2.      STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

2.  INVENTORIES

Inventories consistOn May 19, 2005 the shareholders of the Company authorized the Gibraltar Industries, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Under the terms of the Plan, the Board of Directors of the Company may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance shares, performance share units, or rights or combinations thereof to officers, directors and employees.  The aggregate number of shares that may be distributed under the plan is limited to 2,250,000 shares of common stock.  Of that number, no more than 1,350,000 shares can be awarded in form of restricted shares and restricted units, and no more than 900,000 shares can be awarded in the form of incentive stock options and rights.  Option grants under the Plan must be made prior to February 19, 2015, and are exercisable at the discretion of the Board of Directors in no event more than 10 years from the date of grant.

Upon approval of the Plan, 283,036 restricted units, 20,000 restricted shares, and 2,016 non qualified options were issued to officers, directors and employees.  At June 30, 2005, 1,944,928 shares were available to grant under the Plan.  Of these shares, 1,046,964 shares were available to grant as restricted shares and restricted units and 900,000 shares were available to grant as incentive stock options and rights.

The Company accounts for the Plan under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25("APB No. 25"), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations. Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of the grant between the fair value of the common stock and the exercise price of the award. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation", to stock-based employee compensation (in thousands)thousands, except per share data):

5.6.      ACQUISITIONS

On April 1, 2003, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Construction Metals, Inc. (Construction Metals).  Construction Metals is headquartered in Ontario, California and is a manufacturer of a wide array of building and construction products that are sold to retail and wholesale customers throughout the western United States.  The acquisition of Construction Metals allowed the Company to strengthen its distribution network in the building products market.  The results of operations of Construction Metals (included in the Company's Building Products segment) have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

The aggregate purchase consideration for the acquisition of Construction Metals was approximately $29,185,000, which was comprised of approximately $11,685,000 in cash, including direct acquisition costs, and $17,500,000 of unsecured subordinated debt, payable to the former owners of Construction Metals.  The purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon respective fair market values.  The fair market values of the property, plant and equipment and identifiable intangible assets are supported by an independent valuation.  The identifiable intangible assets consisted of non-competition agreements with an aggregate fair market value of approximately $830,000.  See Note 6 for further discussion.  The excess consideration over such fair value was recorded as goodwill and aggregated approximately $19,546,000, none of which is deductible for tax purposes.  The allocation of purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is as follows (in thousands):

Borrowings under this credit agreement carry interest at LIBOR plus a fixed rate of between 57.5 basis points and 137.5 basis points, based on a long-term liquidity ratio.  At June 30, 2005 the weighted average interest rate was 4.01%.

 

9.       NEW DEBT

In June 2004, the Company entered into a $75.0 million private placement of debt with The Prudential Insurance Company of America.  This senior secured note bears interest at 5.75% annually and has a seven year term.  The Company drew down $25.0 million at the inception of the note which was outstanding at June 30, 2004, and will draw down the remaining $50.0 million at specified dates and amounts which coincide with the expiration of the interest rate swap agreements currently outstanding under the Company's existing revolving credit facility.  The initial $25.0 million borrowing under this note was used to pay down a portion of the existing revolving credit facility.

10.11.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

In connection with the acquisition of Construction Metals, the Company entered into two unsecured subordinated notes payable each in the amount of $8,750,000 (aggregate total of $17,500,000). These notes are payable to the two former owners of Construction Metals and are considered related party in nature due to the former owners' current employment relationship with the Company.  These notes are payable in three equal annual principal installments of $2,917,000 per note, beginning on April 1, 2004, with the final principal payment due on April 1, 2006.  These notes require quarterly interest payments at an interest rate of 5.0% per annum.  At June 30, 2005 and 2004, the current portion of these notes aggregated approximately $5,834,000.  

$5,833,000.  Accrued interest and interest expense related to these notes payable was approximately $73,000 and $145,000 as of June 30, 2005 and 2004 and $217,000 and $359,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004.2005 and 2004, respectively. 

 

The Company has certain operating lease agreements related to operating locations and facilities with the former owners of Construction Metals or companies controlled by these parties.  These operating leases are considered to be related party in nature.  Rental expense associated with these related party operating leases aggregated approximately $741,000 and $552,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

11.   STOCK OPTIONS

In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition2005 and Disclosure which amends SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require disclosures in both the annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.  As allowed by SFAS 123, the Company follows the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 and SFAS 148, but continues to account for its stock options using the intrinsic value-based method of accounting as prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB Opinion No. 25).  Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock option plans, as stock options granted under these plans have an exercise price equal to 100% of the underlying stock price on the date of grant. 

The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net income and net income per share, had the Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock based employee compensation pursuant to the provisions of SFAS 123 and SFAS 148 (in thousands, except per share data):

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Executive Summary

The condensed consolidated financial statements present the financial condition of the Company as of June 30, 20042005 and December 31, 2003,2005, and the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 20042005 and 20032004 and cash flows of the Company for six months ended June 30, 20042005 and 2003.2004.

The Company is organized into three reportable segments - Processed SteelMetal Products, Building Products and Heat Treating.Thermal Processing.  The Company also held equity positions in two joint ventures as of June 30, 2004.2005.

The Processed SteelMetal Products segment produces a wide variety of cold-rolled strip steel products, coated sheet steel products, powdered metal products and strapping products.  This segment primarily serves the automotive industry's leaders, such as General Motors, Ford, Chrysler and Honda. This segment also serves the automotive supply and commercial and residential metal building industry, as well as the power and hand tool and hardware industries. 

The Building Products segment processes primarily sheet steel, aluminum and other materials to produce a wide variety of building and construction products. This segment's products are sold to major retail home centers, such as The Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards and Wal-Mart.  In January 2004, the Company acquired Renown Specialties Company Ltd. (Renown), a manufacturer and distributor of construction hardware products in Canada. The acquisition of Renown served to broaden the Company's product lines and strengthen its existing position in the building products market.

The Heat TreatingThermal Processing segment primarily provides a wide array of processes which refine the metallurgical properties of customer-owned metal products for a variety of consumer and industrial applications where critical performance characteristics are required. Additionally, with the June 1, 2004 acquisition of SCM Metal Products, Inc. (SCM), this segment now manufactures non-ferrous metal powder products, including brazing paste, roofing shingles, oil-less bearings and friction products, to the automotive, aerospace, electronics and consumer products industries.  Some of these products are used by other operations of the Company.  This segment services such customers as General Motors, Ford, Eaton Corporation, Dana Corporation and International Truck.

Results of Operations

Consolidated

 

Net sales increased by approximately $54.1$39.3 million, or 26.6%15.8% to $257.5$288.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004,2005, from net sales of $203.4$249.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.2004. Net sales increased by approximately $104.6$108.3 million, or 28.6%23.9% to $469.5$562.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004,2005, from net sales of $364.9$453.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003.2004.  The increase in net sales for the quarter was partly due to the addition of net sales of Air Vent (acquired May 1, 2003), Renown (acquired January 1, 2004), and SCM (acquired June 1, 2004) which contributed approximately $37.7$11.3 million in additional net sales.The remaining increase results primarily from increased product shipping volumes combined with higher selling prices.  The increase in the net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was due primarily to the addition of net sales of Construction Metals (acquired April 1, 2003), Air Vent, Renownboth volume and SCM which contributed $84.1 million in additional net sales.selling price increases The remaining increase in net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was the result of both volume and selling price increases.  Inthe addition of net sales of SCM which contributed $28.8 million in additional net sales.    Due to the effects of availability and pricingincrease in demand for steel one ofduring the major raw materials used in the Company's manufacturing operations, had a major impact on reported sales.  Sales, particularly in the Building Product segment, were favorably impacted by increased demand for the Company's products.  Due to an increase in global demand for steel,during 2004, especially in China, steel producers are experiencingexperienced a shortage of steel scrap and coke, two key materials used in the manufacture of steel. The shortage of these raw materials has resulted in significant increases in both steel demand and steel pricing.pricing throughout 2004.  The increase in steel demandpricing, which has been partially passed on to our customers in the form of higher selling prices, along with an increase in the Company's sales and market penetration, which was the result of new and innovative product offerings, as well as enhancements in supply solutions for the Company's customers, had a significant impact on increased sales volumes on both the three and six month periods. In addition to volume increases, net sales dollars during the periods were also favorably impacted by the Company's ability to pass on a portion of the recent raw material cost increases and steel surcharges to its customers in the form of higher selling prices.

 

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increaseddecreased to 22.6%19.6% for the quarter ended June 30, 2004,2005, from 19.9%22.8% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.2004. Gross profit margins increaseddecreased to 21.5%19.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2004,2005, from 19.1%21.6% for the same period in 2003.2004.  These improvementsdeclines were primarily due to higher salesthe result of material and production volumes combined withenergy cost increases that have not been fully recovered in increased selling pricesprices.  The decline in gross margins for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2005 were partially offset by reductions in labor cost and transportation expenses as a percentage of net sales, as compared to the increased cost of raw materials, primarily steel.same periods in the prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increaseddecreased to $30.7$27.2 million during the second quarter of 20042005 from $23.2$29.7 million in the same quarter of 2003, an increase2004, a decrease of approximately $7.5$2.5 million, or 32.5%8.4%.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 20042005 increased to $55.3$56.4 million from $41.6$53.3 million for the same period in 2003,2004, an increase of $13.7$3.1 million or approximately 32.8%5.8%.  The primary reasons for the increasedecrease in both the three and six month periodsperiod is the inclusion of a full quarter of expenses for Air Vent (acquired May 1, 2003), increaseddecreased expenses related to incentive based compensation  of approximately $1.9 million and a significant increasesdecline in costs to comply with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.  Act of approximately $1.2 million as the project consumed significant external resources during the second quarter of 2004. The increase for the six month period is the result of increased salaries, increased professional services expense experienced in the first quarter of 2005, and the addition of $1.8 million of costs from SCM (acquired June 2004).As a result, selling, general and administrative expenses increasedas a percentage of net sales decreased to 11.9%9.4% from 11.4%11.9% and to 11.8%10.0% from 11.4%11.8% for the three and six month periods, respectively.

 

IncomeAs a result of the above, income from continuing operations as a percentage of net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 increased2005 decreased to 10.7%10.2% from 8.5%10.9% for the same period in 2003.2004.  Income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2004 increased2005 decreased to 9.8%8.9% from 7.7%9.9% for the comparable period last year.

Equity in partnerships' income increaseddecreased by approximately $1.0$1.3 million and $1.5$1.4 million for the quarter ended and six months ended June 30, 2004,2005, respectively, from the comparable prior periods.  These increasesdecreases are primarily due to the inclusionCompany's share of the losses incurred during the second quarter from the Company's equity interest in Gibraltar DFC, a joint venture.  The losses were incurred as the joint venture entered into in December 2003.lost significant volume to a competitor that has cut selling prices below market levels.

Interest expense decreasedincreased by approximately $500,000$800,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 20042005 to $3.2$3.8 million from $3.7$3.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2003.  This decrease was due to the reduced debt levels in 2004 caused by the use of the proceeds from the Company's stock offering in December 2003 to pay down debt and the higher average borrowings in the 2003 quarter due to borrowings related to the acquisition of Construction Metals and Air Vent.2004.  Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was comparable to the interest expense for the same period in 2003. 

Income before taxes increased by $11.8 million to $25.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and $19.0 million to $41.0approximately $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003,2005 to $7.7 million from $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004.This increase was due to the higher average borrowings in 2005 caused by the acquisition of SCM in June 2004 and increased working capital requirements as commodity cost increases drove higher levels of inventory and higher sales increased accounts receivable.

As a result of the above, income from continuing operations before taxes increased by $0.1 million to $25.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and $2.2 million to $42.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the same periods in 2003.2004.

Income taxes for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 20042005 approximated $10.0$9.9 million and $16.2$16.7 million, respectively and were based on a 39.5%39.0% effective tax rate compared to 40%39.5% in 2003.2004.  The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of the qualified production activities deduction under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.  When fully phased in, a deduction of 9% of the lesser of qualified production activities income or taxable income after net operating loss deductions will be allowed.  The deduction is also limited to 50% of Form W-2 wages.  Based upon preliminary analyses completed by the Company, the impact for 2005 is not expected to be significant.

Outlook

 

The outlook for the quarter ended September 30, 2004 is favorable inIn comparison to the quarter ended September 30, 2003.  The2004, we expect a challenging third quarter in 2005.  While the Company believes it is positioned to benefit from many of its internal growth initiatives and cost reduction programs, as well as the many operational improvements recently put in place. In addition,place, the decline in the market pricing for steel, and the related demand for lower selling prices from our customers, particularly in our Processed Metals segment, is expected to cause a further reduction in gross margins, particularly in our Processed Metals segment, during the third quarter as we work through higher priced on hand inventories.  Demand for the Company's products remains strong in light of the general overall economic trends and the relatively strong outlook in the housing and automotive markets.

To date, the Company has been successful in managing material cost increases through increases in selling prices. However, the Company cannot assure that if material costs and related cost pressures continue, it will be able to pass these increases along to its customers.

In 2004,2005, the Company will realize a full yearsyear's worth of sales and earnings from the 2003 acquisitions2004 acquisition of Construction Metals and Air Vent.  Also, the results of the SCM acquisition will be included in the Company's sales and earnings for the remaining six months of 2004.   In addition, the Company is continuously evaluating numerous acquisition opportunities, and the Company's recent stock offering provides it with the increased resources and financial flexibility to capitalize on such opportunities. 


Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company's principal capital requirements are to fund its operations, including working capital, the purchase and funding of improvements to its facilities, machinery and equipment and to fund acquisitions.


The Company's shareholders' equity increased by approximately $31.3$24.1 million or 8.0%5.3%, to $425.5$477.9 million, at June 30, 2004.2005.  This increase in shareholder's equity was primarily due to net income of $24.8$26.2 million, the receipt of $5.0 million in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock, as well as proceeds of $2.7 million$500,000 from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by the declaration of approximately $1.8$3.0 million in shareholder dividends.

During the first six months of 2004,2005, the Company's working capital (inclusive of the impact of working capital acquired from the 2004 acquisitions), increased by approximately $36.7$18.8 million, or 24.4%7.8%, to approximately $187.4$261.1 million. This increase in working capital was primarily the result of increasesan increase in accounts receivable and inventory levels of $60.3$25.9 million and $33.7 million, respectively. These increases in working capital were offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses which aggregated $40.1 million and$6.4 million.  These increases in working capital were offset by reductions in inventory levels, cash and cash equivalents, of approximately $18.7 million.   

On June 1, 2004, the Company purchased theand other current assets of the Copper Powder Division of SCM Metals Products, Inc.  The Company paid approximately $41.7$8.2 million, in cash for the acquisition, which included direct acquisition costs.$3.9 million, and $1.4 million, respectively.   

Net cash provided by continuing operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 20042005 was approximately $1.6$3.2 million and was primarily the result of net income from continuing operations of $24.8$26.5 million combined with depreciation and amortization of $12.0$13.3 million, the provision for deferred income taxesincreases in accounts receivable of $2.2$32.9 million increasesand decreases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $36.2$3.9 million, offset by an increasedecrease in accounts receivable and inventories of $47.0 million and $25.4 million, respectively.$1.9 million.

 

In addition to the net cash provided by operating activities, the Company realized net proceeds of $5.0 million from the issuance of common stock and cash generated from the proceeds of long-term debt of $57.7 million, which included $25.0 million in new term debt and $2.7 million generated by the exercise of stock options.  These resources together with theThe cash on hand at the beginning of the year wereperiod, along with the cash generated from operations and the cash from the disposition of Milcor of $42.6 million, was used to pay down $25.5 million of the Company's revolving credit debt, to fund current operations, acquisitions of $48.6 million (net of cash acquired), capital expenditures of $10.3$10.4 million and pay cash dividendsdividend payments of $1.8 million.  Capital spending$3.0 million, along with the repayment of $37.4 million of debt.

On April 1, 2005, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement with a consortium of banks that established a revolving line of credit, and provides for the balanceissuance of the yearletters of credit and swing line loans through April 2010.  There is expected to be in a range of $7.0 to $8.0 million.

The Company's revolving credit facility, which expires in June 2007, provides for an aggregate borrowing limit of up to $290.0 million.  Additionally,$250,000,000 available under the revolving credit facility containsnew Credit Agreement, with a $10.0 million$50,000,000 expansion feature at the Company's option, subject to approval by the participating financial institutions.  Borrowings thereunder areThe credit facility is secured withby substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable, inventoriesinventory, equipment and fixtures and other personal property and equipment.property.  In conjunction with the new Credit Agreement, the Company terminated its existing credit facility.  At June 30, 2004,2005, the Company had used approximately $150.0 million of the revolving credit facility, resulting$125,500,000 in $140.0 million in availability.  At June 30, 2004, the Company had interest rate swap agreements outstanding which effectively converted $50.0 million of borrowings under its revolving credit agreement to fixed interest rates ranging from 7.22% to 7.93%.  Additional borrowingsavailability under the revolving credit facilityfacility.  Borrowings under this credit agreement carry interest at LIBOR plus a fixed rate.  At June 30, 2004, additional borrowings under2005 the revolving credit facility aggregated approximately $100.0 million.  The weighted average interest rate of these additional borrowings was 2.92% at June 30, 2004.4.01%.

The Company's revolving credit facility contains various debt covenants.  At June 30, 20042005 the Company was in full compliance with all covenants.

In 2002, the Company entered into a $50.0 million private placement of debt with The Prudential Insurance Company of America, which consists of a $25.0 million senior secured note bearing interest at 7.35% annually, due on July 3, 2007 and a $25.0 million senior subordinated note, bearing interest at 8.98% annually, due on January 3, 2008.  At June 30, 2004,2005, the total principal balance of the private placement debt aggregated $50.0 million, none of which is due within the current fiscal year.           

 

In June 2004, the Company entered into a $75.0 million private placement of debt with The Prudential Insurance Company of America.  This senior secured note bears interest at 5.75% annually and has a seven year term.  The Company had $55.0 million outstanding at December 31, 2004, drew down $25.0 million at the inception of the note and will draw down the remaining $50.0 million at specified dates and amounts which coincide with the expiration of the interest rate swap agreements currently outstanding under the Company's existing revolving credit facility.  The initial $25.0 million borrowing under this note was used to pay down a portion of the existing revolving credit facility.

In January 2004, the underwriters of the Company's December 2003 common stock offering exercised their over-allotment option, and purchased an additional 214,625 shares$10.0 million during the first quarter of 2005, and is scheduled to draw the Company's common stock at $24.75 per share.  Net proceeds toremainder during the Company fromthird quarter of 2005.  At June 30, 2005 the purchasetotal principal balance of these additional shares were approximately $5.0this private placement debt aggregated $65.0 million, and were used to further reducenone of which is due within the Company's outstanding debt. current fiscal year.

For the third quarter and remainder of 2004,2005, the Company continues to focusedfocus on maximizing positive cash flow and working capital management. The Company is currently examining ways to optimize its existing capital structure, particularly the debt component, in light of the Company's long-term growth and acquisition initiatives. The Company is looking to put in place a capital structure which provides the Company with the capability to engage in larger and potentially more complex acquisitions, while still providing the flexibility to run the day-to-day operations of the business. Additionally, the Company broadly estimates the cost of Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, which does not include internal resources, will range between $2.0 million and $3.0 million for the upcoming year-ending December 31, 2004. As of June 30, 2004,2005, the Company believes that availability of funds under its existing credit facility together with the cash generated from operations will be sufficient to provide the Company with the liquidity and capital resources necessary to support its principal capital requirements, including operating activities, capital expenditures, and dividends.

The Company regularly considers various strategic business opportunities including acquisitions. The Company evaluates such potential acquisitions on the basis of their ability to enhance the Company's existing products, operations, or capabilities, as well as provide access to new products, markets and customers. Although no assurances can be given that any acquisition will be consummated, the Company may finance such acquisitions through a number of sources including internally available cash resources, new debt financing, the issuance of equity securities or any combination of the above.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principlesU.S. generally accepted in the United States of Americaaccounting principles requires management to make decisions based upon estimates, assumptions, and factors it considers relevant to the circumstances.  Such decisions include the selection of applicable principles and the use of judgment in their application, the results of which could differ from those anticipated.

 

A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the Company's consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2003,2004, as filed on Form 10-K.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company's most criticalFinancial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004) (SFAS No. 123R), Share-Based Payment, in December 2004.  SFAS No. 123R is a revision of FASB Statement 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and its related implementation guidance. The Statement focuses primarily on accounting policies include: valuation of accounts receivable,for transactions in which impacts selling, general and administrative expense; valuation of inventory, which impactsan entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123R requires a public entity to measure the cost of sales and gross margin; and the assessmentemployee services received in exchange for an award of recoverability of goodwill and other intangible and long-lived assets, which impacts write-offs of goodwill, intangibles and long-lived assets.  Management reviews the estimates, including, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts and inventory reserves on a regular basis and makes adjustments based on historical experiences, current conditions and future expectations.  The reviews are performed regularly and adjustments are made as required by current available information.  Management believes these estimates are reasonable, but actual results could differ from these estimates.

The Company's accounts receivable represent those amounts which have been billed to the Company's customers but not yet collected.  Management analyzes various factors including historical experience, credit worthiness of customers and current market and economic conditions.  The allowance for doubtful accounts balance is establishedequity instruments based on the portion of those accounts receivable which are deemed to be potentially uncollectible.  Changes in judgments on these factors could impact the timing of costs recognized.

The Company states its inventories at lower of cost or market.  The cost basis of the Company's inventory is determined on a first-in-first-out basis using either actual costs or a standard cost methodology which approximates actual cost.

Intangible assets with estimable useful lives (which consist primarily of non-competition agreements) are amortized to their residual values over those estimated useful lives in proportion to the economic benefit consumed.

Long-lived assets with estimable useful lives are depreciated to their residual values over those useful lives in proportion to the economic value consumed.  Long-lived assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable and exceeds its fair market value.  This circumstance exists if the carrying amount of the asset in question exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset.  The impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value as determined by discounted cash flow method or in the case of negative cash flow, an independent market appraisal of the asset.

Goodwill is tested annually, or sooner if indicators of impairment exist, for impairment at the reporting unit level by comparing thegrant-date fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying value.  A reporting unitaward (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is eitherrequired to provide service in exchange for the sameaward. This statement is effective as or one level below, an operating segment. The primary valuation method for determining the fair value of the reporting unit is a discounted cash flows analysis.  If the goodwill is indicated as being impaired (the fair valuebeginning of the first annual reporting unit is less than the carrying amount), the fair value of the reporting unit would then be allocated to its assetsperiod that begins after June 15, 2005 and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. This implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill would then be compared with the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill and, if it is less, the Company would then recognizewill adopt the standard in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, that this statement will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

b.   The Company has designed new processes and implemented new policies and procedures in connection with the conversion.

                     The Company imposed mitigating and redundant controls where changes to certain processes were underway and not completed.


There have been no other changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined by Rule 13a-15(f)) that occurred during the period covered by the report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
