INTERNATIONAL BALER CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

1. Nature of Business:

 

International Baler Corporation (the Company) is a manufacturer of baling equipment which is designed to compress a variety of materials into bales for easier handling, shipping, disposal, storage, and for recycling. Materials commonly baled include scrap metal, corrugated boxes, newsprint, aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and other solid waste. More sophisticated applications include baling of textile materials, fibers and synthetic rubber. The Company offers a wide variety of balers, standard models as well as custom models, and conveyors to meet specific customer requirements.

 

The Company’s customers include recycling facilities, distribution centers, textile mills, and companies which generate the materials for baling and recycling. The Company sells its products worldwide with 10% to 35% of its annual sales outside the United States.

 

 

2.  Basis of Presentation:

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information in footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended April 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending October 31, 2012. The accompanying balance sheet as of October 31, 2011 was derived from the audited financial statements as of October 31, 2011.

 

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

(a) Accounts Receivable & Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

 

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses inherent in its accounts receivable. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances are reviewed individually for collectibility. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote.

 

(b) Inventories:

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by a method that approximates the first-in, first-out method. Work in process and finished goods are valued based on underlying costs to manufacture balers which include direct materials, direct and indirect labor, and overhead. Company personnel review the potential usage of inventory and inventory components on a regular basis.

 

7

 

(c) Revenue Recognition:

 

The Company recognizes revenue when finished products and/or parts are shipped and the customer takes ownership and assumes the risk of loss. Revenue from installation services is recognized on completion of the service. The Company recognizes revenue from installations and start-ups and repair services in the period in which the service is provided.

 

(d) Basic and Diluted Income Per Share:

 

Basic income per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted income per share includes the net additional number of shares that would be issued upon the exercise of stock options using the treasury stock method. Options are not considered in loss periods as they would be antidilutive. The dilutive impact of options outstanding at April 30, 2012 and April 30, 2011 was -0- shares and 112,865 shares, respectively.

 

(e) Warranties and Service

 

The Company warrants its products for one (1) year from the date of sale as to materials and six (6) months as to labor, and offers a service plan for other required repairs and maintenance. The Company maintains an accrued liability for expected warranty claims. The warranty accrual is based on historical warranty costs, the quantity and types of balers under warranty, and known warranty issues.

 

Following is a tabular reconciliation of the changes in the warranty accrual for the six-month period ended April 30:

    2012   2011
Beginning balance  $       54,859  $      49,859
Warranty service provided     (121,250)      (76,543)
New product warranties      119,177       77,021
Changes to pre-existing warranty accruals          7,214       (4,522)
Ending balance  $       60,000  $      54,859

 

 

(f) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and customer deposits, approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities.

 

4. Related Party Transactions:

 

The Company has a note receivable from its former president and director totaling $10,749 and $17,826 at April 30, 2012 and October 31, 2011, respectively. Interest accrues at the rate of 6% per annum.

 

 

The Company has an agreement with the former president and director of the Company for deferred compensation payments. The Company will make payments with a present value of $49,966, payable through January 2013 at $5,813 per month. A portion of the payments will be used to repay the outstanding note receivable discussed above.

 

Leland E. Boren, a shareholder and director of the Company, is the owner of Avis Industrial Corporation (Avis). Mr. Boren controls 51.0% of the outstanding shares of the Company. Avis owns 100% of The American Baler Company, a competitor of the Company. These baler companies operate independent of each other. The Company had no equipment sales to, or purchases from, The American Baler Company for the six months ended April 30, 2012 or 2011.

5. Inventories

 

Inventories consisted of the following:

 

    April 30, 2012   October 31, 2011
Raw materials  $        1,341,317  $             1,009,648
Work in process         2,628,106              1,429,606
Finished goods           261,846                143,846
   $        4,231,269  $             2,583,100

  

6. Debt

 

The Company has a $1,000,000 line of credit agreement with CenterState Bank of Florida. The line of credit allows the Company to borrow against the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory and property, plant and equipment. The line of credit bears interest at the prime rate plus one-quarter percent with a floor of 4.0%. The line of credit had no outstanding balance at April 30, 2012 and October 31, 2011, and the unused line of credit was $1,000,000 at April 30, 2012. The credit agreement contains covenants that require the Company to provide annual audited financial statements, quarterly internal financial statements and monthly accounts receivable and accounts payable aging reports to the lender.

 

7. Income Taxes

 

As of April 30, 2012, the Company’s anticipated annual effective tax rate is 39%. The difference between income taxes as provided at the federal statutory tax rate of 34% and the Company’s actual income tax is primarily the result of state income tax expense and permanent deductible differences.

 

Tax assets are recognized in the balance sheet if it is more likely than not that they will be realized on future tax returns. Factors considered included, historical results of operations, volatility of the economic conditions and projected earnings based on current operations. Based on this evidence, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be realized. Accordingly, the valuation allowance as of April 30, 2012 and at October 31, 2011 is $0. However, if it is determined that all or part of the deferred tax assets will not be used in the future, an adjustment to the deferred tax assets would be charged against net income in the period such determination is made. As of April 30, 2012 and October 31, 2011, net deferred tax assets were $191,387.

In June 2002, the Company granted 250,000 nonqualified stock options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. These options, which vested immediately, had an exercise price of $0.30 and a term of 10 years. The Company has no remaining authorized shares available for grant under existing stock option plans. As all options were fully vested, there was no impact to net income for the six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011 related to stock options. The stock options were exercised in April 2011 and 250,000 shares of common stock were issued.

 

9. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company, in the ordinary course of business, is subject to claims made, and from time to time is named as a defendant in legal proceedings relating to the sales of its products. The Company believes that the reserves reflected in its financial statements are adequate to pay losses and loss adjustment expenses which may result from such claims and proceedings; however, such estimates may be more or less than the amount ultimately paid when the claims are settled. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

 

On August 26, 2010, the Company was served with a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Estate of a former employee who was injured in a workplace accident while an employee of the Company. The accident occurred in September 2008. The Plaintiff has demanded $2,500,000 to settle this claim. The Company intends to vigorously defend this case and has contacted its liability insurance carrier to request defense and indemnification of any losses incurred in connection with this lawsuit. A motion to dismiss the Complaint was granted without prejudice in January 2012, allowing the Plaintiff the ability to file an amended Complaint.

 

 

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion should be read together with our unaudited financial statements and the related notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements”. For further information, refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2011, and the Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in this Form 10-Q.

 

Results of Operations: Three Month Comparison

 

In the second quarter ended April 30, 2012, the Company had net sales of $4,633,959, compared to net sales of $2,839,060 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, an increase of 63.2%. The increase in revenue is the result of higher shipments of four synthetic rubber balers in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to the second quarter 2011. Also, the Company began expanding its dealer network by adding several new dealers and improving coverage of market areas in the United States.

 

The Company had pre-tax income of $653,009 in the second quarter, compared to $386,421 in the second quarter of fiscal 2011. The improvement in income was the result of the higher shipments of equipment and parts and service and the higher absorption of fixed costs. Selling and administrative expenses increased by $141,927 in the second quarter compared to the prior year second quarter.

Results of Operations: Six Month Comparison

 

The Company had net sales of $8,904,754 in the first six months of fiscal 2012 compared to net sales of $4,681,718 in the same period of fiscal 2011, an increase of 90.2%. The higher net sales was the result of the shipment of nine rubber balers and eleven two-ram balers compared to no rubber balers and seven two-ram balers in the first six months of 2011.

 

Gross profit was $1,039,586 higher in the first half of 2012 than in the prior year and gross profit margins improved to 23.1% from 21.8% in 2011.

 

The Company had pre-tax income of $1,232,832 in the first six months of 2012 compared to income of $455,018 in the first half of fiscal 2011. Selling and administrative expenses were $260,597 higher in the first half of fiscal 2012 than in the prior year.

 

The sales order backlog was $6,830,000 at April 30, 2012 and $4,055,000 at April 30, 2011.

 

Financial Condition and Liquidity:

 

Net working capital at April 30, 2012 was $4,946,908, as compared to $4,242,972 at October 31, 2011. The Company currently believes that it will have sufficient cash flow to be able to fund other operating activities for the next twelve months.

 

Average days sales outstanding (DSO) in the first six months of fiscal 2012 were 29.9 days, as compared to 47.7 days in the first six months of fiscal 2011. DSO is calculated by dividing the total of the month-end net accounts receivable balances for the period by three, and dividing that result by the average days sales for the period (period sales ÷ 181).

 

During the six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company made additions to plant and equipment of $108,364 and $105,079, respectively.

 

The Company has a $1,000,000 line of credit agreement with CenterState Bank of Florida. The line of credit allows the Company to borrow against the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory and property, plant and equipment. The line of credit bears interest at the prime rate plus one-quarter percent with a floor of 4.0%. The line of credit had no outstanding balance at April 30, 2012 and October 31, 2011, and the unused line of credit was $1,000,000 at April 30, 2012. The credit agreement contains covenants that require the Company to provide annual audited financial statements, quarterly internal financial statements and monthly accounts receivable and accounts payable reports to the lender.

 

In the event that the Company’s line of credit would not be available, the Company would pursue a line of credit from other sources, and take steps to minimize expenditures, such as delaying capital expenditures and reducing overhead costs.

The Company is exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of its financing activities, including its borrowings on the revolving line of credit facility. Based on the current level of borrowings, a change in Interest rates is not expected to have a material effect on operations or financial position.

 

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this report, and under the supervision and with the participation of the management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation and subject to the foregoing, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Management, with the participation of the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of April 30, 2012. This assessment was performed using the criteria established under the Internal Control-Integrated Framework established by Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

 

As part of a continuing effort to improve the Company’s business processes management is evaluating its internal controls and may update certain controls to accommodate any modifications to its business processes or accounting procedures.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The Company’s management, including CEO and CFO, confirm that there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
