OCEAN BIO-CHEM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1. 
SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Interim reporting
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly-owned, and OdorStar Technology LLC (“OdorStar”), a joint venture in which the Company has a controlling interest.  All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.  Certain prior-period data have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.  Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term “Company” includes Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
 
The financial information furnished herein reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods.  The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
 
For further information, please refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Use of estimates

The preparation of condensed 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 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 and assumptions.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from product sales is recognized when persuasive evidence of a contract exists, the sales price is fixed and determinable, the title of goods passes to the customer, and collectability of the related receivable is probable.  Reported net sales are net of customer prompt pay discounts, contractual allowances, authorized customer returns, consumer rebates and other sales incentives.

Advertising and Promotion Expense

Advertising and promotion expense consists of advertising costs and catalog costs.  Advertising costs are expensed in the period in which the advertising occurs and were approximately $476,000 and $514,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively and approximately $1,506,000 and $1,201,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The Company capitalizes the direct cost of producing its catalogs.  Capitalized catalog costs are amortized, once a catalog is distributed, over the expected net sales period, which is generally from one to twelve months.  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company did not have any significant capitalized catalog costs.

Stock based compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("FASB ASC") Topic 718, "Accounting for Stock Compensation," which establishes accounting standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services.  Under FASB ASC Topic 718, the Company recognizes an expense for the fair value of its outstanding stock options and grants as they vest, whether held by employees or others.

Noncontrolling interest

Noncontrolling interest represents the portion of OdorStar equity that the Company does not own.  Profits and losses in OdorStar are allocated equally between the Company and its joint venture partner, and contributions to OdorStar are made equally by the Company and its joint venture partner.  Because the Company manages OdorStar, it has a controlling interest in OdorStar, and the Company consolidates OdorStar in its financial statements.  The Company accounts for and reports its noncontrolling interest in accordance with the provisions of the FASB ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation.”

Subsequent events

The Company evaluates events through the date the financial statements are filed for events requiring adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statements.
 
2. 
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 that are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  Accounting pronouncements that became effective during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 had no material impact on disclosures or on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

On July 6, 2011, the Company, together with its subsidiary, Kinpak Inc. (“Kinpak”), entered into a Credit Agreement with Regions Bank (and, pursuant to an Equipment Finance Addendum to the Credit Agreement, Regions Equipment Finance Corporation (“REFCO”)).  Under the Credit Agreement, the Company’s revolving line of credit with Regions Bank was renewed.  The terms of the revolving line of credit, as renewed, provide that the Company may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $6 million or (ii) a borrowing base equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory.  Interest on the revolving line of credit is payable at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 1.74% per annum (unless the Company’s debt service coverage ratio (net profit plus interest, depreciation, amortization and rent expense divided by debt service plus interest) falls below 2.0 to 1, in which case the interest is payable at the 30 day libor rate plus 2.75% per annum).  In no event will the interest rate be less than 2.0% per annum.  Outstanding amounts under the revolving line of credit are payable on demand.  If no demand is made, the Company may repay and reborrow funds from time to time.  The Company’s obligations under the revolving line of credit are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory, as well as real property and equipment at Kinpak’s Montgomery, Alabama facility.  The Company’s obligations under the revolving line of credit and the term loan discussed in footnote 7 below are cross-collateralized.    Interest on amounts borrowed under the revolving line of credit is payable in monthly installments on outstanding average balances, with all outstanding principal and interest payable on July 6, 2014.  The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants requiring a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.75 to 1.00, tested on a rolling four-quarter basis, and a maximum debt to capitalization ratio (funded debt divided by the sum of total net worth and funded debt) of 0.75 to 1, tested quarterly.  At September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with these covenants . The Company’s principal obligation under the revolving line of credit at September 30, 2011 was $3,400,000 and the interest rate was 2.0% per annum.

LONG TERM DEBT

On July 6, 2011, under the Equipment Finance Addendum to the Credit Agreement, REFCO provided to the Company a $2,430,000 term loan with a fixed interest rate of 3.54%.  Principal and interest on the term loan are payable in equal monthly installments through July 6, 2017, the date on which the term loan matures.  The proceeds of the term loan were used to pay the Company’s remaining obligations under the lease agreement relating to the Series 2002 Bonds described in the following paragraph.  At September 30, 2011, approximately $2,369,000 was outstanding under the term loan.

At December 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding rent obligations under the two lease agreements between Kinpak and the Industrial Development Board of the City of Montgomery, Alabama.  Payments under the lease agreements were used to pay debt service on two series of industrial revenue bonds issued in 1997 (the “Series 1997 Bonds”) and 2002 (the “Series 2002 Bonds”), respectively.  On March 1, 2011, the Series 1997 Bonds were paid in full, and on July 6, 2011, the Series 2002 Bonds were paid in full.  As a result, Kinpak acquired the facilities and equipment subject to the lease agreement.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company was obligated under various capital lease agreements covering equipment utilized in the Company’s operations.  The capital leases, aggregating $70,305 and $93,112 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, have varying maturities through 2015 and carry interest rates ranging from 7% to 14%.

Results of Operations:

Three Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010

Net sales increased to approximately $9,884,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 from approximately $9,019,000 during the corresponding period in 2010, an increase of $865,000 or 9.6%.  The sales increase primarily reflects customer growth in newer markets, including recreational vehicle, power sports, agriculture and outdoor power equipment.

Cost of goods sold and gross profit – Cost of goods sold during the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased by approximately $705,000 or 12.1%, to approximately $6,538,000 from approximately $5,833,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The increase in cost of goods sold is primarily a result of the increase in sales volume.

The Company’s gross margin percentage (gross margin as a percentage of net sales) decreased by 1.5% in the third quarter of 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.  This decrease was primarily a result of a higher mix of lower margin antifreeze sales and, to a lesser degree, the higher cost of goods for oils and oil-derived raw materials that could not be passed along to customers.  The increase in net sales volume resulted in an approximately $160,000 increase in gross profit.

Advertising and promotion decreased to approximately $476,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $514,000 during the corresponding period in 2010, a decrease of approximately $38,000 or 7.4%.  As a percentage of net sales, advertising and promotion expense decreased from 5.7% in the third quarter of 2010 to 4.8% in the third quarter of 2011.  The decrease reflects differences in the timing of advertizing expenditures.  Advertising expense for all of 2011 is expected to be higher than 2010.

Selling and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $14,000 or 1.1% during the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the same period in 2010.  As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased from 13.9% to 12.6%.

Interest expense increased by approximately $2,000 to $35,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $33,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The increase reflects higher borrowings to support higher sales volumes, inventory and receivables, somewhat offset by lower interest rates, during the 2011 period.

Operating income – As a result of the foregoing, operating income was approximately $1,628,000 in the third quarter of 2011 compared to approximately $1,417,000 in the 2010 period, an increase of $211,000 or 14.9%.

Income taxes - The Company income tax expense in the third quarter of 2011 was approximately $479,000, or 29.8% of pretax income, compared to $625,000, or 44.1% of pretax income, during the corresponding period in 2011.  The lower tax rate in 2011 is primarily attributable to a change in our federal domestic production activities deduction and a change in state income tax apportionment.
 
Net income and Net income attributable to Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. - As a result of the items mentioned above, net income for the third quarter of 2011 increased by approximately $338,000, or 42.8%, to $1,128,000 from approximately $790,000 in the third quarter of 2010.  Net income attributable to Ocean Bio-Chem. Inc. increased by approximately $340,000, or 42.6%, to $1,138,000 in the third quarter 2011, from approximately $798,000 in 2010.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010
 
Net sales increased to approximately $24,835,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from approximately $21,570,000 in the corresponding period in 2010, an increase of $3,265,000 or 15.1%.  As discussed in the three month analysis above, the sales increase primarily reflects customer growth in newer markets, including recreational vehicle, power sports, agriculture and other power equipment.

Cost of goods sold and gross profit – Cost of goods sold in 2011 increased 15.0%, to approximately $16,002,000 from approximately $13,918,000 in 2010.  The increase in cost of goods sold is mostly attributable to the increase in net sales.  The Company’s gross margin percentage remained relatively stable, increasing by 0.1% in 2011.  Principally due to the increase in net sales, gross profit for the first nine months of 2011 increased by $1,180,000, or 15.4%, as compared to gross profit in the corresponding period of 2010.

Advertising and promotion increased to approximately $1,506,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $1,201,000 during the same period in 2010, an increase of approximately $305,000 or 25.4%.  The increase is due to a radio advertising campaign and increased magazine and newspaper advertising.  As a percentage of net sales, advertising and promotion expense increased from 5.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to 6.1% during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Selling and administrative expenses increased by approximately $371,000 or 9.4% to $4,018,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $3,647,000 during the corresponding period in 2010. The increase is mostly due to an increase in variable selling expenses, including sales commissions and travel and trade show expenses; higher shipping costs due to higher sales volumes; and increased fuel costs to ship products.  As a percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expenses decreased from 16.9% during the first nine months of 2010 to 16.2% during the same period in 2011.

Interest expense increased approximately $7,000 to $108,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $101,000 during the same period in 2010.  The increase in interest expense is attributable to increased borrowings to support higher sales volumes and receivables.

Operating income – As a result of the foregoing, operating income increased to approximately $3,309,000 during the first nine months of 2011 from approximately $2,804,000 in the 2010 period, an increase of $505,000 or 18.0%.

Income taxes - The Company had income tax expense of approximately $1,107,000 during the first nine months of 2011, or 34.2% of pretax income, compared to $1,199,000, or 43.5% of pretax income, for the corresponding 2010 period.  The lower tax rate in 2011 is primarily attributable to a change in our federal domestic production activities deduction and a change in state income tax apportionment

Net income and Net income attributable to Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. As a result of the items mentioned above, net income during the first nine months of 2011 increased by approximately $576,000, or 37.0%, to $2,133,000 from $1,557,000 during the first nine months of 2010.  Net income attributable to Ocean Bio-Chem, Inc. increased by approximately $557,000, or 34.4%, to approximately $2,175,000 during the first nine months of 2011, from approximately $1,618,000 in the 2010 period.

Liquidity and capital resources:

The Company’s cash balance was approximately $809,000 at September 30, 2011 compared to approximately $615,000 at December 31, 2010.  At September 30, 2011, the Company had $3,400,000 in short-term borrowings outstanding under the Company’s revolving line of credit compared to no short-term borrowings under the revolving line of credit at December 31, 2010.  The increase in short term borrowings is primarily attributable to the increase in working capital needs as a result of increased sales.

Net cash used by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was approximately $1,903,000 compared to approximately $939,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, principally due to increased working capital needs.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, inventory increased by approximately $2,967,000 and accounts receivable increased by approximately $3,291,000.  The inventory increase related to a strategy of purchasing in anticipation of higher petroleum prices, and higher seasonal sales of winterizing products.  The increase in accounts receivable is mostly a result of higher September 2011 sales.  The uses of cash were partially offset by net income of approximately $2,133,000, non-cash charges of approximately $1,256,000, and an increase of approximately $1,115,000 in accounts payable and other accrued expenses.  The major non-cash charges were stock based compensation of approximately $389,000 and depreciation and amortization of approximately $585,000.

Net cash used by investing activities was approximately $276,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to approximately $793,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  In the current period, the Company used approximately $313,000 principally to purchase manufacturing equipment at facilities owned by its subsidiary, Kinpak, Inc. (“Kinpak”), partially offset by a $36,000 contribution the Company received from its OdorStar joint venture partner.

Net cash provided by financing activities was approximately $2,376,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to approximately $1,883,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, cash was provided through the Company’s borrowing of $3,400,000 under its revolving line of credit and $2,430,000 under the Company’s new term loan, described below, partially offset by payments of $3,461,000, including payment of its entire outstanding lease obligation used to fund debt service on  two series of industrial revenue bonds that were issued to finance expansion of Kinpak’s facilities and acquisition of related equipment, and payment of a related party note.

On July 6, 2011, the Company and Kinpak entered into a Credit Agreement with Regions Bank (and, pursuant to an Equipment Finance Addendum to the Credit Agreement, Regions Equipment Finance Corporation (“REFCO”)) under which (a) the Company’s revolving line of credit with Regions Bank was renewed, and (b) REFCO provided to the Company a term loan in the amount of $2,430,000, the proceeds of which were used to pay the Kinpak’s remaining lease obligations in connection with the 2002 Series of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds issued by the City of Montgomery, Alabama to fund the expansion of Kinpak’s facilities and acquisition of related equipment.

Under the extended revolving line of credit, the Company may borrow up to the lesser of (i) $6 million and (ii) a borrowing base equal to 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory.  Interest on the revolving line of credit is payable at the 30 day LIBOR rate plus 1.74% per annum (unless the Company’s debt service coverage ratio falls below 2.0 to 1, in which case the additional percentage will be 2.75% per annum).  In no event will the interest rate be less than 2.0% per annum.  Outstanding amounts under the revolving line of credit are payable on demand.  If no demand is made, the Company may repay and reborrow funds from time to time.  Interest on amounts borrowed under the revolving line of credit is payable in monthly installments on outstanding average balances, with all outstanding principal and interest payable on July 6, 2014.

Under the new term loan, the Company will pay the $2,430,000 principal, together with interest, at the fixed rate of 3.54% per annum, in 72 consecutive monthly payments of $37,510.61 over the six year period beginning on August 6, 2011, with the final payment on July 6, 2017.  In the event the Company’s debt service coverage ratio falls below 2.0 to 1, interest on the term loan will increase by 1.01% per annum. At September 30, 2011, the Company was in compliance with these covenants

The Credit Agreement defines “debt service coverage ratio“ as meaning net profit plus interest, depreciation, amortization and rent expense divided by debt service plus interest and lease/rent expense.  The Credit Agreement contains various covenants, including financial covenants requiring a minimum debt coverage ratio of 1.75 to 1.00, tested on a rolling four-quarter basis, and a maximum debt to capitalization ratio (funded debt divided by the sum of total net worth and funded debt) of 0.75 to 1, tested quarterly.

The Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by the Company’s accounts receivable and inventory, as well as real property and equipment at the Kinpak’s Montgomery, Alabama facility.

In addition to the revolving line of credit and term loan, the Company has obtained financing through capital leases for both manufacturing and office equipment, totaling approximately $70,305 and $93,112 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

The Company sells its products in the Canadian market and is subject to currency fluctuations relating to the Canadian dollar.  The Company does not engage in currency hedging and addresses currency risk as a pricing issue.  In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded $212 in foreign currency translation adjustments (increasing shareholders’ equity by $212) as a result of the strengthening of the Canadian dollar in relation to the US dollar.

During the past few years, the Company has introduced various new products to its customers.  At times, new product introductions have required the Company to increase its overall inventory and have resulted in lower inventory turnover rates.  The effects of reduced inventory turnover have not been material to the Company’s overall operations.  The Company believes that it can continue to provide, through its operations and financing arrangements, all required capital to support increased inventory levels.

Many of the raw materials that the Company uses in the manufacturing process are petroleum or chemical based and commodity chemicals that are subject to fluctuating prices.  The nature of the Company’s business does not enable it to pass through the price increases to its national retailers and distributors as promptly as it experiences increases in raw material costs.  This may, at times, adversely affect the Company’s margins.

At September 30, 2011 and through the date of this report, the Company did not and does not have any material commitments for capital expenditures or inventories, nor does it have any other present commitment that is likely to result in the Company’s liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way.

The Company believes that funds provided through operations and its existing sources of financing will be sufficient to satisfy its cash requirements over at least the next twelve months
