FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Form 10-K contains “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward looking statements represent the Company’s expectations and beliefs including, but not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s operations, performance, financial condition, growth or strategies. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Form 10-K that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate” or “continue” or the negative or other variations thereof or comparable terminology are intended to identify forward looking statements. The statements by their nature involve substantial risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control, and actual results may differ materially depending on a variety of important factors, including but not limited to the potential impact of changes in interest rates, competition, credit risks and collateral, changes in local or regional economic conditions, the ability of the Company to continue its growth strategy, dependence on management and key personnel, and regulatory supervision.

 

ITEM 1.BUSINESS

 

General

 

Miller Industries, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Florida on January 21, 1963. The administrative offices of the Company are located at 16295 N.W. 13th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33169, and its telephone number is (305) 621-0501.

 

The Company’s business is the ownership and management of a 98,000 square feet warehouse located in Miami, Florida.

 

Employees

 

The Company had no employees during the 2011 and 2010 fiscal years.

 

The Company utilizes an independent contractor to perform administrative and bookkeeping services.

 

ITEM 2.PROPERTIES

 

Description of Warehouse

 

The Company owns a one-story concrete block building located at 16295 N.W. 13th Avenue, Miami, Florida. This facility consists of 97,813 square feet, 7,000 of which are air-conditioned. The building is zoned for use as a warehouse or light manufacturing facility. The building has a relatively low ceiling, which has adversely affected leasing efforts.

 

-2-
 

 

Financing

 

At April 30, 2011, the building was subject to an outstanding first mortgage in favor of a commercial bank with a principal balance of approximately $1,293,000. The loan accrues interest at ½% under the lender’s base rate per annum and is payable in monthly installments of $3,715, with a balloon payment of $911,174 due November 2019. The loan is secured by the Company’s land and building and a partial guarantee of the Company’s president.

 

Leasing Activities

 

The Company continues to seek long term commercial tenants for its building. The building is located in an industrial park which contains many similar facilities. Current rents for such facilities range from approximately $4.00 per square foot to approximately $7.50 per square foot and the occupancy rate in the area is approximately 80%.

 

During 2011, the Company leased its building to three tenants. As of April 30, 2011, the future minimum rental income under these leases, excluding cost of living adjustments, was as follows:

 

2012  $377,883 
2013  $290,571 
2014  $57,051 

  

Insurance, Depreciation and Taxes

 

The Company believes that the building is adequately insured. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over five to 31.5 years for tax purposes and 5 to 30 years for accounting purposes. Real estate taxes paid for calendar year 2011 were approximately $72,000.

 

ITEM 3.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Gold Coast Oil

 

In 1981, the Company was named by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) as one of many potential PRPs with respect to chemical pollution discovered at a site known as “Gold Coast Oil.”

 

In 1988, a settlement was negotiated between the EPA and certain PRPs including the Company, which resulted in a settlement of the EPA claim. The PRPs subsequently negotiated a settlement among themselves in which the Company agreed to pay $50,000 of the anticipated clean up costs. The Company’s insurance carrier at the time of the alleged violations agreed to pay $45,000 of this amount in return for a release from any future additional claims.

 

In January 1993, it was determined that additional funds would be required to complete the clean up of the Gold Coast Oil site. The Company received an assessment of $10,000 for this obligation and has included such amount in accrued expenses in the accompanying balance sheets.

State of California Claim

 

In December, 2010, the State of California State Controller filed a complaint against the Company in the Superior Court of California. In the Complaint, the State asserts that the Company had failed to report the alleged abandonment of certain shares of the Company’s common stock in a timely manner and, as a result, the Company was obligated to pay the State the amount of $102,230. The State and the Company have entered into a Tolling Agreement in order to allow the Company to investigate this matter. The investigation is on-going. The Company is currently unable to assess whether the claim has any validity.

ITEM 6.          SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA 

                         Not Applicable

 

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

 

Results of Operations (2011 compared to 2010)

 

Rental Income

 

The Company’s results of operations are primarily dependant upon the rental income which it receives from leasing space in its building. Rental income is a function of the percentage of the building which is occupied, and the level of rental rates. Rental income during 2011 was $389,000, compared with $373,000 in 2010. The increase in rental income was due to higher rental rates.

 

Hardware Sales

 

The Company receives revenue from the sale of replacement parts for the sliding glass doors and windows formerly manufactured by the Company. These sales (net of cost of goods sold) were immaterial in 2011 and 2010.

 

Other Income

 

The Company generated other income of $6,000 in 2011, compared to $7,000 in 2010. Other income principally consisted of interest income. The decrease was due to lower interest rates in the Company’s deposits.

 

Rental Expense (Excluding Interest)

 

The Company incurs rental expense in connection with the leasing of its building. These expenses consist of management fees, insurance, real estate taxes, depreciation and amortization, insurance, maintenance and repairs, utility costs and outside services. Rental expenses were $186,000 in 2011 and $150,000 in 2010. The principal components were management fees ($36,000 in 2011 and $36,000 in 2010), taxes ($72,000 in 2011 and $59,000 in 2010), depreciation and amortization ($22,000 in 2011 and $22,000 in 2010), repairs and maintenance ($14,000 in 2011 and $9,500 in 2010) and insurance ($32,000 in 2011 and $21,600 in 2010).

 

Cost of Hardware Sales

 

The Company records the cost of its hardware sales in connection with the sale of replacement parts to customers of its former window and sliding glass door business. These costs are tied to the level of hardware sales. These costs were not material in 2011 and 2010.

 

-7-
 

 

Administrative Expenses

 

The Company’s administrative expenses were $53,000 in 2011, compared to $55,000 in 2010.

 

Interest Expense

 

The Company pays interest on the mortgage loan on its building. Interest expense on the loan was $37,000 in 2011 compared to $45,000 in 2010. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in the interest rate on the Company’s mortgage loan.

 

Provision for Income Taxes

 

The provision for taxes (before realization of prior years’ tax benefits) was $34,000 in 2011 and $38,000 in 2010. The Company also recorded a change in its valuation allowance in 2010 related to its net operation loss carryforwards due to the decline in the Company’s profitability. See Note C to the Company’s financial statements.

 

Net Income

 

As a result of the foregoing factors, the Company had a net income of $74,000 in 2011, compared to a net income of $233,000 in 2010.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s cash increased by $82,000 during fiscal year 2011 compared with an increase of $35,000 during fiscal year 2010. The increase in cash was primarily due to positive cash flow from operations. As of April 30, 2011, the Company’s cash position was approximately $1,595,000.

 

At April 30, 2011, the Company’s principal financing consisted of a loan with a principal balance of approximately $1,294,000 from a third party lender, secured by a lien on the Company’s building. The loan bears interest at 50 basis points below the Lender’s base rate. The loan is payable $3,715 per month (plus accrued interest), with a balloon payment due November 2019 in the approximate amount of $911,174. The note is collateralized by the Company’s land and building, along with the personal guaranty of the Company’s Chairman of the Board in the amount of 50% of the mortgage balance.

 

The Company believes that its working capital needs over the next twelve months will principally consist of funding routine maintenance of its building and alterations to the interior of the building to accommodate new tenants. The Company believes that its existing cash reserves will allow the Company to continue operations at their current level for at least 12 more months. However, the Company’s long term prospects ultimately depend on the Company’s ability to lease the space in its building at attractive rates.

 

The Company’s obligations to make payments under existing, material contracts consists of the following:

                      

-8-
 

                      

·The Company is obligated to make payments under its existing mortgage loan. At April 30, 2011, the outstanding balance of the loan was $1,294,000. The loan bears interest 50 basis points below the Lender’s base rate. The loan is repayable in monthly installments of approximately $3,715, with a balloon payment of approximately $911,174 due in November, 2019.

                      

·The Company has agreed to pay Harnap Corp., a corporation controlled by the Company’s president and principal shareholder, $3,000 per month for management fees. Accrued fees as of April 30, 2011 were $280,000, all of which are payable upon the demand of Harnap.

 

Current Plans

 

The Company operates as a real estate investment and management company. The Company currently has three tenants for its existing building and is seeking to obtain additional commercial tenants.

 

The Company’s principal operating expenses consist of management and professional fees associated with the administration of the Company, interest expense on the Company’s mortgage loan, real estate taxes and insurance.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has issued disclosure guidance for “Critical Accounting Policies.” The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that require the application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often because of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods.

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its financial statements, the preparation of which takes into account estimates based on judgments and assumptions that affect certain amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from these estimates. The accounting policies and estimates used and outlined in Note 1 to the Company’s financial statements, which are presented elsewhere in this Form 10-K, have been applied consistently as at April 30, 2011 and 2010, and for the years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010. The Company’s representatives who are involved in the preparation of its financial statements and this report believe that the following accounting policies represent the Company’s critical accounting policies:

 

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets: The Company periodically assesses the carrying value of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. When the Company determines that the carrying value of long-lived assets may be impaired, the measurement of any impairment is based on a projected discounted cash flows method. While the Company believes that this method is reasonable, different assumptions regarding such cash flows may significantly affect the measurement of impairment.

 

-9-
 

 

Revenue Recognition: Rental income is recognized when it becomes receivable under the terms of each lease. Hardware sales are recognized upon receipt of payment from customers.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations

 

The Company is not a party to any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

The following is a summary of the Company’s contractual obligations, including certain on-balance sheet obligations, at April 30, 2011:

ITEM 8.FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

 

The Company’s financial statements and supplementary financial schedules are attached as an exhibit to this report. See Items 14(a) and 14(b).

 

Management’s Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Our management is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements and related information that are presented in this report. The consolidated financial statements, which include amounts based on management’s estimates and judgments, have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company designs and maintains accounting and internal control systems to provide reasonable assurance at reasonable cost that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that the financial records are reliable for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. These systems are augmented by written policies, an organizational structure providing division of responsibilities and careful selection and training of qualified personnel.

ITEM 9A.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

In connection with the filing of this Form 10-K, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of April 30, 2011. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Executive Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of April 30, 2011.

 

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). The Company designs and maintains accounting and internal control systems to provide reasonable assurance at reasonable cost that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that the financial records are reliable for preparing financial statements and maintaining accountability for assets. These systems are augmented by written policies, an organizational structure providing division of responsibilities and careful selection and training of qualified personnel.

 

Management (with the participation of the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer) has evaluated the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2011, based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission.

 

There are limitations inherent in any internal control, such as the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and may not prevent or detect misstatements. As conditions change over time, so too may the effectiveness of internal controls. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those responsible for oversight of a Company's financial reporting.

 

Based on its assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of April 30, 2011.

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2011.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

Shareholders and Board of Directors

Miller Industries, Inc.

Miami, Florida

 

I have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Miller Industries, Inc. as of April 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ deficiency, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits.

 

I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor was I engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. My audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, I express no such opinion. 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. I believe that my audits provide a reasonable basis for my opinion.

 

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Miller Industries, Inc. as of April 30, 2011 and 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE A - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

This summary of accounting policies for Miller Industries Inc. is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The accounting policies conform to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied in preparation of the financial statements.

 

1.Nature of Operations -

 

Miller Industries, Inc., a Florida corporation, currently and since August 1991, has been engaged in the ownership and management of 98,000 square feet of offices and ware-house located in Miami, Florida. The Company also distributes hardware parts for aluminum windows and doors previously manufactured by Miller. During August 1991, the Company discontinued its operations of manufacturing of aluminum windows and doors pursuant to a plan of reorganization.

 

2.Real Property –

 

Property is carried at cost. The Company calculates depreciation under the straight-line method at annual rates based upon the estimated service lives of each type of asset. These service lives are generally as follows:

 

Building and Improvements 10 to 30 years
   
Machinery and Equipment 7 years
   
Furniture and Fixtures 7 years

 

Real property and equipment, with an original cost of approximately $ 750,000, have been fully depreciated at April 30, 2011.

 

3.Deferred Costs –

 

Deferred lease incentive and loan costs are carried at cost. The Company amortizes these assets on a straight-line basis up to 10 years.

 

4.Income Taxes -

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the liability method. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax base of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to be reversed.

 

The Company uses a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% (fifty percent) likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when evaluating and estimating our tax positions and tax benefits, which may require periodic adjustments. At April 30, 2010 and 2011, respectively, the Company did not record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

 

F-7
 

 

5. Earnings Per Share -

 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including stock options or warrants, using the treasury stock method (by using the average stock price for the period to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants). Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential of shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive. At April 30, 2011 potentially dilutive securities consist of an option that could be converted into 2,017,338 common shares. At April 30, 2010, the Company’s outstanding options are not included in the computation of basic or diluted earnings per share since they were anti-dilutive.

 

6. Cash and Cash Equivalents -

 

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

The balances are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000. At April 30, 2011, and 2010 the Company’s uninsured bank balances approximated $1,345,000 and $1,260,000 respectively.

 

7. Financial Instruments -

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, other assets, accounts payable, and debt approximate fair value.

 

8. Concentrations -

 

The Company is subject to certain risk arising from the concentration of its tenant income from entities that comprise 10% or more of the Company’s revenue. Tenant “A” 59% of Revenue. Tenant “B” 38% of Revenue

 

9. Revenue Recognition -

 

The Company recognizes rental income on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. The Company recognizes hardware sales upon shipment of goods to customers.

 

F-8
 

 

10. Environmental Cleanup Matters -

 

The Company expenses environmental expenditures related to existing conditions resulting from past or current operations and from which no current or future benefit is discernable. The Company determines its liability on a site-by-site basis and records a liability at the time when it is probable and can be reasonably estimated.

 

11. Use of Estimates -

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates included in the preparation of the financial statements are related to income taxes, asset lives, accruals and valuation allowances.

 

12. Comprehensive Income -

 

ASC 220, Comprehensive Income established standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its components in the financial statements. The company does not have any comprehensive income for fiscal 2011 and 2010.

 

13. Long-Lived Assets -

 

Under ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, The Company evaluates the carrying value of long-lived assets (including property, equipment and intangible assets) when events or circumstances warrant such a review. If the carrying value of the long-lived asset is considered impaired, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. The respective fair values of the Company’s long-lived assets exceeded their carrying amounts at April 30, 2011 and April 30, 2010.

 

14. Segments –

 

The Company operates in one segment and therefore segment information is not presented.

 

15. Derivative Instruments –

 

Under ASC 815, Derivative and Hedging, the Company will be required to recognize all derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income. If the derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives will either be offset against the change in fair value of hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings.

 

16. Stock-Based Compensation -

 

In accordance with ASC 718, Compensation- Stock Based Compensation, the Company accounts for share-based payments using the fair value method. Common shares issued to third parties for non-cash consideration are valued based on the fair market value of the service provided or the fair market value of the common stock on the measurement date, whichever is more readily determinable.

 

F-9
 

 

17. Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits –

 

ASC 715, Compensation – Retirement benefits, requires additional disclosures relating to how investment allocation decisions are made, the major categories of plan assets and the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets. The overall objective of ASC 715 is to improve and standardize disclosures about pensions and other post-retirement benefits and to make the required information more understandable.

 

The Company has not initiated benefit plans to date which would require disclosure under the statement.

 

18. Advertising Costs –

 

Advertising costs are charged to operations in the period incurred. The Company has not incurred any advertising costs for fiscal 2011 and 2010.

 

19. Business Concentrations –

 

Rental income of the Company’s office and warehouse building is subject to the economic conditions of the industrial real estate market place. Changes in this industry may significantly affect management’s estimates and the Company’s performance.

 

20. Accounting Changes and Error Corrections –

 

The Company follows ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. Changes in accounting principle are reported through retrospective application of the new accounting principle to all prior periods. Errors in the financial statements of a prior period discovered subsequent to their issuance shall be reported as a prior period adjustment by restating the prior period.

 

21. Tenant’s Security Deposits –

 

The Company requires security deposits from lessees for the duration of the lease. The security deposits are refunded when the tenant vacates, provided the tenant has not damaged the space and is current on rental payments.

 

22. Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures –

 

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, applies whenever other standards require assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value and does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. ASC 820 established a hierarchy that prioritizes the information used in developing fair value estimates.

 

The levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 

F-10
 

  

•            Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company has the ability to access;

 

            Level 2 inputs utilize other-than-quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and

 

            Level 3 inputs are unobservable and are typically based on our own assumptions, including situations where there is little, if any, market activity.

 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the Company categorizes such financial asset or liability based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

 

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that are classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category can include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable and unobservable inputs. The Company has no instruments that require additional disclosure.

 

23. Fair Value Option for Financial Instruments -

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, receivables, accounts payable and mortgage payable. Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement s and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments, the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments are determined based upon Level “1” and Level “2” inputs.

 

NOTE B - Mortgage Payable

NOTE C – Income Taxes

 

The provision (benefit) for income taxes consists of the following:

 

   2011   2010 
Current  $22,452   $27,066 
Deferred   11,212    10,903 
Tax Benefit of Net Operating Loss Carryforward and Addition to Valuation Allowance   11,608    (141,469)
Total  $45,272   $(103,500)

 

Deferred income taxes arise primarily due to temporary differences in recognizing certain revenues and expenses for tax purposes, the required use of extended lives for calculation of depreciation for tax purposes, and the expected use of tax loss carryforwards in future periods. The components of the net deferred tax asset at April 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

 

   2011   2010 
         
Properties and Equipment principally due to depreciation  $43,072   $52,566 
Compensation – Value of Stock Option granted   24,599    24,599 
Provision for Bad Debts   1,557    2,610 
Net operating loss carry forward (Net of $347,747 expired in 2007)      $38,875 
Total gross deferred tax assets   69,228    118,650 
Less:  Valuation Allowance       4,150 
Net Deferred Tax Asset  $69,228   $114,500 

 

A valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred tax assets to a level which, more likely than not, will be realized. The net deferred assets reflect management’s assessment of the amount which will be realized from future taxable earnings or alternative tax strategies. The valuation allowance was (decreased) by approximately $(4,150) for 2011, and (decreased) by approximately $ (103,500) for 2010.

 

At April 30, 2011, the Company had alternative minimum tax credit carryforwards of approximately $3,500 which may be carried forward indefinitely.

 

Total Federal tax expense for years ended April 30, 2011 and 2010 differed from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax for the following reasons:

NOTE H – Stock Option Agreement

 

On June 30, 2005 the Company issued stock options to Angelo Napolitano in exchange for the benefits he has provided to the Company through his personal guarantee of the company’s bank loan, and the services rendered by Mr. Napolitano in his capacity as the company’s sole officer and director. The options vest 100% at the grant date and expire in 10 years from the grant date. The company granted options to Mr. Napolitano to purchase up to 2,017,338 shares of the Company’s Common Stock during the term of the Options at a price equal to $ .18 per share (Exercise Price).

 

The average fair values of the options granted during fiscal 2006 were estimated at $.0324, using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model, which included the following assumptions:

 

    2006 
Stock Price  $.05 
Strike Price   .18 
Expected Life   9.17 years 
Risk-Free Interest Rate   3.80%
Volatility   79.23%

 

Approximately $65,400 was recorded as compensation expense for fiscal 2006 related to this grant.

 

On February 22, 2010, the Company modified the option previously granted to Angelo Napolitano that entitled him to acquire 2,017,338 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the modification, the exercise price for the options were reduced from $0.18 per share to $0.06 per share. The Company reduced the exercise price of the option in consideration of Mr. Napolitano’s guarantee of the Company’s bank loan and his services as the Company’s president. The average fair values of the options modified during fiscal year 2010 were estimated at $.0130 using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model, which included the following assumptions:

 

   2010 
Stock Price  $.04 
Strike Price   .18 
Expected Life   5.17 years 
Risk-Free Interest Rate   3.78%
Volatility   44.6%

 

The approximate compensation value of the modified option at February 22, 2010 is $26,000 which is less than the $65,000 compensation cost of the original option. Under FASB Statement 123R, the accounting for a modification, total compensation cost for the award should generally not be less than the awards original fair value. Therefore, if fair value of the modified award is less than fair value of the original award on the modification date, the grant date value is not reduced.
