FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements made by us in this report and in other reports and statements released by us that are not historical facts constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of management and express our opinions about trends and factors which may impact future operating results. You can identify these and other forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “intends,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms, or other comparable terminology. Such statements rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events, many of which are outside of our control, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from opinions and expectations. Any such forward-looking statements, whether made in this report or elsewhere, should be considered in context with the various disclosures made by us about our businesses including, without limitation, the risk factors discussed below. Although we believe our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, judgments, and estimates, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies, and other factors that could cause our or our industry's actual results, level of activity, performance or achievement to differ materially from those discussed in or implied by any forward-looking statements made by or on the Company and could cause our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows to be materially adversely affected. Except as required under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), we do not have any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, or otherwise.

RESTATEMENT OF CERTAIN PRIOR PERIOD INFORMATION

Certain restated information is included herein for the first three calendar quarterly periods and year ended December 31, 2008, as well as the first three calendar quarterly periods in the 2009 year, to: (a) record the accounting aspects of a related party transaction between two directors for the four quarters and year ended December 31, 2008 and the first three quarters of 2009; and (b) disclose a technical default at December 31, 2008 on our credit facility that was not cured effectively until December 31, 2009.

PART I

As used in this report, “Lapolla” and the “Company” or “Us” or “We” refer to Lapolla Industries, Inc., unless the context otherwise requires. Our Internet website address is www.lapollaindustries.com. We make our periodic and current reports, together with amendments to these reports, available on our website, free of charge, as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 1.  Business.
 
General Overview

Lapolla is a leading national manufacturer and distributor of foam, coatings, and equipment, focused on developing and commercializing foam and coatings targeted at commercial and industrial and residential applications in the insulation and construction industries. Being back integrated in both foam and coating systems puts Lapolla in a strong competitive position as both product lines reduce energy consumption and ultimately lead to direct savings for consumers. Our products address growing consumer awareness of the building envelope. The building envelope is the separation between the interior and the exterior environments of a building and serves as the outer shell to protect the indoor environment as well as to facilitate its climate control. We provide superior insulation, an air barrier, and a vapor barrier with our products. We have invested substantial resources to acquire, develop and commercialize a variety of foam and coatings products and related sales and marketing programs to date.

During 2009, we further expanded our growing brand recognition and grew our market share. Lapolla established its first international branch, opening a Canadian headquarters in Toronto, Ontario. In April 2009, we received Canadian Product Approval, CCMC, approval which allows us market access with our Foam-LOK™ spray polyurethane foam insulation systems throughout Canada. In late April 2009, we also received ICC-ES approval for our half pound open celled spray foam insulation for use in wall cavities, floor and ceiling assemblies, as well as attic and crawl space applications, further building our product pipeline and expanding our market share.

In June 2009, we were pleased to accept an offer to contribute our spray foam insulation for the Emmy Award Winning ABC television show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition for Season 7 and be their preferred spray foam insulation supplier and a part of this great, combined effort to improve deserving peoples’ living situations. We contributed to 5 home makeovers since entering into the relationship and look forward to continued participation with the show. The ABC Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Lapolla partnership is indicative of the growing awareness and need for a healthy living environment, better air quality, reduced air infiltration, and combating rising energy costs, thus further solidifying our position in the green building materials market.

To further increase mainstream awareness of our green building insulation technology, we have committed ourselves to increasing our marketing, advertising and overall communication efforts through a variety of mediums. We have arranged for Lapolla™ and Airtight™ commercials to air on over 55 networks across the country, totaling over 22,000 airtime minutes to create sales pull through and increase our independent contractor/installer network.  The Airtight™ program provides a turn-key approach to helping ensure the start-up success of independent spray foam insulation installers. We are expecting a greater market impact in our foam insulation for construction and retrofitting markets as a result of this effort.

Operating Segments

We operate our business on the basis of two reportable segments — Foam and Coatings.  The Foam segment involves producing building envelope insulation foam for interior application and roofing systems. The Coatings segment involves producing protective elastomeric coatings and primers. Both segments involve supplying equipment and related ancillary items used for application of our products.  The following table sets forth, for the years indicated, sales for our Foam and Coatings segments:

   
2009
   
2008
 
Foam
  $ 43,080,741     $ 37,746,620  
Coatings
  $ 6,945,729     $ 10,394,562  

Foam

Our foam business involves supplying spray foam insulation and roofing foam to the construction industry. Spray foam insulation applications consist of perimeter wall, crawl space, and attic space commercial and industrial, and residential, applications. Roofing applications consist of new and retrofit commercial and industrial, and residential, applications. The start up of our own Foam Resin Plant in 2007 enabled Lapolla to benefit from the economics of manufacturing spray polyurethane foam systems as we opened up new sales opportunities through previously unavailable channels (e.g. distribution). Lapolla provides open and closed cell spray foam insulation, as well as closed cell technology for roofing, applications.  We have attained certain third party credentials for our in-house manufactured spray foam systems, which is leading to greater acceptance of our proprietary foam products in our target markets. This segment also supplies adhesives and equipment for applications. We use our own distribution facilities, as well as public warehousing in certain local markets nationally to better serve our customers. Performance, availability, product credentials, approvals, technical and customer service, and pricing are major competitive factors in the spray foam business.

Coatings

Our coatings business involves supplying a variety of protective coatings for roofing systems for new and retrofit commercial and industrial applications to the roofing industry. We use our own distribution facilities, as well as public warehousing in certain local markets nationally to better serve our customers. Product credentials, approvals and performance, pricing, technology, technical customer service, and availability are major competitive factors in our coatings business.

See Note 20, “Business Segment Information,” in the notes to the financial statements listed under Item 15 of Part IV of this report.

International Operations

Our international sales, consisting primarily of our Canadian operations, represented approximately 10% of our total product net sales for the year ended December 31, 2009. We opened our first Canadian office in Toronto, Ontario, in 2009, and a resident management team provides leadership and infrastructure for the customer-focused, rapid introduction of our products in the Canadian market. As a result of the rigorous testing and lengthy approval process related to introducing products in the Canadian market, we were only able to participate in the Canadian market for less than half of the 2009 calendar year.  There is an expectation for immediate significant growth in Canada based on full year revenues as well as anticipated growth of market share over the short and long term. We are also experiencing a resurgence of growth in our overseas international business. We expect 2010 to reflect this growth and revenue.

Sales and Marketing

We maintain a growing national and limited international sales and marketing focus. Sales are concentrated on distributors and contractors in the insulation and roofing industries. Lapolla utilizes direct sales, independent representatives, distributors, and public bonded warehouses strategically positioned on a state or regional basis to serve customers. Insulation foam and reflective roof coatings are aggressively growing through enhanced consumer awareness due to nationally promoted programs from federal, state, municipal and other government agencies, energy companies, and private organizations. Some of these programs include the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Cool Roof Rating Council, Energy Star and state and utility company funded rebates to energy conscious building owners for following very specific recommendations, using reflectivity and emmissivity as the general goal in reducing the environmental impact of the “heat island effect”. Lapolla places a high priority on sales trending to create preparedness and processes to better serve our customers. Information is gathered with input from sales, customers, management experience and historical sales trending to predict needed supply for stock and warehousing to meet the needs of our customers on a timely basis. Public warehousing, distribution and direct sales allow us to supply our customers in a timely and efficient fashion. The combined volumes of our products are disbursed throughout a broad customer base. This broad base assures lack of vulnerability to the loss of one key customer. Although sales plans include the addition of new and individually large volume customers, none today represent a significant adverse effect through such a loss.

Raw Materials

We place a high priority on forecasting material demand to meet customer demands in the most expedient and cost effective manner.  The primary materials being used to manufacture our foam and coatings products are polyols, catalysts, resins, and titanium dioxide. The suppliers of the necessary raw materials are industry leaders in both the specific chemistries and basic in the manufacturing of the raw materials for supply.  We maintain strong relationships and have commitments for continuing supply through times of shortage. A lengthy interruption of the supply of one of these materials could adversely affect our ability to manufacture and supply commercial product.  With our volume potential, Lapolla continues to be a potentially lucrative target for vendors to assure their own growth and demand in 2009 and beyond. Our foam resins and acrylic coatings are manufactured in our Houston, Texas facility. We maintain sufficient manufacturing capacity at this facility to support our current forecasted demand as well as a substantial safety margin of additional capacity to meet peaks of demand and sales growth in excess of our current expectations.

Patents and Trademarks

We rely on our own proprietary technologies in our foam and coatings segments for finished goods formulations.  Additionally, we also rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how that we seek to protect, in part, through confidentiality agreements with our partners, customers, employees and consultants. We market our products under various trademarks, for which we have registered and unregistered trademark protection in the United States. These trademarks are considered to be valuable because of their contribution to market identification of our products.

Competition

Competition is based on a combination of product credentials and approvals, price structure, technology, availability, warranty availability to building owners, and product performance. Lapolla is expanding through aggressive sales and marketing, competitive pricing, a strong sales force comprised of direct salespersons, independent representatives, and distributors, building owner and contractor brand awareness, and acquisitions (i.e. AirTight). Lapolla differentiates itself from competitors by offering personalized sales support and providing efficient response time on issues ranging from technical service to delivery of products. We are one of the largest suppliers of spray polyurethane foam for insulation and roofing foam nationally. The foam manufacturing industry consists of a few large and medium sized manufacturing companies with global, national and regional presence primarily relying on distributors to service markets. As a manufacturer of foam resins, we are able to access previously unavailable distribution channels and penetrate target markets through direct sales. We supply our products primarily to large, medium and small insulation, roofing, and general contractors. Within the coatings industry, as manufacturers specifically focused on energy efficient acrylic coatings for roofing and construction as their primary line, Lapolla is a major player in a very fragmented market. Product credentials and approvals differentiate product lines and suppliers that are more readily suited to broad use and industry acceptance. We are currently listed with certain credentials and approvals to assure minimal restrictions in markets and uses. Lapolla utilizes advertising campaigns, articles in industry periodicals, trade show exposure, public relations, printed case studies, internet and website exposure, mailers and direct sales, distribution, and marketing to obtain greater product line branding and recognition.

Employees

At December 31, 2009, we employed 59 full time individuals. None of our employees are represented by a union. We believe that our relations with our employees are generally very good.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations and believe that our operations comply in all material respects where we have a business presence. No significant expenditures are anticipated in order to comply with environmental laws and regulations that would have a material impact on our Company in 2009. We are not aware of any pending litigation or significant financial obligations arising from current or past environmental practices that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position. However, we cannot assure you that environmental problems relating to properties operated by us will not develop in the future, and we cannot predict whether any such problems, if they were to develop, could require significant expenditures on our part. In addition, we are unable to predict what legislation or regulations may be adopted or enacted in the future with respect to environmental protection and waste disposal.

Seasonality

Lapolla’s business, taken as a whole, is materially affected by seasonal factors. Specifically, sales of our products tend to be lowest during the first and fourth fiscal quarters, with sales during the second and third fiscal quarters being comparable and marginally higher. Although our foam resins and acrylic coatings are restricted by cold temperatures, we have developed certain formulations that allow for a broader range of application in colder temperatures. By broadening and diversifying our foam and coatings products to those that are less sensitive to temperature during application, we increase the likelihood of less seasonal downward sales trending during the winter months.  Inclement weather does impede sales, but it also produces a pent up demand that can be realized in the subsequent short term. The acquisition of AirTight and its associated equipment sales, position Lapolla for growth during inclement weather months while seeding the market for future foam sales.

Historical Information

We were incorporated in the state of Delaware on October 20, 1989 and underwent a variety of name changes and operations to date.  For our current operations, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Infiniti Paint Co., Inc., a Florida corporation, effective September 1, 2001, which was engaged in the business of developing, marketing, selling, and distributing acrylic roof coatings, roof paints, polyurethane foam systems, sealants, and roof adhesives in the Southeastern United States. On December 20, 2004, we changed our name from Urecoats Industries, Inc. to IFT Corporation to keep pace with the activities of our Infiniti subsidiary. During the latter part of 2004, our Infiniti Subsidiary built and began operating a manufacturing plant in the Southeastern United States. On February 11, 2005, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Lapolla Industries, Inc., an Arizona corporation, which was engaged in the business of manufacturing acrylic roof coatings and sealants, and distributing polyurethane foam systems in the Southwestern United States. On April 1, 2005, our Infiniti subsidiary merged with and into our Lapolla subsidiary whereas the existence of our Infiniti subsidiary ceased. On October 1, 2005, our Lapolla subsidiary merged with and into the Company, under its former name of IFT Corporation, whereas the existence of our Lapolla subsidiary ceased. On November 8, 2005, the Company changed its name to Lapolla Industries, Inc.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

As a leading national manufacturer and supplier of foam and coatings, we operate in a business environment that includes certain risks. The risks described in this section could adversely affect our sales, operating results and financial condition. Although the factors listed below are considered to be the most significant factors, they should not be considered a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles which may adversely affect our business.

·  Global Economic Conditions and Financial Crisis - The current stabilizing global economic crisis described below should also be considered when reviewing each of the subsequent paragraphs setting forth the various aspects of our business, operations, and products. The recent global economic and financial market crisis has caused, among other things, a general tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, and lower consumer and business spending. Although the ultimate outcome of these events cannot be predicted, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company and our ability to borrow money in the credit markets and potentially to draw on our revolving credit facility or otherwise obtain financing.  Similarly, current or potential customers and suppliers may no longer be in business, may be unable to fund purchases or determine to reduce purchases, all of which could lead to reduced demand for our products, reduced gross margins, and increased customer payment delays or defaults. Further, suppliers may not be able to supply us with needed raw materials on a timely basis, may increase prices or go out of business, which could result in our inability to meet customer demand in a timely manner or affect our gross margins. We are also limited in our ability to reduce costs to offset the results of a prolonged or severe economic downturn given certain fixed costs associated with our operations.

·  Cost and Availability of Raw Materials - Our operating results are significantly affected by the cost of raw materials. We may not be able to fully offset the impact of higher raw materials through price increases or productivity improvements. Certain raw materials are critical to our production processes, such as polyols, catalysts, and titanium dioxide. The Company has supply arrangements to meet the planned operating requirements for the future. However, an inability to obtain these critical raw materials at any future date would adversely impact our ability to produce products.

·  Retention of Key Personnel - Our success depends upon our retention of key managerial, technical, selling and marketing personnel. The loss of the services of key personnel might significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our development and strategic objectives.  We must continue to attract, train and retain managerial, technical, selling and marketing personnel. Competition for such highly skilled employees in our industry is high, and we cannot be certain that we will be successful in recruiting or retaining such personnel. We also believe that our success depends to a significant extent on the ability of our key personnel to operate effectively, both individually and as a group. If we are unable to identify, hire and integrate new employees in a timely and cost-effective manner, our operating results may suffer.

·  Acquisitions - As part of our business strategy, we regularly consider and, as appropriate, make acquisitions of technologies, products and businesses that we believe are complementary to our business. Our primary acquisition criterion is sales volume in our core foam and coatings competencies. Acquisitions may involve risks and could result in difficulties in integrating the operations, personnel, technologies and products of the companies acquired, some of which may result in significant charges to earnings. If we are unable to successfully integrate our acquisitions with our existing businesses, we may not obtain the advantages that the acquisitions were intended to create, which may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, our ability to develop and introduce new products and the market price of our stock. In connection with acquisitions, we could experience disruption in our business or employee base, or key employees of companies that we acquire may seek employment elsewhere, including with our competitors. Furthermore, the products of companies we acquire may overlap with our products or those of our customers, creating conflicts with existing relationships or with other commitments that are detrimental to the integrated businesses.

·  SEC Reviews - The reports of publicly-traded companies are subject to review by the SEC from time to time for the purpose of assisting companies in complying with applicable disclosure requirements and to enhance the overall effectiveness of companies’ public filings, and comprehensive reviews of such reports are now required at least every three years under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. SEC reviews may be initiated at any time. While we believe that our previously filed SEC reports comply, and we intend that all future reports will comply in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC, we could be required to modify or reformulate information contained in prior filings as a result of an SEC review. Any modification or reformulation of information contained in such reports could be significant and could result in material liability to us and have a material adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock.

Sales increased $1,885,288, or 3.9%, from 2008 to 2009, as compared to an increase of $16,300,383, or 51.2%, from 2007 to 2008. Foam sales increased $5,334,121, or 14.1% over 2008, while coatings sales declined $3,448,833 or 33.2% due to a general slowdown specifically in the roofing construction business from the tightened credit markets and recession. Management expects coatings sales to pick up in 2010 due to pent up demand from 2009. The increase in Foam sales continues to be attributed to cost conscious residential and commercial building owners transitioning from traditional fiberglass insulation to energy efficient SPF. Our acquisition of AirTight, a turn key, equipment, startup, and training company, provided additional market penetration while converting additional existing insulators to foam, resulting in approximately $8.5 Million in sales in 2009 compared to $4.6 Million in sales in 2008 (we acquired the AirTight Assets on July 1, 2008). Highly volatile energy prices throughout 2008 and 2009 heightened the public’s interest for green building materials and sustainable energy solutions. Pricing changes reduced approximately $122,316 in sales, while sales volumes increased approximately $2,007,604, for 2009. Pricing changes added approximately $952,000 in sales, while sales volumes increased approximately $15,348,383, for 2008.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales decreased $1,449,692, or 3.7%, due primarily to a 33.2% decrease in coatings sales, partially offset by a 14.1% increase in foam sales, from 2008 to 2009. We had a 11.4 decrease in freight costs during 2009, along with a 2.7% decrease in material costs. Cost of sales increased $12,117,932, or 45%, due primarily to an 82% increase in foam sales, partially offset by a 6% decrease in coatings sales, from 2007 to 2008. We had a 109% increase in freight costs during 2008, which was offset by a 4.9% decrease in material costs.  Freight costs escalated in the second and third quarters of 2008 as surging oil prices justified higher trip rates as well as increased fuel surcharges during that time frame.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit increased $3,334,978, or 36.8% from 2008 to 2009, due to our sales growth and reduced material costs, as compared to, an increase of $4,182,451 or 86% from 2007 to 2008, due to our substantial sales growth offset by increased material costs, specifically in our Foam segment.  Gross margin percentage increased 5.8% from 2008 to 2009 due to reductions in material costs and increased manufacturing efficiencies particularly in our Foam segment, as compared to 3.7% from 2007 to 2008 due to a full year of plant utilization manufacturing in-house foam resins, offset by higher material costs.

Operating Expenses

Our total operating expenses are comprised of selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, professional fees, depreciation, amortization of other intangible assets, consulting fees, interest expense, interest expense – related party, interest expense – amortization of discount, gain or loss on extinguishment of debt, gain or loss on derivative liability, and other income or expense. These total operating expenses increased $2,144,590, or 16.4% from 2008 to 2009, due to increases of $932,902 for SG&A, $80,314 for depreciation, $125,130 for amortization of other intangible assets, $115,713 for consulting fees, $393,226 for interest expense, $178,403 for interest expense – related party, and $419,519 for interest expense – amortization of discount, offset by a decrease of $235,438 for professional fees and an increase of $28,584 in other income and a gain of $318,425 on derivative liability. There was no gain on extinguishment of debt in 2009. Our total operating expenses increased $2,654,153, or 27%, from 2007 to 2008, due to increases of $2,390,054 for SG&A, $11,633 for depreciation, $146,411 for amortization of other intangible assets, $177,439 for interest expense, $47,015 for interest expense - related party, and $397,922 for interest expense - amortization of discount, and a decrease of $109,592 of other income, offset by decreases of $39,312 in professional fees, and $106,334 in consulting fees, and a gain of $481,833 on debt extinguishment.

SG&A increased $932,902, or 8.2%, from 2008 to 2009 due to increases of $868,736 for payroll and benefits, $69,436 for insurances, $163,632 for travel and related services, $538,103 for marketing, promotions and trade shows, $203,071 for rents, $264,885 for bad debts, and $327,790 for corporate office expenses, offset by decreases of $265,033 for commissions, $143,014 for advertising, $78,949 for recruiting fees, $841,784 for share based compensation expense, and $173,971 for investor relations. The increase in bad debts in 2009 includes some customer bankruptcies and defaults primarily from the first half of 2009 due to the tightening of the credit markets and recession. The increase in marketing, promotions and trade shows was due to a broader based marketing program related to AirTight.  Corporate office expenses increased primarily due to an increase in bank and credit card fees. Payroll and benefits increased due to a full year of AirTight personnel (we acquired AirTight on July 1, 2008) and primarily hiring additional sales personnel. The increase in rents is due in part to our expansion into the Canadian market as well as additional distribution channels throughout the United States to better serve our customers. SG&A increased $2,390,054, or 28%, from 2007 to 2008 due to increases in payroll and benefits of $723,237, bad debt expenses of $664,527, commissions of $641,001, advertising of $207,319, rents of $203,392, travel and related of $114,316, insurances of $102,658, investor relations of $80,206, and corporate office expenses of $48,072, which were partially offset by declines in share based compensation of $287,773 and marketing and promotions of $106,902. The increase in bad debts in 2008 includes some customer bankruptcies and defaults primarily due to the downturn of the economy.

Professional fees decreased $235,438 from 2008 to 2009 due to a continuation of cost reduction efforts initiated in 2008 and reductions in legal fees, compared to a decrease of $39,312 from 2007 to 2008 as cost cutting measures on any non-volume related expenses were implemented.

Depreciation expense increased $80,314, or 39% from 2008 to 2009, compared to an increase of $158,044, or 83% from 2007 to 2008, primarily due to an increase in depreciable assets acquired in connection with the AirTight asset acquisition.

Amortization of other intangible assets expense increased $125,130, or 85%, from 2008 to 2009, compared to an increase of $123,333, or 534% from 2007 to 2008, due primarily to an increase in amortizable assets acquired in connection with the AirTight asset acquisition.

Consulting fees increased $115,713, or 172%, from 2008 to 2009, due to retaining outside professionals for advisory services, information technology services, and other required outside professional services, compared to a decrease of $106,334, or 61%, from 2007 to 2008, due to cost cutting measures.

Interest expense increased $393,226, or 50%, from 2008 to 2009, compared to an increase of $177,439, or 29%, from 2007 to 2008, due primarily to an increase in the interest from the capital utilized from our ComVest credit instruments.

Interest expense – related party increased $178,403, or 259%, from 2008 to 2009, compared to an increase of $47,015, or 215%, from 2007 to 2008, due to an increase in the capital utilized from our Chairman of the Board.

Interest expense – amortization of discount increased $419,519, or 85%, from 2008 to 2009, compared to an increase of $397,922, or 420%, from 2007 to 2008, due to the discount associated with our ComVest credit instruments.

We did not have any extinguishment of debt during 2009.  A substantial modification was made to our ComVest credit instruments, which resulted in an extinguishment of debt gain of $481,833 in 2008.

We had a gain on our derivative liability of $318,425 embedded in our ComVest convertible term note during 2009.  We did not have any derivate liability in 2008.

Other income increased $28,584, or 51.6%, from 2008 to 2009, due to an increase in royalties, compared to a decrease of $109,592, or 66%, from 2007 to 2008, due to a decrease in royalties, from the sale of our retail distribution channel in 2007.

Net Loss

Net loss decreased $1,190,390, or 29.7%, from 2008 to 2009, due to sales volume and gross margin percentage increases in our Foam segment, a gain on our derivative liability, and an increase in our other income, offset by a sales volume and gross margin percentage decreases in our Coatings segment and increase in our total operating expenses due to growth of the Company.  Net loss per share decreased $0.02, or 34%, from 2008 to 2009. Net loss decreased $1,048,298, or 21%, from 2007 to 2008, due to a sales volume increase in our Foam segment, gross margin percentage increases in both of our segments, a gain on our extinguishment of debt, offset by a sales volume decrease in our Coatings segment and increase in our total operating expenses due to growth of the Company.  Net loss per share decreased $0.03, or 27%, from 2007 to 2008. Net loss available to common stockholders and related loss per share decreased $1,190,965, or 24.6%, and $0.02, or 29%, from 2008 to 2009, respectively, compared to a decrease in net loss available to common stockholders and related loss per share of $1,048,298, or 18%, and $0.03, or 27%, from 2007 to 2008.

Foam sales increased $5,334,121, or 14.1%, from 2008 to 2009, compared to an increase of $16,993,568, or 82%, from 2007 to 2008, due to energy conscious building owners and consumers continuing to seek relief from highly volatile oil prices, as spray polyurethane foam (SPF) continues to gain market share from traditional insulation systems such as fiberglass. Our AirTight asset purchase furthered our market penetration into the Foam segment through AirTight’s training, startup and rig building operations.  By providing new market entrants as well as existing insulation companies with the equipment and training to successfully market SPF, revenue growth from equipment has escalated and the ongoing sales of Lapolla foam has followed. Foam segment equipment sales were $2,046,688 in 2009 compared to $1,819,994 in 2008 and $622,477 in 2007. Foam cost of sales increased $917,533, or 3%, from 2008 to 2009, due to a substantial increase in sales volumes, offset by reductions in raw material costs, resulting in an increased gross profit and gross margin percentage, compared to an increase of $12,820,509, or 70%, from 2007 to 2008, due to substantial volume increases, but at the same time gross profit margin dollars and percentages increased, from the economies of scale and full year production of in-house manufactured resins, offset by rising raw material costs during the latter part of 2008. Our Foam segment realized a profit of $1,242,543 in 2009, compared to a loss of $127,045 in 2008 and $1,956,928 in 2007, as targeted market share gains were achieved.

Coatings sales decreased $3,448,833, or 33%, from 2008 to 2009, due to the general slowdown in the roofing construction business from the tightened credit markets and recession, although sales are expected to pick up significantly in 2010 from pent up demand in 2009, compared to a decrease of $693,185, or 6%, from 2007 to 2008, due to the 2007 divestiture of our retail coatings business. Coatings segment equipment sales were $203,049 in 2009 compared to $323,350 in 2008 and $188,363 in 2007. Coatings cost of sales decreased $2,367,225, or 30%, from 2008 to 2009, due to lower sales volumes, compared to a decrease of $702,577, or 8%, from 2007 to 2008, but gross margin dollars increased $9,931 as our margin percentage increased from 22% to 24% on a more strategic product line. Coating segment profit decreased $827,016, or 121%, due to lower sales volumes, compared to an increase of $549,425, or 410%, from 2007 to 2008, from the increased margin percentage associated with our strategic product line.

Outlook for 2010

The Company’s outlook is very aggressive, as we expect sales to continue to grow to record levels in 2010. Our optimism is based on our market share gains in the construction insulation markets which are driven by growing consumer awareness about energy efficient foams and coatings. Margin increases as a result of vertical integration, sales growth, potential acquisitions, in conjunction with tighter controls on spending are expected to enable Lapolla to achieve profitability in 2010. The markets for our products are highly competitive; however, we believe that our competitive advantages are rooted in our product formulations, product credentials, approvals and performance, price structures, and technical customer service. In addition, we offer the flexibility, quality of products and responsiveness that a smaller company can offer.  This outlook is based on a number of assumptions relating to our business and operations which are subject to change, some of which are outside our control. A variation in our assumptions may result in a change in this outlook.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash on hand at December 31, 2009 was $400,821, reflecting an increase of $357,976 when compared to the $42,485 of cash on hand at December 31, 2008. Cash on hand at December 31, 2008 was $42,845 reflecting a decrease of $297,010 when compared to the $339,855 of cash on hand at December 31, 2007. Cash flow has improved substantially from 2008 to 2009 due to the increased margin associated with our increased sales volumes. From 2007 to 2008, cash flow was negatively impacted by substantial sales growth and the associated increases in accounts receivable and inventory and we relied not only upon our Revolving Credit Note and Convertible Term Loan with ComVest, but also our Chairman and majority stockholder, for financial support. We believe we are past the breakeven point relative to our current sales and expense levels from the second half of 2009 and relying less on our ComVest Credit Facility and Chairman’s financial commitments.

The Company has stockholders equity of $3,763,219 at December 31, 2009. However, there are concerns about the liquidity of the Company at December 31, 2009 based on a working capital deficit of $4,780,743 due primarily to the maturing of the ComVest Credit Facility which matures on August 31, 2010. The outstanding Credit Facility consists of the Convertible Term Note with an outstanding balance of $2.5 Million and Revolving Credit Note with an outstanding balance of $8.37 Million. Management approached ComVest in early March 2010 and they expressed their intent to extend the Convertible Term Note until 2012. Additionally, our Chairman, who has supported the Company for over 11 years and invested approximately $54 Million to date, has provided Management with a financial commitment for up to $11 Million for the 2010 year, if necessary. Since 2004, Lapolla’s revenues have increased from approximately $2.4 Million with a gross margin of 15.8% to $50 Million with a gross margin of 24.8% in 2009. As a result, Management believes that the cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and the 2010 financial commitment from the Chairman, will be sufficient to fund operations through fiscal 2010. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek to raise additional capital through private placements of debt, or common or preferred stock with accredited sophisticated investors, to fund our aggressive strategic growth plans and pay off our maturing Credit Facility. We have budgeted up to $150,000 for capital expenditures for 2009.  If the Company chooses to raise additional capital other than from ComVest, anti-dilution provisions under the Convertible Term Note and Warrants may be triggered if any security sold is convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock based on the price, including conversion price, of the common stock sold, and a 25% of the qualified proceeds raised repayment requirement up to the amount due under the Convertible Term Note will be triggered. The ComVest limitations may adversely impact our ability to raise additional capital.

Net cash used in our operations was $2,688,144 in 2009, reflecting a decrease of $4,689,326 when compared to the $7,377,470 in 2008. The cash used in operations for 2009 as compared to 2008 was primarily attributable to our net loss for the year, including the effect of adjustments to reconcile net loss to cash provided by or used in operating activities and adjusting for non-cash items, augmented by decreases in trade receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, inventories, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and deposits and other non-current liabilities. In 2008, the Company borrowed $5,076,600 under the ComVest Credit Facility and repaid $400,000 under the Convertible Term Note. In 2009, the Company did not borrow any additional funds from the Credit Facility and repaid $500,000 under the Convertible Term Note. From 2008 to the first half of 2009, the Company borrowed $7.9 Million for working capital purposes and repaid $1 Million from the Chairman. During the second half of 2009, the Company borrowed $200,000 for working capital from the Chairman and paid $500,000 to him for his accrued interest and a small portion of his preferred dividends. These funds were used to fund Lapolla’s broader based operations, including the AirTight asset acquisition, resulting in increased SG&A costs, pay down our accounts payable, which decreased $1,200,182 in 2009, and meet our principle repayment obligations under our ComVest Convertible Term Note. Our inventories, trade receivables, net, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities decreased slightly from 2008 to 2009 primarily due to the general slowdown of the economy from 2008 to the first half of 2009. Net cash used in our operations was $7,377,470 in 2008, reflecting an increase of $1,909,327 when compared to the $5,468,143 in 2007. The cash used in operations for 2008 as compared to 2007 was primarily attributable to our net loss for the year, including the effect of adjustments to reconcile net loss to cash provided by or used in operating activities and adjusting for non-cash items, augmented by increases in trade receivables and inventories, partially offset by increases in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, and other liabilities. From the second half of 2007 to early 2008, Lapolla transformed from a distributor of spray polyurethane foam (SPF) to a manufacturer of SPF.  This transition brought growth in sales along with growth in our balance sheet. Trade receivables, net, grew $5,152,525 during 2008 mainly due to a 51% increase in sales but also due to economic conditions and customers taking longer to pay.  Inventories increased $2,066,840 from 2007 to 2008 due to our move to manufacturing SPF and the need for raw materials on hand to produce our SPF as needed.  Accounts payable increased $4,404,434 as more raw material suppliers are needed and the increase in sales requires an increase in raw materials, as well as from our acquisition of certain liabilities with our AirTight Asset Purchase. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities increased $1,069,525 mainly due to increases in our insurance premium notes payable, commissions payable, accrued inventory, accrued related party interest from short term loans received from the Chairman from 2007 throughout 2008, and accrued dividends, partially offset by decreases from paying down our sales taxes payable.

____________________________________
The information provided in the table above relates to credit instruments, vehicle notes, purchase obligations, and facility leases.

We currently have two material debt covenants: (i) the Company is not allowed to make capital expenditures in excess of $500,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, respectively, and (ii) the Company is not allowed to exceed a borrowing base calculation defined as an amount determined by a detailed calculation equal to 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 50% of eligible inventory (“Borrowing Base”). We were not in compliance with our Borrowing Base calculation as of December 31, 2009. The calculation determined our maximum allowed outstanding as of December 31, 2009 was $8,366,831 and after subtracting the balance outstanding of $8,530,191 under our Revolving Credit Note, we exceeded the Borrowing Base by $163,360.  In order to cure this default, ComVest agreed to permit us to increase the Convertible Term Note on January 1, 2010 by the $163,360, which brought us back into compliance with our Revolving Credit Note. We were not in compliance with our Borrowing Base calculation as of December 31, 2008. The calculation determined our maximum allowed outstanding as of December 31, 2008 was $7,815,531 and after subtracting the balance outstanding of $8,537,821 under our Revolving Credit Note, we exceeded the Borrowing Base by $722,290. The Company is required to submit its Borrowing Base calculation to ComVest monthly. If, at any time, the Company’s Borrowing Base calculation is less than the amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Note, and that amount remains unpaid or is not increased from future Borrowing Base calculations to an amount equal to the balance outstanding under the Revolving Credit Note at any given time, ComVest, in its discretion, may accelerate any and all amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility. Based on the fact that the Company was not in compliance with its Borrowing Base calculation at December 31, 2008 and this default was cured on December 31, 2009, despite the fact that ComVest did not call the debt due, the Company restated its balance sheet for December 31, 2008 to reclassify the Revolving Credit Note as short term instead of long term. See financial statements listed under Item 15 of Part IV of this report.

Net cash used in investing activities was $326,353 in 2009, reflecting an increase of $67,561 when compared to $258,792 in 2008. We invested $236,268 in new property, plant and equipment in 2009 compared to $158,792 in 2008, as well as $90,085 towards the purchase of AirTight’s assets. During 2009, property, plant and equipment additions included $110,852 for vehicles (sales personnel), $6,114 for leasehold improvements, $7,278 for office furniture and equipment, $74,077 for computers and software, $24,064 for machinery and equipment, and $17,111 for construction in progress. Net cash used in investing activities was $258,792 in 2008 compared to $1,381,955 in 2007. We invested $158,792 in new property, plant and equipment during 2008 compared to $1,381,955 in 2007, as well as $100,000 towards the purchase of AirTight’s assets. During 2008, property, plant and equipment additions included $222,793 in vehicles, $69,968 for leasehold improvements, $29,267 for office furniture and equipment, $72,077 for computers and software, $15,094 for machinery and equipment, and $18,634 for construction in progress. During 2007, property, plant and equipment additions included $55,510 for leasehold improvements, $28,099 for office furniture and equipment, $1,360,859 for machinery and equipment relating to our new foam resin plant and expansion of our coating and distribution facility in Houston, Texas, and reductions included $105,323 for vehicles and $72,476 for plant construction in progress due to capitalizing the operating portion of our foam resin plant.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $3,376,066 in 2009, reflecting a decrease of $3,963,188 when compared to $7,339,254 in 2008. Net cash was provided by our Chairman to finance our operations and capital expenditures in 2009. Our Chairman provided $4,300,000 under a financial commitment in the form of short term loans. During 2009, we made principal repayments of $500,000 under the Convertible Term Note and paid the Chairman $183,887 for a portion of his accrued preferred stock dividends. Net cash provided by financing activities was $7,339,254 in 2008, reflecting an increase of $531,417 when compared to $6,807,837 in 2007. Net cash was provided by our Credit Facility and Chairman to finance our operations and capital expenditures. ComVest provided $3,400,000 under the Revolving Credit Note and $1,502,616 under the Convertible Term Note and the Chairman provided $3,800,000 under a financial commitment in the form of short term loans. During 2008, we made principal repayments of $400,000 under the Convertible Term Note and $1,000,000 in reduction of our short term indebtedness to our Chairman prior to modifying the Credit Facility. In connection with the closing of the Credit Facility modification, the Chairman canceled $2,000,000 in short term loans in exchange for common stock. During 2007, net cash was provided by our Credit Facility and short term loans from our Chairman, to finance our operations and capital expenditures. ComVest provided $5,000,000 under a Revolving Credit Note and $2,000,000 under a Convertible Term Note, which we used to payoff certain former financings which were guaranteed by the Chairman, and repaid $400,000 of the short term loans advanced to us by the Chairman prior to entering into the Credit Facility. During 2007, we made principal repayments of $200,000 under the Convertible Term Note and the Chairman canceled $1,550,000 in short term loans in exchange for common stock.

We do not issue or invest in financial instruments or their derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Although we maintain limited operations in Canada, our operations are primarily conducted in the United States, and, as such, we are not subject to material foreign currency exchange risks. We have outstanding debt and related interest expense, however, market risk in interest rate exposure in the United States and Canada is currently not material to our operations. We utilize letters of credit to mitigate any risk of collection in our business outside of the United States and Canada.

Item 8.  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

The information required by this Item is incorporated herein by reference to the financial statements set forth in Item 15 of Part IV of this report, “Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.”

Item 9.  Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision- making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

2009 Year DC&P Evaluation

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2009, the end of the annual period covered by this report. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of the disclosure controls’ and procedures’ objectives, design, implementation and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this report. In the course of our evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm the appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken.

Based on the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and operating at the reasonable assurance level.  Material weaknesses existed. As described elsewhere in this report, certain information included herein for the first three calendar quarterly periods and year ended December 31, 2008, as well as the first three calendar quarterly periods in the 2009 year, was restated to: (a) record the accounting aspects of a related party transaction between two directors for the four quarters and year ended December 31, 2008 and the first three quarters of 2009; (b) disclose a technical default at December 31, 2008 on our credit facility that was not cured effectively until December 31, 2009; and (c) during 2009, insufficient senior level finance and accounting positions contributed to significant year end adjustments. A material weakness in internal control over financial reporting is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that adversely affects a company's ability to initiate, authorize, record, process, or report external financial data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, such that there is more than a remote likelihood that a misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. Due to the Company’s continued growth, additional and/or realignment of accounting staff is required to more effectively manage the increased volumes of business. The actions that the Company has taken and/or is in the process of taking to correct these material weaknesses include but are not limited to: (a) added a new control objective in its disclosure controls and procedures to detect all aspects of related party transactions; (b) actively searching for a permanent CFO (several candidates have been identified and are being considered); (c) reevaluating all existing accounting personnel; and (d) increasing the number of accounting personnel as deemed required by current and anticipated growth volume requirements. The Company believes the material weakness identified above with respect to detection of all aspects of related party transactions is currently in place and the new control objective added in the fourth quarter of 2009 rectifies this particular material weakness.  The Company’s search for a permanent CFO and assessment of the accounting department’s staffing requirements is ongoing at this particular time and expected to be rectified shortly. There were changes in our internal controls during the fourth quarter of 2009 as described above.  We are currently undertaking significant changes in our internal controls after the end of the fourth quarter of 2009 as described above. See 2008 Year DC&P Evaluation and Item 9A(T) below for additional information.

2008 Year DC&P Evaluation

We previously reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2009, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and operating at a reasonable assurance level and thereafter learned in November 2009 that they were not effective and operating at a reasonable assurance level. As described above, certain information for the first three calendar quarterly periods and year ended December 31, 2008, was restated to: (a) record the accounting aspects of a related party transaction between two directors for the four quarters and year ended December 31, 2008 and the first three quarters of 2009; and (b) disclose a technical default at December 31, 2008 on our credit facility that was not cured effectively until December 31, 2009. Based on the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and our Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective nor operating at a reasonable assurance level and a material weakness existed for the above mentioned undetected matters throughout 2008 and until the Company changed its internal controls over financial reporting to detect such matters during the fourth quarter of 2009. See 2009 Year DC&P Evaluation above.

Item 9A(T).  Controls and Procedures

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as is defined in the Exchange Act, pursuant to the SEC’s rules and regulations. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established by COSO. These internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the reported financial information is presented fairly, that disclosures are adequate and that the judgments inherent in the preparation of financial statements are reasonable. There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, including the possibility of human error and overriding of controls. Consequently, an effective internal control system can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance, with respect to reporting financial information.

2009 Year ICFR Evaluation

We conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established by COSO. As described elsewhere in this report, certain information included herein for the first three calendar quarterly periods and year ended December 31, 2008, as well as the first three calendar quarterly periods in the 2009 year, was restated to: (a) record the accounting aspects of a related party transaction between two directors for the four quarters and year ended December 31, 2008 and the first three quarters of 2009; and (b) disclose a technical default at December 31, 2008 on our credit facility that was not cured effectively until December 31, 2009. Moreover, insufficient senior level finance and accounting positions contributed to significant year end adjustments. Due to the Company’s continued growth, additional and/or realignment of accounting staff is required to more effectively manage the increased volumes of business, specifically we need a permanent CFO and personnel to perform account reconciliations. Based on this evaluation, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was, as of the December 31, 2009, the end of the annual period covered by this report, not effective. See 2008 Year ICFR Evaluation below and Item 9A above.

2008 Year ICFR Evaluation

We previously reported in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2009, that our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework and criteria established by COSO was, as of December 31, 2008, the end of the annual period covered by that report, effective, and thereafter learned in November 2009 that it was not effective. As described above, certain information for the first three calendar quarterly periods and year ended December 31, 2008, was restated to: (a) record the accounting aspects of a related party transaction between two directors for the four quarters and year ended December 31, 2008 and the first three quarters of 2009; and (b) disclose a technical default at December 31, 2008 on our credit facility that was not cured effectively until December 31, 2009. Based on the foregoing, we concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was, as of the December 31, 2008, the end of the annual period covered by this report, not effective until such time that the Company changed its internal controls over financial reporting to detect such matters in November 2009. See 2009 Year ICFR Evaluation above.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), requires our executive officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Executive officers, directors and greater than ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms furnished to us or the written representations from certain of the reporting persons that no other reports were required, we do not believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, all executive officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners complied with the reporting requirements of Section 16(a).

Code of Business Ethics and Conduct

We have adopted a Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, which contains general guidelines for conducting our business and is designed to help directors, employees and independent consultants resolve ethical issues in an increasingly complex business environment.

The Code of Business Ethics and Conduct covers topics including, but not limited to, conflicts of interest, confidentiality of information and compliance with laws and regulations. A copy of the Code of Business Ethics and Conduct is available in the Corporate Governance section of our website at www.lapollaindustries.com. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference in this annual report.

Item 11.  Executive and Director Compensation

Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis section discusses the compensation policies and programs for our named executive officers consisting of our CEO and President (Mr. Kramer), current Interim CFO and Treasurer, CGO, EVP, and Secretary (Mr. Adams), as well as former CFOs and Treasurers (Mr. Smiertka and Mr. Burns). The Compensation Committee administers the compensation policies and programs for our named executive officers, as well as the equity-based incentive compensation plans in which those persons participate.

Compensation Objectives

The Compensation Committee’s philosophy is to provide a compensation package that attracts, motivates and retains executive talent, and delivers rewards for superior performance as well as consequences for underperformance. The objectives of the Compensation Committee’s compensation practices are to (a) provide a total compensation program that is competitive in the industries in which we compete for executive talent; (b) place a significant portion of executive compensation at risk by linking such compensation to the achievement of corporate financial performance objectives and individual objectives; (c) provide long-term incentive compensation that focuses executives’ efforts on building stockholder value by aligning their interests with our stockholders; and (d) provide incentives that promote executive retention. In designing and administering our executive compensation programs, we attempt to strike an appropriate balance among these elements, as discussed below.

The major compensation elements for our named executive officers are base salary, annual bonuses, equity awards, insurance benefits and perquisites. Each of these elements is an integral part of and supports our overall compensation objectives. Base salaries (other than increases), insurance benefits and perquisites form stable parts of our named executive officers’ compensation packages that are not necessarily dependent on our performance during a particular year. We set these compensation elements at competitive levels so that we are able to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified executive officers. Consistent with our performance-based philosophy, we reserve the largest potential compensation for performance- and incentive-based awards. These awards include annual and long-term awards that are based on our financial performance and provide compensation in the form of stock options and stock bonuses to provide incentives that are tied to both our short-term and long-term performance. Our performance-based annual bonuses reward short-term and long-term performance, while our stock options reward long-term performance and align the interests of management with our stockholders. We additionally provide for retention of certain named executive officers through transaction bonuses in the case of a change in control.

Compensation Committee Determination of Compensation Awards

The Compensation Committee has primary authority for determining the compensation awards to be made to our executive officers. The Compensation Committee annually determines the total compensation levels for our executive officers by considering several factors, including each executive officer’s role and responsibilities, how the executive officer is performing against those responsibilities, and the Company’s performance.

Components of Compensation

Base Salary

Base salaries provide our executive officers with a degree of financial certainty and stability. In order to attract and retain highly qualified executives, we provide base salaries based on individual negotiations and general competitive hiring practices. Salaries are usually set by agreement with the named executive officers but also periodically reviewed in the case of executive promotions or other significant changes in responsibilities. The named executive officers received an average salary increase of 13% from 2008 to 2009. No formulaic base salary increases are provided to the named executive officers. Mr. Kramer and Mr. Adams each received a 12.5% and 10.2% increase in their base salaries, respectively, at the beginning of 2009 based on prior individual negotiations in 2008.

Annual Bonus

The primary purpose of our annual bonus, payable in cash or stock bonuses, is to motivate our named executive officers to meet or exceed our company-wide short-term performance objectives. The named executive officers are each eligible for annual bonus consideration designed to reward the named executive officers for their contributions to individual and corporate objectives. Annual bonuses are generally paid in March of the year following the performance period. For 2009, the Compensation Committee set profitability as the threshold. The Company did not achieve profitability as expected in 2009 and no annual bonuses were paid to any named executive officers based on such criteria. Mr. Adams received a $10,000 bonus for accepting additional responsibilities as Interim CFO during 2009.

Long-Term Incentive Awards — Stock Options

Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in our Equity Incentive Plan (“Equity Plan”). In addition to our named executive officers, our key employees are eligible to receive stock option grants (each option to purchase one share of common stock) under our Equity Plan throughout the fiscal year in connection with certain events, such as a new hire, retention of an employee, integration of acquisitions or the achievement of certain individual performance objectives. Such grants provide an incentive for our executive officers and key employees to increase our market value, as represented by our market price, as well as serving as a method for motivating and retaining them. The Compensation Committee believes that an award of stock options more closely aligns the interests of the recipient with those of our stockholders because the recipient will only realize a return on the option if our stock price increases over the term of the option. The exercise price of our option grants under the Equity Plan is equal to 100% of the closing price of our stock on the grant date.

 
14


During 2009, we granted to Mr. Adams 300,000 stock options in connection with his renewed executive employment agreement, which options have term of 6 years, and vest only upon a change in control, and Mr. Burns 20,000 stock options in connection with his executive employment agreement, which options had a term of 5 years and were to vest at the end of 2010 based on the Company achieving profitability (Mr. Burns resigned and his stock options automatically forfeited). No other stock options were granted in 2009.

Perquisites and Other Benefits

We also provide other benefits to our named executive officers that are not tied to any formal individual or company performance criteria and are intended to be part of a competitive overall compensation program. For 2009, these benefits included payment of health, dental, life, and long term disability insurance, and a leased automobile for Mr. Kramer; health, dental, life, and long term disability insurance, and an automobile allowance for Mr. Adams; and health, dental, life, and long term disability insurances for Mr. Smiertka (deceased) and Mr. Burns (resigned).

Transaction Bonus

We have provided a transaction bonus for Mr. Kramer and Mr. Adams in their employment agreements which only activates upon consummation of a change in control. See Severance and Change in Control Arrangements below for more information.

Severance and Change of Control Arrangements

We ordinarily enter into employment agreements with our named executive officers and occasionally key employees providing for specific terms of employment. Accordingly, employment of any employee without an employment agreement may be terminated at any time. We provide certain benefits to our named executive officers upon certain qualifying terminations and with terminations under certain circumstances following a change of control, which benefits are designed to retain our named executive officers, provide continuity of management in the event of an actual or threatened change of control, and to ensure that our named executive officers’ compensation and benefits expectations would be met in such event. A description of the material terms of our change of control agreements is on page 17 of this report under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control.”

Policy on Deductibility of Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), limits the tax deductibility by a company of annual compensation in excess of $1,000,000 paid to our CEO and any of our four other most highly compensated executive officers. However, performance-based compensation that has been approved by stockholders is excluded from the $1,000,000 limit if, among other requirements, the compensation is payable only upon attainment of pre-established, objective performance goals and our board of directors committee that establishes such goals consists only of “outside directors.” Additionally, stock options will qualify for the performance-based exception where, among other requirements, the exercise price of the option is not less than the fair market value of the stock on grant date, and the plan includes a per-executive limitation on the number of shares for which options may be granted during a specified period. Our stock option grants under our Equity Plan are intended to meet the criteria of Section 162(m) of the Code.  We believe all of the members of our Compensation Committee qualify as outside directors pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code. The Compensation Committee considers the anticipated tax treatment to our Company and our executive officers when reviewing executive compensation and our compensation programs. The deductibility of some types of compensation payments can depend upon the timing of an executive’s vesting or exercise of previously granted rights. Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code impose certain adverse tax consequences on compensation treated as excess parachute payments. An executive is treated as having received excess parachute payments for purposes of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code if he or she receives compensatory payments or benefits that are contingent on a change in the ownership or control of a corporation, and the aggregate amount of such contingent compensatory payments and benefits equal or exceeds three times the executive’s base amount. If the executive’s aggregate contingent compensatory payments and benefits equal or exceed three times the executive’s base amount, the portion of the payments and benefits in excess of one times the base amount are treated as excess parachute payments. An executive’s base amount generally is determined by averaging the executive’s Form W-2 taxable compensation from the corporation for the five calendar years preceding the calendar year in which the change in ownership or control occurs. An executive’s excess parachute payments are subject to a 20% excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, in addition to any applicable federal income and employment taxes. Also, the corporation’s compensation deduction in respect of the executive’s excess parachute payments is disallowed under Section 280G of the Code. If we were to be subject to a change of control, certain amounts received by our executives (e.g. amounts attributable to accelerated vesting of options) could be excess parachute payments under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code.

Notes:
(1) Amount represents the number of shares that may be purchased pursuant to options that were granted the Equity Plan, and have an exercise price per share equal to 100% of the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ OTCBB on May 18, 2009, the grant date, in accordance with the terms of the Equity Plan. The options have a term of approximately 5.7 years, vest, and are exercisable, upon a change in control.
(2) Amount represents the number of options that were granted pursuant to the Equity Plan, and have an exercise price per share equal to 100% of the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ OTCBB on October 28, 2009, the grant date, in accordance with the terms of the plan. The options have a term of five years, vest, and are exercisable, upon the Company achieving profitability for the 2010 calendar year.  These options were automatically forfeited upon Mr. Burns’ resignation on November 11, 2009.
(3) The dollar value of the options shown represents the grant date fair value based on a lattice-based valuation model of option valuation to determine grant date fair value, as prescribed under GAAP. The actual value, if any, an executive may realize will depend on the excess of the market price over the option exercise price on the date the option is exercised. There is no assurance that the value realized by an executive will be at or near the value estimated by the lattice-based valuation model. For a discussion of valuation assumptions, see Note 18 – Share-Based Payment Arrangements, Equity Incentive Plan, of our Notes to Financial Statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Notes:
(1) Mr. Kramer has 2,500,000 vested stock options, of which 562,500 are exercisable at December 31, 2009.

We did not have any outstanding stock awards held by our named executive officers at December 31, 2009.  Nor did any of our named executive officers exercise any stock options during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

We entered into long term employment and stock option agreements with our currently employed named executive officers that provide certain benefits in the event of termination due to dismissal for other than cause, disability and death, or change in control.

Termination

Under Mr. Kramer’s agreement, the entitlements upon termination vary depending upon: (1) termination by us without cause or by Mr. Kramer with good reason, (A) severance amount equal to the lesser of (i) 24 months Base Salary; or (ii) Base Salary for remainder of term; (B) product of (i) value of any equity or equity based awards granted which he can show he reasonably would have received had he remained employed by us through the end of the calendar year of termination date, or 4 months after termination date, whichever is greater, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, numerator of which is number of days in calendar year in which date of termination occurs through termination date and denominator of which is 365, but only to extent not previously vested, exercised and/or paid; (C) to extent not paid, any other amounts or benefits which he is entitled to receive through termination date under any other program maintained by us for his benefit; and (D) for 12 months from termination date, continued participation in any plan for medical, hospitalization and dental coverage for him as of termination date, subject to same terms and conditions as were applicable to him immediately prior to his termination date; (2) termination by us for cause or by him without good reason, in which case, Mr. Kramer shall have no right to any bonuses, salaries, benefits or other compensation other than those accrued through termination date; and (3) termination on account of death or disability, (A) we shall treat termination of his employment on account of his death or disability as a termination without cause, (B) in the event of his death, termination date shall be his date of death, (C) in the event of his disability, termination date shall be date that is 5 days after the date on which we give him written notice of termination of employment on account of his disability, and (D) our determination that he is incapable of fulfilling his obligations under his agreement is final and binding in the absence of fraud. As used in Mr. Kramer’s agreement, “cause” means: (i) willful malfeasance or willful misconduct in connection with his employment, (ii) continuing refusal to perform his duties hereunder or follow any lawful direction of the Board, (iii) any material breach of the nonsolicitation, noncompetition, and confidential information provisions of his agreement, (iv) engaging in conduct detrimental to the interest or reputation of the Company, without regard to whether such conduct was in connection with the his employment, or (v) his  conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony (other than a traffic violation), which, in each event in (i), (ii) or (iii), actually has a material effect on the Company and its business; and “good reason” means: (i) a reduction in Mr. Kramer’s base salary, (ii) a substantial diminution of his duties and responsibilities, or (iii) a relocation of his primary workplace that is not agreed to by him and is to a location that is greater than 50 miles from his primary workplace as of the date of this agreement.

Under Mr. Adams’ agreement, the entitlements upon termination vary depending upon: (a) dismissal for other than cause, (i) an amount equal to 6 months annual base salary paid in equal monthly installments, (ii) the product of (I) any awards (stock options) which he can show that he reasonably would have received had he remained in such executive capacity with us through the end of the calendar year or 6 months after the date of termination, whichever is greater, in which occurs his date of termination, multiplied by (II) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the calendar year in which the date of termination occurs through the date of termination and the denominator of which is 365, but only to the extent not previously vested, exercised and/or paid, (iii) for 6 months following the date of termination, we will continue to provide medical and dental benefits to the him only on the same basis as such benefits are provided during such period to our other senior executive officers; provided, however, that if our welfare plans do not permit such coverage, we will provide him the medical benefits outside of such plans, and (iv) to the extent not paid, we will timely pay or provide to him any other amounts or benefits which he is entitled to receive through the date of termination under any plan, including accrued vacation to the extent unpaid; or (b) disability or death, (i) an amount equal to 6 months annual base salary.  As used in Mr. Adams’ agreement, “cause” means: (i) the commission of any act of fraud, embezzlement or dishonesty, (ii) unauthorized use or disclosure of any confidential information or trade secrets of the Company, (iii) any intentional misconduct or violation of the Company’s Code of Business Ethics and Conduct by him which has a materially adverse effect upon the Company’s business or reputation, (iv) his continued failure to perform the major duties, functions and responsibilities of his position after written notice from the Company identifying the deficiencies in his performance and a reasonable cure period of not less than thirty (30) days or (v) a material breach of executive’s fiduciary duties as an officer of the Company.

Change in Control

If Lapolla or any successor terminates any of the current named executive officers’ employment agreements at any time during their respective employment periods following a Change in Control: each of them: (i) will be entitled to an amount equal to the salary which would otherwise be payable over the remaining term of each of their agreements in one lump sum; and (ii) any outstanding awards held by them or other benefits under any Company plan or program, which have not vested in accordance with their terms, will become fully vested and exercisable at the time of such termination.  In the case of Mr. Kramer and Mr. Adams, we have also provided a transaction bonus equal to 6 % or 1½ % which is activated upon consummation of a change in control. A “Change in Control” is defined as an Ownership Change Event or series of related Ownership Change Events (collectively, a "Transaction") in which the stockholders of the Company immediately before the Transaction do not retain immediately after the Transaction, direct or indirect beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Company or, in the case of an Ownership Change Event, the entity to which the assets of the Company were transferred.  An "Ownership Change Event" will be deemed to have occurred if any of the following occurs with respect to the Company: (i) the direct or indirect sale or exchange by the stockholders of the Company of all or substantially all of the voting stock of the Company; (ii) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is a party; (iii) the sale, exchange, or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (other than a sale, exchange or transfer to one or more subsidiaries of the Company); or (iv) a liquidation or dissolution of the Company. The sole exception to Change in Control and Ownership Change Event is any Change in Control that may result from the death or incapacity of Richard J. Kurtz wherein his interest is transferred to his heirs only.  In such event, no Change in Control or Ownership Change Event will be deemed to have occurred.

Acceleration of Benefits Under Certain Other Plans

Our Equity Plan also contains provisions for the accelerated vesting of stock options to participating named executive officers in the event of a change in control (using the same definition of “Change in Control” described above). Under our Equity Plan, in the event of a Change in Control, the surviving, continuing, successor, or purchasing entity or parent thereof, as the case may be (the "Acquiror"), may, without the consent of any participant, either assume the Company's rights and obligations under outstanding options or substitute for outstanding options substantially equivalent options to purchase the Acquiror's stock. In the event the Acquiror elects not to assume or substitute for outstanding options in connection with a Change in Control, the Compensation Committee shall provide that any unexercised and/or unvested portions of outstanding options shall be immediately vested and exercisable in full as of the date thirty (30) days prior to the date of the Change in Control. The vesting and/or exercise of any option shall be conditioned upon the consummation of the Change in Control. Any Options which are not assumed by the Acquiror in connection with the Change in Control nor exercised as of the time of consummation of the Change in Control shall terminate and cease to be outstanding effective as of the time of consummation of the Change in Control.  In accordance with the requirements of the SEC, the following table presents our reasonable estimate of the benefits payable to our named executive officers (1) under our employment agreements assuming that dismissal for other than cause, disability or death, or change in control occurred on December 31, 2009; and (2) under our Equity Plan assuming that a change of control occurred on December 31, 2009. Excluded from this table are any values relating to the transaction bonuses under the employment agreements (as described above) as such values are incalculable based on the highly speculative nature of this particular benefit. Although we believe we have made reasonable estimates regarding the amounts payable, there can be no assurance that in the event of a dismissal for other than cause, disability or death, or change in control, our named executive officers will receive the amounts reflected below.

(2) Represents 6 months or the remaining annual base salary payable over the remaining term of his employment agreements payable in one lump sum, whichever is lesser for dismissal other than for cause and disability or death, and annual base salary payable over the remaining term of his agreement, for a change in control.  Mr. Adams’ employment agreement expires on December 31, 2011.
(3) This column represents the aggregate value of accelerated vesting of unvested stock options based on the spread between the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2009 and the exercise prices of the stock options. Based on the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2009 of $.485, only Mr. Adams has in-the-money unvested stock options, which, after subtracting the closing price of $.485 from the $.35 exercise price on the 300,000 stock options granted on May 18, 2009 (which vest only upon a change in control), has a spread value of $40,500 at December 31, 2009. Refer to Part III, Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table, Option Awards, for more information on the unvested stock options outstanding.
(4) Represents the aggregate value of (a) 12 months, or $16,090, for Mr. Kramer, and 6 months, or $8,045, for Mr. Adams, for health and dental insurance, payable monthly; and (b) 2 weeks for Mr. Kramer, or $15,385, and 5 weeks for Mr. Adams, or $16,827, for unused accrued vacation.

The grant date fair value of the options to purchase the shares above of our common stock on January 16, 2007, was approximately $.59 per share, based on a lattice-based model of option valuation to determine grant date fair value, as prescribed under GAAP.  The actual value, if any, a director may realize will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. There is no assurance that the value realized by a director will be at or near the value estimated by the lattice-based valuation model. The following assumptions were used in the lattice-based valuation model: market price of stock, $.60; exercise price of option, $.60; expected stock volatility, 269.54%; risk-free interest rate, 4.193% (based on 5-year treasury bond rate); and expected life, 3 years (Lt. Gen. Gregg (Ret), Mr. Nadel, and Mr. Larson), and 2.8 years (Mr. Brown); and dividend yield, 0%. The vesting conditions and exercise restrictions of these options are as follows:
(i) For Mr. Gregg, 75,000 options (of a total 225,000 granted) are eligible to vest at the end of each year of his continuous service as a member of the Board, Chairperson of the Compensation Committee, and a member of certain Standing Committees for the next 3 years and exercisable at the rate of 33⅓% each year after vested. At December 31, 2009, 150,000 of Mr. Gregg’s stock options are vested.
(ii) For Mr. Nadel, 150,000 options (of a total 450,000 granted) are eligible to vest at the end of each year of his continuous service as a member of the Board, Chairperson of the Audit Committee, and a member of certain Standing Committees for the next 3 years and exercisable at the rate of 33⅓% each year after vested.  At December 31, 2009, 300,000 of Mr. Nadel’s stock options are vested.
(iii) For Mr. Larson, 45,000 options (of a total 135,000 granted) are eligible to vest at the end of each year of his continuous service as a member of the Board and certain Standing Committees for the next 3 years and exercisable at the rate of 33⅓% each year after vested.  At December 31, 2009, 90,000 of Mr. Larson’s stock options are vested.
(iv) Mr. Brown, who was at the time the stock options were originally granted on January 16, 2007 an advisor/consultant to the Board, 250,000 options (of a total 500,000 granted) were eligible to vest at the end of each year of service subject meeting certain performance criteria and exercisable at the rate of 50% each year only after all 500,000 Options vest. However, upon being elected to the Board at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 22, 2007, his advisor/consultant role automatically terminated and his original vesting and exercise criteria changed to: 86,300 Options automatically vested but are only exercisable after the end of two years, while 137,900 Options are eligible to vest each on January 15, 2008, 2009, and 2010, respectively, based on his continuous service as a member of the Board and Chairperson of the Executive Committee 2.67 years and exercisable at the rate of 33⅓% each year after vested.  At December 31, 2009, 362,100 of Mr. Brown stock options are vested.
(3) The amount shown consists of: (a) $247,259 in accrued interest; and (b) $797,600 in accrued preferred stock dividends, for 2009. See also Note 13 - Related Party Transactions, Item (d), of our Notes to Financial Statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
(4) The amount shown consists of $19,425 in accrued preferred stock dividends paid to Mr. Brown during 2009.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

No member of the Compensation Committee is a current or former officer or employee of us or any of our former subsidiaries. None of our executive officers served on the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board of Directors or on the Compensation Committee.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management, and based on the review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to our board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Item 12.  Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters

Directors and Executive Officers

The following table sets forth information as of March 25, 2010, regarding the beneficial ownership of common stock by (i) each director, (ii) CEO, CFO, and other executive officers, and (iii) all of our directors, named executive officers and executive officers as a group.  Beneficial ownership is determined under the rules of the SEC and generally includes voting or investment power over securities. Except in cases where community property laws apply or as indicated in the footnotes to the table, we believe that each stockholder identified in the table possesses sole voting and investment power over all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by the stockholder. Shares of common stock subject to vesting or options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of March 25, 2010 are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person granted the shares or holding the options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

The existing Warrants, as amended, are for the purchase of an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of common stock, exercisable at an adjusted price of $.60 per share and expire on a date extended to June 30, 2013.

(a)   On March 23, 2010, we received a commitment letter from our principal stockholder and Chairman of the Board, Mr. Kurtz, wherein he agreed to provide funding of up to $11,000,000 to be used as working capital to facilitate our growth and expansion for the 2010 year.  The funding, if required, will be in the form of a demand loan bearing 8% interest per annum.
 
(b)   On December 31, 2009, Mr. Kurtz, Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder, converted $5,840,000 of indebtedness owed by the Company to him, of which $5,100,000 was for a Note Payable – Related Party and $740,000 was for a Loan Payable – Related Party, into 5,840 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, par value $1.00, at the stated value of $1,000 per share.

(c)   On December 4, 2009, the Company accepted the voluntary redemption of 50 shares of Series D Preferred Stock, par value $1.00, at the stated value of $1,000 per share, from Mr. Brown, a director, for $50,000 in cash.

(f)     On May 18, 2009, the Company entered into a new Executive Employment Agreement (“Adams Agreement”) and Stock Option Agreement (“Adams Option”) with Mr. Adams, CGO, EVP and Secretary, both of which are summarized below.

(i)  Executive Employment Agreement.  The Adams Agreement commenced on May 18, 2009 and ends December 31, 2011 (“Term”). Mr. Adams’ base salary is $175,000 per year.  He is entitled, upon consummation of a change in control, to a transaction bonus of 1.5% of the transaction value. If Mr. Adams’ employment is terminated by the Company without cause during the Term, he is entitled to: (a) severance equal to six (6) months annual base salary, (b) the product of any Awards which Mr. Adams can show that he reasonably would have received had he remained in such executive capacity with the Company through the end of the period covered by the Award, or six (6) months after the Date of Termination, whichever period is greater, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Award Period up to the Date of Termination occurs through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Award Period, but only to the extent not previously vested, exercised and/or paid, and (c) for six (6) months following the Date of Termination, Company shall continue to provide medical and dental benefits only to Mr. Adams on the same basis as such benefits are provided during such period to the senior executive officers of Company. If Mr. Adams’ employment is terminated following a change in control, he is entitled to: (a) an amount equal to the annual base salary which would otherwise be payable over the remaining term of his agreement; and any outstanding Awards (including substituted shares of the acquiring or surviving Company in the case of a merger or acquisition) held by him or other benefits under any Company plan or program, which have not vested in accordance with their terms will become fully vested and exercisable at the time of such termination.

(ii)  Stock Option Agreement.  The Adams Option commenced on May 18, 2009 (“Grant Date”) and ends December 31, 2015. Mr. Adams was granted 300,000 stock options (“Options”) under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (“Equity Plan”), for the purchase of common stock, at an exercise price of $.35 per share (equal to 100% of closing price of Company’s common stock as traded on the NASDAQ OTCBB on the Grant Date) which vests only upon a change in control. The Options granted automatically vest thirty (30) days prior to consummation of a Change in Control.  The determination of whether or not a Change in Control will take place will be made by the full Board of Directors.  Once vested, the Options are immediately exercisable.

(g)    On June 30, 2008, we entered into an Amended and Restated Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement (“Loan Agreement”) with ComVest Capital, LLC (“New Credit Facility”) which replaced the prior credit facility. The New Credit Facility provides up to $9,500,000 under an amended and restated revolving credit note (“Revolver”) and $3,000,000 under an amended and restated convertible term note (“Convertible Note”) for a total of $12,500,000.  The prior credit facility entered into between LaPolla and ComVest on February 21, 2007, as amended on June 12, 2007, provided for $5,000,000 under a revolving credit note and $2,000,000 under a convertible term note (“Prior Credit Facility”). In connection with the establishment of the New Credit Facility, the Company agreed to reprice certain warrants originally issued as part of the Prior Credit Facility and issue a new warrant contemporaneously with entering into the New Credit Facility. The Revolver bears interest according to a coverage ratio formula with a coverage ratio ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 and Prime rate ranging from Prime plus 1% to Prime plus 0%. The coverage ration formula is defined as the ratio of (i) Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) minus capital expenditures paid in cash, to (ii) Debt Service (as such terms are defined in the Loan Agreement), in each case for the fiscal quarter ending on the date of the subject financial statements and calculation, and (b) the term “Prime Rate” shall mean the “prime rate” or “base rate” of interest publicly announced by Citibank, N.A. The Convertible Note: (a) bears interest at 10% per annum, (b) the principal is payable (i) in thirteen (13) equal monthly installments of $83,333.33 each, due and payable on the first day of each calendar month commencing July 1, 2009 and continuing through and including August 1, 2010, and (ii) in a final installment due and payable on August 31, 2010 in an amount equal to the entire remaining principal balance, (c) and is convertible optionally by ComVest at any time or mandatorily by LaPolla subject to satisfaction of certain conditions to common stock at the rate of $.77 per share.  The Convertible Note is personally guaranteed by the Chairman of the Board.  The Company issued to ComVest a warrant to acquire up to 1,000,000 shares of LaPolla's common stock at an exercise price of $.78 per share (“New Warrant”) and also agreed to modify the exercise price with respect to all of the previously issued and remaining 1,500,000 warrants (“Prior Warrants”). The Prior Warrants were previously priced at $.74 for 750,000 and $.61 for 750,000.  The Prior Warrants were repriced at $.60.

(h)    On June 30, 2008, contemporaneously with entering into the New Credit Facility described above, the Chairman of the Board and principal stockholder of Lapolla, Mr. Kurtz, in a private transaction in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933, as amended, converted $2,000,000 of the total indebtedness owed to him by Lapolla into shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01 of Lapolla, at the rate of $.78 per share, yielding a total issuance of 2,564,103 shares. The price per share reflects the ten (10) day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s common stock as traded on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board prior to June 30, 2008.

(i)     On May 5, 2008, the Company entered into a new Executive Employment Agreement (“Kramer Agreement”) and Stock Option Agreement (“Kramer Option”) with Mr. Kramer, CEO and President, both of which are summarized below.

(i)  Executive Employment Agreement.  The Kramer Agreement commenced on May 5, 2008 and ends December 31, 2010 (“Term”). Mr. Kramer’s base salary is $350,000 per year.  He is entitled, upon consummation of a change in control, to a transaction bonus of 6% of the transaction value. If Mr. Kramer is terminated by the Company without cause or Mr. Kramer terminates his employment with good reason during the Term, he is entitled to: (a) severance equal to the lesser of 24 months base salary or base salary for the remainder of the Term, (b) the product of the value of any equity based awards which he can show he reasonably would have received had he remained employed by the Company through the end of that calendar year, or 4 months after the termination date, whichever is greater, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the calendar year in which the date of termination occurs through the termination date and the denominator is 365, but only to the extent not previously vested, exercised and/or paid, and (c) 12 months of continuous health and dental benefits. If Mr. Kramer is terminated following a change in control, he is entitled to: (a) his base salary for the remainder of the Term, and (b) any outstanding awards, including stock options, which have not vested will become fully vested and exercisable at the time of such termination. The Kramer Agreement also includes nonsolicitation, noncompetition, and ownership of developments and other rights provisions. This Kramer Agreement supersedes the previously entered into executive employment agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Kramer effective as of July 25, 2005 and ending on January 31, 2009.

 
22


(ii)  Stock Option Agreement.  This Kramer Option commenced on May 5, 2008 (“Grant Date”) and ends December 31, 2013. Mr. Kramer was granted an additional 2,000,000 stock options under the Company’s Equity Plan, for the purchase of common stock, at an exercise price of $.74 per share (equal to 100% of closing price of Company’s common stock as traded on the NASDAQ OTCBB on Grant Date) which vests in 250,000 option increments, with the first increment vesting on the earlier of June 30, 2008, provided the Company has net pre-tax income for the fiscal quarter ending on that date, or the last day of the Company’s first fiscal quarter ending after June 30, 2008 for which the Company has a quarterly profit, and each of the remaining increments on the last day of each the next seven fiscal quarters for which the Company has a quarterly profit, and once vested, is exercisable on an inclining cumulative basis over a four year period, subject in all cases to continued satisfactory employment through the last day of each such quarter, and expiring December 31, 2013 (“New Option”). The New Option amended existing stock options previously granted on July 12, 2005 also for 2,000,000 shares, at an exercise price of $.67 per share (100% of closing price), and expiring December 31, 2012 (“Existing Option”). There were 480,000 options vested and 1,520,000 options remaining unvested under the Existing Option, and the unvested portion automatically vested when the New Option was granted on May 5, 2008. Although the 2,000,000 options under the Existing Option are now fully vested, the exercise restrictions were amended to be the same as those described above for the New Option. As a result, the Company recorded the remaining fair value of the Existing Option prior to the modification of $258,371, including the incremental increase in fair value due to the modification of the Existing Option as of the modification date of $6,242, for a total of $264,613 on said date.

(j)     On February 19, 2008, Mr. Kurtz, Chairman of the Board and majority stockholders, and Mr. Nadel, a director, entered into a private agreement whereby Mr. Kurtz agreed to transfer approximately 1,084,000 shares, in two installments, of his restricted common stock to Mr. Nadel in order to secure his continued attention and hands on participation required with his role as a Board member for a two year period. The first installment of 500,000 shares was transferred to Mr. Nadel on February 19, 2008 and second installment of 584,000 shares was transferred to Mr. Nadel on February 18, 2009 by Mr. Kurtz. The installments vest one year after the date of each installment. The closing price of the Company’s common stock as traded on the NASDAQ OTCBB on the date of the private agreement was $.70 per share. The grant-date fair value related to this transaction is $758,800.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons.

The Company does not maintain a formal policy or procedure for review, approval or ratification of transactions with related persons. The Company does regularly communicate through Board and Standing Committee meetings and Unanimous Resolutions, wherein transactions with related persons are reviewed and approved or ratified. In addition, transactions involving our directors are disclosed and reviewed by our Corporate Governance Committee in its assessment of our directors’ independence. To the extent such transactions are related to ongoing business relationships, the transactions are disclosed and, as applicable, reviewed annually. The Board of Directors intends to approve only those related party transactions that are in the best interests of our stockholders.

Director Independence

Lapolla is a “controlled company” because more than 50% of the voting power of Lapolla is held by Mr. Kurtz, our Chairman of the Board. Although we are not required to have a majority of independent directors due to being a controlled company, we are also not required due to not being listed on a national stock exchange or an inter-dealer quotation system with such requirements. However, the members of our Audit Committee are required to meet applicable SEC independence standards. Lapolla uses its own definition for determining whether its directors and members of specific committees of the board of directors, are independent. In short, in order to be considered to be independent, a member of the board of directors or any board committee may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the board of directors or any board committee: (i) accept any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the Company; or (ii) be an affiliated person of the Company or any subsidiary thereof. Independent directors are not officers of the Company and are in view of the Company’s Board of Directors, free of any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment. Our board has reviewed the relationships between us, including our affiliates, and each board member (and each such director’s immediate family members). Based on its review, the Board has affirmatively determined that Mr. Kurtz, Mr. Brown, Mr. Kramer, and Mr. Adams are not, and Lt. Gen. Gregg (Ret), Mr. Nadel, and Mr. Larson are independent directors at this time. Mr. Kurtz was determined to not be independent based on his majority stockholder and Chairman of the Board status. Mr. Brown was not independent based on his initially being retained as an advisor to the Board of Directors on January 16, 2007 even though his advisory role terminated upon his becoming elected to the Board of Directors on May 22, 2007 and the stock option compensation he received was de minimis. Mr. Kramer and Mr. Adams are both not independent based on being executive officers of Lapolla. There was no information considered by our Board of Directors, other than what has been disclosed in this amended report, in determining that Lt. Gen. Gregg (Ret), Mr. Nadel, and Mr. Larson were “independent” within the Company’s independence standards.

For 2008, represents the aggregate fees billed to us by Hein for the start of the audit of Air-Tight Marketing and Distribution, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2007 and review of the interim period from January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008, which audit was subsequently deemed inapplicable based on the purchase price reduction recorded by Lapolla at December 31, 2008.

(3)
Represents the aggregate fees billed to us by Hein for professional services rendered for non-audit services related to Federal tax research and Internal Revenue Code, as amended, Section 382 analysis, which services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval

As part of its required duties, the Audit Committee pre-approves audit and non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. The policy generally provides that services in the defined categories of audit services, audit-related services, tax services and all other services, are deemed pre-approved up to specified amounts, and sets requirements for specific case-by-case pre-approval of discrete projects that are not otherwise pre-approved or for services over the pre-approved amounts. Pre-approval may be given as part of the Audit Committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm or on an individual basis. The pre-approval of services may be delegated to one or more of the Audit Committee’s members, but the decision must be presented to the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The policy prohibits retention of the independent registered public accounting firm to perform the prohibited non-audit functions defined in Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the rules of the SEC, and also considers whether proposed services are compatible with the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm. All services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm in 2008 were pre-approved in accordance with the Audit Committee’s pre-approval requirements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


Board of Directors
Lapolla Industries, Inc.
Houston, Texas

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Lapolla Industries, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related statements of operations, change in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (restated).  We have also audited the Schedule II listed in the accompanying Item 15(a)2. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lapolla Industries, Inc. as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Also, in our opinion, the Schedule II presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of Lapolla Industries, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 included in Item 9A(T) of Part II in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

As discussed in Note 22 to the financial statements, the 2008 financial statements have been restated to correct a misstatement.

As discussed in Note 11 to the financial statements, the Company changed its method of determining whether equity-linked financial instruments are indexed to the Company’s own stock, with the adoption of the amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 815-40, Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity, effective January 1, 2009.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.
Summary of Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Assumptions.

This summary briefly describes the Company’s organization, basis of presentation, and critical accounting policies, estimates, and assumptions, which are presented to assist in understanding these financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of management who are responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The accounting policies used conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying our accounting policies in many areas. However, application of the critical accounting policies discussed below requires management’s significant judgments, often as the result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. If actual results were to differ materially from the estimates made, the reported results could be materially affected.

Organization History

The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on October 20, 1989.  The Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Infiniti Products, Inc. (f/k/a Infiniti Paint Co., Inc.), a Florida corporation, effective September 1, 2001, which was engaged in the business of developing, marketing, selling, and distributing primarily acrylic roof coatings and polyurethane foam systems in the Southeastern United States (“Infiniti”). During the latter part of 2004, Infiniti built and began operating an acrylic roof coatings manufacturing plant in the Southeastern United States. On February 11, 2005, the Company acquired 100% of the capital stock of Lapolla Industries, Inc., an Arizona corporation (“Lapolla AZ”), which was engaged in the business of manufacturing acrylic roof coatings and sealants, and distributing polyurethane foam systems in the Southwestern United States. On April 1, 2005, Infiniti merged with and into Lapolla AZ whereas the existence of Infiniti ceased. On October 1, 2005, Lapolla AZ merged with and into the Company, under its former name of IFT Corporation, whereas the existence of Lapolla AZ ceased. On November 8, 2005, the Company changed its name to Lapolla Industries, Inc. On July 1, 2008, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Air-Tight Marketing and Distribution, Inc. On November 5, 2004, the Company discontinued the operations of its former RSM Technologies, Inc. subsidiary.  The Company established its first international branch, opening a Canadian headquarters in Toronto, Ontario, in the second half of 2009.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation.

Restatements and Corrections to Previously Issued Financial Statements

Certain restated information is included for the first three calendar quarterly periods and year ended December 31, 2008, as well as the first three calendar quarterly periods in the 2009 year, to record the accounting aspects of a related party transaction between two directors; and to disclose a default (which has since been cured at December 31, 2009) on the Company’s credit facility, which resulted in a reclassification of the revolving credit note from non-current to current for the year ended December 31, 2008.  See Note 22 - Restatements and Corrections to Previously Issued Financial Statements.

Trade Receivables and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company’s customers consist of contractors and distributors. Trade receivables consist primarily of uncollateralized customer obligations, including personal guarantees when obtainable, due under normal trade terms which usually require payment within 30 days of the invoice date.  However, these payment terms are extended in select cases and many customers do not pay within stated trade terms.  The Company has trade receivables from a diversified customer base. In addition, the Company has a credit insurance policy in place covering some customer account balances. The Company believes no significant concentration of credit risk exists. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its customers’ financial position and monitors accounts on a regular basis. Provisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are reviewed quarterly and adjustments are made periodically (as circumstances warrant) based upon management’s best estimate of the collectibility of all such accounts. No customer represents more than 10% of sales.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recorded based upon their fair value at the date of acquisition. According to GAAP, goodwill is required to be tested for impairment, on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired. The goodwill impairment test is performed by comparing the fair value of the associated reporting unit to its carrying value. GAAP also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment, unless these lives are determined to be indefinite.

Deposits and Other Non-Current Assets

The Company capitalizes amounts incurred to obtain certifications and approvals for its products and amortizes them over their estimated useful lives. Net other non-current assets totaled $433,677 and amortization expense totaled $47,510 as and for the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively. Net other non-current assets totaled $382,645 and amortization expense totaled $41,867 as and for the year ended December 31, 2008, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company adopted authoritative GAAP guidance regarding disclosures about fair value of financial instruments, which requires the disclosure of the fair value of off-and-on balance sheet financial instruments. Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and liabilities, which represent financial instruments (none of which are held for trading purposes), approximate the carrying values of such amounts.

The Company adopted authoritative GAAP guidance regarding fair value measurements, which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: (a) Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  The Company had no Level 1 assets or liabilities at December 31, 2009; (b) Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.  The Company had no Level 2 assets or liabilities at December 31, 2009; and (c) Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. The Company had Level 3 assets or liabilities at December 31, 2009. See Note 11 to our financial statements for level 3 assets and liabilities. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and payables, prepaid expenses and other current assets, amounts due to related parties, and other payables and accruals approximates fair value due to the short period of time to maturity.

Derivatives and Fair Value

The Company recognizes derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value with changes in the values of these derivative liabilities reflected in the statements of operations. The fair value of our derivative liabilities as of January 1, 2009 was estimated to be $890,289. The fair value of our derivative liabilities as of December 31, 2009 was estimated to be $571,864. We review the underlying assumptions on our derivative liabilities quarterly and they are subject to change based primarily on management’s assessment at that time. Accordingly, changes to these assessments could materially affect the valuation, which could positively or negatively affect our financial performance in future periods. Disclosures related to our derivative liabilities are included in Note 11 to our financial statements.

Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company is occasionally involved in legal proceedings. The Company accrues a liability for such matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. When only a range of possible loss can be established, the most probable amount in the range is accrued. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. The accrual for a litigation loss contingency might include, for example, estimates of potential damages, outside legal fees and other directly related costs expected to be incurred.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash deposited with financial institutions and marketable securities with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash and cash equivalents.

Inventories

Cost is determined on an actual and/or standard cost basis that approximates the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method using a perpetual inventory system.  Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market (replacement cost), which does not exceed net realizable value.

Income Taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes is determined using the U.S. federal statutory rate. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities along with net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. The Company’s deferred tax asset was approximately $21.8 Million and $20.8 Million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company recorded a valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets to reduce the net carrying value to an amount that the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized. As a result, the Company recorded a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset of $21.8 Million and $20.8 Million at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. If the Company reduces the valuation allowance against its available deferred tax asset, the Company’s operating results and financial condition will be positively affected in future periods.

Purchase Price Allocation

The purchase price allocation for acquisitions requires extensive use of accounting estimates and judgments to allocate the purchase price to the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values. Additionally, the Company must determine whether an acquired entity is considered to be a business or a set of net assets, because a portion of the purchase price can only be allocated to goodwill in a business combination.  During 2008, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Air-Tight Marketing and Distribution, Inc. (“AirTight Asset Purchase”) for an adjusted purchase price of approximately $3.2 Million. The Company accounted for the acquisition as a business combination. The purchase price for the acquisition was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The determination of estimated fair values requires significant estimates and assumptions, including but not limited to, estimating future cash flows and developing an appropriate discount rate. The Company believes the estimated fair values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on reasonable assumptions.

Depreciable Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method, which deducts equal amounts of the cost of each asset from earnings every year over its estimated economic useful life.  Economic useful life is the duration of time an asset is expected to be productively employed by the Company, which may be less than its physical life. Assumptions on the following factors, among others, affect the determination of estimated economic useful life: wear and tear, obsolescence, technical standards, contract life, market demand, competitive position, raw material availability, and geographic location. The estimated economic useful life of an asset is monitored to determine its appropriateness, especially in light of changed business circumstances. For example, changes in technology, changes in the estimated future demand for products, or excessive wear and tear may result in a shorter estimated useful life than originally anticipated. In these cases, we would depreciate the remaining net book value over the new estimated remaining life, thereby increasing depreciation expense per year on a prospective basis. Net property, plant and equipment totaled $2,422,499 and depreciation expense totaled $478,785 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively. Net property, plant and equipment totaled $2,623,388 and depreciation expense totaled $430,717 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008, respectively. The depreciable lives of our manufacturing plants within our Foam and Coatings segments are principally 20 years. During 2008, we acquired vehicles in our AirTight Asset Purchase and added to our vehicle fleet. The depreciable lives of our vehicles within our Foam and Coatings segments are principally 5 years. These depreciable lives have been determined based on historical experience combined with judgment on future assumptions such as technological advances, potential obsolescence, competitors’ actions, etc. Management monitors its assumptions and may potentially need to adjust depreciable life as circumstances change.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment held for use is grouped for impairment testing at the lowest level for which there is an identifiable cash flow. Impairment testing of the asset group occurs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Such circumstances would include a significant decrease in the market value of a long-lived asset grouping, a significant adverse change in the manner in which the asset grouping is being used or in its physical condition, a history of operating or cash flow losses associated with the use of the asset grouping, or changes in the expected useful life of the long-lived assets. If such circumstances are determined to exist, an estimate of undiscounted future cash flows produced by that asset group is compared to the carrying value to determine whether impairment exists. If an asset group is determined to be impaired, the loss is measured based on the difference between the asset group’s fair value and its carrying value. An estimate of the asset group’s fair value is based on the discounted value of its estimated cash flows. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell.  The assumptions underlying cash flow projections represent our best estimates at the time of the impairment review. Factors that we must estimate include industry and market conditions, sales volume and prices, costs to produce, etc. Changes in key assumptions or actual conditions that differ from estimates could result in an impairment charge. Management believes it uses reasonable and supportable assumptions when performing impairment reviews and cannot predict the occurrence of future events and circumstances that could result in impairment charges.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible asset of an acquired business. Goodwill was $4,234,828 at December 31, 2009 and $3,741,167 at December 31, 2008.  The $493,661 increase in goodwill from 2008 to 2009 is due to an adjustment to the purchase price for the AirTight Asset Purchase made during 2009. The Company operates two reporting units or segments, Foam and Coatings. Disclosures related to goodwill are included in Note 8 to the financial statements.  The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if Management believes indicators of impairment exist, by comparing the carrying value of each of reportable segment to their estimated fair values. The annual evaluation is performed in the fourth quarter of each calendar year. The impairment test requires the Company to compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including assigned goodwill.  In the fourth quarter of 2009 and 2008, the Company conducted the required annual test of goodwill for impairment.  Management primarily uses an income approach valuation model, representing the present value of future cash flows to determine fair value of a reporting unit. The valuation model uses a five-year growth period for the reporting units. Management has determined the income approach valuation model represents the most appropriate valuation methodology due to the capital intensive nature of the business, cash flows generated by the reporting units, and limited comparables within the industry. The principal assumptions utilized in the Company’s income approach valuation model include revenue growth rate, operating profit margins, discount rate, and long term growth rate. Revenue growth rate and operating profit assumptions are consistent with those utilized in the Company’s operating plan and long term financial planning process. The discount rate assumption is calculated based upon an estimated weighted average cost of capital which includes factors such as the risk free rate of return, cost of debt, and expected equity premiums. Long term growth rate is determined from market and industry growth trends. Also, the expected cash flows consider historical experience and current and future expected market and industry conditions. Management judgment is required in the determination of each assumption utilized in the valuation model, and actual results could differ from the estimates. Upon completion of the 2009 and 2008 annual impairment assessments, the Company determined no impairment was indicated as the estimated fair value of each of the reporting units substantially exceeded its respective carrying value. As of December 31, 2009, the Company does not believe any significant indicators of impairment exist for goodwill that would require additional analysis before the 2010 annual evaluation.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - continued

Other Intangible Assets

The Company had other intangible assets, net of $1,464,694 and $1,695,907 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, consisting primarily of customer lists, product formulations, trade names, and non-competes that were acquired as part of business combinations.  Amortization of other intangible assets totaled $271,540 and $146,410 at December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Other intangible assets are tested for impairment as part of the long-lived asset grouping impairment tests. Impairment testing of the asset group occurs whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. See impairment discussion above under Property, Plant and Equipment for a description of how impairment losses are determined. Disclosures related to other intangible assets are included in Note 8 to the financial statements.

Significant management judgment is required in the forecasts of future operating results that are used in the Company’s impairment evaluations. The estimates used are consistent with the plans and estimates that Management uses to manage its business. It is possible, however, that the plans may change and estimates used may prove to be inaccurate. If the Company’s actual results, or the plans and estimates used in future impairment analyses, are lower than the original estimates used to assess the recoverability of these assets, then the Company could incur future impairment charges, which would adversely affect financial performance.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recognized as risk and title to products transfers to the customer (which generally occurs at the time shipment is made), the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Sales channels include direct sales, distributors, and independent representatives.  Irrespective of the sales channel, returns and allowances are not a business practice in the industry. Amounts billed for shipping and handling are included in revenues (freight).  Freight included in revenue was $462,270 and $561,046 in 2009 and 2008, respectively. Costs incurred for shipping and handling are included in cost of sales. Revenues are recorded net of sales tax.  Freight included in cost of sales was $2,357,811 and $2,660,847 in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Research and Development

Research and development costs related to both future and present products are charged to operations as incurred.

Share Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock based compensation in accordance with GAAP, which requires the Company to measure and recognize the cost of employee or director services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. The fair value of share based awards is estimated at the grant date using a lattice-based valuation model and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period.  The determination of fair value is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. Employee stock option exercise behavior is based on actual historical exercise activity and assumptions regarding future exercise activity of unexercised, outstanding options. The Company applies an estimated forfeiture rate to unvested awards for the purpose of calculating compensation cost. These estimates are subject to revision in future periods if actual forfeitures differ from the estimates and changes impact compensation cost in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. Disclosures related to share based compensation are included in Note 18 to our financial statements.

Share based compensation expense was $538,836 in 2009 compared to $900,620 in 2008. The $361,784 decrease was due to forfeitures and cancellations resulting in non vesting of stock options granted in 2009 and prior years based on changed circumstances or failure to meet specified option vesting targets during 2009. As a result, our share based compensation expense decrease positively affected the Company’s financial performance for 2009. If additional stock options are granted, financial performance may be negatively affected, and if outstanding stock options are forfeited or canceled, resulting in non-vesting of such stock options, financial performance may be positively affected. In either instance, the Company’s financial performance may change depending on stock option activities in future periods.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company presents trade receivables, net of allowances for doubtful accounts, to ensure trade receivables are not overstated due to uncollectible accounts. Allowances, when required, are calculated based on a detailed review of certain individual customer accounts and an estimation of the overall economic conditions affecting our customer base. The Company reviews a customer’s credit history before extending credit. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $734,962 at December 31, 2009 and $492,451 at December 31, 2008. If the financial condition of customers were to deteriorate further based on worsening overall economic conditions, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments to the Company, then additional allowances may be required in future periods, which would adversely affect the Company’s financial performance.

Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Costs

The Cost of Sales line item includes all the material, overhead, packaging, and freight costs associated with products shipped, including resale finished goods and raw materials, as well as payroll costs associated with manufacturing the finished goods, inbound freight, sales tax expense, product containers, labels, and other miscellaneous items that are indirectly used in the manufacturing, packaging, and shipping (outbound freight) of finished goods, including inspection, and internal transfer costs, as well as depreciation of machinery, and an allocated portion of overhead. The Selling, General and Administrative line item includes selling, advertising, marketing, customer service, and technical support, as well as the costs of providing corporate functional support for all other areas of our business.

Advertising Expenses

Advertising expenses are expensed as incurred and the costs of space in publications are expensed when the related advertising occurs. Advertising expenses were approximately $156,838 and $300,103 in 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Debt Issuance Costs

The Company capitalizes debt issuance costs, which are included in “Other Non-Current Assets” in the Company’s balance sheets. These costs are amortized using the effective interest method. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in “Interest Expense – Amortization of Discount” in the statements of operations.

Net (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic (loss) per share is based upon the net (loss) applicable to common shares after preferred dividend requirements and upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted (loss) per share reflects the effect of the assumed conversions of convertible securities and exercise of stock options only in periods in which such effect would have been dilutive.  Basic and diluted net (loss) per common share are the same since (a) the Company has reflected net losses from continuing operations for all periods presented and (b) the potential common shares would be antidilutive.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Boards (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance that establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as the single source of authoritative U.S. Generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) to be applied by nongovernmental entities and modifies the GAAP hierarchy to only two levels: authoritative and non-authoritative. This guidance became effective for interim periods and fiscal years ending after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance in the third quarter of 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This guidance became effective for interim periods and fiscal years ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance in the second quarter of 2009. See Note 23 to our financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that clarifies the criteria for determining whether certain financial instruments should be classified as derivative instruments or equity instruments. This guidance became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance in the first quarter of 2009 and, as required, evaluated the equity component of its Convertible Term Note due August 31, 2010. The Company determined that the conversion feature of its Convertible Term Note is indexed to its own stock and is therefore classified as an equity instrument.

In May 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled fully or partially in cash upon conversion. This guidance requires entities to separately measure and account for the liability and equity components of qualifying convertible debt and amortize the value of the equity component to interest cost over the estimated life of the convertible debt instrument. By amortizing the value of the equity component, an entity will effectively recognize interest cost at its non-convertible debt borrowing rate. This guidance also requires re-measurement of the liability and equity components upon extinguishment of a convertible debt instrument, which may result in a gain or loss recognized in the financial statements for the extinguishment of the liability component. This guidance requires retrospective application for all instruments that were outstanding during any periods presented, and became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company previously accounted for its convertible debt instruments in the manner clarified by this guidance for all applicable periods.

In April 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends the guidance for estimating the useful lives of recognized intangible assets and requires additional disclosure related to renewing or extending the useful lives of recognized intangible assets. This guidance became effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance in the first quarter of 2009. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In March 2008, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that requires entities to disclose: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This guidance became effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance in the first quarter of 2009.

Liquidity.

Although the Company has stockholders equity of $3,763,219 at December 31, 2009, it also has an accumulated deficit of $78,692,304, working capital deficit of $4,780,743, and net loss of $2,823,927, for the year then ended.  As a result, there are concerns about the liquidity of the Company.  The Company has an outstanding credit facility with ComVest Capital LLC (“ComVest”) consisting of a convertible term note (“Convertible Note”) with an outstanding balance of $2.5 Million and revolving credit note (“Revolving Note”) with an outstanding balance of $8.37 Million, both of which mature on August 31, 2010 (“Credit Facility”), which are classified as current in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 2009. Management approached ComVest in early March 2010 with an offer to modify the Credit Facility. If needed, the Chairman has provided Management with a financial commitment for up to $11 Million for the 2010 year. As a result, Management believes that the cash on hand, cash generated from operations, and the 2010 financial commitment from the Chairman, will be sufficient to fund operations through fiscal 2010.

Asset Purchase Agreement.

Air-Tight Marketing and Distribution, Inc.

On July 1, 2008, Lapolla entered into and closed an Amended and Restated Asset Purchase Agreement (“Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Air-Tight Marketing and Distribution, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“AirTight”) and its stockholders, Larry P. Medford and Ted J. Medford (“Shareholders”), wherein the Company agreed to pay $1,500,000 in cash, issue 2,000,000 shares of restricted common stock, par value $.01, valued at $1,480,000 (calculated from the number of shares times the Lapolla closing price per share of $.74 on the date of closing), and forgive an outstanding trade receivable balance of $1,419,649 due from AirTight on the date of the closing, in exchange for certain assets and liabilities of AirTight. The Company paid $100,000 in cash at closing and issued a promissory note totaling $1,400,000 to AirTight and the AirTight Shareholders, payable in installments on the last day of each calendar year until paid in full by December 31, 2012.  A contingency payment of $150,000 is included in the promissory note which is payable if certain AirTight sales goals are met during the period ended December 31, 2012.  Lapolla undertook efforts to audit the financial statements of AirTight in accordance with SEC rules and prior to completion of the audit determined based on the preliminary findings that certain adjustments needed to be made to the AirTight financial statements as originally presented to Lapolla. Lapolla notified the AirTight Shareholders of the adjustments and recorded a purchase price reduction equal to the amount due under the promissory note in accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement and promissory note as of December 31, 2008. During 2009, Lapolla and the AirTight Shareholders settled their differences with respect to the purchase price reduction and Lapolla added back $270,258 under the promissory note, of which $90,086 was paid in December 2009, leaving a balance due of $180,172 under the promissory note.  The $150,000 contingency will be recorded when it is more likely than not that the agreed upon AirTight sales goals will be met. Lapolla purchased AirTight’s customer base which includes commercial and residential spray foam insulation contractors. The basic assets purchased from AirTight include, but are not limited to, trademarks, customer list, Shareholder non-competes, inventories, equipment, accounts receivable, and goodwill. The results of AirTight’s operations have been included in Lapolla’s financial statements since July 1, 2008. The following table summarizes the components of the adjusted AirTight purchase:

Purchase Price Allocation

The AirTight purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill. The goodwill acquired in the AirTight acquisition is not deductible for federal income tax purposes. The Company believes the fair values assigned to the AirTight assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on reasonable assumptions. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
 
         
Current Assets
  $ 1,113,823  
Property, Plant and Equipment
    363,934

    (1,862,525 )

    (329,152 )
Total
  $ 3,269,907  

The $150,000 contingency under the promissory note is not included in the above table and will be recorded when it is more likely than not that the agreed upon AirTight sales goals will be met. In connection with the allocation of the adjusted purchase price by Lapolla, $1,700,000 was attributed to Other Intangible Assets, of which $700,000 was assigned to trade names (15 year useful lives), $790,000 was assigned to the customer list (5 year useful life), and $210,000 was assigned to the Shareholder and sales force non-competes (5 year useful lives). The $2,283,827 of goodwill was assigned to the Foam segment.

Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement and Related Agreements.

Background

The Company entered into a Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement on February 21, 2007 with ComVest, which has been amended from time to time (“Loan Agreement”), under which ComVest agreed to loan up to $9,500,000 under a revolving credit note (“Revolving Credit Note”) and $3,000,000 under a convertible term note (“Convertible Term Note”), and Lapolla agreed to issue certain warrants (“Warrants”) to ComVest and register the underlying shares issuable under the Convertible Term Note and the Warrants. On June 30, 2008, the Company and ComVest amended and restated the Loan Agreement, Revolving Credit Note, and Convertible Term Note, amended the existing Warrants, and issued a new warrant.  The modified debt instruments were recorded at fair value of $851,917 on June 30, 2008. The modified debt’s effective interest rate is approximately 30%. The resulting discounts, as noted below, are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the term of the agreements. A brief summary of certain terms and conditions of the ComVest agreements described above are provided below.

Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement and Related Agreements - continued.

A.  Loan Agreement – The Loan Agreement contains certain material repayment covenants relating to the Revolving Credit Note (triggered by a Borrowing Base calculation less than the balance outstanding) and Convertible Term Note (triggered by failure to make principal repayments) (collectively, the “Notes”), as well as a limitation on the amount of capital expenditures the Company is allowed to make ($500,000 for 2009 and 2010), which if not complied with by the Company, would be considered an event of default. If a repayment event of default were to occur under the Notes, and said event of default was not timely cured, whether by waiver by ComVest or otherwise by the Company, the financial obligations outstanding under the Notes, at the option of ComVest, could be accelerated and become immediately due and payable by the Company to ComVest. See also B - Revolving Credit Note and C – Convertible Term Note below for more information.

B.  Revolving Credit Note – Under the Revolving Credit Note, as amended and restated, ComVest agreed to provide the Company with a secured revolving credit facility, from June 30, 2008 to August 31, 2010, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed, at any time outstanding, the lesser of (i) the borrowing base (an amount determined by a detailed calculation equal to 85% of eligible accounts receivable, plus 50% of eligible inventory) provided to ComVest, or (ii) $9,500,000.  The Revolving Credit Note bears interest according to a coverage ratio formula with a coverage ratio ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 and Prime rate ranging from Prime plus 1% to Prime plus 0% (8.5% at December 31, 2008). The coverage ratio formula is defined as the ratio of (i) EBITDA minus capital expenditures paid in cash, to (ii) Debt Service, in each case for the fiscal quarter ending on the date of the subject financial statements and calculation, and (b) the term “Prime Rate” shall mean the “base rate” of interest publicly announced by Citibank, N.A. At December 31, 2009, the Borrowing Base calculation was $8,366,830 and after subtracting the balance outstanding of $8,530,191 under the Revolving Credit Note, an amount of $163,361 was due to ComVest. ComVest permitted the Company to transfer the $163,361 due to ComVest under the Revolving Credit Note to the Convertible Term Note to ensure that the Company was in accord with its borrowing base calculation on December 31, 2009.  Unamortized discount was $438,357 at December 31, 2009.

C.  Convertible Term Note - The Convertible Term Note, as amended and restated, was increased to $3,000,000, bears interest at 10% per annum, the principal is payable (i) in thirteen (13) equal monthly installments of $83,333.33 each, due and payable on the first day of each calendar month commencing July 1, 2009 and continuing through and including August 1, 2010, and (ii) in the final installment due and payable on August 31, 2010 in an amount equal to the entire remaining principal balance, and is convertible optionally by ComVest at any time or mandatorily by Lapolla subject to satisfaction of certain conditions to common stock at the rate of $.77 per share. The Convertible Term Note is personally guaranteed by the Chairman of the Board. If any of the installments are not met by the Company, the Chairman’s personal guarantee would then take affect. At December 31, 2009, the balance outstanding under the Convertible Term Note was $2,500,000 and unamortized discount was $264,163.

D.  Warrants - The Warrants are for the purchase of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of common stock, of which 1,500,000 are exercisable at a price of $.60 per share and 1,000,000 are exercisable at a price of $.78 per share, expire on June 30, 2013, and have an aggregate fair value of $2,065,886.

E.  Registration Rights – The Company determined that no liability was recognizable at December 31, 2009 for registration payment arrangements based on the fact that the Registration Statement was effective at December 31, 2009.

Note 11.
Derivatives and Fair Value.

The Company has evaluated the application of GAAP with respect to the embedded conversion feature associated with the ComVest Convertible Term Note and associated Warrants to purchase common stock and determined these instruments were required to be accounted for as derivatives as of January 1, 2009 due to the down round protection feature on the conversion price and the exercise price. The Company records the fair value of these derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value with changes in the values of these derivatives reflected in the statements of operations as “Gain (Loss) on Derivative Liabilities.”  These derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments under GAAP and are disclosed on the balance sheet under “Derivative Liabilities”. At December 31, 2009, all of the Company’s derivative liabilities were categorized as Level 3 fair value assets.

Level 3 Valuation Techniques

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.  Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the embedded conversion feature and freestanding warrants that contain down round provisions for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. We have valued the embedded conversion feature and the freestanding warrants using a lattice model, with the assistance of a valuation consultant, for which management understands the methodologies. This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as assumptions about future financings, volatility, and holder behavior as of January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009. The primary assumptions include projected annual volatility of 145% and holder exercise targets at 135% of the conversion price for the Convertible Term Note and 150% of exercise price for the warrants, decreasing as the warrants approach maturity. The fair value of the derivatives as of January1, 2009 upon implementation of EITF 07-05 was estimated by management to be $890,289. Amounts previously recorded to paid-in capital associated with these derivatives of $1,555,420 were reversed and the remaining $665,131 was recorded as a cumulative adjustment to accumulated deficit. The fair value of the derivatives as of December 31, 2009 was estimated to be $571,864. The foregoing assumptions are reviewed quarterly and subject to change based primarily on management’s assessment of the probability of the events described occurring. Accordingly, changes to these assessments could materially affect the valuation.

(i)  Executive Employment Agreement.  The Adams Agreement commenced on May 18, 2009 and ends December 31, 2011 (“Term”). Mr. Adams’ base salary is $175,000 per year.  He is entitled, upon consummation of a change in control, to a transaction bonus of 1.5% of the transaction value. If Mr. Adams’ employment is terminated by the Company without cause during the Term, he is entitled to: (a) severance equal to six (6) months annual base salary, (b) the product of any Awards which Mr. Adams can show that he reasonably would have received had he remained in such executive capacity with the Company through the end of the period covered by the Award, or six (6) months after the Date of Termination, whichever period is greater, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Award Period up to the Date of Termination occurs through the Date of Termination and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Award Period, but only to the extent not previously vested, exercised and/or paid, and (c) for six (6) months following the Date of Termination, Company shall continue to provide medical and dental benefits only to Mr. Adams on the same basis as such benefits are provided during such period to the senior executive officers of Company. If Mr. Adams’ employment is terminated following a change in control, he is entitled to: (a) an amount equal to the annual base salary which would otherwise be payable over the remaining term of his agreement; and any outstanding Awards (including substituted shares of the acquiring or surviving Company in the case of a merger or acquisition) held by him or other benefits under any Company plan or program, which have not vested in accordance with their terms will become fully vested and exercisable at the time of such termination.
 
(ii)  Stock Option Agreement.  The Adams Option commenced on May 18, 2009 (“Grant Date”) and ends December 31, 2015. Mr. Adams was granted 300,000 stock options (“Options”) under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (“Equity Plan”), for the purchase of common stock, at an exercise price of $.35 per share (equal to 100% of closing price of Company’s common stock as traded on the NASDAQ OTCBB on the Grant Date) which vests only upon a change in control. The Options granted automatically vest thirty (30) days prior to consummation of a Change in Control.  The determination of whether or not a Change in Control will take place will be made by the full Board of Directors.  Once vested, the Options are immediately exercisable.

(f)   On June 30, 2008, Mr. Kurtz, Chairman of the Board and majority stockholder, pursuant to the Loan Agreement with ComVest, converted $2,000,000 in principal of the short term loans he advanced to the Company during the second quarter of 2008 into 2,564,103 shares of restricted common stock at the rate of $.78 per share.

(g)   On May 5, 2008, the Company entered into a new Executive Employment Agreement (“Kramer Agreement”) and Stock Option Agreement (“Kramer Option”) with Mr. Kramer, CEO and President, both of which are summarized below.

(i)  Executive Employment Agreement.  The Kramer Agreement commenced on May 5, 2008 and ends December 31, 2010 (“Term”). Mr. Kramer’s base salary is $350,000 per year.  He is entitled, upon consummation of a change in control, to a transaction bonus of 6% of the transaction value. If Mr. Kramer is terminated by the Company without cause or Mr. Kramer terminates his employment with good reason during the Term, he is entitled to: (a) severance equal to the lesser of 24 months base salary or base salary for the remainder of the Term, (b) the product of the value of any equity based awards which he can show he reasonably would have received had he remained employed by the Company through the end of that calendar year, or 4 months after the termination date, whichever is greater, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the calendar year in which the date of termination occurs through the termination date and the denominator is 365, but only to the extent not previously vested, exercised and/or paid, and (c) 12 months of continuous health and dental benefits. If Mr. Kramer is terminated following a change in control, he is entitled to: (a) his base salary for the remainder of the Term, and (b) any outstanding awards, including stock options, which have not vested will become fully vested and exercisable at the time of such termination. The Kramer Agreement also includes nonsolicitation, noncompetition, and ownership of developments and other rights provisions. This Kramer Agreement supersedes the previously entered into executive employment agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Kramer effective as of July 25, 2005 and ending on January 31, 2009.

(ii)  Stock Option Agreement.  This Kramer Option commenced on May 5, 2008 (“Grant Date”) and ends December 31, 2013. Mr. Kramer was granted an additional 2,000,000 stock options under the Company’s Equity Plan, for the purchase of common stock, at an exercise price of $.74 per share (equal to 100% of closing price of Company’s common stock as traded on the NASDAQ OTCBB on Grant Date) which vests in 250,000 option increments, with the first increment vesting on the earlier of June 30, 2008, provided the Company has net pre-tax income for the fiscal quarter ending on that date, or the last day of the Company’s first fiscal quarter ending after June 30, 2008 for which the Company has a quarterly profit, and each of the remaining increments on the last day of each the next seven fiscal quarters for which the Company has a quarterly profit, and once vested, is exercisable on an inclining cumulative basis over a four year period, subject in all cases to continued satisfactory employment through the last day of each such quarter, and expiring December 31, 2013 (“New Option”). The New Option amended existing stock options previously granted on July 12, 2005 also for 2,000,000 shares, at an exercise price of $.67 per share (100% of closing price), and expiring December 31, 2012 (“Existing Option”). There were 480,000 options vested and 1,520,000 options remaining unvested under the Existing Option, and the unvested portion automatically vested when the New Option was granted on May 5, 2008. Although the 2,000,000 options under the Existing Option are now fully vested, the exercise restrictions were amended to be the same as those described above for the New Option. As a result, the Company recorded the remaining fair value of the Existing Option prior to the modification of $258,371, including the incremental increase in fair value due to the modification of the Existing Option as of the modification date of $6,242, for a total of $264,613 on said date.

Share–Based Payment Arrangements - continued.

Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s Equity Plan, which is shareholder-approved, permits the grant of share options and shares to eligible participants for up to 10,000,000 shares of common stock. The purpose of the Equity Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its stockholders by providing an incentive to attract, retain and reward employees, directors and consultants performing services for the Company and by motivating such persons to contribute to the growth and profitability of the Company. The Equity Plan provides, among other things, financial performance measures upon which specific performance goals applicable to certain awards would be based and limits on the numbers of shares or compensation that could be made subject to certain awards. Option awards are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock at the date of grant.  Share options and shares may provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control.

The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Because lattice-based valuation models incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs, those ranges are disclosed. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of options granted is derived from the output of the valuation model and represents the periods that options granted are expected to be outstanding; the range given below results from certain groups of employees exhibiting different behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Warrants

The Company did not issue any warrants during 2009.  During 2008, the Company issued 1,000,000 new, and modified the exercise price on the previously issued and remaining 1,500,000 warrants, in connection with the amended and restated Loan Agreement with ComVest. The fair value of the warrants, when issued or modified, was established on the date of grant or modification. The fair values were calculated using a lattice-based valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Because lattice-based valuation models incorporate ranges of assumptions for inputs, those ranges are disclosed. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of the warrants is derived from the output of the valuation model and represents the period of time that the warrants are expected to be outstanding.

Note 20.
Business Segment Information.

The Company is a leading manufacturer and supplier operating two segments: Foam and Coatings. The Company’s segments are organized based on manufacturing competencies.

The Foam segment primarily supplies both roofing and building envelope insulation applications. Roofing applications consist of foam and coatings systems in new and retrofit commercial and industrial applications. Insulation is used in commercial and industrial, as well as residential, applications. We manufacture our own roofing and wall insulation foams. Additionally, this segment also supplies polyurethane as an adhesive for board stock insulation to roofing substrates for commercial and industrial applications, sundry items, and application equipment.

The Coatings segment primarily supplies a variety of protective coatings for roofing systems for new and retrofit commercial and industrial applications, as well as residential, applications. Additionally, this segment also supplies caulking for general application in the construction industry, and sundry items. We manufacture our own roof coatings.

After our acquisition of AirTight’s assets in July 2008, we began making and selling our own spray rigs, which are required for the application of our foam and large scale coating jobs. This is a basic assembly operation and we undertake this task to provide turn key service to our customers. Prior to the acquisition of AirTight’s assets, we were just a distributor of spray rigs. We allocate these amounts to either our foam or coatings segments, as applicable.

The Company maintains centralized manufacturing operations in Houston, Texas for its Foam and Coatings, and Rutledge, Georgia for its spray rigs.  Each of the businesses in which the Company is engaged is highly competitive. However, diversification of products within these segments and national, including limited international, markets served tends to minimize the impact on the Company’s total sales and earnings of changes in demand for a particular product.  The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The Company allocates resources to segments and evaluates the performance of segments based upon reported segment income before income taxes. A substantial amount of administrative expenses are allocated to the segments. The portion not allocated to the segments represents the unallocated cost of certain corporate expenses and are included in Unallocated Amounts. There are no intersegment sales or transfers.

The following are selected results of reportable segments:
