PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(1)   History and Business Development.
     We were incorporated as a Florida corporation in July 1998, under the name DAC Technologies of America, Inc. for the purpose of succeeding to the interest of DAC Technologies of America, Inc., an Arkansas corporation (“DAC Arkansas”). In September 1998, we purchased substantially all of the assets of DAC Arkansas. DAC Arkansas, formed as an Arkansas corporation in 1993, may be deemed to be a predecessor of our company. DAC Arkansas commenced operations with the manufacture of various safety products, which were eventually acquired by us. Our principal owners and management held similar positions with DAC Arkansas. We have continued the operations of DAC Arkansas without any significant changes. In July 1999, we changed our name to DAC Technologies Group International, Inc.
     We have not been involved in any bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding. Except as set forth herein, we have not been involved in any material reclassification, merger, consolidation, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business.
     Our primary business is the sale of gun maintenance and gun safety products and to a lesser degree, hunting and camping accessories and household products. Our target consumer base is sportsmen, hunters and outdoorsmen, and recreational enthusiasts. The Company sells its products to retailers and distributors, and advertises its products on its Internet website www.dactec.com.
     At the heart of the Company is a strong culture of innovation and new product development. The Company introduced over 100 new or redesigned products since inception and expects to introduce several new or redesigned products in 2010. The Company’s four main product categories are (1) Gun cleaning and maintenance, (2) Gun safety, (3) hunting and camping, and (4) household.
(2)   Business Plan
     We are in the business of developing, outsourcing the manufacture and marketing of, various consumer products, patented and non-patented. Our products were initially security related, evolving from various personal, home and automotive electronic security devices, to firearm safety devices such as gun and trigger locks, cable locks and safes. Beginning in 2003,

Table of Contents

with the introduction of our line of GunMaster® gun cleaning kits, we shifted our emphasis to gun cleaning items and related gun maintenance accessories. This product line accounted for 69% of the Company’s sales revenues in 2009. In 2009, we also entered into a trademark licensing agreement with Olin Corporation to market certain of our gun cleaning items under the Winchester® brand name for sale of these items to Wal-Mart.
     In 2005, the Company began to develop products for the hunting and camping market which includes game processing equipment, aluminum camping tables and other items. In 2007, the Company added a line of household items, including a line of household cleaning dusters and fireplace screens and related equipment. Sales in these two product lines peaked in 2008, accounting for 19% and 23%, respectively, of the Company’s sales. In 2009, the Company eliminated a number of the low gross margin items resulting in a reduction of Company sales in these two areas to 9% and 7% respectively.
     Although a significant portion of our business is with the mass-market retailer Wal-Mart (approximately 55% in 2009), we have been able to considerably increase our business customer base with large sporting goods retailers, distributors and catalog companies.
     Our products are primarily sourced from manufacturers and suppliers located in and imported from the People’s Republic of China and shipped to a central location in Little Rock, Arkansas for distribution.
     The Company’s business plan and strategy for growth continues to focus on:
    Increased penetration of our existing markets, particularly in the gun cleaning market and accessories and the household cleaning market
 
    Development of new products for the hunting and camping market and our other established markets
 
    Identification and development of products for new markets in which the Company can be competitive due to its manufacturing relationships
 
    Identification and recruitment of effective manufacturer’s representatives to actively market these products on a national and international basis
 
    Aggressive cost containment, both in operating expenses and manufacturing costs
     Management believes that continued growth would require the Company to continually innovate and improve its existing line of products to meet consumer, industry and governmental demands. In addition, we must continue to develop or acquire new and unique products that will

Table of Contents

appeal to gun owners, as well as non-gun related products for the expansion of our sporting goods customer base.
     In addition to our traditional products, our management is actively pursuing initiatives which may add complimentary business products. These initiatives are intended to broaden the base of revenues to make us less dependent on particular products. By developing businesses which focus on products which complement our current line of products, management hopes to leverage these opportunities to not only develop new sources of revenue, but to strengthen the demand for our existing products.
(3)   Products
     A. Introduction.
     Our products were initially security related, evolving from various personal, home and automotive electronic security devices, to firearm safety devices such as gunlocks, trigger locks, cable locks and security safes. Beginning in 2003, we shifted our emphasis to gun cleaning and maintenance items. In 2005 the Company began adding new items in the hunting and camping area and in 2007 added items in the household products area.
     Our products can be grouped into four main categories: (a) gun cleaning and maintenance, (b) hunting and camping, (c) household, and (d) gun safety. In developing these products, we focus on developing features, establishing patents, and formulating pricing to obtain a competitive edge. We currently design and engineer our products with the assistance of our Chinese trading company and manufacturers, who are responsible for the tooling, manufacture and packaging of our products.
  (a)   Gun Cleaning and Maintenance. We market over fifty (50) different gun cleaning kits and rod sets used to clean and maintain virtually any firearm on the market. The top of the line kits are solid brass, and consist of “universal” kits designed to fit a variety of firearms, or caliber specific kits, or replacement items such as brushes, mops, etc. These kits are available in solid wood or aluminum cases, as well as blister packed. We also carry a full line of replacement pieces for each kit. Finally, we also market several kits that have been privately labeled for certain customers. This product area accounted for 69% and 49% of sales in 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
  (b)   Hunting and Camping. This category includes Sportsman’s Lighter, two aluminum camping tables and turkey hunting seat. The game processing items carried in 2008 were eliminated in 2009. This product area accounted for 9% and

5


Table of Contents

      19% of sales in 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
  (c)   Household. This category includes a line of five household cleaning dusters. The line of household fireplace screens, tools and accessories were eliminated in 2009. This product area accounted for 7% and 23% of sales in 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
  (d)   Gun Safety. We market twelve (12) different gun safety locks and five (5) security and specialty safes. The locks’ composition range from plastic to steel, and are designed to range from keyed trigger locks to cable locks. Our security safes are of heavy-duty, all steel construction and are designed for firearms, jewelry and other valuables. Eight of the Company’s gun locks and two of the safes have been certified for sale consistent with the firearms safety standards set out by the State of California. These California firearms safety standards have been adopted by other states and by a variety of gun manufacturers. This product area accounted for 15% and 9% of sales in 2009 and 2008, respectively.
(4)   Manufacturing, Suppliers and Distribution.
     Through our foreign and domestic manufacturing agents, we manufacture, design and build our tooling, molds and products. Currently, at least 99% of our products are manufactured in mainland China. We customarily develop our manufacturing through trading companies located in China. Our principal agent is MDD Trading, Ltd., which is a trading company/agent that is responsible for locating manufacturers for our products. These companies typically provide us with price lists for the manufacture and tooling of our products, which we may or may not negotiate. The products are then purchased from the manufacturers by the trading companies and sold to us at marked-up costs.
     We believe our relationships with our suppliers and manufacturers are satisfactory. Nonetheless, we are dependent upon our primary Chinese supplier continuing in business and its ability to ship to the United States, but believe that we could replace this supplier, if required to, at similar quality and terms. Should any of the manufacturers cease providing for us, we believe they can be replaced within 30 days, without difficulty, and at competitive cost, due to the numerous manufacturing facilities in China capable of manufacturing our products.
     Our administrative offices and primary warehouse facilities are located in Little Rock, Arkansas; our executive office is located in Miami Beach, Florida. We distribute the majority of our domestic and certain of our international business out of our Little Rock facility. In September 2009, under a third party arrangement, we opened a warehouse facility in Los Angeles. This facility is used primarily to ship products to certain Wal-Mart distribution centers and customers located on the west coast. Most of our international business is shipped directly to

6


Table of Contents

our customers from our Shanghai, China location. Products are delivered to our Little Rock facility complete and ready for delivery to our customers. Countries outside the U. S. where we have a presence include: Ireland/England, France, Germany, Russia, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.
     We utilize both internal sales personnel and commissioned independent sales representatives. We use sales promotions and sales development activities to provide assistance to the independent sales representatives through the use of brochures, product samples and demonstration products. We also utilize trade shows, both on a regional and national level to promote our products and to attract qualified sales representatives.
     Our management attempts to maintain sufficient inventory levels to meet customers’ demands, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful in doing so. Turnaround time from the date we place an order with our manufacturers until the product is received in our distribution center is normally between four to six weeks. This quick turnaround time allows us to maintain minimum inventory levels. However, since we outsource our manufacturing, a good portion of which is done in China, it is difficult to predict the efficiency of our vendors. Outsourcing to a foreign country also subjects our manufacturing to the risk of political instability, currency fluctuation and reliability. (See “Risk Factors”)
(5) Competition
     We operate in a very competitive industry, dominated by more than 50 national and international companies with well-established brands, many of whom are better capitalized, have more experience in our industry and have established varying degrees of consumer loyalty. There are no assurances we will ever be successful in establishing our brands or penetrating our target markets. Our products compete with other competitors’ gun cleaning kits, gunlocks and hunting and camping accessories. Many of these products are more widely known than the Company’s products. While we believe that our products are favorably priced to comparable products on the current market, we nevertheless expect competitors to develop and market similar products at competitive prices, possibly reducing the Company’s sales or profit margins or both. (See “Risk Factors”)

7


Table of Contents

Some of our competitors in the business sectors in which we operate are:
    Gun Safety - Master Lock (which presently controls 60%-70% of the market), Smith & Wesson, Shot Lock, Sentry Safes, Pro-Lok and Gun Vault.
 
    Gun Cleaning Kits — Outers and Hoppes
 
    Hunting and Camping – traditional manufacturers of hunting and camping equipment
     We are subject to competition that is expected to intensify in the future because we believe that the number of competitors is increasing. There are no significant barriers to entry into our markets. We feel our greatest difficulties in competing are due to our competitors generally being bigger, better-known, and having greater resources including capital and personnel. We realize it is important to achieve brand name recognition in establishing a market share, which, in turn generates additional market share, giving consumers preferences for brand names. We believe that while brand names operate effectively in mainstream product distribution, there is significant opportunity for lesser-known names with specific products and solutions that appeal to consumers. The keys to our maintaining a competitive position are product design, pricing, and quality of the product and the maintenance of favorable relationships with various mass merchandisers.
(6) Market and Customers.
     The ultimate users of our products include hunters, gun owners, sportsmen and outdoor enthusiasts. Because of the uncertain size of the potential market for our products and the number of competitors, we cannot state, with any degree of certainty, the size of our market share. For example, a market report published by Cygnus Business Media, an international business media company, states that nationally sales of hunting licenses, tags and stamps in 2005 was approximately $724 million. The 2005 figures issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service indicated that total sales rose 2.8 percent from the previous year, from 14.7 million to 14.5 million. More aggressive reports were published by the National Sporting Goods Association, which estimated there are 20.6 million active hunters. The Outdoor Industry Association’s projection would add about six million to that figure and a survey commissioned by National Shooting Sports Foundation reported in 2009 that the number of hunters reached 18.5 million.
     In a National Rifle Association report published in January 2010 it was reported that the number of gun owners in the U.S. approximated 70-80 million (of which 40-45 million owned handguns), and that approximately 40-45% of households have firearms. In addition, the NRA website reported that “...February 2010 ranked as the second highest February and eighth highest month overall for firearm sales, according to data released by the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). Though the 1,243,211 checks in February 2010 represent a 1.3 percent decrease from the 1,259,078 checks conducted in February 2009—the

8


Table of Contents

middle of the boom in gun sales following the 2008 presidential elections—the figure is an increase of 21.7 percent over checks in February 2008. The total number of background checks reported since the beginning of NICS on Nov. 30, 1998 is 112,380,272.”
     A 2005 report published in the Pediatrics online journal found that about 1.7 million children lived in homes where there were unlocked and loaded guns. Most gun manufacturers already provide some kind of lock with new firearms, but the practice is voluntary. The federal legislation that would protect the firearm industry from lawsuits when guns are used to commit a crime includes an amendment that would require locks, or another safety device, to be sold with every handgun. Seven states, including California, already require that locks be sold with some firearms.
     Despite the continuing weakness of the overall economy, manufacturers have reported strong consumer demand for handguns and tactical rifle products in 2009. This period was marked by a new administration taking office in Washington, D.C., speculation surrounding increased gun control, and heightened fears of terrorism and crime. We are unable to assess whether or for how long the recent and significant increase in consumer demand will last. Changes in the factors that are contributing to the very strong consumer demand for handgun and tactical rifle products, particularly in an overall weak economic environment, may adversely affect our operating results.
     Although we sell our products both foreign and domestically, our U.S. sales account for 98% of our overall revenues in 2009 and 2008.
     Our primary customer base can be broken down as follows:
  National retail chains such as Wal-Mart, which accounted for 55% and 71% of sales in 2009 and 2008, respectively
 
  Distributors such as Acusport, RSR Group, Inc., Jerry’s Sport Center, Inc., and Maurice (representing 6% and 3% of sales in 2009 and 2008, respectively);
 
  Sporting goods retailers such as Cabela’s, Academy Sports, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Sportsman’s Guide (representing 24% and 16% of sales in 2009 and 2008, respectively);
 
  Gun manufacturers such as Savage Arms, Browning, Marlin, Glock and SIG-Arms (representing 9% and 5% of sales in 2009 and 2008, respectively); and
 
  Regional retail chains and sole proprietors (representing 7% and 4% of sales).

Table of Contents

     While our arrangements with customers vary, we generally sell on the basis of purchase orders rather than fixed contracts. A purchase order represents a written contract to purchase a specified product(s) at a specified price. Any future orders from a particular customer would be dependent upon that customer’s ability to sell the product and a desire to re-order. Some customers do issue “blanket” purchase orders, which request delivery of a specified quantity over a specified period of time.
     Credit is extended to customers, generally on 30 or 60-day terms. Credit approval is performed by the Company’s factor. Any credit approved by the factor is on a non-recourse basis, thus there is no risk of loss due to non-payment to the Company. For any customers whose credit is not approved by the factor, the Company will make other arrangements, such as prepayment or COD (Cash on Delivery).
     The Company does have a limited warranty on most of its products, typically for one year from date of purchase. The Company does accept return of defective products, and will either replace at no charge or issue credit to the customer for the defective product. The cost to the Company for defective products in 2009 and 2008 was approximately 1.7% of sales.
     The Company maintains a standard price list for its customers, depending upon whether they are a distributor or a dealer. This protects our distributor customers from having to compete with the Company for our dealer customers. The Company does not set mandatory retail pricing for its customers to use.
(7) Intellectual Property.
     We believe that protection of proprietary rights to our products is important because, as we are in a highly competitive market, a patent provides us with a competitive advantage by limiting or eliminating similarly designed competitive products. To this end, we have obtained U.S. patents on certain of our products as follows:
             
Model   Patent No.   Expiration
TVP 095 Trigger Lock
  Des. 375,342     2009  
SWA 03 SWAT Steering Wheel Alarm
  Des. 365,774     2009  
GWA 001 Glass/Window Alarm
  Des. 371,086     2009  
Defense Spray and Flashlight
  Des. 375,994     2009  
Gun Cleaning Kit
  7,020,994B2     2024

     In October 2006, the Company’s application to trademark the name “GunMaster” was granted by the U. S. Trademark office under Registration Number 3,161,436.
     In January 2009, we entered into a trademark/licensing agreement with Olin Corporation for the non-exclusive use of Olin’s “Winchester®” trademark. The agreement limits our use of the trademark to six of our products, including our GunMaster® line which, with the trademark, is sold exclusively through Wal-Mart. The agreement was for a period of one year, expiring on December 31, 2009, subject to renewal. The agreement may be earlier terminated by either party in the event of default by the other. In February 2010, the agreement was renewed for an additional year, on substantially the same terms and conditions. The agreement requires that we satisfy certain minimum conditions relating to our net sales of products and licensing fees. To date, we have satisfied all such conditions.
     To date, we have not registered or trademarked any of our product names except for “GunMaster®” (See “Risk Factor”). We have relied primarily on our patents and licensing arrangements with third parties to avoid infringing on the products of others. We also use the services of patent attorneys to insure that our unlicensed and unpatented products do not infringe. We do not patent or trademark all our products because of the cost and we have been advised by patent counsel that certain products are not patentable.
     As indicated in the chart at page 10, four of our patents expired in 2009 and we do not intend to continue patent protection for these products. With the exception of the TVP 095 Trigger Lock, we have not offered these products for sale in the past several years. See “Risk Factors.”
     Depending upon the development of our business, we may also wish to develop and market products, which incorporate patented or patent-pending formulations, as well as products covered by design patents or other patent applications.
     While we may seek to protect our intellectual property, in general, there can be no assurance that our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights through copyright, trademark and trade secret laws will be effective to prevent misappropriation of our products. See, “Risk Factors.” Our failure or inability to protect our proprietary rights could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, inasmuch as we will often seek to manufacture products, which are similar to those manufactured by others, it is critical for us to ensure that our manufactured products do not infringe upon existing patents of others.

(8) Governmental Regulations.
     Several federal laws, including the National Firearms Act (1934), Gun Control Act (1968), Firearms Owner’s Protection Act (1986), Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act (1993), the 1994 Omnibus Crime Control Act and other laws, regulate the ownership, purchase and use of handguns. Notwithstanding these and other laws, there is not any federal law that requires the use of gunlocks, despite numerous attempts in Congress to pass such legislation.
     In March 2008, the U. S. Supreme Court decided the case of District of Columbia vs. Heller, relating to the issue of whether the gun control laws of Washington, D. C. on non-government persons violated the Second Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, the right to bear arms. The District of Columbia law banned handgun possession by making it a crime to carry an unregistered firearm and prohibiting the registration of handguns. The law separately provided that no person may carry an unlicensed handgun, but authorizes the police chief to issue one (1) year licenses; and requires residents to keep lawfully owned firearms unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock or similar device. The Supreme Court held the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects an individual’s right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that firearm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. The District’s total ban on handgun possession in the home amounts to a prohibition on an entire class of “arms” that Americans overwhelmingly choose for the lawful purpose of self-defense. The Court also held the handgun ban and the trigger-lock requirement (as applied to self-defense) violate the Second Amendment, finding the requirement that any lawful firearm in the home be disassembled or bound by a trigger lock makes it impossible for citizens to use firearms for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional. It is unknown what impact, if any, this ruling will have on our business.
     In addition to federal gun laws, most states and some local jurisdictions have imposed their own firearms’ restrictions. Some states have passed Child Access Prevention (or CAP) Laws which hold gun owners responsible if they leave guns easily accessible to children and a child improperly gains access to the weapon. Additionally, the State of California has enacted legislation that establishes performance standards for “firearm safety devices”, “lock-boxes” and “safes”. California law also requires every gun to be sold with a state-approved child-safety lock to make it easier for gun owners to lock up their weapons. The locks must be of sufficient quality to meet state approval. The state contracts with independent laboratories to test gun locks to make sure the locks will work and cannot be easily removed by unauthorized people.
     The fact that gun safety laws are passed by federal, state, or local governments does not ensure that the demand for our products will increase.
     With the election of President Barack Obama his views on gun control may have an impact on our sales of gun safety devices. While in the US Senate, Obama has supported several gun control measures, including restricting the purchase of firearms at gun shows and the reauthorization of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. Obama voted against legislation protecting

firearm manufacturers from certain liability suits, which gun-rights advocates say are designed to bankrupt the firearms industry. Obama did vote in favor of the 2006 Vitter Amendment to prohibit the confiscation of lawful firearms during an emergency or major disaster, which passed. More recently, Obama initially voiced support of Washington DC’s handgun ban. Following the Supreme Court decision that the ban was unconstitutional, he revised his position in support of the decision overturning the law, saying and affirming that the Second Amendment protects the right of individuals to bear arms.
(9) Research and Development.
     We develop our products internally, utilizing the expertise of our manufacturers, input from an engineering consulting firm and input from our customers. Since we do not design nor create customized specifications, we do not directly generate Research and Development costs. The nature of our relationship with our Chinese trading company does not require that they or our manufacturers, disclose what, if any, R & D costs are sustained in connection with the manufacture of our products. Any R & D costs incurred by our manufacturers is passed on to us in the pricing of the tooling, molds and products and are thus subsumed in the pricing to our Company. Consequently, to the extent, if any, that our manufacturers pass R & D costs to us, they are, in turn, recaptured by us through the pricing to our customers.
(10) Environmental Laws.
     We incur no costs and suffer no adverse effects by complying with environmental laws (federal, state and local).
(11) Employees.
     We currently employ twelve (12) employees, all of whom are full-time: President & Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President of Manufacturing, Sales Analyst, Salesman, Information Systems Tech, accounting clerk, shipping manager and four full-time warehouse workers. There are no collective bargaining agreements.
(12) Reports to Security Holders.
     We file reports with the SEC as a smaller reporting company. Copies of this report, including exhibits to the Report and other materials filed with the SEC that are not included herein, may be inspected and copied, without charge, at the Public Reference Room, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20549, on official business days during the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling the

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
     Historically, the Company has achieved growth by the development of new products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to develop new products, to sustain rates of growth and profitability in future periods. Any future success that the Company may achieve will depend upon many factors which may be beyond the control of the Company or which cannot be predicted at this time. Although we believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business and operations, actual results may differ materially from our expectations. Uncertainties and factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from those set forth or implied, including without limitation:
     The current economic and financial downturn may cause a decline in consumer spending and may adversely affect the Company’s business, operations, liquidity, financial results and stock price. Our operating results are affected by the relative condition of the U.S., and to a lesser extent, the world economy. While the major economic disruptions of the global financial markets have largely subsided, our business and financial performance may be adversely affected by current and future economic conditions that cause a decline in business and consumer spending, including a reduction in the availability of credit, increased unemployment levels, higher energy and fuel costs, rising interest rates, financial market volatility and recession. Additionally, we may experience difficulties in operating and growing our operations to react to economic pressures in the U.S.
     As a business that ultimately depends on consumer discretionary spending, the Company may face a difficult 2010 because our customers may reduce their purchases due to high unemployment, record budget deficits, job losses, foreclosures, bankruptcies, higher consumer debt, loss of consumer confidence, interest rates, reduced access to credit and falling home prices. Decreases in comparable store sales, customer traffic or average value per transaction negatively affect the Company’s financial performance, and a prolonged period of depressed consumer spending could have a material adverse effect on our business. Promotional activities and decreased demand for consumer products, particularly higher-end products, could affect profitability and margins. The potential effects of the economic and financial crisis are difficult to forecast and mitigate. As a consequence, our sales, operating and financial results for a particular period are difficult to predict, and, therefore, it is difficult to forecast results to be expected in future periods. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition and could adversely affect our stock price.

     Additionally, many of the effects and consequences of the U.S. and global financial and economic crises are currently unknown or unpredictable and could potentially have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity and capital resources, including our ability to raise additional capital if needed, and the ability of banks and factors to honor requests for credit, or could otherwise negatively affect the Company’s business and financial results. Although we generally generate funds from our operations and our existing factoring facility to pay our operating expenses and fund our capital expenditures, our ability to continue to meet these cash requirements over the long-term may require access to additional sources of funds, including capital and credit markets, and continuing market volatility, the impact of government intervention in financial markets and general economic conditions may adversely affect the ability of the Company to access capital and credit markets.
     The global crisis may also adversely affect our manufacturers and suppliers’ access to capital and liquidity with which to maintain their inventory, production levels and product quality and to operate their businesses, all of which could adversely affect our supply chain. It may cause manufacturers and suppliers to reduce their offerings of customer incentives and vendor allowances, cooperative marketing expenditures and product promotions. The current crisis and market instability make it difficult for us and our manufacturers and suppliers to accurately forecast future product demand trends, which could cause us to carry too much or too little inventory in various product categories.
     If we are to expand our operations, we may need additional capital. Our ability to timely expand our product operations and, in particular, the production and marketing of our products is largely dependent upon our revenues or the acquisition of additional funding. In the event that additional capital is not obtained or our revenues fall off, we may be unable to timely complete and/or implement our plans to expand our operations. While we believe we have accurately identified strategic and viable business opportunities to pursue, there is no assurance that these will become profitable operations. Technology is a rapidly developing industry and our success is dependent on, among other things, developing commercially acceptable products and pursuing the correct distribution channels. Anti-gun sentiments and a weak economy are potential risk factors, as they may inhibit consumer purchases of guns.
     Our growth program and future profitability remains uncertain. We believe that operating results will be adversely affected if start-up expenses associated with our new product lines are incurred without sufficient revenues. Moreover, future events, including unanticipated expenses or increased competition could have an adverse effect on our long-term operating margins and results of operations. Consequently, there can be no assurance that our Company’s growth program will result in an increase in the profitability of our operations.
     Our success depends on maintaining relationships with key customers. We have several customers upon which we depend for the sale of a large percentage of our products. For

15


Table of Contents

example, approximately 55% of our business is through Wal-Mart. Customer orders are dependent upon their markets and may vary significantly in the future based upon the demand for our products. The loss of one or more of such customers, or a declining market in which such customers reduce orders or request reduced prices, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
     We depend on purchase orders and have no long-term contractual relationship with our customers. Our business relationship is based upon purchase orders with our customers. We have no contracts, which require any of our customers to continue to purchase our products. Although we have had long-term relationships with many of our customers, there can be no assurance that such relationships will continue or that customers will continue ordering our products.
     We depend on foreign contract manufacturers for substantially all of our manufacturing requirements. During 2009 the Company purchased 99% of its products from one major supplier, who, in turn, distributes the manufacturing to multiple companies in mainland China. We also rely on contract manufacturers to procure components, assemble, and package our products. The inability of our contract manufacturers to provide us with adequate supplies of high quality products or the loss of any of our contract manufacturers would have an adverse effect on our business. Because our major supplier and contract manufacturers are located in mainland China, we are exposed to risks of political uncertainty, including United States foreign trade treaties and foreign laws.
     Any disruption in our relationships with any of these vendors or reductions in the production of the material supplied could, in each case, adversely affect our ability to obtain an adequate supply of our products and could impose additional operational costs associated with sourcing raw materials from new suppliers. Although the Company is dependent upon this supplier continuing in business and its ability to ship to the United States, we believe that we could replace this supplier, if required to, at similar quality and terms. Nevertheless, while we have no long-term contract with our supplier or manufacturers, we have had long-term relationships with them and believe such relationship is good, and do not currently anticipate any material shortages or disruptions in supply from this vendor or manufacturers.
     In the past the increased cost of raw materials and manufacturing has adversely affected our profits. During 2009 we experienced a decline in our manufacturing costs due to a decline in the costs of raw materials such as steel, plastic, wood and brass, but there can be no assurance that this favorable trend will continue. The price and availability of production materials for our products are affected by a wide variety of interrelated economic and other factors, including alternative uses of materials and their components, changes in production capacity, energy prices, commodity prices, and governmental regulations. Industry competition and the timing of price increase by suppliers and manufacturers limit to some extent our ability

16


Table of Contents

and the ability of other industry participants to pass raw material cost increases on to customers. We are not advised of the source or availability of the raw materials for our manufacturers. Although alternative sources exist from which we could obtain such raw materials, we do not currently have supply relationships with any of these alternative sources and cannot estimate with any certainty the length of time that would be required to establish such a supply relationship, or the sufficiency of the quantity or quality of materials that could be so obtained.
     Demand for our products and our financial results are dependent on the successful development of new products and processes. Our success depends in part on fulfilling available opportunities to meet consumer needs and anticipating changes in consumer preferences with successful new products and product improvements. We aim to introduce products on a timely basis to counteract obsolescence and decreases in sales of existing products. While we devote significant focus to the development of new products, we may not be successful in their development or these new products may not be commercially successful.
     While we manufacture a variety of products, we rely primarily on the sale of gun cleaning kits and gun safety products as our major source of revenue. Although we sell a number of different products, we rely primarily on two product lines — gun cleaning kits and gun safety products - which accounted for approximately 84% of our total revenues in 2009. Should our sales of either of these product lines significantly decline due to the loss of customers, or a declining market in which such customers reduce orders or request reduced prices, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.
     We may be unable to compete favorably in the highly competitive markets in which we operate. The manufacture and sale of all of our products is highly competitive and there are no substantial barriers to entry into the market. Most of our competitors are large, well-established companies with considerably greater financial, marketing, sales and technical resources than those available to us. Additionally, many of our present and potential competitors have research and development capabilities that may allow such competitors to develop new or improved products that may compete with our product lines. These companies may succeed in developing proposed products that are more effective or less costly than our proposed products or such companies may be more successful in manufacturing and marketing their proposed products. An increase in competition could result in a loss of market share.
     We may not be able to attract and retain the qualified personnel we need to succeed in the future. At present, the success of our company is highly dependent on our Chief Executive Officer, David A. Collins and our Chief Financial Officer, Robert Goodwin. Our future success will depend in part on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel to manage the development and future growth of our company. There can be no assurance that we will be

17


Table of Contents

successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.
     We may be adversely affected by legislation and regulation over firearms. The business of all producers, manufacturers, and marketers of firearms and firearms’ parts is subject to thousands of federal, state and local laws and governmental regulations and protocols. The basic federal laws are the National Firearms Act, the Federal Firearms Act, and the Gun Control Act of 1968. These laws generally prohibit the private ownership of fully automatic weapons and place certain restrictions on the interstate sale of firearms unless certain licenses are obtained. From time to time, congressional committees review proposed bills and various states enact laws relating to the regulation of firearms. These proposed bills and enacted state laws generally seek either to restrict or ban the sale and, in some cases, the ownership of various types of firearms. When such laws restrict the ownership of guns, they will have a material adverse effect on our business since our major products are gun and hunting related. Such laws, rules, regulations and protocols are subject to change. There can be no assurance that the regulation of firearms will not become more restrictive in the future and that any such restriction would not have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company.
     We extend credit to our customers and should our customers default on their obligations to us, we may be subject to credit risk. The Company provides credit in the normal course of business to its customers and performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The majority of our accounts are factored on a non-recourse basis, which reduces the Company’s exposure to credit risk. At the end of 2009 we entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement with Wachovia Bank which further reduced our credit risk exposure. We also maintain allowances for doubtful accounts and provisions for returns and credits based on factors surrounding the specific customers and circumstances. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers. In sum, credit risk is considered by management to be limited due to the Company’s customer base, its account receivable factoring and selling arrangements, and its customers’ financial resources.
     We Need Liquidity to Operate Our Business. Due to the capital demands of operating our business it is necessary that we have continuous liquidity. Our liquidity is, in large part, dependant on our ability to factor and sell our account receivables. We also maintain a $1,000,000 line of credit with a local bank. In the event each of these agreements and arrangements terminate or fail for any reason, it is likely to have a negative effect on our ability to operate at the same level.
     The inability to secure and maintain rights to intellectual property could adversely affect our business. With the exception of “Gunmaster” we have not to date registered or trademarked any of our product names. While we may seek to protect our intellectual property,

18


Table of Contents

and have trademarked the GunMaster® name, there can be no assurance that our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights through copyright, trademark and trade secret laws will be effective to prevent misappropriation of our products.
     Moreover, with the exception of our Gun Cleaning Kit, our four other patented products expired in 2009. Our failure or inability to protect our proprietary rights could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Among other things, it could foster more competition or create identical products sold under different labels. Moreover, inasmuch as we will often seek to manufacture products that are similar to those manufactured by others, it is critical for us to insure that our manufactured products do not infringe upon existing patents of others. Patent and other type intellectual property lawsuits are extremely expensive to prosecute or defend, and in either case success cannot be assured.
     The sale of our licensed products depends on the goodwill associated with the name and brand and the success of our licensors. Licensed products sold by us compete, in part, on the goodwill associated with the name and brand and the success of our licensors. In January 2009 we entered into a licensing agreement with Olin corporation for the use of the “Winchester®” trademark. A decline in the perceived quality of the Winchester® products or name, or other circumstances adversely affecting its reputation could significantly damage our ability to sell our licensed products. Moreover the expiration or termination of the licenses may adversely impact our net sales revenues for those products.
     The Company has engaged in several related-party transactions, which were not effected in arms-length transactions. On occasion, we have engaged with related parties, including our chief executive officer and certain shareholders in related party transactions. These transactions include loans made by and to the Company, and were not arms-length. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence” at Item 13. There has been no independent evaluation of the transactions, and therefore there can be no assurance that these transactions are fair to the Company.
     We face risks associated with international trade and currency exchange. Annually, we purchase approximately $10-11 million of inventory from the Chinese manufacturers and suppliers. This exposes us to risk from foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Political and economic conditions abroad may result in increasing the cost of our foreign manufactured products, particularly those manufactured in mainland China. Protectionist trade legislation in either the United States or foreign countries, such as a change in the current tariff structures, export or import compliance laws, or other trade policies, could reduce our ability to import our products from foreign manufacturers and suppliers. While we transact business predominantly in U.S. dollars and bill and collect most of our sales in U.S. dollars, our revenues result from goods that were manufactured or purchased, in whole or in part, from Chinese manufacturers and

19


Table of Contents

suppliers in Renminbi currency, thereby exposing us to some foreign exchange fluctuations.
    We face risks associated with international activities. These activities expose us to various economic, political, and other risks, including the following:
    Compliance with local laws and regulatory requirements as well as changes in those laws and requirements;
 
    Foreign exchange rate fluctuations;
 
    Limitations on exports;
 
    The possibility of appropriation of our assets without just compensation;
 
    Overlap of tax issues;
 
    Tariffs and duties;
 
    The burdens and costs of compliance with a variety of foreign laws; and political or economic instability in countries in which we conduct business, including possible terrorist acts.
     Changes in policies by the United States or foreign governments resulting in, among other things, increased duties, higher taxation, currency conversion limitations, restrictions on the transfer or repatriation of funds, or limitations on imports or exports also could have a material adverse effect on us. Any actions by foreign countries to reverse policies that encourage foreign trade also could adversely affect our operating results. In addition, U.S. trade policies, such as “most favored nation” status and trade preferences, could affect the attractiveness of our services to our U.S. customers.

     The following Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition is qualified by reference to and should be read in conjunction with, our Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto as set forth at the end of this document. We include the following cautionary statement in this Form 10-K for any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans,

objectives, goals, strategies, expectations, future events or performances and underlying assumptions and other statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. Certain statements contained herein are forward-looking statements and accordingly, involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. The Company’s expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and are believed by the Company to have a reasonable basis, including without limitations, management’s examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the Company’s records and other data available from third parties, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs or projections will result or be achieved or accomplished.
(1) Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
     Results of Operations
          The Company reported net income of $553,555 on net sales of $14,680,709 for 2009 as compared to net income of $356,694 on net sales of $17,042,361 for 2008. Net income increased $196,861, or 55%, while net sales decreased $2,361,652, or 14%. Earnings per share increased from $0.06 to $0.10, a 67% increase.
          As previously reported, in 2009 the Company eliminated several low gross margin products in the hunting and camping and household lines and shifted its sales efforts back to its core gun cleaning and maintenance line. Gross Sales of the Company’s gun cleaning and maintenance products increased $1,828,456, or 21% over 2008, offsetting somewhat the lost sales due to the elimination of the lower gross margin items.
          The reversal during 2009 of the inflationary pressure the Company experienced in prior years from rising commodity prices had a positive effect on gross margins, as did the elimination of the lower gross margin products. Gross margins increased from 23% in 2008 to 28% in 2009. Because of this increase in gross margins, the Company’s gross profit increased $297,086, or 8% over 2008, despite the $2,361,652 decrease in net sales.
          Operating expenses remained virtually unchanged in 2009 as compared to 2008. Operating expenses increased 3.6%, from $2,923,194 in 2008 to $3,029,997 in 2009. These increases were directly related to the opening of the west coast distribution center and office in Bentonville, Arkansas.

     Accounts receivable and due from factor
          The Company maintains a factoring agreement wherein it assigns its receivables (on a non-recourse basis). The factor performs all credit and collection functions, and assumes all risks associated with the collection of the receivables. The Company pays a fee of 65/100ths of 1% of the face value of each receivable for this service. This fee is included in interest expense on the Company’s consolidated statements of income. In addition, in order to generate immediate cash flow, the Company may borrow against the assigned receivables prior to their collection and is charged interest on any such advances.
          Accounts receivable on the Company’s balance sheet represents those receivables that have not yet been legally assigned to the factor. Due from factor represents the net equity the Company has in its assigned receivables reduced by any funds advanced by the factor. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, these amounts are calculated as follows:

          On December 4, 2009, the Company entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement with Wachovia Bank wherein the Company sells its receivables from Wal-Mart at a discounted price to Wachovia Bank. This agreement is part of a vendor finance program initiated by Wal-Mart on behalf of their vendors. Under the terms of the agreement, Wal-Mart confirms to

24


Table of Contents

Wachovia, normally within five to seven business days, that they accept and agree to pay certain receivables generated by sales to them by the Company. Wachovia then purchases these confirmed receivables, discounted at an annual rate equal to the 90 day LIBOR rate plus 1.75% for the number of days remaining until the receivables come due under our normal terms with Wal-Mart. We believe, under the terms of the agreement with Wachovia, the discount charged by Wachovia is less than the fee charged by our factor. In addition there is no interest charge to us since the receivables are being purchased by Wachovia as contrasted to loans in the case of our factor. Under the agreement Wachovia is entitled to reject any receivable. Either party may terminate the agreement upon 30 days notice to the other. We believe, this agreement will result in substantial savings for the Company. This agreement does not impact or effect our factoring arrangement with receivables other than those generated from our relationship with Wal-Mart.
          To effectuate the transition from our factor to Wachovia, it was necessary to receive release from our factor of their claim to any receivables previously assigned to them. In order to accomplish this, Wal-Mart agreed to pay all invoices assigned to our factor prior to their normal due date. In late December 2009, the Company’s factor received payment from Wal-Mart for approximately $2.1 million in receivables prior to their normal due date, and an additional $200,000 in January 2010, which paid off all Wal-Mart receivables assigned to our factor. This early payment of $2.1 million, coupled with the reduced sales in the fourth quarter from the elimination of certain products, resulted in the $3,210,314 reduction in total receivables at December 31, 2009 as compared to 2008.
          Inventories
     Inventories increased $1,736,784 from 2008 to 2009. This increase was the result of fourth quarter sales being less than what management had estimated. This additional inventory has been rolled over for sale into 2010 as it consists of products commonly sold to the Company’s major customers. This has resulted in the Company having to reduce its manufacturing orders in the first quarter of 2010.
          Liabilities
          Trade accounts payable, which is related primarily to inventory purchases, remained virtually unchanged from 2008, despite the increase in inventory.
          Liquidity and Capital Resources
          Our primarily source of cash is funds from our operations. We believe that external sources of liquidity could be obtained in the form of bank loans, letters of credit, etc. We maintain an account receivable factoring arrangement in order to insure an immediate cash

Table of Contents

flow. The factor may also, at its discretion, advance funds prior to the collection of our accounts. Repayment of advances are payable to the factor on demand. Should our sales revenues significantly decline, it could affect our short-term liquidity. For the period ending December 31, 2009, the outstanding balance owed to our factor was $1,053,648.
     As previously reported in the Company’s 10Q for the period ending September 30, 2009, CIT Group, Inc., the parent company of the Company’s factor, filed for Chapter 11 protection under the federal bankruptcy code on November 1, 2009. On December 10, 2009, CIT Group, Inc. emerged from Chapter 11 proceedings pursuant to a prepackaged plan of reorganization that was confirmed by an order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York on December 8, 2009. The Company continues to factor most of its receivables (excluding Wal-Mart) with CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc. There has been no interruption in services or funding provided by the Company’s factor. Moreover, by entering into a Receivables Purchase Agreement with Wachovia Bank for the Company’s Wal-Mart receivables and securing a $1,000,000 line of credit, the Company believes it has protected itself from any interruption in required cash needs should conditions change with the ability of its factor to provide funding. These actions have also protected the Company by reducing its risk of loss to an immaterial amount should its factor fail in implementing its reorganization plan. The Company has and will continue to monitor the financial status of its factor.
          On December 4, 2009 the Company entered into a Receivables Purchase Agreement with Wachovia Bank, certain terms of which are discussed above, for the sale of the Company’s receivables with Wal-Mart to Wachovia. The Company began receiving funding under this agreement on February 2, 2010.
          On August 10, 2009 the Company secured a $1,000,000 line of credit with a local bank, collateralized by its inventory. This line of credit was renewed on February 10, 2010 and matures on April 10, 2011. The interest rate on this line of credit is 6%. At December 31, 2009, the Company did not have an outstanding balance on this line of credit.
          The Company has two demand notes with a local bank guaranteed by our CEO, David Collins. The loans bear interest at 7.25% and mature in 2010. The total principal balance of these loans on December 31, 2009 totaled $52,454. We believe our revenues will be sufficient to pay these obligations. If not, we will seek to refinance them or request our shareholder to pay his guarantees.
     Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
     The Company is a party to a lease arrangement for its executive offices. Information pertaining to this arrangement is present in Item 2 – Properties and Item 13 – Certain

Table of Contents

Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence. The Company does not believe that this arrangement has, or is reasonably likely to have, a material effort on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or resources.
          We do not have any transactions, arrangements, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that are reasonably likely to affect our liquidity or capital resources. We have no special purpose or limited purpose entities that provide off-balance sheet financing, liquidity, or market or credit risk support that engage in leasing, hedging, research and development services, or other relationships that expose us to liability that is not reflected on the face of the financial statements.
          Trends
          In previous years, our business faced the issue of increased manufacturing costs and margin erosion as a result of raw material, fuel and other utility price increases, and a weak dollar. This put pressure on our margins and overhead costs. During 2009, this trend reversed itself, as decreases in raw materials and other costs resulted in decreased manufacturing costs for the Company’s products. These decreased manufacturing costs had a favorable impact on our business as our gross margins increased significantly over previous years. It is difficult to ascertain whether this trend will continue in the future (See “Risk Factors”).
          Critical Accounting Estimates
          The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. Certain of these accounting policies, as discussed below, require management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that could materially affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties. For all of these estimates, we caution that future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require adjustment.

27


Table of Contents

          Long-lived Assets
          Depreciation expense is based on the estimated useful lives of the underlying property and equipment. Although the Company believes it is unlikely that any significant changes to the useful lives of its property and equipment will occur in the near term, an increase or decrease in the estimated useful lives would result in changes to depreciation expense.
          The Company continually reevaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets, for events or changes in circumstances, which indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. As part of this reevaluation, if impairment indicators are present, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposal. If the sum of the expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the long-lived asset to the estimated fair value of the asset.
          Patents and Trademarks
          Amortization expense is based on the estimated economic useful lives of the underlying patents and trademarks. Although the Company believes it is unlikely that any significant changes to the useful lives of its patents and trademarks will occur in the near term, rapid changes in technology or changes in market conditions could result in revisions to such estimates that could materially affect the carrying value of these assets and the Company’s future consolidated operating results.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
          As more fully described in a Form 8-K that we filed with the SEC on January 7, 2010, we were notified that, effective January 1, 2010, Frost, PLLC (“Frost”), our independent accountant, and the principal accountant who was engaged to audit our financial statements, and certain partners of Moore Stephens Wurth Frazer and Torbet, LLP (“MSWFT”) formed Frazer Frost, LLP (“Frazer Frost”), a new partnership. Pursuant to the terms of a Combination Agreement by and among Frost, MSWFT and Frazer Frost, each of Frost and MSWFT contributed substantially all of their assets and certain of their liabilities to Frazer Frost, resulting in Frazer Frost assuming Frost’s engagement letter with us and becoming our new independent accounting firm, and the principal accountant engaged to audit our financial statements, effective January 1, 2010. As a consequence of the transaction between Frost and MSWFT forming Frazer Frost, and simultaneously with the effectiveness of this transaction, Frost resigned as our certifying accountant. The Company’s Board of Directors—there being no audit or other similar committee of the Board—approved the change by resolution dated January 7, 2010.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
          Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for the Company.
          Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3)provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
          Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures.
          A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.
          Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of the Evaluation Date, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on its evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the Evaluation Date.
          Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of Evaluation Date and identified the following material weaknesses:
    INADEQUATE SEGREGATION OF DUTIES: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures.
 
    LACK OF AUDIT COMMITTEE & OUTSIDE DIRECTORS ON THE COMPANY’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS: We do not have a functioning audit committee or outside directors on the Company’s Board of Directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures.

29


Table of Contents

          Management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (2) may consider appointing outside directors and audit committee members in the future.
          Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of this material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected. The material weaknesses identified did not result in the restatement of any previously reported consolidated financial statements or any other consolidated financial statement disclosure for the past year.
          This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting.
          Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
          There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the Evaluation Date.
MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
          Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART III
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
     (1) Officers & Directors
     The following sets forth the names and ages of our executive officers and directors. Directors are typically elected at annual meetings of stockholders, and serve for the term for which they are elected and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. The Company, however, has not held an annual meeting for the election of its directors. Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the board’s discretion.
             
Name   Age   Position   Term
David A. Collins
  64   President, CEO, Director   2009-2010
 
           
Robert C. Goodwin
  53   CFO/Director   2009-2010
          David A. Collins is a founder of the Company and it predecessors, and previously served as its President, CEO and Director from inception in 1993 until July 11, 2001. From July 2001 until May 2002, Mr. Collins served as a consultant to the Company, particularly in the areas of sales and marketing. In May 2002, Mr. Collins was reappointed as President, CEO and Chairman upon the resignation of James R. Pledger.
          Robert C. Goodwin has served as the Company’s CFO since its inception in July 1998, as well as DAC Arkansas continuously since 1993. In July 1998, Mr. Goodwin was elected to the Company’s board.

(2) Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Act of 1934
          Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of the Company’s Common Stock (collectively, “Reporting Persons”) to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the Company’s Common Stock. Reporting Persons are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received or written representations from certain Reporting Persons that no other reports were required, the Company believes that during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, all Reporting Persons complied with all applicable filing requirements.
(3) Code of Ethics
          Effective March 30, 2007, our Company’s board of directors adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our Company’s officers, directors and employees. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Compliance Program were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as Exhibit 14.1 to our Form 10KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006, filed on April 2, 2007. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Compliance Program to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Robert C. Goodwin, CFO, DAC Technologies Group International, Inc., 12120 Colonel Glenn Road, Suite 6200 Little Rock, AR 72210.
(4) Committees of the Board
     Our board of directors is of the view that it is appropriate for us not to have a standing compensation or nominating committees because there are currently only two directors on our board of directors, who are in frequent communication with each other as to all matters that would ordinarily be handled by such committees. These directors have performed and will perform adequately the functions of nominating and compensation committees. There has not been any defined policy or procedure requirements for stockholders to submit recommendations or nomination for directors. Our board of directors does not believe that a defined policy with regard to the consideration of candidates recommended by stockholders is necessary at this time because we believe that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations are at a more advanced level. The process of identifying and evaluating nominees for directors is conducted by our board of directors. Based on the information gathered, our board of directors then makes a decision on whether to recommend the candidates as nominees for director. We do not pay any fee to any

third party or parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees.

          David A. Collins serves in the capacity of Chairman and CEO under a five (5) year Employment Agreement commencing December 1, 2005, and unless terminated according to its terms, is renewable for three additional five-year terms.

If cause is found, Mr. Collins will cease to receive compensation. Furthermore, Mr. Collins may terminate his agreement at any time upon 30 days advance written notice to the Company; should he elect to do so, the Company will discontinue payment of benefits, except that any stock options already granted will remain in force.

the Company for a period of twelve (12) months following the date of termination. Mr. Collins is compensated both with salary and commissions on all sales generated by the accounts/customers of Mr. Collins of between 3%-5%. This agreement was recently corrected to due to a scrivener’s error relating to the period of time that Mr. Collins’ estate would receive certain benefits in the event of his demise.
          In addition, for the years 2008 and 2009, David A. Collins leased a portion of his home in Miami, Florida to the Company, which serves as the Company’s executive office. The Company pays a monthly office allowance to Mr. Collins of $5,500, for approximately 1200 square feet and secretarial support. There is no lease agreement for these premises. This office arrangement was not the product of arm-length negotiations; however, the Company has determined the arrangement to be competitive with comparable office space and secretarial support.
          All other officers and employees serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors, and do not have employment contracts.
ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
          The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of March 17, 2010 by (a) each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of five (5) percent or more of the outstanding common stock and (b) all executive officers and directors both individually and as a group.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
          At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has a non-interest bearing note receivable of $216,377 and $170,382, respectively, from David A. Collins, Chairman and CEO. This note is due December 31, 2010. This note was not negotiated in an arms-length transaction, and the Company has not undertaken any independent evaluation to determine the fairness of the transaction.
          At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has a non-interest bearing note receivable of $72,518 and $72,518, respectively, from DAC Investment and Consulting, Inc., a company wholly-owned by David A. Collins, our Chairman and CEO. This note is due December 31, 2010. This note was not negotiated in an arms-length transaction, and the Company has not undertaken any independent evaluation to determine the fairness of the transaction.

Table of Contents

          David A. Collins, Chairman and CEO, has personally guaranteed loans obtained by the Company from a local bank. The total of these loans at December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $52,454 and $104,609, respectively. The notes are due on various dates in 2010. The Company intends to refinance the loans when they mature; in the event they cannot be refinanced the Company believes it will have adequate resources to pay off the loans. Mr. Collins has also personally guaranteed repayment of funds borrowed by the Company under its factoring agreement. The amounts borrowed under this factoring agreement at December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $1,053,648 and $3,182,000, respectively. In addition, Mr. Collins has also personally guaranteed repayment of any funds the Company may borrow on its $1,000,000 line of credit with a local bank. As of December 31, 2009 there is no outstanding balance on this line of credit. Although the Company has not undertaken any independent evaluation to determine the fairness of the transaction, management believes that the terms of this transaction are at least as favorable as the terms the Company could have obtained from an unaffiliated third party.
          For the years 2009 and 2008, our Chief Executive Officer, David Collins, leased a portion of his home in Miami, Florida to the Company, which serves as the Company’s executive office. The Company pays a monthly office allowance to Mr. Collins, the Company’s President of $5,500, for approximately 1200 square feet and secretarial support. There is no lease agreement for these premises.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
DAC Technologies Group International, Inc.
Little Rock, Arkansas
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of DAC Technologies Group International, Inc. as of December 31, 2009, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of DAC Technologies Group International, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 were audited by FROST, PLLC who was merged into FRAZER FROST, LLP, and whose report dated March 30, 2009, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
     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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of DAC Technologies Group International, Inc. as of December 31, 2009, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and Stockholders
DAC Technologies Group International, Inc.
Little Rock, Arkansas
     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of DAC Technologies Group International, Inc. as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
     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 consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of DAC Technologies Group International, Inc. as of December 31, 2008, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008
1.   Organization and Nature of Business
     DAC Technologies Group International, Inc. (“DAC”) develops, manufactures and markets various patented and unpatented consumer products that are designed primarily for hunters, gun owners and outdoor enthusiasts. The majority of DAC products are manufactured and imported from mainland China and are shipped to DAC’s central warehouse facility in Little Rock, Arkansas. These products, along with other items manufactured in the United States, are sold primarily to major retail chains throughout the United States.
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
  a.   Principles of consolidation — The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DAC Technologies Group International, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Summit Training International (collectively, the “Company”). All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
 
  b.   Revenue recognition — The Company recognizes sales revenue when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, which is an invoice, risk of loss has been transferred which is generally F.O.B shipping point, the Company’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
 
  c.   Cash equivalents — The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company held no cash equivalents at December 31, 2009 or 2008.
 
  d.   Accounts and notes receivable — The majority of the Company’s receivables are factored pursuant to a factoring agreement as described in Note 6. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, approximately 53% and 91%, respectively, of the Company’s accounts receivable, gross of the balance due to factor, was covered by this agreement. For receivables which are not covered under this agreement, the Company evaluates customer accounts on a periodic basis and records an allowance for amounts estimated to be uncollectible. Past due status is determined based upon contractual terms. Amounts that are determined to be uncollectible are written off against this allowance when collection attempts on the accounts have been exhausted. Management uses significant judgment in estimating uncollectible accounts. In estimating uncollectible amounts, management considers factors such as current overall economic conditions, industry-specific economic conditions, historical customer performance and anticipated customer performance. While management believes the Company’s processes effectively address its exposure to doubtful accounts, changes in economic, industry or specific customer conditions may require adjustment to the allowance recorded by the Company.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
  e.   Inventories — Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted-average cost or market. Costs include freight and applicable customs fees. Market is determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. Inventories are shown net of a valuation reserve of $11,211 and $61,011 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company receives inventory from overseas at terms of F.O.B. shipping point, bearing the risk of loss at that point in time. During the time period prior to receipt in the warehouse, inventory is classified and recorded as inventory in transit. Inventory held in the warehouse is classified as finished goods.
 
  f.   Property and equipment — Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:
     
Leasehold improvements
  8 years
Furniture and fixtures
  10 years
Molds, dies and artwork
  10 years
      Depreciation expense of $51,009 and $50,019 was recognized during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Major additions and improvements of existing facilities are capitalized. For retirements or sales of property, the Company removes the original cost and the related accumulated depreciation from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in other income (expense), net, in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
 
  g.   Patents and trademarks — Costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of patents and trademarks are capitalized and amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from five to seventeen years.
 
  h.   Income taxes — The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. The liability method requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities as of the year end date at the presently enacted tax rates. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is expected to be realized.
 
  i.   Shipping and handling — All shipping and handling costs are included in selling expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. These costs totaled $342,977 and $353,019 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
  j.   Earnings per share — Basic earnings per share has been calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for each year. The dilutive effect of potential common shares outstanding is included in diluted earnings per share.

     The computations of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are as follows:
                 
    2009     2008  
Net income
  $ 553,555     $ 356,694

Basic
  $ 0.10     $ 0.06  
 
           
Diluted
  $ 0.10     $ 0.06  
 
           
  k.   Estimates — The preparation of consolidated 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 and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  l.   Fair value of financial instruments — The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables and notes payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of notes receivable, which is based on discounted cash flows using current interest rates, approximates the carrying value at December 31, 2009 and 2008.
 
  m.   Impairment of long-lived assets — The Company reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets for impairment whenever triggering events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of any asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. No triggering events were identified by management for the years ended December 31, 2009 or 2008.
 
  n.   Impairment of patents and trademarks — The Company reviews the carrying value of intangible assets that have finite lives for impairment whenever triggering events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of any asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of the assets. No triggering events were identified by management for the years ended December 31, 2009 or 2008.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
  o.   New accounting pronouncements — The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). ASC is the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles. The adoption of ASC did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements included herein.
     In August 2009, the FASB issued ASC Update 2009-05, an update to ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” This update provides amendments to reduce potential ambiguity in financial reporting when measuring the fair value of liabilities. Among other provisions, this update provides clarification that, in circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the valuation techniques described in ASC Update 2009-05. ASC Update 2009-05 will become effective for the Company’s interim and annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company has not determined the impact this update may have on the consolidated financial statements.
     ASC 855, “Subsequent Events,” establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before financial statements are issued. The effective date of ASC 855 is interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. This statement does not apply to subsequent events or transactions that are within the scope of other applicable generally accepted accounting principles that provide different guidance on the accounting treatment for subsequent events or transactions. ASC 855 introduces the concept of financial statements being available to be issued. It requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, whether that represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. ASC 855 should alert all users of financial statements that an entity has not evaluated subsequent events after that date in the set of financial statements being presented. This statement did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2009.
3.   Variable Interest Entities
     ASC 810, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” requires that if an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the enterprise. The Company holds a note receivable, which is a variable interest, from DAC Investment and Consulting, Inc. (“DAC Investment”) of $72,518. Since 2001, DAC Investment has provided consulting and sales services to the Company. For purposes of ASC 810, management determined that DAC Investment is a variable interest entity; however, the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The balance of the note receivable represents the Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with DAC Investment.

6.   Due From Factor
     The Company factors a majority of its receivables without recourse under a credit risk factoring agreement, which is renewable annually. This agreement provides for factoring fees of .65% on the gross face amount of invoice, depending on the creditworthiness and location of an account (domestic or foreign). An additional fee of .25% is charged for each 30-day period, or part thereof, when the terms of sale exceed 90 days. Fees are calculated on the gross face value of each invoice. Additionally, this agreement provides for advances of funds on the factored receivable. Interest is charged at a greater of 4% or prime, which was 3.25% at December 31, 2009, on the outstanding funds in use. The amounts borrowed are collateralized by the outstanding accounts receivable, and are reflected as a reduction to accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
     These amounts are as follows:
                 
    2009     2008  
Accounts receivable factored

     The Company adopted ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” effective January 1, 2007. ASC 740-10 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the consolidated financial statements. ASC 740-10 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company had no significant unrecognized tax benefits at the date of adoption or at December 31, 2009. Accordingly, the Company does not have any interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. However, if interest or penalties were to be incurred related to uncertain tax positions, such amounts would be recognized in income tax expense. Tax periods for all years after 2005 remain open to examination by the federal and state taxing jurisdictions to which it is subject.
12.   Related Party Transactions
     During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company made periodic advances to certain employees of the Company. At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the outstanding balances of advances to these individuals were $29,658 and $28,617, respectively.

     At December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company held a note receivable of $72,518 due from a related party entity, which is owned by the individual discussed above, which is due on December 31, 2010. This note is unsecured and noninterest bearing. The note receivable has been classified as noncurrent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because repayment is not anticipated during the next year.

14.   Major Customers and Suppliers
     During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized aggregate sales to two customers in the amount of approximately $8,030,000 and $2,308,000, which represented 55.3% and 15.9% of total net sales, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company recognized aggregate sales to two customers in the amount of approximately $12,135,000 and $1,736,000, which represented 71.2% and 10.2% of total net sales, respectively. Accounts receivable related to the sales were factored without recourse (Note 6).
     During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company purchased 99.9% of its products from one major supplier. The Company is dependent upon this supplier continuing in business and its ability to ship to the United States, but believes it could replace this supplier, if required to, at similar quality and terms.
15.   Concentrations of Credit Risk
     Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable with a variety of customers. As discussed in Note 6, the Company factors a majority of its receivables under a factoring agreement. These accounts are factored on a nonrecourse basis which reduces the Company’s exposure to credit risk. Approximately 53% and 91% of the Company’s accounts receivable at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, were factored. The Company also provides credit in the normal course of business to certain of its customers and performs ongoing credit evaluations of these customers. It maintains allowances for doubtful accounts and provisions for returns and credits based on factors surrounding the specific customers and circumstances. The Company generally does not require collateral from its customers. Credit risk is considered by management to be limited due to the Company’s customer base and its customer’s financial resources.
     At December 31, 2009 and 2008 and at various times throughout these years, the Company maintained cash balances with financial institutions in excess of the federally insured limit.
16.   Financial Information by Business Segment

These segments are gun cleaning and maintenance, hunting and camping, household, gun safety and other products. The accounting policies of the Company’s segments are the same as those described in Note 2. The Company’s long-lived assets are located in the United States and China.
