Item 1. Business
Overview
We originally incorporated under the name The Flooring Zone, Inc. in the State of Nevada on May 5, 2003 and engaged in the retail floor covering business from that time until the end of 2007. On September 30, 2008 the Flooring Zone, Inc. entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Profire Combustion, Inc., an Alberta, Canada corporation, under which The Flooring Zone, Inc. acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of Profire Combustion, Inc. in exchange for the issuance of 35,000,000 common shares.
Following closing of the exchange, the three Profire Combustion, Inc. shareholders held 78% of The Flooring Zone, Inc. common stock outstanding after the transaction.
On December 8, 2008 we amended our Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the corporation to Profire Energy, Inc. The name change, and corresponding OTCBB trading symbol change from FZON to PFIE, became effective on January 20, 2009.
Principal Products and Services
We manufacture, install and service oilfield combustion management systems and related burner products. Our products aid oil and natural gas producers in the safe and efficient development and transportation of carbon-based fuels.
In the oil and natural gas industry there are numerous demands for heat generation and control. The product in pipelines and storage tanks must be kept sufficiently warm to flow efficiently. Equipment of all kinds, including line-heaters, dehydrators, dewaterers, separators, treaters, amine reboilers, free-water knockout systems, etc. require sources of heat to satisfy their various functions. In addition to the need for combustion products to meet heating demands, there is also a need for skilled combustion technicians. Profire was founded to try to meet some of these needs.
Initially, our primary focus was on providing installation and maintenance services to service the products and systems of other manufacturers. Management soon determined, however, that it would be in our best interest to also establish ourselves as a product supplier. Management also recognized the need to develop our own proprietary burner-management systems to monitor and control combustion. Our principal developmental goal in building our own system was to ensure that the system would meet or exceed the highest safety and quality standards in the industry and that the system would be functional and easily controlled by oilfield operators. With this goal in mind, we developed the Profire 1100 combustion-management system. This system has become widely popular in Western Canada, with sales to such companies as Exxon-Mobil, Shell, ConocoPhillips, Devon Energy, Petro-Canada, Encana and many others. This system has also been sold and installed in various parts of the world, including the United States, France, Italy, England, the Middle East, Australia, China and Brazil.
5
During our fourth fiscal quarter, we introduced a new product, the Profire 2100. The 2100 is a more powerful burner management system than the 1100. It complies with CSA and UL ratings and has expandability and remote access and data logging. It has more custom features than the 1100 and allows the end user much more flexibility in multiple field applications.
In addition to the Profire 1100 and 2100 combustion management systems, we manufacture other systems and products for sale, including a burner management system specific to incinerator systems, called the Profire 1100i and “fuel-trains” or “valve-trains” to accompany system installations. These fuel-trains include piping, valves, controls, etc., relating to the process of safely providing fuel to burners, as well as having safety controllers to monitor operations. We are also developing various products that will be introduced to the market over the next few years. These may range from valve systems to igniters. We continually assess market needs and look for opportunities to provide quality solutions to the oil and gas producing companies we serve.
Principal Markets
Since inception, we have focused our sales efforts primarily in Western Canada. Given our success in that market, we have determined to expand our sales efforts to other markets, particularly the U.S. market. Pursuant to our development strategy, we have purchased office and warehouse space in Lindon, Utah. At present, we believe the best way to penetrate foreign markets is to retain well-established supply companies to represent Profire products and market them to their existing customers. We hope to take advantage of those existing relationships to rapidly establish market share in new markets. We are currently contacting product supply houses in various new markets to represent our products. We have also begun to retain sales personnel in the U.S. market who are primarily responsible for creating and establishing these relationships. In Canada, Profire has a well established reputation and continues to utilize these relationships to sell its products directly to end users. Relationships also currently exist with three major distributors who continue to sell and create awareness for the companies’ products and services.
Demand for Profire Products
As government and industry continue to heighten safety standards, demand for combustion safety controllers and management systems, such as those we produce, continues to grow. The arena of mixing fire and gas is an area of obvious focus for safety regulators. Governing bodies have historically been reticent to establish standards that were too demanding, as safety products and policing capabilities were not readily available. More recently, however, regulators in the United States have begun enacting more stringent compliance and efficiency requirements. We have always focused on providing products and services that exceed existing safety standards, therefore, we believe demand for our products will increase as regulators continue to tighten safety and efficiency standards in the industry.
In addition to satisfying regulatory and safety requirements, we believe oil and gas companies are beginning to recognize the significant increases in efficiency, safety and emission control gains that can be realized through the use of our burner management systems and products.
6
Competition
Based on our experience, we believe most of the other companies in our industry are small one or two man service companies or product retailers who sell products but have no service department to support their products. As we continue to research and develop the US market we are beginning to see several companies that are marketing related and somewhat similar products. They include SureFire, Platinum and ACL. These competitors are limited regionally and tend to focus on areas close to their headquarters. While we believe the price is a significant method of competition within our industry, we believe the most important competitive factors are performance and quality. Profire has, and intends to continue to provide top quality high performance products.
We recognize that the oilfield services industry is highly competitive. As this industry grows and matures we expect additional companies will seek to enter this market. Many of these companies may be more highly capitalized, more experienced, more recognized or better situated to take advantage of market opportunities.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials
We have contracted with a third-party manufacturer, to manufacture our burner management systems, specifically the Profire 2100, 1100 and the Profire 1100i. This has helped to improve manufacturing efficiencies. Under the direction of our product engineers, the manufacturer is able to procure all electronic parts, specialty cases and components, and from those, assemble the complete system. Using specialty equipment and processes provided by us, the system is tested on-site by the manufacturer and if the finished product is acceptable, it is shipped to us for distribution. Orders to the manufacturer are typically for 500 to 1,000 systems. The shipments are usually limited to 250 systems, so that in the event any one shipment is lost or damaged, inventory levels are not seriously impacted. The entire process is typically completed within sixty days of issuing the purchase order.
While we have a contract in place with this manufacturer, should we lose its services, for whatever reason, we believe we have adequate alternative manufacturing sources available. We do not have contracts in place with the parties from whom we acquire parts and products. We believe, however, there are adequate alternative sources for parts and products available to us should they be needed. In the past, we have not experienced any sudden and dramatic increases in the prices of the major components for our systems. Because the component parts we use are all low priced (none are currently higher than $40), we do not anticipate that a sudden or dramatic increase in the price of any particular component part would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition even if we were unable to increase our sale prices proportionate to any such component price increases.
Dependence upon Major Customers
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009, the following customers accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues:

Often our customers, as is the case with Grit Industries Inc./A-Fire Holdings Ltd. and Heating Solutions International Inc., are contractors for large oil companies who specify the use of our equipment. Typically, our customers bid for the same jobs, so if one does not get the job, another will. Regardless, of who wins the contract, if the oil company bidding out the job requires our equipment the winning bidder has to acquire the equipment from us. Of course, the loss of any one or more of these major customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Backlog
As of March 31, 2011, there was no current backlog. Sales backlog consists of firm customer orders for which a purchase or work order has been received, satisfactory credit or a financing arrangement exists, and delivery is scheduled. There can be no assurance, however, that the orders representing such backlog will not be cancelled.
Patents, Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property
We believe that the success of our business depends more on the technical competence, creativity and marketing abilities of our employees than on any individual patent, trademark, or copyright. Historically, the cost, both in time and dollars, of seeking intellectual property protection has not made sense for us. Nevertheless, as part of our ongoing research, development and manufacturing activities, we may, in the future, seek patents or other appropriate intellectual property rights and protections.
Need for Governmental Approval of our Principal Products or Services
We are required to obtain certain safety certification/rating for our combustion management systems before they are released to the market. We have received the appropriate CSA and UL certifications for our burner management systems.
Effects of Compliance with Federal, State and Local Laws
Our business is affected by local, provincial, state, federal and foreign laws and other regulations relating to the gas and electric safety standards and codes presently extant in the oil and gas industry, as well as laws and regulations relating to worker safety and potentially environmental protection. We cannot predict the level of enforcement of existing laws and regulations or how such laws and regulations may be interpreted by enforcement agencies or court rulings, whether additional laws and regulations will be adopted, or the effect such changes may have on us, our business or financial condition.
8
Additionally, our customers are affected by laws and regulations relating to the exploration for and production of natural resources such as oil and natural gas. These regulations are subject to change and new regulations may curtail or eliminate customer activities in certain areas where we currently operate. We cannot determine the extent to which new legislation may impact customer activity levels, and ultimately, the demand for our products and services.
Research and Development
We place strong emphasis on product-oriented research and development relating to the development of new or improved products and systems. During the years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 we spent $107,900 and $73,727, respectively, on research and development programs. None of these research and development costs were directly borne by our customers.
Employees
As of June 15, 2011, we had approximately 18 employees, including 17 full-time employees. We have 13 employees working out of our Edmonton, Alberta Canada office and five working out of our Lindon, Utah, U.S. office.
Available Information
We file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and other items with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The public may read and copy any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. Alternatively, you may access these reports at the SEC’s internet website: http://www.sec.gov/.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the risks discussed under the heading “Business” we are subject to the following risks.
Risks Relating to our Business
Our business and financial condition could be materially impacted if we lose the services of certain employees. During the fiscal year we brought in additional employees and are working to cross train employees to lessen our dependence on any particular individual. We believe this has decreased our dependence on any one individual. We currently maintain key-man insurance on our CFO, Mr. Limpert but not on our other executive officers or employees. The policy on Mr. Limpert is a term policy with a two million dollar benefit to the Company. Although it would not solve the potential problem of a loss of the services of any particular employee, we may seek key-man insurance on the other key individuals, and perhaps others, to help in the case of such an event.
9
If we are unable to attract and retain skilled workers that could impair our growth potential and profitability. Our ability to remain productive and profitable depends substantially on our ability to attract and retain skilled workers. Our ability to expand our operations is in part impacted by our ability to increase our labor force. The demand for skilled oilfield employees is high and the supply is very limited. A significant increase in the wages paid by competing employers could result in a reduction in our skilled labor force, increases in the wage rates paid by us, or both. If either of these events were to occur, our capacity and profitability could be diminished, and our growth potential could be impaired.
The concentration of our customers in one industry and one region may impact our overall exposure to credit risk. Substantially all of our current customers operate in the energy industry in Western Canada. This concentration of customers in one industry and one region may impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic and industry conditions. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and do not generally require collateral in support of our trade receivables.
Our business has potential liability for litigation, personal injury and property damage claims assessments. Our operations involve exposure to inherent risks, including explosions and fires. If any of these events were to occur, it could result in liability for personal injury and property damage, pollution or other environmental hazards or loss of production. Litigation may arise from a catastrophic occurrence at a location where our equipment and services are used. This litigation could result in large claims for damages. The frequency and severity of such incidents could affect our operating costs, insurability and relationships with customers, employees and regulators. These occurrences could have a material adverse effect on Profire. We maintain what we believe is prudent insurance protection. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we consider reasonable or that our insurance coverage will be adequate to cover future claims and assessments that may arise.
Some of our products use equipment and materials that are available from a limited number of suppliers. We purchase equipment provided by a limited number of manufacturers who specialize in combustion burner equipment. During periods of high demand these manufacturers may not be able to meet our requests for timely delivery, resulting in delayed deliveries of equipment and higher prices for equipment. There are a limited number of suppliers for certain materials used in burner management systems, our largest product line. While these materials are generally available, supply disruptions can occur due to factors beyond our control. Such disruptions, delayed deliveries, and higher prices could limit our ability to provide services or increase the costs of providing services thus reducing revenues and profits.
If we are unable to expand into new markets our ability to grow our business and profitability as planned could be materially adversely effected. We intend to pursue an aggressive growth strategy for the foreseeable future. Projected future operating results will depend largely upon our ability to expand to new markets and increase sales. To support this growth, we will increase our marketing expenditures, add new employees and open additional offices. There can also be no assurance that we will be able to expand our market share in our existing markets or successfully enter new or contiguous markets. Nor can there be any assurance that such expansion will not adversely affect our profitability and results of operations. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
10
If we are unable to manage growth effectively our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. Our ability to successfully expand to new markets is dependent on a number of factors including:
·
|
our ability to hire, train and assimilate new employees;
|
·
|
the adequacy of our financial resources; and
|
·
|
our ability to correctly identify and exploit new geographical markets and to successfully compete in those markets
|
There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve our planned expansion, that our products will gain access to new markets or be accepted in new marketplaces, or that we will achieve planned operating results or results comparable to those we experience in existing markets in the new markets we enter.
Changes in the level of capital spending by our customers could negatively impact our business and financial condition. Our principal customers are oil and natural gas exploration and production companies. Our results of operations are dependent on the level of capital spending by our customers. The energy industry’s level of capital spending is substantially related to the prevailing commodity price of natural gas and crude oil. Low commodity prices have the potential to reduce the amount of crude oil and natural gas that our customers can produce economically. While our products actually enhance the efficiency of their wells, we believe a prolonged downturn in market price will lead to reductions in the capital spending budgets of our clients and reductions in the demand for our products and services.
Risks Relating to our Stock
Liquidity of Common Stock. Our common stock has limited trading volume on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and is not listed on a national exchange. Moreover, a significant percentage of the outstanding common stock is “restricted” and therefore subject to the resale restrictions set forth in Rule 144 of the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. These factors could adversely affect the liquidity, trading volume, price and transferability of our common stock.
Our management has a substantial ownership interest in our common stock and the availability of our common stock to the investing public may be limited. Our management owns approximately 80% of our outstanding common stock. The availability of our common stock to the investing public may be limited to those shares not held by our executive officers, directors and their affiliates, which could negatively impact our trading prices and affect the ability of our minority stockholders to sell their shares. Future sales by executive officers, directors and their affiliates of all or a portion of their shares could also negatively affect the trading price of our common stock.
You may face significant restrictions on the resale of our common stock due to federal regulations of penny stocks. If at any time we have net tangible assets of $5.0 million or less and our common stock has a market price per share of less than $5.00, transactions in our common stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules promulgated under the Exchange Act. Under these rules, broker-dealers who recommend such securities to persons other than institutional accredited investors must:
11
•
|
make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser;
|
|
•
|
receive the purchaser’s written agreement to a transaction prior to sale;
|
|
•
|
provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents that identify certain risks associated with investing in “penny stocks” and that describe the market for the “penny stocks,” as well as a purchaser’s legal remedies: and
|
|
•
|
obtain a signed and dated acknowledgement from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before a transaction in a “penny stock” can be completed.
|
If our common stock is subject to these rules, broker-dealers may find it difficult to effect customer transactions and trading activity in our securities may be adversely affected. As a result, the market price of our securities may be depressed, and you may find it more difficult to sell our securities.
Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments
As a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this Item.
Item 2. Properties
Our principal operational offices are located at Bay 12, 55 Alberta Avenue, Spruce Grove, Alberta, Canada where we own approximately 16,000 square feet of office and warehouse space. We anticipate this facility will be suitable and adequate for our needs for the next twelve months. If the need arose, however, we believe we could secure additional space on acceptable terms.
We also own approximately 9,500 square feet of executive office and warehouse space located at 321 South 1250 West, #3 in Lindon, Utah. We anticipate this facility will be suitable and adequate for our needs for the next twelve to twenty four months. If the need arose, however, we believe we could secure additional space on acceptable terms.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are not currently aware of any legal proceedings or claims against the Company.

Holders
As of June 15, 2011, we had approximately 117 shareholders of record holding our 45,000,000 shares of outstanding common stock. The number of record shareholders was determined from the records of our stock transfer agent and does not include beneficial owners of common stock whose shares are held in the names of various security brokers, dealers and registered clearing houses.
Dividends
We have not declared a cash dividend on any class of common equity in the last two fiscal years. There are no restrictions on our ability to pay cash dividends, other than any state law that may be applicable. Our board of directors does not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future; it intends to retain the earnings that could be distributed, if any, for operations.

As a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this Item.
Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
On February 15, 2011 our board of directors granted options to purchase an aggregate of 600,000 shares of our restricted common stock to three Company employees, none of whom are executive officers or directors of the Company. The options were granted pursuant to the Profire Energy, Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan.”)
The options have an exercise price of $0.30 per share, which was equal to 85% of the market price of our common shares on the date of grant, as allowed under the terms of the 2010 Plan. The options vest in equal amounts over five years, with the initial portion vesting on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant. Vesting is contingent upon continued employment with the Company. The options expire six years from the date of grant.
As noted above, grants were made to three persons, each of whom was a non-U.S. person and was outside the U.S. at the time the grants were made. The grants were made without registration pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act Rules and/or Section 4(2) under the Securities Act of 1933.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
During the quarter ended March 31, 2011 neither we, nor any affiliated purchasers, purchased any of our equity securities.

Some of the statements set forth in this section are forward-looking statements relating to our future results of operations. Our actual results may vary from the results anticipated by these statements. Please see “Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” on page 4.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Total Revenues
Our total revenues during the year ended March 31, 2011 increased nearly 36% to $8,033,926 from $5,912,350 during the year ended March 31, 2010. Increasing oil prices during the first half of our fiscal 2011 and the stabilizing worldwide economy increased revenues significantly during that period. The strong rebound in oil prices resulted in improved sales and increased production activity in oil and gas and continued through our entire fiscal year. We have worked to expand our operations by adding facilities in the United States. We expect to realize significant U.S. based revenues during the coming year. During fiscal 2011, total sales increased 36% and the service revenue increased 31%. During the year ended March 31, 2011, product sales accounted for 89% of total revenues and service sales accounted for 11% of total revenue. During the year ended March 31, 2010 the mix of product and service sales was the same, with product sales at 89% of total revenues and service sales accounting for the remaining 11% of total revenue. We expect total revenues will grow as we continue to expand our operations and due to higher oil prices. However with the general worldwide economic volatility, we expect revenue growth to be limited by macro-economic effects.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold during the year ended March 31, 2011 was $2,812,323 for sales and $529,821 for service for a total of $3,342,144 compared to $1,867,823 for sales and $427,641 for service for a total of $2,295,464 during the year ended March 31, 2010. While revenue increased 36%, cost of goods sold increased by 46%. Our gross margin for 2011 was 58% compared to 61% in 2010. Margins decreased and cost of goods sold increased due to higher material costs. We anticipate that as product sales increase in the coming year cost of goods sold will also increase. However, with anticipated volume discounts and improved efficiency we believe cost of goods sold, as a percentage of total revenues, will not be significantly higher in fiscal 2012.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the year ended March 31, 2011 were $1,307,580, a 30% increase compared to the year ended March 31, 2010. General and administrative expenses were 16% of sales in 2011 compared to 17% of sales in 2010. The decrease can be attributed to the general increase in operational activity. As sales and revenue increased during the year costs associated with increased sales and production increased at a slower rate.
Payroll Expense
Payroll expense during the year ended March 31, 2011 increased 17% to $969,966 compared to $827,418 during the year ended March 31, 2010. Payroll expense increased as a result of hiring additional personnel, including a sales director and engineering personnel, in anticipation of expansion and growth in sales and the further development of the aforementioned 2100. We anticipate payroll expense will increase at a slower pace in the upcoming fiscal year as we continue efforts to expand our sales force and associated personnel in the US market.
15
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation expense during fiscal 2011 was $ 73,017, or 21% higher than fiscal 2010. Depreciation expense increased in 2011 primarily due to addition of the Lindon, Utah location and some production equipment as we expanded our capacity.
Net Income Before Income Tax
Net income before income taxes during the 2011 fiscal year increased to $2,312,674 from $1,723,466 during fiscal 2010. This 34% increase was the result of the 30% increase in gross profit.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense increased from $444,191 to $686,211. We expect the rate to be close to the statutory rate in subsequent years. We anticipate that as revenues grow, our income tax expense will also be higher. We have exhausted our tax credits associated with the Canadian small business deductions from prior years, thus we expect taxes as a percentage of revenue to be higher than in prior periods in which we made a profit.
Foreign Currency Translation Gain (Loss)
Our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. Our functional currency is Canadian dollars. Our financial statements were translated to U.S. dollars using year-end exchange rates for the balance sheet and weighted average exchange rates for the statements of operations. Equity transactions were translated using historical rates. Foreign currency translation gains or losses as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates are reflected in the statement of operations and comprehensive income.
Therefore, the translation adjustment in our consolidated financial statements represents the translation differences from translation of our financial statements. As a result, the translation adjustment is commonly, but not always, positive if the average exchange rates are lower than exchange rates on the date of the financial statements and negative if the average exchange rates are higher than exchange rates on the date of the financial statements.
During the year ended March 31, 2011, we recognized a foreign currency translation gain of $365,863 compared to foreign currency translation gain of $488,803 during the year ended March 31, 2010. This gain was the result of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar versus the US dollar.
Total Comprehensive Income
For the foregoing reasons, we realized a total comprehensive income of $1,988,246, or $0.04 per share during the year ended March 31, 2011 compared to total comprehensive income of $1,776,518, or $0.03 per share during the year ended March 31, 2010. This results in a total comprehensive income gain of 12%.
16
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, our operations have been financed primarily from cash flows from operations and loans from Company executives. We have a $400,000 revolving credit line with a local banking institution that we also use from time to time to satisfy short-term fluctuations in cash flows. At March 31, 2011 we had $-0- outstanding on our line of credit.
As of March 31, 2011 we had current assets of $5,288,404 and total assets of $5,998,864 including cash and cash equivalents of $1,689,386. At March 31, 2011 total liabilities were $486,083, all of which were current liabilities.
During the year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 cash was primarily used to fund operations. See below for additional discussion and analysis of cash flow.

Net cash used in our operating activities was $213,916. As discussed above, during the year ended March 31, 2011 we realized a significant increase in net income which was partially offset by decreases in income taxes payable. As noted above, from time to time we may also draw down on our revolving credit line to meet short-term cash needs but have not in recent years. Accounts receivable continue to increase year to year and these could be factored if needed to provide cash flow, but to date this has not been necessary. We have no current capital commitments outside of general operations and do not anticipate any in the near future.
Our accounts receivables are higher due to our increased sales in the second half of 2011. Inventory may fluctuate as we have opportunities to acquire inventory at favorable rates as we buy in scale. This may ebb and flow from quarter to quarter.
17
As of March 31, 2011 we had cash of $1,689,386 compared to $1,931,757 as of March 31, 2010.

Inflation
We believe that inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations since inception.
Seasonality
Activity of our customers will sometimes be affected by weather and season. As the majority of our operations currently are in western Canada, sales may slow due to winter conditions that may hamper the ability of our customers to build out new locations or maintain and access current locations. We typically have our strongest revenue growth cycles in the non-winter months. As the company expands geographically we should experience a diversification of revenue sources so seasonality should be less of an issue in the future.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2011 and 2010 we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recently Issued Financial Accounting Standards
For details of applicable new accounting standards, please, refer to Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements in Note 1 of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
As a Smaller Reporting Company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information requested by this Item.
Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data
The consolidated financial statements and supplementary data required by this item are included at page F-1 herein.
18
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 there were no changes in or disagreements with our independent registered public accounting firm on accounting and financial disclosure.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this annual report, management performed, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based on the evaluation and the identification of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and includes those policies and procedures that:
•
|
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
|
•
|
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and
|
•
|
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
|
19
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As of March 31, 2011 we conducted an assessment, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based upon this assessment, we determined that there are material weaknesses affecting our internal control over financial reporting and have concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
The matters involving internal controls and procedures that our management considers to be material weaknesses under COSO and SEC rules are: (1) lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of independent directors on our board of directors, resulting in potentially ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; (2) inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; (3) insufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements; and (4) ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. The aforementioned potential material weaknesses were identified by our Chief Financial Officer in connection with the preparation of our financial statements as of March 31, 2011 who communicated the matters to our management and board of directors.
Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth in items (2), (3) and (4) above did not have an affect on our financial results. However, the lack of a functioning audit committee and lack of a majority of independent directors on our board of directors, resulting in potentially ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures, can impact our financial statements.
Attestation Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
This annual report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for non-accelerated filers set forth in Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
20
Management’s Remediation Initiatives
Although we are unable to meet the standards under COSO because of the limited funds available to a company of our size, we are committed to improving our financial organization. As funds become available, we will undertake to: (1) create a position to segregate duties consistent with control objectives, (2) increase our personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function (3) appoint one or more outside directors to our board of directors who shall be appointed to a Company audit committee resulting in a fully functioning audit committee who will undertake the oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures; and (4) prepare and implement sufficient written policies and checklists which will set forth procedures for accounting and financial reporting with respect to the requirements and application of US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and are committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow. However, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks.

The above individuals serve as executive officers and/or directors. A brief description of their positions, proposed duties and their background and business experience follows:
21
Brenton W. Hatch. Mr. Hatch co-founded Profire Combustion, Inc. in 2002. Since that time he has served as the Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of the Company. Mr. Hatch has been responsible for the day-to-day operations of Profire Combustion since its inception. Prior to founding Profire Combustion, between 2001 and 2002 Mr. Hatch was a Management Consultant and General Manager of Titan Technologies, Inc., an oilfield service and distribution company in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. In this position, Mr. Hatch performed an in-depth analysis of the operations and management of all divisions of Titan Technologies. Based on his analysis, Mr. Hatch implemented company-wide operational changes to improve company performance. From 1989 to 2000 Mr. Hatch served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Keaton International, Inc., an educational services company based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Mr. Hatch managed all executive functions of the company and particularly focused on the development and management of the company’s educational services. During his time at Keaton International, Mr. Hatch led corporate networking and marketing campaigns world-wide. Mr. Hatch earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Education from the University of Alberta in 1974. Mr. Hatch is not, nor has he in the past five years been a nominee or director of any other SEC registrant or registered investment company. We considered Mr. Hatch’s experience as a founder and as the principal executive officer of Profire Combustion, as well as his previous management and operational oversight experience in concluding that he should serve as a director of the Company.
Harold Albert. Mr. Albert co-founded Profire Combustion, Inc. in 2002. He has served as the President and Chief Operating Officer of Profire Combustion since that time. Mr. Albert is responsible for research and development of new products and services. He oversees our Canadian operations. Prior to founding Profire Combustion, Mr. Albert worked in the oil services industry for Titan Technologies, Inc. from 1996 to 2002. During that time Mr. Albert served as an Associate Manager overseeing the company’s burner division. From 1993 to 1996 Mr. Albert was employed with Natco Canada doing start up and commissioning of oil and gas facilities in both Canada and Russia. Mr. Albert is not, nor has he in the past five years been, a nominee or director of any other SEC registrant or registered investment company. We considered Mr. Albert’s experience as a founder and principal operating officer, combined with his previous management and operational experience in concluding that he should serve on the Company’s board of directors.
Andrew Limpert. Mr. Limpert graduated from the University of Utah with a Bachelors of Science degree in Finance in 1994. He earned a Masters of Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance from Westminster College in 1998. Mr. Limpert joined The Flooring Zone, Inc. in November 2007. From 1998 to 2008, Mr. Limpert was an investment advisor with Belsen Getty, LLC, providing wealth management direction and strategic and financial advice for several investment banks. For the past 15 years he has founded, consulted on and funded numerous businesses in the private and public arenas. In 2007 he became the chairman of the board of directors of Nine Mile Software Inc., a rebalancing and mutual fund trading software developer. Nine Mile Software became an SEC registrant during 2008. He resigned as Chairman of Nine Mile in April of 2011. During the past five years Mr. Limpert has also served as a director of Ohr Pharmaceutical Inc., a New York based biotech incubator. Ohr Pharmaceutical is also an SEC registrant. Mr. Limpert resigned as an officer and director of Ohr Pharmaceutical in April 2010. Mr. Limpert is not, nor has he in the past five years been, a nominee or director of any registered investment company. We considered Mr. Limpert’s extensive investment experience and his related finance and educational background in concluding that he should serve on the Company’s board of directors.
22
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
During the past ten years none of our executive officers, directors or persons nominated to become a director has been involved in any of the following events that could be material to an evaluation of his ability or integrity, including:
(1) Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time.
(2) Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

(7) Being the subject of, or a party to any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of:

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Directors, executive officers and holders of more than 10% of our outstanding common stock are required to comply with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which requires generally that such persons file reports regarding ownership of and transactions in securities of the Company on Forms 3, 4, and 5. Based solely on management’s review of these reports during the year ended March 31, 2011, it appears that all reports were timely filed during the fiscal year.
Code of Ethics
Our board of directors has adopted a code of ethics that applies to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller and to persons performing similar functions. The code of ethics is designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:
•
|
honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
|
•
|
full, fair, timely, accurate and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to the Commission and in our other public communications;
|
•
|
compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
|
•
|
prompt internal reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the code; and
|
•
|
accountability for adherence to the code.
|
24
A copy of our code of ethics was filed with the Commission as Exhibit 14.1 to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and may be viewed by accessing that report on the Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. We will provide a copy of our code of ethics, without charge, to any person upon receipt of written request for such delivered to our corporate headquarters. All such requests should be sent care of Profire Energy, Inc., Attn. Corporate Secretary, 321 South 1250 West, #3, Lindon, Utah 84042.
Procedures for Security Holders to Nominate Candidates to the Board of Directors
There have been no material changes to the procedures set forth in our proxy statement filed with the SEC on November 10, 2009, by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.
Committees of the Board of Directors
The board does not have any standing committees and has not adopted written charters for any committees of the board.
Audit Committee
Given our size, our available resources and the fact that our common stock is not listed on any exchange or automated quotation system that requires us to have an audit committee, our board of directors has determined that it is in our best interest to have the full board fulfill the functions that would be performed by the audit committee, including selection, review and oversight of our independent accountants, the approval of all audit, review and attest services provided by the independent accountants, the integrity of our reporting practices and the evaluation of our internal controls and accounting procedures. The board is also responsible for the pre-approval of all non-audit services provided by its independent auditors. Non-audit services are only provided by our independent accountants to the extent permitted by law. Pre-approval is required unless a “de minimus” exception is met. To qualify for the “de minimus” exception, the aggregate amount of all such non-audit services provided to us must constitute not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by us to our independent auditors during the fiscal year in which the non-audit services are provided; such services were not recognized by us at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and the non-audit services are promptly brought to the attention of the board and approved prior to the completion of the audit by the board or by one or more members of the board to whom authority to grant such approval has been delegated.
As we do not currently have a standing audit committee, we do not, at this time, have an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Our board may establish committees from time to time to facilitate our management.

Item 11. Executive Compensation
The following table summarizes the total compensation paid to the person serving as our principal executive officer and our two most highly compensated executive officers other than our principal executive officer. These individuals are referred to herein as “named executive officers” or “NEOs.” Other than as disclosed herein, none of our employees were paid in excess of $100,000 during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

We do not have a standing compensation committee, rather our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) evaluates officer and employee compensation issues subject to the approval of our board of directors. Our CEO makes recommendations to the board of directors as to employee benefit programs and officer and employee compensation. In the past, our CEO has made recommendations to the board of directors regarding his own compensation and we have no policy prohibiting the CEO from doing so. Our board of directors may seek input from the CEO as to his compensation, but CEO compensation must be approved by a majority of our board of directors.

Salary
Salary is used to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge and responsibilities required of all our employees, including our named executive officers. The salary for each named executive officer is typically set at the time the individual is hired based on the factors discussed in the preceding sentence and the negotiation process between the Company and the named executive officer. Thereafter, changes to annual salary, if any, are determined based on several factors, including evaluation of performance, anticipated financial performance, economic condition and local market and labor conditions. The employment agreements of Mr. Hatch, Mr. Albert and Mr. Limpert provide for a full-time monthly salary of $17,000 per month. During fiscal 2011, Mr. Limpert was not employed by the Company on a full-time basis. His salary was adjusted to reflect the amount of time dedicated to his employment with the Company. The board did not approve salary increases for the upcoming fiscal year for any of the named executive officers.
Bonuses
We may also make cash awards to our named executive officers and employees that are not part of any pre-established, performance-based criteria. Awards of this type are completely discretionary and subjectively determined by our board of directors at the time they are awarded. In the event this type of cash award is made, it is reflected in the “Summary Compensation Table” under a separate column entitled “Bonus.” During the 2011 fiscal year, the board of directors, of its own discretion, awarded Christmas bonuses of $33,500 to each of Mr. Hatch and Mr. Albert and $12,000 to Mr. Limpert. The bonuses were not awarded pursuant to any pre-established, performance-based criteria set by the compensation committee. Rather, the bonuses were awarded in recognition of the efforts of the named executive officers to control costs and expenses and improve Company profitability. The Company was under no obligation to award the cash bonuses and is under no obligation to award future cash bonuses.
Employer Benefit Plans
At the current time, we do not provide any retirement, pension, or other benefit plans to our named executive officers; however, the board of directors may adopt plans as it deems reasonable under the circumstances.
Employment Agreements
We have entered into employment agreements with each of the named executive officers. The employment agreements provide for employment for a period of three calendar years from the date of the agreements, unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The agreements shall be self-renewing for additional one year periods for ten years unless terminated in accordance with the terms of the agreements.
The employment agreements of Mr. Hatch and Mr. Albert provide that they will devote, on a full-time basis, their best ability and talents to the business of the Company. The agreements prohibit the individuals from providing consulting services or accepting employment with any other party unless pre-approved by the Company. Mr. Limpert’s employment agreement provided that he would initially be employed on a part-time, as needed basis.
27
In addition to a monthly salary, the employment agreements provide for reimbursement of all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket personal expenses up to $3,000 per month for Mr. Hatch and Mr. Albert and up to $2,000 per month for Mr. Limpert. Expense items exceeding these limits must receive Company approval. The agreements provide for an $800 per month auto allowance for Mr. Hatch and Mr. Albert. Mr. Limpert’s agreement provides that he is entitled to receive an $800 per month auto allowance so long as he maintains at least half-time employment with the Company.
The employment agreements provide that each of the named executive officers will be entitled to equal treatment with other principal officers of the Company with regard to medical and dental plans and benefits, retirement or similar plans, life insurance, sick leave, vacation or disability. The Company will provide $1,000 per month for health/dental premiums and $1,000 per month matching retirement benefits when the Company establishes such a plan.
The employment agreements also contain confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-compete, non-solicitation and intellectual property assignment provisions.
Termination and Change in Control
The employment agreements of the named executive officers provide for the following payments in the event of termination of employment.
•
|
The individual may be terminated without cause by the Company upon 90 days prior written notice. If terminated without cause, the individual shall be entitled to six months salary and health and other benefits.
|
•
|
For cause upon prior written notice. If terminated for cause the individual shall be entitled to his salary and any employee rights or compensation which would vest in the month of termination pro-rated through the date of termination.
|
•
|
By resignation. If the individual resigns, he shall be entitled to receive his current monthly salary and other compensation. In the event of a resignation, employment shall terminate on the earlier of, 30 days following its tender and the date the resignation is accepted by the Company.
|
•
|
For disability or death. The Company shall have the option to terminate the agreement should the individual no longer be able to perform his essential functions. In the event of termination for death or disability the individual shall be entitled to the same compensation and benefits as if the agreement had been terminated without cause.
|
We do not have agreements, plans or arrangements, written or unwritten, with any of our named executive officers that would provide for payments or other benefits to any of our named executive officers in the event of a change in control of the Company or a change in the responsibilities of any named executive officer following a change in control of the Company.
28
OUTSTANDING EQUITY AWARDS AT FISCAL YEAR END
None of the named executive officers held outstanding equity awards at our fiscal year end.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Each of our directors is also a named executive officer and employee of the Company. All compensation earned by Mr. Hatch, Mr. Albert and Mr. Limpert was compensation for services rendered in their capacity as employees of the Company. They received no compensation for serving on our board of directors during the 2011 or 2010 fiscal years. For details regarding the compensation received by each of our directors please see the Summary Compensation Table on page 26 of this annual report.

The Flooring Zone, Inc., 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was adopted on May 13, 2003. The Plan allows us to grant options to our key employees, officers, directors, consultants, advisors and sales representatives to purchase up to 500,000 shares of its $.001 par value restricted common stock at an exercise price to be determined by the Stock Option Committee of the board at the time of grant.
On May 13, 2003 we adopted The Flooring Zone, Inc., 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”). The 2003 Plan allows the Company to grant options to its key employees, officers, directors, consultants, advisors and sales representatives to purchase up to 500,000 shares of its $.001 par value restricted common stock at an exercise price to be determined by the board of directors at the time of grant. In 2003 the Company granted 45,000 options, none of which were granted to any of the named executive officers. These options vested immediately and were exercised in 2003.
In September 2009 our board of directors approved grants of options to purchase up to 410,000 shares under the 2003 Plan to six individuals, none of whom are executive officers or directors of our Company. The options are exercisable at a price of $0.40, the closing price of our common stock on the OTCBB on the grant date. The options expire five years from the grant date. The options vest equally over three years with vesting occurring on the grant anniversary date.
30
As of the date of this report there are currently 45,000 shares available for award under the 2003 Plan.
In November 2009 our shareholders approved the adoption of the Profire Energy, Inc., 2010 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”). Under the 2010 Plan our key employees, officers, directors and other individuals or entities may be awarded stock options or granted shares of our common stock. The term of the 2010 Plan is 10 years. The 2010 Plan permits the granting of up to a maximum of 4,000,000 shares of common stock. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that may be issued to any individual or entity under the 2010 Plan shall not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate number of shares referred to in the preceding sentence. The total number of shares issuable upon exercise of all outstanding options shall not exceed a number of shares which is equal to thirty percent (30%) of the then outstanding shares of the Company.
In February 2011 our board of directors granted options to purchase an aggregate of 600,000 shares of our restricted common stock to three Company employees, none of whom are executive officers or directors of the Company. The options have an exercise price of $0.30 per share, which was equal to 85% of the market price of our common shares on the date of grant, as allowed under the terms of the 2010 Plan. The options vest in equal amounts over five years, with the initial portion vesting on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant. Vesting is contingent upon continued employment with the Company. The options expire six years from the date of grant.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence
Related Party Transactions
In June 2007, Brent Hatch and Harold Albert loaned Profire $50,000 Canadian dollars, and in August 2007 Brent Hatch and Harold Albert loaned Profire $150,000 Canadian dollars, which in total was the equivalent of $194,571 in U.S. dollars based on conversion rates at March 31, 2008, by way of an unsecured promissory notes. The promissory notes are non-interest bearing and were due March 31, 2009. These notes were fully repaid by March 31, 2009.
Director Independence
The board has determined that none of the current directors would qualify as an independent director as that term is defined in the listing standards of the NYSE Amex. Such independence definition includes a series of objective tests, including that the director is not an employee of the company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with the company. As each of the directors is also employed by the Company, the board of directors has determined that none of our directors is currently independent.

Audit Fees. Audit fees were for professional services rendered in connection with the audit of the annual financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K, review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and for services that are normally provided by independent registered public accounting firms in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.
Board of Directors Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. At its regularly scheduled and special meetings, our board of directors, in lieu of an established audit committee, considers and pre-approves any audit and non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. Our board of directors has the authority to grant pre-approvals of non-audit services.
Our board of directors has not, as of the time of filing this annual report on Form 10-K with the Commission, adopted policies and procedures for pre-approving audit or permissible non-audit services performed by our independent auditors. Instead, the board of directors as a whole has pre-approved all such services. In the future, our board of directors may approve the services of our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures adopted by the board of directors, provided the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the board of directors is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the board of director’s responsibilities to our management.
The board of directors has determined that the services provided by its independent registered public accounting firm described above are compatible with maintaining independence as our independent registered public accounting firm.

PROFIRE ENERGY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended March 31, 2011and 2010
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Profire Energy, Inc. and Subsidiary (“the Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP). On September 30, 2008, The Flooring Zone, Inc. (“the Parent”) entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Profire Combustion, Inc. and the Shareholders of Profire Combustion, Inc. (“the Subsidiary”), subject to customary closing conditions. All conditions for closing were satisfied or waived and the transaction closed on October 9, 2008.
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement, 35,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company were issued to the three shareholders of Profire Combustion, Inc., in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Subsidiary. As a result of the transaction, Profire Combustion, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent and the shareholders of the Subsidiary became the controlling shareholders of the Company. For accounting purposes, the Subsidiary is considered the accounting acquirer, and the historical Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations and Other Comprehensive Income, and Statement of Cash Flow of the Subsidiary are presented as those of the Company. The historical equity information is that of Profire Combustion, Inc., the accounting acquiree. The recapitalization required pursuant to this merger resulted in a negative additional paid-in capital balance.
In connection with the acquisition of Subsidiary, the Parent changed its fiscal year end to March 31 to coincide with the Subsidiary’s fiscal year end.
Organization and Line of Business
The Parent was incorporated on May 5, 2003 in the State of Nevada. The Subsidiary was incorporated on March 6, 2002 in the province of Alberta, Canada.
The Company provides products and services for burners and heaters for the oil and gas extraction industry in the Canadian and US markets.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reportable amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Basic Earnings Per Share
The computation of basic earnings per share of common stock is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the periods presented. The computation of fully diluted earnings per share includes common stock equivalents outstanding at the balance sheet date. The Company had 107,333 and 116,800 stock options included in the fully diluted earnings per share as of March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively. Basic earnings per share for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended March 31, 2011and 2010
NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Foreign Currency and Comprehensive Income
The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian Dollar (CAD). The financial statements of the Company were translated to U.S. Dollars (USD) using year-end exchange rates for the balance sheet, and average exchange rates for the statements of operations. Equity transactions were translated using historical rates. The period-end exchange rates of 1.0301 and 1.0188 were used to convert the Company’s March 31, 2011 and 2010 balance sheets, respectively, and the statements of operations used weighted average rates of 0.9836 and 1.0884 for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. All amounts in the financial statements and footnotes are presumed to be stated in USD, unless otherwise identified. Foreign currency translation gains or losses as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates are reflected in the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Accounting Method and Fiscal Year
The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on March 31.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates of financial instruments are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant information about financial markets and specific financial instruments. As these estimates are subjective in nature, involving uncertainties and matters of significant judgment, they cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions can significantly affect estimated fair value.
The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Management is of the opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash and all debt securities with an original maturity of 90 days or less. As of March 31, 2011 and 2010, book balances totaled $1,689,386 and $1,931,757, respectively. These deposits were insured entirely by insurance accounts held by the Company’s banks guaranteed by the Province of Alberta, Canada.
Accounts Receivable
Receivables from the sale of goods and services are stated at net realizable value. This value includes an appropriate allowance for estimated uncollectible accounts. The allowance is calculated based on past collectability and customer relationships. The Company recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $19,524 and $7,363 as of March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Inventory
In accordance with ARB No. 43 “Inventory Pricing,” the Company’s inventory is valued at the lower of cost (the purchase price, including additional fees) or market based on using the entire value of inventory. Inventories are determined based on the first-in first-out (FIFO) basis. Inventory consists of raw materials, finished goods held for sale and work in progress. As of March 31 inventory consisted of the following:

Stock-Based Compensation
The Company follows the provisions of ASC 718, “Share-Based Payment.” which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. The Company uses the Black-Scholes pricing model for determining the fair value of stock based compensation.
Income Taxes
The Parent is subject to US income taxes on a stand-alone basis. The Parent and its Subsidiary file separate stand-alone tax returns in each jurisdiction in which they operate. The Subsidiary is a corporation operating in Canada and is subject to Canadian income taxes on its stand-alone taxable income. The effective rates of income tax are 29.7% and 25.8% for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Research and Development
All costs associated with research and development are expensed when incurred. Costs incurred for research and development were $107,900 and $73,727 for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively.
Shipping and handling fees and costs
The Company records all amounts billed to customers related to shipping and handling fees as revenue.

The Company incurred shipping and handling costs of $107,358 and $31,329 during the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income includes net income as currently reported by the Company adjusted for other comprehensive items. Other comprehensive items for the Company consist of foreign currency translation gains and losses and unrealized holding gains and losses on available for sale securities.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has evaluated recent accounting pronouncements and their adoption has not had or is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Reclassifications
The 2010 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2011 presentation. Those reclassifications included separate presentations of cost of goods sold for each of the Company’s revenue streams. Further, we reclassified a portion of depreciation expense from operating expenses to cost of sales. These changes had no effect on net income.

The following are temporary items: non-deductible write-down of marketable securities, increase or decrease in rate resulting from depreciation and loss on equipment for book purposes in excess of depreciation for income tax purposes. These temporary differences are insignificant, for 2011and 2010.
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of ASC 740, the Company recognized approximately no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits.
The Company had no tax positions at March 31, 2011 and 2010 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.
The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized no interest and penalties. The Company had no accruals for interest and penalties at March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Deferred tax assets arising from net operating losses generated by the Parent on its stand-alone tax returns of $148,000 have been offset completely by a valuation totaling $51,810 due to the uncertainty of their realization.
