To the Shareholders of
Roanoke Companies Group, Inc. and Subsidiary:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Roanoke Companies Group, Inc. and Subsidiary (a Missouri Corporation) as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Roanoke Companies Group, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ROANOKE COMPANIES GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Roanoke Companies Group, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) has office and manufacturing facilities located in Aurora, Illinois, Kansas City, Missouri and Dalton, Georgia. The Company manufactures caulking, sealants, setting material, adhesives and tools for the ceramic and flooring trade. The Company sells its products through distributors, professional outlets, retail outlets and OEM’s throughout the United States.
Principles of consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include the accounts and activity of Chicago Adhesive Products Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Roanoke Companies Group, Inc. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Cash and cash equivalents – For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Receivables – The Company grants trade credit to its customers located throughout the United States. Receivables are valued at management’s estimate of the amount that will ultimately be collected.
Bad debts are charged to operations in the year in which the amount is determined uncollectible. If the allowance method of accounting for uncollectible accounts were used, it would not have a material effect on the financial statements.
Inventory – Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is based on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. A job-cost system applies direct material, packaging and other expenses to inventory.
Inventory at December 31, 2005 and 2004 consists of the following:
| | | | | | |
| | 2005 | | 2004 |
Raw materials | | $ | 2,697,025 | | $ | 3,103,783 |
Work-in-process | | | — | | | — |
Finished goods | | | 2,093,445 | | | 1,967,368 |
| | | | | | |
| | $ | 4,790,470 | | $ | 5,071,151 |
| | | | | | |
Property and equipment – Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, ranging from 3 to 39 years.
Intangible assets – Amortization of trademarks and customer lists is being made using the straight-line method over 5 to 15 years.
Credit risk – Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash. The Company places its cash and deposits with high credit quality financial institutions; however, deposits exceed the federally insured limits.
Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles required the use of management’s estimates and assumptions that may affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income taxes - Roanoke Companies Group, Inc. and Subsidiary have elected to be taxed under the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue code. Under those provisions, the Company will not pay corporate income taxes on its taxable income, except for some state taxes. Instead, the shareholders will be liable for individual income taxes on the Company’s taxable income.
(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)
As part of the Subsidiary’s Subchapter S election, a deferred tax has been established for the built-in gains associated with this election.
Advertising – Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Total expense for 2005 and 2004 was $171,573 and $201,656, respectively.
Goodwill – On December 12, 2002, the Company purchased 100% of the stock of Chicago Adhesive Products Company (CHAPCO). This potential for ownership of Chicago Adhesives Products Company justified a purchase price that resulted in the creation of goodwill.
The Company has adopted accounting pronouncement SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. An evaluation of estimated future undiscounted net cash flows, related to the goodwill of CHAPCO, indicates that it is fully recoverable and that no impairment of its carrying value exists. However in 2004 goodwill on the AMCO Tool purchase was impaired by approximately $320,000.
Prior year balances – Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
(2) LINE OF CREDIT:
The Company has a $16,000,000 bank line of credit, with $1,500,000 and $950,000 outstanding at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The borrowing base is limited to 85% of eligible accounts receivable and 50% of eligible inventory (up to a maximum amount of $2,000,000). This line of credit expires in May, 2007, bears interest at the prime rate less .50%, and is secured by the assets of the Company.
The Company must meet certain financial covenants at December 31, 2005 to include:
| • | | minimum tangle net worth of $12,000,000 |
| • | | funded debt to EBITDA ratio not to exceed 1.50 to 1 |

(8) PENSION/401(k) PLAN:

The Company has product liability litigation, arising during the normal course of business. In management’s opinion, the outcome of any such litigation will not materially affect the Company’s financial condition. The Company’s insurance carrier is currently defending all claims.

Nevertheless, due to uncertainties in the settlement process, it is at least remotely possible that management’s view of the outcome could change materially in the future.

The Company has granted a stock option to a key employee for up to 10% of the common stock issued and outstanding. Under the plan, the exercise price of each option equals $1.00 per share and expires upon termination of employment. The options were granted in 1997 and were fully vested after two years.
