The Company records deferred taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. This ASC requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between tax basis of assets and liabilities and the amounts at which they are carried in the financial statements, based upon the enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company establishes a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company periodically assesses the value of its deferred tax asset, a majority of which has been generated by a history of net operating losses and determines the necessity for a valuation allowance. The Company evaluates which portion, if any, will more likely than not be realized by offsetting future taxable income, taking into consideration any limitations that may exist on its use of its net operating loss carry-forwards.
Under ASC 740, the Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain position only if it is more-likely-than-not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authority, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements attributable to such position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate resolution of the position.
By adoption of ASC 740, the Company has analyzed its filing positions in all of the federal, state and foreign jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company has identified its federal tax return, its state tax return in New Jersey and its foreign return in Germany as “major” tax jurisdictions, as defined, in which it is required to file income tax returns. Based on the evaluations noted above, the Company has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or disclosure in its consolidated financial statements.
Based on a review of tax positions for all open years and contingencies as set out in Company’s notes to the consolidated financial statements, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740 during the periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
For the six-months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, net sales increased to approximately $12,218,000 from approximately $10,684,000, an increase of approximately $1,534,000 or 14.0%. For the three-months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period of the previous year, net sales increased to approximately $6,081,000 from approximately $5,156,000, an increase of approximately $925,000 or 18%. These increases are primarily due to strengthening demand for the Company’s domestic subsidiaries products and services.
Gross profit on net sales for the six-months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $5,759,000 or 47.1% as compared to approximately $4,849,000 or 45.4% of net sales for the six-months ended June 30, 2009. Gross profit on net sales for the three-months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $2,956,000 or 48.6% as compared to approximately $2,223,000 or 43.1% of net sales for the three-months ended June 30, 2009. Gross profit margins are higher primarily due increased revenue volume and favorable product mix. Manufacturing labor and overhead costs remained relatively stable period over period. The Company can experience variations in gross profit based upon the mix of products sold as well as variations due to revenue volume and economies of scale. The Company continues to carefully monitor costs associated with material acquisition, manufacturing and production.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
Operating expenses for the six-months ended June 30, 2010 were approximately $5,126,000 or 42% of net sales as compared to approximately $5,664,000 or 53% of net sales for the six-months ended June 30, 2009. Operating expenses for the three-months ended June 30, 2010 were approximately $2,635,000 or 43% as compared to approximately $2,841,000 or 55% of net sales for the three-months ended June 30, 2009. Operating expenses are lower for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2010 due to decreases in both sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses, partially off-set by a slight increase in research and development expenses. The decreases in general and administrative expenses are primarily due to lower administrative salaries and stock option expense.
Interest income decreased by approximately $3,000 and approximately $25,000 for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2010, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods of the previous year. These decreases were primarily due to the decline in interest rates in the Company’s interest bearing accounts. In reaction to uncertain financial market conditions, the Company has reallocated substantially all of its cash investments to more secure money market funds. Other income decreased by approximately $30,000 for the three-months ended June 30, 2010. For the six-months ended June 30, 2010, other income increased approximately $39,000. The fluctuations in other income and expense are primarily due to foreign currency gains and losses realized during the periods reported. The Company can experience these fluctuations depending on the timing and percentage of sales recorded in foreign currencies compared to overall reported sales.
For the six-months ended June 30, 2010, the Company realized net income from continuing operations of approximately $619,000 or $0.02 per share on a diluted basis, as compared to a net loss of approximately $422,000 or $0.02 per share on a diluted basis for the six-months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of approximately $1,041,000. Net income from continuing operations was approximately $298,000 or $0.01 per share on a diluted basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $198,000 or $0.01 per share on a diluted basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, an increase of approximately $496,000. These increases were primarily due to the analysis mentioned above.
The results from continuing operations for all periods presented include certain general and administrative expenses which are allocated amongst the Company’s individual business units. Due to the presentation of Willtek as a discontinued operation, these expenses were removed from Willtek and re-allocated back to the Company’s remaining continuing operations. Additionally, for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2009, included in the results from discontinued operations are significant non-recurring sales that make the comparison to 2010 unfavorable.
Net loss from discontinued operations was approximately $1,743,000 or $0.07 per share on a diluted basis for the six-months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to net income from discontinued operations of approximately $58,000 or $0.00 per share on a diluted basis for the six-months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately $1,801,000. The loss for the six-months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to approximately $431,000 of a loss recognized on the sale of Willtek and approximately $1,312,000 of operating losses in Willtek for this six- month period. For the three-months ended June 30, 2010, net loss from discontinued operations was approximately $459,000 or $0.02 per share on a diluted basis as compared to net income of approximately $121,000 or $0.00 per share on a diluted basis for the three-months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of approximately $580,000. The loss for the three-months ended June 30, 2010 was primarily due to approximately $638,000 of operating losses in Willtek off-set by a $179,000 adjustment to the loss on the sale of Willtek recognized in this three-month period.
For the six-months ended June 30, 2010, the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $1,124,000 or $0.05 per share on a diluted basis, compared to a net loss of approximately $363,000 or $0.02 per share on a diluted basis for the six-months ended June 30, 2009, a loss increase of approximately $761,000. Net loss was approximately $160,000 or $0.01 per share on a diluted basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 as compared to a net loss of approximately $77,000 or $0.01 per share on a diluted basis for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, a loss increase of approximately $83,000. The net loss fluctuation was primarily due to the analysis mentioned above.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
The Company’s working capital has decreased by approximately $3,513,000 to approximately $22,641,000 at June 30, 2010, from approximately $26,154,000 at December 31, 2009. At June 30, 2010 the Company had a current ratio of 8.1 to 1, and a ratio of debt to tangible net worth of .2 to 1. At December 31, 2009, the Company had a current ratio of 4.4 to 1, and ratio of debt to tangible net worth of .4 to 1.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
The Company had a cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $11,337,000 at June 30, 2010, compared to approximately $14,076,000 at December 31, 2009. The Company believes its current level of cash and cash equivalents is sufficient enough to fund the current operating, investing and financing activities.
The Company used cash for operating activities, including discontinued operations, of approximately $3,712,000 for the six-month period ending June 30, 2010. The primary use of this cash was due to a loss from operations as well as a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, an increase in inventory, and an increase in accounts receivable, partially off-set by a decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets.
The Company has historically been able to turn over its accounts receivable approximately every two months. This average collection period has been sufficient to provide the working capital and liquidity necessary to operate the Company.
The Company used cash for operating activities, including discontinued operations, of approximately $2,224,000 for the six-month period ending June 30, 2009. The primary use of this cash was due to an increase in accounts receivable, a decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and an increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, partially off-set by a decrease in inventory.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2010 was approximately $2,629,000. The source of these funds was from proceeds relating to the disposition of Willtek, off-set by capital expenditures. For the six-months ended June 30, 2009, net cash provided by investing activities was approximately $2,924,000. The primary source of these funds was from the sale of short-term securities, off-set by capital expenditures.
Cash used for financing activities for the six-months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $1,506,000 and $204,000, respectively. The use of these funds for the six-months ended June 30, 2010 was for the re-payment of a bank loan and periodic payments of a mortgage note. For the six-months ended June 30, 2009, the use of these funds was for the periodic payments of a bank loan and mortgage note.
In 2010, the Company satisfied the entire outstanding principal and interest due on its bank note payable through payment of approximately $1,475,000. Since this bank note was in principle a Euro denominated loan, the outstanding loan balance was subject to foreign currency fluctuations. The Company benefited from the weakening Euro at time of payment.
Other than contractual obligations incurred in the normal course of business, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
In September 2009, the Company secured a line of credit with its investment bank. The credit facility provides borrowing availability of up to 100% of the Company’s money market account balance and 99% of the Company’s short-term investment securities (U.S. Treasury bills) and, under the terms and conditions of the loan agreement, is fully secured by said money fund account and short-term investment holdings. Advances under the facility will bear interest at a variable rate equal to the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) in effect at time of borrowing. Additionally, under the terms and conditions of the loan agreement, there is no annual fee and any amount outstanding under the loan facility may be paid at any time in whole or in part without penalty. As of June 30, 2010, the Company had no borrowings outstanding under the facility and approximately $6,000,000 of borrowing availability.
The Company believes that its financial resources from working capital are adequate to meet its current needs. However, should current global economic conditions continue to deteriorate, additional working capital funding may be required which may be difficult to obtain due to restrictive credit markets.
Throughout its ownership of Willtek, the Company had been required to fund its foreign operations through cash loans and advances. Due to the successful completion of the sale of Willtek’s assets, this funding will no longer be required.
INFLATION AND SEASONALITY
The Company does not anticipate that inflation will significantly impact its business or its results of operations nor does it believe that its business is seasonal.
