REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
PLH Products, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Buena Park, California

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of PLH Products, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2015, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of PLH Products, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated April 17, 2015, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

PLH Products, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2015

NOTE 1 –NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

PLH Products, Inc. and Subsidiaries, established and incorporated on September 2, 1992, a California corporation (collectively the “Company”), manufactures and distributes saunas. The Company’s corporate office is located in Buena Park, California. The Company designs, develops, manufactures, and distributes a wide variety of infrared saunas and cedar product for traditional saunas. The Company distributes a full range of saunas under brand names, Health Mate, Sun Spirit, Healspa, Aroma Steam, and Fin Heaven to distributors, retailers, and end-users.

The Company has two wholly owned subsidiaries as follows:

Pacific Cedar Supply, Ltd. (Yantai, China) – Provides designing and manufacturing of Infra-Red Home Saunas; and
   
Pacific Cedar Supply, Inc. (Yantai, China) – Provides designing and manufacturing of specialty wood of Western Canadian Red Cedar and other wood type products.

Reverse Merger

On May 21, 2014, Dardanos filed Articles of Merger and Plan of Merger with the Secretary of State of Delaware to merge with the Company and change domicile from Delaware to California by means of a merger with and into a California corporation. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the California Corporation are the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the surviving corporation. Such Articles of Incorporation maintained the Company’s corporate name of PLH Products, Inc. and modified the Company’s capital structure to allow for the issuance of up to 500,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock and up to 20,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value preferred stock. Although the merger documents were filed in Delaware on May 21, 2014, the Secretary of State of Delaware required completion of certain documents in order to issue a tax clearance certificate to complete the merger. The required tax clearance was not issued until June 10, 2014 which formally completed the domicile relocation to California.

The acquisition was accounted for as a “reverse merger” and recapitalization since the stockholder of PLH Products, Inc. and Subsidiaries owned all of the outstanding shares of the common stock immediately following the completion of the transaction, the stockholders of PLH Products, Inc. and Subsidiaries have the significant influence and the ability to elect or appoint or to remove a majority of the members of the governing body of the combined entity, and PLH Products, Inc. and Subsidiaries’ senior management will dominate the management of the combined entity immediately following the completion of the transaction in accordance with the provision of ASC 805, “Business Combinations”. Accordingly, PLH Products, Inc. and Subsidiaries will be deemed to be the accounting acquirer in the transaction and, consequently, the transaction is treated as a recapitalization of PLH Products, Inc. and Subsidiaries. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in the financial statements are those of PLH Products, Inc. and Subsidiaries and are recorded at the historical cost basis of PLH Products, Inc. and Subsidiaries. Dardanos’s assets, liabilities and results of operations will be consolidated with the assets, liabilities and results of operations of PLH Products, Inc. and Subsidiaries after consummation of the acquisition.

As a result of reverser merger, the Company issued additional shares due to stock split to existing shareholders. As a result of stock split, the Company retrospectively restated previous period as an equivalent charge.

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which is based on the accrual method of accounting. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits have been eliminated upon consolidation.

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“Interim Financial Statements”) of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the Interim Financial Statements included herein contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.


The operating results and cash flows of the interim periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or the full year.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, collection is reasonably assured and delivery of products has occurred or services have been rendered. Customer payments received prior to the recognition of revenue are recorded as advance from customers.

Advertising Expense

Costs associated with advertising and promotions are expensed as incurred. Advertising and promotion expense amounted to $6,336 and $7,937 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Shipping and Handling Costs

The Company records all charges for outbound shipping and handling as revenue. All outbound shipping and handling costs are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses. The Company incurred $161,534 and $132,926 of outbound shipping and handling costs for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less the allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of all outstanding amounts at year end. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of write-off history, aging analysis, and any specific known troubled accounts. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible.

Inventories

Inventories include finished goods, work-in-process, and raw materials and are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined on the weighted average costing method which approximates actual cost. The Company maintains an allowance for potentially excess and obsolete inventories and inventories that are carried at costs that are higher than their estimated net realizable values.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

  Building 39 years
  Furniture and fixtures 5-8 years
  Machinery and equipment 4-5 years
  Vehicles 4-5 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the useful lives of the improvements, the related lease term, or the life of the building.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are recorded at cost and are amortized over their useful lives as follows:

  Land usage rights 50 years
  Trademark usage rights 10 years
  Software licenses 4-10 years

Warranties

We provide a warranty for one year which is covered by our vendors and manufacturers under purchase agreements between the Company and the vendors. In general, these products are shipped directly from our vendors to our customers. As a result, we believe we do not have any net warranty exposure and do not accrue any warranty expenses. Historically, the Company has not experienced any material net warranty expenditures.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company translates the assets and liabilities of its non-U.S. functional currency subsidiaries into dollars at the current rates of exchange in effect at the end of the reporting period. Revenues and expenses are translated at average current rates during the reporting period. Translation adjustments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Risk Factors

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with various major financial institutions. At times, cash and cash equivalents may be in excess of federally insured limits. The Company maintains two cash accounts located in Southern California. All funds in a non-interest bearing transaction account are insured in full by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012. This temporary unlimited coverage is in addition to, and separate from, the coverage of at least $250,000 available to depositors under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules. Beginning January 01, 2013, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) will no longer provide unlimited deposit coverage to funds in a non-interest bearing transaction account. The standard insurance amount is $250,000 per deposits under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company did not have uninsured cash balance.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk are accounts receivable and other receivables arising from its normal business activities. The Company has a diversified customer base. The Company controls credit risk related to accounts receivable through credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk, establishes an allowance, if required, for un-collectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable related credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

The Company does not have any concentrations of customers or vendors as of the year end. The Company provides credit to customers in the normal course of business. Collateral is not required for trade receivables, but evaluations of customer’s credit and financial conditions are performed periodically. The Company has not experienced any significant bad debt expense from customers.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of the Company’s trade accounts receivable, income taxes receivable/payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short maturities of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s short and long term debt approximates fair value based on management’s best estimate of the interest rates that would be available for similar debt obligations having similar terms at the balance sheet date.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company, in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, reviews for impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount. No such impairment indicators were identified by the Company and no impairment losses were recorded by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

Income Taxes

The Company follows ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates, applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

The Company adopted ASC 740-10-25 on January 1, 2009, which provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax position. The Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company recognized $240,000 of additional liabilities for uncertain tax positions as a result of the implementation of ASC 740-10-25 which resulted in a retained earnings adjustment as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.


Segment Reporting

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” requires public companies to report financial and descriptive information about their reportable operating segments. The Company identifies operating segments based on how management internally evaluates separate financial information, business activities and management responsibility. Accordingly, the Company has one reportable segment, consisting of the sauna and wood related businesses.

The Company generates revenues from four geographic areas, consisting of the United States, Europe, and Asia. The following enterprise-wide disclosure is prepared on a basis consistent with the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The following table contains certain financial information by geographic area:

Recently issued accounting pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which includes amendments that create Topic 606 and supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, including most industry-specific revenue recognition guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. In addition, the amendments supersede the cost guidance in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition—Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts, and create new Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs—Contracts with Customers. In summary, the core principle of Topic 606 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The amendments in ASU No. 2014-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. On April 1, 2015, the FASB tentatively decided to defer for one year the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09, while also tentatively deciding to permit early application. If these changes are adopted, then ASU No. 2014-09 will become effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017, with early application permitted as of the original effective date in ASU 2014-09 (i.e., annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016). The Company is evaluating the future impact of the issuance of ASU No. 2014-09, as well as the tentative decisions reached by the FASB.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) – Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. This ASU requires retrospective adoption and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. When adopted, ASU No. 2015-03 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

There have been no other recently issued accounting updates that had a material impact on the Company’s Interim Financial Statements.

Sales in Europe decreased by $1,358,520 to $1,785,762 in the three months ended March 31, 2015 from $3,144,282 in the comparable period last year. The change was primarily attributable to strengthening of the Dollar over the Euro.

The company is participating about 140 of shows for sales in United States a year, and payment for each shows is expensed at the time of participating the show.
   
Administrative expense decreased by $20,825, primarily reflecting lower employee labor and benefit-related expense such as cafeteria expenses in China.

Our effective tax rate was 38.02% for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared with 35.49% for the first quarter of fiscal 2014. The increased effective tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the same period in fiscal 2014 was primarily due to increasing of pretax income on PLH Products, Inc. in US for the current year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal liquidity requirements are for working capital, capital expenditures and cash dividends. We fund our liquidity requirements primarily through cash on hand, cash flows from operations and borrowings from our revolving credit facility. We believe our cash on hand, future cash flows from operations and borrowings from our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements for at least the next 12 months.

We ended the first quarter of fiscal 2015 with $6.3 million of cash compared with $5.9 million at the end of the same period in fiscal 2014. Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities are summarized as follows:

    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,     March 31,  
    2015     2014  
Net cash provided by (used in):            
     Operating activities $  1,879,291   $  (1,816,443 )
     Investing activities   (314,625 )   336,095  
     Financing activities   (981,657 )   446,556  
     Effect of exchange rate changes on cash   1,161     (9,789 )
             
           Net increase (decrease) in cash $  584,170   $  (1,043,581 )

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 was $1,879,143 and $(1,816,443), respectively. In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, net cash was provided primarily to increase of advance from customer and accrued expenses. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, net cash was used primarily to pay down account payable balance.

Investing Activities. Net cash provided (used in) investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 was $(314,625) and $336,095 respectively. Capital expenditures, excluding non-cash acquisitions, represented all of the cash used in investing activities for each period. The increase primarily reflects increased property and equipment.


Financing Activities. Net cash provided (used in) financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 was $(981,657) and $446,556, respectively. In the first quarter of fiscal 2015, net cash was used primarily to pay down borrowings under our line of credit. In the first quarter of fiscal 2014, net cash was provided primarily to borrow under line of credit.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations. Our material off-balance sheet arrangements are operating lease obligations. We excluded these items from the balance sheet in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Operating lease commitments consist principally of leases for our retail store facilities, distribution center and corporate office. These leases frequently include options which permit us to extend the terms beyond the initial fixed lease term. With respect to most of those leases, we intend to renegotiate those leases as they expire.

Our material contractual obligations include operating lease commitments associated with our leased properties and other occupancy expense, capital lease obligations, borrowings under our Credit Facility and other liabilities. Capital lease obligations, which include imputed interest, consist principally of leases for some of our distribution center delivery tractors, management information systems hardware and point-of-sale equipment for our stores. Our Credit Facility debt fluctuates daily depending on operating, investing and financing cash flows. Other occupancy expense includes estimated property maintenance fees and property taxes for our stores, distribution center and corporate headquarters. Other liabilities consist principally of actuarially-determined reserve estimates related to self-insurance liabilities, of which certain self-insurance liabilities are secured by a surety bond, a contractual obligation for the surviving spouse of Robert W. Miller, our co-founder, and asset retirement obligations related to the removal and retirement of leasehold improvements for certain stores upon termination of their leases.

In the ordinary course of business, we enter into arrangements with vendors to purchase merchandise in advance of expected delivery. Because most of these purchase orders do not contain any termination payments or other penalties if cancelled, they are not included as outstanding contractual obligations.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 4 - Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive and Financial Officer (Certifying Officer), has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15 promulgated under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officer concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC due to a weakness in our controls more fully disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. However, our Certifying Officer believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the respective periods presented.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months March 31, 2015 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting which internal controls will remain efficient or until such time as the Company completes a major transaction or acquisition of an operating business at which time management will be able to implement new controls and procedures.
