PART I

 

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Cybex International, Inc. (the “Company” or “Cybex”), a New York corporation, is a manufacturer of exercise equipment and develops, manufactures and markets strength and cardiovascular fitness equipment products for the commercial and, to a lesser extent, consumer markets. The Company operates in one business segment.

Products

The Company develops, manufactures and markets high performance, professional quality exercise equipment products for the commercial market and, to a lesser extent, the premium segment of the consumer market. These products can generally be grouped into two major categories: cardiovascular products and strength systems.

The Company’s products are of professional quality and are believed to be among the best in the category in which they compete, featuring high performance and durability suitable for utilization in health clubs or by professional athletes. Accordingly, the majority of the Company’s products are premium priced.

The contribution to net sales of the Company’s product lines over the past three years is as follows (dollars in millions):

“Cybex”, “Eagle”, “VR3” and “Arc Trainer” are registered trademarks of Cybex, and “Big Iron,” “Bravo”, “Cyclone-S”, “CX-445T”, “FT-360”, “FT-450”, “Home Arc”, “Jungle Gym”, “LCX-425T”, “MG525”, “Pro3”, “Safety Sentry”, and “VR1” are trademarks of Cybex.

Cardiovascular Products. The Company’s cardiovascular equipment is designed to provide aerobic conditioning by elevating the heart rate, increasing lung capacity, endurance and circulation, and burning body fat. The Company’s cardiovascular products include cross trainers, treadmills, bikes and steppers. All of the Company’s cardiovascular products incorporate computerized electronics which control the unit and provide feedback to the user. All of the cardiovascular products, except the Home Arc, can be equipped with optional TV monitors that feature controls integrated into the control console, with an incremental list price of approximately $1,600.

Cross Trainers. Cybex Arc Trainer is a product designed to provide the user with more and varied training potential. It provides motions that vary from gliding to climbing. Its brake design provides resistance up to 900 Watts in the commercial version to meet the demands ranging from the casual user to the athlete. The 750AT and 750A Arc Trainers use a control console that is based on the 750T treadmill console, facilitating cross-use of these products. The 750AT Total Body Arc Trainer retains all of the functionality of the original Arc Trainer and adds upper body motion to provide for total body training. The Company also produces the 425A Arc Trainer for the light commercial and high-end consumer markets and the 360A Arc Trainer for the consumer market. The Arc Trainers’ list prices range from $3,495 to $7,995.

 

2


Treadmills. The Company has four treadmill models, the 750T, Pro3, CX-445T, and LCX-425T. The LCX-425T is a high-end consumer and light commercial product while the other models are for the commercial market. Each treadmill model is motorized and incorporates computerized electronics controlling speed, incline, display functions and preset exercise programs. The electronics also provide displays to indicate speed, elevation, distance, time, pace and a variety of other data. All of the treadmills include a complete diagnostic suite that can be accessed through the display, which is useful in the maintenance of the product. The CX-445T, Pro3 and 750T also include an innovative safety feature known as Safety Sentry which causes the treadmill to stop once it detects inactivity with the user. All treadmills are equipped with contact heart rate monitoring and deck suspension system and include wireless heart rate monitoring capabilities. The CX-445T and Pro3 are scheduled for phase out in early 2011. The Company anticipates introducing two new treadmills in early 2011, the 625T and 770T. The Company’s treadmills have list prices ranging from $4,795 to $7,895.

Bikes. The Company has two bikes, the 750C Upright Cycle and 750R Recumbent Cycle. These bikes feature improved ergonomics including a walk-through design on the recumbent model as well as improved ease of use and an exceptionally broad resistance range with multiple resistance modes. These products are designed to allow any users to receive the maximum benefit in minimum time. The console design is based on that of the 750T, 750A and 750AT to provide a common method of operation. The list price of the upright bike is $3,495 and the recumbent bike is $3,695.

Steppers. The Company has one model of stepper targeting the commercial marketplace. The Cyclone-S Stepper features the family display common to the Pro3 as well as an advanced ergonomic handrail design, contact and Polar heart rate monitoring and patented drive system. The list price of the Cyclone-S is $3,395.

Strength Training Products. Strength training equipment provides a physical workout by exercising the musculo-skeletal system. The Company’s strength training equipment uses weights for resistance. This product line includes selectorized single station equipment, jungle gyms, modular multi-station units, the MG525 multi-gym, functional trainers, plate-loaded equipment and free-weight equipment.

Selectorized Equipment. Selectorized single station equipment incorporates stacked weights, permitting the user to select different weight levels for a given exercise by inserting a pin at the appropriate weight level. Each selectorized product is designed for a specific muscle group with each product line utilizing a different technology targeted to facility and user type.

The Company’s selectorized equipment is sold under the trademarks “VR1”, “VR3” and “Eagle.” The VR1 line represents a value-engineered line suitable for smaller general-purpose facilities and as an entry line in larger facilities. This 20 piece line was introduced in 2007 as a replacement for the VR line. Eight new dual function machines intended for use in smaller facilities were added in 2008 and 2009. The VR3 line is a 23 piece line designed for exceptional ease of use in fitness facilities. Eagle represents the Company’s premier line and features a complete scope of use; it features ease-of-use as well as patented and patent pending technologies to meet the needs of performance oriented individuals and facilities. The Company currently sells 74 selectorized equipment products under the above lines with list prices between $2,725 and $7,295.

Modular Units. The Jungle Gym provides facilities with a multi-station, configurable design for essential movements. The pricing of the Jungle Gym depends on configuration. The list price of a typical Jungle Gym is $12,135.

Multi-gym. The Company introduced the MG525 in early 2010, replacing an earlier model. The multi-gym uses considerably less space than multiple selectorized single station equipment. It contains three weight stacks to meet the needs of the vertical commercial market, especially hotels, corporate fitness centers and other small-scale locations. This product has a list price of $5,995.

Functional Trainers. The FT-360 was phased out in late 2010. The Bravo (originally the FT-450) was introduced in late 2008 as a successor to the FT-360. The Bravo extends the capabilities of functional training through the ability to vary the width of the cables and to add stabilization in a progressive manner. The Company has added four additional configurations targeted to rehabilitation and sports performance markets. These products have a list price ranging from $6,195 to $7,395.

Plate Loaded Equipment. The Company manufactures and distributes a wide range of strength equipment which mimics many of the movements found on its selectorized machines but are manually loaded with weights. These are simple products which allow varying levels of weight to be manually loaded. In 2009, the Company introduced eight updated models while phasing out earlier products. The Company currently offers 18 plate-loaded products, ranging in price from $1,425 to $4,065.

Free-Weight Equipment. The Company also sells free-weight benches and racks and complements them with OEM supplied dumbbells, barbells and plates. In 2010, the Company added the Big Iron line of free-weight products targeted at collegiate and professional athletic performance training. The Company offers 31 items of free-weight equipment with list prices ranging from $425 to $5,895.

Customers and Distribution

The Company markets its products to commercial customers and to individuals interested in purchasing premium quality equipment for use in the home. A commercial customer is defined as any purchaser who does not intend the product for home use. Management estimates that consumer sales represent less than 10% of 2010 net sales. Typical commercial customers are health clubs, hotels, resorts, spas, educational institutions, sports teams, sports medicine clinics, military installations, golf clubs, corporate fitness and community centers. Sales to Cutler-Owens International Ltd., an independent authorized dealer, represented 13.0%, 13.6% and 12.3% of the Company’s net sales for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Sales to Planet Fitness Equipment, LLC represented 12.4%, 10.6%, and 10.2% of the Company’s net sales for 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Sales to Snap Fitness, Inc. or its franchisees represented 4.1%, 7.4% and 12.9% of the Company’s net sales for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. No other customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales for 2010, 2009 or 2008.

The Company distributes its products through independent authorized dealers, its own sales force, international distributors and its e-commerce web site (www.cybexinternational.com). The Company services its products through independent authorized dealers, international distributors, a network of independent service providers and its own service personnel.

Independent authorized dealers operate independent stores specializing in fitness-related products and promote home and commercial sales of the Company’s products. The operations of the independent dealers are primarily local or regional in nature. In North America, the Company publishes dealer performance standards which are designed to assure that the Company brand is properly positioned in the marketplace. In order to qualify as an authorized dealer, the dealer must, among other things, market and sell Cybex products in a defined territory, achieve sales objectives, have qualified sales personnel, and receive on-going product and sales training. As of March 1, 2011, the Company has approximately 63 active dealers with 116 locations in North America. The Company’s domestic sales force services this dealer network and sells direct in regions not covered by a dealer and in specialty markets, such as the military/government, fire departments, golf clubs or universities. The domestic sales team is comprised of 39 positions including territory managers or reps, regional or national account managers, Assistant Vice Presidents, and a Senior Vice President.

The national account team focuses on major market segments such as health clubs and gyms, hotels, resorts, the U.S. government and organizations such as YMCAs, as well as third party consultants which purchase on behalf of such national accounts. The Company has approximately 25 national accounts.

Sales outside of North America accounted for approximately 31%, 29% and 28% of the Company’s net sales for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The international sales force consists of 14 positions including a Senior Vice President, a Vice President of Europe Business Development, regional sales managers, country sales managers, a director of International Training, a Director of Communications, an operations coordinator and a European Group Sales Administrator. The Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cybex UK, directly markets and sells Cybex products in the United Kingdom. Cybex UK has 14 employees. The Company utilizes independent distributors for the balance of its international sales. There are approximately 67 independent distributors in 74 countries currently representing Cybex. The Company enters into international distributor agreements with these distributors which define territories, performance standards and volume requirements.

Additional information concerning the Company’s international sales and assets located in foreign countries is located in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company markets certain products by advertising in publications which appeal to individuals within its targeted demographic profiles. In addition, the Company advertises in trade publications and participates in industry trade shows. The Company has retained Greg Norman to engage in marketing of the Company’s products, specifically to the golf club market.

The Company offers leasing and other financing options for its commercial customers. The Company arranges financing for its dealers and direct sale customers through various third party lenders for which it may receive a fee. Management believes that these activities produce incremental sales of the Company’s products.

Warranties

All products are warranted for one year of labor and up to ten years for structural frames. Warranty periods for parts range from one to ten years depending on the part and type of equipment. The Company also provides extended warranties on its cardiovascular products. Warranty expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $3,547,000, $4,940,000 and $4,361,000, respectively.

Competition

The market in which the Company operates is highly competitive. Numerous companies manufacture, sell or distribute exercise equipment. The Company currently competes primarily in the premium-performance, professional quality equipment segment of the market. The Company’s competitors vary according to product line and include companies with greater name recognition and more extensive financial and other resources than the Company.

Important competitive factors include price, product quality and performance, diversity of features, warranties and customer service. The Company follows a policy of premium quality and differentiated features which results in products having suggested retail prices at or above those of its competitors in most cases. The Company currently focuses on the segment of the market which values quality and is willing to pay a premium for products with performance advantages over the competition. Management believes that its reputation for producing products of high quality and dependability with differentiated features constitutes a competitive advantage.

Product Development

Research and development expense for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $5,569,000, $4,545,000 and $6,603,000, respectively. At December 31, 2010, the Company had the equivalent of 38 employees engaged in ongoing research and development programs. The Company’s development efforts focus on improving existing products and developing new products, with the goal of producing user-friendly, ergonomically and biomechanically correct, durable exercise equipment with competitive features. Product development is a cross functional effort of sales, marketing, product management, engineering and manufacturing, led by the Company’s Senior Vice President of Research and Development.

Manufacturing and Supply

The Company maintains two vertically integrated manufacturing facilities equipped to perform fabrication, machining, welding, grinding, assembly and finishing of its products.

The Company manufactures treadmill and bike cardiovascular products in its facility located in Medway, Massachusetts and manufactures the cross trainers and strength equipment in its facility located in Owatonna, Minnesota. Raw materials and purchased components are comprised primarily of steel, aluminum, wooden decks, electric motors, molded or extruded plastics, milled products, circuit boards for computerized controls, video monitors and upholstery. These materials are assembled, fabricated, machined, welded, powder coated and upholstered to create finished products.

The Company’s stepper, multi-gym, and Home Arc products are manufactured for the Company in Taiwan.

The Company single sources its stepper, multi-gym and Home Arc products and certain raw materials and component parts, including drive motors, belts, running decks, molded plastic components, electronics and video monitors, where it believes that sole sourcing is beneficial for reasons such as quality control and reliability of the vendor or cost. The Company attempts to reduce the risk of sole source suppliers by maintaining varying levels of inventory. However, the loss of a significant supplier, or delays or disruptions in the delivery of components or materials, or increases in material costs, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

The Company manufacturers most of its strength training equipment on a “build-to-order” basis which responds to specific sales orders. The Company manufactures its other products based upon projected sales in addition to a “build to order” basis.

Backlog

Backlog historically has not been a significant factor in the Company’s business.

Patents and Trademarks

The Company owns, licenses or has applied for various patents with respect to its products and has also registered or applied for a number of trademarks. While these patents and trademarks are of value, management does not believe that it is dependent, to any material extent, upon patent or trademark protection.

Insurance

The Company’s product liability insurance currently provides an aggregate of $10,000,000 of annual coverage on a claims made basis ($5,000,000 annual coverage for claims made prior to December 1, 2008). These policies include a deductible of $250,000 on claims made after December 1, 2008 with an annual aggregate deductible of $1,000,000 (for claims made prior to December 1, 2008, a $100,000 deductible with an annual aggregate deductible of $750,000). Reserves for self insured retention, including claims incurred but not yet reported, are included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

Governmental Regulation

The Company’s products are not subject to material governmental regulation.

The Company’s operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment. The Company regularly monitors and reviews its operations and practices for compliance with these laws and regulations, and management believes that it is in material compliance with such environmental

 

6


laws and regulations. Despite these compliance efforts, some risk of liability is inherent in the operation of the business of the Company, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses, and there can be no assurance that the Company will not incur material costs in the future for environmental compliance.

Employees

On March 1, 2011, the Company employed 552 persons on a full-time basis. None of the Company’s employees are represented by a union. The Company considers its relations with its employees to be good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

The risk factors identified in the cautionary statements below could cause our actual results to differ materially from those suggested in the forward-looking statements appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. However, these risk factors are not exhaustive and new risks may also emerge from time to time. It is not possible for management to predict all risk factors or to assess the impact of all risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results.

We are subject to a product liability jury verdict substantially in excess of our insurance coverage and beyond our capacity to pay. On December 7, 2010, the jury in the Barnhard v Cybex International, Inc. product liability suit returned a $66 million verdict, apportioned 75% to Cybex, 20% to a non-affiliated co-defendant and 5% to the plaintiff. Under New York law, Cybex would be responsible for payment of 95% of any judgment entered on this verdict and may then seek to collect 20% of such judgment from the co-defendant. Our available insurance coverage for this matter as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $2,900,000. See Item 3, Part 1 below and Note 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for a more detailed description of this matter. We intend to vigorously pursue all available options to seek a reversal or reduction of the verdict and any judgment that is ultimately entered on the verdict. However, any appeals we make in this matter may be denied. In addition, we may be required to post a bond in a significant amount, up to the full amount of the judgment, in order to obtain a stay of enforcement of the judgment during the pendency of our appeals, and there is no assurance that we will have the financial ability to obtain such a bond. We do not have the resources to a satisfy our obligations if the plaintiff is ultimately able, either due to our inability to post a bond or the failure of our appeals, to enforce a judgment in this matter unless the judgment is substantially reduced from the jury verdict. Even if we have the financial ability to obtain a bond or to pay a reduced judgment, such events could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, liquidity, financial condition and cash flows. The uncertainties of this matter may also negatively affect the willingness of others, including our customers, vendors and lenders, to do business with us. The above factors have caused our independent registered public accountants to include an explanatory paragraph in their opinion on our consolidated financial statements included herein stating that this matter raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Failure to comply with our credit facilities could have a material adverse effect upon us. We failed to meet certain financial covenants contained in our credit facilities at March 28 and June 27, 2009. We obtained waivers from each lender for the quarters then ended, and we also renegotiated our financial covenants with our lenders.

 

7


In March, 2011, our financial covenants were further amended and we are currently in compliance with our credit facilities. A failure to remain in compliance with our credit facilities could result in a number of consequences, such as our lenders requiring all indebtedness to be paid or our revolving lender refusing to extend further revolving loans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects or financial condition.

Our revolving credit facility matures on July 1, 2011. Our revolving credit facility matures on July 1, 2011, prior to which time we anticipate it will be extended or refinanced. However, there is no assurance that such extension or refinancing will be available or, if available, that it will be on favorable terms. If we are unable to extend or refinance the revolving credit facility, we would not have available to us working capital loans. While we have not utilized the revolving credit facility for working capital financing since 2009, the failure to have revolving credit availability could result in insufficient sources of liquidity to meet our obligations.

We have incurred losses. We incurred net losses in the last three fiscal years. In 2008 we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $11,247,000, resulting in a net loss for the year. An approximate 19% decline in our 2009 net sales compared to the prior year was a substantial contributor to our 2009 net loss. In 2010, we incurred $45,991,000 in pre-tax litigation charges, related to the product liability jury award discussed above, and a $12,665,000 incremental tax provision, primarily due to the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets as a result of the uncertainty of realization caused by the litigation charge, resulting in a net loss of $58,237,000 for the year. If we are unable to maintain our profitability and we incur losses in the future, such losses could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, liquidity, financial condition and cash flows.

General economic conditions affect our results. Demand for our products is affected by economic conditions and consumer confidence. In times of economic uncertainty, our customers, particularly commercial customers such as fitness clubs, may become cautious in making expansion and other investments and may reduce their capital expenditures for items such as the fitness equipment offered by us. In addition, economic conditions could make it more difficult for us to collect amounts as they become due to us. While our net sales in 2010 were 2% above prior year results, net sales for 2009 and 2010 were approximately 19% and 17%, respectively, below 2008 net sales. We believe that this sales decline largely reflected our customers’ caution in making capital investment decisions due to economic conditions, both generally and in the fitness industry. If these economic conditions persist or further deteriorate, our ability to generate future revenues and earnings and our business prospects, liquidity and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

We depend upon our ability to successfully develop, market and sell new or improved products. Our continued growth and ability to remain competitive will substantially depend upon our development of new or improved products. A failure to develop new or improved products on a timely basis, or which are accepted in the marketplace, or which produce appropriate sales or profit margins, could adversely affect our ability to generate future revenues and earnings and have a negative impact on our business prospects, liquidity and financial condition.

Increases in raw material costs, or the unavailability of raw materials or components, could adversely affect us. Increases in our cost of raw materials could have a material effect on our profitability. We currently source our Home Arc, multi-gym and stepper and certain raw materials and component parts (e.g., drive motors, belts, running decks, molded plastic components and electronics) from single suppliers. Current economic conditions may make it more likely that our suppliers are unable to deliver supplies which we require on a timely basis or at all. The loss of a significant supplier, or delays or disruptions in the delivery of raw materials or components, could adversely affect our ability to generate future revenues and earnings and have a material adverse effect on our business and financial results.

We are subject to product liability claims that may exceed our insurance coverage. As a manufacturer of fitness products, we are inherently subject to the hazards and uncertainties of product liability litigation. We have maintained, and expect to continue to maintain, product liability insurance, and we include reserves for self

 

8


insured retention in accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. While we believe that our current insurance coverage is adequate, we may be subject to product liability claims which assert damages materially in excess of the limits of our insurance coverage. In December 2010, a significant jury verdict was rendered in a product liability suit, discussed above, which substantially exceeds our available insurance coverage. It is possible that the Company could be subject to other product liability judgments or settlements which materially exceed the available insurance coverage and related reserves.

We have been involved in a number of other litigation matters and expect legal claims in the future. In recent years we have been involved in a number of other litigation matters, including with respect to intellectual property rights and contractual disputes. We expect that we will continue to be involved in litigation in the ordinary course of business. While we maintain reserves for estimated litigation costs and losses, one or more adverse determinations or excessive costs in litigation affecting us could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, liquidity, financial condition and cash flows.

Our failure or inability to protect our intellectual property from misappropriation or competition could adversely affect our business prospects. Our intellectual property aids us in competing in the exercise equipment industry. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, such as through patent, trade secret and trademark protection, unauthorized parties may try to copy our products, or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our rights to as great an extent as U.S. law. Furthermore, the patents and trademarks which we have obtained or may seek in the future may not be of a sufficient scope or strength to provide meaningful economic or competitive value. Our rights and the additional steps we have taken to protect our intellectual property may not be adequate to deter misappropriation, and we also remain subject to the risk that our competitors or others will independently develop non-infringing products substantially equivalent or superior to our products. We also may not be able to prevent others from claiming that our products violate their proprietary rights. If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, or if we are sued for infringing another party’s intellectual property, our business, financial condition, results of operation or cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

We principally use two facilities to produce our products and a material business disruption at either facility could significantly impact our business. Most of our products are manufactured or assembled in two vertically integrated facilities located in Massachusetts and Minnesota. These facilities house all our manufacturing operations and our executive offices. We take precautions to safeguard our facilities, including obtaining insurance, maintaining safety protocols and using off-site storage of computer data. However, a natural disaster, such as an earthquake, fire or flood, or an act of terrorism or vandalism, could cause substantial disruption to our operations, damage or destroy our manufacturing equipment, information systems or inventory and cause us to incur substantial additional expenses. The insurance we maintain against disasters may not cover or otherwise be adequate to meet our losses in any particular case. Any disaster which prevents operations in either of our facilities for any extended period may result in decreased revenues and increased costs and could significantly harm our operating results, financial condition, cash flows and prospects.

The loss of a major customer could adversely affect us. In 2010 sales to one independent authorized dealer represented 13.0% of our net sales and sales to an end user customer represented 12.4% of net sales. These customers represented 9.5% and 6.7%, respectively, of our accounts receivable as of December 31, 2010. The concentration of customers may increase our overall exposure to credit risk. The loss or significant reduction in the business of a major customer, or a major customer experiencing financial difficulty, could significantly harm our operating results, financial condition, cash flows and prospects.

We rely on third party dealers and distributors to sell and service a significant portion of our products. In 2010, more than half of our total net sales were to our independent authorized dealers in North America and to independent distributors internationally. These third party dealers and distributors may terminate their relationships with us, or fail to commit the necessary resources to sell or service our products to the level of our

 

9


expectations. If current or future third party dealers or distributors do not perform adequately, or if we fail to maintain our existing relationships with them or fail to recruit and retain dealers or distributors in particular markets or geographic areas, our revenues may be adversely affected and our operating results could suffer.

Our major stockholders may exercise effective control over us. John Aglialoro, Joan Carter and UM Holdings Ltd., who are related parties, collectively own approximately 49.5% of our outstanding common stock. Such stockholders may have the ability to significantly influence (i) the election of our Board of Directors, and thus our future direction and (ii) the outcome of all other matters submitted to our stockholders, including mergers, consolidations and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

We face strong competition. The fitness equipment industry is highly competitive. Numerous companies manufacture, sell or distribute exercise equipment. Our competitors include companies with strong name recognition and more extensive financial and other resources than us.

We carry debt. We carry long-term debt. This leverage may have several important consequences, including the need to meet debt service requirements and vulnerability to changes in interest rates. This leverage may also limit our ability to raise additional capital, withstand adverse economic or business conditions and competitive pressures, and take advantage of significant business opportunities that may arise.

Warranty claims may exceed the related reserves. We warrant our products for varying periods of up to ten years. While we maintain reserves for warranty claims, it could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, liquidity, financial condition and cash flows if warranty claims were to materially exceed anticipated levels.

We may have a liability related to the arrangement of third party financing. We offer to our customers leasing and other financing of products by third party providers, for which we may receive a fee. While most of these financings are without recourse, in certain cases we may offer a guaranty or other recourse provisions. At December 31, 2010, our maximum contingent liability under all recourse provisions was approximately $5,691,000. While we maintain a reserve for estimated losses under these recourse provisions, it could have a material adverse effect on our business prospects, liquidity, financial condition and cash flows if actual losses were to materially exceed the related reserve.

We are currently not in compliance with, and may be unable to regain or maintain compliance with, NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements. On January 21, 2011, we received notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) that we no longer meet the NASDAQ’s continued listing requirement because our common stock traded below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The notification of non-compliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our securities on the NASDAQ Global Market. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive business days prior to July 20, 2011. In addition to NASDAQ’s $1.00 minimum bid price rule, there are a number of other continued listing requirements that we must satisfy in order to maintain our listing on NASDAQ, and there is no assurance we will regain and maintain compliance with the NASDAQ continued listing standards. The delisting of our common stock from trading on NASDAQ could have a significant negative effect on the market for, and liquidity and value of, our common stock.

Unfavorable international political or economic changes and/or currency fluctuations could negatively impact us. Approximately 31% and 29% of our sales in 2010 and 2009, respectively, were derived from outside North America. Political or economic changes and/or currency fluctuations in countries in which we do business could negatively impact our business and financial results, including decreases in our revenues and profitability.

We may not be able to attract and retain key employees and the loss of any member of our senior management could negatively affect our business. We compete for the services of qualified personnel. Our future success will depend upon, to a significant degree, the performance and contribution of the members of senior

 

10


management and upon our ability to attract, motivate and retain other highly qualified employees with technical, management, marketing, sales, product development, creative and other skills. Although we do have employment agreements with our executive officers, there can be no assurance that such officers will continue to perform under those contracts. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected if we lost the services of members of our senior management team or key technical or creative employees or if we failed to attract additional highly qualified employees.

Future issuances of preferred stock may adversely affect the holders of our common stock. Our Board has the ability to issue, without approval by the common stockholders, shares of one or more series of preferred stock, with the new series having such rights and preferences as the Board may determine in its sole discretion. Any series of preferred stock may have rights, including cumulative dividend, liquidation and conversion rights, senior to our common stock, which could adversely affect the holders of the common stock, as well as the economic value of the common stock.

A variety of factors may discourage potential take-over attempts. John Aglialoro, Joan Carter and UM Holdings Ltd., who are related parties, collectively own approximately 49.5% of our outstanding common stock. In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation requires an affirmative super-majority stockholder vote before we can enter into certain defined business combinations, except for combinations that meet certain specified conditions; provides for staggered three-year terms for members of the Board of Directors; and authorizes the Board of Directors to issue preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of such preferred stock without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Each of these factors could have the effect of discouraging potential take-over attempts and may make attempts by stockholders to change our management more difficult.

In the event we are unable to satisfy regulatory requirements relating to internal control over financial reporting, or if these internal controls are not effective, our business and financial results may suffer. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial reports and effectively prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed. Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish a report by management on internal control over financial reporting, including management’s assessment of the effectiveness of such control. Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or if we experience difficulties in their implementation, our business and operating results could be harmed, we could fail to meet our reporting obligations, and there could also be a material adverse effect on our stock price.

The Company’s manufacturing facilities are equipped to perform fabrication, machining, welding, grinding, assembly and powder coating of its products. These facilities are well maintained and kept in good repair. Management believes that the Company’s facilities are adequate for its operations for the foreseeable future.

Additional information concerning the financing of the Company’s facilities are described in Notes 7 and 14 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Product Liability

As a manufacturer of fitness products, the Company is inherently subject to the hazards and uncertainties of product liability litigation. The Company has maintained, and expects to continue to maintain, product liability insurance, and it includes reserves for self insured retention in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. While the Company believes that its insurance coverage is adequate in light of the risks of product liability claims and awards, the Company may be subject to product liability claims which assert damages materially in excess of the limits of its insurance coverage. In December 2010, a jury verdict in the Barnhard v Cybex International, Inc. product liability suit, discussed below, apportioned a significant amount of liability to the Company, which substantially exceeds the Company’s available insurance coverage. It is possible that the Company could be subject to other product liability judgments or settlements which materially exceed the available insurance coverage and related reserves.

Litigation and Contingencies

Barnhard v. Cybex International, Inc., et al.

This product liability litigation was commenced in 2005 in the Supreme Court, Eighth District, State of New York. The plaintiff, who was rendered a quadriplegic after she pulled a Cybex weight machine over onto herself, asserted that Cybex was at fault for the accident due to the design of the machine and a failure to warn. On December 7, 2010, the jury returned a $66 million verdict, apportioned 75% to Cybex, 20% to co-defendant Amherst Orthopedic Physical Therapy, P.C. and 5% to the plaintiff. Under New York law, Cybex would be responsible for payment of 95% of any judgment entered on this verdict and may then seek to collect 20% of such judgment from the co-defendant.

In January 2011 the Company filed post-trial motions, seeking, alternatively, judgment in its favor as a matter of law, a new trial and a reduction of the verdict. In February 2011, the trial court denied these motions, and the Company thereafter filed an appeal from this post-trial order with the Appellate Division, Fourth Judicial Department. At the date of this Report, no judgment has been entered on the verdict. Interest does not begin to accrue on this judgment until after it has been entered. The Company intends to vigorously pursue all available options to seek a reversal or reduction of the verdict and any judgment that is ultimately entered.

United Leasing, Inc. v. Cybex International, Inc., et al.

The Company on February 25, 2009 was served with an Amended Complaint which added the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cybex Capital Corp. (collectively with the Company referred to herein as Cybex), as additional defendants in this action originally venued in the Circuit Court for Williamson County, State of Tennessee. The plaintiff, United Leasing, Inc., provided a series of lease financings for the sale of Cybex equipment to a purchaser/lessee which has since entered bankruptcy, many of which sales were made by an independent dealer, also a defendant in the action. The plaintiff alleged that it was induced to finance in excess of

 

12


the purchase price for certain of the equipment based primarily upon alleged rebates to the purchaser/lessee made by the independent dealer. Cybex Capital assisted in the lease financing and the plaintiff asserted that Cybex participated in the alleged scheme and was liable for any resulting damages.

During March 2009, this action was removed to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, and Cybex filed an Answer denying all material allegations of the Amended Complaint, other than admitting limited guarantees of certain of the leases at issue had been provided.

In January 2011, the parties entered into a settlement agreement. Pursuant to this settlement, Cybex paid to the plaintiff the sum of $937,500, the parties provided cross-releases of all claims and the litigation has been dismissed with prejudice.

The Company is involved in certain other legal actions, contingencies and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these other matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Legal fees related to those matters are charged to expense as incurred.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT FOR FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

Statements included in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations may contain forward-looking statements. There are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by the statements made below. These include, but are not limited to, the resolution of litigation involving us, our ability to comply with the terms of our credit facilities, competitive factors, technological and product developments, market demand, and economic conditions. Further information on these and other factors which could affect our financial results can be found in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Part I of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW AND OUTLOOK

We are a New York corporation that develops, manufacturers and markets high performance, professional quality exercise equipment products for the commercial market and, to a lesser extent, the premium segment of the consumer market.

We estimate that commercial sales represent more than 90% of our total net sales. Our financial performance can be affected when, in times of economic uncertainty, our commercial customers, particularly fitness clubs, become cautious in making expansion and other capital investments and reduce their expenditures for items such as the fitness equipment offered by us.

Our net sales began to decline commencing with the fourth quarter of 2008, with net sales in 2009 and 2010 approximately 19% and 17%, respectively, below 2008 net sales. We believe that this sales decline largely reflects our commercial customers, particularly fitness clubs, being cautious in making capital investments due to economic conditions, both generally and in the fitness industry.

Our sales began to recover in 2010, with 2010 net sales approximately 2% above 2009 net sales. This improvement in sales accelerated throughout the year, with sales in the second and third quarters of 2010 essentially flat compared to net sales for the corresponding 2009 periods and fourth quarter 2010 net sales almost 15% above fourth quarter 2009 results. While we believe that this trend may reflect improving economic and industry conditions as well as our marketing and new product initiatives, there is no assurance that the improved sales trend will continue. We also cannot be certain the extent that other factors, such as the product liability verdict discussed below or changes in economic conditions, will affect our financial performance.

We took various steps to reduce expenses in response to the decline in our sales. These steps included a first quarter 2009 work force reduction of about 5% and a wage reduction of 3% or 5% for all employees in effect from the second quarter 2009 to December 31, 2009. In addition, at the request of our outside Board members, a 5% reduction in director fees was in effect during the period of the employee wage reduction. We intend to monitor general economic conditions and our sales performance and, if warranted, may implement further cost saving measures.

On December 7, 2010, the jury in the Barnhard product liability suit returned a $66 million verdict, apportioned 75% to Cybex, 20% to a non-affiliated co-defendant, and 5% to the plaintiff. Under New York law, Cybex would be responsible for payment of 95% of any judgment entered on this verdict and may then seek to collect 20% of such judgment from the co-defendant. Our available insurance coverage for this matter as of December 31, 2010 was approximately $2,900,000. See Item 3, Part 1 of this Report and Note 14 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included herein for a more detailed description of this matter. We intend to vigorously pursue all available options to seek a reversal or reduction of the verdict and any judgment that is ultimately entered on the verdict, and we will seek a stay of enforcement of any judgment during the appellate process. Such a stay may require the posting of a bond in a substantial amount, up to the full amount of the

 

18


judgment. While we will ask the Court to issue such a stay with a limited or no bonding requirement, there is no assurance we will be successful in this regard or that we will have the financial ability to secure a bond at a level required by the Court. The requirement to post a bond in a significant amount, even if at a level within our capacity to secure, could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, financial condition and business prospects. If we are unable to obtain a required bond, the plaintiff would be able to immediately enforce the judgment before we are able to fully pursue our appeal. We do not have the capital resources or liquidity to satisfy our obligations if the plaintiff is ultimately able, either due to our inability to post a bond or the failure of our appeal, to enforce a judgment in this matter that has not been substantially reduced from the jury verdict.

The report of our independent registered public accountants on our consolidated financial statements contained in this Report on Form 10-K includes an explanatory paragraph stating that the Barnhard jury verdict raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements that are included herein do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We believe that we were not at fault in the accident that is the basis of the plaintiff’s claims and accordingly that this case was wrongly decided as to liability. In addition, we believe that the amount of damages awarded by the jury is grossly overstated. Our strategy to resolve the doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern is to vigorously contest the outcome of the Barnhard jury verdict through post trial proceedings and appeal, in order to obtain a reversal or substantial reduction of the award.

The foregoing statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially. In particular, the uncertainties created by the jury verdict discussed above, and the continued uncertainties in U.S. and global economic conditions and in the fitness industry, make it particularly difficult to predict future events and may preclude us from achieving expected results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth selected items from the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a percentage of net sales:

NET SALES

Our net sales increased $2,487,000, or 2%, to $122,961,000 in 2010 compared with a $27,455,000, or 19%, decrease in 2009 compared to 2008.

 

19


The increase in 2010 was attributable to increases in sales of cardiovascular products of $2,658,000, or 4% to $69,362,000 and increased freight, parts and other sales of $801,000, or 7% to $12,579,000, offset by decreases in sales of strength products of $972,000, or 2% to $41,020,000. We believe that the overall increase in sales is reflective of improving economic conditions as well as our marketing and new product initiatives.

The decrease in 2009 was attributable to decreases in sales of cardiovascular products of $10,074,000, or 13% to $66,704,000, strength training products of $16,181,000, or 28% to $41,992,000 and freight, parts and other sales of $1,200,000, or 9% to $11,778,000. The sales decline was generally throughout our product offerings and we believe was reflective of economic conditions, generally and in the fitness industry.

Sales outside of North America represented 31%, 29% and 28% of consolidated net sales in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

GROSS MARGIN

Gross margin was 36.5% in 2010, compared with 29.9% in 2009 and 32.4% in 2008. Margins increased in 2010 due to higher selling prices (2.3%), favorable product mix (1.2%), lower warranty costs (1.2%), lower component costs (.9%), lower obsolescence expense (.9%) and lower manufacturing costs (.1%).

Margins decreased in 2009 due to higher material costs (2.3%) as a percentage of sales due primarily to higher steel costs and product and customer mix, higher warranty costs (1.2%), and higher overhead as a percentage of sales mainly due to lower volumes (.8%). These decreases in margin were partially offset by lower labor costs as a percentage of sales (1.1%) and improvements in freight billings compared to freight costs (.7%).

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses, including bad debt expense, increased by $4,392,000, or 12% in 2010 to $42,072,000 compared to a decrease of $4,641,000, or 11%, in 2009. As a percentage of net sales, these expenses were 34%, 31% and 28% in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

The 2010 increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was predominantly due to higher sales and marketing costs ($3,551,000) including initiatives directed to new markets, higher sales compensation and advertising costs.

The 2009 decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was predominantly due to a decrease in domestic and international selling expenses ($2,879,000) and a decrease in product development costs ($2,058,000) and was the result of various cost reductions we effectuated during 2009 in response to economic conditions.

LITIGATION CHARGE

The litigation charge for the year ended December 31, 2010 relates to an unfavorable jury verdict in the Barnhard product liability suit. See Note 14 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT CHARGE

At December 31, 2008, we tested our goodwill for impairment and performed the initial step of our impairment evaluation by comparing the fair market value of our single reporting unit, as determined using market capitalization, as adjusted for a control premium, to its carrying value. As the carrying amount exceeded the fair value, the second step of the impairment evaluation was performed to calculate impairment, and as a result a goodwill impairment charge of $11,247,000, the entire amount of the goodwill carrying value, was recorded effective December 31, 2008, with no corresponding tax benefit. The primary reason for the impairment charge was the reduction in our market capitalization resulting from the sustained decline of our stock price during the second half of 2008.

 

20


INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

Net interest expense decreased by $14,000, or 1%, in 2010 to $1,260,000 compared to an increase of $98,000, or 8%, in 2009. During 2010, interest expense decreased due to lower interest rates on the new equipment facility offset by higher interest earned in 2009 from a financing program. During 2009, interest expense increased due to a higher applicable interest rate resulting from debt modifications, offset by lower average borrowings.

INCOME TAXES

We recorded, as of December 31, 2010, an increase in the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets of $30,656,000 to fully offset our deferred tax assets of $32,158,000. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded to the extent it cannot be determined that the realization of these assets is more likely than not. Due to the uncertainty created by an unfavorable product liability jury verdict (see Note 14 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements), we determined that a valuation allowance against the entire amount of our deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2010 is necessary. We recorded an income tax expense (benefit) of $13,761,000 (including the increase in the valuation allowance), ($509,000) and $2,333,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. The effective tax (benefit) rate was 72.3% in 2010 excluding the litigation charge and related tax expense, (17.3%) in 2009 and 51.9% in 2008 before the non-deductible goodwill impairment charge. The tax (benefit) rates in each year are affected by non-deductible foreign losses, and the percentage that these losses represent of our results for the year causes large fluctuations in our tax (benefit) rates. Actual cash outlays for taxes continue to be reduced by the available operating loss carryforwards and credits.

As of December 31, 2010, U.S. federal operating loss carryforwards of approximately $15,462,000 were available to us to offset future taxable income and, as of such date, we also had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $5,871,000, federal alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of $700,000 and federal research and development tax credit carryforwards of $352,000.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of December 31, 2010, we had negative working capital of $26,611,000 compared to positive working capital of $21,107,000 at December 31, 2009. The net decrease in working capital is primarily due to the net liability accrued for the non-cash Barnhard litigation charge of $46,792,000, as well as the use of cash for capital expenditures and the reduction of long-term debt, partially offset by the net cash provided by operating activities in 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, we generated $4,192,000 of cash from operating activities compared to $7,219,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities in 2010 compared to 2009 is primarily due to increases in accounts receivable and inventories in 2010 compared to decreases in 2009, partially offset by net income excluding the litigation charge and related tax expense generated in 2010 compared to a net loss in 2009.

Cash used in investing activities of $2,240,000 in 2010 consisted of purchases of manufacturing tooling and equipment of $1,443,000, primarily for the manufacture of new products, and computer hardware and infrastructure of $797,000. Cash used in investing activities of $613,000 during 2009 consisted of purchases of manufacturing tooling and equipment of $312,000, primarily for the manufacture of new products, and computer hardware and infrastructure of $301,000. While 2011 capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $3,500,000, the timing and amount of these expenditures will depend on economic conditions, the results of our operations and our other cash needs.

 

21


For the year ended December 31, 2010, cash used in financing activities of $1,801,000 consisted primarily of $5,863,000 in repayment of the Wells Fargo Bank, NA (“Wells Fargo”) term loans and $933,000 of principal payments on the Citizens real estate loan, offset by $4,999,000 advanced under the Citizens equipment facility. For the year ended December 31, 2009, cash used in financing activities of $1,355,000 consisted primarily of net term loan payments of $882,000 and $451,000 for the purchase of treasury stock through a repurchase program.

We have credit facilities with RBS Citizens, National Association and RBS Asset Finance, Inc. (collectively, “Citizens”). Our Citizens Credit Agreement provides a revolving line of credit of up to the lesser of a ceiling or an amount determined by reference to a borrowing base. Our Citizens Loan Agreement provided for a $13,000,000 real estate loan which was advanced in 2007 to finance the acquisition of our Owatonna facility. Our Citizens equipment facility has provided $4,999,000 of equipment lease financing, the proceeds of which were used in June 2010 to retire equipment term loans and related obligations to Wells Fargo. The Citizens real estate loan and revolving line of credit are secured by substantially all of our assets. The Citizens equipment facility is secured by our equipment, is cross-collateralized by our accounts receivable and inventory and matures on July 1, 2015. The Citizens real estate loan matures on July 2, 2014. The Citizens revolving line of credit matures July 1, 2011. While there can be no assurance, we anticipate that the line will either be extended or replaced prior to that date.

At December 31, 2010, there were no outstanding revolving credit loans, a $11,223,000 real estate loan and $4,586,000 outstanding under the Citizens equipment facility. Availability under the revolving loan fluctuates daily. At the date of this Report, the availability under the revolving line of credit is $2,000,000.

Our credit facilities include financial covenants. These financial covenants were amended in March 2011, permitting us to remain in compliance with them as of December 31, 2010. We believe that we will remain in compliance with our financing agreements throughout 2011, provided that there is a stay of execution of any judgment issued on the Barnhard verdict which continues throughout the period. While there can be no assurance, we do not believe it is probable that the judgment will be enforced without a stay of execution pending our appeals, or that we will be required to post a bond in excess of an amount acceptable to the bank, which would constitute events of default, during at least calendar 2011.

We rely upon cash flows from our operations and borrowings under our credit facilities to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements. As discussed above under the caption “Overview and Outlook”, the Barnhard jury verdict creates uncertainties as to whether our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our obligations. In addition to these uncertainties, a decline in sales or margins or a failure to remain in compliance with the terms of our credit facilities or to extend the maturity date of our revolving line of credit could result in having insufficient funds for our working capital and capital expenditure needs. However, we believe that our cash flows and the availability under our credit facilities are sufficient to fund our general working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next 12 months, provided that there is a stay of enforcement of any judgment issued on the Barnhard verdict which continues throughout the period.

As of December 31, 2010, we had approximately $21,333,000 in U.S. Federal and non-U.S. net operating loss carry forwards, substantially all of which will be available to offset future taxable income. These losses do not include the charge relating to the unfavorable jury verdict in the Barnhard matter, as it is not currently deductible for income taxes.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP RESULTS

The following tables set forth certain financial information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010 excluding the 2010 litigation charge and the related tax impact. This presentation is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and the tables include a reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results. We believe that the non-GAAP statement of operations data is a beneficial supplemental disclosure in analyzing and assessing our operating performance, exclusive of the effects of the litigation charge and related increase in valuation allowance, and to provide a basis for reviewing our operating performance on a consistent basis for the periods presented. We also believe that the non-GAAP balance sheet data is beneficial supplemental disclosure in analyzing and assessing changes in our financial condition, exclusive of the effects of the litigation charge and related tax impact. In addition, management utilizes this information in analyzing our performance and for planning purposes.

This table does not include any amounts that may be payable related to the Barnhard v. Cybex International, Inc. matter described in Item 3, Legal Proceedings. At the date of this Report, no judgment has been entered on the verdict. The Company intends to vigorously pursue all available options to seek a reversal or reduction of the verdict and any judgment that is ultimately entered.

We have agreements with our named executive officers that provide for severance payments to the officer in the event the employee is terminated without cause or, in certain situations, the officer resigns after a change in control. As further described in Note 14, Employment Agreements, to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the maximum cash exposure under these agreements is $2,495,000 as of December 31, 2010. The actual amounts to be paid can only be determined at the time of the executive officer’s separation from the Company.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have a lease financing program, whereby we arrange equipment leases and other financing for certain commercial customers for selected products. These leases are sales-type leases and are generally for terms of three to five years, at which time title transfers to the lessee. While most of these financings are without recourse, in certain cases we may offer a guaranty or other recourse provisions. At December 31, 2010, the maximum contingent liability under all recourse provisions was approximately $5,691,000. A reserve for estimated losses under recourse provisions of $818,000 has been recorded based upon historical experience, and is included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2010.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended guidance addressing revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. This new guidance establishes a new hierarchy for allocating revenues among multiple deliverables in a multi-element arrangement. In order of preference, revenues will be allocated based on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE), third-party evidence, or estimated selling price. Additional disclosures are required to describe the effects of adoption, including changes in how arrangement consideration is allocated or in the pattern and timing of revenue recognition. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and the Company elected to early adopt for new or materially modified arrangements entered into on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

 

24


In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to require new disclosures regarding (1) transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and (2) activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, this guidance clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2010 and included the appropriate disclosures in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts, realizability of inventory, reserves for warranty obligations, reserves for legal matters and product liability, and valuation of deferred tax assets. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, which could materially impact the Company’s results of operations and financial position. These critical accounting policies and estimates have been discussed with the Company’s audit committee.

Allowance for doubtful accounts. Management performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. Management continuously monitors collections and payments from customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. If the financial condition of a specific customer or the Company’s general customer base were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Realizability of inventory. The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or market. Management regularly reviews inventory quantities on-hand and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on estimated forecasts of product demand and historical usage, after considering the impact of new products. If actual market conditions and product demand are less favorable than projected, additional inventory write-downs may be required.

Warranty reserve. All products are warranted for one year of labor and up to ten years for structural frames. Warranty periods for parts range from one to ten years depending on the part and the type of equipment. A warranty liability is recorded at the time of product sale based on estimates that are developed from historical information and certain assumptions about future events. Future warranty obligations are affected by product failure rates, usage and service costs incurred in addressing warranty claims. These factors are impacted by the level of new product introductions and the mix of equipment sold to the commercial and consumer markets. If actual warranty costs differ from management’s estimates, adjustments to the warranty liability would be required.

 

25


Legal matters. The Company will record a reserve related to certain legal matters for which it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the range of such loss can be determined. With respect to other matters, management has concluded that a loss is only possible or remote and, therefore, no loss is recorded. As additional information becomes available, the Company will continue to assess whether losses from legal matters are probable, possible, or remote, and the adequacy of accruals for probable loss contingencies.

Product liability reserve. Due to the nature of its products, the Company is involved in certain pending product liability claims and lawsuits. The Company maintains product liability insurance coverage subject to deductibles. Reserves for self-insured retention, including claims incurred but not yet reported, are included in accrued liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, based on management’s review of outstanding claims and claims history and consultation with its third-party claims administrators. The Company records a reserve for the self insured retention portion of product liability matters for which it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the range of the loss can be determined. The Company records a reserve and a corresponding insurance receivable if the amount of the product liability exposure is recoverable from the Company’s insurance carrier. If actual results vary from management’s estimates, adjustments to the reserve would be required. See Notes 5 and 14 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further discussion on product liability.

The Company, as of December 31, 2010, recorded a $62,696,000 litigation reserve as a current liability pertaining to the Barnhard jury verdict and a corresponding litigation related receivable of $15,904,000 representing the amount recoverable from the co-defendant in the matter and the estimated amount recoverable under the Company’s insurance policies. The Company also accrued $947,000 and $3,054,000, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for product liability claims and a corresponding receivable for the liability claims estimated to be recoverable under the Company’s insurance policies. This product liability claims accrual is included as a component of other liabilities and the insurance recoverable is included as a component of other assets at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009. On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews and adjusts each product liability claim and corresponding receivable. The change in accrual for product liability claims and the corresponding receivable from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010 primarily relates to the insured settlement of a product liability claim during the first quarter of 2010.

Valuation of deferred tax assets. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets if it is more-likely-than-not that such assets will not be realized. At December 31, 2010, there is a valuation allowance of $32,158,000, which reduces our net deferred tax assets to zero. Approximately $82,500,000 of future taxable income is needed to fully recognize the Company’s deferred tax assets. If the estimates and related assumptions relating to the likely utilization of the deferred tax asset change in the future, the valuation allowance may change accordingly.

 

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge its exposure to interest rate changes and also to reduce volatility of its financing costs. Under these swaps the Company agrees with a counterparty to exchange the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate interest amounts based on agreed notational principal amounts. These agreements are considered highly effective as cash flow hedges for a portion of the Company’s variable debt, and hedge accounting is used to account for these instruments.

The Company has an interest rate swap which effectively converts the Citizens real estate loan in the amount of $11,223,000 at December 31, 2010 from a floating rate to a fixed rate of 8.25% to 8.75% based on a performance grid throughout the duration of the loan. See Notes 8 and 9 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for further discussion of these instruments. A change in interest rates would not materially impact the Company’s interest expense because the interest rate swap effectively converts the majority of the Company’s outstanding debt to fixed rate debt.

Foreign Currency Rates

The Company at times uses foreign currency forward contracts to hedge its foreign currency exposure on sales made in the UK in British Sterling. There were no foreign currency forward contracts outstanding at December 31, 2010.   Foreign currency fluctuations do not have a significant impact on the business because most purchases and sales are denominated in US dollars.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Cybex International, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cybex International, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and comprehensive loss, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule as listed in the accompanying index. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cybex International, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 and Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements, a December 2010 jury verdict in a product liability suit apportions a significant amount of liability to the Company. The Company does not have the resources to satisfy a judgment in this matter that has not been substantially reduced from the jury verdict, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to this matter are described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

CYBEX INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1—BACKGROUND AND GOING CONCERN

Cybex International, Inc. (the “Company” or “Cybex”), a New York corporation, is a manufacturer of exercise equipment and develops, manufactures and markets strength and cardiovascular fitness equipment products for the commercial and, to a lesser extent, consumer markets. Most of the Company’s products are sold under the brand name “Cybex.” The Company operates in one business segment.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. On December 7, 2010, a jury verdict in a product liability suit apportioned a significant amount of liability to the Company (see Note 14). The Company does not have the resources to satisfy its obligations if the plaintiff is ultimately able to enforce a judgment in this matter that has not been substantially reduced from the jury verdict, which raises substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company believes that it was not at fault in the accident that is the basis of the plaintiff’s claims in this product liability litigation and accordingly that this case was wrongly decided as to liability. In addition, the Company believes that the amount of damages awarded by the jury was overstated. The Company’s strategy to resolve the doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern is to vigorously contest the outcome of this jury verdict through post trial proceedings and appeal, in order to obtain a reversal or substantial reduction of the award.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, warranty reserve, reserves for legal and product liability matters, recoverability of long-lived assets and valuation of deferred tax assets are the items that are most susceptible to changes in estimates.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company’s cash equivalents consisted of a money market account. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Trade Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is management’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s

CYBEX INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

existing accounts receivable. Management determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and a specific review of past due balances over a specified amount. Management reviews the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Cost includes materials, labor and manufacturing overhead.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Betterments and improvements are capitalized while repairs and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is recorded using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes. The estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes are 25 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 10 years for furniture and equipment.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying value of the assets to the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets. If a write down were necessary, an impairment charge would be recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value, as determined based upon quoted market prices or discounted cash flows. Management believes that no long-lived assets were impaired as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Goodwill

At December 31, 2008, the Company performed the initial step of its impairment evaluation by comparing the fair market value of its single reporting unit to its carrying value. As the carrying amount exceeded the fair value, the second step of the impairment evaluation was performed to calculate impairment, and as a result a goodwill impairment charge of $11,247,000, the entire amount of the goodwill carrying value, was recorded during 2008, with no corresponding tax benefit. The primary reason for the impairment charge was the reduction in the Company’s market capitalization resulting from the sustained decline of the Company’s stock price during the second half of 2008.

Accrued Warranty Obligations

All products are warranted for one year of labor and for parts ranging from one to ten years depending on the part and the type of equipment. Warranty expense was $3,547,000, $4,940,000 and $4,361,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The accrued warranty obligation is provided at the time of product sale based on management estimates, which are developed from historical information and certain assumptions about future events and are subject to change. The amount expected to be paid in the following year is classified in accrued liabilities.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

 

The following table sets forth the changes in the liability for product warranties for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:

 

     Year Ended December 31,  
     2010     2009  

Balance as of January 1

   $ 3,988,000      $ 4,054,000

Accrual for product warranties issued

     3,547,000        4,940,000   
                

Balance as of December 31

   $ 3,392,000      $ 3,988,000   
                

Derivatives

At December 31, 2010, derivative instruments include one interest rate swap that hedges variable rate interest payments.

See Notes 7, 8 and 9 for further discussion of this financial instrument.

Translation of Foreign Currencies

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiary, whose functional currency is its local currency, is translated at year-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The adjustment resulting from translating the financial statements of such foreign subsidiary is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders’ equity.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term debt and derivative instruments. The carrying values of cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. Based on the terms of the Company’s debt instruments that are outstanding as of December 31, 2010, the carrying values are considered to approximate their respective fair values.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recorded when products are shipped and the Company has no significant remaining obligations, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collection of the relevant receivable is probable. The Company does not offer its customers a right of return, price protection or inventory rotation programs. The Company classifies amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling as sales. Direct shipping and handling costs are classified as cost of sales. Internal salaries and overhead related to shipping and handling are classified as selling, general and administrative expense. Sales tax collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are accounted for on a net basis and therefore are excluded from revenues in the consolidated statements of operations.

Concentration of Risk, Geographic Segment Data and Enterprise-Wide Disclosures

More than half of the Company’s net sales are through specialty fitness dealers and distributors. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade

accounts receivable. Sales to one customer in 2010, 2009 and 2008 were 13.0%, 13.6% and 12.3% of net sales, respectively. Accounts receivable from that customer was $1,779,000 and $1,025,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Sales to another customer in 2010, 2009, and 2008 were 12.4%, 10.6%, and 10.2% of net sales, respectively. Accounts receivable from that customer was $1,265,000 and $2,364,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Sales to a third customer or its franchisees in 2010, 2009 and 2008 were 4.1%, 7.4% and 12.9% of net sales, respectively. Accounts receivable from that customer and its franchisees were less than $200,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009. No other single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales in any of those years.

There is no single geographic area of significant concentration other than the U.S. Sales outside of North America accounted for approximately 31%, 29% and 28% of total net sales for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Long-lived assets located in foreign countries totaled $20,000 and $36,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company single sources its stepper, Home Arc and multi-gym products and certain raw materials and component parts, including drive motors, belts, running decks, molded plastic components, video monitors and electronics, where management believes that sole sourcing is beneficial for reasons such as quality control and reliability of the vendor or cost. The Company attempts to reduce the risk of sole source suppliers by maintaining varying levels of inventory. However, the loss of a significant supplier, or delays or disruptions in the delivery of components or materials, or increases in material costs, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations.

The following table summarizes net sales over the past three years (in millions):

Income Taxes

The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more-likely-than-not that such assets will not be realized.

Net Loss per Common Share

The table below sets forth the reconciliation of the basic and diluted net loss per share computations:

     17,120,000        17,175,000        17,465,000   
                        

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, options to purchase 791,125, 577,375 and 674,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices ranging from $1.17 to $7.37, $1.20 to $7.37 and $1.22 to $7.37 per share, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as the result would be anti-dilutive.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, with such cost recognized over the period that the employee is required to perform services in exchange for the award. The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award based on the grant date fair value of the award. For 2010, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $219,000, consisting of expenses related to stock options ($205,000) and stock issued to directors ($14,000). For 2009, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $180,000, consisting of expenses related to stock options ($170,000) and stock to be issued to directors ($10,000). For 2008, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $235,000, consisting of expenses related to stock options ($166,000) and stock to be issued to directors ($69,000).

The weighted average fair value of each stock option granted during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008 was $0.77, $0.98 and $3.24, respectively. The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 

     Year Ended December 31  
     2010      2009      2008  

Risk free interest rate

Expected volatility—weighted average

     70%         69%         79%   

Expected volatilities are calculated based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock over the expected term of the option. Management monitors share option exercise and employee termination patterns to estimate forfeiture rates within the valuation model. The expected term of the option is derived from the Company’s historical stock option exercise experience as it is a relevant indicator of future exercise patterns. The risk free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on the U.S, Treasury yield curve with a term approximating the expected life of the option.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended guidance addressing revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. This new guidance establishes a new hierarchy for allocating revenues among multiple deliverables in a multi-element arrangement. In order of preference, revenues will be allocated based on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE), third-party evidence, or estimated selling price. Additional disclosures are required to describe the effects of adoption, including changes in how arrangement consideration is allocated or in the pattern and timing of revenue recognition. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and the Company elected to early adopt for new or materially modified arrangements entered into on or after January 1, 2009. The adoption did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance to require new disclosures regarding (1) transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 fair value measurements and (2) activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Additionally, this guidance clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2010 and included the appropriate disclosures in Note 9. The adoption of this guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 7—LONG-TERM DEBT (continued)

 

In July 2007, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Wells Fargo Loan Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, NA, formerly named Wachovia Bank, NA (“Wells Fargo”), which was supplemented and modified in March 2008, March 2009 and December 2009. The Wells Fargo Loan Agreement as supplemented and modified provided for three term loans, the proceeds of which financed the acquisition of machinery and equipment. $5,000,000 was advanced pursuant to the initial term loan, $1,975,000 was advanced pursuant to the second term loan and $1,000,000 was advanced pursuant to the third term loan. The Wells Fargo term loans were prepaid in full in June 2010 with the proceeds of the Citizens Equipment Facility. The Wells Fargo term loans were secured by the Company’s equipment.

In July 2008, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “Citizens Credit Agreement”) with Citizens, providing for a revolving line of credit of up to the lesser of a ceiling or an amount determined by reference to a borrowing base composed of designated percentages of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory. Availability under the revolving loan fluctuates daily based on the borrowing base. At the date of this Report, the availability under the revolving line of credit is $2,000,000. The Citizens revolving line of credit is available to July 1, 2011 and, while there can be no assurance, the Company anticipates that the line will either be extended or replaced prior to that date.

In June 2010, the Company entered into a Master Lease Agreement (the “Citizens Equipment Facility”) with an affiliate of Citizens, RBS Asset Finance, Inc. (referred to herein as “Citizens”), pursuant to which $4,999,000 of equipment lease financing was advanced. Proceeds of the advance were used to retire in full the Wells Fargo equipment term loans and related obligations. The Citizens Equipment Facility will be retired by 60 equal monthly payments of fixed rent plus interest. While the documentation for this transaction is structured as a lease, the advances under the facility are treated for all purposes as a loan secured by designated equipment owned by the Company. Amounts outstanding under the Citizens Equipment Facility are cross-collateralized by the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory.

The Citizens revolving line of credit prior to April 1, 2009 bore interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.25% or the prime rate minus 1%, from April 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009 bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%, and after such date bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% to 3.0% based on a performance grid. The Citizens real estate loan prior to April 1, 2009 bore interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.2% per annum, from April 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009 bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%, and after such date bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% to 3.0% based on a performance grid. The Wells Fargo initial and second term loans prior to April 1, 2009 bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.2% to 1.45% based on a performance grid and from April 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009 these loans bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%. The third Wells Fargo term loan prior to June 30, 2009 bore interest at LIBOR plus 2.25%. After June 30, 2009, each Wells Fargo term loan bore interest at LIBOR plus 3.5%. The Citizens Equipment Facility bears interest at a floating rate equal to LIBOR plus 3%. LIBOR was .26% at December 31, 2010.

There were no revolving loans outstanding during 2010. The average outstanding revolving loan balance during 2009 and 2008 was $859,000 and $468,000, respectively, and the weighted average interest rate was 1.77% and 4.20%, respectively. Interest expense on the revolving line of credit, including an unused availability fee on the revolving loans, was $25,000, $50,000 and $83,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Interest expense on the Wells Fargo term loans, which were retired at the end of the second quarter 2010, was $219,000, $332,000 and $267,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Interest expense on the Citizens real estate loan, including interest rate swap payments, was $973,000, $963,000, and $883,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Interest expense on the Citizens Equipment Facility, which was advanced at the end of the second quarter 2010, was $87,000 for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The Company’s credit facilities require the Company to maintain various financial covenants. The Company failed to meet certain of these covenants at the end of the first and second quarters of 2009, which failures were waived by the lenders. In connection with these waivers, the Company entered into amendments to its credit facilities. The Wells Fargo amendments increased the interest rate on the term loans, modified the financial covenants, and increased the collateral for the term loans to include all of the Company’s equipment. The Citizens amendments increased the interest rate on the credit facilities, cross-collateralized the Citizens credit facilities, reduced the ceiling and modified the borrowing base calculation for the revolving line of credit, and amended the financial and certain other covenants contained in the credit facilities. In June 2010, the Company, coincident with entering into the Citizens Equipment Facility, entered into a further amendment with Citizens, modifying a financial covenant in the Citizens Loan Agreement and Credit Agreement. In March 2011, the parties entered into further amendments to the Citizens credit facilities which further modified the financial covenants, thereby permitting the Company to remain in compliance with them as of December 31, 2010, and reduced availability under the revolving line of credit to $2,000,000. As a requirement of this amendment, the Company provided increased security for the credit facilities by granting a mortgage on the Company’s Medway, Massachusetts plant. The Company believes that it will remain in compliance with its financing agreements throughout 2011, provided that there is a stay of execution of any judgment issued on the Barnhard verdict which continues throughout the period. While there can be no assurance, the Company does not believe it is probable that the judgment will be enforced without a stay of execution pending its appeals, or that the Company will be required to post a bond in excess of an amount acceptable to the bank, which would constitute events of default, during at least calendar 2011 and, accordingly, the debt is classified pursuant to its contractual maturity dates.

The Company’s credit agreements contain cross default provisions to each other.

At December 31, 2010 long-term debt maturities are as follows:

 

2011

   $ 1,520,000

NOTE 8—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company uses certain financial derivatives to mitigate its exposure to volatility in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The Company uses these derivative instruments to hedge exposures in the ordinary course of business and does not invest in derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Foreign currency forward contracts are utilized at times to hedge the foreign currency exposure on sales made in the UK in British Sterling. The Company’s UK sales are denominated in British Sterling, while its purchases of inventory from the Company are paid in US dollars. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments and accordingly changes in their fair value are recognized in selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations. Interest rate swap agreements are utilized to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on certain debt. These agreements are currently designated as cash flow hedges, therefore, the effective portion of unrealized gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

In March 2007, the Company entered into a series of 13 monthly forward contracts that began on April 30, 2007, whereby the Company paid a bank 150,000 British Sterling and the bank paid the Company $290,000 each

month. In November, 2007, the Company entered into a series of 13 monthly forward contracts that began on May 30, 2008, whereby the Company paid a bank 150,000 British Sterling and the bank paid the Company $309,000 each month. This agreement was extended in February 2009 whereby the Company entered into a series of 10 monthly forward contracts that began on March 31, 2009, whereby the Company paid a bank 130,000 British Sterling and the bank paid the Company $214,000 each month. This series of contracts ended on December 31, 2009. No foreign exchange forward contracts were outstanding during 2010.

In June 2006, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement with Citizens which commenced on June 29, 2007 to hedge the LIBOR-based Citizens real estate loan. The notional amount of the swap amortizes based on the same amortization schedule as the Citizens Loan Agreement and the hedged item (one-month LIBOR) is the same as the basis for the interest rate on the loan. The swap effectively converts the rate from a floating rate based on LIBOR to a fixed rate which prior to April 1, 2009 equaled 6.95%, from April 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009 equaled 8.00% and after June 30, 2009 throughout the duration of the loan equals 8.25% or 8.75% based on a performance grid. The swap and interest payments on the debt settle monthly. The real estate loan and the swap both mature on July 2, 2014. There was no initial cost of the interest rate swap. The Company designates the interest rate swap as a hedging instrument and, accordingly, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of this swap are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

In November 2007, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo, which commenced on March 3, 2008, intended to hedge the initial LIBOR-based Wells Fargo term loan. The notional amount of the swap amortized based on the same amortization schedule as the initial Wells Fargo term loan and the hedged item (one-month LIBOR) was the same as the basis for the interest rate on the loan. The swap effectively converted the rate from a floating rate based on LIBOR to a fixed rate which prior to April 1, 2009 equaled 5.76% or 6.01% based on a performance grid, from April 1, 2009 to June 30, 2009 equaled 6.81% and after June 30, 2009 equaled 8.06%. The Company determined the interest rate swap qualified as a derivative hedging instrument and, accordingly, changes in the fair value of this swap were recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The interest rate swap was terminated in June 2010 in connection with the prepayment of the Wells Fargo term loans. There was no initial cost of the interest rate swap, and upon termination the Company paid $71,000 in settlement of the interest rate swap.

See Note 9—Fair Value of Financial Instruments for a description of how the above financial instruments are valued.

The Company is exposed to credit related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to these financial instruments. The counterparties to all derivative transactions are major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings, and although no assurances can be given, the Company does not expect any of the counterparties to fail to meet its obligations. The credit exposure related to these financial instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a positive fair value at the reporting date. Therefore the Company had no exposure to its counterparties as of December 31, 2010.

For the cash flow hedges referred to above, the amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified into earnings as the underlying hedged item affects earnings. The amount expected to be reclassified into pre-tax earnings in the next 12 months is $255,000. The timing of actual amounts reclassified into earnings is dependent on future movement in interest rates.

NOTE 9—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, long-term debt and derivative instruments (discussed below). The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. Based on the terms of the Company’s debt instruments that are outstanding as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, the carrying values are considered to approximate their respective fair values. See Note 7 for the terms and carrying values of the Company’s various debt instruments.

Stock Options

2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan

Cybex’s 2005 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) is designed to provide incentives that will attract and retain individuals key to the success of the Company through direct or indirect ownership of the Company’s common stock. The Omnibus Plan provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, performance awards and bonus stock purchase awards. The Company reserved 1,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to the Omnibus Plan. A registration statement has been filed for the Omnibus Plan and the Company provides newly-issued shares of registered common stock upon the exercise of options and upon stock grants under the Omnibus Plan.

The terms and conditions of each award are determined by a committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. Under the Omnibus Plan, the committee may grant either qualified or nonqualified stock options with a term not to exceed ten years from the grant date and at an exercise price per share that the committee may determine (which in the case of incentive stock options may not be less than the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant). The options generally vest over a three to five year period (with some cliff vesting).

1995 Omnibus Incentive Plan

The terms and conditions of grants of stock options under the 1995 Omnibus Incentive Plan were determined by a committee of the Board of Directors. Options outstanding under this plan were granted at exercise prices which were not less than the fair market value of a share of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant and were exercisable over a period not to exceed ten years from the original date of grant. No future grants may be made under this plan.

under the 2002 Plan which related to services performed in 2008, exhausted the authorized shares under the Plan, and the Board of Directors in February 2009 suspended its operation. The issuance of shares as partial payment of annual retainers resulted in expense being recognized based on the fair market value of such shares. At December 31, 2010, there are no shares available for future issuance pursuant to the 2002 Plan. The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $0, $0 and $60,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, related to the 2002 Plan. In January 2009, the Company issued 18,270 shares of common stock to the directors, which had a fair value of $60,000, related to directors fees earned in 2008, which were included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2008. In January 2008, the Company issued 16,157 shares of common stock to the directors, which had a fair value of $90,000, related to directors fees earned in 2007, which were included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2007.

CYBEX INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

NOTE 11—INCOME TAXES (continued)

 

The Company recorded an increase in the valuation allowance of $30,656,000 in 2010 to fully offset net deferred tax assets of $32,158,000 as of December 31, 2010. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded to the extent it cannot be determined that the realization of these assets is more likely than not. Due to the uncertainty created by the unfavorable jury verdict in a product liability suit (see Note 14), it was determined that a valuation allowance against the entire amount of deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2010 is necessary. As of December 31, 2010, approximately $82,500,000 of future taxable income is needed to fully realize the Company’s deferred tax assets. The difference between this figure and the net operating loss carryforwards and credits is primarily cumulative book versus tax differences related to various expenses.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, the United Kingdom and various state jurisdictions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, United Kingdom and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2005.

The Company has evaluated any uncertain tax positions in its federal income tax return, United Kingdom return and the state tax returns it is currently filing. The Company has also made an evaluation of the potential impact of additional state taxes being assessed by jurisdictions in which the Company does not currently consider itself liable. Based on this analysis, the Company has recorded an unrecognized tax liability.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending balance of the unrecognized tax liability is as follows:

 

     Year Ended December 31  
     2010     2009     2008  

Balance as of January 1

   $ 290,000     $ 249,000     $ 174,000  

Increases for tax positions related to the current year

     69,000       86,000       78,000  

Decreases for tax positions related to the prior year

     (26,000     (45,000     (3,000

Decreases for settlements with taxing authorities

     (103,000     —          —     
                        

Balance as of December 31

   $ 230,000     $ 290,000     $ 249,000  
                        

As of December 31, 2010, the unrecognized tax liability of $230,000 is comprised of $101,000 included in accrued liabilities, and $129,000 included in the valuation allowance for deferred taxes, since the items comprising this amount are included in deferred tax assets. Therefore, $101,000 of the unrecognized tax liability would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. The entire amount of the unrecognized tax liability as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 would impact the effective tax rate if recognized. Consistent with its current policy, the Company will include any interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of selling, general and administrative expense. There are no amounts accrued for interest or penalties through December 31, 2010.

NOTE 12—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, the Company paid $647,000, $402,000 and $335,000, respectively, to a law firm of which one of the directors of the Company is a member.

John Aglialoro, Joan Carter, and UM Holdings Ltd. (“UM”) are related parties which collectively own approximately 49.5% of the Company’s common shares.

NOTE 12—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (continued)

 

Mr. Aglialoro has served as Chief Executive Officer of the Company since November 2000, and is expected to serve in this capacity for an indefinite period of time. He received salaries of $535,000, $518,000 and $536,000 for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

UM provides certain office support services for which the Company reimbursed UM at the rate of $145,000 during 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company owed UM $13,000 and $15,000 for services, respectively.

NOTE 13—GUARANTEES

The Company arranges equipment leases and other financings for its customers. While most of these financings are without recourse, in certain cases the Company may offer a guarantee or other recourse provisions. In such situations, the Company ensures that the transaction between the independent leasing company and the end user customer represents a sales-type lease. The Company monitors the payment status of the lessee under these arrangements and provides a contingency reserve in situations when collection of the lease payments is not probable. At December 31, 2010, the maximum contingent liability under all recourse and guarantee provisions was $5,691,000. A reserve for estimated losses under recourse provisions of $818,000 and $710,000 has been recorded based on historical experience and is included in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company as guarantor will recognize, at the inception of certain guarantees, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in issuing such guarantees. The Company has recorded a net liability of $47,000 and $84,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, for the estimated fair value of the Company’s guarantees. The fair value of the guarantees is determined based on the estimated cost for a customer to obtain a letter of credit from a bank or similar institution. This liability is reduced on a straight-line basis over the term of each respective guarantee. In most cases, if the Company is required to fulfill its obligations under the guarantee, it has the right to repossess the equipment from the customer. It is not practicable to estimate the approximate amount of proceeds that would be generated from the sale of these assets in such situations.

Rent expense under all operating leases for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $630,000, $582,000 and $579,000, respectively. Interest expense related to capital leases was $3,000, $0 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Assets subject to capital leases had a cost of $27,000 and accumulated depreciation of $4,000 at December 31, 2010.

Purchase Obligations

The Company is required to make purchases of goods and services, principally for purchase order obligations, an endorsement agreement and capital expenditures, that are legally binding of $16,000,000 in 2011, $4,000,000 in 2012, $1,000,000 in 2013 and $1,000,000 in 2014.

Product Liability

As a manufacturer of fitness products, the Company is inherently subject to the hazards and uncertainties of product liability litigation. The Company has maintained, and expects to continue to maintain, product liability insurance, and it includes reserves for self insured retention in accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company’s product liability insurance, which is on a claims made basis, provides an aggregate of $10,000,000 of annual coverage for claims made on or after December 1, 2008 and $5,000,000 of annual coverage for claims made prior to December 1, 2008. The amount of coverage for a claim is reduced as payments are made under the policy for that policy year. These policies include a deductible of a $250,000 per claim with an annual aggregate deductible of $1,000,000 on claims made on or after December 1, 2008 and $100,000 per claim with an annual aggregate deductible of $750,000 on claims made prior to December 1, 2008.

While the Company believes that its insurance coverage is adequate in light of the risks of product liability claims and awards, the Company may be subject to product liability claims which assert damages materially in excess of the limits of its insurance coverage. In December 2010, a jury verdict in the Barnhard v Cybex International, Inc. product liability suit, discussed below, apportioned a significant amount of liability to the Company, which substantially exceeds the Company’s available insurance coverage. It is possible that the Company could be subject to other product liability judgments or settlements which materially exceed the available insurance coverage and related reserves.

The Company records a reserve for the self insured retention portion of product liability matters for which it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the range of the loss can be determined. In addition, as of December 31, 2010, the Company recorded a $62,696,000 litigation reserve as a current liability pertaining to the Barnhard jury verdict and a corresponding litigation related receivable for $15,904,000, representing the amount recoverable from the co-defendant in the matter and the estimated amount recoverable under the Company’s insurance policies. The Company records a reserve and a corresponding insurance receivable if the amount of the product liability exposure is recoverable from the Company’s insurance carrier for other product liability claims. The Company also accrued $947,000 and $3,054,000, as of December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively, for these product liability claims and a corresponding receivable for such liability claims estimated to be recoverable under the Company’s insurance policies. Excluding the Barnhard matter, the product liability claims accrual is included as a component of accrued liabilities ($1,869,000 and $2,451,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively) and other long-term liabilities ($947,000 and $3,054,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively) and the insurance recoverable is included as a component of other assets ($947,000 and $3,054,000 at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively). On a quarterly basis, the Company reviews and adjusts each product liability claim and corresponding receivable. The change in the accrual for product liability claims and the corresponding receivable from December 31, 2009 to December 31, 2010 primarily relates to the insured settlement of a product liability claim during the first quarter of 2010.

Litigation

Barnhard v. Cybex International, Inc., et al.

This product liability litigation was commenced in 2005 in the Supreme Court, Eighth District, State of New York. The plaintiff, who was rendered a quadriplegic after she pulled a Cybex weight machine over onto herself, asserted that Cybex was at fault for the accident due to the design of the machine and a failure to warn. On December 7, 2010, the jury returned a $66 million verdict, apportioned 75% to Cybex, 20% to co-defendant Amherst Orthopedic Physical Therapy, P.C. and 5% to the plaintiff. Under New York law, Cybex would be responsible for payment of 95% of any judgment entered on this verdict but may collect 20% of such judgment from Amherst Orthopedic Physical Therapy, P.C.

In January 2011 the Company filed post-trial motions, seeking, alternatively, judgment in its favor as a matter of law, a new trial and a reduction of the verdict. In February 2011, the trial court denied these motions, and the Company thereafter filed an appeal from this post-trial order with the Appellate Division, Fourth Judicial Department. At the date of this Report, no judgment has been entered on the verdict. Interest does not begin to accrue on this judgment until after it has been entered. The Company intends to vigorously pursue all available options to seek a reversal or reduction of the verdict and any judgment that is ultimately entered.

United Leasing, Inc. v. Cybex International, Inc., et al.

The Company on February 25, 2009 was served with an Amended Complaint which added the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Cybex Capital Corp. (collectively with the Company referred to herein as Cybex), as additional defendants in this action originally venued in the Circuit Court for Williamson County, State of Tennessee. The plaintiff, United Leasing, Inc., provided a series of lease financings for the sale of Cybex equipment to a purchaser/lessee which has since entered bankruptcy, many of which sales were made by an independent dealer, also a defendant in the action. The plaintiff alleges that it was induced to finance in excess of the purchase price for certain of the equipment based primarily upon alleged rebates to the purchaser/lessee made by the independent dealer. Cybex Capital assisted in the lease financing and the plaintiff asserted that Cybex participated in the alleged scheme and was liable for any resulting damages.

During March 2009, this action was removed to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, and Cybex filed an Answer denying all material allegations of the Amended Complaint, other than admitting limited guarantees of certain of the leases at issue had been provided.

In January 2011, the parties entered into a settlement agreement. Pursuant to this settlement, Cybex paid to the plaintiff the sum of $937,500, the parties provided cross-releases of all claims and the litigation has been dismissed with prejudice.

The Company is involved in certain other legal actions, contingencies and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these other matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Legal fees related to those matters are charged to expense as incurred.

Employment Agreements

The Company has entered into employment agreements with its named executive officers. Under these agreements, the employment may be terminated with or without cause at any time. In the event that the Company

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

NOTE 14—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued)

 

terminates the officer’s employment other than “for cause” the Company is obligated to continue normal salary payments for periods generally varying from six months to two years. The employment agreements generally provide that upon a change of control, as defined, the officer may in certain events resign and receive the severance which would have been payable upon a non-cause termination. The maximum aggregate exposure under these agreements is $2,495,000 as of December 31, 2010.

NOTE 15—BENEFIT PLANS

The Company has a 401(k) defined contribution retirement plan. The Company during 2008 and a portion of 2009 matched 50% of the first 4% of the employee’s eligible compensation contributions. Matching contributions by the Company to the plan were $0, $57,000, and $362,000 for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009, and 2008, respectively. Effective March 1, 2009, the Company elected to suspend the Company match. Additionally, the Company may make discretionary contributions to the plan. No discretionary contributions were made for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 or 2008.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) in its periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management of Cybex International, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting of the Company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management evaluated the internal control over financial reporting of the Company as of December 31, 2010. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (COSO). As a result of this assessment and based on the criteria in the COSO framework, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
