INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

 

To the Board of Directors of

Chemical Specialist and Development, Inc. & Subsidiaries

9733 Meador Road

Conroe, TX 77303

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Chemical Specialist and Development, Inc. & Subsidiaries (a Texas corporation) and subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ 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 from 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 Chemical Specialist and Development, Inc. & Subsidiaries and subsidiaries as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Report on Consolidating Information

 

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The consolidating information in Schedule of General and Administrative Expenses is presented for purposes of additional analysis of the consolidated financial statements rather than to present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the individual companies, and it is not a required part of the consolidated financial statements. Such information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. The consolidating information has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the consolidated financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the consolidated financial statements or to the consolidated financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the consolidating information is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated financial statements as a whole.

CONROE, TEXAS

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2013 AND 2012

 

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Chemical Specialists and Development, Inc., and its subsidiaries: Startex Chemical, Inc. and Startex Distribution West, LLC.  All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Nature of Activities

 

Chemical Specialists and Development, Inc. was organized in the State of Texas on April 26, 1976, and is engaged in the packaging and distribution of chemicals, solvents, and other materials for governmental and industrial use.  The Company sells its products to various departments of the federal government and to domestic and international customers through its various divisions.  Operations were expanded in October 2009 with the purchase of a plant in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

 

Startex Chemical, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Chemical Specialists and Development, Inc. that was formed in 1985 to sell to distributors and retail outlets.

 

Startex Distribution West, LLC was formed July 1, 2009 to expand sales, consistent with current operations, along the west coast of the United States.  Operations in California are conducted via a logistics support chemical management warehouse facility located in the southern part of that state.  Chemical Specialists and Development, Inc. has an eighty percent (80%) controlling interest in Startex Distribution West, LLC.  The remaining twenty percent (20%) minority interest is owned by an individual.

 

Buckeye Properties, Inc., owned by the same principals of the Company, was formed in 1994 and owns two (2) dwellings located in Conroe, Texas.

 

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 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 Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be “cash equivalents.”

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company generally charges off any account deemed to be uncollectible.  In the opinion of management, reserves for uncollectible accounts of $776,845 and $349,404 were adequate as of January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  This reserve is based on the Company’s past experience with its customers.  Accounts receivable are stated at their net realizable value, which approximates their fair value.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method of accounting.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.  Advertising expenses for the years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012 were $80,730 and $82,731, respectively.

CHEMICAL SPECIALISTS AND DEVELOPMENT, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES

CONROE, TEXAS

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2013 AND 2012

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation and amortization are provided using the accelerated and straight-line methods of depreciation over the useful lives of the assets.  Expenditures for repairs and maintenance of the property and equipment are expensed as incurred unless they materially extend the useful lives of the assets; such expenses are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the asset.

 

Income Taxes

 

Taxes are provided on all revenue and expense items included in income, regardless of the period in which such items may be recognized for income tax purposes, except for items representing a permanent difference between pre-tax accounting income and tax income.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

Freight billed to customers is considered sales revenue and the related freight costs are considered a cost of sales.

 

NOTE 2 - CASH

 

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

An alternative plan of deferred compensation for named key employees was adopted.  For a period of 6 (six) years, beginning January 1, 2010 and ending December 31, 2015, 5 (five) key employees shall share $350,000 that shall be due and payable on or before January 31 of each calendar year during the term of this agreement while employed by the Company.  This compensation is taxable at the individual level and is subject to payroll tax at the Company level.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2013 AND 2012

 

The Consolidation Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification requires nonpublic companies with a variable interest in a variable interest entity (VIE) to make certain disclosures and/or consolidate the VIE into its financial statements.  The Company has evaluated its relationship with STLG and has determined that the entity does not meet the criteria to be considered a VIE; therefore, the application of this interpretation is not applicable to the Company for the years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

NOTE 12 - MAJOR CUSTOMERS

 

The Company’s sales to various branches of the federal government accounted for approximately 12% (twelve percent) and 9% (nine percent) of the total sales for the years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

The Company continued a contract with a major paint supply company, which comprised 11% (eleven percent) of the total sales for the years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

Additionally, the Company secured a contract with an international chemical company that develops specialty fuels, which comprised approximately 9% (nine percent) and 10% (ten percent) of the total sales for the years ended January 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  All sales transactions with this company are conducted in U.S. currency.

 

NOTE 13 - ASSET ACQUISITION

 

The Company acquired the assets of Theo Arapoglou, Inc. on December 31, 1996. The acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting for mergers and acquisitions as outlined under the Intangibles — Goodwill and Others Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

NOTE 14 - ACQUISITION OF TREASURY STOCK

 

The Company purchased twenty percent (20%) of its 30,000 outstanding shares from one stockholder.  The cost was $662,974 and has been accounted for using the cost method.  The cost method was used to account for this transaction because the shares were not retired and their final disposition was not known at the time of purchase.

 

NOTE 15 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
