognize any amounts in earnings related to changes in fair value for non-financial assets.

LOCHINVAR CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

November 28, 2010

 

(8)	Line of credit

The Company has an unsecured, short-term borrowing arrangement with a bank which provides for a $2,000,000 line of credit expiring in May 2011. Interest is charged at the bank’s prime rate less 1.25% with a floor of 2.50%. There were no borrowings outstanding at November 28, 2010.

 

(9)	Profit sharing plan

The Company sponsors a defined contribution profit sharing plan with a 401(k) feature. The plan covers all employees with one or more years of service. The plan allows pre-tax employee contributions. Participants can contribute up to 15% of their pre-tax compensation and receive, at the Company’s discretion, up to 50% matching contribution on up to 6% of this contribution. The Company may make additional contributions to this plan. The amount, if any, is determined by the Company each plan year and an employee must be a participant on the last day of the plan year in order to participate in any such contribution. The Company’s profit sharing plan contributions amounted to approximately $1,275,000 for 2010.

 

(10)	Self-insurance reserves

The Company self-insures its exposure to workers compensation claims and general business liability up to $150,000 and $250,000 for individual claim basis, respectively, and up to a combined basis of $2,780,000 on an aggregate claim basis, with insurance coverage obtained for exposure in excess of those amounts. It is possible that incurred but not reported claims may result in losses in excess of the amount accrued. However, in the opinion of management, any such claims would not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position. In connection with the self-insurance, the Company maintains a letter of credit in the amount of $2,780,000 with a maturity of August 2011. The Company’s accrued workers compensation liability at November 28, 2010 amounted to approximately $750,000. The Company’s accrued general insurance liability at November 28, 2010 amounted to approximately $1,200,000.

 

(11)	Income taxes

Since the Company has elected to be taxed as a Subchapter “S” corporation for federal income tax purposes, no provision for federal income taxes has been made. The provision for state income taxes during 2010 is as follows:

 

Current tax expense		$	141,375
Deferred tax expense			33,000
		$	174,375

Notes to the Financial Statements

November 28, 2010

 

Net deferred income taxes reflected in the balance sheet as of November 28, 2010 include the following amounts of deferred income tax assets and liabilities:

 

		Current				Long-term				Total
Deferred income tax assets		$	284,000			$	45,000			$	329,000
Deferred income tax liabilities			(42,000	)			(41,000	)			(83,000	)
Net		$	242,000			$	4,000			$	246,000

As of November 28, 2010, the Company has accrued no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The Company is currently open to audit under the statute of limitations by the state of Tennessee for the years ended November 30, 2006 through 2009.

Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and tax basis of the Company’s assets and liabilities. The deferred income tax assets result primarily from accrued product warranties, self-insurance reserves, inventory capitalization, and the direct write-off method of accounting for bad debts for income tax purposes. The deferred income tax liabilities result primarily from the use of accelerated methods of depreciation of property and equipment for income tax purposes and unrealized gains on the marketable securities portfolio.

In connection with the election to retain its fiscal year end, the Company is required to make a deposit with the federal government in an amount which approximates the benefit of the tax deferral related to the fiscal year end.
