Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations

Lee-Var, Inc., doing business as Palmer of Texas (the Company), founded in 1989 from the purchase of the assets of a predecessor company, Andrews Fiberglass, is a manufacturer of fiberglass and steel tanks for the oil and gas, waste water treatment and municipal water industries. The Company is based in Andrews, Texas. Additionally, in 2011, the company opened a second, smaller production facility in Orange, Texas to produce specialized fiberglass tanks to meet a specific customer’s needs.

Basis of Accounting

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accounting principles followed by the Company and the methods of applying those principles, which materially affect the determination of financial position, results of operations and cash flows are summarized below.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the 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 as of the date of the balance sheet and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for bad debts and inventory reserves. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk

The Company's activities are with customers located primarily in Texas and New Mexico. All transactions are denominated in United States dollars. The Company’s operations are primarily dependent on the level of activity in the petroleum industry in the West Texas region. As such, local economic cycles may have an impact on the collectability of customer accounts. The Company considers this contingency when evaluating the allowance for doubtful accounts.

The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses on such accounts.

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Significant Group Concentrations of Credit Risk – continued

During the year ended September 30, 2011, four customers accounted for approximately 51.0% of the Company’s sales. During the year ended September 30, 2010 the same four customers accounted for approximately 29.9% of the Company’s sales. As of September 30, 2011 and 2010, the same four customers accounted for approximately 50.6% and 27.0% of the Company’s accounts receivable, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash balances at financial institutions with strong credit ratings.

Accounts Receivable and Related Allowances

Accounts receivable from the sale of products are recorded at net realizable value and the Company generally grants credit to customers on an unsecured basis. Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivables are due from companies located throughout the United States. The Company provides an allowance for doubtful collections and for disputed claims and quality issues. The allowance is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information and existing economic conditions. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally does not require a pledge of collateral. Receivables are usually due within 30 to 45 days. Delinquent receivables are written off based on individual credit evaluations and specific circumstances of the customer.

Activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts was as follows:

	September 30,

	2011			2010

Balance at beginning of year	$	131,000		$	73,000
Provision for bad debts		147,000			59,000
Net charge-offs and recoveries		(139,870	)		(1,000	)

Balance at end of year	$	138,130		$	131,000

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value less allowance for inventory obsolescence, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and current market conditions. For the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, inventory adjustments for obsolescence and market reserves were insignificant.

NOTE 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – continued

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Land improvements and buildings are depreciated over a range of 15 to 40 years, and machinery, fixtures and equipment are depreciated over a range of three to seven years.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are recognized when the following conditions are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Generally, these criteria are met at the time product is delivered to their destination or services are complete. Provisions are made upon sale for estimated product returns. Revenue recognition criteria are the same for all product lines.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales includes the cost of inventory sold during the period, including costs for manufacturing, inbound freight, receiving, inspection, warehousing, and internal transfers less vendor rebates. Costs associated with shipping and handling products are included in cost of sales. Purchasing costs are included in cost of sales.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 amounted to $42,002 and $25,569, respectively. Advertising costs are included in selling, general and administrative expense.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximated fair value as of September 30, 2011 and 2010.

Preferred stock

The Company has authorized 500,000 shares each of Preferred Series A stock and Preferred Series B stock, both with a par value of $1.00, each preferred share is convertible into .1656 common shares, are not entitled to voting rights and there are none outstanding.

Income Taxes

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted the recent accounting guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which sets out a consistent framework to determine the appropriate level of tax reserves to maintain for uncertain tax positions.

The Company’s income tax expense consists of the following components: current and deferred. Current income tax expense reflects taxes to be paid or refunded for the current period by applying the provisions of the enacted tax law to the taxable income or excess of deductions over revenues. The Company determines deferred income taxes using the liability (or balance sheet) method. Under this method, the net deferred tax asset or liability is based on the tax effects of the differences between the book and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and enacted changes in tax rate and laws are recognized in the period in which they occur.

Deferred income tax expense results from changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities between periods. Deferred tax assets are recognized if it is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, that the tax position will be realized or sustained upon examination. The term more likely than not means a likelihood of more than 50 percent; the terms examined and upon examination also include resolution of the related appeals or litigation processes, if any.

A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is initially and subsequently measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. The determination of whether or not a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold considers the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date and is subject to management’s judgment.

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of evidence available, it is more likely than not some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company recognizes interest accrued on and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense.

During the year ended September 30, 2011 the Company recognized no interest and penalties. The Company has no unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2011 and 2010.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007.

In May of 2006, the State of Texas implemented a new tax on taxable margin, effective for years ended after December 31, 2006. For the Company, taxable margin is revenue less cost of goods sold. The margin tax was insignificant for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
