VALENTEC SYSTEMS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2007
(Unaudited)
| | |
NOTE 1 | | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ORGANIZATION |
(A) Organization
Valentec Systems, Inc. is a Delaware corporation incorporated on September 8, 1983. Prior to April 10, 2006, the name of the corporation was Acorn Holding Corp.
Valentec Operating Corp., the wholly owned subsidiary of Valentec Systems, Inc., is an ammunition and systems integration company that provides ammunition to the United States Army and systems integration for foreign governments. Valentec Operating Corp. was incorporated on May 1, 1998 in the state of Delaware. Prior to April 10, 2006, Valentec Operating Corp. had the corporate name “Valentec Systems, Inc.”
Valentec Systems, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Valentec Operating Corp are hereafter collectively referred to as (the “Company”).
B) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position and results of operations.
It is management’s opinion, however that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statements presentation. The results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year.
B) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates for 2007 and 2006 include amortization of development costs, estimation of cost to complete long term contracts, valuation allowance on deferred tax asset and allocation of overhead costs.
(C) Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of financial statement presentation, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with initial maturities of ninety days or less to be cash equivalents.
8
(D) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Valentec Systems, Inc., and its subsidiary, Valentec Operating Corp. All significant inter company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
(E) Inventory
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Provision for potentially obsolete or slow moving inventory is made based on management’s analysis of inventory levels and future sales forecasts.
(F) Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at the original cost to the Company. Assets are being depreciated using the straight line balance method over predetermined lives of three to seven years.
(G) Contract Revenue
Revenue from fixed-price type contracts is recognized under the percentage-of-completion using the cost-to-cost method of accounting, with cost and estimated profits included in contract revenue as work is performed. If actual and estimated costs to complete a contract indicate a loss, a provision is made currently for the loss anticipated on the contract. Advance payments received are reported in the accompanying balance sheet as deferred revenue.
Revenue from time and materials type contracts is recognized as costs are incurred at amounts represented by the agreed-upon billing amounts.
Revenue recognized on contracts for which billings have not been presented to customers is included in the accounts receivable classification on the balance sheet
(H) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments including accounts receivable, accounts payable, notes payable, capital leases, lines of credit and deferred revenue approximate fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
(I) Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is computed based upon the weighted average common shares outstanding as defined by Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” As of March 31, 2007, the Company has 2,000,000 warrants and options outstanding that are not included in dilutive net earnings per share as the effect is anti-dilutive. As of March 31, 2006, the Company has 1,000,000 warrants and options outstanding that are not included in dilutive net earnings per share as the effect is anti-dilutive.
(J) Product Information
The company operates in three product lines, systems management and integration, energetic manufacturing and metal parts.
Three months ended March 31, 2007
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Systems | | | Energetic | | | Metal Parts | | | Total | |
Revenues | | $ | 769,904 | | | $ | 821,167 | | | $ | 10,178 | | | $ | 1,601,249 | |
Gross Profit | | | 232,446 | | | | 349,399 | | | | (593,790 | ) | | | (11,945 | ) |
Order Backlog | | | 12,745,874 | | | | 8,669,059 | | | | 885,000 | | | | 22,299,933 | |
9
(K) Long-Lived Assets
The Company accounts for long-lived assets under the Statements of Financial Accounting Standards Nos. 142 and 144 “Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” and “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 142 and 144”). In accordance with SFAS No. 142 and 144, long-lived assets, goodwill and certain identifiable intangible assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, goodwill and intangible assets, the recoverability test is performed using undiscounted net cash flows related to the long-lived assets.
(L) Reclassification
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
(M) Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“Statement 109”). Under Statement 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
(N) Stock Based Compensation Policy
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment”, which replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related interpretations. SFAS No. 123(R) requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions, including employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements by defining a fair value method of accounting for stock options and similar equity instruments. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period.
In adopting SFAS No. 123(R), the Company applied the modified prospective approach to transition. Under the modified prospective approach, the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) are to be applied to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the required effective date. Additionally, compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of the required effective date shall be recognized as the requisite service is rendered on or after the required effective date. The compensation costs for that portion of awards shall be based on the grant-date fair value of those awards as calculated for either recognition or pro-forma disclosures under SFAS No. 123.
In addition, the Company adheres to the guidance set forth within SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, which provides the views of the staff of the SEC regarding the interaction between SFAS No. 123(R) and certain SEC rules and regulations and provides interpretations with respect to the valuation of share-based payments for public companies.
(O) Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”, to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15,
10
2006, with earlier application allowed. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 addresses how the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative an qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for period ending after November 15, 2006. The impact of this Statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all
11
entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

NOTE 2 | | ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AND IN-PROCESS BILLINGS |
Accounts receivable consist of billed and unbilled accounts under contracts in progress with governmental units, principally with the Department of Defense and the Government of Israel. The components of accounts receivable at March 31, 2007 were:
| | | | |
Billed | | $ | 2,111,353 | |
Unbilled | | | 13,367,771 | |
| | | |
Total | | $ | 15,479,124 | |
| | | |
Unbilled accounts receivable relates to work that has been performed for which billings have not been presented to customers. It is anticipated that the unbilled amounts will be collected within the current fiscal year.
Accounts receivable from the U.S. Government at March 31, 2007 was $4,099,161 which is included in billed receivables of $1,085,192 and unbilled receivables of $3,056,117. Currently there is an ongoing Request for Equitable Adjustment (REA) dispute with the U.S. Army in the amount of $1,085,192, which is included in the Accounts Receivable from the U.S. Government, and unbilled receivables of $295,476.
Billed accounts receivable also includes $951,725 from a foreign government, the Department of Defense, Israel. Unbilled accounts receivable for foreign governments, Israel, is $10,296,897 at March 31, 2007.
The Company received advance payments from the Israeli Department of Defense and applied it to unbilled receivables as a percentage of unbilled accounts receivable to liquidate the advance payments upon completion of the contracts under the previsions of each contract.
The Company recorded a provision for doubtful accounts of $-0- and $-0- for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

NOTE 3 | | INSURANCE PROCEEDS RECEIVABLE ARISING FROM INVOLUNTARY LOSS CONVERSION DUE TO FIRE |
On August 14, 2006, Valentec Systems, Inc. sustained a fire in its 40mm manufacturing facility.

NOTE 11 | | PROFIT SHARING PLAN |
The Company has adopted a qualified 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan for all present and future eligible employees. The Company matches employee contributions, $0.50 cents for every dollar, up to 3% of salaries and may contribute a discretionary amount annually as determined by the Board of Directors. The contribution is limited to the maximum contribution allowed under the Internal Revenue Service regulations, which is presently 15% of their gross annual earnings limited to $7,000, as indexed for inflation. Employees vest 100% in all salary reduction contributions. The Company’s matching and discretionary contributions vest 100% after two years of service. The Company contributed $6,597 and $12,864 as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, as a match to employees and did not make any annual discretionary contributions for either period.
The Company’s principal stockholders also have interest in other companies whose operations are similar to those of the Company. The Company purchases and sells materials and services to these entities. Following is a summary of transactions and balances with affiliates for the periods ending March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006:
| | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2007 | | | March 31, 2006 | |
Sales to affiliates | | $ | 761,445 | | | $ | 3,773,426 | |

For the three month period ending March 31, 2006, accrued and paid consulting and management fees were $111,000 and $30,000, respectively
15
The Company accrued and paid consulting fees to TSC Consulting Services which is owned by a related party and a member of the Board of Directors. For the period ending March 31, 2007 and 2006, the consulting fees paid were $0 and $27,253, respectively.
The Company has provided products and services to the government under fixed price contracts. In these types of contracts, prices are not subject to any adjustment on the basis of costs incurred to perform the required work under the technical data package (TDP). The award of any negotiated contract in excess of $100,000 ($500,000 for Department of Defense, National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Coast Guard) with certain exemptions as provided by regulation, requires certification by the contractor that cost and pricing data used to negotiate the final price is current, accurate and complete. This certification entitles the government to a price adjustment, including profit or fee, of any significant amount by which the price was increased because of defective data. The Company is also restricted in the amount it can bill under each contract until it has passed its first article (inspection) test. That limit is 10% of the contract amount. The Company, in the normal course of business, periodically reviews its cost estimates on all contracts. In the opinion of management, the potential for any price adjustment on open contracts is remote and, if adjusted, would not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations for the period.
Backlog —The Company has authorized contracts on hand for which work is in progress at March 31, 2007 and 2006 approximately as follows:

NOTE 14 | | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES |
(A) Litigation
Prior to the expiration of the facilities management agreement with the Louisiana National Guard, certain employees involved in plant security duty were members of the International Guard Unit of America (I.G.U.A.) Local 81. With the expiration of the agreement and the resulting loss of employment, these employees filed a union membership grievance (December 28, 2004) with the Company, which has been turned over to the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration hearing was conducted on March 5, 2007 and on April 6, 2007 ruled in favor of Valentec Systems Inc.
Pursuant to a 1994 environmental class action settlement, Valentec Dayron Company (currently Valentec Operating Systems) along with Boise Cascade Company, Dictaphone Company, Harris Company, Martin Marietta Company, Medalist Industries, Inc and Rockwell International, Inc (herein Members) signed the Woodco Site Custody Account Agreement, dated October 5, 1994 as amended January 28, 2005 which established the “Woodco Site Custody Account” for the purposes of disbursing funds necessary to satisfy the obligations of the Members. Valentec’s total current obligation for the next three years is $3,474.
On August 14, 2006, Valentec Systems, Inc. sustained a fire in its 40mm manufacturing facility. As a result of the fire, the Company experienced a loss of a significant amount of Machinery and Equipment, Inventory and Leasehold Improvements. The Company believed it had property insurance in the amount of $1,284,850. However in December 2006 the Company was notified by its Insurance Broker that the additional $249,850 in coverage requested and believed to be in place as of August 10, 2006; four days before the fire, had not been placed. The Broker claims they did not receive clear instructions as to when the additional coverage was to be made effective. Therefore on February 25, 2007, Valentec Systems, Inc filed suit against its agent for damages suffered in the amount of $249,850 plus legal costs. The Company believes it has sufficient documentation to assert and sustain its claims against the defendants and is therefore confident in our ability prevail in the litigation.
There is no other litigation or outstanding claims by or against the Company.
16
(B) Employment Agreement
The Company entered into a two year employment agreement with Robert A. Zummo, CEO, effective as of January 1, 2006 with automatic one-year extensions. The Company agrees to pay Mr. Zummo a base salary of $520,000, and benefits such as an annual car allowance of approximately $7,734, reimbursement of telephone expenses, health, dental and life insurance as set forth in the employment agreement. . The Board of Directors resolved that upon consummation of the transaction with MAST Technology Inc., Mr. Zummo’s annual base salary shall be $320,000.
(C) Capital Lease
As of March 31, 2007, the Company has five capital leases. The leases are for manufacturing equipment in the amount of $301,457 and lease for computer equipment in the amount of $12,102. All leases are secured by the related assets and allow the company to purchase the assets at the end of the lease for $1. The effective interest rate on all leases range between 8.61% and 8.99%. with total monthly lease payments of $6,541.
(A) Revenue and Receivables
The Company’s operations are dependent on governmental funding of defense and ammunition projects. Significant changes in the level of government funding of these projects could have a favorable or unfavorable impact on the operating results of the Company. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had two customers which made up 49.6% and 47.9% of total sales in 2007 and 35.4% and 63.2% in 2006, US Army and the Israeli Department of Defense (through a related party entity located in Israel).
(B) Suppliers
The Company is dependent upon a number of major suppliers. If a major supplier were to cease doing business, the Company could be adversely affected to the extent the supplier could not be replaced. The Company is dependent on some sole source suppliers. As of March 31, 2007 and 2006, no one supplier represented more than 10% of purchases.
17
(C) Materials
If a critical supplier had operational problems or ceased making material available to the Company, operations could be adversely affected. In some cases, materials are supplied by sole source vendors, for which the Company does not have a replacement vendor.
(D) Foreign Operations
The Company sells to various foreign customers. The sales to one foreign customer for the three months ending March 31, 2007 and 2006 were 47.9% and 63.2%. Significant changes in the level of government funding of these projects could have a favorable or unfavorable impact on the operating results of the Company.
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $13,070,874, net loss of $2,213,605 and positive cash flow from operations of $2,018,957, for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The Company currently does not have enough cash to continue operations for twelve months. However, management has made significant cost reductions to improve cash flow and working capital. The Company is in the process of evaluating and developing further Overhead and General and Administrative cost reductions to be implemented in the second quarter of 2007. The plan is to return the Company to profitability and significantly reduce the overall outstanding lines of credit within the next twelve to eighteen months with cash from operations on previously executed contracts and thereby reducing their debt servicing burden. The Company is also considering a number of alternative financing arrangements that could provide a capital structure that would enable the Company to more efficiently manage its internal growth plans as well as providing funds for strategic acquisitions. Management believes that actions presently being taken will provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern and remain a viable Company.

OVERVIEW
Valentec Systems, Inc. is a proven supplier of conventional ammunition, pyrotechnic and related defense products, including systems management and integration programs. Valentec operates in three (3) segments:
| • | | Systems Management/Integration segment consists of 120mm Mortar Weapon System with Electronic Fire Control and mortar ammunition consisting of 120mm, 81mm and 60mm. The Company will pursue contracts from foreign governments for vehicle integration and mortar ammunition. |
|
| • | | Energetic Manufacturing segment consists of 40mm flares and simulators. Valentec is a producer of various flares and simulators with multiple end uses, such as illumination, signaling and training purposes to simulate a battlefield environment. The Company will pursue contracts from the US Army. |
|
| • | | Metal Parts Manufacturing segment consists of 105mm Spiral Wrapped Cartridge Cases which are used by the U.S. Armed forces in battlefield. The Company is currently marketing this product with foreign governments and is also actively fulfilling a contract with U S Army. The Company will pursue additional contracts with U S government. |
Energetic Manufacturing accounted for 51.2% of the gross revenue, the Systems Management/Systems Integration accounted for 47.9% and Metal Parts Manufacturing accounting for 1% as of the three months ending March 31, 2007. The backlog at March 31, 2007 was Energetic Manufacturing $8,669,059, (38.9%), Systems/Management Systems Integration $12,745,874, (57.2%) and Metal Parts Manufacturing $885,000, (3.9%) for a total of $22,299,933.
Valentec plans to make investments in bids and proposal activity that, if successful, will significantly increase backlog, future sales and future profits. We intend to bid on new U S Army systems ammunition requirements as well as new energetic and metal parts requirements. We also intend to make investments in automation equipment for energetic production that may improve efficiencies and future profits.
The Company continues to evaluate potential acquisitions that could bring value to Valentec in terms of increased revenue, profits, cost savings, management talent and diversification.
There were a number of events during Q1 that require discussion, as follows:
40MM Production Facility
On August 14, Valentec experienced a small detonation in an unattended (by personnel) granulation process at its Louisiana facility. This detonation occurred in a facility that had concrete walls and was self-contained, however, the resulting fire completely destroyed 75,000 square feet of space at this manufacturing facility, completely eliminating our existing 40mm flare capability. We were leasing this facility from the State of Louisiana by Valentec and had obtained the required insurance coverage. Currently, we are engaged in ongoing discussions with the State of Louisiana concerning the responsibility for rebuilding of this 65-year old facility and for debris removal because some of the original construction material contains small amounts of asbestos. Valentec contends that the insurance coverage as required by the lease was in place and that such insurance should cover any liability on the part of Valentec.
With regards to the asbestos issue, Valentec believes that the asbestos removal and abatement is the responsibility of the property owner, the State of Louisiana. The State of Louisiana, at this time, has not formally communicated any demand or claim regarding this issue.
As a result of the fire, the 40mm manufacturing facility was destroyed, and consequently, we lost the capability to meet our contract. Current contract revenue that was deferred was approximately $1,768,754. In an effort to avoid similar losses from work-related accidents, Valentec over the last seven months, has constructed a state of the art manufacturing facility utilizing portable and semi-portable metal buildings that segregate the various processes into smaller unconnected components. The rationale being that in the event of a future unplanned destructive incident, the facilities are isolated and a single incident would not disrupt or destroy the entire manufacturing complex. It also provides the ability to quickly resume operations because of the modular infrastructure configuration.
On April 10, 2007, Valentec successfully passed our FAT (First Article Test) and resumed full production of the facility and delivered of our first 20,000 units to our prime contractor in late May 2007.
System Contract
Our two major contracts, the Keshet program and the Ammunition procurement activity, have been able to move forward in our production and delivery requirements as we work through our sub-tier supplier production problems. Even
19
though there still exists supplier issues which Valentec program management personnel continue to work on a daily basis and progress has been made achieved and we fully expect to see these programs reach a successful conclusion in 2007.
SWCC
The Spiral Wrapped Cartridge Case (SWCC) project suffered multiple set-backs in the initial stages because of USG design flaws. Valentec was instrumental in resolving the design issues and in initiating production activities. We began manufacturing operations in late September and delivered the first lot on October 30, 2006. Valentec successfully delivered 2 lots totaling $1,065,652 or 35,528 units on November 10 and December 21, 2006. However, additional steel was required to complete the contract and was ordered and received in early March, 2007. A lot was produced for ballistic acceptance on March 28, 2007. The lot presented an anomaly, which the US Government has reviewed and resolved and acceptance of this lot is scheduled in June 2007. Due to these delays and Material setbacks, the Spiral Wrap Cartridge Case Contract is projected to lose $93,222, of which $82,442 has already been recognized and an additional loss of $10,780 was accrued. In February 2007, the Company received an add-on order for another 22,500 Spiral Wrap Cartridge cases for a total of approximately $885,000. The US government is currently evaluating additional add-on orders.
Additionally, we are experiencing significant international interest in the SWCC product because of the cost-effective price when compared to the traditional drawn cartridge case and its insensitive munitions characteristics.
Cost Reduction Plan
In early Q3 2006, the Company initiated a cost reduction plan, which was thoroughly evaluated, revised and re-evaluated and which identified approximately $2 Million in annual reductions and was actively supported by all levels of management. Valentec has fully implemented this cost reduction plan and senior management is overseeing its continual implementation. These aggressive cut-backs coupled with intense cash management have helped sustain our ability to continue operations through 2006 and into 2007. The Company continues to review, evaluate and implement additional cost reductions in attempts to improve our profitability and sustain the Company’s operations forward through the remainder of 2007 and 2008.
RESULTS OF OPERATION
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $1,601,249 compared to $5,972,891 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, a decrease of $4,371,642 or 73.2%. Total gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was ($11,945) as compared to total gross margin for the comparative three months ended March 31, 2006 of $1,951,420 (or 32.7% of total revenue), which represents a decrease of 100%. The decrease in revenues is due to program delays experienced by Valentec’s subcontractors on the AMMO and Keshet Contacts as well as delays caused by the 40MM fire. The decrease in gross margin was due to expenses incurred on the Spiral Wrap Cartridge Contract where (1) expenses incurred at the beginning of the contract to correct design issues and (2) materials cost overruns incurred due to pricing increases above contract estimates. The Company views the decrease in gross margin as a temporary effect due to the completion of the Spiral Wrap Contract and the increased materials costs associated with that contract. The Company has a strong backlog of $22,299,933, which does not include customer options to renew or expand current contracts, which we believe are likely to be exercised. This backlog excludes the Company’s projection for future Foreign Military Sales (FMS). The Company is positioned to improve its results from operations in the balance of 2007 and into 2008.
Cost of goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $1,613,194 compared to $4,021,471 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, a decrease of 59.9%. Total indirect cost (overhead and general and administrative) for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $1,559,008 as compared to $1,682,424 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, a decrease of 7.3%. The decrease of cost of goods is a direct result of reduced revenues and the Spiral Wrap Cartridge Case material purchases on previously executed contract. Indirect, Overhead and General and Administrative expenses decreased overall due to expense reductions achieved primarily in the Indirect and General and Administrative area. The Company continues to review, evaluate and implement cost reductions in all areas of the operations, which we believe will help us reduce these expenses for the remainder of 2007 and forward into 2008.
Other expense (interest expense less interest income and miscellaneous income) was $642,652 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $388,905 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The increase in the Company’s interest expense is a result of (1) an increase of Lines of Credit used to finance current production and (2) increase in the Prime Lending Rate index, which has increased from 7.00% to 8.25% since January 1, 2006.
The Company had a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of ($2,213,605) compared to a net loss of ($119,909) for the three months ended March 31, 2006. This was due primarily to three (3) factors; (1) an increase in interest
20
and financing expenses to support the foreign military programs, (2) an increase in development costs associated with the completion of contracts in which the Company incurred and expensed development costs in our effort to become a viable key supplier to the United States Department of Defense for certain ammunition; and, (3) delay in the recognition of revenues due to production delays experienced by several of the Company’s subcontractors and in restarting of its 40mm manufacturing facility that was destroyed by fire on August 14, 2006. The Company is developing a Cost Reduction Plan to further reduce overhead and general and administrative expenses in order to offset the losses incurred on these.
At March 31, 2007 the Company had total assets of $25,000,006. This is a decrease from total assets at March 31, 2006 of $25,612,236.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company had a positive cash flow from operations of $2,018,957 as compared to a negative cash flow from operations of $3,084,409 for the three months ended March 31, 2006. At March 31, 2007, the Company had outstanding borrowings (non-related party) of $12,435,851.
The Company’s sources and uses of funds were as follows: (1) it received net cash of $2,018,957 from its operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2007; (2) it used cash of $1,061,986 in investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2007; and (3) it repaid $1,046,565 for financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2007, consisting primarily of repayment on the line of credit. As of March 31, 2007, the Company had net working capital deficiency of $13,070,874.
The Company is actively seeking financing alternatives for working capital, product development, marketing, and business opportunities that would enable the Company to more efficiently manage its rapid growth. In this regard, on April 28, 2005, the Company entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (“SEDA”) with Cornell Capital Partners, L.P., (“Cornell”) whereby it can “put” to Cornell, for cash, up to $15 million in our common stock over a two-year period of time. Once accessed, this equity financing may increase the Company’s chances of succeeding in its growth plans. The Company may use the $15 million SEDA to support and fund expenditures for bids and proposals, capital equipment automation and acquisitions, as well as working capital growth. To make use of the SEDA, the Company must first increase its authorized capital and register additional shares for pubic sale. There can be no assurance that Valentec will be able to successfully increase its authorized capital and register additional shares for public sale. Moreover, in the event the Company is able to register additional shares, there can be no guarantee that Valentec will be able to successfully “put” shares under this Standby Equity Distribution Agreement, or at what level it will be able to “put” shares, since there are numerous conditions precedent for each “put” of shares to Cornell. Therefore, the Company continues to explore additional equity and debt financings, vendor-financing programs, letters of credit for manufacturing, leasing arrangements for its products, and equity participation for media purchases that will advertise its products. Also, the Company believes that marketing and consumer awareness is central to generating monthly revenues. The Company believes that its products may have greater appeal to foreign consumers due to quality, performance and price. When available, the Company expects to use the Cornell proceeds over a twenty-four (24) month period to support operations and expand its business.
The Company has entered into a Master Factoring Agreement with Rockland Credit Finance as an additional source of financing. A credit line of $10,000,000 was established to provide additional working capital for the rapid growth the Company has experienced. The Company has used the additional funding for facilitization as well as for the purchase of additional equipment needed to support the increased backlog. At March 31, 2007, $8,005,851 was outstanding under this line of credit. Under the terms of the Agreement, Rockland Credit Finance has the option to increase the credit line to $15,000,000 if the Company has the collateral of accounts receivable and unbilled accounts receivable to support the increase. The use of funds would assist with the financing of the Company through the term of the Company’s long term contracts until the Company collects through the milestone payment schedules for its long term contracts.
In addition, the Company has other lines of credit of $4,500,000 in the aggregate. At March 31, 2007, $4,430,000 was outstanding under these lines of credit.
The Company’s negative cash flow from operations and working capital deficiencies raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of further restructuring of the Company’s finances in order to improve cash flow through significant cost reductions and improved manufacturing performance to address this situation. Once all manufacturing facilities are fully operational, the significant cost reductions in overhead and general and administrative expenses are expected to continue to significantly improve the cash flow through year end December 31, 2007 and into 2008. The Company currently does not have enough cash to sustain operations for twelve months. However, management believes the cost reductions that have been implemented will significantly improve cash flow and will give the
21
Company the cash needed to continue operations. The Company plans to reduce its lines of credit substantially within the next twelve months with available operating cash generated from current backlog and thereby reducing its debt servicing burden.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments-an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140”, to simplify and make more consistent the accounting for certain financial instruments. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to permit fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument with an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, provided that the whole instrument is accounted for on a fair value basis. SFAS No. 155 amends SFAS No. 140, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, to allow a qualifying special-purpose entity to hold a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. SFAS No. 155 applies to all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006, with earlier application allowed. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”. This statement requires all separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities be initially measured at fair value, if practicable, and permits for subsequent measurement using either fair value measurement with changes in fair value reflected in earnings or the amortization and impairment requirements of Statement No. 140. The subsequent measurement of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities at fair value eliminates the necessity for entities that manage the risks inherent in servicing assets and servicing liabilities with derivatives to qualify for hedge accounting treatment and eliminates the characterization of declines in fair value as impairments or direct write-downs. SFAS No. 156 is effective for an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 109". FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a two-step method of first evaluating whether a tax position has met a more likely than not recognition threshold and second, measuring that tax position to determine the amount of benefit to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 provides guidance on the presentation of such positions within a classified statement of financial position as well as on derecognition, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The objective of SFAS 157 is to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and to expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and does not require any new fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for fair value measurements made in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R)”. This statement requires employers to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity or changes in unrestricted net assets of a not-for-profit organization. This statement also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end statement of financial position, with limited exceptions. The provisions of SFAS No. 158 are effective for employers with publicly traded equity securities as of the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2006. The adoption of this statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s future reported financial position or results of operations.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.” SAB No. 108 addresses how
22
the effects of prior year uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current year financial statements. SAB No. 108 requires companies to quantify misstatements using a balance sheet and income statement approach and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative an qualitative factors. SAB No. 108 is effective for period ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of this Statement did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No. 159 apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to SFAS No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”.The adoption of this statement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As part of our ongoing business, the Company does not participate in transactions that generate relationships which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. As of March 31, 2007, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company re-evaluates its estimates on an on-going basis. The Company’s estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The Company believes the following are its critical accounting policies which affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements:
| • | | Revenue recognition via the percentage of completion method |
Revenue Recognition via the Percentage of Completion Method.We believe our most critical accounting policies include revenue recognition and cost estimation on fixed price contracts for which we use the percentage of completion method of accounting.
Under the percentage of completion method, revenue is recognized on these contracts as work progresses during the period, based on the amount of actual cost incurred during the period compared to total estimated cost to be incurred for the total contract (cost-to-cost method). Management reviews these estimates as work progresses and the effect of any change in cost estimates is reflected in cost of sales in the period in which the change is identified. If the contract is projected to create a loss, the loss accrued for and is charged to operations beginning in the period it first becomes known.
Accounting for the profit on a contract requires (1) the total contract value, (2) the estimated total cost to complete, which is equal to the sum of the actual incurred costs to date on the contract and the estimated costs to complete the contract’s scope of work, and (3) the measurement of progress towards completion. The estimated profit or loss on a contact is equal to the difference between the contract value and the estimated total cost at completion. Adjustments to original estimates are often required as work progresses under a contract, as experience is gained and as more information is obtained, even though the scope of work required under the contract may not change, or if contract modifications occur. A number of internal and external factors affect our cost of sales estimates, including labor rates and efficiency variances, material usage variances, delivery schedules and testing requirements. While we believe that the systems and procedures used by the Company, coupled with the experience of the management team, provide a sound basis for our estimates, actual results will differ from management’s estimates. The complexity of the estimation process and issues related to the assumptions, risks and uncertainties inherent with the application of the percentage of completion method affect the amounts reported in our financial statements.

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:
The Company’s chief executive officer, who is also the Company’s chief financial officer, has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that review and evaluation, the chief executive officer has concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed are sufficiently effective to ensure that such officer is provided with information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner. However, due to recent changes in responsible financial reporting personnel and insufficient training, the implementation of said internal controls have been weakened to cause concerns as to their effectiveness. The Company’s chief executive officer has committed to ensuring sufficient training of responsible financial reporting personnel to correct said issue in the near term future.
(b) Changes In Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
In connection with the evaluation of the Company’s internal controls during the Company’s last fiscal year, the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer have determined that due to changes in financial reporting personnel and inadequate training, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting have weakened and is reasonably likely to materially effect the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. A plan has been enacted to ensure adequate training of financial reporting personnel to resolve any potential internal control weaknesses in the near term future.
(c) Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The Company’s management does not expect that its disclosure controls or its internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of 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, within the Company 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. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about 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 conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On December 28, 2004, former employees of the Company, who were members of the International Guard Union of America I.G.U.A. Local 81, filed a union membership grievance. The grievance alleges violation of the collective bargaining agreement in that Valentec did not provide severance pay upon the termination of the guards. In total, the grievance asks for approximately $30,000 in termination pay to be distributed among the affected guards. The dispute has been turned over to the American Arbitration Association. We believe that the claim is without merit and any ruling by the American Arbitration Association would have minimum impact on earnings. The arbitration hearing was conducted on March 5, 2007 and on April 6, 2007 ruled in favor of Valentec Systems Inc.
Pursuant to a 1994 environmental class action settlement, Valentec Dayron Corporation (currently Valentec Systems, Inc.) along with Boise Cascade Corporation, Dictaphone Corporation, Harris Corporation, Martin Marietta Corporation, Medalist Industries, Inc and Rockwell International, Inc (herein Members) signed the Woodco Site Custody Account Agreement, dated October 5, 1994 as amended January 28, 2005 which established the “Woodco Site Custody Account” for the purposes of disbursing funds necessary to satisfy the obligations of the Members. Valentec’s current obligation is $1,158 per year for ten years from the date of the Amendment above.
On August 14, 2006, Valentec Systems, Inc. sustained a fire in its 40mm manufacturing facility. As a result of the fire, the Company experienced a loss of a significant amount of Machinery and Equipment, Inventory and Leasehold Improvements. The Company believed it had property insurance in the amount of $1,284,850. However in December 2006 the Company was notified its Insurance Broker that the additional $249,850 in coverage requested and believed to be in place as of August 10, four days before the fire, had not been placed. The Broker claims they did not receive clear instructions as to when the additional coverage was to be made effective. Therefore on February 25, 2007, Valentec Systems, Inc filed suit against Moreman, Moore and Company, Inc and its agent Bryan Willis for damages suffered in the amount of $249,850 plus legal costs. The Company believes it has sufficient documentation to assert and sustain its claims against the defendants and is therefore confident in our ability prevail in the litigation.
There is no other litigation or outstanding claims by or against the Company other than disputes arising in the ordinary course of business
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
None.
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
None.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
