Board of Directors

AbilityOne Corporation and Subsidiaries

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of income and cash flows (financial statements) of AbilityOne Corporation and Subsidiaries (Company) for the period from January 1, 2000 to September 15, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of AbilityOne Corporation and Subsidiaries for the period from January 1, 2000 to September 15, 2000, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

For the period January 1, 2000 to September 15, 2000

(Dollars in Thousands)

 

1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Description of Business

 

AbilityOne Corporation and subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) manufacture and market a broad range of rehabilitation and patient-assist products, orthopedic treatment products, and other therapeutic products and devices. These products are sold primarily in North America to medical professionals, institutions, retail suppliers, and consumers.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized upon shipment of products to customers. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of consolidated sales.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

AbilityOne Corporation is a majority-owned subsidiary of BISSELL Inc. (Parent). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AbilityOne Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and maintains reserves for potential credit losses.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s Canadian subsidiary uses the Canadian dollar as its functional currency. Accordingly, assets and liabilities are translated into the reporting currency at the year-end exchange rate, while revenues and expenses are translated at weighted-average rates during the year.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which consist of cash, receivables, accounts payable, and long-term debt, approximate their fair values.

1. Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

 

Cash Equivalents

 

All highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less, when purchased, are classified as cash equivalents.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of FIFO (first in, first out) cost or market.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. For income tax purposes, accelerated depreciation methods and shorter useful lives are used.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill resulting from business acquisitions is stated at cost and amortized over a period not to exceed 40 years using the straight-line method.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes the liability method to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

 

The Company’s federal tax return will be filed as part of its Parent’s consolidated return. For financial reporting purposes, the Company has determined its income tax expense as if it were filing a separate federal tax return.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including goodwill, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred based on expected future cash flows, a current charge to income is recognized.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred. Advertising expense was $1,225 for the period January 1, 2000 to September 15, 2000.

 

Stock Options

 

As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (FAS No. 123), the Company accounts for stock options in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Options No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25). The number of shares is fixed and the exercise price of the options granted to employees equals or exceeds the estimated fair value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. As such, no compensation expense has been recognized by the Company for these options.

2.    Benefit Plans

 

The Company has a noncontributory, defined-benefit pension plan covering substantially all of its employees. The defined-benefit plan provides benefits based on the participants’ years of service. The Company’s funding policy for the defined-benefit plan is to make annual contributions which equal or exceed regulatory requirements.

 

Net periodic cost for the pension plan for the period January 1, 2000 to September 15, 2000, amounted to $157.

 

Benefits paid to participants were $237 during the period January 1, 2000 to September 15, 2000.

 

The Parent has a defined-contribution 401(k) savings plan for the benefit of substantially all of the Company’s employees. The plan is entirely funded by participant contributions in the form of payroll deductions.

 

3.    Rent Expense

 

Rent expense charged to operations, including amounts paid under short-term cancelable leases, was $336 for the period from January 1, 2000 to September 15, 2000.

 

The Company leases certain real property and equipment under noncancelable operating leases, which expire at various dates through 2006.

 

Annual minimum rental payments required under operating leases are as follows:

 

Year ending December 31:

      

2002

   $ 574

2003

     578

2004

     560

4.    Income Taxes

 

The provision for income taxes for the period from January 1, 2000 to September 15, 2000, consists of the following:

 

Current:

        

Federal

   $ 1,350  

State

     161  

Foreign

     425  
    


       1,936  

Deferred

     (42 )
    


     $ 1,894  
    


 

The difference between the amount of income tax provision recorded and the amount of income tax provision calculated using the U.S. federal statutory rate is primarily due to: (a) state and local income taxes, (b) foreign taxes, and (c) amortization of goodwill.

 

5.    Subsequent Event

 

On September 15, 2000, all of the outstanding shares of AbilityOne Corporation were acquired by AbilityOne Products Corp. for $68.7 million. This amount included common and preferred stock of the acquirer valued at $2 million which was issued to former stock option holders. The acceleration of the vesting of the options resulted in expense that is included in transaction related expenses. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the specific assets and liabilities based upon their fair market values. The following summarizes the purchase price allocation and cash paid:

 

Book value of assets acquired

   $ 23,859  

Goodwill and other intangibles

     50,267  

Liabilities assumed

     (5,475 )
    


     $ 68,651
