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:

|
||||||||

|
||||||||
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.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
|
|||||||||
MARCH
31,
2008
|
|||||||||
(UNAUDITED)
|
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 March 31, 2008 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
entire
fiscal year ending June 30, 2008.
|
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 March 31, 2008, 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 bad debt expense when determined
uncollectible. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007, the amount of bad debts charged off was $2,554 and $7,416
respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007, the amount of bad debts charged off was $6,735 and $30,887,
respectively including chargeoffs relating to receivables which
have been
awarded to th
|
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, 2007
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.

STATEMENTS

MARCH

(UNAUDITED)
|
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. Research and development costs for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $11,615 and $-0-,
respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007, the expenses relating to research and development were $19,191
and
$8,000, 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 quarters 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 March 2008, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment
of FASB
Statement No. 133," ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 requires enhanced
disclosures about an entity's derivative and hedging activities,
including
(i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how
derivative
instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS
133, and
(iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect
an
entity's financial position, financial performance and cash
flows. This standard becomes effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November
15,
2008. As SFAS 161 only requires enhanced disclosures, this
standard will have no impact of the Company's financial
statements
|
|||||||||
In
December 2007, the FASB issued
Statement of Financial Accountaing Standards ("SFAS") No. 141 (revised
2007), "Business Combinations," which replaces SFAS No.
141. The statement retains the purchase method of accounting
for acquisitions, but requires a number of changes, including changes
in
the way assets and liabilities are recognized in the purchase
accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired
and liabilities assumed arising from contingencies, requires the
capitalization of in-process research and development at fair value,
and
requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as
incurred. SFAS No. 141 (revised) is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008 and will apply prospectively
to business
combinations completed on or after that date. We are currently
assessing the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 141 (revised)
would have on our financial
statements.
|
In
December 2007, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 160, "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements, an amendment of ARB 51," which changes the accounting
and
reporting for minority interests. Minority interests will be
recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and will be reported
as a
component of equity separate from the parent's equity, and purchases
or
sales of equity interests that do not result in a change in control
will
be accounted for as equity transactions. In addition, net
income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included
in
consolidated net income on the face of the income statement and,
upon a
loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained,
will
be recorded at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in
earnings. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2008 and will apply prospectively, except for
the
presentation and disclosure requirements, which will apply
retrospectively. We are currently assessing

On
July 1, 2007, we adopted the
provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting
for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement
No.
109," which provides a financial statement recognition threshold
and
measurement attribute for a tax position taken or expected to be
taken in
a tax return. Under FIN 48, we may 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 should
be
measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50%
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48
also provides guidance on derecognition of income tax assets and
liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax
assets and
liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with
tax
positions, and income tax

February 2007, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose
to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at
fair
value. The objective of SFAS 159 is to improve financial
reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate
volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets
and
liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting
provisions. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007. We have not completed our evaluation
of SFAS 159, but we do not currently believe that it will have
a material
impact on our results of operations or financial
position.

|||||||||
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

|
|||||||||
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
|
|||||||||
The
Company's sales are primarily
retail, directly to contractors and do-it-yourself homeowners in
Virginia
and North Carolina. 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 and 84 Lumber. Metwood relies primarily on its
own sales force to generate sales; additionally, however, the Company
has
distributors in Virginia, New York, Oklahoma, Arizona, Colorado
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.
|
|||||||||
Status
of Publicly Announced New Products or Services
|
|||||||||
The
Company has acquired four new
patents through assignment from Robert M. Callahan and Ronald B.
Shiflett,
the patent holders. All four patents reflect various
modifications to the Company's Joist Reinforcing Bracket which
will make
it even easier for tradesmen to insert utility conduits through
wood
joists.
|
|||||||||
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.
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.
|
Each
of these patents was
originally issued to the inventors and Company founders, Robert
Callahan
and Ronald B. Shiflett, who licensed these patents to the
Company.
|
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 and resources have 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 twenty-seven
employees at March 31, 2008, twenty-six of whom were full
time.
|
Results
of
Operations
|
Net
Income
|
The
Company had net income of
$39,768 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, versus $47,229
for the
three months ended March 31, 2007, a decrease of $7,461. The
decrease in net income for the three months ended March 31, 2008
compared
to 2007 was attributable primarily to higher materials costs in
the
construction area as a percentage of gross sales and sales that
did not
reach 2007 levels. Likewise, for the nine months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007, the Company's net income was $135,109 and $240,061,
respectively, a decrease of $104,952. Although sales increased
slightly (2%) comparing 2008 to 2007, that increase was not enough
to
offset higher costs of construction sales (21%) which resulted
from
increased materials costs, fuel cost, vehicle repair and maintence,
and
labor. Some savings did occur, however, primarily in insurance
cost decreases (new carrier and better workers compensation experience
ratings), volume discounts obtained on hangers, and use of less
wood in
our beams.
|
Sales
|
Revenues
were $1,022,673 for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $1,056,854 for the
same
period in 2007, a decrease of $34,181, or 3%. For the
nine-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, sales were $3,423,412
and $3,343,345, respectively, an increase of $80,067, or
2%. The sales decline for the three-month period in 2008 versus
2007 reflects a general downtown in the building
industry. Although the Company has sold product in over
twenty-five states since July 2007, our local market is down
20%. Nonetheless, sales for the nine months ended March 31,
2008 were greater than for 2007 in part because the Company has
continued
to expand its market outside the local area, generating increasing
revenues outside Virginia. Additionally, truss sales have
increased over 2007, and the commercial market has overcome some
of the
residential downturn. The potential for increased sales volume
as the Company goes forward is enhanced by the fact that we are
now an
authorized fabricator for the Dynatru
|
Expenses
|
Total
administrative expenses were
$358,296 and $1,050,032 for the three and nine months ended March
31,
2008, versus $352,256 and $1,151,118 for the three and nine months
ended
March 31, 2007, an increase of $6,040 (2%) for the three-month
period and
a decrease of $101,086 (9%) for the nine-month period. For the
three months ended March 31, 2008 versus 2007, insurance costs
declined
27% and travel costs declined 75% due to elimination of shows;
however,
the savings in these areas was offset by increases in professional
fees,
research and development, and other expenses, resulting in the
increase in
2008 over 2007. For the nine months ended March 31, 2008
compared to 2007, advertising costs decreased significantly (14%)
as we
were more selective in the industries and areas targeted for
marketing. We studied the results of the 2006/2007 shows and
were able to eliminate several of them due to low
ROI. Insurance costs declined as well (18%) as we chose a new
carrier and were able to make changes that resulte vehicle expense
due to increased maintenance and fuel costs; research and development,
including code compliance studies on our 2810HR, posts, beams and
I-joist
reinforcers; and fire testing for our beams.
|
|
Liquidity
and Capital Reserves
|
On
March 31, 2008, the Company had
cash of $136,015 and working capital of $1,674,560. Net cash
provided by operating activities was $209,313 for the nine months
ended
March 31, 2008 compared to $266,130 for the nine months ended March
31,
2007. The lower provision of cash from operating activities in
the current year resulted primarily from the paydown of accounts
payable
partially offset by refunded income taxes and a decrease in other
operating assets.
|
Cash
used in investing activities
was $111,399 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, compared
to cash
used of $142,723 during the same period in the prior year. Cash
flows used in investing activities for the current period were
for
vehicles ($6,000 less asset removals of $21,850); shop equipment
$76,051);
computers and peripherals and furniture and fixtures ($18,240);
website
development ($6,175); and leasehold and land improvements
($26,783).
|
Cash
used in financing activities
was $186 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to $-0-
for the
period ended March 31, 2007. Proceeds from the issuance of
common stock of $26,614 was offset by repayment of the Company's
credit
line ($25,000) and by the cost of treasury stock
($1,800).
