NOTE
1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
|||||||||
Business
Activity
-
Metwood, Inc. ("Metwood") was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth
of Virginia on April 7, 1993. On June 30, 2000, Metwood entered
into an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization in which the majority of its
outstanding common stock was acquired by a publicly held Nevada
shell
corporation. The acquisition was a tax-free exchange for federal
and state
income tax purposes and was accounted for as a reverse merger in
accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No.
16. Upon
acquisition, the name of the shell corporation was changed to Metwood,
Inc., and Metwood, Inc., the Virginia corporation, became a wholly
owned
subsidiary of Metwood, Inc., the Nevada corporation. The publicly
traded
shell corporation had not had a material operating history for
several
years prior to the merger.
|
|||||||||
Effective
January 1, 2002, Metwood acquired certain assets of Providence
Engineering, PC ("Providence"), a professional engineering firm
with
customers in the same proximity as Metwood. The total purchase
price of
$350,000 was paid with $60,000 in cash and with 290,000 shares
of the
Company's common stock to the two Providence shareholders. These
shares
were valued at the closing active quoted market price of the stock
at the
effective date of the purchase, which was $1.00 per share. One
of the
shareholders of Providence was also an officer and existing shareholder
of
Metwood prior to the acquisition. In 2002 Metwood purchased from
that
shareholder and retired 15,000 of the originally issued 290,000
shares for
$15,000 and in 2004 purchased from that shareholder and retired
the
remaining 275,000 of the originally issued 290,000 shares for $50,000.
The
initial purchase transaction was accounted for under the purchase
method
of accounting. The purchase price was allocated as
follows:
|
Accounts
receivable
|
$
|
75,000
|
||
Fixed
assets
|
45,000
|
|||
Goodwill
|
230,000
|
|||
Total
|
$
|
350,000
|
During
the year ended June 30, 2003, liabilities assumed at the date of
acquisition were identified and paid. The amount of the liabilities
paid
was $23,088, and this amount was added to goodwill.
|
|||||||||
The
consolidated company ("the Company") provides construction-related
products and engineering services to residential customers and
contractors, commercial contractors, developers and retail enterprises,
primarily in southwestern Virginia.
|
|||||||||
Basis
of Presentation
-
The financial statements include the accounts of Metwood, Inc.
and its
wholly owned subsidiary, Providence Engineering, PC, prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United
States of America and pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the
Securities and Exchange Commission. All significant intercompany
balances
and transactions have been eliminated.
|
In
the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated
financial
statements contain all the adjustments necessary in order to make
the
financial statements not misleading. The results for the period
ended
December 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be
expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30,
2007.
|
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
-
For certain of the Company's financial instruments, none of which
are held
for trading, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable
and
accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due
to their
short maturities.
|
Management's
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, disclosures of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements,
and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
|
Accounts
Receivable
-
The Company grants credit in the form of unsecured accounts receivable
to
its customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition.
The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The
estimate
of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is charged off to
bad debt
expense, is based on management’s assessment of current economic
conditions and historical collection experience with each customer.
At
December 31, 2006, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $-0-.
Specific
customer receivables are considered past due when they are outstanding
beyond their contractual terms and are charged off to the allowance
for
doubtful accounts when determined uncollectible or directly to
bad debt
expense if there is no remaining allowance. For the three months
ended
December 31, 2006 and 2005, the amount of bad debts charged off
was $409
and $-0-, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2006
and
2005, the amount of bad debts charged off was $23,470 and
$-0-
|
Inventory
-
Inventory, consisting of metal and wood raw materials, is located
on the
Company's premises and is stated at the lower of cost or market
using the
first-in, first-out method.
|
Property
and equipment
-
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and include expenditures
for
improvements when they substantially increase the productive lives
of
existing assets. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed to operations
as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
over
the assets' estimated useful lives, which range from three to forty
years.
When a fixed asset is disposed of, its cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the accounts. The difference between
undepreciated cost and the proceeds is recorded as a gain or loss.
|
Goodwill
-
The Company accounts for goodwill and intangibles under SFAS No.
142,
“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” As such, goodwill is not
amortized, but is subject to annual impairment reviews, or more
frequent
reviews if events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment.
The Company performed its required annual goodwill impairment test
as of
June 30, 2006 using discounted cash flow estimates and found that
there
was no impairment of goodwill.
|
Patents
-
The Company has been assigned several key product patents developed
by
certain Company officers. No value has been recorded in the Company's
financial statements because the fair value of the patents was
not
determinable within reasonable limits at the date of
assignment.
|
|||||||||
Revenue
Recognition
-
Revenue is recognized when goods are shipped and earned or when
services
are performed, provided collection of the resulting receivable
is
probable. If any material contingencies are present, revenue recognition
is delayed until all material contingencies are eliminated. Further,
no
revenue is recognized unless collection of the applicable consideration
is
probable.
|
|||||||||
Income
Taxes
-
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes." A deferred tax asset or liability
is
recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax
reporting
and for net operating loss carryforwards, where applicable. Deferred
tax
assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion
of
management, it is more likely than not that some portion or the
entire
deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws
and rates
on the date of enactment.
|
|||||||||
Research
and Development
-
The Company performs research and development on its metal/wood
products,
new product lines, and new patents. Costs, if any, are expensed
as they
are incurred. There were no research and development costs for
the three
months ended December 31, 2006 or 2005. For the six months ended
December
31, 2006 and 2005, the expenses relating to research and development
were
$8,000 and $-0-, respectively.
|
|||||||||
Earnings
Per Common Share
-
Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average
shares
of common stock outstanding. If applicable, diluted earnings per
share
would assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential
common
stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities,
unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per
share. This
presentation has been adopted for the periods presented. There
were no
adjustments required to net income for the years presented in the
computation of diluted earnings per share.
|
|||||||||
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
-
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued
Interpretation ("FIN") No. 48, "Uncertainty in Income Taxes." FIN
48
applies to all tax positions within the scope of Statement 109
and
clarifies when and how to recognize tax benefits in the financial
statements with a two-step approach to recognition and measurement.
FIN 48
will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2006.
Management continues to evaluate the effect that adoption of FIN
48 will
have on the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial
position.
|
|||||||||
In
May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") No. 154, "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" (replacing
Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 20, "Accounting
Changes,"
and SFAS No. 3, "Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial
Statements - an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28") which changes
the
requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in
accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application
to prior
period financial statements (to the extent practicable) of changes
in
accounting principle instead of recognition of the cumulative effect
of
the change in net income in the period of the change as required
by APB
No. 10. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation or
amortization be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate
effected
by a change
|
in
accounting principle. The Company adopted SFAS 154 during the quarter
ended September 30, 2006, and such adoption did not impact the
Company's
consolidated results of operations or financial
position.
|
|||||||||||
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements." SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework
and
gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value,
and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is
effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November
15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company
does
not expect adoption of FASB No. 157 to have a material effect on
its
consolidated results of operations or financial
position.
|
|||||||||||
In
September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB")
No.
108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when
Quantifying
Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements." SAB 108 provides
interpretive guidance on the SEC's views regarding the process
of
quantifying materiality of financial statement misstatements. SAB
108 is
effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, with
early
application for the first interim period ending after November
15, 2006.
The Company does not believe that the application of SAB 108 will
have a
material effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial
position.

2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
|
|||||||
With
the exception of historical facts stated herein, the matters discussed
in
this report are "forward-looking" statements that involve risks
and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from
projected results. Such "forward-looking" statements include, but
are not
necessarily limited to, statements regarding anticipated levels
of future
revenues and earnings from operations of the Company. Readers of
this
report are cautioned not to put undue reliance on "forward-looking"
statements, which are by their nature, uncertain as reliable indicators
of
future performance.
|
|||||||
Description
of Business
|
|||||||
Background
|
|||||||
As
discussed in detail in Note 1, the Company was incorporated under
the laws
of the Commonwealth of Virginia on April 7, 1993 and, on June 30,
2000,
entered into a reverse merger in which it became the wholly owned
subsidiary of a public Nevada shell corporation, renamed Metwood,
Inc.
Effective January 1, 2002, Metwood acquired certain assets of Providence
Engineering, PC in a transaction accounted for under the purchase
method
of accounting.
|
|||||||
Principal
Products/Services and Markets
|
|||||||
Metwood
|
|||||||
Residential
builders are aware of the superiority of steel framing vs. wood
framing,
insofar as steel framing is lighter; stronger; termite, pest, rot
and fire
resistant; and dimensionally more stable in withstanding induced
loads.
Although use of steel framing in residential construction has generally
increased each year since 1980, many residential builders have
been
hesitant to utilize steel due to the need to retrain framers and
subcontractors who are accustomed to a "stick-built" construction
method
where components are laid out and assembled with nails and screws.
The
Company's founders, Robert ("Mike") Callahan and Ronald Shiflett,
saw the
need to combine the strength and durability of steel with the convenience
and familiarity of wood and wood fasteners.
|
|||||||
Metwood
manufactures light-gage steel construction materials, usually combined
with wood or wood fasteners, for use in residential and commercial
applications in place of more conventional wood products, which
are
inferior in terms of strength and durability. The steel and steel/wood
products allow structures to be built with increased load strength
and
structural integrity and fewer support beams or support configurations,
thereby allowing for structural designs that are not possible with
wood-only products.
|
|||||||
Metwood's
primary products and services are:
|
|||||||
·
Girders and headers
|
·
Garage, deck and porch concrete pour-over systems
|
||||||
·
Floor joists
|
·
Garage and post-and-beam buildings
|
||||||
·
Floor joist reinforcers
|
·
Engineering, design and custom building services
|
||||||
·
Roof and floor trusses
|
Providence
|
|||||||||
Providence
is extensively involved in ongoing product research and development
for
Metwood. Additionally, Providence offers its customers civil engineering
capabilities which include rezoning and special use submissions;
erosion
and sediment control and storm-water management design; residential,
commercial, and religious facility site development design; and
utility
design, including water, sewer and onsite treatment systems. Providence's
staff is familiar with construction practices and has been actively
involved in construction administration and inspection on multiple
projects.
|
|||||||||
Providence
also performs a variety of structural design and analysis work,
successfully providing solutions for many projects, including retaining
walls, residential framing, commercial building framing, light-gage
steel
fabrication drawings, metal building retrofits and additions, mezzanines,
and seismic anchors and restraints.
|
|||||||||
Providence
has designed numerous foundations for a variety of structures.
Its
foundation design expertise includes metal building foundations,
traditional building construction foundations, atypical foundations
for
residential structures, tower foundations, and sign foundations
for a
variety of uses and applications.
|
|||||||||
Providence
has also designed and drafted full building plans for several
applications. When subcontracting with local professional firms,
Providence has the ability to provide basic architectural, mechanical,
electrical, and detailed civil and structural design services for
these
facilities.
|
|||||||||
Providence
has reviewed designs by manufacturers for a variety of structures
and
structural components, including retaining walls, radio towers,
tower
foundations, sign foundations, timber trusses, light-gage steel
trusses,
and light-gage steel beams. This service enables clients to take
generic
designs and have them certified and approved for construction in
the
desired locality.
|
|||||||||
Distribution
Methods of Products and Services
|
|||||||||
Approximately
90% of the Company's sales are wholesale to lumberyards, home improvement
stores, hardware stores, and plumbing and electrical suppliers
in Virginia
and North Carolina, including Lowe's, Home Depot and 84 Lumber.
The
Company's relationships with these dealers has strengthened both
sales
volume and collectibility. Additionally, the Company sells directly
to
contractors and do-it-yourself homeowners in Virginia and North
Carolina.
Metwood relies primarily on its own sales force to generate sales;
however, the Company has distributors in Virginia, New York, Oklahoma,
Arizona, Colorado, Washington and Pennsylvania and also utilizes
the
salespeople of wholesale yards stocking the Company's products
as an
additional "sales force." Metwood intends to continue expanding
the
wholesale marketing of its unique products to retailers and to
license the
Company's technology and products to increase its distribution
outside of
Virginia, North Carolina and the South.
|
Seasonality
of Market
|
The
Company's sales can be subject to seasonal impacts, as its products
are
used in residential and commercial construction projects which
tend to be
at peak levels in Virginia and North Carolina between the months
of March
and October. Accordingly, the Company's sales tend to be greater
in its
fourth and first fiscal quarters. However, the Company is expanding
into
less weather-sensitive markets, such as Florida, Georgia, Arizona,
South
Carolina and Alabama in order to ameliorate seasonality factors.
The
Company builds an inventory of its products throughout the winter
and
spring to support its sales season.
|
Competition
|
Nationally,
there are over one hundred manufacturers of the types of products
produced
by the Company. However, the majority of these manufacturers are
using
wood-only products or products without metal reinforcement. Metwood
has
identified only one other manufacturer in the United States that
manufactures a wood-metal floor truss similar to that of the Company.
However, Metwood has often found that its products are the only
ones that
will work within many customers' design specs.
|
Sources
and Availability of Raw Materials and the Names of Principal
Suppliers
|
All
of the raw materials used by the Company are readily available
on the
market from numerous suppliers. The light-gage metal used by the
Company
is supplied primarily by Marino-Ware, Telling Industries and Wheeling
Corrugating Company. The Company's main sources of lumber are BlueLinx
and
The Contractor Yard. Gerdau Amersteel, Descosteel and Adelphia
Metals
provide the majority of the Company's rebar. Because of the number
of
suppliers available to the Company, its decisions in purchasing
materials
are dictated primarily by price and secondarily by availability.
The
Company does not anticipate a lack of supply to affect its production;
however, a shortage might cause the Company to pass on higher materials
prices to its buyers.
|
Dependence
on One or a Few Major Customers
|
Presently
the Company does not have any one customer whose loss would have
a
substantial impact on the Company's operations.
|
Patents
|
The
Company has eight U.S. and four Canadian patents:
|
U.S.
Patent No. 5,519,977, "Joist Reinforcing Bracket," a bracket that
reinforces wooden joists with a hole for the passage of a utility
conduit.
The Company refers to this as its floor joist patch
kit.
|
U.S.
Patent No. 5,625,997, "Composite Beam," a composite beam that includes
an
elongated metal shell and a pierceable insert for receiving nails,
screws
or other penetrating fasteners.
|
U.S.
Patent No. 5,832,691, "Composite Beam," a composite beam that includes
an
elongated metal shell and a pierceable insert for receiving nails,
screws
or other penetrating fasteners. This is a continuation-in-part
of U.S.
Patent No. 5,625,997.
|
U.S.
Patent No. 5,921,053, "Internally Reinforced Girder with Pierceable
Nonmetal Components," a girder that includes a pair of c-shaped
members
secured together so as to form a hollow box, which permits the
girder to
be secured within a building structure with conventional fasteners
such as
nails, screws and staples.
|
U.S.
Patent Nos. D472,791S, D472,792S, D472,793S, and D477,210S, all
modifications of Metwood's Reinforcing Bracket, which will be used
for
repairs of wood I-joists.
|
Canadian
Patent Nos. 101892, 101893, 101894, and 101895 for the Company's
joist
reinforcing bracket designs.
|
Need
for Government Approval of Principal Products
|
The
Company's products must either be sold with an engineer's seal
or
applicable building code approval. Once that approval is obtained,
the
products can be used in all fifty states. The Company's Floor Joist
Reinforcer received Bureau Officials Code Association ("BOCA")
approval in
April 2001. Currently, the Company's chief engineer has obtained
professional licensure in several states which permit products
not
building code approved to be sold and used with his seal. The Company
expects his licensure in a growing number of states to greatly
assist in
the uniform acceptability of its products as it expands to new
markets.
|
Time
Spent During the Last Two Fiscal Years on Research and Development
Activities
|
Approximately
fifteen percent of the Company's time has been spent during the
last two
fiscal years researching and developing its metal/wood products,
new
product lines, and new patents.
|
Costs
and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
|
The
Company does not incur any costs to comply with environmental laws.
It is
an environmentally friendly business in that its products are fabricated
from recycled steel.
|
Number
of Total Employees and Number of Full-Time
Employees
|
The
Company had thirty-two employees at December 31, 2006, all of whom
were
full time.
|
Results
of Operations
|
Net
Income
|
The
Company had net income of $99,158 for the three months ended December
31,
2006, versus a net loss of $18,134 for the three months ended December
31,
2005, an increase of $117,292. The increase in net income was attributable
both to a growth in Company sales as well as holding the line on
materials
costs comparing 2006 with 2005, incurring only a 3% increase for
the three
months ended December 31, 2006 over 2005 and and a 7% decrease
for the
six-month period ended December 31, 2006 versus
2005.
|
Revenues
|
Revenues
were $1,135,968 for the three months ended December 31, 2006 compared
to
$903,597 for the same period in 2005, an increase of $232,371,
or 26%. For
the six-month periods ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, sales were
$2,286,492 and $2,159,395, respectively, an increase of 6%. The
quarterly
increase in 2006 sales over 2005 resulted from both an increase
in volume
and in selling prices comparing the two periods. Gross margins
increased
significantly, from 39% to 50% for the three months ended December
31,
2006 compared to 2005 and 41% to 48% for the six months ended December
31,
2006 compared to the same period in 2005.
|
The
Company's significant growth in sales in its most recent quarter
resulted
from several factors, including increased engineering fees and
completion
of several large projects. Additionally, the Company experienced
record
sales in November, in part due to the unseasonably mild
weather.
|
Expenses
|
Total
administrative expenses were $411,879 and $798,862 for the three
and six
months ended December 31, 2006, versus $380,709 and $734,256 for
the three
and six months ended December 31, 2005, an increase of $31,170
(8%) and
$64,606 (9%), respectively. Payroll expenses increased 30% and
19% for the
three and six-month periods in 2006 over 2005, including bonuses
paid to
sales staff reflecting the previously noted increase in sales volume
for
those periods, while other costs remained relatively constant from
period
to period.
|
Liquidity
and Capital Reserves
|
On
December 31, 2006, the Company had cash of $75,845 and working
capital of
$2,658,246. Net cash provided by operating activities was $35,373
for the
six months ended December 31, 2006 compared to $25,850 for the
six months
ended December 31, 2005. The increased provision of cash in the
current
year resulted primarily from the collection of accounts receivable
for the
period and an increase in net income as well as a decrease in the
payment
of accounts payable and accrued expenses comparing 2006 to
2005.
|
Cash
used in investing activities was $59,408 for the six months ended
December
31, 2006 compared to cash used of $75,990 during the same period
in the
prior year. Cash flows used in investing activities for the current
period
were for vehicles ($40,999), shop equipment ($11,497), and computers
and
peripherals ($3,554), and leasehold improvements
($3,358).
|
Cash
provided from financing activities for the six months ended December
31,
2006 and 2005 were $-0- and $3,435, respectively.
