Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and 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 solely of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for future fiscal quarters of 2009, for the year ending December 31, 2009 or for future periods. The significant accounting principles used in the preparation of these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those used in the preparation of the annual audited consolidated financial statements. These statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 and other Company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Description of Business
Imperial Industries, Inc. (Imperial), and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Just-Rite Supply, Inc. (Just-Rite), Premix-Marbletite Manufacturing Co. (Premix), DFH, Inc. (DFH), formerly known as Acrocrete, Inc., and Triple I Leasing, Inc., collectively with Imperial (the Company, we, us, and our), are primarily involved in the manufacture and sale of exterior and interior finishing wall coatings and mortar products for the construction industry, as well as the purchase and resale of building materials from other manufacturers. Sales of the Companys and other products are made to customers primarily in Florida and formerly to customers located in the Southeastern United States through independent distributors and Company-owned distribution facilities.
The consolidated financial statements contain the accounts of Imperial and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Just-Rite, Premix, DFH and Triple I Leasing, Inc. However, Just-Rites assets were divested on June 11, 2009 through an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors proceeding under Florida state law and, as a result, all of Just-Rites assets and related liabilities are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets as Assets held for sale and liabilities related to assets held for sale as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. Additionally, the consolidated statements of operations and cash flows includes all Just-Rite business activity through June 11, 2009 and is reflected as Loss from Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
(3)
Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors
On June 11, 2009, the Companys subsidiary, Just-Rite, entered into an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors (the Assignment) with Michael P. Phelan, Vice President of Michael Moecker and Associates (the Assignee). The Assignment was considered an event of default under the Companys Line of Credit with its lender, resulting in the execution of the Forbearance Agreement as described in Note 4.
In connection with the Assignment on June 11, 2009, Just-Rite transferred all of its assets, subject to any liabilities thereof, to the Assignee, a non-affiliated party, who agreed to wind down, sell and liquidate the assets of Just-Rite for the benefit of creditors in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. The Company no longer operates any of the assets or business of Just-Rite from the date of the Assignment. As a result of the Assignment, Just-Rite operations, which ended June 11, 2009, are presented as discontinued operations for the six and three months June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Additionally, as a result of the Assignment, all Just-Rite assets are considered held for sale and are reported on the financial statements as Assets held for sale. Since Just-Rite has not obtained a final court order for the conveyance of assets, a settlement with creditors or a court action granting Just-Rite relief from the creditors claims, Just-Rites liabilities continue to be recorded at full value on the Companys financial statements as liabilities related to assets held for sale.

Forbearance Agreement
On June 10, 2009, the Company and Wachovia Bank, N.A. (the Lender), executed a Forbearance and Amendment Agreement (the Forbearance Agreement) to the Companys Consolidating, Amended and Restated Financing Agreement dated as of January 28, 2000 (the Line of Credit). Under the Forbearance Agreement, the Lender agreed to forbear from exercising any of their rights in response to the occurrence of certain events of default under the Line of Credit, subject to the Companys compliance with certain requirements set forth in the terms of the Forbearance Agreement.
The Forbearance Agreement which is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2009 modified the Line of Credit principally as follows:
·
The grant of a security interest in additional collateral consisting of equipment and certain real property located in Jacksonville and Tampa, Florida.
·
The maximum credit available on the Line of Credit, based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory, was reduced from $3,500,000 to $2,500,000 immediately and until June 21, 2009, and thereafter was to be reduced $200,000 each week until the maximum credit equals $500,000;
·
The margin applicable to the interest rate under the Line of Credit was increased to, at the Companys option, either at prime rate plus 5%, or Libor plus 6% (with the Libor base rate to be no less than 1.5%); and
·
The sub-limit for the amount of eligible inventory available for borrowing under the Line of Credit was reduced from $1,750,000 to $1,000,000 until August 1, 2009, then further reduced to $350,000 thereafter.
Effective August 7, 2009, due to the Companys inability to satisfy certain requirements set forth in the Forbearance Agreement, the Forbearance Agreement was amended as follows:
·
The Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may continue to make revolving loans under the line of credit without regard to the Companys compliance with the terms of the line of credit or existence of any event of default.
·
None of the assets of Just-Rite which were transferred to the Assignee pursuant to the Assignment are considered eligible collateral.
·
The addition of a restrictive loan covenant beginning July 31, 2009 and continuing each week thereafter which increases the borrowing availability reserve by $75,000 each week until the reserve reaches an aggregate $300,000.
As of the close of business on August 17, 2009, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was approximately $504,000. Commencing, August 24, 2009, maximum borrowings under the Line of Credit cannot exceed $500,000.
(5)
Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared and are presented assuming the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The industry in which the Company is operating has been impacted by a number of adverse factors over the past three and a half years. As a result, the Company has incurred losses for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008. Our independent registered public accounting firm issued its report dated March 27, 2009 in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2008 that included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Going Concern (Continued)
In order to address the need to satisfy its continuing obligations and realize its long term strategy, management has been reviewing various strategic alternatives and has taken several steps and is considering additional actions to improve its operating and financial results, which we hope will be sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern, including the following:
·
We divested the entire Just-Rite operation as of June 11, 2009 via the Assignment which transferred all assets, subject to any liabilities thereof, of Just-Rite to the Assignee who is winding down, selling and liquidating the assets of Just-Rite for the benefit of creditors in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. The Company no longer operates any of the assets or business of Just-Rite since the date of the Assignment.
·
We are continuing to implement cost reduction initiatives to reduce unnecessary costs in our operations and to conserve working capital. We have implemented more stringent credit and collection procedures and controls in an attempt to reduce days outstanding of trade accounts receivable and improve working capital.
·
We eliminated cash bonuses for all senior management in 2008 and reduced compensation for senior management and other employees. In addition, we have continued to make personnel reductions subsequent to June 30, 2009.
·
We have consolidated our manufacturing operations by shifting Premix manufacturing in Pompano Beach, Florida to Winter Springs, Florida and we moved our corporate office into the Premix distribution center in Pompano Beach to reduce costs.
·
We are seeking financing from other sources, including the possibility of an infusion of equity, to generate additional funds for operations and to take advantage of lower interest rates, including the retention of an investment banker to seek funding and evaluate other strategic alternatives.
There is no assurance that the above actions will allow the Company to continue as a going concern.
(6)
Discontinued Operations (Restated)
We closed three distribution facilities located in Panama City Beach, Florida, Norcross, Georgia and Tampa, Florida in May 2008, September 2008 and November 2008, respectively. We closed two distribution facilities in Tallahassee, Florida and Mobile, Alabama in January 2009.
In addition, the Assignment discussed in Note 3 transferred all assets on June 11, 2009, subject to any liabilities thereof, of Just-Rite to the Assignee who will wind down, sell and liquidate the assets of Just-Rite for the benefit of creditors in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. The Company no longer operates any of the assets or business of Just-Rite from the date of the Assignment. As a result, Just-Rites results of operations
presented as discontinued operations in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 periods
, as well as the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2008,
are reclassified to reflect such discontinued operations.
Revenue and pretax loss from Just-Rite is reported as discontinued operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 and includes operations of Just-Rite for the period January 1, 2009 through June 11, 2009 and from April 1, 2009 through June 11, 2009, respectively, and is summarized as follows:

Sale of Certain Assets
On July 25, 2005, DFH entered into an agreement with Degussa Wall Systems, Inc. and Degussa Construction Chemical Operations, Inc. (collectively now known as BASF Construction Chemicals, LLC) (BASF) to sell certain assets associated with its manufacturing facility in Kennesaw, Georgia (the BASF Sales Agreement). BASF acquired certain assets of DFH and its affiliate, Premix. The assets consisted of certain equipment, customer lists, trademarks, proprietary rights, including product formulas, code approvals and books and records associated with DFHs manufacturing operations in Kennesaw, Georgia (the Assets). DFH also agreed to cease the manufacture of products by December 31, 2005 that had been formerly used in exterior insulation finish wall systems (EIFS) applications and closed that facility shortly thereafter.
As part of the transaction, Just-Rite entered into a three-year distribution agreement with BASF (the Distribution Agreement) to sell products previously manufactured and sold by DFH and now manufactured by BASF. Just-Rite agreed to purchase at least $16,000,000 of products manufactured by BASF under the Acrocrete brand name over the term of the Distribution Agreement. Because there were minimum purchase requirements the failure of which to reach would have required a refund of a portion of the purchase price, we recorded a deferred gain of $1,035,000 on the sale to BASF. In the second quarter of 2007, we surpassed the minimum threshold and in the first quarter of 2008, we surpassed the $16,000,000 purchase requirement. We recognized income from the sale of the assets as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses of $-0- and $127,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The entire amount of the deferred gain was recognized in fiscal 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not impose fair value measurements on items not already accounted for at fair value; rather it applies, with certain exceptions, to other accounting pronouncements that either require or permit fair value measurements. Under SFAS No. 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market. The standard clarifies that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP FAS 157-2), which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the consolidated financial statements on a recurring basis, until fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. These non-financial items include assets and liabilities such as non-financial assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination, reporting units measured at fair value in a goodwill impairment test and asset retirement obligations initially measured at fair value. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 for assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis effective January 1, 2008. The partial adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of the remaining provisions of SFAS 157 to have a material effect on the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements. This standard requires that a Company measure its financial assets and liabilities using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:
·
Level 1 Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.
·
Level 2 Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
·
Level 3 Unobservable inputs reflect the Companys judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including the Companys own data.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations and SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulleting No. 51. SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) will change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements on both the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. SFAS No. 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be re-characterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) and SFAS No. 160 are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2009. Early adoption is not permitted. The adoption of SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007) and SFAS No. 160 did not have any impact on the Companys results of operations or financial position.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 141(R)-1, Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies (FSP FAS 141(R)-1). This pronouncement amends FAS No. 141(R) to clarify the initial and subsequent recognition, subsequent accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP FAS No. 141(R)-1 requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies be recognized at fair

value at the acquisition date if it can be determined during the measurement period. If the acquisition-date fair value of an asset or liability cannot be determined during the measurement period, the asset or liability will only be recognized at the acquisition date if it is both probable that an asset existed or liability has been incurred at the acquisition date, and if the amount of the asset or liability can be reasonably estimated. FSP FAS No. 141(R)-1 became effective for the Company as of December 31, 2008. The Company did not assume any assets or liabilities as a result of a business combination and as such, the adoption of this standard has not had a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the fiscal year to date.
In May 2009, the FASB issued FAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (FAS 165), which introduces the concept of financial statements being available to be issued and requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date as either the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This standard became effective for the Company in the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009. The implementation of this standard did not have a significant impact on the Companys financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2009, the FASB issued FAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (Codification) and the Hierarchy of GAAP (FAS No. 168), which replaces FAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of GAAP and establishes the Codification as the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. SEC rules and interpretive releases are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. FAS No. 168 modifies the GAAP hierarchy to include only two levels of GAAP: authoritative and non-authoritative. FAS No. 168 is effective beginning for periods ended after September 15, 2009. As FAS No. 168 is not intended to change or alter existing GAAP, it will not impact the Companys financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Notes Payable (Restated)
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, notes payable (included in current liabilities related to assets held for sale See Note 6) represent amounts outstanding under a line of credit from a commercial lender. The line of credit is collateralized by accounts receivable and inventory and bears interest at a variable rate at our option of prime or Libor plus the applicable margin (Libor + 6.0%), which is 7.5% at June 30, 2009. The interest rate is subject to change based on the maintenance of certain ratios defined in the credit agreement. The term of the line of credit expired on June 10, 2009 and was effectively replaced by the Forbearance Agreement. See Note 4 regarding the Forbearance Agreement for an explanation of the changes in the line of credit. At June 30, 2009, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $1,558,000. We were eligible to borrow $2,745,000 resulting in excess availability of $1,187,000.

Commitments and Contingencies
(a)
Contingencies from Litigation
Legal proceedings - EIFS Claims
EIFS Litigation
Our subsidiary DFH (f/k/a Acrocrete), together with non-affiliated parties, are defendants in three lawsuits, including two in South Carolina and one in Florida. These cases are brought by homeowners, homeowners associations, contractors and subcontractors, claiming moisture intrusion damage as a result of the use of exterior insulation finish wall systems (EIFS), on single and multi-family residences. Our insurance carriers are providing a defense and have accepted coverage under a reservation of rights in all three of these cases. None of these claims are subject to any remaining self-insured retention (S.I.R.).
The allegations of defects in EIFS are not restricted to DFH products used in an EIFS application, but rather are an industry-wide issue. The alleged failure of these products to perform has generally been linked to improper application and the failure of adjacent building materials such as windows, roof flashing, decking and the lack of caulking.
As insurance markets for moisture intrusion type coverage have all but disappeared, we were forced on March 15, 2004 to renew our existing products liability coverage with an exclusion for EIFS exposure.
In March of 2008, Imperial instituted an action for declaratory judgment and damages against its former insurance carrier after it denied coverage in certain EIFS cases (all of which have since been resolved) brought against the Company in South Carolina. In March of 2009, the Company and this carrier entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement, wherein the carrier agreed to pay the Company $193,250. In consideration of this settlement amount, the Company agreed to dismiss the action it filed, with prejudice, and the parties exchanged limited mutual releases pertaining to the prior matters where the insurer had denied coverage.
Asbestos Litigation
Premix is a defendant, together with non-affiliated parties, in seven claims (four of which include Imperial as a defendant) which allege bodily injury due to exposure to asbestos contained in products manufactured in excess of 30 years ago. We believe that Premix and the Company have meritorious defenses to such claims. The Company has identified at least 10 of its prior insurance carriers that have provided product liability coverage to the Company including potential coverage for alleged injuries related to asbestos exposure. Several of these insurance carriers are providing a defense to Premix and the Company under a reservation of rights in all of these asbestos cases. Certain of these underlying carriers have denied coverage to Premix and the Company on the basis that certain exclusions preclude coverage and/or that their policies have been exhausted. In June of 2009, one such carrier filed suit in Miami-Dade Circuit Court against Premix and the Company, wherein the carrier seeks a declaration from the Court that its insurance policies do not provide coverage for the asbestos claims against Premix and the Company. The carrier also asserts a claim for reimbursement of defense costs and indemnity payments that it voluntarily made on the Companys behalf in prior asbestos claims. We believe that Premix and the Company have meritorious defenses to these claims. Furthermore, notwithstanding the positions asserted by these few carriers and pending declaratory judgment action, we believe, when considering that the Company and Premix have substantial umbrella/excess coverage for these claims, that Premix and the Company have more than adequate insurance coverage for these asbestos claims, and such policies are not subject to self-insured requirements (S.I.R.).
General
We are aggressively defending all of the lawsuits and claims described above. While we do not believe these aforementioned claims will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, given the uncertainty and unpredictability of litigation there can be no assurance of no material adverse effect. The Company and its subsidiaries are engaged in other legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which are believed to be material to the Company.

Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)
(b)
Contingencies from Imperials Guarantee of Certain Just-Rite Debt and Leases
Imperial is a guarantor of certain Just-Rite debt and leases aggregating approximately $1,237,000. We believe the sale of certain pieces of equipment may not generate sufficient proceeds to exceed the amount due on the respective notes or the leases resulting in an obligation to the Company.
Based on the estimated shortfall of the amount that may be realized on the sale of the assets compared to the amount of the payments and obligations guaranteed by Imperial, we have established a loss contingency of approximately $627,000 which is recorded in accrued expenses and other liabilities at June 30, 2009. Due to the uncertainty of the market value of these collateralized assets or the amount of proceeds to be realized from the sale, loss contingency estimates will continue to be adjusted in future periods based upon more current information, when applicable.
(c)
401(k) Plan
We have a profit sharing retirement plan for our employees that is qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Matching contributions, if made, are based on a percentage of eligible employee compensation deferrals. When applicable, the contribution is made in cash to the plan on behalf of our employees. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the aggregate contribution required by us to fund the plan was zero and $22,000 respectively, which have been fully funded. We eliminated matching contributions effective January 1, 2009.
(d)
Lease Commitments
At June 30, 2009, Imperial and Premix have certain property, plant and equipment under long-term operating leases. We will pay aggregate annual rent in 2009 of approximately $169,000 for these leases. The leases expire at various dates ranging from August 2009 to May 2014. Comparable properties at equivalent rentals are available for replacement of these facilities if any leases are not extended, other than the lease for our manufacturing facility in Winter Springs, Florida which expires October 31, 2013 and contains a purchase option and two five year renewal options. We do not expect to incur any material relocation expenses, if relocation was necessary.
(20)
Payable to Former Preferred Stockholders
As a result of the consummation of the December 31, 1998 merger with our wholly-owned subsidiary, we have a payable to former preferred stockholders who have not yet tendered their shares as required by the terms of such merger. Amounts payable to former stockholders in our consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are $50,000 and $56,000, respectively.
(21)
Business and Credit Concentrations
For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, two vendors in aggregate, accounted for 37% and 48% of total purchases and, no single vendor accounted for more than 22% and 32%, respectively, of the Companys purchases. Management believes that alternative suppliers are available to meet the Companys purchasing needs at prices which would not significantly impair the Companys ability to compete effectively. One customer accounted for 28% and 29% of the Companys net sales for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 and the same customer accounted for 24% of the Companys net sales for the six and three months ended June 30, 2008. In addition, this customers accounts receivable represented 28.5% of total outstanding accounts receivable at June 30, 2009.

Related Party Transactions
We paid legal fees of $46,000 and $29,000 for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $61,000 and $36,000, respectively, for the same periods in 2008 to a law firm with which our Chairman of the Board is affiliated. We had amounts payable to this law firm of approximately $23,000 and $22,000 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Such fees were for services rendered by members and associates of such law firm other than our Chairman.
The Chairman of the Board was entitled to receive deferred compensation of $30,000 per year plus the related investment income for the years 2004 through 2008. The outstanding balance of deferred compensation was paid to the Chairman of the Board in the first quarter of 2009.
The husband of a member of our board of directors and audit committee is an executive officer of one of Just-Rites former vendors. Also, a former member of our board of directors was the chief financial officer of the same vendor. We purchased approximately $156,000 and $309,000 in materials from this vendor during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Subsequent Events
The Company evaluated all events and transactions that occurred after June 30, 2009 up through
September 4,
2009, the date the Company issued these financial statements. The only non-recognized significant event is the Forbearance Agreement and related Amendment as disclosed in Note 4,
as well as the following:
Effective August 28, 2009, the Company (as guarantor) and its principal subsidiaries Premix and Just-Rite, the Assignee and the Lender, executed a Second Amendment to Forbearance Agreement (the Second Amendment). Under the Second Amendment, the Lender agreed to extend the Line of Credit from August 31, 2009 to September 30, 2009.
The Second Amendment to the Forbearance Agreement which extended the expiration date of the Line of Credit from August 31, 2009 to September 30, 2009 modified the Line of Credit principally as follows:
·
The Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may continue to make revolving loans under the Line of Credit without regard to the Companys or Assignees compliance with the terms of the Line of Credit, or existence of any Event of Default.
·
Lender shall reduce the existing maximum credit of $500,000 on each of September 4, 2009, September 11, 2009, September 18, 2009 and September 25, 2009, by $50,000 to $450,000, $400,000, $350,000 and $300,000 respectively.
·
The addition of a restrictive loan covenant to establish a borrowing availability reserve in the amount of 50% of any funds received from the Mississippi Department of Transportation.
As of the close of business on August 28, 2009, the Company and the Assignee had a combined outstanding balance of approximately $400,000 under the Line of Credit. Excess availability for borrowings under the Line of Credit at August 28, 2009 was $100,000, after giving effect to the maximum credit of $500,000 at that date.

Item 2.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of the Companys financial condition should be read in conjunction with the Companys consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and related Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2008. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve significant risks and uncertainties. As a result of many factors, such as those set forth under Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Item 1A Risk Factors and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the Companys actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. As used in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company, we, us, and our refers to Imperial Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Form 10-Q contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company, and our subsidiaries, including statements made under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. These forward looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. No assurance can be given that any of such matters will be realized. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward looking statements include, among others, many of which are beyond our control, the following: realization of tax benefits; impairment of long-lived assets; the ability to collect account or note receivables when due or within a reasonable period of time after they become due and payable; the increased cost of capital and related fees; the outcome of any current or future litigation; the adequacy or availability of insurance coverage for certain types of future product damage claims; the competitive pressure in the industry; unexpected product shortages, or changes in the terms of purchasing products or raw materials that may not be favorable to us, or changes in policies of our vendors that may not be favorable to us; general economic and business conditions; unforeseen weather conditions in our market areas that adversely affects the construction industry; the effectiveness of business strategies and development plans; estimates in capital expenditures; quality of management; business abilities and judgment of personnel; changes in accounting policies and practices in internal controls and requirements, and disclosure controls and procedures and related requirements as may be adopted by regulatory agencies, as well as the Financial Accounting Standards Board, that may adversely affect our costs and operations; the adequacy of our accounting estimates; availability of qualified personnel; and labor and employee benefit costs. (See Item 1A. Risk Factors contained in our 2008 Form 10-K Report and herein for a more complete description of risk factors.)
These risks are not exhaustive. We operate in a continually changing business environment, and new risks emerge from time to time. We cannot predict such risks nor can we assess the impact, if any, of such risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks may cause actual results to differ from those projected in any forward-looking statements. For example, financial results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected in future fiscal quarters or for the full year, due to any number of other factors, including the effect weather can have on construction activity. Accordingly, investors and all others are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this document. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any of these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below, together with all of the other information in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and in other documents that the Company files with the SEC, before making any investment decision with respect to our securities. If any of the following risks or uncertainties actually occur or develop, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future growth prospects could change. Under these circumstances, the trading prices of our Companys common stock could decline, and investors could lose all or part of their investment in our Companys common stock.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of such consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions. As with all estimates and assumptions, they are subject to an
- 19 -
inherent degree of uncertainty. Management bases these estimates on historical estimates and assumptions on historical results and known trends, as well as, forecasts as to how these might change in the future. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. We believe the following critical accounting policies have a higher degree of judgment and complexity.
Revenue Recognition and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We recognize revenue when the following four criteria are met:
·
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
·
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
·
Sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
·
Collectability is reasonably assured.
We generally recognize revenue, net of discounts and allowances, at the point of sale or upon delivery to the customers site. For goods shipped by third party carriers, we recognize revenue upon shipment since the terms are FOB shipping point.
Provisions for the estimated allowance for doubtful accounts are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense at the end of each reporting period. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on an analysis of the aging of accounts receivables, the Companys collateral, if any, securing the amount due, the subsequent collections of the receivables, the current financial condition of the customers with aged receivables, including credit terms offered (most invoices are due within 30 days of receipt) payment history, purchase history and direct communication, and other factors that include changes in (1) general business conditions, such as competitive conditions in the market, and (2) the economic condition of the residential and commercial construction industry. The aging of accounts receivables is based on the number of days an invoice is past due and invoices in the same past due ranges are aggregated. At the end of each fiscal quarter, the Company identifies all customers with significant invoices more than 90 days past due. For each customer, the Company then evaluates each of the factors noted above to arrive at a specific reserve. The Company then considers historical bad debt rates to arrive at a reserve for receivables not over 90 days past due. The aggregate of the specific reserve for over 90 day past due receivables and the reserve for the receivables not yet over 90 days past due represents the Companys allowance for doubtful accounts as of the end of the reporting period. Additionally, at the end of each reporting period, we analyze the historical trend of various ratios including charges to bad debt expense compared to net sales, bad debt write-offs to net sales and the balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts to net sales to determine whether the calculated allowance appears adequate. The primary assumption we use for determining our allowance for doubtful accounts is the historical rate of bad debt write offs as a percentage of sales.
Judgment is required in evaluating all of these factors and in determining the appropriate amounts to record in the allowance for doubtful accounts. Additionally, such judgments may prove to be incorrect in the future. We believe that our procedures for estimating such amounts are reasonable and historically have not resulted in material adjustments in subsequent periods. However, if actual market conditions are less favorable than those assumed by management, or if the financial condition of customers were to unexpectedly deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional provisions may be required. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow could be adversely affected.
Inventory Valuation
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the average cost basis. We record a provision to reserve for obsolete and slow moving inventory so that our inventory is reported at estimated net realizable value. The provision is determined by identifying obsolete and slow moving inventory by comparing quantity on hand to historical and projected sales activity. We also consider future sales and price levels at which certain high dollar inventory is expected to be sold in the normal course of business. This information is aggregated and the estimated provision is determined. Judgment is required in evaluating these factors and in determining the appropriate amounts to record in the provision because management must use judgment to estimate when the inventory will be sold and the quantities and prices at which the inventory will be sold in the normal course of business. Accelerating the disposal process or incorrect estimates of future sales potential may cause the actual results to differ from the estimates at the time such inventory is disposed or sold. We believe that our procedures for estimating such amounts are reasonable and historically have not resulted in material adjustments in subsequent periods. However, if actual
- 20 -
market conditions are less favorable than those assumed by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow could be adversely affected.
Litigation
On an ongoing basis, we assess the potential liabilities related to any lawsuits or claims brought against us. While it is typically very difficult to determine the timing and ultimate outcome of such action, we use our best judgment to determine if it is probable that we will incur an expense related to the settlement or final adjudication of such matters and whether a reasonable estimation of such probable loss, if any, can be made. We accrue legal fees and a loss contingency when we believe a loss is probable and the amount of loss and legal fees can be reasonably estimated. Due to the inherent uncertainties related to the eventual outcome of litigation, it is possible that certain matters may be resolved for amounts materially different from any provisions or disclosures that have been previously made.
Asset Impairment
Whenever events or changes in circumstance indicate that the carrying amount of our assets may not be fully recoverable, we do an initial analysis of long-lived assets whereby we estimate the undiscounted future cash flow of these assets. If such analysis indicates that a possible impairment may exist, we are required to then estimate the fair value of the asset, principally determined either by third party appraisals, sales price negotiations or estimated discounted future cash flows, which includes estimating the timing of the future cash flows, discount rates and reflecting varying degrees of perceived risk.
The determination of fair value includes numerous uncertainties. We believe that we have made reasonable estimates and judgments in determining whether our long-lived assets have been impaired. However, if there is a material change in the assumptions used in our determination of fair values or if there is a material change in the conditions or circumstances influencing fair value, we could be required to recognize a material non-cash impairment charge.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the liability method. This method requires that the deferred tax consequences of temporary differences between the amounts recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements and the amounts included in our federal and state income tax returns be recognized in the balance sheet. As we generally do not file our income tax returns until after the closing process for the year end financial statements is complete, the amounts recorded at year end reflect estimates of what the final amounts will be when the actual income tax returns are filed for that fiscal year. In addition, estimates are often required with respect to, among other things, the appropriate state income tax rates to use in the various states in which we and our subsidiaries are required to file, the potential utilization of any operating and capital loss carry-forwards for both federal and state income tax purposes and valuation allowances required, if any, for tax assets that may not be realizable in the future. We believe that it is more likely than not that the amounts recorded as deferred income tax assets will not be recoverable through future taxable income generated by us. As a result, the Company recorded a 100% valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets. We believe the procedures and estimates used in our accounting for income taxes are reasonable and in accordance with established tax law.
General and Recent Developments
As a result of the Assignment signed June 11, 2009, all assets, subject to any liabilities thereof, of Just-Rite were transferred to the Assignee, a non-affiliated party, who is in the process of winding down the operations of Just-Rite and liquidating all the assets and using such proceeds for expenses and reduction of Just-Rites liabilities in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. The Company no longer operates distribution facilities selling a wide range of building products.
Through our subsidiary, Premix, we are engaged in the manufacture and distribution of building materials to primarily building materials dealers and others located primarily in Florida. We have one manufacturing plant in Winter Springs, Florida and one distribution facility in Pompano Beach, Florida for Premix manufactured products. The Companys corporate office is located in Premixs distribution facility.
- 21 -
Our business is driven primarily by the level of residential and commercial construction activity in the Southeast United States, particularly in the state of Florida. The level of construction activity is dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, the general state of the economy, credit markets, population growth, inventory of available residential and commercial units, government growth policies and construction funding.
General construction activity had been strong in the Southeastern United States during several years preceding the second quarter of 2006. During the second quarter of 2006, residential construction demand began to be impacted by a number of factors, including higher interest rates, an increase in available inventory of unsold new and existing homes, and a general moderation in economic conditions compared to prior periods. As a consequence, residential construction activity and applications for building permits for construction of new residential units, considered a strong indicator for future construction activity, declined sharply in Florida and other Southern United States markets during the years 2007, 2008 and into 2009 as economic conditions worsened.
Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared and are presented assuming the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The industry in which the Company is operating has been impacted by a number of adverse factors over the past three and a half years. As a result, the Company has incurred losses for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008. Our independent registered public accounting firm issued its report dated March 27, 2009 in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2008 that included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In order to address the need to satisfy its continuing obligations and realize its long term strategy, management has been reviewing various strategic alternatives and has taken several steps and is considering additional actions to improve its operating and financial results, which we hope will be sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern, including the following:
·
We divested the entire Just-Rite operation as of June 11, 2009 via the Assignment which transferred all assets, subject to any liabilities thereof, of Just-Rite to the Assignee who is winding down, selling and liquidating the assets of Just-Rite for the benefit of creditors in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. The Company no longer operates any of the assets or business of Just-Rite since the date of the Assignment.
·
We are continuing to implement cost reduction initiatives to reduce unnecessary costs in our operations and to conserve working capital. We have implemented more stringent credit and collection procedures and controls in an attempt to reduce days outstanding of trade accounts receivable and improve working capital.
·
We eliminated cash bonuses for all senior management in 2008 and reduced compensation for senior management and other employees. In addition, we have continued to make personnel reductions subsequent to June 30, 2009.
·
We have consolidated our manufacturing operations by shifting the manufacturing in Pompano Beach, Florida to Winter Springs, Florida and we moved our corporate office into the distribution center in Pompano Beach to reduce costs.
·
We are seeking financing from other sources, including the possibility of an infusion of equity, to generate additional funds for operations and to take advantage of lower interest rates, including the retention of an investment banker to seek funding and evaluate other strategic alternatives.
There is no assurance that the above actions will allow the Company to continue as a going concern.
Discontinued Operations
We closed three distribution facilities located in Panama City Beach, Florida, Norcross, Georgia and Tampa, Florida in May 2008, September 2008 and November 2008, respectively. We closed two distribution facilities in Tallahassee, Florida and Mobile, Alabama in January 2009.
- 22 -
In addition, the Assignment discussed in Note 3 transferred all assets on June 11, 2009, subject to any liabilities thereof, of Just-Rite to the Assignee who will wind down, sell and liquidate the assets of Just-Rite for the benefit of creditors in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. The Company no longer operates any of the assets or business of Just-Rite from the date of the Assignment. As a result, Just-Rites results of operations will be presented as discontinued operations in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009.
Revenue and pretax loss from the Just-Rite disposal group reported in discontinued operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 include operations of Just-Rite for the period January 1, 2009 through June 11, 2009 and from April 1, 2009 through June 11, 2009, respectively. Revenue and pretax loss from the Just-Rite disposal group reported in discontinued operations are summarized below:

Six and Three Months Ended June 30, 2009 compared to 2008
Net sales decreased $686,000 and $319,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009, or 12.8% and 11.1%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2008. The decrease in net sales was principally due to a reduction in demand for our products in the residential and commercial construction industries related to the decline in construction activity in the Southeast United States.
- 23 -
Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was approximately 28.9% and 30.1% for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 29.9% and 32.0% for the same period of 2008. The decrease in the margin is due primarily to pricing pressures caused by the overall condition of the industry. We expect the continued reduced levels of demand for our products and more intense competitive conditions from the decline in residential and commercial construction activity to continue to cause pressure on our gross profit margins through the remainder of 2009.
Selling, general and administrative expenses include the amortization of a previously deferred gain from the sale of certain assets of $127,000 in the first quarter of 2008. This deferred gain was fully amortized in the first quarter of 2008. Without the offset of this gain, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $158,000 and $71,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was due primarily to a decrease in payroll and related costs of $131,000 due to a reduction in personnel and pay cuts, a decrease in professional fees of $116,000, a decrease in delivery costs of $69,000 and a decrease in travel and entertainment expenses of $36,000. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $129,000 in one-time restructuring fees related to the discontinued operations of Just-Rite.
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was due primarily to a decrease in payroll and related costs of $76,000, a decrease in professional fees of $43,000 a decrease in delivery costs of $29,000 and a decrease in travel and entertainment expenses of $12,000.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2009 were 42.9% and 42.5% compared to 40.4% and 40.3% for the same periods in 2008. The increases in both the six months and three months ended June 30, 2009 was due primarily to certain fixed costs being spread over lower sales volume. A significant portion of our selling, general and administrative expenses are fixed in nature which do not fluctuate directly with changes in net sales.
For the six and three months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized an accrued loss contingency expense of $627,000 associated with our guarantee of certain Just-Rite obligations transferred to the Assignee which may remain outstanding after the liquidation of the underlying collateralized assets.
Interest expense increased $20,000 and $12,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, compared to the same period in 2008. The increase was due primarily to the sale-leaseback of our Winter Springs manufacturing facility and increased interest rates on our line of credit.
Other (expense) income increased $174,000 and $25,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period in 2008. The increase for the six month period is due primarily to the recognition of $193,000 of other income from the settlement of pending litigation against DFHs insurance carrier in the first quarter in 2009 compared to zero in the same period in 2008.
Income tax benefit decreased $385,000 and $427,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same periods in 2008. The decrease is due to the Company not recording a tax benefit due to the uncertainty of realization of the benefit.
As a result of the above factors, we had a net loss from continuing operations of $1,166,000 and $983,000 or $0.46 and $0.39, respectively, for the six and three months ended June 30, 2009. Additionally, we had a net loss from discontinued operations of $1,268,000 and $653,000 or $0.50 and $0.26, respectively for the six and three months ended June 30, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2009, we had negative working capital of $452,000 (restated) compared to working capital of $2,021,000 at December 31, 2008. The decrease in working capital was due primarily to the reclassification of Just-Rites long term debt to current as a result of the Assignment as disclosed n Note 3, decrease in income tax receivable, current assets held for sale, partially offset by a decrease in notes payable line of credit. At June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $1,024,000 compared to cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $423,000 at December 31, 2008.
- 24 -
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,489,000 compared to net cash used in operations of $2,457,000 for the same period of 2008. The increase in cash provided by operations was due primarily to the receipt of the income tax receivable and increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $999,000 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $765,000 for the same period of 2008. The increase in cash provided by investing activities was due primarily to the proceeds from the liquidation of Just-Rite via the Assignment.
Net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $1,911,000 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $3,028,000 for the same period of 2008. The decrease in cash provided by investing activities was due primarily to the repayment of debt.
Future Commitments and Funding Sources
Our primary sources of cash are proceeds from sales to customers and our line of credit which had been scheduled to expire on June 10, 2009. As a result of the Assignment, on June 10, 2009, we and our lender executed a Forbearance and Amendment Agreement to the Companys Consolidating, Amended and Restated Financing Agreement dated as of January 28, 2000 (the Line of Credit). The Forbearance Agreement effectively extended the Line of Credit until August 31, 2009. Under the Forbearance Agreement, the lender agreed to forbear from exercising any of its rights in response to the occurrence of certain events of default under the Line of Credit, subject to our compliance with certain requirements set forth in the Forbearance Agreement and agreed to continue to fund the Line of Credit. The Forbearance Agreement, which ends on August 31, 2009, modified the Line of Credit principally as follows:
·
The grant of a security interest in additional collateral consisting of equipment and certain real property located in Jacksonville and Tampa, Florida.
·
The maximum credit available on the Line of Credit, based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory, was reduced from $3,500,000 to $2,500,000 immediately and until June 21, 2009, and thereafter was to be reduced $200,000 each week until the maximum credit equals $500,000;
·
The margin applicable to the interest rate under the Line of Credit was increased to, at the Companys option, either at prime rate plus 5%, or Libor plus 6% (with the Libor base rate to be no less than 1.5%); and
·
The sub-limit for the amount of eligible inventory available for borrowing under the Line of Credit was reduced from $1,750,000 to $1,000,000 until August 1, 2009, then further reduced to $350,000 thereafter..
Effective August 7, 2009, due to the Companys inability to satisfy certain of the requirements of the Forbearance Agreement, the Forbearance Agreement was amended as follows:
·
The Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may continue to make revolving loans under the line of credit without regard to the Companys compliance with the terms of the line of credit or existence of any event of default.
·
None of the assets of Just-Rite which were transferred to the Assignee pursuant to the Assignment are considered eligible collateral.
·
The addition of a restrictive loan covenant beginning July 31, 2009 and continuing each week thereafter which increases the borrowing availability reserve by $75,000 each week until the reserve reaches an aggregate $300,000.
As of the close of business on August 17, 2009, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was approximately $504,000. Commencing, August 24, 2009, maximum borrowings under the Line of Credit cannot exceed $500,000.
The Line of Credit, as expressed by the Forbearance Agreement, continues to be collateralized by our eligible accounts receivable and inventory including accounts receivable and inventory assigned to the Assignee. The line of credit is further collateralized by certain equipment and real property also transferred to the Assingee. Our accounts receivable represent amounts due primarily from building materials dealers located principally in
- 25 -
Florida that have purchased products on unsecured open accounts from us. Our accounts receivable, net of allowance, was approximately $860,000 and $797,000 at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Collections of accounts receivable slowed during 2008 and continued to significantly worsen through the second quarter of 2009 primarily due to the financial difficulties our former customers were experiencing, who generally were small to midsize subcontractors, because of the deteriorating condition in the residential and commercial construction industry, the overall condition of the economy and the financial crisis the United States is experiencing. In addition, the Assignee continues to experience difficulty collecting receivables from former customers of closed the facilities. Generally, accounts not collected within 90 days and slow moving inventory are not eligible under our borrowing agreement. The Line of Credit bears interest at a variable rate based on Libor plus 6.0% (7.5% at June 30, 2009). Annualized interest expense based on the outstanding balance of the Line of Credit would be approximately $117,000.
In the second quarter of 2009, we received an income tax refund of $1,043,000 which was recorded as an income tax receivable at December 31, 2008.
In October 2008, we received an offer from the Mississippi Department of Transportation (the MDOT) under the laws of eminent domain to purchase two parcels of property that comprised our Gulfport, Mississippi facility for $2,812,000. One parcel was sold in November 2008 for $1,947,000, of which $407,000 was used to pay-off the existing mortgage on both properties, resulting in net cash proceeds to us of approximately $1,540,000. We realized a gain of $1,364,000 from the sale of this parcel in the fourth quarter of 2008. The second parcel was sold to the MDOT in February 2009 and resulted in net cash proceeds to us of $865,000. We realized a gain of $573,000 from the sale of this parcel in the first quarter of 2009 and this gain is reflected in loss from discontinued operations in the statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009. All of the Gulfport assets were transferred to the Assignee on June 11, 2009.
We presently are focusing our efforts on increasing Premix sales, eliminating overhead where possible, preserving liquidity and obtaining additional debt or equity financing, as well as, considering other strategic alternatives. We expect reduced capital expenditures for the next 12 months to approximate $60,000 and to be funded by our line of credit assuming the Company is able to negotiate an extension of the line of credit or replace it with a line of credit from another financial institution.
Beginning March 15, 2004, we were forced to renew our products liability coverage with an exclusion for EIFS exposure. Due to the uncertainty and unpredictability of litigation, there can be no assurances as to when or if any future uninsured claims may be filed, and if they are, to not be material. While we do not believe the outstanding insured EIFS claims against DFH will have a material effect on our financial position, there can be no assurance of this because of the uncertainty of litigation. See Part II, Item 1 Legal Proceedings.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared and are presented assuming the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The industry in which the Company is operating has been impacted by a number of adverse factors over the past three and a half years. As a result, the Company has incurred losses for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2009 and the year ended December 31, 2008. Our independent registered public accounting firm issued its report dated March 27, 2009 in connection with the audit of our financial statements as of December 31, 2008 that included an explanatory paragraph describing the existence of conditions that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In order to address the need to satisfy its continuing obligations and realize its long term strategy, management has been reviewing various strategic alternatives and has taken several steps and is considering additional actions to improve its operating and financial results, which we hope will be sufficient to provide the Company with the ability to continue as a going concern, including the following:
·
We divested the entire Just-Rite operation as of June 11, 2009 via the Assignment which transferred all assets, subject to any liabilities thereof, of Just-Rite to the Assignee who is winding down, selling and liquidating the assets of Just-Rite for the benefit of creditors in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. The Company no longer operates any of the assets or business of Just-Rite since the date of the Assignment.
- 26 -
·
We are continuing to implement cost reduction initiatives to reduce unnecessary costs in our operations and to conserve working capital. We have implemented more stringent credit and collection procedures and controls in an attempt to reduce days outstanding of trade accounts receivable and improve working capital.
·
We eliminated cash bonuses for all senior management in 2008 and reduced compensation for senior management and other employees. In addition, we have continued to make personnel reductions subsequent to June 30, 2009.
·
We have consolidated our manufacturing operations by shifting the manufacturing in Pompano Beach, Florida to Winter Springs, Florida and we moved our corporate office into the distribution center in Pompano Beach to reduce costs.
·
We are seeking financing from other sources, including the possibility of an infusion of equity, to generate additional funds for operations and to take advantage of lower interest rates, including the retention of an investment banker to seek funding and evaluate other strategic alternatives.
There is no assurance that the above actions will allow the Company to continue as a going concern.
Based upon the steps outlined above being successful, we hope our cash on hand and the maintenance of our borrowing arrangement with our commercial lender will provide sufficient cash to meet current obligations for our operations and support the cash requirements of our capital expenditure programs to allow the Company to continue as a going concern. Our Line of Credit, which was effectively extended by the Forbearance Agreement, expires August 31, 2009 and there is a risk the line of credit will not be further extended or, if extended, on terms that will be acceptable to us. Our ability to maintain and improve our long-term liquidity is primarily dependent on our ability to extend our line of credit with our commercial lender on terms satisfactory to us, successfully achieve profitable operations, maintain favorable terms with our suppliers, the Assignees ability to liquate the Just-Rites assets in adequate amounts to limit the Companys contingent liabilities pursuant to guarantees of certain obligations, obtain additional financing and resolve litigation on terms favorable to us.
There can be no assurance that any such financing will be available or that we could obtain any such financing on terms suitable to us. The extent of the construction industrys unfavorable conditions continue to deteriorate due to the unprecedented adverse economic conditions now existing in the general economy and its effect on demand for our products and results of operations and our ability to maintain adequate liquidity cannot be determined.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
Our business is subject to certain risks, including, but not limited to, differing economic conditions, competition, loss of significant customers, customers inability to make required payments, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, changes in accounting rules and requirements, and other governmental regulations and restrictions. Our future results could be materially and adversely impacted by changes in these or other factors. (See also Part I, Item 1.A, Risk Factors and Risk Factors in the Companys 2008 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a description of some, but not all, of our financial exposure.)
Market Risks
Residential and Commercial Construction Activity
Our sales depend heavily on the strength of residential and commercial construction activity in the Southeastern United States. The strength of these markets depends on many factors beyond our control. Some of these factors include interest rates, employment levels, availability of credit, supply of unsold residential housing units, real estate prices, weather conditions and availability of raw materials and products purchased for resale, as well as consumer confidence. Downturns in the markets that we serve or in the economy could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. Reduced levels of construction activity has resulted in increasingly intense price competition among building materials companies, which have and may continue to adversely affect our gross margins and operating results.
- 27 -
Our first quarter revenues and, to a lesser extent, our fourth quarter revenues are typically adversely affected by winter construction cycles and weather patterns in colder climates as the level of activity in the residential and commercial construction markets decrease. Weather conditions such as heavy rain, will generally preclude customers from installing our products on job sites. Because much of our overhead and expense remains relatively fixed throughout the year, our profits and operating results also tend to be lower and less favorable during the first and fourth quarters of the year. However, in view of the recent downward trend in general construction demand for our products, it is not possible to predict if historical construction trends and sales patterns will persist in the near term due to the inherent uncertainty of these factors.
Exposure to Interest Rates
All our debt has fixed interest rates except for our line of credit. At June 30, 2009, we had $1,558,000 outstanding on the line of credit. Our line of credit, from a commercial lender, bears interest at a variable rate at our option of prime or Libor plus the applicable margin. A significant increase in the market index rates could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. In addition, future increases in interest rates could have an adverse effect on residential and commercial construction activity and demand for our products. If the average interest rate on our variable rate debt increased or decreased 1%, annual interest expense would increase or decrease by approximately $16,000 based on the outstanding balances of our variable rate debt as of June 30, 2009.
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
a.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports, as well as to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.
Our management, under the supervision of our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Rule 13a-15(e) as of the end of the period covered by this report (Evaluation Date). Management has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the three months ended June 30, 2009 because of the identification of a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting which is identified below. Such controls and procedures are intended to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act is communicated to management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
b.
Changes in internal controls
Our material weakness referenced above relates to the following:
Due to our recent financial condition, we had significantly reduced our workforce in an effort to reduce expenses. These reductions included certain accounting personnel which have historically been involved in the preparation and filing of our financial statements. In addition, we entered into a complex transaction during the interim period whereby one of our operating subsidiaries, Just-Rite Supply, Inc. executed an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors. This transaction created additional presentation and disclosure considerations during this interim period which caused a significant utilization of our remaining accounting resources. These circumstances created an environment in which our accounting resources did not have the capacity to dedicate the appropriate amount of time and effort to ensure our interim financial statements were filed timely and accurately. As a result, the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 incorrectly classified certain of the Companys liabilities.
As reported in our Form 8-K filed on September 3, 2009, the above errors were discovered in our Form 10-Q and Amendment No. 1 to such Form 10-Q which resulted in reclassification of such financial statements in Amendment No. 2 to such Form 10-Q.
Management believes that it has adequately addressed the issue set forth above and that we have adequate staffing such that the deficiency in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected such financial reporting is not reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting for future periods.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings
See notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 16 (a), set forth in Part I Financial Information.
Item 1A.
Risk Factors
We have included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, a description of certain risks and uncertainties that could affect our business, future performance or financial condition (the Risk Factors). The Risk Factors are hereby incorporated in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q. Investors should consider the Risk Factors prior to making an investment decision with respect to our stock. There have been no material changes in Risk Factors as documented in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, except as follows:
If we are unable to meet the financial covenants under our Forbearance Agreement as amended, extend the maturity date of the Forbearance Agreement or otherwise obtain a new line of credit, the lender could elect to accelerate the repayment of the outstanding balance. In that event, we would be forced to seek alternate sources of financing.
On June 10, 2009, we executed a Forbearance and Amendment Agreement to our line of credit with our principal lender. The lender agreed to forbear from exercising any of its rights in response to the occurrence of certain events of default, subject to our compliance with certain requirements set forth in the Forbearance Agreement and extended the maturity date to August 31, 2009.
On June 11, 2009, our subsidiary, Just-Rite, entered into an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors, which was considered an event of default under the line of credit, resulting in execution of the Forbearance Agreement . Subsequent to June 11, 2009, the Company was not in compliance with certain requirements of the Forbearance Agreement principally as a result of the activities involved in the wind-down of Just-Rite. As a result, the Forbearance Agreement was amended effective August 7, 2009 to facilitate the continued funding of the line of credit. The outstanding balance of the line of credit at the close of business on August 10, 2009 was $546,000.
As a result of the risks we face in our business, we can give no assurances that (a) we will be able to achieve sufficient financial results necessary to remain in compliance with the financial covenants of the Forbearance Agreement (b) the Assignee will liquidate the Just-Rite assets timely and for adequate amounts in relation to the liabilities associated with the assets including the line of credit, or (c) extend the maturity date of the Forbearance Agreement beyond August 31, 2009. If we were unable to comply with the financial covenants, or we are unable to extend the maturity date we would be in default and our lender would have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the loan and demand payment of the entire amount outstanding under the line of credit. The lender could also foreclose on our assets that secure our line of credit. In that event, we would be forced to seek alternative sources of financing which may not be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
If we are unable to satisfy certain financial obligations assigned to the Assignee which remain outstanding after the sale and liquidation of the underlying collateralized assets, principally certain fixed assets of Just-Rite guaranteed by our parent company, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
We remain liable for certain obligations of Just-Rite associated with our guarantee of obligations related to specific underlying assets used in its former operations. To the extent the proceeds derived from the sale of such collateralized assets of Just-Rite are less than those obligations we guaranteed, we will be responsible for the short-fall. Such amount of these potential obligations cannot be determined until the assets are sold by the Assignee and the amount of deficiencies remaining to satisfy these obligations arising after said sales, if any, are known.
Our business has substantial fixed costs, and as a result, our operating income is sensitive to changes in net sales. Declines in net sales adversely affect operating results.
A significant portion of our expenses are fixed costs, which do not fluctuate with variations in net sales. A decline in net sales is expected to cause a greater proportional decline in operating income. For example, for the six months ended June 30, 2009, sales and operating income decreased significantly compared to the same period in 2008. The reduction in operating income is attributable to selling, general and administrative expenses not
- 29 -
decreasing at the same proportion as sales. A continuing reduction in net sales may have an unfavorable effect on future operating income due to the negative operating leverage.
We require a significant amount of liquidity to service our debt, fund operations and meet cash requirements of capital expenditures.
We require a significant amount of liquidity to service our indebtedness and fund operations and capital expenditures. Our ability to fund our operations, capital expenditures and other corporate expenses, including repayment of our indebtedness, depends on our ability to generate cash through future operating performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive and other factors. Also, we are guarantors of the line of credit attributable to Just-Rite and certain Just-Rite obligations collateralized by assets being sold in the liquidation of that business through the Assignment process. To the extent the proceeds realized for the assets sold are less than the amount of the obligation, it will result in an obligation to the Company. At this date, it is uncertain what the amount of any remaining obligation will be after the sale of those collateralized assets. Many of these factors are beyond our control. We cannot assure that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings will be available to us in an amount sufficient to fund our needs.
Any curtailment of operations, reduction or delay in planned capital expenditures may materially and adversely affect our future revenue prospects. In addition, we cannot assure that we will be able to raise additional equity capital, restructure or refinance any of our indebtedness or obtain additional financing on commercially acceptable terms or at all.
