NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2005
(UNAUDITED)
 
 
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 Company’s 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. On January 15, 2004, Metwood purchased from that shareholder and retired 137,500 of the originally issued 290,000 shares for $25,000. The initial purchase transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price was allocated as follows:
 
 
       
Accounts receivable
 
$
75,000
 
Fixed assets
   
45,000
 
Goodwill
   
230,000
 
 
       
   Total
 
$
350,000
 
 
       

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.
 
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.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The results for the period ended December 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2006.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, none of which are held for trading, including cash, recoverable income taxes, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
 
Management’s 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, 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
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 management’s assessment of current economic conditions and historical collection experience with each customer. At December 31, 2005, 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 three and months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, the bad debt expense was $-0- for all periods.
 
Inventory — Inventory, consisting of metal and wood raw materials, is located on the Company’s 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.
 
When a fixed asset is disposed of, its cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. The difference between undepreciated cost and the proceeds from disposition is recorded as a gain or loss.
 
Patents — The Company has been assigned several key product patents developed by certain Company officers. No value has been recorded in the Company’s financial statements because the fair value of the patents was not determinable within reasonable limits at the date of assignment.

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. 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 December 31, 2005 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.
 
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 quarters presented. There were no adjustments required to net income for the years presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
 
Reclassifications — Certain items in the financial statements for the three and six months ended December 31, 2004 have been reclassified to conform to the December 31, 2005 consolidated financial statement presentation.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements — In January 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities". FIN No. 46 requires the consolidation of entities that cannot finance their activities without the support of other parties and that lack certain characteristics of a controlling interest, such as the ability to make decisions about the entity's activities via voting rights or similar rights. The entity that consolidates the variable interest entity is the primary beneficiary of the entity's activities. FIN No. 46 applies immediately to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and must be applied in the first period beginning after June 15, 2003 for entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest entity that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company adopted this Interpretation in the first quarter of fiscal 2005.

In January 2003, the EITF released Issue No. 00-21, ("EITF 00-21"), "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliveries", which addressed certain aspects of the accounting by a vendor for arrangement under which it will perform multiple revenue-generating activities. Specifically, EITF 00-21 addresses whether an arrangement contains more than one unit of accounting and the measurement and allocation to the separate units of accounting in the arrangement. EITF 00-21 is effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this standard will not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The Company does not believe that there will be any impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how companies classify and measure certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires companies to classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003. The standard will not impact the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R), "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". SFAS 123(R) establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123(R) requires that the fair value of such equity instruments be recognized as expense in the historical financial statements as services are performed. Prior to SFAS 123(R), only certain pro-forma disclosures of fair value were required. SFAS 123(R) shall be effective for the Company as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The adoption of this new accounting pronouncement is expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company commencing with the third quarter of the year ending September 30, 2006. Small business issuers need not comply with the new standard until fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2005. We already disclose expense of employee stock options for annual and quarterly periods on fair value calculation according to SFAS No.123.
 
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs” (SFAS 151). This Statement amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). SFAS 151 requires that those items be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, this Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. The provisions of SFAS 151 are effective for inventory costs incurred in fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005.

With the exception of historical facts stated herein, the matters discussed in this report are “forward-looking” statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Such “forward-looking” statements include, but are not necessarily limited to, statements regarding anticipated levels of future revenues and earnings from operations of the Company. Readers of this report are cautioned not to put undue reliance on “forward-looking” statements, which are by their nature, uncertain as reliable indicators of future performance. 
 
Description of Business
 
Background 
 
As discussed in detail in Note 1, the Company was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on April 7, 1993 and, on June 30, 2000, entered into a reverse merger in which it became the wholly owned subsidiary of a public Nevada shell corporation, renamed Metwood, Inc. Effective January 1, 2002, Metwood acquired certain assets of Providence Engineering, PC in a transaction accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
 
Principal Products/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 Company’s 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.
 
Metwood’s primary products and services are:
 
 
· Girders and headers
· Floor joists
· Floor joist reinforcers
· Roof and floor trusses
· Garage, deck and porch concrete pour-over systems
· Garage and post-and-beam buildings
· Engineering, design and custom building services
 
 
11

 
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.
 
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 Company’s Joist Reinforcing Bracket which will make it even easier for tradesmen to insert utility conduits through wood joists.
 
Seasonality of Market 
 
The Company’s 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 Company’s 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.
 
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 Company’s main sources of lumber are Lowe’s, 84 Lumber Company and Smith Mountain Building Supply. Gerdau Amersteel, Descosteel and Adelphia Metals provide the majority of the Company’s 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 Company’s operations.
 
Patents 
 
The Company’s eight U.S. Patents are:
 
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.
 
 
12

 
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, “Composite Beam,” a composite beam that includes an elongated metal shell and a pierceable insert for receiving nails, screws or other penetrating fasteners. This is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Patent No. 5,625,997.
 
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 Metwood’s 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 Shiflett, who licensed these patents to the Company.
 
Need for Government Approval of Principal Products
 
The Company’s products must either be sold with an engineer’s seal or applicable building code approval. Once that approval is obtained, the products can be used in all fifty states. The Company’s Floor Joist Reinforcer received Bureau Officials Code Association (“BOCA”) approval in April 2001. Currently, the Company’s chief engineer has obtained professional licensure in several states which permit 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.
 
Time Spent During the Last Two Fiscal Years on Research and Development Activities
 
Approximately fifteen percent of the Company’s 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 thirty-six employees at December 31, 2005, thirty-five of whom were full time.
 
Results of Operations
 
Net Income
 
We had net income (loss) of $(18,134), $127,792, $103,361 and $266,240 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This represents a decrease in net income of $145,926 and $162,879 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 compared to prior period amounts. The decreases in net income for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 over 2004 resulted from an increase in administrative expenses in the amounts of $83,104 and $151,665, respectively and a decrease in gross profit in the amounts of $116,675 and $94,676, respectively. We also experienced an increase in fuel costs in the 2005 period compared to 2004 which caused a deterioration in our gross margins for 2005.
 
Revenues
 
Gross sales were $903,597, $897,375, $2,159,395 and $2,012,195, respectively for the three and six month’s ended December 31, 2005, increases of $6,222 and $147,200, or 2% and 11%, respectively for 2005 and 2004. This increase resulted from a combination of greater sales volume, an average increase in selling prices and materials costs decrease.
 
The Company’s significant growth in fiscal 2005 sales over fiscal 2004 resulted from several factors, all of which will continue to have a positive impact on sales into the future. Awareness of the Company’s products has increased as a result of aggressive marketing campaigns, and its patented, innovative products are becoming known throughout the country. The Company’s customer base continues to grow as a result. Additionally, new products using the technology of the Company’s four newly issued patents began production at the beginning of the current fiscal year and contributed to the growth in revenues for the six months ending December 31, 2005.

Expenses
 
Total administrative expenses were $380,709, $297,605, $734,256 and $592,591 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005, increases of $83,104 (28%) and $141,665 (24%), respectively. Areas of particular increase for the three and six months ended December 31, 2005 over 2004 were rental expense due to the aforementioned lease back of our property (100%) and payroll expense due to increased sales volume (7%). We hired additional employees to handle our increase in sales volume in 2005. We also advertised more which generated the increase in sales above. Advertising expense increased by 29% and 40% during the three and six months ending December 31, 2005 compared to the prior periods in 2004, respectively.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
On December 31, 2005, we had cash of $187,902 and working capital of $1,345,606. Net cash provided by operating activities was $25,850 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $101,692 for the six months ended December 31, 2004. The decreased provision of cash in the current 2005 period resulted primarily from an increase in inventory that used current cash. Our net income also increased during the 2005 period.
 
Net cash (used in) investing activities was $75,990 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 compared to net cash used of $44,260 during the same period in the prior year. Cash flows used in investing activities for the current period were for shop equipment, office equipment, computers, software and vehicles.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $3,435 for the six months ended December 31, 2005 as compared to $(58,321) (used in) financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2004. During the six month period ended December 31, 2004, we issued 15,750 shares of restricted common stock for cash of $7,875 and we repaid all of our long term debt. During the six month period ended December 31, 2005, we issued 10,300 shares of restricted common stock for cash of $3,435.
