(the Company) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements.  The financial statements are representations of the Company’s management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity.  These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

 

ORGANIZATION

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.  The Company invests its cash balances in overnight accounts that are collateralized by government securities.

 

USE OF ESTIMATES

 

Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

 

Plant and equipment are stated at cost.  For financial reporting purposes, book depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Tax depreciation is computed using the MACRS method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or the estimated life of the lease. Certain real estate is leased from a related party under a lease that has been renewed annually.  Therefore, the leasehold improvements were amortized over the estimated useful life of the asset.  Plant and equipment by major category are as follows at August 31, 2009:

INCOME TAXES

 

The Company is taxed as a C Corporation for federal income tax purposes. The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the “liability method” of accounting for income taxes.  Accordingly, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based upon the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

 

Current income taxes are based upon the year’s taxable income for both Federal and State income tax reporting purposes.

 

The provision for income taxes is as follows:

FOR THE YEAR ENDING AUGUST 31, 2009

 

NOTE 1                                                  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

INCOME TAXES (Continued)

 

Under the guidance in FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 109-1, Application of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, this deduction is treated as a “special deduction” as described in FASB Statement 109.  As such, the special deduction has no effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities.  Rather, the impact of this deduction is reported in the period in which the deduction is claimed on the tax return.

 

The domestic production activity deduction is a permanent book to tax variance and accounts for a reduction in taxable income.  The related reduction in income tax expense was 2% of pre-tax income.

 

In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 48-3, “Effective Date of FASB Interpretation No. 48 for Certain Nonpublic Enterprises.” FSP FIN 48-3 permits an entity within its scope to defer the effective date of FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FASB Accounting Standards Codification TM (ASC) 740, Income Taxes), to its annual financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company has elected to defer the application of the uncertain tax position provisions of ASC 740 for the year ending August 31, 2009. The Company evaluates its uncertain tax positions using the provisions of ASC 450, Contingencies. Accordingly, a loss contingency is recognized when it is probable that a liability has been incurred as of the date of the financial statements and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. The amount recognized is subject to estimate and management judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately sustained for an individual uncertain tax position or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount recognized.

 

Reconciliation of the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective tax rate is as follows:

34.0

Effect of Domestic Production Activity Deduction

 

-2.0

NOTE 10                                           CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company is a claimant/party seeking relief in litigation associated with the warehouse construction in Texas. These matters include mechanic’s liens on the property. The Company has filed a Third Party Action against the general contractor of the project and an Interpleader Action. The Company’s position is that it has withheld all amounts required under the Texas Property Code, will interplead over the withheld funds into the Registry of the Court, and will prevail on any claims for amounts in excess of the interpleaded funds. Amounts withheld for these claims have been accounted for as a fixed asset and are included in the basis of the warehouse.  No additional amount has been accrued as a liability in this matter.

 

The Company is a party to various matters with users of its product. In these matters, the Company is working with its customer’s to resolve concerns. The amount of the potential liability to the Company for all these various matters is not fully determined but is expected to not be material to the financial statements.

 

NOTE 11                                           SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On September 4, 2009, all of the outstanding capital stock of the Company was acquired by Chase Corporation.  The total purchase price was $18.9 million net of cash acquired and subject to certain adjustments relating to the closing date working capital.

 

Associated with this stock sale were certain bonuses to employees and directors. The amount of these bonuses was based on a formula associated with the respective individual’s years of service to the Company. As these bonuses were contingent upon the actual sale and closing, these bonuses have not been accounted for or accrued as of the August 31, 2009 balance sheet, but these amounts were paid by the time of the closing, subsequent to the balance sheet date.
