NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1.
Unaudited
Consolidated Financial Statements
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in
accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and do not include all of the
information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included.
Operating results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results
for any other quarter or for the full year. These statements should be read
in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes to the
consolidated financial statements thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K
for the year ended June 30, 2007.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
June
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation
No.
48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial
statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income
Taxes”. FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
FIN
48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and
transition.
The
Company adopted FIN 48 as of July 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of adopting
FIN
48 has been recorded as a net decrease to retained earnings of $111,143. On
the
date of adoption of FIN 48, and December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately
$220,000 of unrecognized tax benefits. Of the unrecognized tax benefits at
December 31, 2007, approximately $82,000 would impact the Company’s effective
income tax rate if recognized.
The
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S.
income tax returns for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 in the
third quarter of fiscal 2007. The examination is anticipated to be complete
by
the end of fiscal 2008. As of December 31, 2007 the IRS has discussed certain
potential adjustments with the Company. Management is currently evaluating
those
potential adjustments to determine if it agrees, but if accepted the Company
does not anticipate the adjustments would result in a material change in its
financial position. Due to the ongoing IRS examination, the Company anticipates
that it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits may increase
or decrease, but are unable to reasonably estimate the range.
7
The
Company’s federal income tax returns for the tax fiscal years 2004 and after
remain subject to examination. The various states in which the Company is
subject to income tax are generally open for the tax fiscal years 2004 and
after.
The
Company classifies interest expenses on taxes payable as interest expense.
The
Company classifies penalties as a component of other expenses. The total
interest and penalty expense related to tax uncertainties recognized for the
three and six months ended December 31, 2007 were approximately $5,000 and
$10,000, respectively. Accrued interest and penalties of $75,000 related to
income tax uncertainties were recognized as a component of other noncurrent
liabilities at December 31, 2007.

3. Earnings
per share
Basic
earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of shares of all
common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are
based
on the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common
stock equivalents outstanding during the period. The number of basic shares
outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 7,883,577
and 7,877,120 respectively. The number of diluted shares outstanding for the
three months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 8,130,901 and 8,059,573
respectively. The number of basic shares outstanding for the six months ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006 was 7,883,577 and 7,868,512 respectively. The number
of diluted shares outstanding for the six months ended December 31, 2007 and
2006 was 8,122,607 and 8,064,650 respectively.

4.
Commitments
and Contingencies
The
Company is subject to various investigations, claims and legal proceedings
covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course of its
business activities. The Company has recognized the costs and associated
liabilities only for those investigations, claims and legal proceedings for
which, in its view, it is probable that liabilities have been incurred and
the
related amounts are estimable. Based upon information currently available,
management believes that existing accrued liabilities are sufficient and that
it
is not reasonably possible at this time to believe that any additional
liabilities will result from the resolution of these matters that would have
a
material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations,
financial position or cash flows.
5.
Financing
On
September 1, 2005, the Bank and the Company agreed to an amendment of the credit
facility. In conjunction with the amendment to the Company’s credit facility,
the Bank extended the maturity on the Company’s revolving credit facility from
April 24, 2007 to September 1, 2008. Based on the Company’s current level of
debt, and performance, debt would bear interest at the Bank’s prime rate. The
prime rate was 7.25% on December 31, 2007. The interest rate on prime rate
loans
may increase from prime to prime plus 0.75% if the ratio of the Company’s funded
debt to EBITDA exceeds 2.5. The amended credit facility also provides the
Company with a rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%, at the Company’s option. The optional
LIBOR rate may increase from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 2.75% based on
the
Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio. The 90-day LIBOR rate was 4.73% at
December 31, 2007.
At
December 31, 2007 the Company had no aggregate indebtedness, including capital
lease obligations, short-term debt and long term debt.
The
Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants associated with
its credit facility at December 31, 2007.

addition to the provisions of the agreement relating to the withdrawal of the
Baralyme® product, Abbott has agreed to pay Allied up to $2,150,000 in product
development costs to pursue development of a new carbon dioxide absorption
product for use in connection with inhalation anesthetics that does not contain
potassium hydroxide and does not produce a significant exothermic reaction
with
currently available inhalation agents. As of December 31, 2007; $952,000 has
been received, and $451,000 is receivable, as a result of product development
activities. For
the
three and six months ended December 31, 2007; $451,000 and $549,000, have been
included in Net Sales, respectively. For the three and six months ended December
31, 2007; $451,000 and $549,000 have been included in Cost of Sales,

Operations
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Three
Months ended December 31, 2007 compared to three months ended December 31,
2006.
Allied
had net sales of $13.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2007,
down $0.7 million, or 4.9%, from net sales of $14.3 million in the prior year
same quarter, as a result of lower customer purchase order releases. Customer
orders were $0.4 million higher than in the prior year same quarter, however,
customer purchase order releases were $1.0 million lower than in the prior
year
same quarter. Purchase order release times depend on the scheduling practices
of
individual customers, and do vary over time.
10
Sales
for
the three months ended December 31, 2007 include $116,250 for the recognition
into income of payments resulting from the agreement with Abbott Laboratories
to
cease the production and distribution of Baralyme®. Sales for the three months
ended December 31, 2007 also include $451,000 as a result of product development
activities to pursue development of a new carbon dioxide absorption product.
The
agreement with Abbott provides for Abbott to pay Allied up to $2,150,000 in
product development cost to pursue development of a new carbon dioxide
absorption product for use in connection with inhalation anesthetics that does
not contain potassium hydroxide and does not produce a significant exothermic
reaction with currently available inhalation agents.
The
Company ceased the sale of Baralyme® on August 27th,
2004.
Sales for the three months ended December 31, 2006 include $116,250 for the
recognition into income of payments resulting from the agreement with Abbott
Laboratories to cease the production and distribution of Baralyme®. Sales for
the three months ended December 31, 2006 also include $190,000 as a result
of
product development activities to pursue development of a new carbon dioxide
absorption product. Income from the agreement will continue to be recognized
over eight years, the term of the agreement, at $38,750 per month. Allied
continues to sell Carbolime®, a carbon dioxide absorbent with a different
formulation than Baralyme®.
Domestic
sales were down 2.8% from the prior year same quarter, while international
business, which represented 17.9% of second quarter sales, was down 11.8%.
Orders for the Company’s products for the three months ended December 31, 2007
of $13.7 million were $0.4 million or 3.0% higher than orders for the prior
year
same quarter of $13.3 million. Domestic orders are up 4.9% over the prior year
same quarter while international orders which represented 19.5% of second
quarter orders, was down 4.4%.
Gross
profit for the three months ended December 31, 2007 was $2.9 million, or 21.4%
of net sales, compared to $3.5 million, or 24.6% of net sales, for the three
months ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in gross profit as a percent of
sales is primarily due to lower sales volume and a decrease in inventory. The
lower level of sales combined with the $0.4 million decrease in inventory
results in less effective utilization of the Company’s manufacturing capacity
and the fixed expenses associated with that capacity. Cost of sales for the
three months ended December 31, 2007 also included $451,000 as a result of
product development of a new carbon dioxide absorption product.
11
Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31,
2007
were $2.9 million, a net decrease of $0.2 million, or 6.5%, from $3.1 million
for the three months ended December 31, 2006. Salaries and benefits decreased
by
$122,000 from the prior year same quarter as a result of employee turnover.
There have not been changes to staffing levels from the prior year. Research
and
development expenses decreased by approximately $60,000 from the same quarter
of
the prior year, and insurance expense also improved approximately $20,000 from
the same quarter of the prior year.
Loss
from
operations was $20,584 for the three months ended December 31, 2007 compared
to
income from operations of $0.4 million for the three months ended December
31,
2006. Interest income was $43,327 for the three months ended December 31, 2007
compared to interest income of $28,059 for the three months ended December
31,
2006. Allied had income before provision for income taxes in the second quarter
of fiscal 2008 of $6,480, compared to income before provision for income taxes
in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 of $0.5 million. The Company did not record
a tax provision for the three-months ended December 31, 2007, compared to a
tax
provision of $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31,
2006.
Net
income for the second quarter of fiscal 2008 was $6,480 or $0.00 per basic
and
diluted share compared to net income of $0.3 million or $0.04 per basic and
diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The weighted average number
of common shares outstanding, used in the calculation of basic earnings per
share for the second quarters of fiscal 2008 and 2007 were 7,883,577 and
7,877,120 shares respectively. The weighted average number of common shares
outstanding used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the second
quarters of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 were 8,130,901 and 8,059,573 shares,
respectively.
Six
Months ended December 31, 2007 compared to six months ended December 31,
2006.
Allied
had net sales of $27.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007,
down
$1.1 million, or 3.8%, from net sales of $28.8 million in the prior year same
period. The overall sales decrease is primarily due to lower customer purchase
order releases. Customer orders were $0.2 million lower than in the prior year
same period, however, customer purchase order releases were $0.9 million lower
than in the prior year same period. Purchase order release times depend on
the
scheduling practices of individual customers and do vary over time.
Sales
for
the six months ended December 31, 2007 include $232,500 for the recognition
into
income of payments resulting from the agreement with Abbott Laboratories to
cease the production and distribution of Baralyme®. Sales for the six months
ended December 31, 2007 also include $549,000 as a result of product development
activities to pursue development of a new carbon dioxide absorption product.
The
agreement with Abbott provides for Abbott to pay Allied up to $2,150,000 in
product development cost to pursue development of a new carbon dioxide
absorption product for use in connection with inhalation anesthetics that does
not contain potassium hydroxide and does not produce a significant exothermic
reaction with currently available inhalation agents.
12
The
Company ceased the sale of Baralyme® on August 27th,
2004.
Sales for the six months ended December 31, 2006 include $232,500 for the
recognition into income of payments resulting from the agreement with Abbott
Laboratories to cease the production and distribution of Baralyme®. Sales for
the six months ended December 31, 2006 also include $340,000 as a result of
product development activities to pursue development of a new carbon dioxide
absorption product. Income from the agreement will continue to be recognized
over eight years, the term of the agreement, at $38,750 per month. Allied
continues to sell Carbolime®, a carbon dioxide absorbent with a different
formulation than Baralyme®.
Domestic
sales were down 6.4% from the first six months of the prior year, while
international business, which represented 19.8% of the first six months of
sales, was up 10.0%. Orders for the Company’s products for the six months ended
December 31, 2007 of $26.9 million were $0.2 million or 0.7% lower than orders
for the prior year same period of $27.1 million. International orders are down
8.2% over the prior year same period while domestic orders are up 0.8% over
the
prior year same period. The Company believes that the decrease in international
orders, primarily for international construction projects, is a result of order
timing, and is not reflective of a loss of market share.
Gross
profit for the six months ended December 31, 2007 was $6.1 million, or 21.9%
of
net sales, compared to $7.0 million, or 24.5% of net sales, for the six months
ended December 31, 2006. The decrease in gross profit as a percent of sales
is
primarily due to lower sales volume and a decrease in inventory. The lower
level
of sales combined with the $1.2 million decrease in inventory results in less
effective utilization of the Company’s manufacturing capacity and the fixed
expenses associated with that capacity. Cost of sales for the six months ended
December 31, 2007 also included $549,000 as a result of product development
of a
new carbon dioxide absorption product.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2007
were $6.0 million, a net decrease of $0.3 million, or 4.8%, from $6.3 million
for the six months ended December 31, 2006. Salaries and benefits decreased
by
$0.1 million from the prior year primarily as a result of employee turnover.
There have not been changes in staffing levels over the prior year. The decrease
in selling, general and administrative expense also includes a decrease of
approximately $0.1 million for relocation expense and a $0.1 million decrease
in
research and development expenses.
Income
from operations was $0.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2007
compared to $0.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2006. Interest
income was $84,096 for the six months ended December 31, 2007 compared to
interest income of $56,228 for the six months ended December 31, 2006. Allied
had income before provision for income taxes for the first six months of fiscal
2008 of $0.2 million, compared to income before provision for income taxes
for
the first six months of fiscal 2007 of $0.9 million. The Company recorded a
tax
provision of $0.1 million for the six-month period ended December 31, 2007,
versus a tax provision of $0.4 million for the six-month period ended December
31, 2006.
13
In
fiscal
2008, the net income for the first six months was $0.1 million or $0.01 per
basic and diluted share compared to net income of $0.5 million or $0.06 per
basic and diluted share for the first six months of fiscal 2007. The weighted
average number of common shares outstanding, used in the calculation of basic
earnings per share for the first six months of fiscal 2008 and 2007 were
7,883,577 and 7,868,512 shares, respectively. The weighted average number of
common shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share
for the first six months of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 were 8,122,607 and
8,064,650 shares, respectively.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The
Company believes that available resources and anticipated cash flows from
operations are sufficient to meet operating requirements in the coming
year.
The
Company’s working capital was $17.4 million at December 31, 2007 compared to
$17.3 million at June 30, 2007. Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.1
million. Other current assets increased $0.2 million as a result of an increase
in prepaid insurance and accrued liabilities decreased $0.6 million. Accounts
payable decreased $0.3 million and deferred income taxes decreased $0.2 million.
At December 31, 2007 these increases in working capital were offset by a
decrease in inventory of $1.2 million and $1.1 million decrease in accounts
receivable to $6.2 million at December 31, 2007, due to a decrease in sales.
Accounts receivable as measured in days of sales outstanding (“DSO”) decreased
to 38 DSO at December 31, 2007, down from 45 DSO at June 30, 2007.
On
September 1, 2005, the Bank and the Company agreed to an amendment of the credit
facility. In conjunction with the amendment to the Company’s credit facility,
the Bank extended the maturity on the Company’s revolving credit facility from
April 24, 2007 to September 1, 2008. Based on the Company’s current level of
debt, and performance, debt would bear interest at the Bank’s prime rate. The
prime rate was 7.25% on December 31, 2007. The interest rate on prime rate
loans
may increase from prime to prime plus 0.75% if the ratio of the Company’s funded
debt to EBITDA exceeds 2.5. The amended credit facility also provides the
Company with a rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%, at the Company’s option. The optional
LIBOR rate may increase from LIBOR plus 1.75% to LIBOR plus 2.75% based on
the
Company’s fixed charge coverage ratio. The 90-day LIBOR rate was 4.73% at
December 31, 2007.
At
December 31, 2007 the Company had no aggregate indebtedness, including capital
lease obligations, short-term debt and long term debt.
The
Company was in compliance with all of the financial covenants associated with
its credit facility at December 31, 2007.
14
In
the
event that economic conditions were to severely worsen for a protracted period
of time, we believe that our borrowing capacity under our credit facilities
will
provide sufficient financial flexibility. The Company would have options
available to ensure liquidity in addition to increased borrowing. Capital
expenditures, which are budgeted at $1.5 million for the fiscal year ended
June
30, 2008, could be postponed. At December 31, 2007, the Company had no bank
debt. Based on the Company’s current level of debt, and performance, debt would
bear interest at the Bank’s prime rate. The Company’s agreement with the Bank
does include provisions for higher interest rates at higher debt levels and
different levels of Company performance.
Inflation
has not had a material effect on the Company’s business or results of
operations.
Litigation
and Contingencies
The
Company becomes, from time to time, a party to personal injury litigation
arising out of incidents involving the use of its products. The Company believes
that any potential judgments resulting from these claims over its self-insured
retention will be covered by the Company’s product liability
insurance.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
June
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation
No.
48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which clarifies the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial
statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income
Taxes”. FIN 48 provides guidance on the financial statement recognition and
measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.
FIN
48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures, and
transition.
The
Company adopted FIN 48 as of July 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of adopting
FIN
48 has been recorded as a net decrease to retained earnings of $111,143. On
the
date of adoption of FIN 48, and December 31, 2007, the Company had approximately
$220,000 of unrecognized tax benefits. Of the unrecognized tax benefits at
December 31, 2007, approximately $82,000 would impact the Company’s effective
income tax rate if recognized.
The
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) commenced an examination of the Company’s U.S.
income tax returns for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2005 and 2006 in the
third quarter of fiscal 2007. The examination is anticipated to be complete
by
the end of fiscal 2008. As of December 31, 2007 the IRS has discussed certain
potential adjustments with the Company. Management is currently evaluating
those
potential adjustments to determine if it agrees, but if accepted the Company
does not anticipate the adjustments would result in a material change in its
financial position. Due to the ongoing IRS examination, the Company anticipates
that it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits may increase
or decrease, but are unable to reasonably estimate the range.
15
The
Company’s federal income tax returns for the tax fiscal years 2004 and after
remain subject to examination. The various states in which the Company is
subject to income tax are generally open for the tax fiscal years 2004 and
after.
The
Company classifies interest expenses on taxes payable as interest expense.
The
Company classifies penalties as a component of other expenses. The total
interest and penalty expense related to tax uncertainties recognized for the
three and six months ended December 31, 2007 were approximately $5,000 and
$10,000, respectively. Accrued interest and penalties of $75,000 related to
income tax uncertainties were recognized as a component of other noncurrent
liabilities at December 31, 2007.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market
Risk
At
December 31, 2007, the Company did not have any debt outstanding. The revolving
credit facility bears an interest rate using the commercial bank’s “floating
reference rate” or LIBOR as the basis, as defined in the loan agreement, and
therefore is subject to additional expense should there be an increase in market
interest rates.
The
Company had no holdings of derivative financial or commodity instruments at
December 31, 2007. Allied Healthcare Products has international sales; however
these sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, mitigating foreign exchange rate
fluctuation risk.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
(a)
As of
December 31, 2007, the Company, under the supervision, and with the
participation, of its management, including its principal executive officer
and
principal financial officer, performed an evaluation of the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures, as contemplated by Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15.
Based on that evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and
principal financial officer concluded that such disclosure controls and
procedures were effective as of December 31, 2007.
(b)
There
has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during
the
quarter ended December 31, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
