Part I
Item 1. Business.
Background.
Fountain Powerboat Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), through its wholly owned subsidiary, Fountain Powerboats, Inc. (the “Subsidiary”), designs, manufactures and sells internationally recognized, recreational offshore sport boats, sport fishing boats and sport cruisers that target a segment of the recreational powerboat market where speed, performance, quality and safety are the primary purchase criteria. The Company sells its boats and ancillary products through a worldwide network of 62 dealers.
Fountain Powerboats, based upon an innovative, award-winning design, are well branded within the boating industry. The Company markets the celebrity of its Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and founder, Reginald M. Fountain Jr., an internationally recognized designer, engineer and builder of high speed powerboats and holder of three world titles and seven national racing championships.
Products.
Fountain continuously incorporates new and improved designs in its boats. The Company believes that the best boats come from combining an intuitive management team with hardcore experience gained by boat racing in offshore conditions. Each boat is tested in the Pamlico River, located alongside the factory, before it’s shipped to its new owner. This testing is unique to Fountain Powerboats, as most boat manufacturers are not located on or near the water.
Fountain maintains that its boats, with their innovative design and unitized construction, are among the fastest, smoothest, safest and best-handling boats of their kind. The expansive product line of sport cruisers, sport fishing and sport boats is based upon a deep V-shaped fiberglass hull for speed and fuel efficiency that uses less horse power. For superb handling and performance, the boats are designed with a notched transom and pad keel running surface and engineered with an innovative step-bottom design.
The Company has more than twenty different models that fall into three categories — express cruisers, sport fishing boats and sport boats. Initially known for its sport boats, Fountain Powerboats has evolved into a company with a wide variety of boats for the most discriminating boater.
Fountain Powerboats has captured approximately 50 percent of the sport boat market and offers nine different sport boat models ranging from the 27’ Fever to the 47’ Lightning. These V-bottom boats carve turns at all speeds, even when being propelled at over 100 MPH by twin Mercury 525 engines.
Fountain Powerboats has become well known for its upscale, high performance and elegant Express Cruisers which redefine the term “performance cruiser”. The cruiser market is exploding as the populace ages and begins to look for not only speed but luxurious amenities for the entire family. Fountain Powerboats, with its 38’ and 48’ Express Cruisers, and the 52’ Sport Fish Cruiser that will be introduced to the market October/November 2006, is poised with the right products to capitalize on this growth market.
While the sport cruiser market is on the increase, a long established water sport is escalating - tournament fishing. With the advent of popular sport fishing television shows and two quality sport fishing competition programs, the American Striper Association Tournaments and the Southern Kingfish Association Tournaments, the Company has significantly expanded its line of sport fishing boats, building a competitive edge in this fast growing market.
Demand for Fountain sport fish boats is on the increase. These boats are designed for the fishing aficionado who demands speed and superb amenities for his family and friends. Entering the tournament fishing market in the late 1980’s, and now considered “the boat to beat”, the Company’s fish boat product line boasts ten different models ranging from the 23’ Center Console (“CC”) to the 38’ luxury Fish Cruiser.
Fountain participates in Poker Run events, which is an increasingly popular sporting event that involves large numbers of recreational boat owners. These events are sponsored by local organizations, generally including one of the Company’s dealers, and present a great opportunity to showcase its boats to an affluent audience.
During 2006, the Company introduced enhanced sport boat models and a new fish boat model at the Miami International Boat Show in February and delivered a redesigned 38’ express cruiser in the spring.
The cockpit layout and cockpit seating was redesigned for the 38’, 42’ and 47’ sport boat models, design changes were made to the cabins and striking new paint schemes were introduced , thus stimulating excitement in the new look of these models and boosted sales for the Company’s sport boat line. The redesigned 47’ Lightning captured the 2006 Offshore Boat of the Year award from Powerboat Magazine.
A new open bow 38’ center console fish boat was launched at the Miami Boat Show. This is an open version of the Company’s popular 38’ Tournament Edition and is a serious fishing machine with plenty of walk around space. With triple 275HP Mercury Verado engines this boat will cruise at 50 mph while getting 1.5 mpg and run at a top speed of 68+ mph.
The 38’ express cruiser underwent a major redesign of its running surface to significantly improve handling and performance and the cabin was completely redesigned to provide a more spacious and luxurious interior.
The chart below shows the number of boats completed and shipped during the last three fiscal years by product line.

As of June 30, 2006, and after completing the most revenue-producing quarter in the history of the Company, Fountain Powerboats has a backlog of firm orders for 200 boats, totaling sales of $43 million, all of which are expected to be completed during Fiscal 2007. At June 30, 2005, the sales backlog was 255 boats, totaling $52 million.
Staying ahead of its competition, Fountain’s employees conduct ongoing research and development pertaining to the design of its boats’ hulls and decks and its small parts production. The Company invested approximately $1.1 million on the design, research and development of new plugs and molds during fiscal 2006. Over the past three fiscal years, the investments into R&D were as follows:
| | | | | | | |
| | Fiscal 2006 | | Fiscal 2005 | | Fiscal 2004 | |
Design, Research & Development | | $ | 780,520 | | $ | 786,129 | | $ | 871,386 | |
Construction of New Plugs and Molds | | | 1,092,994 | | | 1,636,621 | | | 1,060,533 | |
For fiscal 2007, design, research and development planned expenses are estimated to be $856,255, and plug and mold construction expenditures are estimated to be $950,000. Primarily, these expenditures will go to upgrading the Company’s line of sport boats in an effort to maintain its market share and enhancing its line of sport fish cruisers to continue to expand its presence in that profitable and more stable market.
Manufacturing capacity was increased and processes were enhanced during the first and second quarters of fiscal 2005. The added manufacturing capacity can accommodate 40 to 45 boats in various stages of construction at any one time. Construction time is approximately three to eight weeks, dependent on the product mix.
To support the Company’s increased production in fiscal 2006, 29 additional personnel were hired, bringing the total number of employees to approximately 448. The Company currently has the capacity to manufacture approximately 450 sport and fish boats, and 70 cruisers per year of a comparable product mix as was manufactured in fiscal 2006.
The manufacturing process is labor intensive and requires seasoned craftsmen. The process for manufacturing the hull and decks of a Fountain Powerboat is done by hand. Vinylester resins and high quality stitched, bi-directional and quad-directional fiberglass is hand laid over a foam core in molds designed and constructed by the Company’s engineers and tooling department. This artisan method creates a composite structure with strong outer and inner skins and a thicker, lighter core in between, resulting in superior strength and a finer appearance, compared to mechanically blown, chopped fiberglass used by other manufacturers.
The resin used to bind the composite structure is vinylester, which is stronger, better bonding and more flexible than the polyester resins used by most fiberglass boat manufacturers. Decks are bonded to the hull using a combination of bonding agents, rivets, screws and fiberglass to achieve a strong unitized construction. This manufacturing process was developed and improved upon as a result of the Company’s many years of racing experience. When a Fountain Powerboat is traveling at 177 MPH through the water, this manufacturing process provides the speed and safety the Company’s boats are known for.
As one of the most highly integrated manufacturers in the marine industry, Fountain manufactures many metal, plexiglass, plastic, and small parts (such as fuel tanks, seat frames, instrument panels, bow rails, brackets, T-tops and windscreens) to assure that its rigid quality standards are met and, if a design change is needed to improve a boat, it can be made immediately.
The Company also manufactures all of its upholstery to its own custom specifications and benefits from receiving these parts just in time for assembly. All other component parts and materials used in the manufacture of the Company’s boats are readily available from a variety of suppliers at comparable prices exclusive of discounts. The Company purchases certain supplies and materials from a limited number of suppliers in order to obtain the benefit of volume discounts.
Recreational powerboats must be certified by the manufacturer to meet U.S. Coast Guard specifications. Their safety is subject to federal regulation under the Boat Safety Act of 1971, as amended, pursuant to which boat manufacturers may be required to recall products for replacement of parts or components that have demonstrated defects affecting safety. The Company has never had to conduct a product recall. Boats manufactured for sale in the European Community must meet CE Certification Standards.
Product Warranty.
The Company warrants its boat hull and deck structure against defects in material and workmanship for a period of six years. Other boat components are covered in accordance with the manufacturer’s warranty through the Company. The engine manufacturer warrants engines installed in the boats. Warranty expenses of $1,346,521, or 1.7 percent of sales, were incurred in fiscal 2006 and $1,473,026 of expense, or 2.1 percent of sales, were incurred in fiscal 2005. A $632,357 reserve for warranty expenses estimated to be incurred in future years had been established at June 30, 2006.
Sales and Marketing.
The Company sells its products through a worldwide network of 50 domestic dealers and 12 international dealers. While most of these dealers are not exclusive, the company uses discretion in locating new dealers in an effort to protect the interests of its existing dealer network. To attract and keep the highest producing dealers, Fountain Powerboats recently initiated a sales training program at its Fountain University.
The Fountain University program invites salespersons from around the world for three days of interactive product and sales workshops with a curriculum that includes: How to Apply Features and Benefits, Selling in Today’s Environment, How to Overcome Objections and Close the Sale, and How to Properly Deliver a Boat. The program also includes in-water, high performance boat training for all attendees, as well as product-specific classes conducted by Fountain Powerboat partners, such as Mercury Marine, Polycor Resins, G&T Vinyl, Interplastics Resins and Sign Zoo.
The following is a table of sales by geographic area for the last three fiscal years.
| | | | | | | |
| | Fiscal 2006 | | Fiscal 2005 | | Fiscal 2004 | |
United States | | $ | 70,934,584 | | $ | 65,790,034 | | $ | 57,035,932 | |

Fountain Powerboats targets a significant portion of revenue for its branding and advertising programs in the U.S. and internationally. The Company continues to expand its dealer network into Europe, South America and the Middle East, and has seen a ramp-up of sales in the Middle East. The Company’s International sales were $8,291,640 for fiscal 2006 and $5,446,034 for fiscal 2005. The Company requires payment in full or an irrevocable letter of credit from a domestic bank before it will ship a boat out of the U.S.
In fiscal 2006, one dealer accounted for 10.9 percent of sales, one accounted for 8.5 percent of sales and four each accounted for 5.8 to 6.3 percent of sales. In fiscal 2005, one dealer accounted for 10.5 percent of sales, one accounted for 6 percent of sales and three each accounted for 5.4 percent of sales. For fiscal 2004, one dealer accounted for 10.5 percent of sales, one for 10.2 percent of sales and two each accounted for 5 percent of sales.
While the loss of any particular dealer could have an adverse affect on sales, the Company believes it could find other dealers within the same geographical area to replace a lost dealer. Sales continue to grow through existing dealers and the Company continues to add new dealers with the goal of reducing the concentration risk in its distribution channel.
The Company has a strategically located team of sales representatives supporting existing dealer locations and developing new dealers in targeted locations. The sales team, headed up by the President, is responsible for developing a dealer organization for sport boats, sport fishing boats and express cruisers. The product line is extremely diverse and requires specialized sales training and service and support, so the Company’s strategy is to develop individual dealers for each of its product lines.
Fountain Powerboats does not manufacture to inventory, as 100 percent of its boats are pre-sold to a dealer before entering the production line. The Company can ship to dealers on a cash-on-delivery basis or through floor plan financing programs in which the Company participates on behalf of its dealers. For Fiscal years 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company has paid the interest on the floor plan, for a certain period of time, as a sales promotion program.
The dealer’s responsibility is to establish a line of credit with one or more third-party lenders for the purchase of its showroom inventory. When a dealer purchases a boat utilizing the floor plan arrangement, it draws against its line of credit and the lender pays the invoice for the boat directly to Fountain Powerboats, typically within five business days. When the boat is sold to the retail customer, the dealer repays the lender, restoring his credit line. The Company, along with most major boat manufacturers, will repurchase its boats from a lender who has repossessed them from a dealer, if the lender returns the boats to Fountain Powerboats in a new or like-new condition. The Company has no material obligation to repurchase boats from its dealers.
The marketing of boats to retail customers is the responsibility of the dealer, whose efforts are complemented by Fountain Powerboats’ advertising in boating magazines, participating in boat shows and its Sales Service Bureau responding to and tracking leads from advertisements, boat shows and internet inquiries. To assist in brand recognition, the Company has developed racing programs to participate in the major classes of offshore powerboat races in which many of Fountain’s single and twin engine racing boats continue to hold their respective world speed records. Fountain Powerboats founder and CEO Reggie Fountain, who has won numerous races in both factory and customer owned boats and has set numerous world speed records in both, in August 2004 set a V-bottom World Speed Record with a phenomenal 171.883 MPH on a Fountain 42’ Lightning.
To enhance brand recognition, Fountain Powerboats sponsors outstanding sport fishermen who own Fountain boats and fish in tournaments organized by the Southern Kingfish Association (SKA) and the American Striper Association (ASA). The Company’s fishing teams of the SKA and ASA are captained by world class anglers who can afford to purchase any boat, but choose to run a Fountain powerboat. The Company supports the ASA tournaments held throughout the Northeast in areas ranging from Virginia to Maine, and the SKA tournaments held throughout the South and Southwest, from North Carolina to Texas. The Fountain team’s winning records have given its sport fishing boats favorable exposure to serious sport fishermen looking for superior performance.
Competition.
Competition within the powerboat manufacturing industry is intense. The high performance sports, fish and cruiser boat markets, which comprises only a small segment of all boats manufactured, are significant markets in terms of total dollars spent. The manufacturers who compete with the Company in these market segments include:
Sport Boats
| · | Formula, a Division of Thunderbird Products Corporation |
| · | Baja Boats, a Division of Brunswick Corporation |
| · | Cigarette Racing Team, Inc. |
| · | Donzi, American Marine Holdings |
Fish Boats
| · | Donzi, American Marine Holdings |
| · | Boston Whaler, a Division of Brunswick Corporation |
Cruisers
| · | Formula, a Division of Thunderbird Products Corporation |
| · | Donzi, American Marine Holdings |
| · | SeaRay, a Division of Brunswick Corporation |
The Company believes that in its market segments buyers select boats based on speed, performance, quality, image and safety, with style and price being secondary considerations.
Market demographics and industry experts indicate the fish boat market offers the best growth potential within the boating industry. Fountain Powerboats continues to expand its family of fish boats to meet the rising demand in this significant high-growth market. The Company introduced a new model in 2006 and plans to introduce two new models in 2007.
The Company is also experiencing greater demand for its higher priced cruisers. This is due in part to a populace that not only wants speed but requires the additional space to bring along the family. The Company believes that a large number of current product owners, many of whom have purchased multiple and increasingly larger boats from the Company, provide a target market for the fast-growing cruiser segment.
Employees.
As of June 30, 2006, the Company had 448 employees, of which nine were executive and management personnel. Eighteen were engaged primarily in administrative positions, such as accounting, human resources, marketing and sales. None of the Company’s employees are party to a collective bargaining agreement. The Company considers its employee relations to be excellent. The Company is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
General economic conditions in the United States may adversely affect the Company’s results. The Company’s revenues may be affected by U. S. and international market conditions and consumer confidence. Any substantial deterioration in general economic conditions which diminishes consumer confidence in any of the regions where the Company competes could reduce the Company’s sales and adversely affect its business and financial results.
The Company’s profitability may suffer as a result of competitive product offerings and pricing pressures. The introduction of lower-priced competitive products by other companies can hurt the Company’s competitive position. Such competitive pricing may limit the Company’s ability to increase prices in response to raw material and other cost increases.
The Company’s financial results may be adversely affected if the Company is unable to maintain effective distribution. The Company’s products are sold through dealers and the financial health of these dealers is critical to the Company’s continued success. The Company’s results can be negatively affected if dealers experience higher operating costs that can result from rising interest rates, higher rents, labor costs and taxes, and compliance with regulations.
Inventory adjustments by the Company’s major dealers adversely affects the Company’s operating margins. If the Company’s dealers adjust their inventories downward in response to weakness in retail demand, wholesale demand for the Company’s product diminishes. In turn, the Company must reduce production, which results in lower rates of absorption of fixed costs and thus lower margins.
Adverse weather conditions can have a negative impact on revenues. Weather conditions can have a significant impact on the Company’s operating and financial results. Sales of the Company’s products are generally stronger just before and during spring and summer, and favorable weather during these months generally has a positive effect on consumer demand. Conversely, unseasonably cool weather, excessive rainfall or drought conditions during these periods can reduce demand. Hurricanes and other storms can result in the disruption of the Company’s manufacturing operations and its distribution channel.
Higher energy costs can adversely affect the Company’s results and can hurt demand for the Company’s products. Higher energy costs increase the Company’s operating costs at its manufacturing facility and the cost of shipping its products to dealers. In addition, the Company’s products are powered by gasoline and diesel engines and any increase in the price of petroleum-based fuel, or the imposition of taxes or an interruption of supply, could reduce the demand for the Company’s products.
Higher interest rates can reduce demand. The Company’s products are often financed. Rising interest rates can have an adverse effect on dealers’ and consumers’ ability to finance boat purchases.
Disruption of deliveries from the Company’s single-source suppliers can adversely affect production and revenues. The Company’s single-source supply and just-in-time inventory strategies of some critical boat components, including high performance marine engines, could adversely affect production if a single-source supplier is unable for any reason to meet the Company’s requirements on a timely basis.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.

| | | |
Over the last several years there have been significant expenditures for property, plant and equipment, which include plant additions, a travel lift bay, a boat ramp, and docking facilities along a 600-foot canal leading to the Pamlico River. In addition, the Company has approximately 200,000 square feet of concrete paving surrounding the buildings and providing guest or employee parking. The present plant site can accommodate an addition of up to 300,000 square feet of manufacturing space.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
As of June 30, 2006, the Company’s only operating subsidiary was a defendant in in lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of its business, including six alleged breach of warranty or product liability suits. In the Company’s opinion these lawsuits are without merit and, therefore, the Company intends to vigorously defend its interest in such suits. The Company carries sufficient liability and product liability insurance to cover attorney’s fees and any losses that may occur from a product liability or breach of contract suit, over and above applicable insurance deductibles. The management of the Company believes that none of such current proceedings will have a material adverse effect.
The Company’s subsidiary was notified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) that it had been identified as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) in the remediation of contamination at a clean up site. The Group administrator estimated the Company’s share of future remediation cost to be $28,105. The Company is eligible for a de Minimus Settlement Agreement, which is expected to be finalized in 2006.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Certain statements in Management’s Discussion and Analysis are forward-looking as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based on current expectations that are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from expectations as of the date of this filing because of factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Annual Report.
The Company has developed criteria for determining whether a shipment should be recorded as a sale or as a deferred sale (a balance sheet liability). The criteria for recording a C.O.D. sale, or payments prior to shipment sale or sale financed through third-party floor plan arrangements, are that the boat has been completed and shipped to a dealer or to the Government, that title has passed to the dealer or to the Government, and that there is no direct commitment to repurchase the boat or to pay floor plan interest beyond the sales program terms. As described more fully below at “Business Environment”, most of the Company’s shipments to dealers were financed through floor plan arrangements with third-party lenders pursuant to which the Company is subject, for a limited time, to repurchase boats repossessed by the third-party lenders if the dealer defaults under his credit arrangement. The Company has no repurchase liability for the balance of shipments. This is the method of sales recognition believed to be in use by most boat manufacturers.
At June 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004, there were no commitments to dealers to pay the interest on floor plan financed boats in excess of the time period specified in the Company’s written sales program and there were no direct repurchase agreements. There were no deferred sales or cost of sales estimated at June 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004.
The Company has a contingent liability to repurchase boats where it participates in the floor plan financing made available to its dealers by third-party finance companies, aggregating to $35,212,412 and $21,443,054 at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Sales to participating dealers are approved by the respective finance companies. If a participating dealer does not satisfy its obligation to the lender and the boat is subsequently repossessed by the lender, then the Company may be required to repurchase the boat.
Business Environment.
The Company has achieved its strategic goal of increasing revenue and broadening its presence in the high performance fish boat market and retaining its predominance in the high performance sport boat market. With revenue of $79,226,224 for Fiscal 2006 the Company has increased its revenue 34% over the past two years.
Accomplishments in support of the Company’s strategic goals for 2006 include:
| · | Expansion of the fish boat product line, marketing emphasis on fish boat products and increased support of the Southern King Fish Association and American Striper Association tournament programs boosted the Company’s revenue from fish boats by 38% over 2005. |
| · | Redesign of the 38’ express cruiser and expanded production of the 48’ express cruiser increased revenue for cruisers by 18% over 2005. |
| · | Enhancing the top of the line sport boat models and offering promotional programs for other sport boat models enabled the Company to maintain its predominant share of the high performance sport boat market. |
| · | The Company strengthened its distribution channel by training its dealer’s sales force through its “Fountain University” program and establishing strong dealers who are capable of representing the Company’s products in regions that were previously producing weak sales. |
The Company’s strategic goals for Fiscal 2007 include:
| · | Redirect the Company’s focus from double-digit revenue growth to improving net income. The Company anticipates its revenue to be approximately at the same level as Fiscal 2006 with potentially a 4 - 5% increase. |
| · | Continue to enhance the fish boat product line with new and improved models. |
| · | Introduce a high performance 52’ sport fish cruiser to fill a niche in the lucrative sport fishing market. |
| · | Implement Lean Manufacturing in the Company’s production facility using the Toyota Production System (TPS) concepts. The main goal of TPS is to eliminate seven types of waste: defects, overproduction, transportation, waiting, inventory, motion and over processing. |
Fiscal 2006 was a year of significant growth in revenue with a 11% increase over 2005 and 34% increase over the past two year span. Firm order backlog remained strong at June 30, 2006 at $43 million even though revenue for the fourth quarter was a record at $23,332,064.
Net Sales for Fiscal 2006 of $79,226,224 were up 11% from Fiscal 2005 sales of $71,182,069. Sales for Fiscal 2004 were $59,296,964. The Company attributes the sales increase to increased sales of larger fish boat models, and increased cruiser production.
Net Sales by product line for the Fiscal years of 2006, 2005 and 2004 are:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Fiscal 2006 Net Sales | | % of Sales | | Fiscal 2005 Net Sales | | % of Sales | | Fiscal 2004 Net Sales | | % of Sales | |

Gross profit on sales for Fiscal 2006 was $13,073,800, 16.5% of net sales, as compared to $10,910,563, 15.3% of net sales, for Fiscal 2005. Gross profit for Fiscal 2004 was $10,049,221, 16.9% of net sales. Productivity and labor efficiency were improved in 2006 as compared to 2005. Material cost increases were partially offset by price increases on certain boat models and did not have an adverse affect on gross margins. Margin gains from productivity improvements were partially offset by promotional programs and pricing concessions employed to maintain sales volume.
No boats were repurchased in Fiscal 2006 or Fiscal 2005 in connection with floor plan arrangements. Two boats were repurchased on floor plan arrangements during Fiscal 2004 and were re-sold to other dealers. At June 30, 2006, the Company had recorded a $15,459 reserve for losses which may be reasonably expected to be incurred on boat repurchases in future years. At June 30, 2005 and at June 30, 2004 the reserve was $75,000.
The Company introduced a new fish boat model in Fiscal 2006 to increase its range of fish boat models in that product market that has experienced significant growth in sales. The Company also upgraded three sport boat models to continue its strong presence in that product market. The Company completed a major redesign of its 38’ express cruiser in the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2006.
Results of Operations.
Operating profit was $2,275,355 for Fiscal 2006, as compared to $1,766,347 in 2005 and $1,830,080 in Fiscal 2004. Operating profit for Fiscal 2006 was affected by the circumstances outlined above in the gross margin discussion of this report and increased selling and administrative expenses.
Fiscal 2006 net income for the Company was $2,404,912 or $.50 per share. This compares to a net income of $756,212 or $.16 per share for Fiscal 2005 and net income of $609,087 or $.13 per share for Fiscal 2004.
Depreciation expense was $2,020,860 for Fiscal 2006, $1,840,168 for Fiscal 2005, and $2,052,314 for Fiscal 2004.
Overall selling and general and administrative expense for Fiscal 2006 was $10,798,445, a $1,654,229 increase from $9,144,216 in Fiscal 2005.
Selling expenses were $6,765,871 for Fiscal 2006, $5,726,283 for Fiscal 2005 and $5,558,709 for Fiscal 2004. The increase in selling expense was primarily from an increase in advertising expenses, including an expanded international advertising program, and increased expenses for the Company’s support of offshore racing and fishing tournament programs.
Major selling expenses for the past three fiscal years were as follows:
| | | | | | | |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | | 2004 | |
Fishing & racing | | $ | 1,918,598 | | $ | 1,213,686 | | $ | 1,053,134 | |
Advertising | | | 1,412,435 | | | 1,264,368 | | | 1,508,773 | |

Dealer support | | | 550,138 | | | 294,092 | | | 139,838 | |
Other selling expenses | | | 1,259,657 | | | 1,346,964 | | | 1,288,383 | |
Total | | $ | 6,765,871 | | $ | 5,726,283 | | $ | 5,558,709 | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
General and administrative expenses include the executive, finance, human resources, information technology, legal and administrative operating expenses of the Company. These expenses were $4,032,574 for Fiscal 2006, $3,417,933 for Fiscal 2005, and $2,660,432 for Fiscal 2004. Increased administrative expenses for 2006 were generally attributable to expenses related to the restatement of 2004 and 2005 financial statements, legal expenses related to breach of warranty suits, of which the more costly suits have been settled, and consulting services for preparation of internal controls and procedures to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley Act: Section 404, all of which are non-recurring expenses. There were also increased expenses for the Company’s investor awareness program and for airplane lease expenses due to increased travel to the Company’s dealer network.
Interest expense net of amounts capitalized was $1,417,874 for Fiscal 2006, $1,011,860 for Fiscal 2005, and $1,210,477 for Fiscal 2004. Interest expense increased in Fiscal 2006 as a result of the Company expensing $229,801 of capitalized loan costs from the previous Bank of America loan when it was refinanced by the new $16,500,000 loan from Regions Bank.
Current tax benefit is $0 for the year ending June 30, 2006, $21,232 for the year ended June 30, 2005 and $0 for the year ended June 30, 2004. Deferred tax benefit is $1,283,746 for the year ended June 30, 2006 and $0 for the years ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. As of June 30, 2005 the Company had net deferred tax assets of $1,744,004 that were fully offset by a valuation allowance because, as of that date, it was Management’s conclusion that there continued to be doubt as to whether those deferred tax assets were more likely than not to be realized in the future. The deferred tax assets principally related to the potential future benefits of tax net operating loss carryforwards, most of which had been generated during the year ended June 30, 2002 when the Company underwent a major restructuring of its operations. During the year ended June 30, 2006 the Company performed an evaluation, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, of the likelihood of realization of its deferred tax assets. As a result of this evaluation, Management concluded that it was more likely than not that these deferred tax assets would be realized. This conclusion was based on various factors, the most significant of which were (1) the Company’s record of generation of taxable income over the four years since June 30, 2002, during which years the Company has generated federal taxable income that has reduced its federal net operating loss carryforward from $8.1 million to approximately $4.6 million , (2) the Company’s consistency in generating net income during each of those four years, and (3) Management’s belief that the Company is well positioned to generate profits on an ongoing basis such that all tax net operating losses will be utilized prior to any applicable expiration dates. There remains approximately $4.6 million for Federal and $3.7 million for State tax purposes of net operating loss carryovers which expire in various years through 2023 to offset current tax expenses.
The ultimate realization of the benefits from the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the Company’s future earnings, the future tax laws in effect, and other unknown factors; all of which are uncertain. In recent years the Company had elected to provide for a tax asset valuation allowance of $0 at June 30, 2006, $1,709,951 at June 30, 2005 and $2,065,541 at June 30, 2004. As operating results and the economy have stabilized and forecasts of future sales volumes and profitability have improved, the Company has chosen to eliminate the valuation allowance.
Liquidity and Financial Resources.
Net cash provided by operations was $2,772,320 in 2006 and primarily resulted from net income adjusted for non-cash provisions, including depreciation expense of $2,020,860, as well as an increase in Accrued Dealer Incentives of $2,664,491. These were partially offset by an increase of $1,294,057 Accounts Receivable.
Net cash provided by operations was $6,513,768 in 2005 and resulted primarily from net income adjusted for non-cash provisions, including depreciation expense of $1,840,168, as well as a $1,143,255 decrease in Accounts Receivable, a $1,001,236 increase in Accounts Payable and a $2,499,216 increase in dealer incentives. These were partially offset by a $1,842,297 increase in inventories.
Net cash used by operations was $4,164,759 in 2004 and primarily the result of using a portion of the proceeds of the Bank of America loan to reduce accounts payable by $4,824,939, partially offset by net income adjusted for non-cash provisions.
Investing activities in 2006 required cash of $1,962,008 and primarily consisted of purchases of property, plant and equipment of $872,897 and additional plugs and molds of $1,092,994.
Investing activities in 2005 required cash of $3,443,865 and primarily consisted of purchases of property, plant and equipment of $1,463,523 and for additional plugs and molds of $1,641,238.
Investing activities in 2004 required cash of $2,270,207 and primarily consisted of purchases of property, plant and equipment of $776,787 and for additional plugs and molds of $1,060,533.
Financing activities in 2006 used $348,985, primarily for debt repayment to Regions Bank and others.
Financing activities in 2005 used $2,423,739 primarily for repayment of notes payable to Northwestern Mutual Life on the cash surrender value of key man life insurance policies of $1,295,449 and debt repayment to Bank of America and others in the amount of $1,199,080.
Net cash provided by financing activities in 2004 of $8,577,092 primarily resulted from the Bank of America loan of $18,000,000 partially offset by repayments of the existing indebtedness due to GE Capital of $8,648,341 and repayments of loan principal of $763,031.
The net increase in cash in 2006 was $461,327 and was solely attributable to operating activities. The ending cash balance for 2006 was $4,474,552. The Company has key man life insurance policies on its Chief Executive Officer and the cash surrender value on those policies was $2,552,682 at June 30, 2006. Cash surrender value of life insurance policies is not a current asset, however it is available immediately to be withdrawn by the Company as a loan using the cash value as collateral. The combined total of cash on hand and life insurance cash surrender value at the end of 2006 provided the Company $7,027,234 available cash and additional borrowings.
The net increase in cash in 2005 was $646,164 and was attributable to operating activities and the proceeds, approximately $260,000, of liquidating of a Certificate of Deposit. The ending cash balance for 2005 was $4,013,225. The Company has key man life insurance policies on its Chief Executive Officer and the cash surrender value on those policies was $2,179,617 at June 30, 2005. The combined total of cash on hand and life insurance cash surrender value at the end of Fiscal 2005 provided the Company $6,192,842 available cash and additional borrowings.
The net increase in cash in Fiscal 2004 of $2,142,126 was primarily the result the Bank of America loan. The ending cash balance was $3,367,061.
Management is of the opinion that cash flows will be sufficient to satisfy its current and future liquidity demands because of the increase in sales volumes and sales backlogs at the date of this filing. Additionally the Company has maintained a robust sales backlog through the date of this report.
Effects of Inflation.
The Company has not been materially affected by the inflation of recent years. Materials that are petroleum-based (e.g. resin, gel coat, foam) or that contain nickel (e.g. stainless steel) have been subject to significant price increases, and fuel surcharges have increased freight costs. The Company has been able to minimize the effect of material price increases by negotiating favorable purchase agreements with suppliers, using alternative, less costly materials, by finding less costly sources for materials and increasing selling prices of its products to recover the cost increases.
The Company’s products are targeted at the segment of the powerboat market where retail purchasers are generally less significantly affected by price or other economic conditions. Consequently, management believes that the impact of inflation on sales and the results of operations will not be material.
Contractual Obligations.
The following table sets forth a summary of the Company’s contractual cash obligations as of June 30, 2006:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Payments due by period | |
| | Total | | Less than 1 year | | 2-3 years | | 4-5 years | | Over 5 years | |
| | (In thousands) | | | |
Contractual Obligations: | | | | | | | | | | | |
Long-term debt | | $ | 15,941 | | $ | 712 | | $ | 1,569 | | $ | 13,660 | | | — | |
Interest payments on long-term debt | | | 4,178 | | | 1,069 | | | 1,983 | | | 1,126 | | | — | |
Purchase obligations | | | 86 | | | 22 | | | 39 | | | 24 | | | — | |
Total contractual obligations | | $ | 20,205 | | $ | 1,803 | | $ | 3,591 | | $ | 14,810 | | | — | |
The Company has an agreement with Mercury Marine, a division of Brunswick Corporation, that the Company will purchase from Mercury all of the Company’s requirements for marine engines and other power components that Mercury manufactures. The term of this agreement is through June 30, 2011.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements.
Guarantees. Based on historical experience and current facts and circumstances, and in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 45 (FIN 45), “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others — An Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34,” the Company has reserves to cover potential losses associated with guarantees and repurchase obligations. Historical cash requirements and losses associated with these obligations have not been significant. See Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for a description of these arrangements.
Environmental Regulation.
The Company does not believe that compliance with federal, state, and local environmental laws will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s competitive position.
Critical Accounting Policies.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of reported assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results may differ from those estimates. The Company discussed the development and selection of the critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and believes the following are the most critical accounting policies that could have an effect on the Company’s reported results.
Revenue Recognition and Sales Incentives. The Company’s revenue is derived primarily from the sale of boats. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the terms of the sale, primarily upon shipment to dealers, once the sales price is fixed or determinable, and the ability to collect is reasonably assured. The Company offers discounts and sales incentives. The estimated liability for sales incentives is recorded at the later of the time of program communication to the customer or at the time of sale in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of a Vendor’s Products).” The liability is estimated based on the costs for the incentive program, the planned duration of the program and historical experience. If actual costs are different from estimated costs, the recorded value of the liability would be adjusted.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. The Company records an allowance for uncollectible trade receivables based upon currently known bad debt risks and provides reserves based on past loss history, customer payment practices and economic conditions. Actual collection experience may differ from the current estimate of reserves. Changes to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required if a future event or other circumstance results in a change in the estimate of the ultimate ability to collect a specific account or invoice.
Reserve for Obsolete Inventories. The Company records a reserve for obsolete inventories in order to ensure inventories are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value. Fair market value can be affected by assumptions about market demand and conditions, historical usage rates, model changes and new product introductions. If model changes or new product introductions create more or less than favorable market conditions, the reserve for obsolete inventories may need to be adjusted. Refer to Note 1, Nature of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on the basis of accounting for inventories.
Warranty Reserves. The Company records a liability for standard product warranties. The liability is recorded using historical warranty experience to estimate projected warranty costs. If necessary, the Company adjusts its liability for specific warranty matters when they become known and are reasonably estimable. The Company’s warranty reserves are affected by product failure rates and material usage and labor costs incurred in correcting a product failure. If these estimated costs differ from actual product failure rates, and actual material usage and labor costs, a revision to the warranty reserve would be required.
Income Taxes. Deferred taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of temporary differences between financial and income tax reporting using tax rates in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company estimates its probable tax obligations based on historical experience and current tax laws and litigation. The judgments made at any point in time may change based on the outcome of tax audits and settlements of tax litigation, as well as changes due to new tax laws and regulations and the Company’s interpretations of those laws and regulations. These factors may cause the tax rate for the Company to increase or decrease. As of June 30, 2005 the Company had net deferred tax assets of $1,744,004 that were fully offset by a valuation allowance because, as of that date, it was Management’s conclusion that there continued to be doubt as to whether those deferred tax assets were more likely than not to be realized in the future. The deferred tax assets principally related to the potential future benefits of tax net operating loss carryforwards, most of which had been generated during the year ended June 30, 2002 when the Company underwent a major restructuring of its operations. During the year ended June 30, 2006 the Company performed an evaluation, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, of the likelihood of realization of its deferred tax assets. As a result of this evaluation, Management concluded that it was more likely than not that these deferred tax assets would be realized. This conclusion was based on various factors, the most significant of which were (1) the Company’s record of generation of taxable income over the four years since June 30, 2002, during which years the Company has generated federal taxable income that has reduced its federal net operating loss carryforward from $8.1 million to approximately $4.6 million , (2) the Company’s consistency in generating net income during each of those four years, and (3) Management’s belief that the Company is well positioned to generate profits on an ongoing basis such that all tax net operating losses will be utilized prior to any applicable expiration dates.
Cautionary Statement for Purposes of “Safe Harbor” Under the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995.
Certain statements in this Annual Report are forward-looking as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements in this Annual Report may include words such as “expect”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “may”, “should”, “could” or “estimate”. These statements involve certain risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations as of the date of this filing. These risks include, but are not limited to, those set forth under Item 1A - Risk Factors.
Caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on the Company’s forward-looking statements, which represent the Company’s views only as of the date this report is filed. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates. The Company enters into hedging transactions to mitigate this risk in accordance with guidelines established by the Company’s management. A description of the Company’s interest rate hedging activities is presented in Note 1. to the consolidated financial statements. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The Company uses an interest rate swap agreement to mitigate the effect that changes in interest rates have on the fair market value of the Company’s debt and to lower the Company’s borrowing costs on long term debt. The Company’s net exposure to interest rate risk is primarily attributable to the term loan with Regions Bank, which bears interest at a floating-rate. Interest rate risk management is accomplished through the use of a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap. Both the loan and the swap are benchmarked to short-term money market interest rates.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of Fountain Powerboat Industries, Inc. and Subsidiary the for the year ended June 30, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, the related schedule of valuation and qualifying accounts, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
The financial statements for 2004 were previously restated (See Note 14 to the financial statements included in the June 30, 2005 Form 10-K) to correct certain errors primarily resulting in the overstatement of previously reported sales and accounts receivable.

FOUNTAIN POWERBOAT INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of the Business and Significant Accounting Policies.
Nature of the Business: Fountain Powerboat Industries, Inc. and Subsidiary (the Company) manufacture high-performance sport boats, sport wide beam cruisers, wide beam fishing boats, sport fishing boats, and custom offshore racing boats. These boats are sold worldwide to a network of 50 domestic and 12 international dealers. The Company’s offices and manufacturing facilities are located in Washington, North Carolina, and the Company has been in business since 1979. The Company employs approximately 448 people.
Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Fountain Powerboats, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Fiscal Year: The Company’s fiscal year-end is June 30th, which is its natural business year-end.
Accounting 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 the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures 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 estimated by management. These estimates affect:
| • | The reported amounts of assets and liabilities, |
| • | The disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and |
| • | The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. |
Estimates in these consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to:
| • | Allowances for doubtful accounts; |
| • | Inventory obsolescence reserves; |
| • | Reserves for dealer incentives and allowances; |
| • | Warranty related reserves; |
| • | Losses on litigation and other contingencies; |
| • | Environmental liability reserves; |
Cash and Cash Equivalents: For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company had $4,591,738 and $3,733,804, respectively, in excess of federally insured amounts held in cash.
Accounts Receivable: Accounts Receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 7 days from the invoice date for boat sales and within 30 days for all other sales. The carrying amount of accounts receivable is reduced by an allowance that reflects management’s best estimate of the amounts that will not be collected. Management reviews each accounts receivable balance that exceeds 90 days from the invoice date and based on an assessment of the current creditworthiness, estimates the portion, if any, of the balance that will not be collected.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method (See Note 2). The Company records a reserve for obsolete inventories in order to ensure inventories are carried at the lower of cost or fair market value. Fair market value can be affected by assumptions about market demand and conditions, historical usage rates, model changes and new product introductions. If model changes or new product introductions create more or less than favorable market conditions, the reserve for obsolete inventories may need to be adjusted.
Property, Plant, and Equipment and Depreciation: Property, plant, and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation on property, plant, and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method and is based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of its long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of such assets may not be recoverable. (See Note 4)
Fair Value of Financial Instruments: Management estimates of the carrying value of financial instruments on the consolidated financial statements approximate fair values. The carrying values of the company’s short term financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and debt approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments and the variability of the associated interest rates.
Dealer Incentive Accruals: The Company has in the current and prior periods established sales programs to pay service and/or other awards to dealers for boat deliveries into their market territory for which they will perform service or based upon sales of boats from their locations. These programs are based in part on the model of the boat sold, a factor for the dealer’s service performance rating, the dollar value of the sale and other factors. The Company has accrued dealer incentives of $6,367,229 and $3,702,738 at June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Dealer incentive accruals are recorded as a reduction to net sales. These amounts also include an accrual for dealer interest as discussed in Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies”.
Allowance for Boat Repurchases: The Company provides an allowance for boats financed by dealers under floor plan finance arrangements that may be repurchased from finance companies under certain circumstances where the Company has a repurchase agreement with the lender. The amount of the allowance is determined based upon the current financial status of the Company’s dealers. The Company has accrued allowance for boat repurchases of $15,459 and $75,000 at June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 respectively.
Revenue Recognition: The Company generally sells boats only to authorized dealers and to the U.S. Government. A sale is recorded when a boat is shipped to a dealer or to the Government, legal title and all other incidents of ownership have passed from the Company to the dealer or to the Government, and an account receivable is recorded or payment is received from the dealer, from the Government, or from the dealer’s third-party commercial lender.
The Company has developed criteria for determining whether a shipment should be recorded as a sale or as a deferred sale (a balance sheet liability). The criteria for recording a sale are that the boat has been completed and shipped to a dealer or to the Government, that title and all other incidents of ownership have passed to the dealer or to the Government (title passes at the point of shipment), and that there is no direct or indirect commitment to the dealer or to the Government to repurchase the boat or to pay floor plan interest for the dealer beyond the normal, published sales program terms.
In addition to other dealer incentives, the Company offers a sales incentive plan where floor plan interest expense for each eligible boat sale is accrued for the six months (180 days) interest payment period in the same fiscal accounting period that the related boat sale is recorded. The entire six months’ interest expense is accrued at the time of the sale because the Company considers it a selling expense (See Note 8). The amount of interest accrued is subsequently adjusted, along with the related expense, to reflect the actual number of days of remaining liability for floor plan interest for each individual boat remaining in the dealer’s inventory and on floor plan.
Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (See Note 7).
Advertising Cost: Cost incurred in connection with advertising and promotion of the Company’s products is expensed as incurred. Such costs amounted to $1,412,435, $1,264,368 and $1,508,773 for the years ended 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Earnings Per Share: The Company accounts for earnings per share in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 “Earnings Per Share,” which requires the Company to present basic and diluted earnings per share. The computation of basic earning per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The computation of diluted earnings per shares is based on the weighted average number of outstanding common shares during the year plus, when their effect is dilutive, additional shares assuming the exercise of certain vested and non-vested stock options and warrants, reduced by the number of shares which could be purchased from the proceeds (See Note 12).
Warranties: The Company warrants the entire deck and hull, including its supporting bulkhead and stringer system, against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of six years. The Company has accrued a reserve for these anticipated future warranty costs.
Reclassifications: The financial statements and notes for years prior to the year ended June 30, 2006 have been reclassified to conform with headings and classifications used in the June 30, 2006 financial statements. The reclassifications had no effect on net income or shareholder’s equity as previously reported.
Cash Surrender Value of life insurance policies: - At June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company owns six life insurance policies on Reginald M. Fountain, Jr., the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for a total of $7,780,253 and $7,494,446 in coverage and $2,552,682 and $2,179,617 cash value, respectively. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company has no outstanding loans against the policies.
Research and Development: The Company expenses the costs of research and development for new products and components as the costs are incurred. Research and development costs are included in the cost of sales and amounted to $780,520 for Fiscal 2006, $786,129 for Fiscal 2005, and $871,386 for Fiscal 2004.
Derivative Financial Instruments: The Company uses derivative financial instruments for the purpose of reducing its exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates. While these hedging instruments are subject to fluctuations in value, such fluctuations are generally offset by the value of the underlying exposures being hedged. The Company has determined that the hedges’ ineffectiveness is not material and accounts for these derivative financial instruments as an effective cash flow hedge under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” The Company is not a party to leveraged derivatives and does not hold or issue financial instruments for speculative purposes.
The Company utilizes an interest rate swap agreement to hedge exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. Under United States GAAP, an interest rate swap agreement is considered a derivative financial instrument. Due to the nature of the derivative and the intended use by the Company, the derivative qualifies as a Cash Flow Hedge. As such, SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, requires that the value of the derivative be “marked-to-market” periodically and any change in the market value of the swap be reflected in the financial statements of the Company. The market value of the derivative is calculated as of the last day of the period and any change since the end of the previous period is reflected in an adjustment to Stockholders’ Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Recently Enacted Accounting Standards:
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payments” (SFAS No. 123R). SFAS No. 123R requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award with the cost to be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123R as of the July 1, 2005, the effect of which did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs—an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (SFAS No. 151). SFAS No. 151 clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted material by requiring that these items be recognized as current-period expenses regardless of circumstances. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 151 as of the July 1, 2005, the effect of which did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets—an amendment of APB Opinion No. 29” (SFAS No. 153). SFAS No. 153 amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. We adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 153 s of the July 1, 2005, the effect of which did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections - a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (SFAS No. 154). SFAS No. 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes” (Opinion 20), and SFAS No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a change in accounting principle. Opinion 20 previously required that most voluntary changes in accounting principle be recognized by including in net income of the period of the change the cumulative effect of changing to the new accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle. SFAS No. 154 defines retrospective application as the application of a different accounting principle to prior accounting periods as if that principle had always been used or as the adjustment of previously issued financial statements to reflect a change in the reporting entity. SFAS No. 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. We are required to adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 154 during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 is not expected to significantly impact our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In January 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position (FSP) No. 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109 to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004.” This FSP clarifies that the tax deduction related to the new law should be accounted for as a special deduction under SFAS No. 109, which would reduce tax expense for the periods in which such deductions are claimed, rather than as a tax rate reduction in the calculation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. The FSP was effective upon issuance and did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB statements No. 133 and 140” (SFAS 155). SFAS No. 155 allows financial instruments that have embedded derivatives to be accounted for as a whole (eliminating the need to bifurcate the derivative from its host) as long as the entire instrument is valued on a fair value basis. The statement also resolves and clarifies other specific SFAS No. 133 and SFAS No. 140 related issues. SFAS No. 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. We will be required to adopt SFAS No. 155 on July 1, 2007 and do not expect that it will have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). 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 the Company beginning July 1, 2007. Management is currently reviewing FIN 48 to determine the impact of adopting it and its materiality to the Company..
Comprehensive Income - The Company reports as comprehensive income all changes in stockholders’ equity during the year from sources other than shareholders. Other comprehensive income refers to all components (revenues, expenses, gains, and losses) of comprehensive income that are excluded from net income. The Company’s only component of other comprehensive income is unrealized gains and losses related to interest rate swap arrangements. For the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the Company’s other comprehensive income was $149,997, $19,184, and $58,543, respectively, resulting in total comprehensive income of $2,554,909, $775,396, and $667,630 respectively for those years.
Stock Based Compensation - The Company has stock incentive plans that provide for stock-based employee compensation, including the granting of stock options, to certain key employees and other individuals. The plans are more fully described in Note 6. Prior to the year ended June 30, 2006 the Company accounted for stock options issued to employee, officers and directors under the stock incentive plan in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, and related Interpretations. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. Under the Company’s stock incentive plan, stock options are granted at exercise prices that equal or exceed the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Therefore, no compensation expense related to stock options is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income for the years 2005 and 2004.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123(R)). SFAS No. 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods and services. The Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as an expense in the historical financial statements as services are performed. Prior to SFAS No. 123(R), only certain pro forma disclosures of fair value were required. The provisions of this Statement are effective for the fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on July 1, 2005 and it had no effect on net income for Fiscal 2006 because all outstanding options vested fully prior to July 1, 2005.
Had compensation cost for stock options issued to employees under the Company’s stock option plans and agreements been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in 2005 and 2004 consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company’s net earnings before taxes and earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

Construction costs of production molds for new and existing product lines are capitalized and depreciated over an estimated useful life of eight to ten years. Depreciation starts when the production mold is placed in service to manufacture the product. The costs include the direct materials, direct labor, and an overhead allocation based on a percentage of direct labor.
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the Company continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the remaining estimated useful lives of its long-lived assets may warrant revision or that the remaining balance of such assets may not be recoverable. During 2006 and 2005, the Company tested its long-lived asset balances for impairment and no adjustments were recorded as a result of those reviews.
Note 5. Long-term Debt and Pledged Assets.
On September 19, 2005, the Company entered into a $16,500,000 term loan agreement with Regions Bank. The proceeds from this newly obtained long-term loan were used to repay, and concurrently cancel, the long-term loan with Bank of America. Upon cancellation of the Bank of America loan, the Company expensed that portion of the deferred costs paid to acquire the loan which had not been amortized during the term of the loan. The amount of the deferred loan costs expensed is $229,801. The Company’s term loan agreement (the “Loan”) with Regions Bank matures September 19, 2010 and is secured by accounts receivable, inventories, property, plant and equipment, death proceeds under certain life insurance policies, and common stock. Principal payments, beginning at approximately $55,000 and escalating over time, are due monthly, commencing September 30, 2005, with a final principal payment of $12,286,254 due September 19, 2010. Interest is payable monthly. The Loan includes $4,125,000 that bears interest, at the Company’s option, under one of two available methods. The first available interest computation method provides for interest at the higher of the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds rate plus 1/2%. The second available interest computation method bears interest at the sum of (i) the one month LIBOR rate divided by 1.0 minus the Eurodollar Reserve Percentage, and (ii) 1.75%. The Company may select either of the two interest rate methodologies by providing written notification to Regions Bank. The balance of the Loan ($12,375,000 at inception) bears interest that has been set at a fixed annual rate of 6.45% through the use of an interest rate swap. The fixed annual rate of 6.45% is a blended rate that combines the 1.75% premium over one month LIBOR listed above with a fixed interest rate of 4.70% paid by the Company to the counterparty under the terms of our interest rate swap agreement, described below.
The Company utilizes an interest rate swap agreement to hedge exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates. Under United States GAAP, an interest rate swap agreement is considered a derivative financial instrument. Due to the nature of the derivative and the intended use by the Company, the derivative qualifies as a Cash Flow Hedge. As such, SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, requires that the value of the derivative be “marked-to-market” periodically and any change in the market value of the swap be reflected in the financial statements of the Company. The market value of the derivative is calculated as of the last day of the period and any change since the end of the previous period is reflected in an adjustment to Stockholders’ Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the quarter ended September 30, 2005, the Company terminated a then extant interest rate swap agreement with Bank of America related to the Bank of America loan, which was repaid during the period. At termination, that swap agreement with Bank of America resulted in a gain to the Company of $84,524. The Company entered into a new interest rate swap agreement with Regions Bank related to the new Regions Bank loan, taken during the period. The swap agreement with Regions Banks has a notional amount of $12,375,000, a term of five years and a fixed annual rate of 4.70% due to Regions Bank. The swap agreement with Regions Bank has a floating interest rate due to the Company which is based on LIBOR and is reset monthly. As of June 30, 2006 the market value adjustment for this swap results in an unrealized gain totaling $370,585.
The Loan contains certain restrictive covenants setting forth minimum fixed charge coverage, tangible net worth, and debt to tangible net worth ratio requirements. These covenants also include a number of other limitations, including restrictions on capital expenditures, mergers or consolidations, disposal of assets, investments, incurrence of other indebtedness and payment of dividends. The Company expects to maintain compliance with these restrictive covenants, and believes that these restrictions will not have a material effect on the Company’s ability to maintain and improve its facilities and compete with other companies in the boating industry. As of June 30, 2006 the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
On July 12, 2006, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with Regions Bank (the lender) that provides for a secured, non-revolving line of credit under which the Company may obtain up to an aggregate of $5 million in loans from the lender during the one-year term of the agreement. The Company will use loans it obtains under the Loan Agreement to finance its production of boats for display or demonstration at dealer meetings, boat shows, performance trials and factory demonstrations and that are of a configuration that are not available from a dealer’s stock. Boats financed with loans under the Loan Agreement will be sold to dealers after they are no longer needed by the Company.
Each loan under the Loan Agreement will be repayable in full one year following the loan date or, if earlier, upon the sale or transfer of the boat that secures that loan. The Company may obtain a six (6) month extension of the maturity of any loan upon repayment of at least 20 percent (20%) of the outstanding loan amount prior to the loan maturity date. The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement.
At the Company’s option, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement, each loan will bear interest from the loan date on its unpaid balance at a rate equal to (1) the higher of the federal funds rate, as in effect from time to time, plus one-half of one percent per annum, or the lender’s prime lending rate as in effect from time to time, or (2) a rate calculated as provided in the Loan Agreement based on LIBOR.
The Company’s obligations in connection with each loan will be secured by a lien on the boat for which that loan was obtained. Additionally, collateral documents that the Company entered into with the lender on September, 19 2005, to secure the Company’s obligations under a $16,500,000 term loan agreement (including a (1) Deed of Trust, Assignment of Rents, Security Agreement and Financing Statement, (2) Security Agreement, and (3) Pledge Agreement), have been amended to also secure loans under the Loan Agreement. As a result, the Company’s obligations under the Loan Agreement are secured by all real estate and all furniture, fixtures and equipment owned by the Company and associated with its manufacturing facilities, all of the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory and other assets, and all shares of Fountain Powerboats, Inc. (the subsidiary) capital stock that the Company owns.
Following is a summary of long-term debt at June 30, 2006, with current maturities determined based upon the net reduction of debt during the year ending June 30, 2007 that will occur under terms of the above described new loan with Regions Bank:

Note 6. Stock Options.
Effective July 1, 2005 the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS No. 123R”) which was issued by the FASB in December 2004. SFAS No. 123R revised SFAS 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” and supersedes APB No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” (APB No. 25) and its related interpretations. SFAS No. 123R requires recognition of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments in the financial statements over the period the employee is required to perform the services in exchange for the award (presumptively the vesting period). SFAS No. 123R also requires measurement of the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant-date fair value of the award. SFAS No. 123R also amends SFAS No. 95 “Statement of Cash Flows” to require that excess tax benefits be reported as financing cash inflows, rather than as a reduction of taxes paid, which is included within operating cash flows.
The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective application as permitted under SFAS No. 123R. Accordingly, prior period amounts have not been restated. Under this application, the Company is required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Company used the intrinsic value method as prescribed by APB No. 25 and thus recognized no compensation expense for option granted with exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
The company has Stock Option Plans in effect at June 30, 2006. All options outstanding as of June 30, 2005 were fully vested and no new options were issued during the year ended June 30, 2006, therefore no option related compensation cost has been charged against income for the year ended June 30, 2006
On June 21, 1995, the shareholders voted to adopt the 1995 stock option plan. The plan provided 450,000 options to purchase the common stock to be granted by the Board of Directors to employees or directors of the Company. On August 4, 1995, the Board of Directors voted to grant the 450,000 stock options to Mr. Reginald M. Fountain, Jr. at $4.67 per share, exercisable for 10 years from the date granted, on a non-qualified basis. On November 9, 2004, the shareholders of Fountain Powerboats, Inc. approved an amendment to this plan to permit the Board of Directors to extend the term of this plan to August 4, 2008. As of June 30, 2006, none of these options have been exercised.
During 1999, the shareholders voted to adopt the 1999 Employee Stock Option Plan (the Plan), which expires January 11, 2009. Under the Plan, the board is empowered to grant options to purchase up to 120,000 shares of common stock to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company. Additionally, the Board will determine at the time of granting the vesting provisions and whether the options will qualify as Incentive Stock Options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (Section 422 provides certain tax advantages to the employee recipients). During the Company’s November 19, 2002 Annual Meeting the shareholders approved amendment of the 1999 Employee Stock Option Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance under that plan from 120,000 to 175,000 shares. As of June 30, 2006, 88,333 options are available for grant under the plan.
The fair market value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. No options were granted during the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005.
The risk free rate is based upon a U.S. Treasury instrument with a life that is similar to the expected life of the option grant. Expected volatility is based upon the historical volatility of the Company as reflected in the previous 10 years trading history. The expected term of the options is based upon the average life of previously issued stock options. The expected dividend yield is based upon current yield on date of grant. No post-vesting restrictions exist for these options.
A summary of the status of the options granted under the Company’s 1995 and 1999 stock option plans and other agreements at June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, and changes during the periods then ended is presented in the table below:

As of June 30, 2006, the aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding was approximately $9,000. No options were exercised during the year ended June 30, 2006.
Had compensation costs for the Company’s stock option plan been determined using the fair value method, the Company’s pro forma net income would not have changed as there were no options granted or vested during the year ended June 30, 2006.
Note 7. Income Taxes.
The Company has provided for deferred income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, whereby deferred income taxes are determined based upon the enacted income tax rates for the years in which these taxes are estimated to be payable or recoverable. Deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences resulting from a difference between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements.
The significant components of the provision for income taxes for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004 are as follows:

Note 7. Income Taxes. [Continued]

Deferred income taxes are presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as follows at June 30, 2006 and 2005:
| | | | | |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | |

As of June 30, 2005 the Company had net deferred tax assets of $1,744,004 that were fully offset by a valuation allowance because, as of that date, it was Management’s conclusion that there continued to be doubt as to whether those deferred tax assets were more likely than not to be realized in the future. The deferred tax assets principally related to the potential future benefits of tax net operating loss carryforwards, most of which had been generated during the year ended June 30, 2002 when the Company underwent a major restructuring of its operations. During the year ended June 30, 2006 the Company performed an evaluation, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, of the likelihood of realization of its deferred tax assets. As a result of this evaluation, Management concluded that it was more likely than not that these deferred tax assets would be realized. This conclusion was based on various factors, the most significant of which were (1) the Company’s record of generation of taxable income over the four years since June 30, 2002, during which years the Company has generated federal taxable income that has reduced its federal net operating loss carryforward from $8.1 million to approximately $4.6 million , (2) the Company’s consistency in generating net income during each of those four years, and (3) Management’s belief that the Company is well positioned to generate profits on an ongoing basis such that all tax net operating losses will be utilized prior to any applicable expiration dates. There remains approximately $4.6 million for Federal and $3.7 million for State tax purposes of net operating loss carryovers which expire in various years through 2023 to offset current tax expenses. Accordingly, the Company does not believe valuation allowances are necessary as of June 30, 2006 because deductible temporary differences will be utilized primarily through charges against reversals of future taxable temporary differences.
The Company has available federal and state operating loss carry forwards at June 30, 2006 of approximately $4,600,000 and $3,700,000, respectively, which expire at various dates through 2023.
Note 8. Commitments and Contingencies.
Employment Agreement: The Company entered into a one-year employment agreement in 1989 with its Chairman, Reginald M. Fountain, Jr. The agreement provides for automatic one-year renewals at the end of each year subject to Mr. Fountain’s continued employment.
During Fiscal 2005 the Company entered into a one-year employment agreement with R. David Knight, its President. The agreement provides for automatic one-year renewals at the end of each year, subject to Mr. Knight’s continued employment, and compensation for three years in event of termination or change in status without cause due to change in control.
Dealer Interest: The Company regularly pays a portion of dealers’ interest charges for floor plan financing. These interest charges amounted to $1,462,821 for Fiscal 2006, $1,238,274 for Fiscal 2005 and $756,336 for Fiscal 2004. They are included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations as part of net sales. At June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004 the estimated unpaid dealer incentive interest included in accrued dealer incentives amounted to $257,050, $223,542 and $62,894, respectively.
Product Liability and Other Litigation: There were various warranty lawsuits against the Company extant at June 30, 2006. The Company intends to vigorously defend its interests in these matters. The Company carries sufficient product liability insurance to cover attorney’s fees and any losses, which may occur from these lawsuits over and above the insurance deductibles. The Company is also involved from time to time in other litigation through the normal course of its business. Management believes there are no such undisclosed claims which would have a material effect on the financial position of the Company.
Manufacturer Repurchase Agreements: The Company makes available through third-party finance companies floor plan financing for many of its dealers. Sales to participating dealers are approved by the respective finance companies. If a participating dealer does not satisfy its obligations under the floor plan financing agreement in effect with its commercial lender(s) and boats are subsequently repossessed by the lender(s), then under certain circumstances the Company may be required to repurchase the repossessed boats if it has executed a repurchase agreement with the lender(s). At June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company had a contingent liability to repurchase boats in the event of dealer defaults and if repossessed by the commercial lenders amounting to $35,212,412 and $21,443,054, respectively. The Company has reserved for the future losses it might incur upon the repossession and repurchase of boats from commercial lenders. The amount of the reserve is based upon probable future events, which can be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, the allowance for boat repurchases was $15,459 and $75,000, respectively.
401 (k) Payroll Savings Plan: During Fiscal 1991, the Company initiated a 401(k) Payroll Savings Plan (the 401(k) Plan) for all employees. Eligible employees may elect to defer up to twenty-five percent of their salaries. The amounts deferred by the employees are fully vested at all times. The Company currently matches fifty percent of the employee’s deferred salary amounts limited to a maximum of six percent of their salaried amounts, or effectively a maximum of three percent of their salaries. Amounts contributed by the Company vest at a rate of twenty percent per year of service. Mr. Fountain, by his own election, does not participate in the 401(k) Plan. There are no post-retirement benefit plans in effect. The Company’s employer contribution to the 401(k) Plan was $131,626 for Fiscal year 2006, $113,633 for Fiscal 2005 and $86,825 for Fiscal 2004.
Environmental: The Company was notified in 1994 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) that it has been identified as a potential responsible party (“PRP”) and may incur, or may have incurred, liability for the remediation of contamination at the Seaboard waste disposal site, located in High Point, North Carolina (also referred to as the Jamestown, North Carolina site) resulting from the disposal of hazardous substances at that site by a third party contractor of the Company. The Company’s share of the approximately 14.3 million gallons of waste is 19,245 gallons, a volumetric share of .1387%. The Company’s potential liability at this site was defined by the Group administrator to be $28,105. The Company is likely to be eligible for a de Minimus Settlement Agreement, which is expected to be finalized in 2006.
Note 9. Export Sales.
The Company had export sales to customers in the following geographic areas:

Note 11. Concentration of Credit Risk.
Concentration of credit risk arises due to the Company operating in the marine industry, particularly in the United States. In Fiscal 2006 one dealer accounted for 10.9 percent of sales, one accounted for 8.5 percent of sales and four each accounted for 5.8 to 6.3 percent of sales. In Fiscal 2005, one dealer accounted for 10.5 percent of sales, one for 6 percent of sales, and three dealers for 5 percent of sales individually. In Fiscal 2004, one dealer accounted for 10.5 percent of sales, one for 10.2 percent of sales, and two dealers for 5.0 percent of sales individually.
Note 12. - Earnings per Share.
Basic earnings per share represent income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted- average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect additional common shares that would have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance. Potential common shares that may be issued by the Company relate to outstanding stock options and is determined using the treasury stock method.
| | | | | | | |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | | 2004 | |
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding used in basic earnings per share | | | 4,819,275 | | | 4,815,188 | | | 4,761,460 | |
Effect of dilutive stock options | | | 84,674 | | | 74,936 | | | 63,719 | |
Weighted number of common shares and potential dilutive common shares outstanding used in dilutive earnings per share | | | 4,903,949 | | | 4,890,124 | | | 4,825,179 | |
There were no adjustments required to be made to net income in the computation of diluted earnings per share. For the years ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, there were no antidilutive options outstanding. For the year ended June 30, 2004, there were 450,000 options that were antidilutive since the exercise price exceeded the average market price of the Company’s common stock for the year. These antidilutive options have been omitted from the calculation of diluted earnings per share for that year.
Note 13 - Sales by Product Line.
The Company’s net sales resulted from the following product lines for the years ended June 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004:

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)).
