Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash

The Company maintains all of its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. No losses have been experienced on such accounts.

Receivables

Receivables are carried at original invoice less estimates made for doubtful receivables. Management determines the allowances for doubtful accounts by reviewing and identifying troubled accounts on a periodic basis and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. A receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 30 days. Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method.

Depreciation and Amortization

Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred; renewals and betterments which significantly extend the useful lives of existing equipment are capitalized. Significant leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the term of the lease; equipment is depreciated over 3 to 10 years.

Prepaid Expenses

Certain expenses, primarily insurance and income taxes, have been prepaid and will be used within one year.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes net sales revenue upon the shipment of product to customers.

Research and Development and Patents

Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. The costs of obtaining patents, primarily legal fees, are capitalized and once obtained, amortized over the life of the respective patent on the straight-line method. Patents relate to products that have been developed and are being marketed by the Company. Patents pending relate to products under development.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity 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 as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. When dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents using the treasury stock method in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The Company has no outstanding options or other rights to acquire its unissued common shares.

Comprehensive Income

Components of comprehensive income include amounts that are included in the comprehensive income but are excluded from net income. During the quarter and nine months ending January 31, 2014 there were no differences between the Company’s net income and comprehensive income.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due and deferred taxes related primarily to differences in the methods of accounting for patents, inventories, certain accrued expenses and bad debt expenses for financial and income tax purposes. The deferred income taxes represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will be taxable in the future.

The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and with the state of Illinois. Various tax years remain open to examinations although there are currently no ongoing tax examinations. Management’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expenses.

The provision for income taxes consists of the following components as of January 31:

		2014		2013
Current
Federal	$	18,193	$	29,185
State		7,091		11,115
Provision for Income Taxes	$	25,284	$	40,300

The differences between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate are as follows:

	Nine Months ended January 31,
	2014			2013
U.S. federal statutory tax rate		34.0	%		34.0	%
State income tax expense, net of Federal tax benefit		5.0			5.0
Adjustment for prior year estimates		(5.0	)		—
Effect of graduated federal tax rates and other		(0.8	)		(5.3	)
Effective Tax Rate		33.2	%		33.7	%
