Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

To the extent that this 10-K Annual Report discusses matters which are not historical, including statements regarding future financial results, information or expectation about products or markets, or otherwise makes statements about future events, such statements are forward-looking and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. These include, among others, fluctuations in costs of raw materials and other expenses, costs associated with plant closures, downturns in the markets served by the Company, the costs associated with new product introductions, as well as other factors described under the heading Item 3, “Legal Proceedings”, under this Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, and Footnote 1 to Financial Statements.

Operations

Net sales dipped 13.1% to $40,520,100 in fiscal 2001 compared to $46,647,700 in fiscal 2000. The $6.1 million reduction in sales volumes in fiscal 2001 is attributed to the economic downturn in our country’s manufacturing sector which has affected all of the Company’s product lines. The Company also realized heightened competition in reaction to these economic pressures which further diminished sales volumes within the Company’s tank, bin lid and custom product lines. In line with this, the Company also lost market share due to an unsuccessful refuse container bid, accounting for approximately $1 million in sales reduction during the comparative period. Although these trends are not expected to improve quickly, management foresees current back logs and projected business to improve sales volumes in fiscal 2002. Also, on a positive note, the Company was recently awarded the refuse container business it had lost during fiscal 2001.

Net sales were $46,647,700 in fiscal 2000 which was comparable to net sales of $46,730,900 in fiscal 1999. Although sales volumes were static between fiscal 2000 and 1999 due primarily to lower refuse sales volumes, the Company continues to see growth in its specialty product, marine and material handling product lines. Management believes these product groups have tremendous future growth potential. Management will continue to devise strategies to expand its various niche markets including new and enhanced product designs to meet target market requirements. Although current market conditions show continued signs of softening as a result of ongoing economic conditions, management looks forward to hone its marketing strategies to optimize future results.

Cost of goods sold was $31,158,700 or 76.9% of net sales in fiscal 2001 compared to $34,645,000 or 74.3% and $34,566,500 or 74.0% of net sales in fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. The increase is related both to the 13.1% decline in sales volumes in fiscal 2001 as well as escalating raw material production costs, natural gas, labor and labor related insurance and fringe costs. A significant portion of these escalating costs was related to natural gas costs which amounted to a $625,000 increase over prior year costs. In addition, escalating resin prices continue to hamper the preservation of target gross margins. Over the last several years the roto-molding industry continues to experience extreme volatile plastic resin costs. The cost of plastic resin represents a significant portion of the Company’s manufacturing costs and has continually challenged the Company to effectively mitigate these price increases. During the years presented, the Company has been relatively successful in mitigating these rising costs with ongoing sales price increases, improved manufacturing efficiencies which have reduced scrap output as well as general cost containment efforts. Management will continue to institute similar practices in fiscal 2002. Currently raw material and natural gas costs have declined. However, the Company continues to realize substantial increases in wage related insurance and fringe costs. This coupled with a further diminishing in market conditions and/or future hikes in resin and utility costs could hamper the Company’s goal to maintain consistent future operating results.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $7,507,400 or 18.5% of net sales in fiscal 2001 compared to $8,016,.900 or 17.2% of net sales in fiscal 2000. Again, the comparative percentage increase is attributed to lower sales volumes. However, overall SG&A costs have decreased by $509,500. The reduction is two-fold. First, in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company capitalized $323,500 of patent defense costs, a portion of which is related to prior year costs, relating to a favorable judgment in a patent lawsuit. The second, and more important on a go-forward basis, is a significant reduction in selling costs as a result of lower commission, advertising and tradeshow costs. Management continue to assess its marketing strategies to focus its resources and efforts in a manner which will optimize exposure for its various product groups.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $8,016,900 or 17.2% of net sales in fiscal 2000 compared to $8,447,200 or 18.1% of net sales in fiscal 1999. Again, the reduction is the result of management cost containment efforts which have effectively reduced overall SG&A costs by $430,300 between the two periods. Reductions were primarily realized in advertising and marketing costs and significant reductions in employment wage costs. This is consistent with management’s goal to maintain SG&A levels in line with target sales volumes.

The Company incurred $394,400 in fiscal year 1999 in costs related to the consolidation of three of its plants. The Company began and substantially completed the consolidation of its Arleta, California and Warrminster, Pennsylvania plants in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 and then completed the process during the first quarter of fiscal 1999. Shortly after the completion of these consolidations, it launched the consolidation of the Miami, Florida Rotocast operation. This consolidation was completed during the third quarter of fiscal 1999.

These consolidations have had a definite positive impact on future operating results of the Company. Although the Company had to incur the initial costs associated with the consolidation process, the future benefits obtainable are unsurpassed. Through these consolidations, the Company has improved manufacturing utilization at its remaining sites and reduced manufacturing overhead.

Income from operations was $1,854,000 or 4.6% of net sales in fiscal 2001 compared to $3,985,800 or 8.5% and $3,322,800 or 7.1% of net sales in fiscal 2000 and 1999, respectively. The 53.5% decrease in operating income in fiscal 2001 is primarily due to the reduction in sales volumes caused by the economic downturn coupled with the increased raw material, natural gas and labor related costs as outlines above. The 20% improvement in fiscal 2000 operating income is attributed to the preservation of a favorable gross margin coupled with the reduction in SG&A costs and from plant consolidations completed in fiscal 1999. Although the Company continues to benefit from its plant consolidations and ongoing cost containment efforts, future operating results will be challenged, as we saw in fiscal 2001, by the country’s current economic conditions and escalating cost trends.

Total interest expense decreased $211,900 to $743,100 in fiscal 2001 compared to $955,000 in fiscal 2000. Although operating results have been lackluster, the Company continues to generate sufficient cash flows which has decreased the Company’s total debt structure by approximately $2.2 million in comparison to amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2000. This factor, along with negotiated rate reductions related to the Company’s bank debt and the 2.75% drop in the federal discount rate in fiscal 2001, will continue to have a positive effect on reducing future interest costs.

Interest expense decreased $32,700 to $955,000 in fiscal 2000 compared to $987,700 in fiscal 1999. The Company’s cash flows during fiscal 2000 were very strong allowing the Company to reduce its overall debt structure during the year by approximately $1 million. Even though the bank’s interest rate has increased 1.75% during fiscal 2000, the overall reduction in debt coupled with our existing interest rate Swap Agreement with the bank has kept interest costs in line with prior results.

Income taxes were $666,000, $1,218,500 and $1,147,500 in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 respectively. A major portion of the Company’s tax provision is the deferred tax component which amounted to $562,700, $964,300 and $923,400 in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 respectively. During the last three years these amounts primarily relate to the utilization of the Company’s federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and thus do not diminish current cash flow. In fiscal 2001, the Company fully utilized its remaining Federal NOL carryforward. At June 30, 2001 the Company had approximately $425,400 in federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income. Management anticipates fully utilizing this AMT credit in fiscal 2002. Following the utilization of this AMT credit, the Company will incur increased cashflow requirements for the payment of current federal taxes.

Net income decreased $1,403,200 to $550,500 or $.04 per common share for fiscal 2001 compared to net income of $1,953,700 or $.14 per common share in fiscal 2000. The decrease is related to the 13.1% reduction in sales volumes due to the tightening in the manufacturing sector coupled with the 2.6% increase in cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, related to the escalating raw material, utility and labor related costs incurred during the period. Management sees positive trends in current backlogs, but realizes the manufacturing sector will continue to face ongoing challenges in its efforts to improve sales volumes, optimize operating results and absorb inflationary industry costs. As such, management remains focused to rebuild on its strengths and minimize these adverse conditions as much as possible.

Net income increased 47% to $1,953,700 in fiscal 2000 compared to $1,326,000 in fiscal 1999. Earnings per share also increased 56% to $0.14 per common share in fiscal 2000 compared to $0.09 per common share in fiscal 1999. Management attributes the enhanced earnings to the current cost savings obtained from its SG&A cost containment efforts and the one-time plant consolidation costs realized in fiscal 1999 that did not dilute future earnings. The increase in fiscal 2000 earnings per share also benefited from the 2,169,099 common shares repurchased and retired in fiscal 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital decreased $263,700 to $9,194,100 at June 30, 2001 compared to $9,457,800 at June 30, 2000. The reduction is attributed to fluctuations in accounts receivable, inventories and deferred income taxes consistent with the Company’s current operations offset by the $1,000,000 reduction in the current portion of long-term debt due to the restructuring of the Company’s debt with the bank. Cash flow from operations remained fairly strong but decreased by $1,646,000 to $3,547,200 for fiscal 2001 compared to $5,193,200 for the same period last year. The decrease is primarily related to the $1,403,200 reduction in net income.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) were $4,631,900 in fiscal 2001 compared to $6,831,900 in fiscal 2000. Although EBIDTA is not a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, it is a relevant internal measurement of the Company’s operations and cash flows. As such, in spite of the numerous challenges faced in fiscal 2001 which caused diminished operating results, the Company continues to generate sufficient cash flows from operations enabling the Company to easily meet its working capital needs, service and reduce its debt, pay the common stock dividend declared in June 2001 and continue the common stock buyback program.

The Company expended a total of $1,348,100 for property, plant, and equipment during fiscal 2001 compared to $1,415,100 for the same period last year. The primary emphasis in fiscal 2001 was on new tooling and tooling modifications as well as the additional CNC router for the Gardena facility. The Company currently anticipates total capital expenditures to be approximately $1.2 million in fiscal 2002.

Net borrowings under the line of credit decreased $1,215,100 to $1,100,000 between June 30, 2000 and June 30, 2001. The decrease is attributed to excess cash flows generated from operations and the cash flow savings related to the Company’s restructured Credit Agreement with the bank. At June 30, 2001, the Company had $5,900,000 available for future borrowing under the line of credit.

On September 1, 2000, the bank reduced its LIBOR interest rate option on all of the Company’s outstanding debt from LIBOR plus 2% to LIBOR plus 1.5%. Then, effective October 1, 2000, the Company renegotiated its interest rate options in unison with the revolving line of credit renewal. As such, the maturity date for the line of credit was extended to October 1, 2002 and the Company’s interest rates now reflect reductions from their prior levels to the bank’s prime rate minus .25%, LIBOR plus 1% for borrowings under the line of credit and LIBOR plus 1.25% for all other term debt. In addition, the Company consolidated all of its outstanding term debt, except the real estate loan, with the bank into a new $6,050,000 seven-year term loan. The note will be due in monthly principal installments of approximately $72,000 plus interest at the bank’s prime or LIBOR interest rate options. The restructuring of the Company’s bank debt will result in cash flow savings of approximately $1.1 million (principal and interest) during the period October 2000 to September 2001.

During fiscal 2001, the Company reinstated its common stock buyback program. In fiscal 2001, the Company has acquired and retired 146,823 shares of common stock at a total cost of $130,400. The Company plans to continue to actively acquire its common shares as long as the market value per share continues to be under recognized by the stock market. As of June 30, 2001 the Company has approximately 12,761,400 shares of common stock outstanding.

On June 12, 2001, the Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $.04 per common share payable on July 13, 2001 to stockholders of record on June 27, 2001. This marks the fifth payment of dividends since 1996 on the Company’s stock. This dividend, the first since the $2.8 million GSC common stock repurchase in January 2000 is a testament to the Board of Directors’ commitment to reward shareholder loyalty and continue to build shareholder value. The Board of Directors has committed themselves to review annually a dividend program for the Company’s common stock.

Cash flows from operations in conjunction with the Company’s revolving line of credit and machinery and equipment loan commitment are expected to meet the Company’s needs for working capital, capital expenditures, common stock repurchases and repayment of long term debt for the foreseeable future.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” as amended in June 1999 by SFAS 137, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133,” and in June 2000 by SFAS 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities,” (collectively SFAS 133). SFAS 133 requires that entities recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measure those instruments at fair value. Under SFAS 133 an entity may designate a derivative as a hedge of exposure to either changes in: (a) fair value of a recognized asset or liability or firm commitment, (b) cash flows of a recognized or forecasted transaction, or (c) foreign currencies of a net investment in foreign operations, firm commitments, available-for-sale securities or a forecasted transaction. Depending upon the effectiveness of the hedge and/or the transaction being hedged, any changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument is either recognized in earnings in the current year, deferred to future periods, or recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of all derivative instruments not recognized as hedge accounting are recognized in current year earnings. SFAS 133 is required for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. On July 1, 2000 the Company adopted SFAS 133. In connection with the adoption of SFAS 133, the Company’s interest rate swap was designated as a hedge. On the initial adoption date of SFAS 133, the Company recorded the fair value of its derivative on the balance sheet as an asset valued at $109,400 with an offsetting entry to accumulated other comprehensive income. The related unrealized loss of $270,000 during the year ended June 30, 2001 has been recognized in the comprehensive income component of stockholders’ equity.

On December 3, 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission staff released Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition, to provide guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements. While SAB No. 101 provides a framework by which to recognize revenue in the financial statements, adherence to this SAB did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements. The Company adopted this requirement during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2001.

The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued a new release (EITF 00-10) at the end of July 2000 regarding the classification of freight and handling costs billed to customers. EITF 00-10 requires freight and handling costs billed separately on an invoice to be included as part of Sales on the Statement of Income. In addition, the preferred classification of freight and handling costs expensed on the Statement of Income is to include them in Cost of Sales. The Company adopted this requirement during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2001. There was no impact on net income as a result of the adoption of EITF 00-10.

In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation” (“FIN 44”). FIN 44 provides guidance for issues arising in applying APB Opinion No. 25 “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” FIN 44 applies specifically to new awards, exchanges of awards in a business combination, modification to outstanding awards and changes in grantee status that occur on or after July 1, 2000, except for the provisions related to repricings and the definition of an employee which apply to awards issued after December 15, 1998. The requirements of FIN 44 are consistent with the Company’s existing accounting policies.

In June 2001, the FASB approved two new pronouncements: SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations,” and SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” SFAS No. 141 applies to all business combinations with a closing date after June 30, 2001. This Statement eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting and further clarifies the criteria for recognition of intangible assets separately from goodwill.

SFAS No. 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets and initiates an annual review for impairment. Identifiable intangible assets with a determinable useful life will continue to be amortized. The Company will adopt SFAS No. 142 effective July 1, 2001, which will require the Company to cease amortization of its remaining net goodwill balance and to perform an impairment test of its existing goodwill based on a fair value concept. Although the Company is still reviewing the provisions of these Statements, it is management’s preliminary assessment that goodwill impairment will not result upon adoption. As of June 30, 2001, the Company has net unamortized goodwill of $4,105,900 and annual goodwill amortization expense of $324,900.

Item 7a. Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to certain market risks relating to interest rate volatility on its existing and future issuances of variable rate debt with the bank. Primary exposures include movements in U.S. Treasury rates and LIBOR rates which in turn affect the bank’s prime and LIBOR option rates.

The Company had approximately $8.3 million of variable rate debt as of June 30, 2001. In efforts to reduce interest rate volatility and mitigate exposure on variable rate debt, the Company entered into an interest rate swap effective July 15, 1998. The swap has a notional amount of $5 million as of July 15, 2000, and will remain at this amount until its expiration on July 15, 2003. The swap fixes the bank’s LIBOR option rate at 6.2% over the term of the contract. The fair value of the swap amounted to ($91,400) as of June 30, 2001. If average interest rates increased by 1% during fiscal 2002 as compared to fiscal 2001, and additional borrowings are not incurred, the Company would not expect a significant increase in projected fiscal 2002 interest expense.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of Rotonics Manufacturing Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ROTONICS MANUFACTURING INC. (a Delaware corporation) as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Rotonics Manufacturing Inc. as of June 30, 2001 and 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 14(a)(2) is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

As explained in Note 1 to the Financial Statements, effective July 1, 2000, the Company changed its method of accounting for derivatives.

ROTONICS MANUFACTURING INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Organization and operations

Rotonics Manufacturing Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation manufactures and markets plastic products for commercial, agricultural, refuse, pharmaceutical, marine, recreation, medical waste, healthcare, retail, recreation and residential use, as well as an array of custom molded plastic products to customers in a variety of industries located in diverse geographic markets. The Company’s operations are conducted under one operating segment. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales in fiscal 2001, 2000, or 1999. In fiscal 2001, the Company purchased in aggregate approximately 97% of its plastic resin from five vendors. Plastic resin represents a significant portion of the Company’s manufacturing costs. As such, economic factors that affect the Company’s plastic resin vendors will have a potential impact on the Company’s future operations.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are as follows:

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Rotocast Plastic Products of Tennessee, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized upon shipment to the customer or when title passes to the customer based on the terms of the sales, and are recorded net of sales discounts, returns and allowances.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of accounts receivable and trade payables approximates the fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s line of credit and notes payable is considered to approximate fair market value because the interest rates of these instruments are based predominately on variable reference rates.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method.

Property, plant and equipment

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and the estimated useful lives of the assets range from three to thirty-nine years. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred; costs relating to significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Intangible assets

The excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired is amortized on the straight-line basis over periods ranging from fifteen to forty years. Patents are amortized on the straight-line basis over their useful lives of seventeen years, or at their remaining useful life from date of acquisition. Legal costs associated with defending existing patents are capitalized as additional costs of the patent when successful defense is probable.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences expected future events other than enactments of changes in tax laws or rates are considered.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications of prior years’ amounts relating to sales and cost of sales have been made to conform to current year presentation.

Earnings per share

Basic EPS is computed by dividing reported earnings by weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS include the effect of the potential shares outstanding including dilutive securities using the treasury stock method. Potential dilutive securities for the Company include outstanding stock options.

The table below details the components of the basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations:

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” as amended in June 1999 by SFAS 137, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 133,” and in June, 2000, by SFAS 138, “Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities,” (collectively SFAS 133). SFAS 133 requires that entities recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial condition and measure those instruments at fair value. Under SFAS 133 an entity may designate a derivative as a hedge of exposure to either changes in: (a) fair value of a recognized asset or liability or firm commitment, (b) cash flows of a recognized or forecasted transaction, or (c) foreign currencies of a net investment in foreign operations, firm commitments, available-for-sale securities or a forecasted transaction. Depending upon the effectiveness of the hedge and/or the transaction being hedged, any changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument is either recognized in earnings in the current year, deferred to future periods, or recognized in other comprehensive income. Changes in the fair value of all derivative instruments not recognized as hedge accounting are recognized in current year earnings. SFAS 133 is required for all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. On July 1, 2000 the Company adopted SFAS 133. In connection with the adoption of SFAS 133, the Company’s interest rate swap was designated as a hedge. On the initial adoption date of SFAS 133, the Company recorded the fair value of its derivative on the balance sheet as an asset valued at $109,400 with an offsetting entry to accumulated other comprehensive income. The related unrealized loss of $270,000 during the year ended June 30, 2001 has been recognized in the other comprehensive loss component of stockholders’ equity.

The Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued a new release (EITF 00-10) at the end of July 2000 regarding the classification of freight and handling costs billed to customers. EITF 00-10 required freight and handling costs billed separately on an invoice to be included as part of Sales on the Statements of Income. In addition, the preferred classification of freight and handling costs expensed on the Statements of Income is to include them in Cost of Sales. The Company adopted this requirement during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 and reclassifications have been made for all periods presented. There was no impact on net income as a result of the adoption of EITF 00-10.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS:

Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization dated March 24, 1998 between the Company and GSC Industries, Inc. (“GSC”), the Company acquired all of GSC’s outstanding common stock holdings in Rotocast International, Inc. (“Rotocast”) and Rotocast’s wholly owned subsidiaries. In accordance with the merger and reorganization, Rotocast was merged into the Company and the Company issued to GSC 2,072,539 shares of its own common stock and a $2,000,000 eighteen-month promissory note bearing interest at 5.26% per annum. The note was paid in full in September 1999. In January 2000, the Company repurchased and retired the 2,072,539 common shares issued to GSC for $2.8 million.

As part of the reorganization of Rotonics and Rotocast, the Company relocated its operations in Warminster, Pennyslvania, Arleta, California and Miami, Florida into its other operating facilities. The relocation of these plants resulted in non-recurring costs of approximately $394,400 in Fiscal 1999.

NOTE 3 - NOTES RECEIVABLE:

On March 31, 1995, the Company and a customer entered into an agreement under which the Company acquired from this customer certain assets, including molds and trade accounts receivable, at their total estimated fair value of $357,800, which was applied against the principal of a 1993 Promissory Note owed by this customer to the Company. The remaining unpaid principal, together with accrued interest and open trade receivable from this customer as of March 31, 1995, were exchanged for a new note with a principal balance of $455,000, bearing interest at 8% per annum and maturing on March 31, 2005.

Effective March 31, 1995, the Company sold products manufactured using these molds directly to end users. The Company pays this former customer royalties at the initial rate of 10% (increased to 20% beginning fiscal 2000) of the Company’s net sales of these products. Half of the royalty payments are being applied to reduce principal and interest until the former customer has received a total of $300,000 in royalty payments or March 31, 1998, whichever is earlier. Subsequently, all royalty payments shall be applied to principal and interest until such principal and interest are paid in full, at which time the royalty rate will be reduced to 5% through March 31, 2005. As of June 30, 2001 and 2000, the total balance of this note amounted to $292,100 and $387,900. The Company intends to hold this note until maturity.

In the normal course of business the Company issued in fiscal 2001 two notes receivable for the sale of molds. At June 30, 2001 these notes amounted to $82,000. In fiscal 2000, the Company was owed $47,800 on a note receivable for the sale of a roto-molding machine. This note was paid in full in fiscal 2001.

The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets on an annual basis or whenever adverse events or changes in circumstances or business climate indicate that expected undiscounted future cash flows related to such long-lived assets may not be sufficient to support the net book value of such assets. If undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to support the recorded assets, impairment is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated fair value. Cash flow projections, although subject to a degree of uncertainty, are based on trends of historical performance and management’s estimate of future performance, giving consideration to existing and anticipated competitive and economic conditions. Additionally, in conjunction with the review for impairment, the remaining estimated lives of certain of the Company’s long-lived assets are assessed.

NOTE 8 - BANK LINE OF CREDIT:

The Company has a $7,000,000 revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, which matures on October 1, 2002. The line is secured by the Company’s machinery and equipment, accounts receivable and inventories. Interest is payable monthly at the respective bank’s prime rate minus .25%. The respective bank’s prime rate at June 30, 2001 was 6.75% per annum. In addition, the loan agreement allows the Company to convert the outstanding principal balance in amounts no less than $250,000 to a LIBOR-based loan for up to 90-day periods. At June 30, 2001, total borrowings under the Company’s line of credit were $1,100,000 of which the total balance was borrowed under the LIBOR option bearing a LIBOR interest rate of 4.95% per annum and maturing on July 16, 2001. Proceeds from the loan were used for working capital purposes. At June 30, 2001, the Company had approximately $5,900,000 available for future borrowings under the revolving line of credit. The loan agreement contains various covenants pertaining to tangible net worth, net income and liquidity ratios, capital expenditures, payments of dividends, payment of subordinated debt as well as various other restrictions. The Company was in compliance with these covenants during fiscal 2001.

(A)	On October 1, 2000, the Company restructured its Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank resulting in the consolidation of all its outstanding term debt, except for the real estate loan. In replacement the bank issued a $6,050,000 seven year note due in monthly principal installments of $72,000 plus interest at the bank’s prime rate minus .25% (6.75% per annum at June 30, 2001). In addition, the loan agreement allows the Company to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal to a LIBOR-based loan for periods up to one year. In connection with the restructured Credit Agreement, the Company also negotiated with the bank to reduce its interest borrowing rates on all of its outstanding term debt from the bank’s prime or LIBOR plus 2% rates to the bank’s prime minus .25% or LIBOR plus 1.25%. At June 30, 2001, the total outstanding principal balance was under the LIBOR option at 5.2% per annum maturing July 16, 2001. The note is secured by the Company’s machinery and equipment, accounts receivable and inventories and matures October 15, 2007. This restructuring of the Company’s debt will result in annual cash flow savings of approximately $1.1 million (principal and interest) for the period October 2000 through September 2001.

	At June 30, 2001 the Company had available a term-loan commitment in the amount of $1,200,000 for future machinery and equipment purchases. Advances under the line will be subject to monthly interest only payments at the bank’s prime or LIBOR interest rate options until October 1, 2001 at which time amounts borrowed will convert to a sixty-month fully amortizable loan. The Company plans to advance against the available borrowings under the term loan commitment prior to its expiration.

(B)	In July 1998, a $2,000,000 real estate loan secured by the Company’s Bensenville, Illinois and Gainesville, Texas properties was issued to Wells Fargo Bank. This note replaced the 1994 real estate loan issued in connection with the purchase of the Bensenville, Illinois property. The note is due in monthly principal installments of approximately $6,700 plus interest at the bank’s prime rate minus .25% (6.75% per annum at June 30, 2001), or LIBOR interest rate option on a twenty-five year amortization with the outstanding principal due on July 1, 2008. At June 30, 2001, the total outstanding principal was under the LIBOR option at 5.2% per annum maturing July 16, 2001.

	Effective July 15, 1998, the Company initiated an interest rate swap agreement with the bank. The agreement allows the Company to fix a portion of its outstanding term and line of credit debt ($5 million as of June 30, 2001) from a variable floating LIBOR rate to a fixed LIBOR rate in efforts to protect against future increases in the bank’s LIBOR rate. The agreement matures July 15, 2003.

Aggregate annual maturities of long-term debt are summarized as follows:

NOTE 12 - STOCK OPTION PLAN:

In December 1994, at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company, the stockholders voted by majority decision to ratify and approve a new stock option plan as adopted by the Board of Directors in June 1994. The plan allows, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, for the granting of options to key employees, officers, directors, and consultants of the Company to purchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms and conditions set forth in the plan, the exercise price of the stock options will be a least 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The plan expires June 12, 2004.

In fiscal 1998, there was no activity in the plan. In fiscal 2001, the Company issued stock options to Directors and key employees to purchase 193,000 shares of common stock at fair market value at the date of grant. At June 30, 2001, the Company had 687,500 shares available for future grants.

The Company accounts for stock options under Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 (“APB25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”, which is permitted under SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”, issued in 1995. Had compensation cost for the plan been determined in accordance with rules set out in SFAS 123, the Company’s net income and income per common share data would not be significantly different.

NOTE 13 - COMMON STOCK:

Treasury stock is recorded at cost. At June 30, 2001 and 2000, treasury stock consisted of 864 and 868 shares of common stock at a cost of $700, respectively. In fiscal 2001 and 2000, the Company acquired 146,823 and 2,169,099 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $130,400 and $2,903,000, respectively. The fiscal 2000 amount includes 2,072,539 shares of common stock repurchased from GSC for $2.8 million. These shares were acquired pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 2, 1999 between the Company and GSC and which was consummated on January 6, 2000. In addition, the repurchase of these shares in fiscal year 2000 precluded the payment of an annual cash dividend for fiscal year 2000.

At June 30, 2001, the Company has net operating loss (NOL) carryforwards of approximately $7,053,200 for state income tax purposes. The NOL carryforwards, which are available to offset future taxable income of the Company and are subject to limitations should a “change in ownership” as defined in the Internal Revenue code occur, will begin to expire in 2002 if not utilized. The state NOL carryforwards expire as follows:

Amount of unused state operating loss carryforwards		Expiration during year ended June 30,
$	207,300	2002

$	7,053,200

At June 30, 2001, the Company had a federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credit of approximately $425,400 which is available to offset future federal income taxes once the Company is no longer subject to an alternative minimum tax for federal income tax purposes.

In fiscal 2001, the Company utilized the remaining balance of its federal NOL carryforwards. In connection with the Rotocast merger, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $394,400, net of a valuation allowance of $192,400 as of June 30, 1998, for the future benefit related to state NOL carryforwards. The current state valuation allowance, amounting to $307,200, represents the estimated amount of state NOL’s which will expire prior to their utilization. Again, realization of the future tax benefits of the NOL carryforwards is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate taxable income within the carryforward period. Management will continue to assess the likelihood of utilizing its state NOL’s by taking into consideration historical results and current economic conditions in which the Company operates. Management does not consider any non-routine transactions in assessing the likelihood of realization of the recorded deferred tax asset. Any future adjustments to the valuation allowance will be reflected as a component of the current years tax provision. Management also notes that the deferred tax provision does not result in current outlays of cash flows due to the utilization of its NOL’s. These cashflow savings are then available to supplement funding of the Company’s expansion projects, pay common stock dividends, acquire treasury stock and reduce outstanding debt. Under current projections, management anticipates it will fully utilize the federal AMT credit in fiscal 2002.

The following reconciles the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective rate of the provision for income taxes:

		For the year ended June 30,
		2001		2000		1999

Federal statutory rate		34.0	%	34.0	%	34.0	%
