Form 10-Q/A for IMPERIAL INDUSTRIES INC


4-Sep-2009

Quarterly Report

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of the Company's financial condition should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and Item 1A "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the Company's actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. As used in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the "Company", "we", "us", and "our" refers to Imperial Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company, and our subsidiaries, including statements made under Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. These forward looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. No assurance can be given that any of such matters will be realized. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward looking statements include, among others, many of which are beyond our control, the following:
realization of tax benefits; impairment of long-lived assets; the ability to collect account or note receivables when due or within a reasonable period of time after they become due and payable; the increased cost of capital and related fees; the outcome of any current or future litigation; the adequacy or availability of insurance coverage for certain types of future product damage claims; the competitive pressure in the industry; unexpected product shortages, or changes in the terms of purchasing products or raw materials that may not be favorable to us, or changes in policies of our vendors that may not be favorable to us; general economic and business conditions; unforeseen weather conditions in our market areas that adversely affects the construction industry; the effectiveness of business strategies and development plans; estimates in capital expenditures; quality of management; business abilities and judgment of personnel; changes in accounting policies and practices in internal controls and requirements, and disclosure controls and procedures and related requirements as may be adopted by regulatory agencies, as well as the Financial Accounting Standards Board, that may adversely affect our costs and operations; the adequacy of our accounting estimates; availability of qualified personnel; and labor and employee benefit costs. (See "Item 1A. Risk Factors" contained in our 2008 Form 10-K Report and herein for a more complete description of risk factors.)

These risks are not exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risks emerge from time to time. We cannot predict such risks nor can we assess the impact, if any, of such risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks may cause actual results to differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements. For example, financial results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future fiscal quarters or for the full year, due to any number of other factors, including the effect weather can have on construction activity. Accordingly, investors and all others are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this document. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in other documents that the Company files with the SEC, before making any investment decision with respect to our securities. If any of the following risks or uncertainties actually occur or develop, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could change. Under these circumstances, the trading prices of our Company's common stock could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment in our Company's common stock.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions. As with all estimates and assumptions, they are subject to an

- 19 -


inherent degree of uncertainty. Management bases these estimates on historical estimates and assumptions on historical results and known trends, as well as, forecasts as to how these might change in the future. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. We believe the following critical accounting policies have a higher degree of judgment and complexity.

Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We recognize revenue when the following four criteria are met:

·

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;

·

Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;

·

Seller's price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and

·

Collectability is reasonably assured.

We generally recognize revenue, net of discounts and allowances, at the point of sale or upon delivery to the customer's site. For goods shipped by third party carriers, we recognize revenue upon shipment since the terms are FOB shipping point.

Provisions for the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense at the end of each reporting period. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an analysis of the aging of accounts receivables, the Company's collateral, if any, securing the amount due, the subsequent collections of the receivables, the current financial condition of the customers with aged receivables, including credit terms offered (most invoices are due within 30 days of receipt) payment history, purchase history and direct communication, and other factors that include changes in (1) general business conditions, such as competitive conditions in the market, and (2) the economic condition of the residential and commercial construction industry. The aging of accounts receivables is based on the number of days an invoice is past due and invoices in the same past due ranges are aggregated. At the end of each fiscal quarter, the Company identifies all customers with significant invoices more than 90 days past due. For each customer, the Company then evaluates each of the factors noted above to arrive at a specific reserve. The Company then considers historical bad debt rates to arrive at a reserve for receivables not over 90 days past due. The aggregate of the specific reserve for over 90 day past due receivables and the reserve for the receivables not yet over 90 days past due represents the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts as of the end of the reporting period. Additionally, at the end of each reporting period, we analyze the historical trend of various ratios including charges to bad debt expense compared to net sales, bad debt write-offs to net sales and the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts to net sales to determine whether the calculated allowance appears adequate. The primary assumption we use for determining our allowance for doubtful accounts is the historical rate of bad debt write offs as a percentage of sales.

Judgment is required in evaluating all of these factors and in determining the appropriate amounts to record in the allowance for doubtful accounts. Additionally, such judgments may prove to be incorrect in the future. We believe that our procedures for estimating such amounts are reasonable and historically have not resulted in material adjustments in subsequent periods. However, if actual market conditions are less favorable than those assumed by management, or if the financial condition of customers were to unexpectedly deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional provisions may be required. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow could be adversely affected.

Inventory Valuation

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the average cost basis. We record a provision to reserve for obsolete and slow moving inventory so that our inventory is reported at estimated net realizable value. The provision is determined by identifying obsolete and slow moving inventory by comparing quantity on hand to historical and projected sales activity. We also consider future sales and price levels at which certain high dollar inventory is expected to be sold in the normal course of business. This information is aggregated and the estimated provision is determined. Judgment is required in evaluating these factors and in determining the appropriate amounts to record in the provision because management must use judgment to estimate when the inventory will be sold and the quantities and prices at which the inventory will be sold in the normal course of business. Accelerating the disposal process or incorrect estimates of future sales potential may cause the actual results to differ from the estimates at the time such inventory is disposed or sold. We believe that our procedures for estimating such amounts are reasonable and historically have not resulted in material adjustments in subsequent periods. However, if actual

- 20 -


market conditions are less favorable than those assumed by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow could be adversely affected.

Litigation

On an ongoing basis, we assess the potential liabilities related to any lawsuits or claims brought against us. While it is typically very difficult to determine the timing and ultimate outcome of such action, we use our best judgment to determine if it is probable that we will incur an expense related to the settlement or final adjudication of such matters and whether a reasonable estimation of such probable loss, if any, can be made. We accrue legal fees and a loss contingency when we believe a loss is probable and the amount of loss and legal fees can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inherent uncertainties related to the eventual outcome of litigation, it is possible that certain matters may be resolved for amounts materially different from any provisions or disclosures that have been previously made.

Asset Impairment

Whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of our assets may not be fully recoverable, we do an initial analysis of long-lived assets whereby we estimate the undiscounted future cash flow of these assets. If such analysis indicates that a possible impairment may exist, we are required to then estimate the fair value of the asset, principally determined either by third party appraisals, sales price negotiations or estimated discounted future cash flows, which includes estimating the timing of the future cash flows, discount rates and reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk.

The determination of fair value includes numerous uncertainties. We believe that we have made reasonable estimates and judgments in determining whether our long-lived assets have been impaired. However, if there is a material change in the assumptions used in our determination of fair values or if there is a material change in the conditions or circumstances influencing fair value, we could be required to recognize a material non-cash impairment charge.

Income Taxes

We account for income taxes using the liability method. This method requires that the deferred tax consequences of temporary differences between the amounts recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements and the amounts included in our federal and state income tax returns be recognized in the balance sheet. As we generally do not file our income tax returns until after the closing process for the year end financial statements is complete, the amounts recorded at year end reflect estimates of what the final amounts will be when the actual income tax returns are filed for that fiscal year. In addition, estimates are often required with respect to, among other things, the appropriate state income tax rates to use in the various states in which we and our subsidiaries are required to file, the potential utilization of any operating and capital loss carry-forwards for both federal and state income tax purposes and valuation allowances required, if any, for tax assets that may not be realizable in the future. We believe that it is more likely than not that the amounts recorded as deferred income tax assets will not be recoverable through future taxable income generated by us. As a result, the Company recorded a 100% valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. We believe the procedures and estimates used in our accounting for income taxes are reasonable and in accordance with established tax law.

General and Recent Developments

As a result of the Assignment signed June 11, 2009, all assets, subject to any liabilities thereof, of Just-Rite were transferred to the Assignee, a non-affiliated party, who is in the process of winding down the operations of Just-Rite and liquidating all the assets and using such proceeds for expenses and reduction of Just-Rite's liabilities in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. The Company no longer operates distribution facilities selling a wide range of building products.

Through our subsidiary, Premix, we are engaged in the manufacture and distribution of building materials to primarily building materials dealers and others located primarily in Florida. We have one manufacturing plant in Winter Springs, Florida and one distribution facility in Pompano Beach, Florida for Premix manufactured products. The Company's corporate office is located in Premix's distribution facility.

Our business is driven primarily by the level of residential and commercial construction activity in the Southeast United States, particularly in the state of Florida. The level of construction activity is dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, the general state of the economy, credit markets, population growth, inventory of available residential and commercial units, government growth policies and construction funding.

General construction activity had been strong in the Southeastern United States during several years preceding the second quarter of 2006. During the second quarter of 2006, residential construction demand began to be impacted by a number of factors, including higher interest rates, an increase in available inventory of unsold new and existing homes, and a general moderation in economic conditions compared to prior periods. As a consequence, residential construction activity and applications for building permits for construction of new residential units, considered a strong indicator for future construction activity, declined sharply in Florida and other Southern United States markets during the years 2007, 2008 and into 2009 as economic conditions worsened.

Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared and are presented assuming the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The industry in which the Company is operating has been impacted by a number of adverse factors over the past three and a half years. As a result, the Company has incurred losses for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008. Our independent registered public accounting firm issued its report dated March 27, 2009 in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2008 that included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

In order to address the need to satisfy its continuing obligations and realize its long term strategy, management has been reviewing various strategic alternatives and has taken several steps and is considering additional actions to improve its operating and financial results, which we hope will be sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern, including the following:

·

We divested the entire Just-Rite operation as of June 11, 2009 via the Assignment which transferred all assets, subject to any liabilities thereof, of Just-Rite to the Assignee who is winding down, selling and liquidating the assets of Just-Rite for the benefit of creditors in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. The Company no longer operates any of the assets or business of Just-Rite since the date of the Assignment.

·

We are continuing to implement cost reduction initiatives to reduce unnecessary costs in our operations and to conserve working capital. We have implemented more stringent credit and collection procedures and controls in an attempt to reduce days outstanding of trade accounts receivable and improve working capital.

·

We eliminated cash bonuses for all senior management in 2008 and reduced compensation for senior management and other employees. In addition, we have continued to make personnel reductions subsequent to June 30, 2009.

·

We have consolidated our manufacturing operations by shifting the manufacturing in Pompano Beach, Florida to Winter Springs, Florida and we moved our corporate office into the distribution center in Pompano Beach to reduce costs.

·

We are seeking financing from other sources, including the possibility of an infusion of equity, to generate additional funds for operations and to take advantage of lower interest rates, including the retention of an investment banker to seek funding and evaluate other strategic alternatives.

There is no assurance that the above actions will allow the Company to continue as a going concern.

Discontinued Operations

We closed three distribution facilities located in Panama City Beach, Florida, Norcross, Georgia and Tampa, Florida in May 2008, September 2008 and November 2008, respectively. We closed two distribution facilities in Tallahassee, Florida and Mobile, Alabama in January 2009.

In addition, the Assignment discussed in Note 3 transferred all assets on June 11, 2009, subject to any liabilities thereof, of Just-Rite to the Assignee who will wind down, sell and liquidate the assets of Just-Rite for the benefit of creditors in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. The Company no longer operates any of the assets or business of Just-Rite from the date of the Assignment. As a result, Just-Rite's results of operations will be presented as discontinued operations in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009.

Revenue and pretax loss from the Just-Rite disposal group reported in discontinued operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 include operations of Just-Rite for the period January 1, 2009 through June 11, 2009 and from April 1, 2009 through June 11, 2009, respectively. Revenue and pretax loss from the Just-Rite disposal group reported in discontinued operations are summarized below:

The carrying amount of the major classes of assets and liabilities that are included in the Just-Rite discontinued operations disposal group are as follows:

Six and Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 compared to 2008

Net sales decreased $686,000 and $319,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009, or 12.8% and 11.1%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The decrease in net sales was principally due to a reduction in demand for our products in the residential and commercial construction industries related to the decline in construction activity in the Southeast United States.

- 23 -


Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was approximately 28.9% and 30.1% for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 29.9% and 32.0% for the same period of 2008. The decrease in the margin is due primarily to pricing pressures caused by the overall condition of the industry. We expect the continued reduced levels of demand for our products and more intense competitive conditions from the decline in residential and commercial construction activity to continue to cause pressure on our gross profit margins through the remainder of 2009.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include the amortization of a previously deferred gain from the sale of certain assets of $127,000 in the first quarter of 2008. This deferred gain was fully amortized in the first quarter of 2008. Without the offset of this gain, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $158,000 and $71,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was due primarily to a decrease in payroll and related costs of $131,000 due to a reduction in personnel and pay cuts, a decrease in professional fees of $116,000, a decrease in delivery costs of $69,000 and a decrease in travel and entertainment expenses of $36,000. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $129,000 in one-time restructuring fees related to the discontinued operations of Just-Rite.

The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was due primarily to a decrease in payroll and related costs of $76,000, a decrease in professional fees of $43,000 a decrease in delivery costs of $29,000 and a decrease in travel and entertainment expenses of $12,000.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2009 were 42.9% and 42.5% compared to 40.4% and 40.3% for the same periods in 2008. The increases in both the six months and three months ended June 30, 2009 was due primarily to certain fixed costs being spread over lower sales volume. A significant portion of our selling, general and administrative expenses are fixed in nature which do not fluctuate directly with changes in net sales.

For the six and three months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized an accrued loss contingency expense of $627,000 associated with our guarantee of certain Just-Rite obligations transferred to the Assignee which may remain outstanding after the liquidation of the underlying collateralized assets.

Interest expense increased $20,000 and $12,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same period in 2008. The increase was due primarily to the sale-leaseback of our Winter Springs manufacturing facility and increased interest rates on our line of credit.

Other (expense) income increased $174,000 and $25,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The increase for the six month period is due primarily to the recognition of $193,000 of other income from the settlement of pending litigation against DFH's insurance carrier in the first quarter in 2009 compared to zero in the same period in 2008.

Income tax benefit decreased $385,000 and $427,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008. The decrease is due to the Company not recording a tax benefit due to the uncertainty of realization of the benefit.

As a result of the above factors, we had a net loss from continuing operations of $1,166,000 and $983,000 or $0.46 and $0.39, respectively, for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009. Additionally, we had a net loss from discontinued operations of $1,268,000 and $653,000 or $0.50 and $0.26, respectively for the six and three months ended June 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2009, we had negative working capital of $452,000 (restated) compared to working capital of $2,021,000 at December 31, 2008. The decrease in working capital was due primarily to the reclassification of Just-Rite's long term debt to current as a result of the Assignment as disclosed n Note 3, decrease in income tax receivable, current assets held for sale, partially offset by a decrease in notes payable - line of credit. At June 30, 2009, we had . . .
