Statements that are not historical in nature and which include such words as anticipate, estimate, should, expect, believe, intend, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements for the purpose of the safe harbor provided by Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act.
Business Development
The company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Wyoming on June 19, 1969. Following an involuntary dissolution for failure to file an annual report, the company was reinstated as a Wyoming corporation on October 14, 1999. On January 28, 2000, the company, through a majority shareholder vote, changed its domicile to Nevada through a merger with EMC Energies, Inc., a Nevada corporation. The Plan of Merger provided for the dissenting shareholders to be paid the amount, if any, to which they would be entitled under the Wyoming Corporation Statutes with respect to the rights of dissenting shareholders. The company also changed its par value to $.001 and the amount of authorized common stock to 100,000,000 shares.
Prior to 1990, the company was engaged in the business of exploring for and producing oil and gas in the Rocky Mountain and mid-continental areas of the United States. The company liquidated substantially all of its assets in 1990 and was dormant until June 30, 2000, when it acquired, in a stock for-stock, tax-free exchange, all of the outstanding common stock of a privately held Virginia corporation, Metwood, Inc. (Metwood), which was incorporated in 1993. See Form 8-K and attached exhibits filed August 11, 2000. Metwood has been in the metal and metal/wood construction materials manufacturing business since 1992. Following the acquisition, the company approved a name change from EMC Energies, Inc. to Metwood, Inc.
Effective January 1, 2002, Metwood acquired certain assets of Providence Engineering, PC (Providence), a professional engineering firm with customers in the same proximity as Metwood, paying $60,000 in cash and issuing 290,000 Metwood common shares to the two Providence shareholders (one of whom was also an officer and existing shareholder of Metwood prior to the acquisition). These shares were valued at the closing quoted stock price of $1.00 per share at the effective date of the purchase. On October 15, 2002, $15,000 additional cash was paid to one shareholder in exchange for the shareholders surrender of 15,000 shares of Metwood stock, and $50,000 was paid to that shareholder in two installments of $25,000 each (on January 15 and April 15, 2004) for 275,000 shares. All of the originally issued 290,000 shares of Metwood stock have thus been repurchased as of June 30, 2004. The initial purchase transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.

The consolidated company (the Company) provides construction-related products and engineering services to residential customers and contractors, commercial contractors, developers and retail enterprises, primarily in southwestern Virginia.
Principal Products or Services and Markets
Metwood Residential builders are aware of the superiority of steel framing vs. wood framing, insofar as steel framing is lighter; stronger; termite, pest, rot and fire resistant; and dimensionally more stable in withstanding induced loads. Although use of steel framing in residential construction has generally increased each year since 1980, many residential builders have been hesitant to utilize steel due to the need to retrain framers and subcontractors who are accustomed to a stick-built construction method where components are laid out and assembled with nails and screws. The Companys founders, Robert Callahan and Ronald Shiflett, saw the need to combine the strength and durability of steel with the convenience and familiarity of wood and wood fasteners.
The Companys primary products and services are:
| Girders and headers |
| Floor joists |
| Floor joist reinforcers |
| Roof and floor trusses and rafters |
| Metal framing |
| Square structural columns |
| Garage, deck and porch concrete pourover systems |
| Garage and post-and-beam buildings |
| Engineering, design and custom building services |
Metwood manufactures light-gage steel construction materials, usually combined with wood or wood fasteners, for use in residential and commercial applications in place of more conventional wood products, which are inferior in terms of strength and durability. The steel and steel/wood products allow structures to be built with increased load strength and structural integrity and fewer support beams or support configurations, thereby allowing for structural designs that are not possible with wood-only products.
Providence Extensively involved in ongoing product research and development for Metwood, Providence also offers its customers civil engineering capabilities which include rezoning and special use submissions; erosion and sediment control and storm-water management design; residential, commercial, and religious facility site development design; and utility design, including water, sewer and onsite treatment systems. Providences staff is familiar with construction practices and has been actively involved in construction administration and inspection on multiple projects.
Providence also performs a variety of structural design and analysis work, successfully providing solutions for many projects, including retaining walls, residential framing, commercial building framing, light-gage steel fabrication drawings, metal building retrofits and additions, mezzanines, and seismic anchors and restraints.
2
Providence has designed numerous foundations for a variety of structures. Its foundation design expertise includes metal building foundations, traditional building construction foundations, atypical foundations for residential structures, tower foundations, and sign foundations for a variety of uses and applications.
Providence has also designed and drafted full building plans for several applications. When subcontracting with local professional firms, Providence has the ability to provide basic architectural, mechanical, electrical, and detailed civil and structural design services for these facilities.
Providence has reviewed designs by manufacturers for a variety of structures and structural components, including retaining walls, radio towers, tower foundations, sign foundations, timber trusses, light-gage steel trusses, and light-gage steel beams. This service enables clients to take generic designs and have them certified and approved for construction in the desired locality.
Distribution Methods of Products and Services
The Companys sales are primarily retail, directly to contractors and do-it-yourself homeowners in Virginia and North Carolina. Approximately 30% of the Companys sales are wholesale to lumberyards, home improvement stores, hardware stores, and plumbing and electrical suppliers in Virginia and North Carolina. Metwood relies primarily on its own sales force to generate sales; additionally, however, the Company has distributors in Virginia, New York, Oklahoma, Arizona and Colorado and also utilizes the salespeople of wholesale yards stocking the Companys products as an additional sales force. The Company is in discussions with national engineered I-joist manufacturers who are interested in marketing the Companys products and expects to announce affiliations with these companies in the near future. Metwood intends to continue expanding the wholesale marketing of its unique products to retailers, to increase dealer sales, and to license the Companys technology and products to increase its distribution outside of Virginia, North Carolina and the South.
Status of Publicly Announced New Products or Services
The Company has acquired four new patents through assignment from Robert Callahan and Ronald Shiflett, the patent holders. All four patents reflect various modifications to the Companys Joist Reinforcing Bracket which will make it even easier for tradesmen to insert utility conduits through wood joists.
Seasonality of Market
The Companys sales are subject to seasonal impacts, as its products are used in residential and commercial construction projects which tend to be at peak levels in Virginia and North Carolina between the months of March and October. Accordingly, the Companys sales are greater in its fourth and first fiscal quarters. The Company builds an inventory of its products throughout the winter and spring to support its sales season.
3
Competition
Nationally, there are over one hundred manufacturers of the types of products produced by the Company. However, the majority of these manufacturers are using wood-only products or products without metal reinforcement. Metwood has identified only one other manufacturer in the United States that manufactures a wood-metal floor truss similar to that of the Company. However, Metwood has often found that its products are the only ones that will work within many customers design specs.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and the Names of Principal Suppliers
All of the raw materials used by the Company are readily available on the market from numerous suppliers. The light-gage metal used by the Company is supplied primarily by Dietrich Industries, Marino-Ware, and Consolidated Systems, Inc. The Companys main sources of lumber are Lowes, 84 Lumber Company and Smith Mountain Building Supply. Gerdau Amersteel, Descosteel and Adelphia Metals provide the majority of the Companys rebar. Because of the number of suppliers available to the Company, its decisions in purchasing materials are dictated primarily by price and secondarily by availability. The Company does not anticipate a lack of supply to affect its production; however, a shortage might cause the Company to pass on higher materials prices to its buyers.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers
Presently the Company does not have any one customer whose loss would have a substantial impact on the Companys operations.
Patents
The Company has eight U.S. Patents:
U.S. Patent No. 5,519,977, Joist Reinforcing Bracket, a bracket that reinforces wooden joists with a hole for the passage of a utility conduit. The Company refers to this as its floor joist patch kit.
U.S. Patent No. 5,625,997, Composite Beam, a composite beam that includes an elongated metal shell and a pierceable insert for receiving nails, screws or other penetrating fasteners.
U.S. Patent No. 5,832,691, a continuation in part of U.S. Patent No. 5,625,997, Composite Beam, a composite beam that includes an elongated metal shell and a pierceable insert for receiving nails, screws or other penetrating fasteners.
U.S. Patent No. 5,921,053, Internally Reinforced Girder with Pierceable Nonmetal Components, a girder that includes a pair of c -shaped members secured together so as to form a hollow box which permits the girder to be secured within a building structure with conventional fasteners such as nails, screws and staples.
U.S. Patent Nos. D472,791S; D472,792S; D472,793S; and D477,210S, all modifications of Metwoods Joist Reinforcing Bracket, which will be used for repairs of wood I-joists.
Each of these patents was originally issued to the inventors and Company founders, Robert Callahan and Ronald B. Shiflett, who licensed these patents to the Company.
4
Need for Government Approval of Principal Products
The Companys products must either be sold with an engineers seal or applicable building code approval. The Companys chief engineer has obtained professional licensure in several states, which permits products not building code approved to be sold and used with his seal. The Company expects his licensure in a growing number of states to greatly assist in the uniform acceptability of its products as it expands to new markets. Currently, the Company is seeking International Code Council (ICC) code approval on its joist reinforcers and beams. Once that approval is obtained, the products can be used in all fifty states and will eliminate the need for an engineers seal on individual products. To date, the Companys 2x10 floor joist reinforcer has received both Bureau Officials Code Association approval (2001) and ICC approval (2004).
Time Spent During the Last Two Fiscal Years on Research and Development Activities
Approximately fifteen percent of the Companys time and resources have been spent during the last two fiscal years researching and developing its metal/wood products, new product lines, and new patents.
Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
The Company does not incur any costs to comply with environmental laws. It is an environmentally friendly business in that its products are fabricated from recycled steel.
Number of Total Employees and Number of Full-Time Employees
The Company had twenty-three employees at June 30, 2004, twenty-two of whom were full time.
Item 2. Description of Property
The Company owns its facilities in Boones Mill, Virginia, which consist of corporate offices, warehouses, a garage/vehicle maintenance building, and other multi-use buildings. The condition of these buildings is excellent, and there is no mortgage or lien on the properties. In the opinion of management, the properties are adequately covered by insurance.
The Company does not invest in real estate or interests in real estate, real estate mortgages or securities of or interests in persons primarily engaged in real estate activities and therefore has no policies related to such investments.
The Company is not a party to any legal proceedings, nor, to the best of its knowledge, are any such proceedings threatened or contemplated.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matter was submitted to a vote during the year.

PART II
Because there is no active trading market for Metwood, Inc. common stock, it is difficult to determine the market value of the stock. Based on the average bid price for the Companys common stock at September 8, 2004 of $.90 per share (average asking price of $.90), the market value of shares held by non-affiliates would be $10,675,574. There are no preferred shares authorized.
The Company is listed on the OTC Bulletin Board of the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) under the symbol MTWD.OB.
Set forth below are the high and low bid prices for the Companys common stock for the last two years:
Quarter Ended High Bid Low Bid September 2002 $1.01 $0.60 December 2002 $0.80 $0.60 March 2003 $0.90 $0.57 June 2003 $1.09 $1.09 September 2003 $0.30 $0.30 December 2003 $0.80 $0.80 March 2004 $1.05 $0.65 June 2004 $0.60 $0.60
Holders
The number of holders of record of the Companys common stock as of September 8, 2004 was 1,104. This number does not include an indeterminate number of stockholders whose shares are held by brokers in street name. The number of stockholders has been substantially the same during the past ten years.
Dividends
Per the negative covenants in the line-of-credit agreements, the Company is restricted from paying dividends until the debt is repaid. The Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock and does not intend to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
Plan of Operation
The Company anticipates that the next twelve months will be a period of continued growth as it seeks to further expand its presence in new markets throughout the United States through increased numbers of distributors, licensees and dealers. ICC code approval is being sought for the Companys joist reinforcers and beams and is expected to be obtained within the coming fiscal year. If this approval is obtained, product marketability would be greatly enhanced and would likely lead to higher demand.
6
Higher product demand would likely increase the need for more capital as inventory requirements grew, which could be met through borrowing or a stock offering. No decision has been made at the present time, however, as to which means might be used to raise capital.

Results of Operations Fiscal 2004 Compared with Fiscal 2003
Revenues and Cost of Sales Consolidated gross sales increased $1,094,258, or 54%, for the year ended June 30, 2004 (fiscal 2004) compared to the year ended June 30, 2003 (fiscal 2003). Construction sales consisted of product sales, engineering, delivery and installation fees. Engineering sales consisted of fees for engineering services. Gross profit increased $465,335 (57%) from fiscal 2003 to fiscal 2004.
The increase in construction revenues was due to several factors, including adding inside sales support for outside sales reps, thereby freeing up the reps to make more daily contacts; increased marketing efforts, such as regular seminars for building inspectors and architects on the Companys systems and services; and strengthened dealer relationships. Also, product prices were raised in the third quarter to compensate for the increasing cost of steel. In addition, the Company experienced heightened demand for its pourover systems for fiscal 2004 compared to 2003 which had the added benefit of increasing related installation fees. Growth in engineering sales resulted from both higher demand and quicker turnaround time on jobs.
Cost of sales rose $628,923 overall (52%) in fiscal 2004 compared to fiscal 2003. On the construction side, cost of sales increased $604,681 (59%), while cost of engineering sales increased only $24,242 (14%). The rise in construction costs was due primarily to the higher steel prices the Company faced in fiscal 2004. However, efforts were made to secure as much steel as possible just prior to the new higher prices taking effect, thereby alleviating some of the impact of those increases. The Company anticipates that steel prices will continue to be high for the foreseeable future.
7
Administrative expenses These costs increased $137,036, or 17%, to $942,477 in fiscal 2004 from $805,441 in fiscal 2003. The increase was due primarily to higher advertising and marketing, insurance and payroll costs. Other smaller increases were offset by a significant decrease in professional fees in fiscal 2004 over 2003 of $34,521. Legal expenses in fiscal 2004 decreased $15,483 compared to fiscal 2003, which had included a large one-time outlay related to filing for Canadian patents on the Companys products. In addition, audit and outside accountants fees declined by $19,038.
Other Income (Expense) The Company was eligible for and received $9,244 from the Virginia Department of Business Assistance in fiscal 2004 as reimbursement for a portion of its employee training efforts compared to $0 in fiscal 2003. This income plus a gain of $3,600 from the sale of vehicles ($0 in fiscal 2003) as well as $12,419 in interest income and other fees ($8,101 in fiscal 2003) resulted in Other Income of $25,263, a net increase of $17,162 in fiscal 2004 over 2003. Interest expense amounted to $25,106 in 2004 compared to $15,538 in 2003, an increase of $9,568 and reflective of the Companys higher credit line and notes payable balances in fiscal 2004. Overall, there was an increase in other income of $7,594 in fiscal 2004 over fiscal 2003.
Income Taxes In fiscal 2004 the Companys income tax expense was $114,417 compared to a tax benefit of $778 in fiscal 2003. An income tax benefit was recognized for fiscal 2003 because temporary (timing) differences between book and tax income gave rise to a tax loss, which was fully carried back to prior years. The Company increased its deferred tax liability by $31,689 in 2004. The primary components of the deferred tax liability relate to timing differences between book and tax depreciation and the treatment of goodwill amortization.
Liquidity and Capital Reserves Cash flows provided by operations in fiscal 2004 were $212,452 versus cash flows used in fiscal 2003 of $159,428, a change of $371,880. The increase in cash flows from operations was primarily attributable to higher net income and increases in accounts payable and current income taxes payable, both of which will require future cash outlays. The Company also used $166,685 for capital improvements and purchases of fixed assets, while $2,314 was recouped from asset disposals. Financing activities in fiscal 2004 used $19,827 compared to $340,243 provided in fiscal 2003. The main use of funds in 2004 was $50,000 paid to a stockholder for his Metwood common stock, while funds in 2003 provided through financing activities was a net increase in borrowings under the Companys line-of-credit agreement of $377,000.
The Company has historically funded its cash needs through operating income and credit line draws as needed. It will continue to rely on sales revenue as its main source of liquidity and will incur debt primarily to fund inventory purchases as sales growth produces increased product demand. Liquidity needs that cannot be met by current sales revenue may also arise in certain unusual circumstances such as has previously occurred when rain and snow significantly slowed construction activity and resulted in a corresponding decline in demand for the Companys products. In those circumstances, debt may be added to meet the Companys fixed costs and to maintain inventory in anticipation of a spurt in product demand that generally occurs once a weather-related slowdown has ended.
8
On a long-term basis, the Company also anticipates that product demand will increase considerably as it continues to expand its marketing and advertising campaign, which may include the use of television, radio, print and internet advertising. Efforts are well underway to increase the number of out-of-state sales representatives/brokers who will market the Companys products throughout the country. As sales increase, the Company can add a second shift to meet the additional product demand without having to use funds to expand its production facilities. If additional cash becomes necessary to fund its growth, the Company may raise this capital through an additional follow-on stock offering rather than taking on more debt. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional equity or debt financing in the future. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital as needed, the Companys growth potential will be adversely affected, and the Company would have to significantly modify its plans.

METWOOD, INC. AND
SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE
30, 2004 AND 2003
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business Activity Metwood, Inc. (Metwood) was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on April 7, 1993. On June 30, 2000, Metwood entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization in which the majority of its outstanding common stock was acquired by a publicly held Nevada shell corporation. The acquisition was a tax-free exchange for federal and state income tax purposes and was accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 16. Upon acquisition, the name of the shell corporation was changed to Metwood, Inc., and Metwood, Inc., the Virginia corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Metwood, Inc., the Nevada corporation. The publicly traded shell corporation had not had a material operating history for several years prior to the merger.
Effective January 1, 2002, Metwood acquired certain assets of Providence Engineering, PC (Providence), a professional engineering firm with customers in the same proximity as Metwood. The total purchase price of $350,000 was paid with $60,000 in cash and with 290,000 shares of the Companys common stock to the two Providence shareholders. These shares were valued at the closing active quoted market price of the stock at the effective date of the purchase, which was $1.00 per share. One of the shareholders of Providence was also an officer and existing shareholder of Metwood prior to the acquisition. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting, and the purchase price was allocated as follows:
Accounts receivable $ 75,000 Fixed assets 45,000 Goodwill 230,000
Total $ 350,000
During the year ended June 30, 2003, liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition were identified and paid. The amount of the liabilities paid was $23,088 and has been added to goodwill.
The consolidated company provides construction-related products and engineering services to residential customers and contractors, commercial contractors, developers and retail enterprises, primarily in southwestern Virginia.
Basis of Presentation The financial statements include the accounts of Metwood, Inc. (a Nevada corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Metwood Inc. (a Virginia corporation) prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
16
Managements Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated 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 disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. At June 30, 2004, the significant estimates used by management include the valuation of its goodwill. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications Certain items in the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2003 have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2004 financial statement presentation.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments For certain of the Companys financial instruments, none of which are held for trading, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and the bank lines of credit, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, which, at times, may exceed the federally insured limit of $100,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable The Company grants credit in the form of unsecured accounts receivable to its customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is charged off to bad debt expense, is based on managements assessment of current economic conditions and historical collection experience with each customer. At June 30, 2004, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $10,262. Specific customer receivables are considered past due when they are outstanding beyond their contractual terms and are charged off to the allowance for doubtful accounts when determined uncollectible. For the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the bad debt expense was $12,302 and $2,061, respectively.
Inventory Inventory, consisting primarily of metal and wood raw materials, is located on the Companys premises and is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method.
Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost and include expenditures for improvements when they substantially increase the productive lives of existing assets. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the assets estimated useful lives, which range from three to forty years.
Patents The Company has been assigned several key product patents developed by certain Company officers. No value has been recorded in the Companys financial statements because the fair value of the patents was not determinable within reasonable limits at the date of assignment.
17
Goodwill In June 2001 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. This statement requires that goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have an indefinite life not be amortized. Instead, such assets are to be tested for impairment annually or immediately if conditions indicate that such an impairment could exist. Transition to the new rules of SFAS 142 requires the completion of a transitional impairment test of goodwill within the first year of adoption. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 142 beginning July 1, 2002 and completed the transitional impairment test of goodwill as of July 1, 2002 and again as of June 30, 2003 and 2004 using discounted cash flow estimates and found no goodwill impairment.
Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when goods are shipped and earned or when services are performed, provided collection of the resulting receivable is probable. If any material contingencies are present, revenue recognition is delayed until all material contingencies are eliminated. Further, no revenue is recognized unless collection of the applicable consideration is probable.
Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and for net operating loss carryforwards, where applicable. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Research and Development The Company performs research and development on its metal/wood products, new product lines, and new patents. Costs, if any, are expensed as they are incurred. For the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the expenses relating to research and development were approximately $30,872 and $28,000, respectively.
Advertising The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. However, certain expenditures are treated as prepaid (such as trade show fees) if they are for goods or services which will not be received until after the end of the accounting period, and they are subsequently recognized as expenses in those periods in which the goods or services are received.
Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. If applicable, diluted earnings per share would assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. This presentation has been adopted for the years presented. There were no adjustments required to net income for the years presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149 Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The effective date for implementation of this statement is for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of implementation of this statement; however it does not expect the statement to apply, since it does not own nor plan to own derivative instruments or engage in hedging activities.
18
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. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). The remaining provisions of this statement are consistent with the Boards proposal to revise the definition of liabilities to encompass certain obligations that a reporting entity can or must settle by issuing its own equity shares, depending on the nature of the relationship established between the holder and the issuer. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this statement has had no material impact on the Companys consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
In December 2003, the FASB issued a revised version of SFAS No. 132, Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. This statement requires additional disclosures to those in the original Statement 132 about the assets, obligations, cash flows, and net periodic benefit costs of defined benefit pension plans and other defined benefit postretirement plans and is effective for financial statements with fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003. Because the Company does not currently have a pension or postretirement benefit plan, the statement has had no impact on the Companys consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
NOTE 2 SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION
Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 are summarized as follows:

NOTE 3 RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
For the year ended June 30, 2004, the Company had sales of $98,428 to its shareholder and CEO, Robert Callahan. As of June 30, 2004, the related receivable was $26,163.
Also, from time to time, the Company contracts with a construction company 50% owned by the Companys CEO which provides capital improvements and maintenance work on the Companys buildings and grounds. During the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the construction company billed the Company $160,555 and $0, respectively, for its services. The Company also purchased two vehicles from the construction company for a total of $16,000.
19
The Company transferred land at its book and fair market value of $89,000 to the construction company in partial payment of the amounts due the construction company. Additionally, because the construction company is owned by the Companys CEO, the Companys receivable from its CEO was reduced by offsetting it against the Companys payable to the related construction company.
See Note 7 below for related-party common stock transactions.
NOTE 4 COMMITMENT
During the year ended June 30, 2003, the Company implemented a stock-based incentive compensation plan for its employees. Participating employees have an after-tax deduction withheld by the Company throughout the calendar year. As of December 31 of each year, the employee is considered vested in the plan, and the Company will match the participating employees withheld amounts. The Company may also make a discretionary contribution based upon pay incentives or attendance. Periodically, the Company will purchase restricted stock on behalf of the employee in the amount of his withholdings, the Companys match, and any discretionary contributions.
As of June 30, 2004, the Company had ten participating employees who withheld an amount immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. No accrual for the Companys match has been made in the current year.
NOTE 5 SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS AND CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS
The Company has available a $600,000 revolving line of credit with a local bank. Interest is payable monthly on the outstanding balance at the prime lending rate, which was 4.0% as of June 30, 2004.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amount used for federal and state income tax purposes. Deferred tax liabilities at June 30, 2004 were $83,072, net of deferred tax assets of $4,058. The components of these amounts are as follows:
Depreciation | $ | 70,856 | ||||||

Provision for bad debts | (3,026 | ) | ||||||
Restricted stock compensation | (1,032 | ) | ||||||
Net deferred tax liabilities | $ | 79,014 | ||||||
NOTE 9 CONCENTRATIONS
There is no single customer or group of related customers from whom the Company derived more than 10% of its accounts receivable as of June 30, 2004. The Company is potentially vulnerable to a concentration-related risk with respect to its metal suppliers, however, since three vendors supply approximately 55% of the metal used in the manufacture of the Companys products, though these vendors have been used primarily because of their competitive pricing. Several other metal suppliers are available to the Company, but purchasing from them, should that become necessary, would likely result in increased costs.
NOTE 10 SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company operates in two principal business segments: (1) construction-related products and (2) engineering services. Performance of each segment is evaluated based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes. These reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. Summarized revenue and expense information by segment for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 is as follows:

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Companys directors, officers and persons who own more than 10% of the Companys common stock or other registered class of equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based solely on a review of the forms received covering purchase and sale transactions in the Companys common stock during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, the Company believes that each person who, at any time during that period, was a director, executive officer, or beneficial owner of more than 10% of the Companys common stock complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements except as follows: Ronald Shiflett failed to timely report sale transactions in January and April 2004.

Changes in Control
We know of no contractual arrangements which may at a subsequent date result in a change of control in the Company.
Following are the transactions between Metwood and members of management, directors, officers, 5% shareholders, and promoters of Metwood:
The Company contracts with a construction company 50% owned by the Companys CEO which provides capital improvements and maintenance work on the Companys buildings and grounds. During the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the construction company billed the Company $160,555 and $0, respectively, for its services. The Company also purchased two vehicles from the construction company for a total of $16,000.
The Company transferred land at its book and fair market value of $89,000 to the construction company in partial payment of the amounts due the construction company. Additionally, because the construction company is owned by the Companys CEO, the Companys receivable from its CEO was reduced by offsetting it against the Companys payable to the related construction company.
