Explanatory Note

 

This Form 10-Q/A amends our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed on August 14, 2004 (the “Original Form 10-Q”) to reflect the restatement of our consolidated financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

 

On February 8, 2005, the Company filed a Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing that the Company’s management determined that a spreadsheet error existed affecting the manner in which revenue was calculated and subsequently recognized on small projects. While revenue recognized under the percentage of completion calculation on individual large projects was accurate, due to this spreadsheet error, the accumulation of revenue for small projects was incorrect. This error occurred from 2000 to 2003 and during the three quarters of 2004 and therefore, these periods have been restated to reflect the correction of this error.

 

This restatement affected the following previously reported amounts: costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, deferred income tax liability, and retained earnings in our consolidated balance sheets, and net sales, income tax (benefit) provision, and net loss in our consolidated statements of operations.

 

In addition, the Company detected an error in the classification of amortization of deferred financing costs as depreciation and amortization expense rather than interest expense. This error is also being corrected with this filing.

 

Except as stated above, this Report speaks only as of the date of the Original Form 10-Q. Except as specified above, this filing does not reflect any events occurring after August 14, 2004.

1. Basis of reporting for condensed consolidated financial statements and significant accounting policies.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of CECO Environmental Corp. and subsidiaries (the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and the results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. The results of operations for the three-month period and six-month period ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto in our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Stock Based Compensation — We apply Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in the accounting for stock option plans. Under such method, compensation is measured by the quoted market price of the stock at the measurement date less the amount, if any, that the employee is required to pay. The measurement date is the first date on which the number of shares that an individual employee is entitled to receive and the option or purchase price, if any, are known. We did not incur any compensation expense in 2004 or 2003 related to our stock option plans. We adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and related pronouncements.

 

The following table compares 2004 and 2003 as reported to the pro forma results, considering both options and warrants discussed in Note 11 in our 2003 Annual Report filed on Form 10-K/A had we adopted the expense recognition provision of SFAS No. 123:

2. New Accounting Standards

 

In December 2002, the FASB issued Statement No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure” which we adopted in 2003. The Statement provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock options. At this time, we do not anticipate making any voluntary change.

 

On April 30, 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” This statement amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. This statement is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003, for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003, and to certain pre-existing contracts. We adopted SFAS No. 149 on a prospective basis at its effective date on July 1, 2003. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. This statement was effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and pre-existing instruments as of the beginning of the first interim period that commences after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. Mandatorily redeemable financial instruments are subject to the provisions of this statement beginning on January 1, 2004. We have not entered into or modified any financial instruments subsequent to May 31, 2003 affected by this statement nor do we have any mandatorily redeemable financial instruments. The adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

In November 2002, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 45 (“FIN 45”) “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.” FIN 45 elaborates on the existing disclosure requirements for most guarantees, including loan guarantees. It also clarifies that at the time a company issues a guarantee, the company must recognize an initial liability for the fair value, or market value, of the obligations it assumes under that guarantee. However, the provisions related to recognizing a liability at inception of the guarantee for the fair value of the guarantor’s obligations does not apply to product warranties or to guarantees accounted for as derivatives. The initial recognition and initial measurement provisions apply on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15, 2002 and had no effect on our financial statement disclosures.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised FASB Interpretation No. 46, entitled “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities”. As revised, the new interpretation requires that the Company consolidate all variable interest entities in its financial statements under certain circumstances. We adopted the revised interpretation as of March 31, 2004 as required; however, the adoption of this interpretation does not affect our financial condition or results of operations, as we do not have any interests in variable interest entities.

In November 2002, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”. EITF No. 00-21 provides guidance for revenue arrangements that involve the delivery or performance of multiple products or services where performance may occur at different points or over different periods of time. EITF No. 00-21 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003 (i.e., our fiscal 2004). The adoption of this interpretation on January 1, 2004 did not have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 132 (Revised 2003), “Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits”. The statement increases the existing disclosure requirements by requiring more details about pension plan assets, benefit obligations, cash flows, benefit costs and related information. We are required to segregate plan assets by category, such as debt, equity and real estate, and to provide certain expected rates of return and other informational disclosures. We have adopted the disclosure requirement of SFAS No. 132-R for our December 31, 2003 financial statements, as well as disclosure requirements for various elements of pension and postretirement benefit costs in interim period financial statements for quarters beginning with our first quarter ended March 31, 2004.

5. Business Segment Information

 

Our structure and operational integration results in one segment that focuses on engineering, designing, building and installing systems that remove airborne contaminants from industrial facilities, as well as equipment that controls emissions from such facilities. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements herein reflect the operating results of the segment.

 

6. Earnings Per Share

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, both basic weighted average common shares outstanding and diluted average common shares outstanding were 9,989,836 and 9,852,876, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, both basic weighted average common shares outstanding and diluted average common shares outstanding were 9,987,405 and 9,722,033, respectively. We consider outstanding options and warrants in computing diluted net loss per share only when they are dilutive. Options and warrants to purchase 3,503,700 and 3,451,700 shares for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share due to their having an anti-dilutive effect. There were no adjustments to net loss for the basic or diluted earnings per share computations.

 

7. Debt

 

Total bank and related debt as of June 30, 2004 was $10,998 and $9,957 at December 31, 2003. Unused credit availability under our $8 million revolving line of credit at June 30, 2004 was $2,237. Availability is determined by a borrowing base formula contained in the credit agreement.

 

The revolving line of credit of the bank credit facility is reported as current portion of debt in the balance sheet at June 30, 2004 since the line matures in January 2005. The bank credit facility was amended in November 2003 by extending the maturities of the revolving line of credit and the final payment due under the term loan to January 2005. No extinguishment loss was recognized as a result of this amendment. The amendment also reduced minimum coverage requirements under several financial covenants through December 31, 2004. The bank credit facility was also amended during August 2004 by extending the term loan to July 2005 and by waiving the leverage financial covenant as of June 30, 2004.

 

We are currently evaluating, in light of the current market conditions and company performances, our opinions and seeking alternative financing. Our refinancing strategy for the existing revolving credit agreement and term loan is to obtain new financings that will extend the maturities and increase our cash flow by lengthening the scheduled principal amortization on term debt for our machinery, equipment and real estate, and reducing interest costs. We believe that we will be able to restructure or refinance our existing credit facility before the scheduled maturity in January 2005 based on our recent extension of the term loan to July 2005, among other factors. However, there can be no assurance that we will able to do so.

In November 2003, we accepted an offer to sell our Cincinnati property with a contemplated closing date of May 1, 2004 subject to various contingencies. The agreement was terminated due to the purchaser failing to close in accordance with the terms of the agreement. In August 2004, the agreement was amended providing an option to the potential purchaser to acquire the property until November 2004 in exchange for $100 (which will held in escrow until certain contingencies are satisfied).

 

8. Employee Benefit Plans

 

We sponsor a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan for certain union employees. The plan is funded in accordance with the funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. We also sponsor a post-retirement health care plan for office employees retiring before January 1, 1990. The plan allows retirees who have attained the age of 65 to elect the type of coverage desired.

 

Retirement and health care plan expense is based on valuations performed by plan actuaries as of the beginning of each fiscal year. The components of the expense consisted of the following:

We previously disclosed in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 that we expected to make $854 in contributions to the Pension Plan during the year ending December 31, 2004. As of June 30, 2004, $166 has been contributed to the Pension Plan and we anticipate making an additional $414 during the remainder of Fiscal Year 2004 for a revised total of $580.

 

9. Restatement

 

Subsequent to the issuance of the financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, the Company’s management determined that a spreadsheet error existed affecting the manner in which revenue was calculated and subsequently recognized on small projects. As such, the financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2003 and for the three quarters in the period ended December 31, 2004 have been restated. While revenue recognized under the percentage of completion calculation on individual large projects was accurate, due to this spreadsheet error, the accumulation of revenues for small projects was incorrect. This error occurred from 2000 to 2003 and the three quarters reported during 2004.

 

In addition, the Company detected an error in the classification of amortization of deferred financing costs as depreciation and amortization expense rather than interest expense. This error is also being corrected with this filing.

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter were $15,071,000, a decrease of $2,551,000, compared to the same quarter in 2003. Consolidated net sales for the first six months of 2004 were $29,145,000, a decrease of $3,092,000 compared to the same period in 2003. Lower construction and Busch revenues partially offset by increased sales from our component parts and duct product lines accounted for most of the fluctuation in sales. Lower backlog was the driving factor for the reduction in our construction revenues. The completion of two steel rolling mill projects was the primary reason for lower revenue from Busch during the second quarter. Sales of our component parts and duct product lines, which are sold to contractors and end-users throughout North America, experienced increased sales volume during the second quarter and first six months.

 

Orders booked were $15,894,000 during the second quarter of 2004 and $30,901,000 for the first six months of 2004, as compared to $16,955,000 during the second quarter of 2003 and $31,305,000 in the first half of 2003. First quarter 2003 bookings included one $2.8 million order with no comparably sized orders in 2004.

 

Second quarter 2004 gross profit was $3,199,000. This compares to gross profit of $3,030,000 during the same period in 2003. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the three-month period ended June 30, 2004 was 21.2% compared with 17.2% for the comparable period in 2003.

Gross profit was $5,932,000 for the first six months of 2004, an increase of $419,000 compared to the same period in 2003. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues for the first six months of 2004 was 20.4% compared with 17.1% for the comparable period in 2003. We increased gross margin during the second quarter by 4.0 percentage points and 3.3 percentage points during the first half of 2004 compared with the same periods in 2003 principally due to increased construction margins along with reduced overhead spending.

 

Selling and administrative expenses increased by $239,000 or 9.4% to $2,785,000 during the second quarter of 2004 from $2,546,000 in the same period of 2003. Selling and administrative expenses increased by $272,000 or 5.3% to $5,360,000 during the first six months of 2004 from $5,088,000 in the same period of 2003. Cost reduction initiatives in 2003 were offset by increased healthcare and compensation costs in the second quarter and first half of 2004. In light of the current level of revenue, during May 2004, we initiated additional cost reductions, which is expected to provide annualized savings of $1.3 million, beginning in the third quarter of 2004.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased by $9,000 to $321,000 during the second quarter of 2004 from $312,000 in the same period of 2003. Depreciation and amortization increased by $17,000 to $648,000 in the first six months of 2004 from $631,000 in the same period of 2003.

 

Operating income was $93,000 in the second quarter of 2004 compared to operating income of $172,000 during the same quarter of 2003. Operating loss for the first six months of 2004 was ($76,000) compared to the operating loss of ($206,000) during the same period of 2003. The impact on operating income from lower sales along with increases in selling and administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization, only partially offset by reduced factory overhead spending, were the primary factors for the decrease in operating income.

 

Other income was $18,000 in the second quarter of 2004 compared to $222,000 in the second quarter of 2003. Other income for the first six months of 2004 was $36,000 compared to $222,000 during the same period in 2003. The other income during 2004 is the amortization of the deferred gain recognized from the sale and leaseback of our Conshohocken, Pennsylvania property. The other income during 2003 is the result of the gain recognized from the sale and leaseback of our Conshohocken, Pennsylvania property during the second quarter of 2003 of $222,000. A deferred gain of $218,000 is being recognized over the ensuing three-year leaseback period.

 

Interest expense decreased by $54,000 to $625,000 from $679,000 during the second quarter of 2004. Interest expense decreased by $117,000 to $1,239,000 from $1,356,000 during the first six months of 2004. The decrease was due to lower debt during the quarter that was partially offset by higher interest rates.

 

Federal and state income tax benefit was $232,000 during the second quarter of 2004 and $101,000 during the second quarter of 2003. Federal and state income tax benefit was $576,000 for the first six months of 2004, an increase $101,000 from the comparable period in 2003. The federal and state income tax benefit for the first six months of 2004 was 45%, which reflects the estimated effective tax rate for 2004. Our statutory income tax rate is affected by certain permanent differences including non-deductible interest expense.

Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was $282,000 compared with a net loss of $184,000 for the same period in 2003. Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $703,000 compared with a net loss of $865,000 for the same period in 2003.

 

Backlog

 

Our backlog consists of orders we have received for products and services we expect to ship and deliver within the next 12 months. Our backlog, as of June 30, 2004 was $9.6 million compared to $7.3 million as of December 31, 2003. There can be no assurances that backlog will be replicated or increased or translated into higher revenues in the future. The success of our business depends on a multitude of factors that are out of our control. Our operating results can be affected by the introduction of new products, new manufacturing technologies, rapid change of the demand for our products, decrease in average selling prices over the life of the product as competition increases and our dependence to some degree on efforts of intermediaries to sell a portion of our product.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flow from operations and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Our principal uses of cash are operating costs, debt service, payment of interest on our outstanding senior debt, working capital and other general corporate requirements.

 

At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, cash and cash equivalents totaled $155,000 and $136,000, respectively. Generally, we do not carry significant cash and cash equivalent balances because excess amounts are used to pay down our revolving line of credit.

 

Total bank and related debt as of June 30, 2004 was $10,998,000 and $9,957,000 at December 31, 2003. Unused credit availability under our $8 million revolving line of credit at June 30, 2004 was $2,237,000. Availability is determined by a borrowing base formula contained in the credit agreement.

 

The revolving line of credit of the bank credit facility is reported as current portion of debt in the balance sheet at June 30, 2004 since the line matures in January 2005. The bank credit facility was amended in November 2003 by extending the maturities of the revolving line of credit and the final payment due under the term loan to January 2005. No extinguishment loss was recognized as a result of this amendment. The amendment also reduced minimum coverage requirements under several financial covenants through December 31, 2004. The bank credit facility was also amended during August 2004 by extending the term loan to July 2005 and by waiving the leverage financial covenant as of June 30, 2004.

 

We are currently evaluating, in light of the current market conditions and company performance, our options and seeking alternative financing. Our refinancing strategy for the existing revolving credit agreement and term loan is to obtain new financings that will extend the maturities and increase our cash flow by lengthening the scheduled principal amortization on term debt for our machinery, equipment and real estate, and reducing interest cost. We believe that we will be able to restructure or refinance our existing credit facility before the scheduled maturity in January 2005 based on our

recent extension of the term loan to July 2005, among other factors. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. In addition to pursuing opportunities where we have been historically successful, we are evaluating new markets and exploring opportunities internationally. In addition, we have identified and implemented various cost containment and reduction initiatives through better utilization of our manufacturing capacity, utilizing lower labor costs and making more efficient use of our central services and design/drafting staff. These efforts are expected to provide approximately $1.3 million in annualized savings beginning in the third quarter of 2004. We expect to be able to achieve these initiatives without disrupting services to current customers. We believe that the successful achievement of the refinancing and cost reduction initiatives should provide us with sufficient resources to meet our near term cash requirements.

Cash used in operating activities decreased in 2004 compared to 2003. Cash used in operating activities for the first six months of 2004 was the result of reductions to accounts payable and accrued expenses of $733,000, and increases to prepaid and other current assets of $405,000 and inventories of $194,000. Cash was provided by reductions to costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts of $103,000. Other changes in working capital items provided cash of $371,000. Our net investment in working capital (excluding cash and cash equivalents and current portion of debt) at June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003 was $6,785,000 and $5,667,000, respectively.

 

Net cash used in investing activities related to the acquisition of capital expenditures for property and equipment was $119,000 for the first six months of 2004 compared with $57,000 for the same period in 2003. Cash provided by investing activities of $1,568,000 for the first six months of 2003 relates to cash proceeds from the sale and leaseback of our Conshohocken, Pennsylvania property. A $222,000 gain was recognized during the second quarter of 2003 from the sale of the Conshohocken property as well as a $218,000 deferred gain, which will be recognized over the ensuing three-year leaseback period. Approximately $700,000 was used to reduce the revolving line of credit and the balance was used to reduce term debt. We are managing our capital expenditure spending in light of the current level of sales. Should sales increase in 2004, we would anticipate increased capital spending. Additionally, capital expenditures may be incurred depending on the ultimate disposition of our Cincinnati property.

Financing activities provided cash of $1,051,000 during the first six months of 2004 compared with cash used in financing activities of $355,000 during the same period of 2003. Current year financing activities included net borrowings and issuance of common stock under our employee stock purchase plan, and 2003 financing activities included repayments under the bank credit facility. In November 2003, we accepted an offer to sell our Cincinnati property with a contemplated closing date of May 1, 2004 subject to various contingencies. The agreement was terminated due to the purchaser failing to close in accordance with the terms of the agreement. In August 2004, the agreement was amended providing an option to the potential purchaser to acquire the property until November 2004 in exchange for $100,000 (which will be held in escrow until certain contingencies are satisfied).

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

We desire to take advantage of the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are making this cautionary statement in connection with such safe harbor legislation. This Form 10-Q/A, the Annual Report to Shareholders, Form 10-K/A or Form 8-K of the Company or any other written or oral statements made by or on our behalf may include forward-looking statements, which reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intends,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All forecasts and projections in this Form 10-Q/A are “forward-looking statements,” and are based on management’s current expectations of our near-term results, based on current information available pertaining to us.

 

We wish to caution investors that any forward-looking statements made by or on our behalf are subject to uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements. These uncertainties and other risk factors include, but are not limited to: changing economic and political conditions in the United States and in other countries, war, changes in governmental spending and budgetary policies, governmental laws and regulations surrounding various matters such as environmental remediation, contract pricing, and international trading restrictions, customer product acceptance, continued access to capital markets, and foreign currency risks.

 

We wish to caution investors that other factors might, in the future, prove to be important in affecting our results of operations. New factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Risk Management Activities

 

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to market risk including changes in interest and raw material commodity prices. We may use derivative instruments to manage our interest rate exposures. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Generally, we enter into hedging relationships such that changes in the fair values of cash flows of items and transactions being hedged are expected to be offset by corresponding changes in the values of the derivatives.

 

Interest Rate Management

 

We may use interest rate swap contracts to adjust the proportion of our total debt that is subject to variable interest rates. Our interest rate swap contract matured in 2002 and was not renewed.

 

The remaining amount of loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the floating rates as described in Note 9 to the consolidated statements contained in the Company’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Credit Risk

 

As part of our ongoing control procedures, we monitor concentrations of credit risk associated with financial institutions with which we conduct business. Credit risk is minimal as credit exposure is limited with any single high quality financial institution to avoid concentration. We also monitor the creditworthiness of our customers to which we grant credit terms in the normal course of business. Concentrations of credit associated with these trade receivables are considered minimal due to our geographically diverse customer base. Bad debts have not been significant. We do not normally require collateral or other security to support credit sales.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of June 30, 2004.

 

The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2004 for the reasons described below.

 

On February, 8, 2005, the Company, in consultation with its Audit Committee, concluded that it must correct its previously issued financial statements to properly account for revenue recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting. The Company’s management determined that a spreadsheet error existed affecting the manner in which revenue was calculated and recognized on small projects. While revenue recognized under the percentage of completion calculation on individual large projects was accurate, due to this spreadsheet error, the accumulation of revenue for small projects was incorrect. This error was material and occurred from 2000 to 2003 and the three quarters reported during 2004. This correction resulted in the restatement of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years 2001 through 2003, which is reflected in the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2003, and for the three quarters of 2004, which are reflected in Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the relevant periods.

 

After evaluating the nature of the deficiency and the resulting restatement, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that a material weakness existed in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting at June 30, 2004.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the second quarter of fiscal 2004, there were no significant changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or were reasonably likely to materially affect internal control over financial reporting.

 

Management detected the error noted above as a result of additional monitoring processes and procedures that were implemented during the fourth quarter of 2004 to review revenue recognized under the percentage of completion method of accounting. The additional procedures were implemented by an individual hired by the Company in its efforts to expand the internal control structure in connection with its planning and execution under the internal control standards of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This person was hired in August 2004 to initiate the Company’s documentation and testing of its internal controls. This individual’s responsibilities included performing certain monitoring activities which detected the material misstatement.

 

Management has evaluated this matter relative to its current and prior internal control environment and disclosure controls and procedures. It has concluded that the material weakness that led to this error not being detected timely has been mitigated as of December 31, 2004 as a result of the additional monitoring controls that were in place as of that date, which enabled the Company to detect this error.
