CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

|
GENERAL
|
The
accompanying unaudited condensed 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 and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which
consisted of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2009.
|
|
The
balance sheet at December 31, 2008 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.
|
|
For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2008.
|
|
A
group that includes the Company’s Chairman of the Board, R. Randall
Rollins and his brother Gary W. Rollins, who is also director of the
Company, and certain companies under their control, controls in excess of
fifty percent of the Company’s voting power.
|
|
The
Company has considered subsequent events through August 5, 2009, the
date of issuance, in preparing the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto.

EARNINGS
PER SHARE
|
Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) 128, “Earnings Per Share,”
requires a basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share
presentation. The two calculations differ as a result of the dilutive
effect of stock options and time lapse restricted shares and performance
restricted shares included in diluted earnings per share, but excluded
from basic earnings per share. Basic and diluted earnings per share are
computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of
shares outstanding during the respective periods. A reconciliation of
weighted average shares outstanding is as
follows:

In
June 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) EITF 03-6-1,
“Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment
Transactions Are Participating Securities,” to clarify that all
outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain
non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid
or unpaid, are participating securities. An entity must include
participating securities in its calculation of basic and diluted earnings
per share (EPS) pursuant to the two-class method, as described in FASB
Statement 128, Earnings per Share. The Company has periodically issued
share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to
dividends. The Company evaluated the impact of FSP EITF 03-6-1 and
determined that the impact was not material and determined the basic and
diluted earnings per share amounts as reported are equivalent to the basic
and diluted earnings per share amounts calculated under FSP EITF
03-6-1.

In
May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards (SFAS) No. 165,
“Subsequent Events.” Statement 165 establishes general standards of
accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet
date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be
issued. SFAS 165 provides guidance regarding the period after the balance
sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate
events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or
disclosure in the financial statements; the circumstances under which an
entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance
sheet date in its financial statements; and the disclosures that an entity
should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance
sheet date. The Company adopted SFAS 165 in the second quarter of 2009 and
the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.
|

Financial
Accounting Standards Board Staff Positions and
Interpretations
|
|
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value
When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have
Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not
Orderly.” FSP SFAS 157-4 affirms that the objective of fair
value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would
be received to sell the asset in an orderly transaction, and includes
additional factors for determining whether there has been a significant
decrease in market activity for an asset when the market for that asset is
not active. FSP SFAS 157-4 requires an entity to base its
conclusion about whether a transaction was not orderly on the weight of
the evidence. The Company adopted FSP 157-4 in the second quarter of 2009
and the adoption of this FSP did not have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.
|
|
In
April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2,
“Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.” FSP
SFAS 115-2 and SFAS 124-2 (i) changes existing guidance for
determining whether an impairment is other than temporary to debt
securities and (ii) replaces the existing requirement that the
entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an
impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management
assert: (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security; and
(b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security
before recovery of its cost basis. Under FSP SFAS 115-2 and
SFAS 124-2, declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and
available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other
than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses to the extent
the impairment is related to credit losses. The amount of the impairment
related to other factors is recognized in other comprehensive income. The
Company adopted this FSP in the second quarter of 2009 and the adoption of
this FSP did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated
financial statements.

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.” FSP SFAS
107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments,” to require an entity to provide disclosures about
fair value of financial instruments in interim financial information and
amends Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28,
“Interim Financial Reporting,” to require those disclosures in summarized
financial information at interim reporting periods. Under
FSP SFAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, a publicly traded company
shall include disclosures about the fair value of its financial
instruments whenever it issues summarized financial information for
interim reporting periods. In addition, entities must disclose, in the
body or in the accompanying notes of its summarized financial information
for interim reporting periods and in its financial statements for annual
reporting periods, the fair value of all financial instruments for which
it is practicable to estimate that value, whether recognized or not
recognized in the statement of financial position, as required by
SFAS 107. The Company adopted this FSP in the second quarter of 2009.
See Note 12 for related disclosures.

In
June 2009, the
FASB issued 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 establishes the Codification as the
single source of authoritative U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles in addition to the rules and interpretive releases of the SEC
under authority of federal securities laws. Statement 168 and the
Codification are effective for financial statements issued for interim and
annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. When effective, the
Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting
standards. As required, the Company plans to adopt SFAS 168 in the third
quarter of 2009 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact
on its consolidated financial statements.
|
|
In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB
Interpretation No. 46(R).” SFAS 167 changes how a reporting entity
determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not
controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The
determination of whether a reporting entity is required to consolidate
another entity is based on, among other things, the other entity’s purpose
and design and the reporting entity’s ability to direct the activities of
the other entity that most significantly impact the other entity’s
economic performance. SFAS 167 is effective January 1, 2010, for a
calendar year-end entity, with early application not being permitted.
Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

In
June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of
Financial Assets,” SFAS 166 is a revision to SFAS No. 140, “Accounting for
Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of
Liabilities”, and requires more information about transfers of financial
assets, including securitization transactions, and where entities have
continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets.
It eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,”
changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires
additional disclosures. SFAS 166 is effective January 1, 2010, for a
calendar year-end entity, with early application not being permitted.
Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In
December 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 132R-1,
“Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets.” The
FASB issued the FSP, which amends FASB Statement 132R, Employers’ Disclosures about
Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, in order to provide
adequate transparency about the types of assets and associated risks in
employers’ postretirement plans. Disclosures are designed to provide an
understanding of how investment decisions are made: the major categories
of plan assets; the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the
fair value of plan assets; the effect of fair value measurements using
significant unobservable inputs on changes in plan assets for the period;
and significant concentrations of risk within plan assets The disclosures
about plan assets required by this FSP are required to be provided for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2009, with no restatement required
for earlier periods that are presented for comparative purposes, upon
initial application. Earlier application of the provisions of this FSP is
permitted. The Company is currently in the process of determining the
additional disclosures required upon the adoption of this
FSP.

Marine
Products maintains investments held with a large, well-capitalized
financial institution. Management determines the appropriate
classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates
such designations as of each balance sheet date. Debt securities are
classified as available-for-sale because the Company does not have the
intent to hold the securities to maturity. Available-for-sale securities
are stated at their fair values, with the unrealized gains and losses, net
of tax, reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. The cost
of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
Realized gains and losses, declines in value judged to be other than
temporary, interest and dividends on available-for-sale securities are
included in interest income. The fair value and the unrealized gains

Repurchase
Obligations
|
|
The
Company is a party to various agreements with third party lenders that
provide floor plan financing to qualifying dealers whereby the Company
guarantees varying amounts of debt on boats in dealer inventory. The
Company’s obligation under these guarantees becomes effective in the case
of a default under the financing arrangement between the dealer and the
third party lender. The agreements provide for the return of repossessed
boats in “like new” condition to the Company, in exchange for the
Company’s assumption of specified percentages of the debt obligation on
those boats, up to certain contractually determined dollar limits by
lender.
|
|
As
a result of dealer defaults, the Company became contractually obligated to
repurchase inventory for approximately $2.6 million during the fourth
quarter of 2008 and approximately $5.3 million during the six months ended
June 30, 2009. At December 31, 2008, the amount payable to floor plan
lenders for inventory repurchases was $2.4 million and as June 30, 2009,
all repurchase obligations due to lenders have been paid in full. As of
June 30, 2009, there were no repossessed boats remaining in inventory as
the Company redistributed all repurchased boats among existing and
replacement dealers. The Company recorded costs in connection with these
repurchases of approximately $0.7 million during the first quarter of 2009
and $0.2 million during the second quarter of 2009 in selling, general and
administrative expenses.
|
|
Management
continues to monitor the risk of additional defaults and resulting
repurchase obligations based in part on information provided by the
third-party floor plan lender and will adjust the guarantee liability at
the end of each reporting period based on information reasonably available
at that time. As of June 30, 2009, the fair value of the remaining
guarantee liability is $50
thousand.

Historically,
and during most of 2008, there were at least two major marine dealer floor
plan financing institutions. At the end of 2008, one of these institutions
announced that it would cease floor plan lending to all unaffiliated
dealers including those in the marine industry. Subsequent to June 30,
2009, an amendment to the current agreement with one of the Company's
lenders has been executed with a contractual repurchase limit of $9.0
million effective January 1, 2009 which will expire June 30, 2010. The
Company has contractual repurchase agreements with two additional lenders
with an aggregate remaining repurchase obligation of approximately $2.1
million which effectively expire June 30, 2010. Effective July 1, 2009,
the Company has an aggregate remaining repurchase obligation dollar limit
of approximately $6.5 million with these three financing
institutions.

For
the second quarter of 2009, the income tax benefit reflects an effective
tax rate of 35.3 percent, compared to an effective tax rate of 22.6
percent for the comparable period in the prior year. For the six months
ended June 30, 2009, the income tax benefit reflects an effective tax rate
of 38.2 percent, compared to an effective tax rate of 25.7 percent for the
comparable period in the prior year. The increase in the effective rate
was due primarily to the relationship of our pretax income (loss) to
permanent differences between book and taxable income.

FAIR
VALUE MEASUREMENTS
|
The
Company adopted SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements,” and FSP 157-2,
“Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” in the first quarter of 2008.
SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value and expands disclosure requirements about items measured at fair
value. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. It
applies to accounting pronouncements that already require or permit fair
value measures. As a result, the Company will not be required to recognize
any new assets or liabilities at fair value. FSP 157-2 delays the
effective date of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair
value in the financial statements on a recurring
basis.
|
17
MARINE
PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SFAS 157
establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based
on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions (unobservable
inputs). The hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows:
Level
1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities
|
|
Level
2 – Inputs other than level 1 that are either directly or indirectly
observable
|
|
Level
3 – Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and
assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would
use.
|
Securities:
The
Company determines the fair value of marketable securities that are available
for sale and investments in the non-qualified plan that are trading using quoted
market prices. The adoption of SFAS 157 had no effect on the Company’s valuation
of these marketable securities or investments.

The
carrying amount of other financial instruments reported in the balance sheet for
current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values because of
the short term maturity of these instruments.
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115.” This statement permits entities to choose to
measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This
statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, including interim periods within that
fiscal year. The Company did not elect the fair value option for any of its
existing financial instruments and the Company has not determined whether or not
it will elect this option for financial instruments it may acquire in the
future.

MARINE
PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Marine
Products Corporation, through our wholly-owned subsidiaries Chaparral and
Robalo, is a leading manufacturer of recreational fiberglass powerboats. Our
sales and profits are generated by selling the products that we manufacture to a
network of independent dealers who in turn sell the products to retail
customers. These dealers are located throughout the continental United States
and in several international markets. A majority of these dealers finance their
inventory through third-party floorplan lenders, who pay Marine Products
generally within seven to 10 days after delivery of the products to the
dealers.
The
discussion on business and financial strategies of the Company set forth under
the heading “Overview” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 is incorporated herein by reference. There
have been no significant changes in the strategies since year-end.
In
implementing these strategies and attempting to optimize our financial returns,
management closely monitors dealer orders and inventories, the production mix of
its various models, and indications of near term demand such as consumer
confidence, interest rates, fuel costs, dealer orders placed at our annual
dealer conferences, and retail attendance and orders at annual winter boat show
exhibitions. We also consider trends related to certain key financial and other
data, including our market share, unit sales of our products, average selling
price per unit, and gross profit margins, among others, as indicators of the
success of our strategies. Marine Products’ financial results are affected by
consumer confidence — because pleasure boating is a discretionary expenditure,
interest rates and credit availability — because many retail customers finance
the purchase of their boats, and other socioeconomic and environmental factors
such as availability of leisure time, consumer preferences, demographics and the
weather.
Our
production levels were maintained at very low levels during the first six months
of 2009 in response to our concerns about dealer and consumer demand for
products in our industry, which resulted from continued problems in the housing
market, high fuel prices and concern regarding a general economic slowdown. In
the second quarter of 2009, our production levels were significantly lower than
the levels during the second quarter of 2008. Despite ongoing cost reduction
efforts, the Company sustained an operating loss during the second quarter of
2009 primarily due to manufacturing cost inefficiencies as a result of very low
production levels and sales to dealers, as well as additional expenses recorded
for our dealer inventory reduction programs. However, as a result of our
inventory reduction efforts, our dealer inventory levels are down 45% in
comparison to the same period in 2008. Consistent with the overall reduction in
demand for recreational products, including fiberglass boats, our unit backlog
at the end of the quarter has declined significantly in comparison to this time
last year.
19
MARINE
PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
OUTLOOK
The
discussion on the outlook for 2009 is incorporated herein by reference from the
Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2008.
The weak
dealer and customer demand for recreational boats that began almost four years
ago continued during the second quarter of 2009. The ongoing recession and lack
of consumer financing continued to prevent consumers from making large
discretionary purchases. The continued real estate downturn, particularly in key
boating markets, also continued to affect the recreational boating industry.
Cool, rainy weather in the Northeast, which has a short boating season, may have
also reduced retail demand in this important market for the Company’s products.
These factors combined to make the 2009 retail selling season weaker than last
year. The ongoing curtailment of business lending has also made it difficult for
dealers to secure inventory financing, which has reduced their ability to carry
large amounts of inventory. As of the end of the second quarter of 2009, the
Company has an agreement in place with a large floor plan lender for the 2010
model year on terms which the Company believes are consistent with current
conditions in the credit markets. While this floor plan lender has not yet
reached agreement with our individual dealers, the Company believes at this time
that such agreements will be reached and that inventory financing will be
available for our dealers in the upcoming model year.
Marine
Products does not believe that there are any near-term catalysts which will
improve the retail selling environment for our products, and as a result, we
have continued to maintain lower production levels in order to manage dealer
inventory. We have accomplished this by plant consolidation in the fourth
quarter of 2008 and additional workforce reductions, as well as periodically
idling our manufacturing operations on a regular, planned schedule. In addition,
the weak selling environment and dealer inventory levels required us to develop
sales incentive programs in 2009 designed to sell dealer boat inventory. We
developed a new retail incentive program to be in effect during the 2009 spring
retail selling season, which has been in effect through the second quarter of
2009. We believe that this program benefited our dealers by enhancing their
short-term financial results, and we believe that this program will benefit our
dealers and the Company by enabling us to produce and sell current-year models
when retail demand returns. However, the cost of this retail incentive program
totaling approximately $4.3 million contributed to us realizing a significant
operating loss for the second quarter of 2009.
The
Company’s strategy at the present time is to produce an appropriate quantity of
2010 model-year products in order to meet firm demand and preserve the value of
our brand names, while continuing a prudent amount of product development
efforts for the future. In addition, we will continue to monitor dealer field
inventory as we begin to ship products produced during the 2010 model year. We
are also monitoring the long-term effects of the protracted downturn in our
industry in order to take advantage of opportunities that may arise due to the
financial difficulties of other manufacturers. Such opportunities may include
gaining new dealers or increasing market share as other manufacturers become
insolvent.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
2009 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008
Net sales for the three
months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $43.1 million or 77.4 percent compared to
the comparable period in 2008. The change in net sales was due primarily to an
80.4 percent decrease in the number of boats sold partially offset by a 9.6
percent increase in the average gross selling price per boat. Unit sales among
all models declined significantly compared to the prior year, due to our dealers
meeting retail demand by liquidating existing inventory. Sales of the Chaparral
Sunesta Wide Techs and Xtremes and sales of several Premiere Sports Yachts
during the quarter accounted for the increase in the average selling price per
boat. In the second quarter of 2009, sales outside of the United States
accounted for 22.5 percent of net sales compared to 37.9 percent of net sales in
the prior year.
Cost of goods sold for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 was $12.2 million compared to $44.7 million for the
comparable period in 2008, a decrease of $32.6 million or 72.8 percent. Cost of
goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, increased primarily as the result of
significant manufacturing cost inefficiencies due to very low production volumes
and sales.
Selling, general and administrative
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $6.8 million
compared to $6.6 million for the comparable period in 2008, an increase of $0.2
million or 2.3 percent. The increase in selling, general and administrative
expenses was primarily due to $4.3 million in expenses for dealer inventory
reduction efforts, partially offset by decreases in other expenses which vary
with sales and profitability, as well as the impact of ongoing cost reduction
measures. Warranty expense was 1.5 percent of net sales for the three months
ended June 30, 2009 compared to 1.7 percent in the prior year. Additionally,
costs incurred during the second quarter of 2009 in connection with boat
repurchase obligations totaled approximately $0.2 million.
21
MARINE
PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Operating (loss) income for
the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $10.7 million compared to the
comparable period in 2008. Operating loss was primarily due to a significant
decline in gross profit and higher selling, general and administrative
expenses.
Interest income was $0.4
million during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and $0.6 million for the
comparable period in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the
short term interest rates compared to prior year.
Income tax (benefit)
provision for the three months ended June 30, 2009 of $(2.1) million was
$3.2 million lower than the income tax provision of $1.1 million for the
comparable period in 2008. The income tax benefit for the three months ended
June 30, 2009 reflects a beneficial effective tax rate of 35.3 percent, compared
to an effective tax rate of 22.6 percent for the comparable period in the prior
year. The change in the effective tax rate was due primarily to the relationship
of our pretax income (loss) to permanent differences between book and taxable
income.
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
2009 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008
Net sales for the six months
ended June 30, 2009 decreased $94.9 million or 78.2 percent compared to the
comparable period in 2008. The change in net sales was due primarily to a 79.0
percent decrease in the number of boats sold partially offset by a 4.4 percent
increase in average gross selling price per boat. Unit sales among all models
declined significantly compared to the prior year. Sales of the Chaparral
Sunesta Wide Techs and Xtremes in addition to the sales of several Premiere
Sports Yachts accounted for the increase in the average selling price per boat.
For the six months ended June 30, 2009, sales outside of the United States
accounted for 29.0 percent of net sales compared to 34.9 percent of net sales in
the prior year.
Cost of goods sold for the six months ended
June 30, 2009 was $26.0 million compared to $96.8 million for the comparable
period in 2008, a decrease of $70.8 million or 73.1 percent. Cost of goods sold,
as a percentage of net sales, increased primarily as the result of significant
manufacturing cost inefficiencies due to very low production volumes and
sales.
Selling, general and administrative
expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $11.5 million
compared to $14.9 million for the comparable period in 2008, a decrease of $3.4
million or 22.9 percent. The decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses was primarily due to the variable nature of many of these expenses,
including incentive compensation, which declined as a percentage of sales
consistent with lower sales and profitability, and warranty expense partially
offset by $4.3 million in expenses for dealer inventory reduction efforts. Also,
salary, research and development and advertising expenses were lower due to cost
control measures instituted in the past year. Additionally, costs incurred
during the six month ended June 30, 2009 in connection with boat repurchase
obligations totaled approximately $0.7 million.

MARINE
PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Operating (loss) income for

administrative expenses.
Interest income was $0.8
million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and $1.2 million for the
comparable period in 2008. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the
short term interest rates compared to prior year.
Income tax (benefit)
provision for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $(3.9) million was
$6.7 million lower than the income tax provision of $2.8 million for the

|
Cash
provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009
decreased approximately $14.0 million compared to the comparable period in 2008.
This decrease is primarily the result of a decrease in net earnings and the
payment of repurchase obligations to lenders partially offset by lower working
capital requirements for inventory and accounts receivable consistent with lower
sales in 2009 compared to 2008.
Cash
provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009
increased approximately $8.5 million compared to the comparable period in 2008,
which resulted primarily from the sales of long-term marketable securities in
2009.
Cash used
for financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased
approximately $5.3 million primarily due to a reduction in dividends paid per
share during 2009 compared to 2008 coupled with lower cost of common share
repurchases in 2009.
Financial
Condition and Liquidity
The
Company believes that the liquidity provided by existing cash, cash equivalents
and marketable securities, its overall strong capitalization, and cash generated
from operations, will provide sufficient capital to meet the Company’s
requirements for the next twelve months.
The
Company’s decisions about the amount of cash to be used for investing and
financing purposes are influenced by its capital position and the expected
amount of cash to be provided by operations.
Cash
Requirements
The
Company currently expects that capital expenditures during 2009 will be
approximately $365 thousand, of which $62 thousand has been spent through June
30, 2009.
24
MARINE
PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
The
Company participates in a multiple employer Retirement Income Plan, sponsored by
RPC, Inc. (“RPC”). The Company does not currently expect to make any
contributions to this plan during 2009.
On April
28, 2009, the Board of Directors voted to suspend the quarterly cash dividend to
common stockholders.
On
January 22, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized an additional 3,000,000
shares that the Company may repurchase, increasing the number of shares
available for repurchase. The Company has purchased a total of 4,925,157 shares
in the open market as of June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, there are 3,324,843
shares that remain available for repurchase. The Company did not repurchase any
shares under this program during the six months ended June 30,
2009.
The
Company incurred obligations for inventory repurchases totaling approximately
$5.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 resulting from dealer
defaults on floor plan financing. As of June 30, 2009, there are no outstanding
amounts due to lenders for inventory repurchases and all repossessed boats have
been redistributed among existing and replacement dealers. If additional dealers
experience financial difficulty as a result of the current market conditions,
the Company may incur additional repurchase obligations under current programs
or programs initiated in the future for the 2010 model year. See further
information regarding repurchase obligations in Note 7 of the Consolidated
Financial Statements and in the section below titled “Off Balance Sheet
Arrangements.”
The
Company warrants the entire boat, excluding the engine, against defects in
materials and workmanship for a period of one year. The Company also warrants
the entire deck and hull, including its bulkhead and supporting stringer system,
against defects in materials and workmanship for periods ranging from five to
ten years. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a detail of
activity in the warranty accruals during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and
2008.
OFF BALANCE SHEET
ARRANGEMENTS
To assist
dealers in obtaining financing for the purchase of its boats for inventory, the
Company has entered into agreements with various third-party floor plan lenders
whereby the Company guarantees varying amounts of debt for qualifying dealers on
boats in inventory. The Company’s obligation under these guarantees becomes
effective in the case of a default under the financing arrangement between the
dealer and the third-party lender. The agreements provide for the return of all
repossessed boats in “like new” condition to the Company, in exchange for the
Company’s assumption of specified percentages of the debt obligation on those
boats, up to certain contractually determined dollar limits which vary by
lender. As a result of dealer defaults, the Company became contractually
obligated to repurchase dealer inventory for approximately $5.3 million during
the six months ended June 30, 2009.
Management
continues to monitor the risk of additional defaults and resulting repurchase
obligation based in part on information provided by the third-party floor plan
lenders and will adjust the guarantee liability at the end of each reporting
period based on information reasonably available at that time. See further
information regarding repurchase obligations in Note 7 of the Consolidated
Financial Statements.
25
MARINE
PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Historically,
and during most of 2008, there were at least two major marine dealer floor plan
financing institutions. At the end of 2008, one of these institutions announced
that it would cease floor plan lending to all unaffiliated dealers including
those in the marine industry. Subsequent to June 30, 2009, an amendment to
the current agreement with one of the Company's lenders has been executed with a
contractual repurchase limit of $9.0 million effective January 1, 2009 which
will expire June 30, 2010. The Company has contractual repurchase agreements
with two additional lenders with an aggregate remaining repurchase obligation of
approximately $2.1 million which effectively expire June 30, 2010. Effective
July 1, 2009, the Company has an aggregate remaining repurchase obligation
dollar limit of approximately $6.5 million with these three financing
institutions.
RELATED PARTY
TRANSACTIONS
In
conjunction with its spin-off from RPC in 2001, the Company and RPC entered into
various agreements that define their relationship after the spin-off. A detailed
discussion of the various agreements in effect is contained in the Company’s
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. RPC charged the
Company for its allocable share of administrative costs incurred for services
rendered on behalf of Marine Products totaling approximately $0.4 million in the
six months ended June 30, 2009 and approximately $0.5 million in the six months
ended June 30, 2008.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING
POLICIES
The
discussion of Critical Accounting Policies is incorporated herein by reference
from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2008. There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting
policies since year-end.
IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING
PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Notes
3 and 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recent
accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and
estimated effects on results of operations and financial condition.
SEASONALITY
Marine
Products’ quarterly operating results are affected by weather and general
economic conditions. Quarterly operating results for the second quarter
historically have reflected the highest quarterly sales volume during the year
with the first quarter being the next highest sales quarter. However, the
results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
in any future period.
26
MARINE
PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
INFLATION
During
the third and fourth quarters of 2008, the Company experienced a significant
decline in certain material and component costs that include hydrocarbon
feedstocks and industrial metals such as copper. The fall in prices has led to
lower material costs. During the first and second quarters of 2009, the prices
of some of these commodities have increased, although they are still much lower
than they were in the second quarter of 2008. We believe that the prices for
these commodities will remain stable or will rise in the near term, so no
assurance can be given regarding the prices at which they can be purchased in
the future. Also, given low retail consumer demand for the Company’s products at
the present time, no assurance can be given that the Company will be able to
institute price increases to its dealers in the event that the prices of its raw
materials and components increase in the future.
New boat
buyers typically finance their purchases. Higher inflation typically results in
higher interest rates that could translate into an increased cost of boat
ownership. Prospective buyers may choose to forego or delay their purchases or
buy a less expensive boat in the event that interest rates rise. High inflation
and interest rates are not a concern at the present time, although they may
become an issue in the future.
FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Certain
statements made in this report that are not historical facts are
“forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, the
expected effect of recent accounting pronouncements on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements; the Company’s estimate of the guarantee
liability under dealer floor plan financing arrangements; the Company’s
expectation that it will not make any contributions to its pension plan in 2009;
the Company’s belief that its dealers will reach agreement with is floor plan
lender for inventory financing for the upcoming model year; the Company’s belief
that there are not any near-term catalysts which will improve the retail selling
environment; the Company’s ability to produce an appropriate quantity of
current-year models to meet firm demand and preserve the value of brand names
while maintaining a prudent amount of research and development to develop new
2010 models; the Company’s ability to take advantages of opportunities that may
arise due to financial difficulties of other manufacturers; the Company’s belief
that its liquidity, capitalization and cash expected to be generated from
operations will provide sufficient capital to meet the Company’s requirements
for the next twelve months; the Company’s expectations about capital
expenditures during 2009; that the Company may in the future incur additional
repurchase obligations as a result of dealer floor plan financing defaults; the
Company’s belief that the fall in prices of many commodities used as raw
materials for its manufacturing processes will remain stable or will rise in the
near future; the Company’s expectations regarding market risk of its investment
portfolio; and the Company’s expectation about the effect of litigation on the
Company’s financial position or results of operations. The words “may,”
“should,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,”
“believe,” “seek,” “project,” “estimate,” and similar expressions used in this
document that do not relate to historical facts are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements are based on certain assumptions and
analyses made by our management in light of its experience and its perception of
historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other
factors it believes to be appropriate. We caution you that such statements are
only predictions and not guarantees of future performance and that actual
results, developments and business decisions may differ from those envisioned by
the forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause such future events
not to occur as expected include the following: economic conditions,
unavailability of credit and possible decreases in the level of consumer
confidence impacting discretionary spending, business interruptions due to
adverse weather conditions, increased interest rates, unanticipated changes in
consumer demand and preferences, deterioration in the quality of Marine
Products’ network of independent boat dealers or availability of financing of
their inventory, our ability to insulate financial results against increasing
commodity prices, the impact of rising gasoline prices and a weak housing market
on consumer demand for our products, competition from other boat manufacturers
and dealers, and insurance companies that insure a number of Marine Products’
marketable securities have recently been downgraded, which may cause volatility
in the market price of Marine Products’ marketable securities. Additional
discussion of factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially
from management’s projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations is
contained in Marine Products’ Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company does not undertake
to update its forward-looking statements.

MARINE
PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Marine
Products does not utilize financial instruments for trading purposes and, as of
June 30, 2009, did not hold derivative financial instruments that could expose
the Company to significant market risk. Also, as of June 30, 2009, the Company’s
investment portfolio, totaling approximately $45.5 million and comprised
primarily of municipal debt securities, is subject to interest rate risk
exposure. This risk is managed through conservative policies to invest in
high-quality obligations that are both short-term and long-term in nature.
Because Marine Products’ investment portfolio mix has been allocated towards
securities with similar term maturities compared to the end of fiscal year 2008,
the risk of material market value fluctuations is not expected to be
significantly different from the end of fiscal year 2008 and the Company
currently expects no such changes through the remainder of the current
year.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls
and procedures - The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures
that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its
Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such
information is accumulated and communicated to its management, including the
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
28
MARINE
PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
As of the
end of the period covered by this report, June 30, 2009 (the “Evaluation Date”),
the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the
participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its
disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance
level as of the Evaluation Date.
Changes in internal control over
financial reporting - Management’s evaluation of changes in internal
control did not identify any changes in the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the Company’s most recent fiscal
quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
