INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Heritage Plastics, Inc. and Related Companies which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in shareholders’ and members’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits 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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Heritage Plastics, Inc. and Related Companies as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

HERITAGE PLASTICS, INC. AND RELATED COMPANIES

CONSOLIDATED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations
Heritage Plastics, Inc., Heritage Plastics Central, Inc. and Heritage Plastics West, Inc. (the “Operating Companies”) manufacture PVC plastic pipe for a broad-based mix of industry and customers. The Operating Companies have production plants in Ohio, Florida, Texas and Utah. Effective January 1, 2012, Heritage Plastics South, Inc. and Heritage Plastics Molding, Inc. were merged into Heritage Plastics, Inc. The Operating Companies grant credit to customers throughout the nation. Consequently, the Company’s ability to collect the amounts due from customers is affected by economic fluctuations in the industry.

Carroll Rentals, LLC, Florida Rentals, LLC, and Milford Rentals, LLC (the “LLC’s”) are engaged in the rental of real estate to the operating companies in Ohio, Florida, and Utah.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the amounts of Heritage Plastics, Inc., Heritage Plastics Central, and Heritage Plastics West, all operating companies related through common ownership. In addition, Carroll Rentals, LLC, Florida Rentals, LLC, and Milford Rentals, LLC various interest real estate companies are included. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from sales at the time of shipment. Freight costs are included in cost of goods sold.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of classification on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and deposits in banks.

Trade Accounts Receivable
Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount, less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. Based on management’s assessment of the credit history with customers having outstanding balances and current relationships with them, they have concluded that a $327,255 and $328,055 allowance for doubtful accounts was necessary at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

A trade receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 90 days. Interest is charged on trade receivables that are outstanding for more than 30 days and is recognized as it is charged. After the receivable becomes past due, it is on nonaccrual status and accrual of interest is suspended.


See independent auditor’s report.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market value.

Inventories as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 consisted of the following components:

 
2012

6,871,454

Total inventories
$
13,466,113

 
$
11,071,396


Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily on the straight-line method over estimated useful lives.

Income Taxes
The Operating Companies, with the consent of their stockholders, have elected to have their income taxed as S corporations under Section 1362 of the Internal Revenue Code. As such, the Operating Companies do not pay corporate income taxes and are not allowed net operating tax loss carrybacks or carryovers as deductions. Instead, the stockholders include their proportionate share of the Operating Companies’ taxable income or loss in their individual income tax returns.

The LLC’s are limited liability companies, and in lieu of income taxes, the members of the limited liability companies are taxed on their proportionate share of the taxable income.

In accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, management evaluated the entities’ tax positions and concluded that the entities had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance. With few exceptions, the entities are no longer subject to income tax examinations by the U.S. federal, state or local tax authorities for years before 2009.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.


See independent auditor’s report.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Depreciation
Depreciation of property and equipment are provided by use of straight line method over the following useful lives:

Buildings
10 – 25 years
Machinery and Equipment
5 – 10 years
Office Furniture and Equipment
3 – 10 years
Leasehold Improvements
15 years

Uninsured Risk – Cash Deposits
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents balances in various financial institutions located across the United States. Deposits in interest-bearing accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to a coverage limit of $250,000 through December 31, 2012. Insurance on deposits in noninterest-bearing accounts is unlimited through December 31, 2012. The Company has both interest-bearing and noninterest-bearing accounts.

Beginning January 1, 2013, noninterest-bearing accounts will no longer be insured separately from the Company’s other accounts at the same FDIC-insured depository institution (IDI). Instead, noninterest-bearing and interest-bearing accounts will collectively be insured up to a coverage limit of $250,000, at each separately chartered IDI.

As a result, the Company may have balances that exceed the insured limit.

Advertising
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to approximately $13,200 and $17,800 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.        

NOTE 2: LINE-OF-CREDIT

The Operating Companies have negotiated a line-of-credit with Huntington Bank in the amount of $15,500,000. The bank has allocated the maximum line amounts to each of the operating companies as noted in the paragraphs below.
