Crosstex International, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
Note 1. Nature of Business
Crosstex International, Inc. (the “Company”) is engaged in the business of manufacturing and wholesale distribution of dental office supplies to customers located primarily in the United States of America, on credit terms which are established for individual customers. The Company’s corporate headquarters and primary manufacturing facility is located in Hauppauge, New York. The Company also operates in Sharon, Pennsylvania; Atlanta, Georgia; Los Angeles, California; Osaka, Japan and the Netherlands.
The Company celebrated its 50th Anniversary in December 2003.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements: The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and cash equivalents: For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash. The Company also maintains cash in bank deposit accounts which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant risk of loss on cash and cash equivalents.
Foreign currency translation: The functional currency of branch operations in Osaka, which is based in Japan, is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, the monetary assets and liabilities of the branch location have been re-measured using the current rate of exchange, and non-monetary assets have been re-measured using the appropriate historical rates of exchange. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the financial statements of the branch operations are included in results of operations and are not significant.
Trade receivables: Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established through a provision for bad debts charged to expenses. Trade receivables are charged against the allowance for bad debts when management believes that the collectibility of the principal is unlikely. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. No interest is charged on customer accounts. The allowance is an amount that management believes will be adequate to absorb estimated losses on existing accounts receivable, based on an evaluation of the collectibility of the accounts receivable and prior bad debt experience. This evaluation also takes into consideration such factors as changes in the nature and volume of the accounts receivable, overall accounts receivable quality, review of specific problem accounts receivable and current economic conditions that may affect the customer’s ability to pay. While management uses the best information available to make the evaluation, future adjustments may be necessary if there are significant changes in economic conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $50,000, $135,000 and $50,000 at April 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in first-out method) or market. The Company periodically reviews its inventory to determine whether any inventory has become obsolete or has declined in value, and charges operations for known and estimated inventory obsolescence.
Property, Plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment are reported at cost. Depreciation is calculated using accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, typically three to ten years. Leasehold improvements are reported at cost and are amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or life of the improvements. Amortization of leasehold improvements is included with depreciation expense.
8
Intangible assets: Intangible assets are carried at cost, and the intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated remaining useful lives with the exception of customer lists, which are amortized on an accelerated basis over the estimated remaining life.
Impairment of long-lived assets: The Company evaluates long-lived assets, which include leasehold improvements and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. If the estimated future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) from the use of an asset are less than the carrying value, a write-down would be recorded to reduce the related asset to its estimated fair value in the period in which the determination is made. Management has determined that no impairment of long-lived assets existed as of April 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003.
Deferred financing costs: The Company capitalized financing costs and fees incurred related to the procurement of the mortgage notes payable. The Company is amortizing such costs as additional interest expense over the lives of the respective loans, which approximates the effective interest method.
Goodwill: The impairment analysis for goodwill includes a comparison of the Company’s carrying value of each reporting unit (including goodwill) to the Company’s estimated fair value. The Company has determined that it has one reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value, then no impairment of goodwill exists. If the fair value of the reporting unit does not exceed its carrying value, then an additional analysis is performed to allocate the fair value of all assets and liabilities of the reporting unit as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination and the fair value was the purchase price. If the excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities is less than the carrying value of recorded goodwill, an impairment charge is recorded for the difference.
In assessing the fair value of the reporting units, management must make assumptions about estimated future operating results and related cash flows and consider other factors, including comparable company information. Assumptions about future sales and cash flows require significant judgment involving economic conditions, the fluctuation of actual revenue and the timing of expenses. Management develops future sales estimates based on available customer information, planned timing of new products, planned timing and costs of promotional events and historical trends. Estimates of future cash flows assume that expenses will grow at historical rates. If the expected cash flows are not realized, impairment losses, which could be material, may be recorded in the future.
The Company has chosen April 30 as its annual measurement date. Management has determined that no impairment existed as of April 30, 2005 and 2004. As a result, there were no impairment charges recorded for the years then ended.
Income taxes: Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax basis. 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 all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company is a C corporation and, as such, is taxed as a corporation.
9
Revenue recognition: Sales are recognized as revenue primarily upon the passage of title, ownership and risk of loss to the customer. The Company also offers certain customers volume rebate allowances based on meeting certain sales targets. As a result, a provision for estimated sales volume rebates is recorded in the period in which the related sales are recognized based on contractual terms and historical sales volumes for those customers, which is an amount that management believes will be adequate to provide for future volume rebates. Sales rebates are charged against the allowance for sales rebates when the actual sales rebate is paid. The provision for estimated sales rebates is material to these financial statements and could differ from actual sales rebates. The allowance for sales rebates was approximately $485,000, $307,000, and 250,000 at April 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Advertising costs: All advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total advertising expense was approximately $385,000, $410,000 and $333,000 for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Shipping and handling costs: The Company includes shipping and handling fees billed to customers in net sales. Shipping and handling costs associated with freight are included in cost of goods sold and totaled approximately $1,296,000, $1,163,000 and $984,000 for 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
New accounting pronouncement: Effective November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 151, Inventory Costs. SFAS No. 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing”, to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). This statement requires that those items be recognized as current period charges regardless of whether they meet the criterion of “so abnormal”. The provisions of this statement are effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 and the Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a significant impact on their operations.
Note 3. Concentrations
Customers: Four customers accounted for approximately 53.5% of sales for the year ended April 30, 2005. Three customers accounted for approximately 41.5% and 41.4% of sales for each of the years ended April 30, 2004 and 2003. At April 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003, accounts receivable from these customers accounted for approximately 28.1%, 23.3% and 20.1%, respectively, of the total accounts receivable.
Note 4. Business Acquisitions
On November 29, 2004, the Company acquired substantially all of the net assets of a business (a manufacturer and distributor of dental office supplies) located in Sharon, Pennsylvania. The results of these operations have been included in the financial statements since that date.
10
The aggregate purchase price, including expenses directly related to the transaction, was approximately $2,450,000. The consideration for this transaction was financed through senior debt in the form of a seven-year term note (Note 8). The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.
