READY WELDER CORPORATION
Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 2010
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Ready Welder Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware on January 7, 1997. The Company manufactures and sells portable welder kits.
The unaudited condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2010 and for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2010 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial statements related to these periods are unaudited . The results for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 is not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent quarter of the entire year ending December 31, 2010. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2009 included in our Form 10-K filed April 7, 2010.
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2010, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $100,011 and current liabilities of $67,190. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company incurred net losses of $14,183 and $77,554, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company is seeking additional financing and is increasing its marketing efforts to generate profitable operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing these objectives. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the out come of this uncertainty.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the filing date of this Form 10-Q and has determined that there were no subsequent events to recognize or disclose in these financial statements.

(Unaudited)
NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES (BENEFIT) (CONTINUED)
Based on management’s present assessment, the Company has not yet determined it to be more likely than not that a deferred tax asset of up to $527,381 attributable to the future utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards and other timing differences as of March 31, 2010 will be realized. Accordingly, the Company has maintained its 100% allowance against the deferred tax asset in the financial statements at March 31, 2010. The Company will continue to review this valuation allowance and make adjustments as appropriate.
Current tax laws limit the amount of loss available to be offset against future taxable income when a substantial change in ownership occurs. Therefore, the amount available to offset future taxable income may be limited.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
In connection with the issuance of Securities and Exchange Commission FR-60, the following disclosure is provided to supplement the Company’s accounting policies in regard to significant areas of judgment. Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. These estimates also impact the reported amount of net earnings during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Because of the size of the financial statement elements to which they relate, some of our accounting policies a nd estimates have a more significant impact on our financial statements than others.
Revenue Recognition, Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Revenues from product sales derived from the sale of welders which we manufacture.
Revenue from product sales is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the price is fixed or determinable, (3) collectibility is reasonably assured, and (4) delivery has occurred. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement and fixed price criteria are satisfied through purchase orders. Collectibility criteria is satisfied through credit approvals. Delivery criteria is satisfied when the products are shipped to a customer and title and risk of loss pass to the customer in accordance with the terms of sale. The Company has no obligation to accept the return of products sold other than for replacement of damaged products. Other than quantity price discounts negotiated with customers prior to billing and delivery (which are reflected as a reduction in sales), the Company does not offer any sales incentives or other rebate arrangements to customers.
Our payment terms are normally net 30 days from invoicing. We evaluate our allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular basis through periodic reviews of the collectability of the receivables in light of historical experience, adverse situations that may affect our customers’ ability to repay, and prevailing economic conditions. This evaluation is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates that are susceptible to significant revision as more information becomes available. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require collateral because (1) we believe we have certain collection measures in-place to limit the potential for significant losses, and (2) because of the nature of customers comprising our customer base. Accounts receivable are determined to be past due based on how recently paym ents have been received and bad debts are charged in the form of an allowance account. Receivables are written off when we abandon our collection efforts. To date, we have not experienced any material losses. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided with respect to those amounts that we have determined to be doubtful of collection.
Long-Lived Assets
We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets periodically. If circumstances suggest that long-lived assets may be impaired, and a review indicates that the carrying value will not be recoverable, as determined based on the projected undiscounted future cash flow, the carrying value is reduced to its estimated fair value. The determination of cash flow is based upon assumptions and forecasts that may not occur. As of March 31, 2010, our balance sheet included $17,623of fixed assets, net and $23,098of patent costs, net.
Overview of Company
Ready Welder Corporation was incorporated pursuant to the laws of Delaware in 1997 to engage in the manufacture of portable welders. Our main product is the Ready Welder II but we have created additional models over the past five years. In 1998, we received a United States patent on the design of the Ready Welder II (“Ready Welder II”) welders and in 2002 we received a Canadian patent for the design of the Ready Welder II. We have been manufacturing welders since 1997. Our products have been approved for use by the European Union.
Our Welders
RWC has been manufacturing its Ready Welder II since 1997.
The Ready Welder II is a compact battery powered MIG (metal inert gas) welder. An MIG welder utilizes a welding process in which electrode wire and a non-oxygen-carrying (or inert) gas are fed through a welding gun. It was one of the first battery powered portable welders in the United States.
Features of the Ready Welder II
· | Portability – the Ready Welder, in its case, is light enough to be hand carried; |
· | Power – This MIG Welder can be powered by batteries, or by AC current when connected to a welding machine. |
· | Amperage Range – The Ready Welder welds very thin metals using a 12 and a 6 volt battery, (18 volts) or very thick metals with 36 volts DC, (three 12 volt batteries). |
· | Versatility – welds steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or any weld-able metal or alloy; in addition, it can be used as a spool gun or as a stand alone welder. A spool gun is a machine that unreels electrode wire. |
· | Economy – designed to have the following features: user friendly, quick setup time, economical to use, low purchase cost. |
· | Uniqueness – the patented design and patented circuitry make it a unique product which fills a previously unmet need, worldwide. |
Different Models
We currently manufacture five different models of the Ready Welder II. Each model has an identical spool gun, which is the device that holds the spool of welding wire within the welding gun, but the contents of the accessories and connection types may vary.
Model 10000
This welder must be connected to a battery to work. This model is most frequently used by repairmen, maintenance workers, 4x4 off-road enthusiasts, ranchers, boaters, agricultural industry and anyone primarily using batteries as the power source.
The Model 10000 is designed to make welding jobs in remote locations easy, portable and quick. This model will run off any 18, 24 and 36 volt battery combination.
Model 10000 ADP
It is the same as Model 10000 but with an additional AC to DC power converter. The Model 10000 ADP is designed to be operated in short intervals and to be highly portable. The Model 10000 ADP has been designed to be used for making “in field repairs” such as repair of farm or construction equipment. It is provided with a special high impact plastic carrying case to enhance portability. It is most frequently acquired by companies or individuals involved with maintenance, facilities/public works, construction companies, repairmen, maintenance workers, ranchers and the agricultural industry.
Our Model 10000ADP is the original Ready Welder II.
Model 10250
This model has a spool gun that attaches to welding machines which already have a built in wire or clamp. Like the Model 10000 ADP, the Model 10250 has an AC to DC power converter. These welders are used by casual welders. The primary intention is to use the Model 10250 as a spool gun attachment to the welding machines which produce direct current while being plugged into an AC socket. The Model 10250 will connect to all DC output welders as well as batteries. This model is primarily used by welders wanting a spool gun attachment to their engine drives, MIG machines and stick machines. A stick machine is a welder that, instead of electrode wire, has a hard rod or stick that carries direct electric current. The Model 10250 may be used by welders that have engine drives or those that weld aluminum in a shop connected to a MIG or Stick ma chine. The Model 10250 is about 1/3 of the cost of most other manufacturers' spool guns.
Model 100000 – CS
This welder is cabled best for battery operation. It features a cold switch, which means when the trigger is released, the spool gun goes cold. The purpose of this is to ensure that the welder does not function unless someone is pulling the trigger. The Model II 10000-CS has been designed at the suggestion of several US Naval officers who liked the Ready Welder, but because US Navy ships are all grounded, it could only be used on a Navy Vessel with a built-in cold switch. The “switch” is placed in the power cable and interrupts the flow of power to the welding gun by being turned off and on as needed.
The ground cable is attached to the red dual quick disconnect connectors which is intended to make welding jobs in remote locations easy, portable and quick. This model will run off any or all of the following: 18, 24 & 36 volt battery combinations, connected in series depending on the application and material to be welded.
The Model 10000 – CS is used by ocean going vehicles.
Model 10000 MDP – CS
The model is specifically designed for military use. It contains a NATO slave plug, which is a device that allows a simple connection to most military-type vehicles that are equipped with a NATO style power port. This plug allows the Model 10000 MDP – CS to be connected to the NATO style power port to avoid having to manually connect the Ready Welder power leads independently. This power producer plugs into a receptacle found in the dashboard of all maintenance vehicles used by the U.S. Army and in Military maintenance trucks used by most other NATO countries. This model can also be used for ships and aircraft carriers.
Markets
While in 2007 and 2008 the majority of our revenues were derived from sales to the military, we also sell our welders to the agriculture industry, railroads, hobbyists, fishing and marine industry, fabricators and off road enthusiasts. As a result of the cancellation of the contract our distributor had with the U.S. Military, our revenues decreased 77% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to 2008. We have recently hired a new marketing director who is seeking new customers and markets for our welders.
Military Use
Based on his experience as a soldier in World War II, Dr. Theodore Holstein, President and Chief Executive Officer of RWC, decided that in order to repair field damage of metal parts, the military needed a welder that was lightweight, and hand-portable with its own portable power. Ideally it would be a MIG type welder which was powerful and easy to operate, so that any mechanically inclined person could readily learn to operate it, and still do a good enough job so that a vehicle or even a tank could be repaired, and make it back to its base on its own power.
In 1993, our engineers set out to create this type of welder and completed research and development. In 1997 the Ready Welder II was created and came on the market for the first time.
Several years ago, we learned that to use the Ready Welder on a U.S. Navy vessel, it would have to be equipped with a switch that turns the power off when the trigger is released. We sought to create a welder that would fit that description, and after additional research and development, we created a new Model 10000-MDP-CS which fulfills this function. We began taking orders for shipment in May 2004. This switch is essential on ocean going vessels, which are usually electrically grounded. Some countries, for example, Canada, and some European Countries require these switches on certain types of welding equipment.
The Ready Welder II Model 10000-MDP is most frequently bought and used by military branches including the United States Coast Guard, as well as by military organizations worldwide. This model includes a NATO Slave Plug enabling the user to weld off of most military vehicles or maintenance trucks with their 24 volt battery system. This model comes in a durable, “Heavy Duty Storm Case” that is airtight and waterproof. The case also includes our AC to DC Power Converter, essential spare parts and other welding consumables, long extension cables, and other accessories. The Ready Welder has been tested, passed and approved by the United States Army and the United States Air Force.
In 2008 and 2009, sales to the United States Military accounted for 78% and 37% of our annual revenues, respectively. As a result, we were substantially dependent on these sales to the US Military, which arose, from one of our distributors. However, in the first quarter of 2009, the contract between the U.S. Military and the distributor was terminated. However, our sales increased 131% from the first three months of 2009 compared to the first three months of 2010. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, 2009 and 2010, Snap-On accounted for 76%, 20% and 48%, respectively, of sales.
COSTS AND EXPENSES
Costs and expenses incurred in our operations are generally as follows, but can vary depending on the circumstances and the nature and terms of specific agreements with customers:
| (1) | The manufacturing of the handheld welders; |
| (2) | The purchase of the components of the welders. We purchase these products from various vendors; |
| (3) | Labor costs relating to the manufacture of our welders; |
| (4) | General and Administrative, and Marketing expenses; |

Item 4T. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate. With the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2010.
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Given the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its cost. The design of any system of controls is also based in part on certain assumptions regarding the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditio ns.
