and
uncertainties affecting the demand for and economic factors affecting the
delivery of health care services, and specific matters which relate directly
to
the Company's operations and properties as discussed in the Company’s annual

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, 2006.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
June
2006, the FASB issued FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -
an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” which clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements
in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The
interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute
for
the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken
or
expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 requires recognition of tax
benefits that satisfy a greater than 50% probability threshold. FIN No. 48
also
provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties,
accounting in the interim periods, disclosures, and transition. FIN No. 48
is
effective for us beginning July 1, 2007. We are currently assessing the
potential impact that adoption of FIN No. 48 will have on our financial
statements.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value
measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing
a
fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This
statement is effective for us beginning July 1, 2008. We are currently assessing
the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our financial
statements.

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 year. The number of basic shares
outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was 7,883,577
and
7,849,910 respectively. The number of diluted shares outstanding for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was 8,077,696 and 8,068,817 respectively.
The number of basic shares outstanding for the nine months ended March 31,
2007
and 2006 was 7,873,460 and 7,837,132 respectively. The number of diluted shares
outstanding for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was 8,071,832
and
8,057,166 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 8.25% on March 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 5.35% at March
31, 2007.
At
March
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 March 31, 2007.
6.
Stock
Repurchase Arrangement
On
August
25, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized repurchases of shares of the
Company’s common stock pursuant to open market transactions in accordance with
Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act or in privately negotiated block
transactions. The authorization permits repurchases from time to time until
June
30, 2007 at the discretion of the Chairman of the Board or the President and
Chief Executive Officer. The authorization permits up to $1.0 million to be
applied to such repurchases. No specific number of shares are sought in
connection with the authorization. The Company received the consent of the
Bank
for this authorized repurchase. As of March 31, 2007 no shares have been
repurchased under this arrangement.

In
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 March 31, 2007; $610,000 has been
received, and $110,000 is receivable, as a result of product development
activities. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, $110,000 and
$450,000 have been included in Net Sales, respectively. For the three and nine
months ended March 31, 2007; $110,000 and $450,000 have been included in Cost
of
Sales, respectively.

2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
Three
Months ended March 31, 2007 compared to three months ended March 31,
2006.
Allied
had net sales of $13.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, down
$1.1 million, or 7.4%, from net sales of $14.8 million in the prior year same
quarter, as a result of lower customer purchase order releases. Customer
purchase order releases were $1.1 million lower than in fiscal 2006. Purchase
order release times depend on the scheduling practices of individual customers.
Sales
for
the three months ended March 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 March 31, 2007 also include $110,000 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.
10
The
Company ceased the sale of Baralyme® on August 27th,
2004.
Sales for the three months ended March 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 March 31, 2006 also include $87,000 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 11.1% from the prior year same quarter, while international
business, which represented 19.7% of third quarter sales, was up 13.7%. Orders
for the Company’s products for the three months ended March 31, 2007 of $13.3
million were $1.0 million or 8.1% higher than orders for the prior year same
quarter of $12.3 million. Domestic orders are down 2.2% over the prior year
same
quarter while international orders are up 61.9%.
Gross
profit for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $3.5 million, or 25.5%
of
net sales, compared to $3.4 million, or 23.0% of net sales, for the three months
ended March 31, 2006. The improvement in gross margins from the prior year
period is the result of improved experience for employee benefits, principally
medical benefits. Fringe benefits, including medical insurance were $0.2 million
lower than in the prior year. Increases in material cost which began to occur
during fiscal 2006 continue to negatively impact gross margins during fiscal
2007. Material cost during the third quarter was approximately 6.2% higher
than
in the third quarter of the prior year. Cost of sales for the three months
ended
March 31, 2007 also included $110,000 as a result of product development of
a
new carbon dioxide absorption product.
11
Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007
and 2006 were $3.0 million, as a result of offsetting increases and decreases.
Selling, general and administrative cost increases for the current period
include $180,000 for legal expenses offset by a decrease in salaries and
benefits of approximately $120,000, decreases in audit expenses of $40,000,
and
decreases in insurance expense of $20,000 from the same quarter in the prior
year. This decrease in salaries and benefits is primarily due to a decrease
in
performance related payments resulting from lower sales over the same quarter
of
the prior year, as well as some employee turnover, rather than to changes in
staffing levels from the prior year.
Income
from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $0.4
million. Interest income was $25,844 for the three months ended March 31, 2007
compared to interest income of $9,311 for the three months ended March 31,
2006.
Allied had income before provision for income taxes in the third quarter of
fiscal 2007 of $0.5 million, compared to income before provision for income
taxes in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 of $0.4 million. The Company recorded
a tax provision of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and
2006.
Net
income for the third quarter of fiscal 2007 was $0.3 million or $0.04 per basic
and $0.03 per diluted share compared to net income for the third quarter of
fiscal 2006 was $0.2 million or $0.03 per basic and diluted share. The weighted
average number of common shares outstanding, used in the calculation of basic
earnings per share for the third quarters of fiscal 2007 and 2006 were 7,883,577
and 7,849,910 shares respectively. The weighted average number of common shares
outstanding used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the third
quarters of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 were 8,077,696 and 8,068,817 shares,
respectively.
Nine
Months ended March 31, 2007 compared to nine months ended March 31,
2006.
Allied
had net sales of $42.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, down
$0.6 million, or 1.4%, from net sales of $43.1 million in the prior year same
period. The overall sales decrease is primarily due to the timing of customer
purchase order releases. While orders were up slightly, customer purchase order
releases were $0.8 million lower than in fiscal 2006. Purchase order release
times depend on the scheduling practices of individual customers.
Sales
for
the nine months ended March 31, 2007 include $348,750 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 nine months
ended March 31, 2007 also include $450,000 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 nine months ended March 31, 2006 include $348,750 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 nine months ended March 31, 2006 also include $271,000 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 1.6% from the same period of the prior year, while international
business, which represented 18.1% of the first nine months of sales, was down
0.7%. Orders for the Company’s products for the nine months ended March 31, 2007
of $40.4 million were $0.5 million or 1.3% higher than orders for the prior
year
same period of $39.9 million. International orders are up 9.6% over the prior
year same period while domestic orders are down 0.8%.
Gross
profit for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 was $10.5 million, or 24.7%
of
net sales, compared to $11.0 million, or 25.5% of net sales, for the nine months
ended March 31, 2006. The reduction in gross margins from the prior year period
is the result of increases in material cost which began to occur during fiscal
2006 and continue to negatively impact gross margins during fiscal 2007. This
increase in material cost over the prior year negatively impacted gross profit
by approximately $1.0 million during the nine months ended March 31, 2007.
Cost
of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 also included $450,000 as
a
result of product development of a new carbon dioxide absorption product.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2007
were $9.3 million compared to $9.2 million for the nine months ended March
31,
2006. As explained below, the net increase of $0.1 million or 1.1% is
attributable primarily to increases of $240,000 offset by decreases of $140,000.
Increased costs include increases of approximately $110,000 in research and
development expense relating to a new product line; approximately $90,000 in
increased legal expenses and $40,000 in relocation costs. Those increases were
partially offset by a $70,000 decrease in the provision for doubtful accounts
and by a decrease in salaries and benefits of approximately $70,000 from the
same period prior year. The decrease in salaries and benefits were primarily
due
to a decrease in performance related payments resulting from lower sales
compared to the same period of prior year, as well as some employee turnover,
rather than to changes in staffing levels from the prior year.
Income
from operations was $1.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007
compared to $1.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. Interest
income was $82,071 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to interest
income of $35,986 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. Allied had income
before provision for income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2007
of
$1.3 million, compared to income before provision for income taxes for the
first
nine months of fiscal 2006 of $1.8 million. The Company recorded a tax provision
of $0.5 million for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007, versus a tax
provision of $0.7 million for the nine-month period ended March 31,
2006.
13
In
fiscal
2007, the net income for the first nine months was $0.8 million or $0.10 per
basic and diluted share compared to net income of $1.0 million or $0.13 per
basic and diluted share for the first nine months of fiscal 2006. The weighted
average number of common shares outstanding, used in the calculation of basic
earnings per share for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and 2006 were
7,873,460 and 7,837,132 shares, respectively. The weighted average number of
common shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share
for the first nine months of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 were 8,071,832 and
8,057,166 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 $15.7 million at March 31, 2007 compared to $14.6
million at June 30, 2006. Inventory increased by $1.3 million as a result of
an
effort by the Company to increase inventory levels of key items to improve
customer service levels. Other current assets increased $0.1 million as a result
of an increase in prepaid insurance and accrued liabilities decreased $0.4
million. At March 31, 2007, these increases in working capital were offset
by an
increase in accounts payable of $0.2 million and accounts receivable decreased
$0.6 million to $6.8 million at March 31, 2007. Accounts receivable as measured
in days sales outstanding (“DSO”) decreased to 43 DSO at March 31, 2007 from 46
DSO at June 30, 2006.
On
August
25, 2005, the Board of Directors authorized repurchases of shares of the
Company’s common stock pursuant to open market transactions in accordance with
Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act or in privately negotiated block
transactions. The authorization permits repurchases from time to time until
June
30, 2007 at the discretion of the Chairman of the Board or the President and
Chief Executive Officer. The authorization permits up to $1.0 million to be
applied to such repurchases. No specific numbers of shares are sought in
connection with the authorization. The Company received the consent of the
Bank
for this authorized repurchase. As of March 31, 2007 no shares have been
repurchased under this arrangement.
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 8.25% on March 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 5.35% at March
31, 2007.
14
At
March
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 March 31, 2007.
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 $0.8 million for the fiscal year ended
June
30, 2007, could be postponed. At March 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.
During
the nine months of fiscal 2007 increases in raw material cost, particularly
copper, have continued to negatively impact Company earnings. Copper is a major
component of brass, which is used in many Allied products. These increases
have
resulted in third quarter material cost being approximately 6.2% higher than
in
the third quarter of the prior year.
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 FASB issued FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes -
an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” , which clarifies the accounting
for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial
statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income
Taxes.” The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax
position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN No. 48 requires
recognition of tax benefits that satisfy a greater than 50% probability
threshold. FIN No. 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification,
interest and penalties, accounting in the interim periods, disclosures, and
transition. FIN No. 48 is effective for us beginning July 1, 2007. We are
currently assessing the potential impact that adoption of FIN No. 48 will have
on our financial statements.
15
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, which
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in
generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair
value measurements. SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value
measurements, but provides guidance on how to measure fair value by providing
a
fair value hierarchy used to classify the source of the information. This
statement is effective for us beginning July 1, 2008. We are currently assessing
the potential impact that adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our financial
statements.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market
Risk
At
March,
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
March 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
March 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 March 31, 2007.
(b)
There
has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during
the
quarter ended March 31, 2007, that has materially affected, or is reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
