NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(1) Basis
of Presentation.
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of DGSE
Companies, Inc. and Subsidiaries include the financial statements of DGSE
Companies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, DGSE Corporation, Charleston
Gold and Diamond Exchange, Inc., Superior Galleries Inc., Superior Precious
Metals, Inc., and American Gold and Diamond Exchange, Inc. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
The
interim financial statements of DGSE Companies, Inc. included herein have been
prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission. 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
condensed or omitted pursuant to the Commission's rules and regulations,
although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. We suggest that these financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. In
our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all
adjustments, consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature, necessary to
present fairly its results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented. The results of operations for the periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year. Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year's
consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year
presentation.
In
December 2008, we decided to discontinue the live auction segment of
our business activities. This decision was based on the substantial
losses being incurred by this operating segment during 2008. As a
result, certain sections of the Consolidated Financial Statements and related
notes have been reclassified to present the results of the auction segment
activities as discontinued operations.
In June
2009 the Company sold the assets of National Jewelry Exchange, Inc.(the
Company’s two pawn shops) to an unrelated third party for cash in the amount of
$ 1,324,450. The proceeds were used to retire $400,000 of our bank debt and the
balance was used for working capital. As a result, operating results from
National Jewelry Exchange have been reclassified to discontinued operations for
all periods presented.
In
November we discontinued the independent operations of Superior Estate Buyers
due to operating loss incurred during the first half of the year in the amount
of $ 87,120. This operation was restructured to include buying events in
existing local operations to reduce extraordinary overhead related to remote
events. As a result of the restructuring the personnel of SEB were reassigned
and the Company holds approximately 10 special buying events per
year.

(5) Stock-based
Compensation.
We
account for all share-based payment awards to employees and directors, including
stock options granted under our employee stock option plan, using the fair value
recognition provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation
(ASC 718) and the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107,
issued by the SEC. We use the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula to
value share-based payments granted to employees and attribute the value of
stock-based compensation to expense using the straight-line single option
method. Stock-based compensation expense recognized each period includes:
(1) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but
not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the measurement date fair
value estimate in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123,
and (2) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent
to January 1, 2006, based on the measurement date fair value estimate in
accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. Stock-based compensation expense
recognized each period is based on the greater of the value of the portion of
share-based payment awards under the straight-line method or the value of the
portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during
the period. In accordance with ASC 718, we estimate forfeitures at the time of
grant and revise our estimates, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual
forfeitures differ materially from those estimates. Stock-based compensation
expense under ASC 718 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $0 and
$15,200, respectively relating to employee and director stock
options.
ASC 718
requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax
deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options
(excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. Due to our
historical net operating loss position, we have not recorded these excess tax
benefits at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.
(6) Discontinued
Operations.
In
November 2008, we decided to discontinue the live auction segment of the
Company’s business activities. This decision was based on the substantial losses
being incurred by this operating segment during 2008. As a result, the operating
results of the auction segment have been reclassified to discontinued operations
for all periods presented. During the first six months of 2010 and
2009 the auction segment incurred pretax losses of $0 and $512,136,
respectively.
The
following summarizes the carrying amount of assets and liabilities of the
auction segment as of June 30, 2010:

As of
June30, 2010, there were no operating assets to be disposed of or liabilities to
be paid in completing the disposition of these operations.
In June
2009, the Company sold the assets of National Jewelry Exchange, Inc.(the
Company’s two pawn shops) to an unrelated third party for cash in the amount of
$ 1,324,450. The proceeds were used to retire $400,000 of our bank debt and the
balance was used for working capital. As a result, operating results from
National Jewelry Exchange have been reclassified to discontinued operations for
all periods presented.

(7) New Accounting Pronouncements.
Effective
August 1, 2009, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard
(“SFAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles — a
replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (“SFAS 168”), effective for our fiscal
quarter ended October 31,
2009. SFAS 168 established the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as the single
source of authoritative non-governmental accounting principles to be applied in
the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Although
SFAS 168 does not change GAAP, the adoption of SFAS 168 impacted our financial
statements since all future references to authoritative accounting literature
are now in accordance with SFAS 168, except for the following standards, which
will remain authoritative until they are integrated into the ASC: SFAS 164,
Not-for-Profit Entities:
Mergers and Acquisitions; SFAS 166, Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets; SFAS 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation
No. 46R; and
SFAS 168.
In
April 2009, the FASB issued accounting standards under ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which
extend the annual financial statement disclosure requirements for financial
instruments to interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies. We
adopted this standard effective August 1, 2009.
In
August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair
Value (“ASU 2009-05”), which is effective for the first reporting period
(including interim periods) following issuance. ASU 2009-05 clarifies the
application of certain valuation techniques in circumstances in which a quoted
price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. We
adopted this standard effective November 1, 2009.
In
January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair
Value Measurements (“ASU 2010-06”). ASU 2010-06 provides more
robust disclosures about the transfers between Levels 1 and 2, the activity in
Level 3 fair value measurements and clarifies the level of disaggregation and
disclosure related to the valuation techniques and inputs used. The new
disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2009, except for the Level 3 activity disclosures, which
are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. We
do not expect a material impact from the adoption of this guidance on our
consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-09, Amendments to Certain Recognition
and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2010-09”). ASU 2010-09 amends the
guidance issued in ASC 855, Subsequent Events, by not
requiring SEC filers to disclose the date through which an entity has evaluated
subsequent events. ASU 2010-09 was effective upon issuance. There
was not a material impact from the adoption of this guidance on our consolidated
financial statements.
(8) Settlement
of Litigation.
On
January 27, 2010, DGSE Companies, Inc. (“DGSE”) and Stanford International Bank,
LTD (‘SIBL”), which prior to the closing of certain settlement agreements
discussed below was a beneficial owner of a significant equity interest in DGSE,
a primary lender to a wholly owned subsidiary of DGSE and subject to certain
agreements with DGSE and its Chairman, entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement and a Debt Conversion Agreement to settle DGSE’s lawsuit against
SIBL. On May 25, 2010, DGSE and SIBL and a third party entered
in a closing agreement to finalize the settlement agreements upon the approval
of the settlement by the United States District Court for the Northern District
of Texas which has jurisdiction for the assets of SIBL. Upon
closing of the transaction, SIBL terminated all agreements, converted all of its
debt, interest and other expenses for 1,000 shares of DGSE common stock
and sold 3,000,000 shares of common stock common stock to DGSE’s assignee,
NTR Metals for $3,000,000 under a Partial Assignment
Agreement. Pursuant to the partial assignment of the Company’s rights
as a Buyer to NTR under the Company-SIBL Purchase Agreement, NTR acquired
directly from SIBL 3,000,000 Shares of the Company (the “NTR Acquired
Interest”). The parties agreed that the remaining portion of the SIBL Equity
Interest (i.e. 377,361 Shares) be transferred as designated by the Company. SIBL
cancelled 422,814 additional warrants to purchase additional shares of DGSE as
part of the settlement agreement. As a result of the transaction, the
Company recognized a gain of $9,198,570 related to the cancellation of
debt.
On
February 26, 2010, Superior Galleries, Inc. (‘Superior’) entered into a
settlement agreement for a lawsuit filed by its previous landlord, DBKK, LLC for
$385,000 to be paid over three years bearing interest at 8%. The
Company’s settlement with DBBK was a risk management decision based on an
original claim in the amount of $806,000. The lawsuit resulted from a
lease transaction entered into by certain officers of Superior, Larry Abbott and
Silvano Digenova, during a time when the Company had a management contract with
Superior between these certain officers and Stanford International Bank, Ltd
(‘SIBL’) that precluded them from entering into these
transactions. Although the claim has been settled, the Company
believes it has a counter claim against Abbott, Digenova, and SIBL resulting
from their false and misleading facts regarding the management of Superior and
its financial condition, further business opportunities and available financing
which induced the Company to acquire Superior. As of June 30, 2010,
the Company has recorded $385,000 loss related to the settlement of this
litigation in other (income) expense.

managers provide a convenient way for individuals and companies to buy and sell
precious metals and rare coins. This activity is supported by the internally
developed account management and trading platform created as part of DGSE’s
USBullionExchange.com precious metals system.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates
The
following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are
those that are both important to the portrayal of our financial condition and
results of operations and that require significant judgment or use of complex
estimates.
Inventories.
Jewelry and other inventories are valued at the lower
of cost or market. Bullion is valued at the lower-of-cost-or-market
(average cost). See also “Critical Accounting
Estimates”.
Impairment of
Long-Lived and Amortized Intangible Assets. The Company performs
impairment evaluations of its long-lived assets, including property, plant and
equipment and intangible assets with finite lives, including the customer base
acquired in the Superior acquisition, whenever business conditions or events
indicate that those assets may be impaired. When the estimated future
undiscounted cash flows to be generated by the assets are less than the carrying
value of the long-lived assets, the assets are written down to fair market value
and a charge is recorded to current operations. Based on our
evaluations no impairment was required as of December 31, 2010.
Impairment of
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets. Goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually, or more
frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might
be impaired. The Company performs its annual review at the beginning of
the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.
The
Company evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by estimating the future
discounted cash flows of the businesses to which the goodwill relates.
Estimated cash flows and related goodwill are grouped at the reporting unit
level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or, under certain
circumstances, a component of an operating segment that constitutes a
business. When estimated future discounted cash flows are less than the
carrying value of the net assets and related goodwill, an impairment test is
performed to measure and recognize the amount of the impairment loss, if
any. Impairment losses, limited to the carrying value of goodwill,
represent the excess of the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill over
the implied fair value of that goodwill. In determining the estimated
future cash flows, the Company considers current and projected future levels of
income as well as business trends, prospects and market and economic
conditions.
The
Company cannot predict the occurrence of certain events that might adversely
affect the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Such events may include, but are not limited to, the impact of the economic
environment, a material negative change in relationships with significant
customers, or strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive
conditions. See “Critical Accounting Estimates.”
Revenue
Recognition. Revenue is generated from wholesale
and retail sales of rare coins, precious metals, bullion and second-hand
jewelry. The recognition of revenue varies for wholesale and retail transactions
and is, in large part, dependent on the type of payment arrangements made
between the parties. The Company recognizes sales on an F.O.B. shipping point
basis.
The
Company sells rare coins to other wholesalers/dealers within its industry on
credit, generally for terms of 14 to 60 days, but in no event greater than one
year. The Company grants credit to new dealers based on extensive
credit evaluations and for existing dealers based on established business
relationships and payment histories. The Company generally does not obtain
collateral with which to secure its accounts receivable when the sale is made to
a dealer. The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses
based on an evaluation of specific receivables and its historical experience
related to credit losses. See “Critical Accounting
Estimates”.
Revenues
for monetary transactions (i.e., cash and receivables) with dealers are
recognized when the merchandise is shipped to the related dealer.
The
Company also sells rare coins to retail customers on credit, generally for terms
of 30 to 60 days, but in no event greater than one year. The Company
grants credit to new retail customers based on extensive credit evaluations and
for existing retail customers based on established business relationships and
payment histories. When a retail customer is granted credit, the Company
generally collects a payment of 25% of the sales price, establishes a payment
schedule for the remaining balance and holds the merchandise as collateral as
security against the customer’s receivable until all amounts due under the
credit arrangement are paid in full. If the customer defaults in the
payment of any amount when due, the Company may declare the customer’s
obligation in default, liquidate the collateral in a commercially reasonable
manner using such proceeds to extinguish the remaining balance and disburse any
amount in excess of the remaining balance to the customer.
12
Under
this retail arrangement, revenues are recognized when the customer agrees to the
terms of the credit and makes the initial payment. We have a
limited-in-duration money back guaranty policy (as discussed
below).
In
limited circumstances, the Company exchanges merchandise for similar merchandise
and/or monetary consideration with both dealers and retail customers, for which
the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 845, “Nonmonetary
Transactions.” When the Company exchanges merchandise for similar merchandise
and there is no monetary component to the exchange, the Company does not
recognize any revenue. Instead, the basis of the merchandise relinquished
becomes the basis of the merchandise received, less any indicated impairment of
value of the merchandise relinquished. When the Company exchanges merchandise
for similar merchandise and there is a monetary component to the exchange, the
Company recognizes revenue to the extent of monetary assets received and
determine the cost of sale based on the ratio of monetary assets received to
monetary and non-monetary assets received multiplied by the cost of the assets
surrendered.
The
Company has a return policy (money-back guarantee). The policy covers
retail transactions involving graded rare coins only. Customers may return
graded rare coins purchased within 7 days of the receipt of the rare coins for a
full refund as long as the rare coins are returned in exactly the same condition
as they were delivered. In the case of rare coin sales on account, customers may
cancel the sale within 7 days of making a commitment to purchase the rare coins.
The receipt of a deposit and a signed purchase order evidences the commitment.
Any customer may return a coin if they can demonstrate that the coin is not
authentic, or there was an error in the description of a graded coin.
Revenues
from the sale of consigned goods are recognized as commission income on such
sale if the Company is acting as an agent for the consignor. If in the process
of selling consigned goods, the Company makes an irrevocable payment to a
consignor for the full amount due on the consignment and the corresponding
receivable from the buyer(s) has not been collected by the Company at that
payment date, the Company records that payment as a purchase and the sale of the
consigned good(s) to the buyer as revenue as the Company has assumed all
collection risk.
Income
Taxes. Income taxes are estimated for each jurisdiction
in which we operate. This involves assessing the current tax exposure together
with temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax
and financial statement accounting purposes. Any resulting deferred tax assets
are evaluated for recoverability based on estimated future taxable income. To
the extent that recovery is deemed not likely, a valuation allowance is
recorded. See “Critical Accounting Estimates”.
Taxes Collected
From Customers. FASB
Accounting Guidance allows companies to adopt a policy of presenting taxes in
the income statement on either a gross basis (included in revenues and costs) or
net basis (excluded from revenues). Taxes within the scope of this guidance
would include taxes that are imposed on a revenue transaction between a seller
and a customer, for example, sales taxes, use taxes, value-added taxes and some
types of excise taxes. The Company has consistently recorded all taxes within
the scope of this guidance on a net basis.
Inventories. The
Company acquires a majority of its retail jewelry inventory from individuals
that is pre-owned. The Company acquires the jewelry based on its own
internal estimate of the fair market value of the items offered for sale
considering factors such as the current spot market prices of precious metals
and current demand for the items offered for sale. Because the
overall market value for precious metals fluctuates, these fluctuations could
have either a positive or negative impact to the profitability of the
Company. The Company monitors these fluctuations to evaluate any
impairment to its retail jewelry inventory.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts.
The allowance for doubtful accounts requires management to estimate a
customer’s ability to satisfy its obligations. The estimate of the
allowance for doubtful accounts is particularly critical in the Company’s
wholesale coin segment where a significant amount of the Company’s trade
receivables are recorded. The Company evaluates the collectability of
receivables based on a combination of factors. In circumstances where the
Company is aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial
obligations, a specific reserve is recorded against amounts due to reduce the
net recognized receivable to the amount reasonably expected to be
collected. Additional reserves are established based upon the Company’s
perception of the quality of the current receivables, including the length of
time the receivables are past due, past experience of collectability and
underlying economic conditions. If the financial condition of the
Company’s customers were to deteriorate resulting in an impairment of their
ability to make payments, additional reserves would be required.
13
Impairment of
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets. In
evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, it is necessary to estimate the fair
value of the reporting units. The estimate of fair value of intangible
assets is generally determined on the basis of discounted future cash
flows. The estimate of fair value of the reporting units is generally
determined on the basis of discounted future cash flows supplemented by the
market approach. In estimating the fair value, management must make
assumptions and projections regarding such items as future cash flows, future
revenues, future earnings and other factors. The assumptions used in the
estimate of fair value are generally consistent with the past performance of
each reporting unit and are also consistent with the projections and assumptions
that are used in current operating plans. Such assumptions are subject to
change as a result of changing economic and competitive conditions. The
rate used to discount estimated cash flows is a rate corresponding to the
Company’s cost of capital, adjusted for risk where appropriate, and is dependent
upon interest rates at a point in time. There are inherent uncertainties
related to these factors and management’s judgment in applying them to the
analysis of goodwill impairment. It is possible that assumptions
underlying the impairment analysis will change in such a manner to cause further
impairment of goodwill, which could have a material impact on the Company’s
results of operations. .
The
analysis of the wholesale watch sales division resulting from the acquisition of
Fairchild with a carrying value of goodwill of $837,117 resulted in no
impairment as its estimated future discounted cash flows significantly exceeded
the net assets and related goodwill.
Income
Taxes.
The Company records deferred income tax assets and liabilities for
differences between the book basis and tax basis of the related net assets. The
Company records a valuation allowance, when appropriate, to adjust deferred tax
asset balances to the amount management expects to realize. Management
considers, as applicable, the amount of taxable income available in carry-back
years, future taxable income and potential tax planning strategies in assessing
the need for a valuation allowance. The Company has recorded the net present
value of the future expected benefits of the net operating loss (NOL)
carry-forward related to its subsidiary Superior Galleries, Inc. due to IRS loss
limitation rules. The Company will require future taxable income to
fully realize the net deferred tax asset resulting from the NOL.
As of
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes (“FIN 48”), as codified by ASC 740, “Income Taxes.”. The adoption
did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements or effective tax rate and did not result in any unrecognized tax
benefits.
Interest
costs and penalties related to income taxes are classified as interest expense
and general and administrative costs, respectively, in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements. For the years ended December 31, 2009
and 2008, the Company did not recognize any interest or penalty expense related
to income taxes. It is determined not to be reasonably likely for the amounts of
unrecognized tax benefits to significantly increase or decrease within the next
12 months. The Company is currently subject to a three year statute of
limitations by major tax jurisdictions. The Company and its subsidiaries file
income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction.

Results
of Operations
Three
Months Ended June 30, 2010 compared to Three Months Ended June 30,
2009
Sales
decreased by $880,000 or 4.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to 2009. This decrease was primarily the result of a
($2,292,000) or 47.2% decrease in rare coin sales and ($222,000), or 26.2%
decrease in our wholesale jewelry sales. The decrease in rare
coin sales was due a decrease in demand resulting from a less volatile gold
market and due to the sluggish retail environment. These decreases were partly
offset by a $1,509,000 increase in precious metal sales. Cost of
goods as a percentage of sales was relatively unchanged from 2009 to
2010.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased by $295,794 or 13.0%, during the
three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to 2009. This increase was
primarily due to higher advertising and payroll related cost. The
decrease in interest expense is due to lower interest rates on our line of
credit.
Other
income during 2010 was a result of the transaction
concluded with the Receiver in the matter of Stanford International Bank LTD
Income
tax expense is directly affected by the levels of pretax income and
non-deductible permanent differences. The Company’s effective tax rate for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were 18.0% and 16.0%,
respectively.
Historically,
changes in the market prices of precious metals have had a significant impact on
both revenues and cost of sales in the rare coin and precious metals segments in
which we operate. It is expected that due to the commodity nature of these
products, future price changes for precious metals will continue to be
indicative of our performance in these business segments. Changes in sales and
cost of sales in the retail and wholesale jewelry segments are primarily
influenced by the national economic environment. It is expected that this trend
will continue in the future due to the nature of these product.
Six
Months Ended June 30, 2010 compared to Six Months Ended June 30,
2009
Sales
decreased by $8,880,000 or 18.9%, during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as
compared to 2009. This decrease was primarily the result of a
$844,000, or 6.9%, decrease in retail jewelry sales, a 3,725,000, or 15.5,
decrease in the sale of precious metal products, a $3,813,000 or 42.3% decrease
in rare coin sales and a $498,000, or 27.7% decrease in our wholesale jewelry
sales. The decreases in precious metals and rare coin sales were due
to a decrease in demand resulting from a less volatile gold market. The decrease
in jewelry sales was due to the sluggish retail
environment. Cost of goods as a percentage of sales was
relatively unchanged from 2009 to 2010.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased by $460,119 or 10.0%, during the
six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to 2009. This increase was primarily
due to higher advertising and payroll related cost. The decrease in interest
expense is due to lower interest rates on our line of credit.
Other
income during 2010 was a result of the transaction
concluded with the Receiver in the matter of Stanford International Bank
LTD
Income
tax expense is directly affected by the levels of pretax income and
non-deductible permanent differences. The Company’s effective tax rate for the
six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were 18.0% and 16.0%,
respectively.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
During
the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 cash flows from operating activities
totaled ($298,446) and $426,902, respectively. During 2010 the ($298,446) cash
flows from operating activities were primarily the result of the decrease in
current liabilities ($2,105,930) which was partly offset by the decrease in
inventory $2,226,562. Cash flows from operating activities during
2009 were primarily the result of a decrease in inventory $279,219, a decrease
in accounts payable and accrued expenses ($1,098,890), an increase in federal
income taxes payable $102,733,an increase in prepaid expenses ($142,570), a
decrease in customer deposits ($248,243) and a decrease in trade receivables
875,159. The decrease in inventory and customer deposits was due to a decrease
in demand for precious metal products. The decrease in trade receivables was a
result of a decrease in the sales of wholesale jewelry products.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2006 cash flows from investing activities
totaled ($121,839) and $1,225,635, respectively. During 2010 the
Company invested $184,239 in property and equipment. During 2009 the primary
source of cash from investing activities was the result of cash received from
the sale of the Company’s pawn shops in June 2009.
15
During
the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 cash flows from financing activities
totaled ($56,715) and ($652,095), respectively. The use of cash during 2010 and
2009 was the result of repayment of loans.
We expect
capital expenditures to total approximately $100,000 during the next twelve
months. It is anticipated that these expenditures will be funded from
working capital. As of June 30, 2010 there were no commitments outstanding for
capital expenditures.
In the
event of significant growth in retail and or wholesale jewelry sales, the demand
for additional working capital will expand due to a related need to stock
additional jewelry inventory and increases in wholesale accounts
receivable. Historically, vendors have offered us extended payment
terms to finance the need for jewelry inventory growth and our management
believes that we will continue to do so in the future. Any
significant increase in wholesale accounts receivable will be financed under a
new bank credit facility or from short-term loans from individuals.
Our
ability to finance our operations and working capital needs are dependent upon
management’s ability to negotiate extended terms or refinance its
debt. We have historically renewed, extended or replaced short-term
debt as it matures and management believes that we will be able to continue to
do so in the near future.
From time
to time, we have adjusted our inventory levels to meet seasonal demand or in
order to meet working capital requirements. Management is of the opinion that if
additional working capital is required, additional loans can be obtained from
individuals or from commercial banks. If necessary, inventory levels
may be adjusted in order to meet unforeseen working capital
requirements.
On May
27, 2010, the Company announced that Texas Capital Bank has agreed to renew and
increase the size of its current credit facility. The new facility is composed
of a $3.5 million revolving note and a $1.0 million term loan and will provide
immediate availability to finance current operations. The agreement
was finalized and funded June 2, 2010. Borrowings under the revolving
credit facility are collateralized by a general security interest in
substantially all of our assets (other than the assets of Superior). As of June
30, 2010, approximately $4.0 million was outstanding under the term loan
and revolving credit facility. If we were to default under the terms and
conditions of the revolving credit facility, Texas Capital Bank would have the
right to accelerate any indebtedness outstanding and foreclose on our assets in
order to satisfy our indebtedness. Such a foreclosure could have a material
adverse effect on our business, liquidity, results of operations and financial
position. This credit facility matures in June 2011.
The
covenants associated with our credit facility with Texas Capital Bank, N.A.
exclude Superior Galleries are as follows:

On
October 17, 2007, we closed on the purchase of our new headquarters
location. As a result, we assumed a new loan with a remaining
principal balance of $2,323,484 and an interest rate of 6.70%. The
loan has required monthly payments of $20,192 with the final payment due on
August 1, 2016
Upon the
consummation of our acquisition of Superior, and after the exchange by Stanford
of $8.4 million of Superior debt for shares of Superior common stock, Superior
amended and restated its credit facility with Stanford. The amended and restated
commercial loan and security agreement, which we refer to as the loan agreement,
decreased the available credit line from $19.89 million to $11.5 million,
reflecting the $8.4 million debt exchange. Interest on the outstanding principal
balance accrued at the prime rate, as reported in the Wall Street Journal or,
during an event of default, at a rate 5% greater than the prime rate as so
reported.
On
January 27, 2010, DGSE and Stanford International Bank, LTD (‘SIBL”), which is
the beneficial owner of a significant equity interest in DGSE, a primary lender
to a wholly owned subsidiary of DGSE and subject to certain agreements with DGSE
and its Chairman, entered into definitive agreements
whereby SIBL would terminate all agreements, convert all of its debt,
interest and other expenses and sell all of its equity interests including
common stock and warrants to DGSE or its assignees.
16
On
January 27, 2010, DGSE Companies, Inc. (“DGSE”) and Stanford International Bank,
LTD (‘SIBL”), which prior to the closing of certain settlement agreements
discussed below was a beneficial owner of a significant equity interest in DGSE,
a primary lender to a wholly owned subsidiary of DGSE and subject to certain
agreements with DGSE and its Chairman, entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement and a Debt Conversion Agreement to settle DGSE’s lawsuit against
SIBL. On May 25, 2010, DGSE and SIBL and a third party entered
in a closing agreement to finalize the settlement agreements upon the approval
of the settlement by the United States District Court for the Northern District
of Texas which has jurisdiction for the assets of SIBL. Upon
closing of the transaction, SIBL terminated all agreements, converted all of its
debt, interest and other expenses for 1,000 shares of DGSE common stock
and sold 3,000,000 shares of common stock common stock to DGSE’s assignee,
NTR Metals for $3,000,000 under a Partial Assignment
Agreement. Pursuant to the partial assignment of the Company’s rights
as a Buyer to NTR under the Company-SIBL Purchase Agreement, NTR acquired
directly from SIBL 3,000,000 Shares of the Company (the “NTR Acquired
Interest”). The parties agreed that the remaining portion of the SIBL Equity
Interest (i.e. 377,361 Shares) be transferred as designated by the Company. SIBL
cancelled 422,814 additional warrants to purchase additional shares of DGSE as
part of the settlement agreement. As a result of the transaction, the
Company recognized a gain of $9,198,570 related to the cancellation of
debt.

Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements.

condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital
expenditures or capital resources that is material to
stockholders.
Item
3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The
following discussion about our market risk disclosures involves forward-looking
statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the
forward-looking statements. We are exposed to market risk related to changes in
interest rates and gold values. We are also exposed to regulatory risk in
relation to its pawn loans. We do not use derivative financial
instruments.
Our
earnings and financial position may be affected by changes in gold values and
the resulting impact on pawn lending and jewelry sales. The proceeds of scrap
sales and our ability to liquidate excess jewelry inventory at an acceptable
margin are dependent upon gold values. The impact on our financial position and
results of operations of a hypothetical change in gold values cannot be
reasonably estimated.
Item
4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls
and procedures. An evaluation was performed under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the
period covered by this quarterly report. Our disclosure controls and
procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by
us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms
and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief
Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in internal
controls. For the quarter ended June 30, 2010, there have been
no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that have materially
affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
