CO. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 1997 (UNAUDITED) 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF OPERATIONS - The Company is engaged in the business of remanufacturing and selling on a wholesale basis remanufactured engines and other remanufactured automobile parts for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury automobiles and trucks. The Company is a franchised remanufacturer for Ford Motor Company with a defined sales territory. The Company purchases the majority of its new raw materials from Ford Motor Company. Remanufactured engines for non-Ford vehicles are also marketed on a limited basis. The principal markets for the Company's products are automotive dealers and jobber supply houses. The Company has no separate segments, major customers, foreign operations or export sales. USE OF ESTIMATES - In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (last- in first-out method) or market. INVESTMENTS - Short-term investments are considered as either trading securities or available for sale securities and, accordingly, are carried at fair value in the Company's financial statements. DEPRECIATION, MAINTENANCE, AND REPAIRS - Property is depreciated generally as follows: Assets Depreciation method Lives ------ ------------------- ----- Buildings Straight-line and declining balance 10 - 20 years Machinery and equipment Declining-balance 7 - 10 years Furniture and fixtures Declining-balance 5 - 7 years Trucks and automobiles Declining-balance 3 - 5 years Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful service lives. The applicable property accounts are relieved of the cost and related accumulated depreciation upon disposition. Gains or losses are recognized at the time of disposal. REVENUE RECOGNITION - Sales and related cost of sales are recognized primarily upon shipment of products. CASH EQUIVALENTS - For the purposes of the Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 8 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED (UNAUDITED) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are short term in nature and the values at which they are recorded are considered to be reasonable estimates of their fair values. EARNINGS PER SHARE - Earning per share have been computed on the weighted average number of shares outstanding (816,000 shares). COMPANY REPRESENTATION - In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of January 31, 1997, and the results of operations and cash flows for the six month and three month periods ended January 31, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations for the periods ended January 31, 1997 and 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted. The Company suggests that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1996. 2. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES INVESTMENTS - During the year ended July 31, 1995 the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. The adoption of SFAS No. 115 had no effect on the 1995 financial statements. 3. LEASE RECEIVABLE On May 26, 1993, the Company entered into a lease agreement with another manufacturer to lease equipment at 8% interest for a sixty-month period. The total minimum lease payments are $41,060 and the unearned income is $20,761 at January 31, 1997. These amounts are shown on a net basis for financial statement purposes. 4. EPA PROJECT COSTS In February, 1991, the Company was served with a complaint from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which contained eight counts of alleged violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 and the Hazardous Solid Waste Amendments of 1984. The complaint alleges, among other things, that the Company has failed to adequately test and properly transport certain residue of hazardous wastes which it was treating at its facility. The Company entered into a Consent Agreement and Consent Order with the EPA, dated May 6, 1994, which provides for settlement of this complaint. This settlement calls for payment of a civil penalty of $32,955, and for the completion of certain remedial projects, estimated to cost approximately $149,725. Total costs paid as of January 31, 1997 are $90,113. The remaining amount of $59,612 has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements. 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Sales for the second quarter, 1997 were 22% higher than for the second quarter of 1966. Sales for the first six months were 15% higher than for the same period a year ago. The sales increase was led by sales of remanufactured engine assemblies, with sales of $625,000 higher than last year. Other product lines with significant sales increases were electric fuel pumps with a $575,000 sales increase. Earnings for the six months ended January 31, 1997 were 33% higher than a year ago due to the increased sales. Second quarter sales were below first quarter sales due to the purchase of new seed units of electric fuel pumps. This purchase enabled expansion of the business base of this product line. Cash and cash equivalents were lower at the end of this quarter than at the beginning of the period due to increased income tax payments. PART II Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS: With respect to the Supplemental Environmental Project (the "SEP") being performed by the Company pursuant to the May 6, 1994 Consent Agreement with the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), the Company has paid total costs of $90,113 for work performed. No further direction has been received from the EPA regarding any testing or clean-up that may be required for contamination found in the large pit after the sludge was removed. No estimate of these costs can be made at this time. If the EPA determines that no further work is required under the SEP, the Company will owe a deferred penalty of approximately $32,955 under the terms of the Consent Agreement with the EPA. Please refer to the Part I, Item 3 of the Form 10-KSB report for the Company's fiscal year ended July 31, 1996 for further discussion of this matter. Item 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES: NONE. Item 3.
