PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
The Company designs, manufactures and sells a broad range of interior furnishings, principally draperies, curtains, valance boards, shades, blinds, bedspreads, comforters, pillows, cushions and cubicle curtains. These products are sold to original equipment manufacturers of recreational vehicles and manufactured housing and to the hospitality (motels/hotels) and healthcare markets either through distributors or directly to the customers.
The Company has one industry segment and one class of products. The business in which the Company is engaged is very competitive, and the Company competes with manufacturers located throughout the country. However, no reliable information is available to enable the Company to determine its relative position among its competitors. The principal methods of competition are price, design and service.
In 2009, CMH Manufacturing, Inc. (Clayton Homes, Southern Energy Homes and Cavalier Homes) accounted for 15.6% of the Company’s total sales. In 2008, Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. (“Fleetwood”) accounted for 12.9% of the Company's total sales. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s sales in either year. On March 10, 2009, Fleetwood filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The accounts receivable due from Fleetwood at the time of the filing was $108,837 and was fully reserved for in the 2008 year-end allowance for doubtful accounts. In the second quarter of 2008, the Company’s management had recognized its reduced level of business with Fleetwood and wrote off the remainder of its identifiable intangible asset arising from the January 2004 supply agreement with Fleetwood. Fleetwood and its successor companies provided less than 3% of the Company’s sales in 2009.
On June 1, 2007, the Company acquired Superior Drapery (“Superior”) of Hackensack, New Jersey. Superior is a supplier to the hospitality and healthcare markets, with much of its sales concentrated in the northeastern United States. In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recognized the total impairment of the goodwill and wrote off $546,783 associated with this acquisition. The Company will continue to operate the Superior business and hopes to realize an increase in revenue when the hospitality market returns to more normal operating levels.
On November 30, 2007, the Company acquired Doris Lee Draperies (“Doris Lee”) of Huntsville, Alabama. Doris Lee was a supplier to the manufactured housing market. The Doris Lee acquisition has enhanced the Company’s position as a supplier to the manufactured housing market.
The Company's backlog of orders at any given time is not material in amount and is not significant in the business. No material portion of the Company's sales or income is derived from customers in foreign countries.
The chief raw materials used by the Company are largely fabrics made from both natural and man-made fibers. The raw materials are obtained primarily from converters and mills. The Company is not dependent upon one or a very few suppliers. Most of its suppliers are large firms with whom, in the opinion of management, the Company enjoys good relationships. The Company has never experienced any significant shortage in its supply of raw materials.
The Company has no significant patents, licenses, franchises, concessions, trademarks or copyrights. Expenditures for research and development during 2009 and 2008 were not significant.
Compliance with federal, state and local environmental protection provisions is not expected to have a material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position of the Company.
The Company employs approximately 200 sales, production, warehouse and administrative employees and also uses the services of independent sales representatives.

As of March 24, 2010, the Company had 235 shareholders of record of its Common Stock.
Total cash dividend payments were $0.06 per share in 2008. During 2008, the cash dividend was suspended, consequently no cash dividend payments were made in 2009. The Company does not expect to resume paying dividends until it maintains a consistent level of profitability. Also, the Company’s loan agreement with Crestmark Bank will prohibit the payment of dividends.
At January 2, 2010, the Company had outstanding options under two shareholder approved option plans. Under the 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“1995 Plan”), the Company has granted options to its key employees for up to 520,832 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for stock splits). Under the 2006 Incentive Stock Option Plan (“2006 Plan”), the Company can grant options to its key employees for up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company granted options for 115,000 shares under the 2006 Plan in 2007 and 105,000 shares in 2009.
The following is a summary of the options outstanding under the 1995 Plan and the 2006 Plan at January 2, 2010:
| | Number of shares optioned | | | Weighted average exercise price | | | Number of shares available for future options | |
1995 Plan | | | 128,950 | | | $ | 6.72 | | | | 0 | |

The Company also provides a stock grant in lieu of cash compensation to its non-employee directors as compensation for their services as directors. In 2009 and 2008, the Company awarded five non-employee directors a total of 150,000 and 22,354 shares, respectively. All non-employee directors receive their shares in a Directors Trust, for which the Chairman of the Company is the Trustee.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
The Company provides interior furnishings to original equipment manufacturers of manufactured housing and recreational vehicles and to the hospitality and healthcare markets. This interior furnishing market is highly competitive. The Company faces risk as the demand for its products is affected by the industry demand in the four markets that the Company serves. Any significant decline in the demand for manufactured housing, recreational vehicles, hospitality accommodations, or healthcare products can adversely affect the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
A large amount of the Company’s sales are to a relatively few customers. In 2009, the Company’s top 10 customers accounted for approximately 48% of net sales, as opposed to 46% in 2008. The loss of a large customer can have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations.
The Company faces the risk that its furnishings could be provided by companies with cheaper labor sources, such as from Asian sources. However, the lack of sufficient lead times from its customers, as well as the customized nature of many of the Company’s products, presents a substantial barrier to entry for overseas firms.
All of the markets served by the Company have suffered heavily from the country’s current economic recession. The lack of available credit, reduced business travel and consumer confidence has had a negative impact on the Company’s sales volume which declined by 53% from 2008 to 2009.
In 2009, the recreational vehicle market experienced a second consecutive year of sharp decreases in the number of units shipped. Total industry shipments decreased from 237,000 units in 2008 to 165,700 in 2009. Travel trailers and fifth wheels shipments decreased 27% in 2009 compared to 2008 and motor-home shipments decreased 53% for the same period. The Company’s sales to the RV industry declined by 72% from 2008 to 2009. The Company’s sales to the RV industry decreased because of the decline in the number of units shipped, the loss of two significant customers (Fleetwood and Monaco Coach both filed bankruptcy in March 2009) and lastly by the Company’s decision to discontinue the manufacture of sewn goods (draperies, bedspreads and valances) for the RV indu stry. These products were discontinued in May 2009.
The manufactured housing market has been declining since its peak of 372,800 shipments in 1998. Industry shipments in 2009 were 49,789, compared to 81,889 shipments in 2008, a decrease of 39%. The Company’s sales to the manufactured housing industry decreased by 41% in 2009 when compared to 2008.
The Company’s sales to the hospitality industry decreased 45% during 2009 when compared to the previous year. Hospitality sales are affected by demand for hospitality accommodations and the growth of the industry.
The following table represents net sales to each of the three different markets that the Company serves for each of the two fiscal years in the period ended January 2, 2010:
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
| | Net | | | % of | | | Net | | | % of | |

Total Net Sales | | $ | 18,600 | | | | 100% | | | $ | 39,617 | | | | 100% | |
| Critical Accounting Policies: |
The methods, estimates and judgments the Company uses in applying its accounting policies have a significant impact on the results it reports in the financial statements. Some of the accounting policies require it to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. The most critical accounting estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable and inventory.
The Company reviews its accounts receivable portfolio frequently, assessing any past due accounts for collectability. Physical inventories are conducted at each of the Company’s manufacturing facilities at least quarterly, and inventories are assessed for any slow moving or obsolete items, which constitutes the main judgment necessary in valuing the inventory. Reserves for both receivables and inventory are reviewed quarterly and adjusted as required.
Other assumptions the Company faces are the assessment of goodwill, and long-lived assets for impairment, the calculation of the provision for income taxes and valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company believes that its assumptions in relation to its critical accounting policies have been reasonably accurate, and does not foresee any future material changes in its estimates or assumptions.
| Liquidity and Financial Resources: |
1) | Working capital at January 2, 2010 was $(192,595) compared to $407,099 at January 3, 2009. |
2) | The current ratio was .96:1 at year-end 2009 compared to 1.07:1 at year-end 2008. |
3) | The liquid ratio was 0.56:1 at year-end 2009 compared to 0.45:1 at year-end 2008. |
4) | The funded debt ratio was 27.7% at January 2, 2010 compared to 19.8% a year earlier. |
The working capital, current ratio and liquid ratio were favorably impacted by the current income tax receivable asset recorded in the fourth quarter 2009. In November 2009, Congress changed the rules on the tax loss carrybacks which allowed the Company to partially utilize the net operating loss originating from its 2008 tax return and apply for a refund of $1,215,000. This refund should be received by May 2010.
Net accounts receivable decreased $1,049,587 (47%) at January 2, 2010, when compared to January 3, 2009. Accounts receivable decreased due to a reduction of sales volume in the fourth quarter of 2009 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2008. Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) increased from 29.8 days at the end of fiscal 2008 to 30.6 days at the end of fiscal 2009.
The allowance for doubtful accounts decreased from $446,421 at year-end 2008 to $269,080 at year-end 2009. In March 2009, Fleetwood and Monaco Coach filed bankruptcies. These balances, $199,413, were charged to the reserve in 2009. Management believes the current allowance is sufficient to cover its questionable customer account balances..
At December 31, 2009 the Company terminated its relationship with CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. The Company had engaged CIT since 2004 to facilitate credit checking, credit approval and collection of its hospitality receivables. These functions will now be performed by the Company.
Net inventories decreased by $1,676,430 (44%) in 2009 compared to year-end 2008. The decrease was due to reduced sales activity throughout the Company.
In the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recognized the total impairment of the goodwill it had recorded for the acquisition of Superior Drapery Company in 2007. Superior will continue to service the hospitality and health care markets but its recent level of contribution was not sufficient to justify the goodwill of $546,783 which the Company recorded in the transaction.
In May 2009, the Company completed the sale-leaseback of two facilities and used the proceeds of $1,438,000 to pay down the line of credit with Wachovia Bank.
Capital expenditures for 2009 were $109,144 compared to $212,316 in 2008. At this time, capital spending for 2010 is expected to be less than $350,000. The bulk of the spending will be for a software modification project.
In May 2006, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Wachovia Bank. The agreement with Wachovia provided for a revolving line of credit of up to $5,000,000 and expired on June 30, 2009. The 2007 loss caused the Company to violate the financial covenant in the loan agreement which provides that the ratio of Senior Funded Debt to EBITDA may not exceed 2.75 to 1.00. The Company believes it is in compliance with all other conditions of the loan agreement. Wachovia provided a waiver for this violation through the end of the third quarter of 2008. This agreement was extended to September 30, 2009 and then modified on that date. This modification extends the maturity date of the Loan Agreement to December 31, 2010, changes the interest rate to Prime Rate plus two percent, and limits the outstanding balance to the lesser of $4 million or seventy-five percent of the appraised value of six of the Company’s properties, which were previously unencumbered. The appraisals have been completed and the line will be reduced to $3,322,000 on or before April 15, 2010. Should any of this real estate be sold, the net proceeds will pay down the line of credit and reduce the available line dollar for dollar. In addition, the Modification Agreement allows Decorator to establish an additional credit line with an asset-based lender using all of Decorator’s accounts receivable and inventory as collateral. By December 31, 2010, the Company plans to achieve one or more of the following:
1) | Sell the real estate pledged to Wachovia and reduce or pay-off the balance; |
2) | Complete additional Sale/Leaseback transactions on real-estate; |
3) | Find an alternative lender(s) to replace Wachovia as its real-estate lender; or |
4) | Negotiate with Wachovia to extend the term of its line of credit. |
At January 2, 2010, the balance owed Wachovia was $3,401,484 and $3,624,484 as of March 24, 2010.
The Company expects to complete a two-year lending agreement with Crestmark Bank in early April. The agreement will provide for a revolving line of credit of up to $2,000,000 and will be secured by the accounts receivable, inventory and other assets of the Company. Crestmark will advance up to 85% of the eligible accounts receivable. The interest rate will be prime plus 3% with a minimum rate of 6.75%. Other fees include a 1% commitment fee and a monthly maintenance charge of the greater of $2,500 or .4% of the prior month’s average loan balance. Under the agreement the Company must maintain a working capital ratio of not less than 1.20:1 and a tangible net worth of not less than $5,000,000 (for purposes of computing this ratio, the Company’s debt to Wachovia Bank will not be included).
The Company has received a purchase offer for its Douglas, GA property. The transaction should close before May 10, 2010 and provide proceeds of approximately $200,000. The sale will result in a small loss and the proceeds will be used to pay down the debt with Wachovia Bank.
The Company has received a Letter of Intent for a sale/leaseback transaction of its Haleyville, AL property. The transaction should close in April 2010 and provide proceeds of more than $400,000. The sale will result in a gain of approximately $325,000 and the proceeds will be used to pay down the debt with Wachovia Bank. The lease will have a ten-year term and the rent for the first year will be $55,900. The lease has an annual increase of two percent and the Company is responsible for all maintenance and the payment of property taxes.
Management believes that the borrowing availability from Crestmark and the tax refund of $1,215,000 will provide adequate working capital to fund operations during 2010.
In addition, three of the remaining facilities idled in 2008 are listed for sale. If the Company were to realize the recently appraised values for all of these properties, the proceeds would be approximately $3,480,000.
Results of Operations:
The Company recorded a charge of $1,015,278 during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 for the impairment of the Company’s identifiable intangible asset. This asset arose from the Company’s contract with Fleetwood Enterprises, signed in January 2004. The impairment charge was in addition to the regular quarterly amortization that the Company had been recognizing since the inception of the contract. Management’s analysis determined that the revenues and profit margins provided by the contract had fallen sharply and totally impaired the asset.
The Company closed five of its production facilities in 2008, one in 2009 and idled a seventh in 2010. A summary of the impairment and closing costs included in the results of operations for 2009 and 2008 are:

Net sales for fiscal 2009 were $18,600,358 compared to $39,617,182 in the prior year. The net sales decrease was 53%. Sales to the recreational vehicle market declined by 72% due to the 30% decline in the number of units shipped by its customers and to the Company’s decision to discontinue the manufacture of sewn goods for the RV industry. Sales to the manufactured housing industry decreased by 41%, due to fewer units being produced by its customers. Sales to the hospitality/healthcare market decreased by 45%, due to the slowdown in that market which limited both new construction and refurbishing of hospitality properties.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales decreased to 81.1% in 2009 compared to 83.6% in 2008. This decrease was due to the closing of six production facilities in 2008 and early 2009. Most of the closed facilities had a higher cost of goods sold percentage than the facilities which remain open. The decrease was also due to the Company’s discontinued production of sewn goods for the RV industry which had a higher cost of goods sold percentage. The customized nature of the Company’s products made to each of its customers’ unique specifications, does not enable a detailed discussion of the effects of changes in prices, costs, volumes, and product mix on the costs of goods sold percentage. Management does monitor overall material cost, labor cost, and factory overheads for each of its manufacturing locat ions. Management reviews significant variations or changing trends with general managers. When necessary, appropriate actions are taken to address issues.
Selling and administrative expenses were $7,633,421 in 2009 compared to $10,989,419 in 2008. This was a decrease in expense of $3,355,998 but an increase as a percentage of sales from 27.7% in 2008 to 41.0% in 2009. The decreased expense was due to reduced headcount, salary reduction for executive and management personnel, reduced bad debts, reduced commissions, the elimination or reduction of benefits and a reduction in impairment and closing costs.
Interest expense increased by $9,192 and other income decreased by $35,306 in 2009 from 2008.
Net loss was $3,037,560 in 2009 compared to $2,585,457 in 2008. The increased loss was due to the reduction in sales from $39.6 million in 2008 to $18.6 million in 2009. The decline in sales more than offset the reduced expenses resulting from plant closings and extreme cost saving efforts achieved by all the Company’s employees.
EBITDA represents income before income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization and is an approximation of cash flow from operations before tax. The Company uses EBITDA as an internal measure of performance and believes it is a useful and commonly used measure of financial performance in addition to income before taxes and other profitability measures under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).
EBITDA is not a measure of performance under GAAP. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income and income before taxes as an indicator of the Company’s operations in accordance with GAAP. Nor is EBITDA an alternative to cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP. The Company’s definition of EBITDA can differ from that of other companies.
The following table reconciles Net Income, the most comparable measure under GAAP, to EBITDA for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 2, 2010:

The Company’s management has evaluated, with the participation of its principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of January 2, 2010, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b).

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect transactions; providing reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of financial statements; providing reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of Company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and pro viding reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of Company assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of the financial statements would be prevented or detected.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of January 2, 2010. The evaluation disclosed no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the period ended January 2, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of
Decorator Industries, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Decorator Industries, Inc. (a Pennsylvania corporation) as of January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009 and the related statements of earnings, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 2, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence su pporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Decorator Industries, Inc. as of January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 2, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Operations
The Company designs, manufactures and sells a broad range of interior furnishings, principally draperies, curtains, shades, blinds, bedspreads, valance boards, comforters, pillows, cushions, and cubicle curtains. These products are sold to original equipment manufacturers of recreational vehicles and manufactured housing and to the hospitality (motels/hotels) and health-care markets either through distributors or directly to the customers.
The Company has one industry segment and one class of products. The business in which the Company is engaged is very competitive, and the Company competes with manufacturers located throughout the country. However, no reliable information is available to enable the Company to determine its relative position among its competitors. The principal methods of competition are price, design and service.
Fiscal Year
The Company’s fiscal year is a 52-53 week period ending the Saturday nearest to December 31, which results in approximately every sixth year containing 53 weeks. Fiscal year 2009 was a 52-week period ended January 2, 2010, Fiscal year 2008 was a 53-week period ended January 3, 2009, and Fiscal year 2007 was a 52-week period ended December 29, 2007.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when the sale is made, which is upon shipment of the goods to the Company’s customers.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change. Accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $269,080 and $446,421 at January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
Property and Depreciation
Buildings and equipment are stated at cost, and depreciated on straight-line methods over estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the assets’ estimated useful lives or remaining terms of leases, if shorter. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to income as incurred. Additions, improvements and major replacements are capitalized. The cost and accumulated depreciation related to assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is credited or charged to income.
For financial reporting purposes, equipment is depreciated over 3-10 years, buildings over 20-40 years and leasehold improvements over 5-10 years.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The excess of investment costs over the fair value of net assets related to the acquisitions of Haleyville Manufacturing (1973), Liberia Manufacturing (1985) and Specialty Windows (1997) was being amortized over a period of 40 years. No goodwill has been amortized since 2001 pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 350 “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other” formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142).
Starting in 2002, the Company was required to evaluate the remaining goodwill for possible impairment. The Company had $3,305,008 of goodwill at January 2, 2010. Goodwill was increased in 2009 by $29,458 from the Superior Drapery acquisition and $23,032 from the Doris Lee Draperies acquisition. The Company tests its goodwill annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate possible impairment. Management evaluated the goodwill as of January 2, 2010 and determined that the goodwill it had recorded for the Superior Drapery acquisition in June 2007 had become totally impaired. Superior’s goodwill of $546,783 was written off in the fourth quarter of 2009. The Company will continue to operate the Superior business which should realize an increase in revenue when the hospitality market returns to more normal operating levels.
The Company wrote off its identifiable intangible asset of $1,339,278 in the first half of fiscal 2008. This asset was created by the January 2004 purchase of its Douglas, Georgia facility from Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc. and the related supply agreement. The Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $1,015,278 in 2008 in addition to its regular amortization of $162,000 per quarter for the first two quarters of fiscal 2008.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets held and used, excluding intangible assets (see “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”), for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. In accordance with ASC Topic 360 “Property, Plant, and Equipment” (formerly SFAS No. 144), the Company assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by determining whether the depreciation or amortization of an asset over its remaining life can be recovered based upon management’s best estimate of the undiscounted future operating cash flows (excluding interest charges) attributed to the long-lived asset and related liabilities. If the sum of such undiscounted cash flows is less than the carrying value of the asset, the re is an indication of impairment. The amount of impairment, if any, represents the excess of the carrying value of the asset over fair value. Fair value is determined by quoted market price, if available, or an estimate of projected future operating cash flows, discounted using a rate that reflects the related operating segment’s average cost of funds. Long-lived assets, including intangible assets, to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.
All cash balances at January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009 were in general deposit and/or checking accounts.
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740 “Income Taxes” (formerly SFAS No. 109), which requires an asset and liability approach for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes are provided for differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the financial reporting amounts at the end of the period, and for net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. Changes in enacted tax rates or laws result in adjustments to recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities in the periods in which the tax laws are enacted or tax rates are changed.
In addition, ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions and requires that a company recognize in its financial statements the impact of a tax position, only if it is more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. As a result of the implementation, at the beginning of fiscal 2007, the Company recognized no material adjustments to the liability for unrecognized income tax benefits.
The Company’s policy regarding the classification of interest and penalties recognized in accordance with ASC 740 is to classify them as income tax expense in its financial statements, if applicable.
Freight Costs
Freight costs associated with acquiring inventories are charged to cost of goods sold when incurred. Freight costs for delivering products to customers are included in revenues from sales at the time the goods are shipped.
Advertising Expenses
The Company incurs “advertising expenses” in the form of participation in industry trade shows and in the case of the hospitality industry in the preparation and printing of sample books. Advertising expenses were $243,886 in fiscal 2009, $280,053 in fiscal 2008 and $226,342 in fiscal 2007. These expenses were incurred to enhance the Company’s visibility as a resource to the hospitality industry. Advertising expenses are expensed as incurred.
Credit Risk
The Company sells to four distinct markets, original equipment manufacturers (“OEM’s”) of manufactured housing, OEM’s of recreational vehicles, and to the hospitality and health-care markets. To the extent that economic conditions might severely impact these markets, the Company could suffer an abnormal credit loss.
The Company sells primarily on thirty day terms. The Company’s customers are spread over a wide geographic area. As such the Company believes that it does not have an abnormal concentration of credit risk within any one geographic area.
At December 31, 2009 the Company terminated its relationship with CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. The Company had engaged CIT since 2004 to facilitate credit checking, credit approval and collection of its hospitality receivables. These functions will now be performed by the Company.
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Marketable securities are carried at fair value. Gains and losses of $3,941 and $(10,980) are included in income for the fiscal years ended January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009, respectively. All other financial instruments are carried at amounts believed to approximate fair value.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by weighted-average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of stock options. No dilution was recorded for fiscal 2009 and 2008 because the effect of the stock options on net loss was antidilutive. See Note 10 "Earnings Per Share" for computation of EPS.
Stock Based Compensation
The Company follows the requirements of ASC Topic 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” (formerly SFAS No. 123(R)). The Company began recording the expense of stock options in its financial statements effective January 1, 2006. The Company assumes no tax benefit, as all of its stock options qualify as incentive stock options, and do not qualify for a tax deduction unless there is a disqualifying disposition.
For fiscal years 2005 and prior, the Company used the original provisions of SFAS No. 123 and followed the intrinsic value based method of accounting for its stock-based compensation. Accordingly, no compensation cost was recognized prior to December 31, 2005.
.
At January 2, 2010, the Company had options outstanding under two fixed stock option plans. The Company expensed $28,401 and $39,996 in 2009 and 2008, respectively, under existing option grants.
The option grants for each year were calculated using the following assumptions:
Year of Grant | | Valuation Method | | Dividend Yield | | Expected Volatility | | Risk-free Interest rate | | Expected Life |
1998 | | Black-Scholes | | 2.6% | | 47.7% | | 5.6% | | 5.0 years |
1999 | | Black-Scholes | | 2.5% | | 42.8% | | 5.8% | | 5.0 years |
2002 | | Black-Scholes | | 2.3% | | 41.2% | | 3.6% | | 10.0 years |
2004 | | Black-Scholes | | 1.5% | | 40.1% | | 2.8% | | 5.0 years |
2005 | | Black-Scholes | | 1.3% | | 41.0% | | 4.1% | | 5.0 years |
2007 | | Black-Scholes | | 2.9% | | 33.7% | | 3.6% | | 6.5 years |
2009 | | Black-Scholes | | 0.0% | | 92.8% | | 2.4% | | 6.0 years |
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Stock Based Compensation (continued)
Awards granted in 1998, 1999, 2002, and 2007 assumed compensation cost was recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award. Awards granted in 2004 and 2005 assumed compensation cost was recognized on a straight line basis over the requisite service period for each seperately vesting portion of the award. The 2004 and 2005 awards vested 20% at the end of each year for five years, and the recognition of compensation cost related to these awards considered them to be in-substance, multiple awards. Options granted in 2009 will be expensed by this method.
In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “Staff Accounting Bulletin 110” (SAB 110) issued in December 2007, the Company estimated the useful life of its 2009 option grant at 6.0 years. SAB 110 permits a simplified method for estimating the expected life of employee stock options when there is insufficient historical data to provide a reasonable estimate of expected option life.
Segment Information
The Company has one business segment, the interior furnishings business, and follows the requirements of ASC Topic 280 “Segment Reporting” (formerly SFAS No. 131).
Recent Accounting Developments
The following SFAS were issued by the FASB. These statements will have no material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140”, issued June 2009.
SFAS No. 167, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities - an amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)”, issued June 2009.
In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance under ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (formerly SFAS No. 168). This guidance establishes the FASB ASC as the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by non governmental entities. The ASC supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC, accounting literature not included in the ASC, has become non authoritative. Following SFAS 168, the FASB will no longer issue any standards in the form of Statements, Interpretations, Staff Positions, or Technical Bulletins. Instead, the FASB will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”), which will serve on to update the ASC, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the basis for conclusions on the change in the ASC. The Company adopted ASC 105 effective for the current fiscal year. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the financial statements, but will alter the references to accounting literature within the financial statements.
FASB has issued various ASUs in 2009. Based on management’s review, it was determined that the ASUs will have no material effect on the Company’s financial statements. As new ASUs are issued, management will evaluate their impact on the Company. Any future impact will be included in the notes to the Company’s financial statements.

(5) SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER
In 2009, CMH Manufacturing, Inc. (Clayton Homes, Southern Energy Homes and Cavalier Homes) accounted for 15.6% of the Company’s total sales. Sales to Fleetwood Enterprises accounted for 12.9% and 21.8% of Company sales in 2008 and 2007, respectively. On March 10, 2009, Fleetwood filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The accounts receivable due from Fleetwood at the time of the filing was $108,837 and was fully reserved for in the 2008 year-end allowance for doubtful accounts. In the second quarter of 2008, the Company’s management, recognizing its reduced level of business with Fleetwood, totally impaired the remainder of its identifiable intangible asset arising from the January 2004 supply agreement with Fleetwood.
(6) LONG TERM-DEBT AND CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS
Long-term debt consists of the following:
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
| | | | | | |
Bond payable in quarterly installments through March 2014. The interest rate is variable and is 0.85% at January 2, 2010. This bond is secured by the Company’s Goshen, IN property. | | $ | 615,000 | | | $ | 735,000 | |

(6) LONG TERM-DEBT AND CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS (continued)
In May 2006, the Company entered into a line-of-credit agreement with Wachovia Bank. The agreement with Wachovia provided for a revolving line of credit of up to $5,000,000, and expired on June 30, 2009. The 2007 loss caused the Company to violate the financial covenant in the loan agreement that the ratio of Senior Funded Debt to EBITDA may not exceed 2.75 to 1.00. The Company believes it is in compliance with all other conditions of the loan agreement. Wachovia provided a waiver for this violation through the end of the third quarter of 2008. This agreement was extended to September 30, 2009 and then modified on that date. The Modification Agreement extends the maturity date of the Loan Agreement to December 31, 2010, changes the interest rate to Prime Rate plus two percent and limits the outstandi ng balance to the lesser of $4 million or seventy-five percent of the appraised value of six of the Company’s properties, which were previously unencumbered. The appraisals have been completed and the line will be reduced to $3,322,000 on or before April 15, 2010. Should any of this real estate be sold, the net proceeds will pay down the line of credit and reduce the available line dollar for dollar. In addition, the Loan Modification allows Decorator to establish an additional credit line with an asset-based lender using all of Decorator’s accounts receivable and inventory as collateral. By December 31, 2010 the Company plans to achieve one or more of the following:
1) | Sell the real estate pledged to Wachovia and reduce or pay-off the balance. |
2) | Complete additional Sale/Leaseback on real-estate. |
3) | Find an alternative lender(s) to replace Wachovia as its real-estate lender. |
4) | Negotiate with Wachovia to extend the term of its line of credit. |
The balance owed Wachovia was $3,401,484 at January 2, 2010 and $3,624,484 at March 24, 2010.
The Company expects to complete a two-year lending agreement with Crestmark Bank in early April. The agreement will provide for a revolving line of credit of up to $2,000,000 and will be secured by the accounts receivable, inventory and other assets of the Company. Crestmark will advance up to 85% of the eligible accounts receivable. The interest rate will be prime plus 3% with a minimum rate of 6.75%. Other fees include a 1% commitment fee and a monthly maintenance charge of the greater of $2,500 or .4% of the prior month’s average loan balance. Under the Agreement the Company must maintain a working capital ratio of not less than 1.20:1 and a tangible net worth of not less than $5,000,000.
(7) | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS |
On September 1, 1998 the Company began a 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan available to all eligible employees. To be eligible for the plan, the employee must be at least 21 years of age and have completed 90 days of employment. Eligible employees may contribute up to 75% of their earnings with a maximum of $16,500 for 2009 ($22,000 for employees over 50 years of age) based on the Internal Revenue Service annual contribution limit. The Company matched 25% of the first 6% of the employee's contributions up to 1.5% of each employee's earnings. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company began matching employee contributions at 100% of the first 3% of the employee’s contributions, and 50% of the next 2% of the employee’s contributions, up to a maximum contribution of 4% of each employee’s earnings. Contributions ar e invested at the direction of the employee in one or more funds. Company contributions prior to January 1, 2008 began to vest after two years, with 100% vesting after five years. Company contributions after January 1, 2008 vest immediately. Company contributions to the plan were $53,499 in 2009, $195,900 in 2008, and $60,068 in 2007. As part of the Company’s 2009 cost reduction program, the Company’s matching contribution was suspended on April 30, 2009.
(8) STOCK OPTIONS
Under the 1995 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”) the Company granted options to its key employees for up to 520,832 (as adjusted for stock splits) shares of Common Stock. Under this plan, the exercise price of the option equals the fair market price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant and an option’s maximum term is 10 years. The Plan expired during fiscal 2005, and all options available under the 1995 Plan have been issued. Options granted under the 1995 Plan continue to be valid until their respective expiration dates. As of January 2, 2010, 128,950 options remain outstanding under the 1995 Plan.
Under the 2006 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2006 Plan”) the Company may issue up to 250,000 shares of Common Stock. Under the 2006 Plan, the exercise price of the option equals the fair market price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant and an option’s maximum term is 10 years. A total of 105,000 and 115,000 options were granted in 2009 and 2007, respectively, under the 2006 plan. As of January 2, 2010, 190,000 options remain outstanding under the 2006 Plan.
A summary of the status of the Company’s outstanding stock options as of January 2, 2010, January 3, 2009, and December 29, 2007, and changes during the fiscal years ending on those dates is presented below:

(9) INCOME TAXES
A summary of income taxes is as follows:
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | | | 2007 | |
Current: | | | | | | | | | |
Federal | | $ | (1,215,000 | ) | | $ | - | | | $ | (470,000 | ) |
State | | | - | | | | - | | | | (69,000 | ) |
Deferred | | | 1,000 | | | | (1,978,000 | ) | | | 55,000 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Total | | $ | (1,214,000 | ) | | $ | (1,978,000 | ) | | $ | (484,000 | ) |
For the 2009 tax year, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards, of approximately $4,952,000, for tax purposes. The carryforwards are available to offset taxable income of future periods and begin to expire after the Company’s 2028 tax year. Realization of the deferred tax benefit related to the carryforward is dependent upon the Company generating sufficient taxable income in the future, against which the loss can be offset, which is not guaranteed.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, as well as tax benefits of net operating loss carryforwards. The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to the following:
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Net Operating Loss Carryforward | | $ | 1,931,000 | | | $ | 1,754,000 | |
Depreciation | | | (524,000 | ) | | | (568,000 | ) |
Amortization | | | (627,000 | ) | | | (547,000 | ) |
Inventories, due to additonal cost | | | | | | | | |
recorded for income tax purposes | | | 6,000 | | | | 11,000 | |
Accounts receivable, due to allowance | | | | | | | | |
for doubtful accounts | | | 105,000 | | | | 174,000 | |
Directors' Trust | | | 272,000 | | | | 237,000 | |
Reserve for Plant Closings | | | | | | | 97,000 | |
Accrued liabilities, due to expenses not yet | | | | | | | | |
deductible for income tax purposes | | | 27,000 | | | | 33,000 | |
| | | | | | | | |
Net Deferred Asset | | $ | 1,190,000 | | | $ | 1,191,000 | |
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. Realization of the deferred income
tax asset is dependent on generating sufficient taxable income in future years. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more likely than not that all of the deferred income tax asset will be realized. Accordingly, no valuation allowance has been established. The amount of the deferred income tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.
(9) | INCOME TAXES (Continued) |
The net deferred income tax asset is presented in the balance sheets as follows:
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
Current Asset | | $ | 137,000 | | | $ | 315,000 | |
Long-term Asset | | | 1,053,000 | | | | 876,000 | |
The effective income tax rate varied from the statutory Federal tax rate as follows:
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | | | 2007 | |
Federal statutory rate | | | 34.0% | | | | 34.0% | | | | 34.0% | |
State income taxes, net of federal income tax benefit | | | - | | | | 4.8 | | | | 4.9 | |
Other | | | (5.4 | ) | | | 4.5 | | | | (1.4 | ) |
Effective income tax rate | | | 28.6% | | | | 43.3% | | | | 37.5% | |
The Company’s effective tax rate is lower than what would be expected if the federal statutory rate were applied to income (loss) before taxes, primarily because there are certain expenses deductible for financial reporting purposes that are not deductible for tax purposes and net operating loss carryforwards.
(10) EARNINGS PER SHARE
In accordance with ASC Topic 260 “Earnings per Share” (formerly SFAS No. 128), the following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations.
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | | | 2007 | |
Numerator: | | | | | | | | | |
Net Loss | | $ | (3,037,560 | ) | | $ | (2,585,457 | ) | | $ | (807,509 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Denominator | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Weighted-average number of | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Common Shares outstanding | | | 3,004,467 | | | | 2,934,530 | | | | 3,005,988 | |
Dilutive effect of stock | | | | | | | | | | | | |
options on net income | | | 2,005 | | | | 0 | | | | 0 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | 3,006,472 | | | | 2,934,530 | | | | 3,005,988 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Diluted Loss per share | | $ | (1.01 | ) | | $ | (0.88 | ) | | $ | (0.27 | ) |
No dilutive effects are shown for fiscal 2008 and 2007 since the effect of stock options on the net loss is antidilutive.
(11) PROPERTY HELD FOR SALE
During fiscal 2008, the Company adopted a plan to sell four of its manufacturing facilities. These properties were idled at various times during 2008. The current appraised values of the properties exceed their book values; consequently, the Company did not record any impairment in its Statement of Earnings for this activity. The carrying value of the properties are recorded in the January 2, 2010 and January 3, 2009 Balance Sheets as “Property Held for Sale” and are shown net of accumulated depreciation. Depreciation on each building was stopped as of the date each property was idled. The Company cannot anticipate when any of these sales might occur.
(12) BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
On January 23, 2004, the Company entered into an agreement, effective January 26, 2004, to purchase the land, building, machinery, equipment, inventory and other assets of Fleetwood Enterprises Inc.'s (“Fleetwood”) drapery operation in Douglas, Georgia for a purchase price of $4 million in cash, plus an additional amount for inventory of $1,067,472. Payment for the inventory was paid to Fleetwood on January 24, 2005 along with accrued interest at 4%.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company and Fleetwood entered into an agreement for the Company to be the exclusive supplier of Fleetwood’s drapery, bedspread, and other decor requirements for a period of six years
The acquired business was engaged in the manufacture of curtains, valances, bedspreads and other decor items. Fleetwood used the acquired business to supply most of its manufactured housing and some of its recreational vehicle requirements for these items. Sales to other customers were negligible.
The Company had assigned the excess costs of this acquisition over the value of the asset acquired to an identifiable intangible asset. On March 10, 2009, Fleetwood filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In the second quarter of 2008, the Company’s management, recognizing its reduced level of business with Fleetwood, totally impaired the remainder of its identifiable intangible asset arising from the January 2004 supply agreement with Fleetwood.
Fleetwood was the Company’s largest customer in 2008 and 2007, representing 12.9% and 21.8% of total sales, respectively. In 2009, Fleetwood and its successor companies provided less than 3% of the Company’s sales.
On June 1, 2007, the Company acquired certain assets of Superior Drapery (“Superior”). The assets included inventory, accounts receivable and office furniture and equipment. The total price paid at closings was $812,527 after adjustments. Additional payments for the business were made thru 2009 based on the sales and profitability of the business. Superior is a supplier to the hospitality market, with much of its sales concentrated in the northeastern United States. In the fourth quarter of 2009 the Company recognized the total impairment of the Goodwill ($546,783) associated with this acquisition . The Company will continue to operate the Superior business which should realize an increase in revenue when the hospitality market returns to more normal operating levels.
On November 30, 2007, the Company acquired certain assets of Doris Lee Draperies (“Doris Lee”). The assets included inventory, accounts receivable, machinery, and office furniture and equipment. The total price paid at closing was $809,083 after adjustments. Additional payments for the business may be made over the next five years depending on the sales of the business. The additional payments will be no more than $1,000,000. Additional payments of $23,032 and $134,549 were due for fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Doris Lee was a supplier of window treatments and bed coverings to the manufactured housing industry.
(13) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During the current fiscal year, the Company adopted ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events”. ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Specifically, it sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occu rred after the balance sheet date. The adoption of ASC 855 had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.
In accordance with ASC 855, the Company evaluated subsequent events through March 31, 2010, the date these financial statements were available to be issued. There were no material subsequent events that required recognition or additional disclosure in these financial statements.
