Note 13. | Business Segment Information. |
The Company is a national manufacturer and distributor with seven segments: Coatings, Foam, Paints, Sealants, Adhesives, Equipment, and All Other. The Company established these segments in the fourth quarter of 2005 due to a change in the structure of its internal organization which caused the composition of its prior reportable segments originally based on subsidiaries to change. The three and six months ended June 30, 2005 have been restated to reflect the change. The Company’s segments are organized based on differences in products. The Company primarily manufactures coatings and distributes foam, paints, sealants, adhesives, equipment, and all other products. Production facilities are located in Texas, Florida and Arizona. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company allocates resources to segments and evaluates the performance of segments based upon reported segment income before income taxes. A substantial amount of administrative expenses are allocated to the segments. The portion not allocated to the segments represents the unallocated cost of certain corporate expenses, insurance, investor relations, and gains and losses related to the disposal of corporate assets and are included in Unallocated Amounts. There are no intersegment sales or transfers.

Our sales increased $2,370,712, or 46%, for the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005, due to an increase in the number of sales personnel, independent representatives, and distributors selling our various existing and new product lines across all of our segments, which resulted in greater penetration in the markets in which we participate.
Our gross profit increased $618,675, or 60%, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005, due to sales volume growth in all of our segments. The gross margin increased 2% for the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005, due to economies of scale realized from increased purchasing power for the raw materials related to our manufactured, and finished, goods, improved manufacturing efficiencies, and changes in our product mix.

Interest expense increased $15,444, or 144%, for the three months ended June 30, 2006 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2005, due to an increase in the aggregate amount of funds borrowed from the note payable - other, which note payable - other was subsequently replaced with a line of credit during the second quarter of 2006. Interest expense - related party increased $1,183, or 3%, in the second quarter of 2006 compared to the second quarter of 2005.
We had income of $29,000 from discontinued operations for the second quarter of 2006 due to a reduction in the reserve for litigation for discontinued operations compared to income of $2,514 for the second quarter of 2005.
Net loss and loss per share for the second quarter of 2006 were $92,737 and $0.002, respectively, compared to a $849,361 net loss and $0.016 net loss per share, for the second quarter of 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net cash used in our operations was $1,373,436 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $2,325,563 for the six month ended June 30, 2005. The cash used in operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was attributable to our net income for the six month period, including the effect of adjustments to reconcile net income to cash provided by or used in operating activities and adjusting for non-cash items, offset by increases in trade receivables, inventories, prepaid expenses and other current assets, and accounts payable, and decreases in deposits and other non current assets, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, net cash used in operating activities for discontinued operations was $331,569 and $410,931, respectively. Cash from operations, available funds under the $3,000,000 line of credit, as well as the funds available from the $1,500,000 commitment from the Chairman of the Board, are expected to continue to be sufficient to meet our operating requirements and to fund our capital spending. It is important to note that our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect a minimal cash balance at June 30, 2006 due to a sweep feature incorporated in the $3,000,000 line of credit, which feature is being utilized to manage cash flow fluctuations and automatically pay down the line of credit when cash is available in our banking accounts to minimize interest expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek to raise additional funds through private placements of common stock to accredited sophisticated investors to fund our trade receivables growth during 2006, an acquisition as part of our strategy for accelerating growth, or to pay down our short and long term debts, depending on market conditions. Net cash used in investing activities was $218,612 for the six months ended June 30, 2006 compared to $2,245,281 for the six months ended June 30, 2005. We invested $93,302 in computers and software and $120,542 in machinery and equipment during the six month period ended June 30, 2006. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,205,816 for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 compared to $4,653,904 for the prior year’s six month period. At June 30, 2006, we are utilizing $2,499,074 from our line of credit and borrowed $590,000 under the $1,500,000 commitment from the Chairman of the Board. We also made $121,629 in principal repayments on our long term debt during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Forward Looking Statements
Statements made by us in this report and in other reports and statements released by us that are not historical facts constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of senior management and express our opinions about trends and factors which may impact future operating results. You can identify these and other forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “intends,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. Such statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events, many of which are outside of our control, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from opinions and expectations. Any such forward-looking statements, whether made in this report or elsewhere, should be considered in context with the various disclosures made by us about our businesses including, without limitation, the risk factors discussed below. In evaluating these statements, some of the factors that you should consider include the following: Financial position and results of operations, including general and administrative expense targets and effects on income from continuing operations; cash position and cash requirements, including the sufficiency of our cash requirements for the next twelve months; accounting estimates, including treatment of goodwill and intangible assets, doubtful accounts, inventory, warranty, and product returns; operations, supply chain, quality control, and manufacturing supply, capacity, and facilities; products and services, price of products, product lines, and product and sales channel mix; relationship with customers, suppliers and strategic partners; application specifications; credit facilities; real estate lease arrangements; industry trends and our response to these trends; sources of competition; outcome and effect of current and potential future litigation; common stock, including trading price; security of computer systems; and changes in accounting policies and practices, as may be adopted by regulatory agencies, and the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Consequently, while the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties.
Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, judgments, and estimates, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies, and other factors that could cause our or our industry's actual results, level of activity, performance or achievement to differ materially from those discussed in or implied by any forward-looking statements made by or on the Company and could cause our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows to be materially adversely affected. We do not plan to update any such forward-looking statements and expressly disclaim any duty to update the information contained in this report except as required by law.
| Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
We do not issue or invest in financial instruments or their derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and are not subject to material foreign currency exchange risks at this time. Our outstanding debt and related interest expense, as it relates to interest rate exposure, in the United States is currently not material to our operations.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within us, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2006, the end of the quarterly period covered by this report. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of the disclosure controls’ and procedures’ objectives, design, implementation and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this report. In the course of our evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm the appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken. Based on the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and operating at a level appropriate to provide reasonable assurance. There were no changes in our internal controls after the second quarter of 2006.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

We did not consider these shares issued and outstanding due to a vesting provision and non-delivery of the shares pending vesting and as such no value was ascribed to these shares when originally issued on May 28, 2002. The value ascribed to these vested shares was recorded at $183,960.
