DXP
ENTERPRISES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE
1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America have been omitted. DXP Enterprises, Inc. (together with its
subsidiaries, the Company or “DXP”) believes that the presentations and
disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The
condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all elimination entries and
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of the interim periods.
The
results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations to be expected for the full year. These condensed
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
NOTE
2: THE COMPANY
DXP, a
Texas corporation, was incorporated on July 26, 1996 to be the successor to
SEPCO Industries, Inc. “SEPCO”. The Company is organized into two segments:
Maintenance, Repair and Operating “MRO” and Electrical Contractor.
NOTE
3: NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value,
establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements;
rather, it applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit
fair value measurements. The provisions of this statement are to be applied
prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this statement is
initially applied, with any transition adjustment recognized as a
cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The
provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for the fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157
to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods
within those years for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities,
except those that are recognized at fair value in the financial statements on a
recurring basis (at least annually). See Note 10 “Fair Value of Financial Assets
and Liabilities” for additional information on the adoption of SFAS
157.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations”
(“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business
combination to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed
and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the
acquisition date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable
assets acquired. In addition, immediate expense recognition is required for
transaction costs. SFAS 141(R) is effective for financial statements issued for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and adoption is prospective
only. As such, if the Company enters into any business combinations after
adoption of SFAS 141(R), a transaction may significantly affect the Company’s
financial position and earnings, but, not cash flows, compared to the Company’s
past acquisitions.
In March
2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement
No. 133 (“SFAS 161”) SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure
requirements of Statement 133 to provide a better understanding of how and why
an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related
hedged items are accounted for, and their effect on an entity’s financial
position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 also requires
disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and
losses in a tabular format. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November
15, 2008, or the Company’s quarter ended March 31, 2009. As this
pronouncement is only disclosure-related, it does not and will not have an
impact on the financial position and results of operations.
In April
2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the
factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions
used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS
No. 142, Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”). It is effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning December 15, 2008,
and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied
prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective
date.
5
Early
adoption is not permitted. FSP FAS 142-3 also requires expanded
disclosure related to the determination of useful lives for intangible assets
and should be applied to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent
to, the effective date. The impact of FSP FAS 142-3 will depend on
the size and nature of acquisitions completed by the Company on or after January
1, 2009.
In June
2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether
Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating
Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 provides that
unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to
dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating
securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share using
the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retrospective basis and was adopted by
the Company in the first quarter of 2009. The Company has granted awards of
restricted stock that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends which are
considered participating securities under FSP EITF 03-6-1. Because
these awards are participating securities under FSP EITF 03-6-1, the Company is
required to include these instruments in the calculation of earnings per share
using the two-class method. The adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 reduced
basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008
and 2009 by $0.1 and $0.1, respectively. Basic earnings per share, diluted
earnings per share, weighted average common shares outstanding and weighted
average common and common equivalent shares outstanding for 2008 have been
restated.

Restricted
Stock.
Under the
restricted stock plan approved by our shareholders in July 2005, (the
“Restricted Stock Plan”) directors, consultants and employees may be awarded
shares of DXP’s common stock. The shares of restricted stock granted
to employees as of March 31, 2009 vest 20% each year for five years after the
grant date or 10% each year for ten years after the grant date. The
Restricted Stock Plan provides that on each July 1 during the term of the plan
each non-employee director of DXP will be granted the number of whole shares
calculated by dividing $75,000 by the closing price of the common stock on such
July 1. The shares of restricted stock granted to non-employee directors of DXP
vest one year after the grant date. The fair value of restricted
stock awards is measured based upon the closing prices of DXP’s common stock on
the grant dates and is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting
period of the awards.
The
following table provides certain information regarding the shares authorized and
outstanding under the Restricted Stock Plan at March 31, 2009:

The $1.0
million increase in goodwill from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009 primarily
results from a reduction in the value of acquired inventories for Rocky Mtn.
Supply, Inc., which was acquired during 2008. Other intangible assets
are generally amortized on a straight line basis over the useful lives of the
assets. All goodwill and other intangible assets pertain to the MRO
segment.

The MRO
Segment is engaged in providing maintenance, repair and operating products,
equipment and integrated services, including engineering expertise and logistics
capabilities, to industrial customers. The Company provides a wide
range of MRO products in the fluid handling equipment, bearing, power
transmission equipment, general mill, safety supply and electrical products
categories. The Electrical Contractor segment sells to electrical
contractors a broad range of electrical products, such as wire conduit, wiring
devices, electrical fittings and boxes, signaling devices, heaters, tools,
switch gear, lighting, lamps, tape, lugs, wire nuts, batteries, fans and
fuses.
The high
degree of integration of the Company’s operations necessitates the use of a
substantial number of allocations and apportionments in the determination of
business segment information. Sales are shown net of intersegment
eliminations. All business segments operate primarily in the
United States.

9: ACQUISITIONS
All of
the Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Revenues and expenses of the acquired businesses have
been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on
their respective dates of acquisition. The allocation of purchase
price to the acquired assets and liabilities is based on estimates of fair
market value and may be prospectively revised if and when the Company obtains
additional information concerning certain asset and liability valuations,
provided that such information is received no later than one year after the date
of acquisition.
On
February 1, 2008, DXP completed the acquisition of the business of Rocky Mtn.
Supply, Inc. DXP acquired this business to expand DXP’s geographic presence in
Colorado. DXP paid approximately $4.6 million, net of acquired cash,
for this business. The purchase price consisted of approximately $3.9
million paid in cash and $0.7 million in seller notes. The seller
notes bear interest at prime minus 1.75%. The cash portion was funded
by utilizing available capacity under DXP’s credit facility.
On August
28, 2008, DXP completed the acquisition of PFI, LLC. DXP acquired
this business to strengthen DXP’s expertise in the distribution of
fasteners. DXP paid $66.4 million in cash for this
business. The cash was funded by utilizing a new credit
facility.
On
December 1, 2008, DXP completed the acquisition of the business of Falcon
Pump. DXP acquired this business to strengthen DXP’s pump offering in
the Rocky Mountain area. DXP paid $3.1 million in cash, $0.8 million
in seller notes and up to $1.0 million in future payments contingent upon future
earnings of the acquired business. The seller notes bear interest at ninety-day
LIBOR plus 0.75%. The cash portion was funded using DXP’s credit
facility.
The
allocation of purchase price for all acquisitions completed since March 31, 2008
are preliminary in the December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009 consolidated balance
sheets. The initial purchase price allocations may be adjusted within
one year of the purchase date for changes in the estimates of the fair value of
assets acquired (primarily inventories) and liabilities assumed. The
following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed since March 31, 2008 in connection with the acquisitions

NOTE
10: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We
adopted SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008 for financial assets and
liabilities measured on a recurring basis. SFAS 157 applies to all financial
assets and financial liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair
value basis. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, which delayed the
effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15,
2008 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Fair value, as defined in SFAS
157, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date. SFAS 157 affects the fair value measurement of an interest
rate swap, to which the Company is a party, which must be classified in one of
the following categories:
Level
1 Inputs
These
inputs come from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities.
Level
2 Inputs
These
inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable for an asset or
liability. This includes: quoted prices for similar assets or 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.
Level
3 Inputs
These are
unobservable inputs for the asset or liability which require the Company’s own
assumptions.
As
required by SFAS 157, financial assets and liabilities are classified based on
the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our
assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value
measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of
assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy
levels.
The
following table summarizes the valuation of our financial instruments by SFAS
157 input levels as of March 31, 2009 (in thousands):

To hedge
a portion of our floating rate debt, as of January 10, 2008, DXP entered into an
interest rate swap agreement with the lead bank of our
Facility. Through January 11, 2010, this interest rate swap
effectively fixes the interest rate on $40 million of floating rate LIBOR
borrowings under the Facility at 3.68% plus the margin (1.50% at March 31, 2009)
in effect under the Facility. This
swap is designated as a fair value hedging instrument. See Note 11
“Comprehensive Income” for gain and (loss) on the interest rate
swap.

NOTE
11: COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive
income generally represents all changes in shareholders’ equity during the
period, except those resulting from investments by, or distributions to,
shareholders. The Company has comprehensive income related to changes in
interest rates in connection with an interest rate swap, which is recorded as

Impact
of Current Economic Conditions
As with
most businesses, our results of operations have been adversely impacted by
current economic conditions. If economic conditions do not improve,
we expect our results of operations will continue to be adversely
impacted. We will continue to look for opportunities to reduce

Three
Months Ended March 31, 2009 compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
2008
SALES. Revenues
for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased $10.9 million, or 6.5%, to
approximately $157.6 million from $168.5 million for the same period in 2008.
Sales for the MRO Segment decreased $10.7 million, or 6.4%. Sales by businesses
acquired in 2008, on a same store sales basis, accounted for $14.2 million of
2009 sales. Excluding these sales by the acquired businesses, sales
for the MRO segment decreased 14.9%. This sales decrease is primarily
due to a broad-based decrease in sales of pumps, bearings, safety products and
mill supplies. Sales for the Electrical Contractor segment decreased by $0.2
million, or 24.1%, for the current quarter when compared to the same period in
2008 resulting from the decline in the economy. The sales decrease
resulted from decreased sales of commodity and specialty type electrical
products.
11
GROSS
PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased by approximately 1.9%
for the first quarter of 2009, when compared to the same period in
2008. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the MRO segment
increased to 29.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from 27.2% in the
comparable period of 2008. This increase is primarily the result of
increased gross profit as a percentage of sales on sales of fabricated pump
packages, supply chain services and MRO products and services in 2009 as
compared to 2008 combined with the effect of the three businesses acquired
during 2008 having a higher gross profit percentage than the remainder of
DXP. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the Electrical
Contractor segment decreased to 35.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009
from 36.7% in the comparable period of 2008. This decrease resulted from sales
of higher margin specialty-type electrical products decreasing more than sales
of commodity products decreased.
SELLING,
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative
expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 increased by approximately $4.0
million when compared to the same period in 2008. The increase consists of
selling, general and administrative expenses of businesses acquired in 2008.
Selling, general and administrative expense associated with the three businesses
acquired in 2008, on a same store basis, accounted for $4.4 million of the 2009
expense. As a percentage of revenue, the 2009 expense increased by
approximately 4.0%, to 25.0%, from 21.0% for the quarter ended March 31,
2008. This increase is primarily the result of sales decreasing more
than selling, general and administrative expenses decreased on a same store
sales basis.
OPERATING
INCOME. Operating income for the first three months of 2009 decreased
36.7% compared to the same period in 2008. Operating income for the
MRO segment decreased 36.4% as a result of increased selling, general and
administrative expense for businesses acquired in 2008, partially offset by a
minimal increase in gross profit. Operating income for the Electrical
Contractor segment decreased 55.3% primarily as a result of decreased gross
profit due to decreased sales.
INTEREST
EXPENSE. Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2009
increased by 5.1% from the same period in 2008. This increase
resulted from increased debt used to fund acquisitions completed in 2008, which
was partially offset by decreased market interest rates on floating rate
debt.
LIQUIDITY
AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General
Overview
As a
distributor of MRO products and Electrical Contractor products, we require
significant amounts of working capital to fund inventories and accounts
receivable. Additional cash is required for capital items such as information
technology and warehouse equipment. We also require cash to pay our lease
obligations and to service our debt.
We
generated $21.8 million of cash in operating activities during the first three
months of 2009 as compared to generating $2.0 million during the first three
months of 2008. This change between the two periods was primarily attributable
to a $19.1 million reduction in accounts receivable in the 2009 period compared
to a $4.1 million increase in accounts receivable in the 2008
period.
During
the first three months of 2009, the amount available to be borrowed under our
credit agreement with our bank lender (the “Facility”) increased from $37.0
million at December 31, 2008 to $45.7 million at March 31, 2009. This
increase in availability primarily resulted from the $15.0 million reduction in
the amount outstanding under the line of credit portion of the
Facility.
On August
28, 2008, DXP entered into the Facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as lead arranger and administrative agent for the
lenders. The Facility consists of a $50 million term loan and a
revolving credit facility that provides a $150 million line of credit to the
Company. The term loan requires principal payments of $2.5 million per quarter
beginning on December 31, 2008. This Facility replaces the Company’s prior
credit facility, which consisted of a $130 million revolving credit
facility. The Facility expires on August 11, 2013 and contains
financial covenants defining various financial measures and levels of these
measures with which the Company must comply. Covenant compliance is assessed as
of each quarter end and certain month ends for the asset test.
To hedge
a portion of our floating rate debt, as of January 10, 2008, DXP entered into an
interest rate swap agreement with the lead bank of our
Facility. Through January 11, 2010, this interest rate swap
effectively fixes the interest rate on $40 million of floating rate LIBOR
borrowings under the Facility at 3.68% plus the margin (1.50% at March 31, 2009)
in effect under the Facility.
12
The
Company’s borrowings under the revolving credit portion of the Facility and
letters of credit outstanding under the Facility at each month-end must be less
than an asset test measured as of the same month-end. The asset test is defined
under the Facility as the sum of 85% of the Company’s net accounts
receivable, 60% of net inventory, and 50% of non real estate property and
equipment. The Company’s borrowing and letter of credit capacity under the
revolving credit portion of the Facility at any given time is $150 million less
borrowings under the revolving credit portion of the facility and letters of
credit outstanding, subject to the asset test described above.
The
revolving credit portion of the Facility provides the option of interest at
LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 2.00% or prime plus a margin of 0.0%
to 0.50%. On March 31, 2009, the LIBOR based rate on the revolving
credit portion of the Facility was LIBOR plus 1.50%. On March 31,
2009 the prime based rate on the revolving credit portion of the Facility was
prime plus 0.0%. Commitment fees of 0.15% to 0.30% per annum are
payable on the portion of the Facility capacity not in use for borrowings or
letters of credit at any given time. At March 31, 2009, the
commitment fee was 0.25%. The term loan provides the option of
interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% or prime plus a
margin of 0.50% to 1.00%. At March 31, 2009, the LIBOR based rate for
the term loan was LIBOR plus 2.25%. At March 31, 2009, the prime
based rate for the term loan was prime plus 0.75%. At March 31, 2009,
$140.0 million was borrowed under the Facility at a weighted average interest
rate of approximately 3.2% under the LIBOR options, including the effect of the
interest rate swap, and nothing was borrowed under the prime options under the
Facility. Borrowings under the Facility are secured by all of the
Company’s accounts receivable, inventory, general intangibles and non real
estate property and equipment. At March 31, 2009, we were in
compliance with all covenants. At March 31, 2009, we had $45.7
million available for borrowing under the most restrictive covenant of the
Facility.
The
Facility’s principal financial covenants include:
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio –
The Facility requires that the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the 12
month period ending on the last day of each quarter be not less than 1.25 to
1.0, stepping up to 1.5 to 1.0 for the quarter ending December 31, 2009 and to
1.75 for the quarter ending December 31, 2010, with “Fixed Charge Coverage
Ratio” defined as the ratio of (a) EBITDA for the 12 months ending on such date
minus cash taxes, minus Capital Expenditures for such period
(excluding Acquisitions) to (b) the aggregate of interest expense, scheduled
principal payments in respect of long-term debt and current portion of capital
leases for such 12-month period, determined in each case on a consolidated basis
for Borrower and its subsidiaries.
Leverage Ratio – The Facility
requires that the Company’s Leverage Ratio, determined at the end of each fiscal
quarter, not exceed 3.5 to 1.0 as of each quarter end, stepping down to 3.0 to
1.0 beginning the quarter ending December 31, 2009, and to 2.75 to
1.0 for the quarter ending December 31, 2010. Leverage Ratio is
defined as the outstanding Indebtedness divided by EBITDA for the twelve months
then ended. Indebtedness is defined under the Facility for financial
covenant purposes as: a) all obligations of DXP for borrowed money including but
not limited to senior bank debt, senior notes, and subordinated debt; b) capital
leases; c) issued and outstanding letters of credit; and d) contingent
obligations for funded indebtedness.
EBITDA as
defined under the Facility for financial covenant purposes means, without
duplication, for any period the consolidated net income (excluding any
extraordinary gains or losses) of DXP plus, to the extent deducted in
calculating consolidated net income, depreciation, amortization, other non-cash
items and non-recurring items, interest expense, and tax expense for taxes based
on income and minus, to the extent added in calculating consolidated net income,
any non-cash items and non-recurring items; provided that, if DXP acquires the
equity interests or assets of any person during such period under circumstances
permitted under the Facility, EBITDA shall be adjusted to give pro forma effect
to such acquisition assuming that such transaction had occurred on the first day
of such period and provided further that, if DXP divests the equity interests or
assets of any person during such period under circumstances permitted under this
Facility, EBITDA shall be adjusted to give pro forma effect to such divestiture
assuming that such transaction had occurred on the first day of such
period. Add-backs allowed pursuant to Article 11, Regulation S-X, of
the Securities Act of 1933 will also be included in the calculation of
EBITDA.
The
Leverage Ratio, which declines to 3.0 to 1.0 at December 31, 2009, is the most
restrictive covenant at March 31, 2009 and was approximately 2.43 to 1.0 at
March 31, 2009. EBITDA for the 12 months ended March 31, 2009 was
approximately $11.6 million, or 23%, greater than the amount required to meet a
3.0 to 1.0 Leverage Ratio.

to 47.2 days at March 31, 2008. The increase resulted primarily from
a change in customer mix which resulted in slower collection of accounts
receivable. Annualized inventory turns were 4.0 at March 31, 2009 and
5.6 at March 31, 2008. The decline in inventory turns primarily
resulted from the inclusion of businesses acquired in 2008, which have lower
inventory turns compared to the rest of DXP combined with the effect of first
quarter 2009 sales declining more than inventory declined.
Funding
Commitments
We
believe our cash generated from operations and available under our Credit
Facility will meet our normal working capital needs during the next twelve
months. However, we may require additional debt or equity financing to fund
potential acquisitions. Such additional financings may include
additional bank debt or the public or private sale of debt or equity
securities. In connection with any such financing, we may issue
securities that substantially dilute the interests of our
shareholders. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on
attractive terms, if at all.
Acquisitions
All of
the Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting. Revenues and expenses of the acquired businesses have
been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on
their respective dates of acquisition. The allocation of purchase
price to the acquired assets and liabilities is based on estimates of fair
market value and may be prospectively revised if and when additional information
the Company is awaiting concerning certain asset and liability valuations is
obtained, provided that such information is received no later than one year
after the date of acquisition.
On
February 1, 2008, DXP completed the acquisition of the business of Rocky Mtn
Supply, Inc. DXP acquired this business to expand DXP’s geographic presence in
Colorado. DXP paid approximately $4.6 million, net of acquired cash,
for this business. The purchase price consisted of approximately $3.9
million paid in cash and $0.7 million in seller notes. The cash
portion was funded by utilizing available capacity under DXP’s credit
facility.
On August
28, 2008, DXP completed the acquisition of PFI, LLC. DXP acquired
this business to strengthen DXP’s expertise in the distribution of
fasteners. DXP paid $66.4 million in cash for this
business. The purchase price was funded using the
Facility.
On
December 1, 2008, DXP completed the acquisition of the business of Falcon
Pump. DXP acquired this business to strengthen DXP’s pump offering in
the Rocky Mountain area. DXP paid $3.1 million in cash, $0.8 million
in seller notes and up to $1.0 million in future payments contingent upon future
earnings of the acquired business. The cash portion was funded using the
Facility.

The
allocation of purchase price for all acquisitions completed since March 31, 2008
are preliminary in the March 31, 2009 consolidated balance
sheets. The initial purchase price allocations may be adjusted within
one year of the purchase date for changes in the estimates of the fair value of
assets acquired (primarily inventories) and liabilities assumed. The
following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed since March 31, 2007 in connection with the acquisitions
described above (in thousands).

DISCUSSION
OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates
and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. The significant estimates made by us in the
accompanying financial statements relate to reserves for accounts receivable
collectability, inventory valuations, income taxes, self-insured liability
claims and self-insured medical claims. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Management periodically re-evaluates these estimates as
events and circumstances change. Together with the effects of the matters
discussed above, these factors may significantly impact the Company’s results of
operations from period-to-period.
Critical
accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of a
company’s financial position and results of operations, and require management’s
subjective or complex judgments. These policies have been discussed
with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of DXP. Below is a
discussion of what we believe are our critical accounting policies.
Revenue
Recognition
For
binding agreements to fabricate tangible assets to customer specifications, the
Company recognizes revenues using the percentage of completion
method. For other sales, the Company recognizes revenues when an
agreement is in place, price is fixed, title for product passes to the customer
or services have been provided and collectability is reasonably assured.
Revenues are recorded net of sales taxes. Revenues recognized include
product sales and billings for freight and handling charges.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
Provisions
to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made monthly and adjustments are made
periodically (as circumstances warrant) based upon the expected collectability
of all such accounts. Write-offs could be materially different from
the reserve provided if economic conditions change or actual results deviate
from historical trends.
Inventory
Inventory
consists principally of finished goods and is priced at the lower of cost or
market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”)
method. Reserves are provided against inventory for estimated
obsolescence based upon the aging of the inventory and market
trends. Actual obsolescence could be materially different from the
reserve if economic conditions or market trends change
significantly.
15
Self-insured
Insurance Claims
We accrue
for the estimated loss on self-insured liability claims. The accrual
is adjusted quarterly based upon reported claims information. The
actual cost could deviate from the recorded estimate.
Self-insured
Medical Claims
We accrue
for the estimated outstanding balance of unpaid medical claims for our employees
and their dependents. The accrual is adjusted monthly based on recent
claims experience. The actual claims could deviate from recent claims
experience and be materially different from the reserve.
Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill
and other intangible assets attributable to our reporting units are tested for
impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying
value. Significant estimates used in the determination of fair value
include estimates of future cash flows, future growth rates, costs of capital
and estimates of market multiples. As required under current
accounting standards, we test for impairment annually at year end unless factors
otherwise indicate that impairment may have occurred. We did not have
any impairments under the provisions of SFAS No. 142 as of December 31,
2008.
Purchase
Accounting
The
Company estimates the fair value of assets, including property, machinery and
equipment and their related useful lives and salvage values, and liabilities
when allocating the purchase price of an acquisition.
Income
Taxes
Deferred
income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the
financial statement and income tax bases of assets and
liabilities. Such deferred income tax asset and liability
computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in
which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances
are established to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts expected to
be realized.
ITEM
3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Our
market risk results from volatility in interest rates. Our exposure
to interest rate risk relates primarily to our debt portfolio. Using
floating interest rate debt outstanding at March 31, 2009, a 100 basis point
change in interest rates would result in approximately a $1,451,000 change in
annual interest expense.
ITEM
4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the
end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
was evaluated by our management with the participation of our President and
Chief Executive Officer, David R. Little (principal executive officer), and our
Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Mac McConnell (principal
financial officer). Messrs. Little and McConnell have concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of the end of the
period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, to help ensure that
information we are required to disclose in reports that we file with the SEC is
accumulated and communicated to management and recorded, processed, summarized
and reported within the time periods prescribed by the SEC.
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during our last fiscal quarter (the quarter ended March 31, 2009) that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal
control over financial reporting.
In
reliance on guidance set forth in Question 3 of a “Frequently Asked Questions”
interpretative release issued by the staff of the SEC’s Office of the Chief
Accountant and the Division of Corporation Finance in June 2004, as revised on
September 24, 2007, our management determined that it would exclude PFI, LLC and
the business of Falcon Pump from the scope of its assessment of internal control
over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009. The reason for this
exclusion is that we acquired all of the stock of PFI, LLC, and the business of
Falcon Pump during 2008 and it was not possible for management to conduct an
assessment of internal control over financial reporting in the period between
the dates the acquisitions were completed and the date of management’s
assessment. The Company has excluded PFI, LLC and Falcon Pump from
its assessment of internal control
over financial reporting as of March 31, 2009. The total assets and
revenues of PFI, LLC and Falcon Pump represent approximately 23.7% and 8.5%,
respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and
for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
