COLONIAL COMMERCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2007

(Unaudited)

1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Colonial Commercial Corp. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") included herein have been prepared by the Company and are unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods to which the report relates.  The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2007 is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be achieved for the full year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2006.

We have one industry segment – wholesale distribution of heating, ventilation, air conditioning equipment, plumbing fixtures and appliances.

Inventory is comprised of finished goods.

2.
Stock Options

The Company uses the modified prospective application method of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This standard requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award.

On September 29, 2006, the Company adopted the Colonial Commercial Corp. 2006 Stock Plan, (the “2006 Plan”).  The 2006 Plan enables the Company to grant equity and equity-linked awards to our Directors, officers, employees and other persons who provide services to the Company.  The 2006 Plan is intended to allow us to provide incentives that will (1) strengthen the desire of highly competent persons to provide services to us and (2) further stimulate their efforts on our behalf.


On January 22, 2007, a Director of the Company resigned.  Of the 25,000 options granted to the director, 15,000 unvested options were forfeited immediately and the remaining 10,000 vested options were forfeited on March 23, 2007 pursuant to the terms of the grant letter.

The following table summarizes information about stock options at March 31, 2007:

3.
Equity Transactions

During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, no shares of redeemable preferred stock were converted into common stock.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, holders of a total 9,155 shares of redeemable preferred stock converted these shares into 9,155 shares of common stock.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2007, the Company issued 52,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Employee stock options totaling 97,000 and 106,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were not included in the net loss per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.  Convertible preferred stock, convertible into 467,500 shares of common stock and 475,566 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, were not included in the net loss per share because their effects would have been anti-dilutive.  Convertible notes, in the principal amount of $525,000, convertible into 175,000 shares of common stock were not included in the net loss per share calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

6.
Financing Arrangements

At March 31, 2007, the amount outstanding under the Company’s credit facility with Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. (“Wells”) was $13,275,383, and the Company had standby letters of credit, which were set to expire on July 31, 2007 and September 1, 2007.  The standby letters of credit reduced the availability of the credit facility by $300,000 and $100,000, respectively, and additional reserves determined by the bank further reduced the availability of the credit facility by $100,000.  On April 25, 2007, the Company’s $100,000 standby letter of credit, due to expire on September 1, 2007, was no longer required by the vendor and was released by Wells Fargo at the request of the vendor.  Availability under the revolving credit line was $484,165 as of March 31, 2007 and is determined by a percentage of available assets as defined in the Agreement, less letters of credit and reserves.  The interest rate on the revolving credit facility, as of March 31, 2007 was 8.0%.

The facility contains covenants relating to the financial condition of the Company, its business operations, and restricts the payment of dividends, subordinated debt, purchase of securities and capital expenditures.

7.
Litigation

Universal Supply Group, Inc.

Universal Supply Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a New York corporation (“Universal”).  On June 25, 1999, Universal acquired substantially all of the assets of Universal Supply Group, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, including its name, pursuant to the terms of a purchase agreement.  The Company filed a copy of the purchase agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 1999 as Exhibit 10(g) on Form 10KSB, and the Company filed a copy of an amendment to the purchase agreement on July 9, 1999 as Exhibit 10(a)(ii) on Form 8-K.  Subsequent to the sale, Universal Supply Group, Inc. (the selling corporation) formerly known as Universal Engineering Co., Inc., changed its name to Hilco, Inc.  Hilco, Inc. acquired the assets of Amber Supply Co., Inc., formerly known as Amber Oil Burner Supply Co., Inc., in 1998, prior to Hilco’s sale of assets to Universal.  Hilco, Inc. is hereinafter referred to as the “Predecessor.”  The majority shareholders of Hilco, Inc. were John A. Hildebrandt and Paul Hildebrandt.


The Company understands that Predecessor and many other companies have been sued in the Superior Court of New Jersey (Middlesex County) by plaintiffs filing lawsuits alleging injury due to asbestos. Currently, there exist 101 plaintiffs in these lawsuits relating to alleged sales of asbestos products, or products containing asbestos, by the Predecessor. The Company never sold any asbestos related products.

Of the existing plaintiffs, 11 filed actions in 2007, seven filed actions in 2006, 15 filed actions in 2005, 42 filed actions in 2004, 23 filed actions in 2003, and three filed actions in 2002. There are 110 other plaintiffs that have had their actions dismissed and nine other plaintiffs that have settled as of March 31, 2007 for a total of $3,325,500. There has been no judgment against the Predecessor.

Our Universal subsidiary was named by 35 plaintiffs; of these, two filed actions in 1999, one filed an action in 2000, five filed actions in 2001, eleven filed actions in 2005, six filed actions in 2006 and 10 filed actions in 2007. Six plaintiffs naming Universal have had their actions dismissed and, of the total $3,325,500 of settled actions, two plaintiffs naming Universal have settled for $26,500.  No money was paid by Universal in connection with any settlement.  Following these dismissed and settled actions, there currently exist 27 plaintiffs that name Universal.

As set forth in more detail below, the Company has been indemnified against asbestos-based claims, and insurance companies are defending the interests of the Predecessor and the Company in these cases.

Based on advice of counsel, the Company believes that none of the litigation that was brought against the Company’s Universal subsidiary through March 31, 2007 is material, and that the only material litigation that was brought against Predecessor through that date was Rhodes v. A.O. Smith Corporation, filed on April 26, 2004 in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Middlesex County, Docket Number MID-L-2979-04AS. The Company was advised that the Rhodes case was settled for $3,250,000 (“Settlement”) under an agreement reached in connection with a $10,000,000 jury verdict that was rendered on August 5, 2005. The Company was not a defendant in the Rhodes case.

On April 29, 2005, prior to the Rhodes case trial, the Predecessor filed a third party complaint against Sid Harvey Industries (“Third Party Complaint”) in an action demanding contributor payment in connection with the Settlement. Sid Harvey Industries moved successfully for summary judgment.  The Predecessor filed an appeal as to the dismissal of Predecessor’s Third Party Complaint.  In a decision dated December 29, 2006, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, reversed the dismissal of Predecessor’s Third Party Complaint and remanded the matter for further proceedings as to Predecessor’s claim for contribution.

The Company believes that Rhodes differed from the other lawsuits in that plaintiff established that he contracted mesothelioma as a result of his occupational exposure to asbestos dust and fibers and that a predecessor of the Company was a major supplier of the asbestos containing products that allegedly caused his disease.


Indemnification

John A. Hildebrandt, Paul Hildebrandt and the Predecessor have jointly and severally agreed to indemnify our Universal subsidiary from and against any and all damages, liabilities and claims due to exposure to asbestos at any time prior to the June 25, 1999 closing of the purchase agreement referred to earlier.  These agreements are set forth in the purchase agreement. Paul Hildebrandt, one of the indemnitors, was a Director of the Company from September 29, 2004 to January 28, 2005.

The indemnitors may use their own counsel to defend these claims. The indemnitors are not liable for any settlement effected without their consent. The indemnitors may settle and pay money claims without the consent of the Company. There is no indemnification unless claims aggregate $50,000; once this trigger point is reached, indemnification is required for all claims, including the first $50,000, but excluding claims of less than $10,000. The indemnification requirement survives at least until 30 days after the running of any relevant statutes of limitation.

The obligation of the indemnitors is joint and several, so that the Company can have recourse against any one or more of these indemnitors, whether or not any other indemnitor has previously defaulted on its obligation to us. There are no other limitations to our rights to indemnification.

Insurance

The assets that the Predecessor sold to us included its insurance policies and other agreements and contracts. The policies provide coverage for liability accruing during the periods for which premiums were paid.  The Predecessor was formed in 1940. Copies of policies are available for each year beginning in 1970 and ending with the closing under the purchase agreement in 1999. Copies of policies for the period from 1940 to 1969 are not available.

Insurance companies acknowledge coverage for potential asbestos claims under certain of these policies.  Insurance companies under additional policies have reserved their right to deny coverage but have continued to defend and indemnify the Predecessor and the Company under the contested policies.

There are periods during the years from 1940 to 1999 in which our Predecessor did not have coverage for potential asbestos claims.  Subject to litigation, insurance companies may maintain that the existence of these periods’ results in coverage for only a portion of a particular injury that varies with the period during which there was asbestos coverage relating to the injury, and that the balance of any settlement or judgment is to be paid by the insured.  As of March 31, 2007, no insurance company has claimed any contribution for a gap in coverage except for a claim for $159.64 made by one insurance company to the Predecessor in 1995.  The Predecessor asserted that it had no obligation to pay this amount and did not make any payment.

Insurance companies have, as of March 31, 2007, defended us and the Predecessor, and have paid all settlement amounts and defense costs.  Except for $159.64 referred to above, the insurance companies have not requested any payments from us or from the Predecessor.

Our Universal subsidiary has not engaged in the sale of asbestos products since its formation in 1997. Its product liability policies for all years since 1998 exclude asbestos claims.


General

Regardless of indemnification and insurance coverage, we do not in any event consider our Company to be liable for the asbestos-based lawsuits that name us or for any other claim that arises as a result of actions or omissions by Predecessor companies. We expressly disclaimed the assumption of any liabilities when we purchased the assets of the Predecessor. It is our opinion that the existing asbestos litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.  Nevertheless, we could be materially and adversely affected if we are held liable for substantial asbestos claims or if the Company incurs substantial legal or settlement costs. This material and adverse effect would occur if indemnitors fail to honor their indemnification agreements and insurance is not available either because policy limits are exceeded, or because insurance companies successfully claim limitations on their liabilities by reason of gaps in coverage or otherwise.

Since we do not regard as likely the potential payment of any asbestos-based claim, we have not accrued any balance for any period relating to asbestos claims, and we have not recorded any amount for asbestos claims for any period in any of our financial statements.

Other Litigation

The Company is periodically involved in other litigation in the ordinary course of business.  The Company vigorously defends all matters in which the Company or its subsidiaries are named defendants and, for insurable losses, maintains significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments.  Although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage or the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe the ultimate liability associated with any claims or litigation will have a material impact to its financial condition or results of operations.

8.
New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation FASB No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which prescribes accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions.  This interpretation defines the criteria that must be met for the benefits of a tax position to be recognized in the financial statements and the measurement of tax benefits recognized.  The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning of the Company’s 2007 fiscal year, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings.


The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007.  Under FIN 48, tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods.  The adoption of FIN 48 had an immaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and did not result in unrecognized tax benefits being recorded.  Accordingly, no corresponding interest and penalties have been accrued.  The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. There are currently no federal or state income tax examinations underway for these jurisdictions.  The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by the Internal Revenue Service and state and local tax authorities for tax years before 2002.  The Company does, however, have prior year net operating losses which remain open for examination.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 157”).  This Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB No. 108”), “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements.”  SAB No. 108 specifies how the carryover or reversal of prior year unrecorded financial statements misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement.  SAB No. 108 requires a dual approach that considers both the amount by which the current year Consolidated Statement of Operations is misstated (“rollover method”) and an approach that considers the cumulative amount by which the current year Consolidated Balance Sheet is misstated (“iron curtain method”).  Prior to the issuance of SAB No. 108, either the rollover or iron curtain method was used to assess financial statement misstatements.  Prior to the Company’s application of the guidance in SAB No. 108, management used the rollover approach for quantifying financial statement misstatements.

Initial application of SAB No. 108 allows registrants to elect not to restate prior periods but to reflect the initial application in their annual financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006.  The cumulative effect of the initial application should be reported in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as of the beginning of that fiscal year and the offsetting adjustment, net of tax, should be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that year.  We elected to record the effects of applying SAB No. 108 using the cumulative effect transition method.  Consistent with the requirements of SAB No. 108, this adjustment has been allocated to the appropriate 2006 quarter in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The adjustment, pursuant to SAB No. 108, to the previously filed Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 included an increase in gross profit of $98,560 from $4,586,797 to a restated gross profit of $4,685,327, which resulted in a net loss adjustment from $423,089 to a restated net loss of $324,529 and a loss per common share adjustment from $0.09 to a restated loss per common share of $0.07.  The adjustment reduced the carrying value of inventory at March 31, 2006 by $220,961.

 
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, (“FASB 159”).  This standard permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.  The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently with having to apply complex accounting provisions.  The adoption of SFAS 159 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

On April 25, 2007, the Company’s standby letter of credit that reduced the availability of the credit facility by $100,000 and was due to expire on September 1, 2007, was no longer required by the vendor and was released by Wells Fargo at the request of the vendor.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The Company

Colonial Commercial Corp. (“Colonial”) is a New York corporation, which was incorporated on October 28, 1964. Unless otherwise indicated, the term “Company” refers to Colonial Commercial Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company’s operations are conducted through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Universal Supply Group, Inc. (“Universal”), The RAL Supply Group, Inc. (“RAL”) and American/Universal Supply, Inc. (“American”).

Forward-Looking Statements

This report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance and business prospects.  When used in this report, the words, “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “may,” “intends,” and similar expressions are intended to be among the statements that identify forward-looking statements.   From time to time, the Company may also publish forward-looking statements.  The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the consummation of certain events referred to in this report, technological changes, competitive factors, maintaining customer and vendor relationships, inventory obsolescence and availability, and other risks detailed in the Company's periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which could cause the Company's actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements.


Critical Accounting Policies

The accounting policies below are critical to the Company’s business operations and the understanding of results of operations.  The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of asset and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

In addition, we are periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within our control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time.

We believe the following to be critical accounting policies that affect the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue for the Company primarily consists of sales of heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, climate control systems, plumbing fixtures and supplies and appliances. The Company recognizes revenue after shipment of products has occurred in accordance with the shipping terms.  There are no further obligations on the part of the Company subsequent to revenue recognition, except for returns of defective products from the Company’s customers, which are covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.  The Company will receive a vendor credit from the manufacturer related to the warranted product in question, at which time credits are issued to the customer.  The Company does not provide a warranty on products sold; rather the warranty is provided by the manufacturer.


Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables recorded at original invoice amount, less an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus trade receivables generally do not bear interest. However, a service charge may be applied to receivables that are past due. These service charges are not recognized until collected, and are then included in other income.  Trade receivables are periodically evaluated for collectibility based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectibility of trade receivables are recorded in the results of operations for the period in which the estimate is revised. Trade receivables that are deemed uncollectible are offset against the allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables.

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company establishes and monitors the allowance for doubtful accounts based on the credit risk of specific customers, customer concentrations, historical trends and other information.  Although the Company believes its allowance is sufficient, if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and consists solely of finished goods. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.

Distribution costs of incoming freight, purchasing, receiving, inspection, warehousing and handling costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.  Such costs were $124,515 and $103,939 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company writes down its inventories for estimated slow moving and obsolete goods in accordance with the lower of cost or market value, based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. A significant sudden increase in the demand for the Company’s products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of inventory purchases, while a significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory quantities on-hand. Additionally, the Company’s estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case the Company may have understated or overstated the write-down required for excess and obsolete inventory.

Vendor Rebates

The Company has arrangements with several vendors that provide rebates payable when the Company achieves any of a number of measures, generally related to volume level of purchases.  The Company accounts for such rebates as a reduction of inventory until sale of the product, at which time such rebates are reflected as a reduction of cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income.  Throughout the year, the Company estimates the amount of rebate based on estimates of purchases to date relative to the purchase levels that mark the progress toward earning the rebate.  The Company continually revises these estimates of earned vendor rebates based on actual purchase levels.


Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is calculated on the straight line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

Computer hardware and software
3-5 years
   
Furniture and fixtures
5 years
   
Automobiles
3-5 years
   
Showroom fixtures and displays
3 years

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

Income Taxes

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation FASB No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which prescribes accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions.  This interpretation defines the criteria that must be met for the benefits of a tax position to be recognized in the financial statements and the measurement of tax benefits recognized.  The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning of the Company’s 2007 fiscal year, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007.  Under FIN 48, tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods.  The adoption of FIN 48 had an immaterial impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and did not result in unrecognized tax benefits being recorded.  Accordingly, no corresponding interest and penalties have been accrued.  The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. There are currently no federal or state income tax examinations underway for these jurisdictions.  The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by the Internal Revenue Service and state and local tax authorities for tax years before 2002.  The Company does, however, have prior year net operating losses which remain open for examination.


Deferred Income Tax Asset

The Company has accounted for, and currently accounts for, income taxes in accordance with Statement 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.”  This statement establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes that result from an enterprise’s activities during the current and preceding years.  It requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes.  The realization of future tax benefits of deductible temporary differences and operating loss or tax credit carryforwards will depend on whether the Company will have sufficient taxable income of an appropriate character within the carryback and carryforward period permitted by the tax law to allow for utilization of the deductible amounts and carryforwards. Without sufficient taxable income to offset the deductible amounts and carryforwards, the related tax benefits will expire unused. The Company evaluates both positive and negative evidence in making a determination as to whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," requires that goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment.  In assessing the recoverability of the Company’s goodwill, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities of the reporting unit.  Upon adoption and again as a result of the Company’s annual impairment test, there was no indication of impairment for goodwill acquired in prior business combinations.  If the Company’s estimates or its related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges related to its goodwill.

Results of Operations For the Quarter Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006

Sales increased by 7.8%, or $1,158,018, to $16,042,232 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $14,884,214 for the same period in 2006.  The increase in sales is primarily a result of sales of appliances in 2007 that the Company was not offering until September 2006 and increases in our commercial air conditioning equipment sales.  These increases were partially offset by a continued slowness in our control systems business and softness in sales of our showroom plumbing fixtures.

Gross profit increased by 4.0%, or $186,175, to $4,871,502 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $4,685,327 for the same period in 2006.  Gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales decreased by 1.1% to 30.4% in 2007 compared to 31.5% for the comparable period in 2006.  The decrease in the percentage of gross profit is primarily the result of a change in product mix, for example, selling more low-margin high volume products, including appliances, without a corresponding increase in sales of higher-margin products such as control systems, showroom plumbing and fixture sales.  Cost of sales excludes the distribution costs of incoming freight, purchasing, receiving, inspection, warehousing and handling costs, as these costs are included in our selling, general and administrative expenses.  Our gross margins may not be comparable to those of other entities since some entities include these distribution costs in the cost of sales.  These distribution costs were $124,515 and $103,939 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 
Selling, general and administrative expense increased by 4.9%, or $231,744, to $4,988,606 from $4,756,862 for the same period in 2006.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expense is primarily due to staffing, marketing and advertising expenses related to the sales of appliances in 2007 that the Company was not offering until September 2006.

Interest expense, net increased by 11.5%, or $34,380, to $334,042 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $299,662 for the same period in 2006.  The interest expense increase is primarily the result of increasing interest rates and increased borrowings under the credit line related to inventory to support sales of appliances and new product offerings.  The revolving credit line bears interest at .25% below prime rate, which was 8.25% at March 31, 2007 compared to 7.75% at March 31, 2006.

Pre-tax loss increased by 26.6%, or $81,140, to $386,548 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $305,408 for the same period in 2006.  The difference in the pre-tax loss figures between the first quarter of 2007 and 2006 was mostly related to increased sales and related gross profit of appliances and commercial air conditioning equipment offset by a general weakness in our control systems business and slower sales from our plumbing showrooms, as well as increases in selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expense, as discussed above.  The Company’s net loss increased by 20.2%, or $65,411, to $389,940 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 from $324,529 for the same period in 2006.

The following table summarizes information derived from the Company’s consolidated statements of income expressed as a percentage of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has a total secured loan facility of $15,000,000 pursuant to a credit and security agreement (“Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. (“Wells”) consisting of a revolving line of credit which expires August 1, 2010.  The revolving credit line bears interest at .25% below prime.  At March 31, 2007, the Company had standby letters of credit, which were set to expire on July 31, 2007 and September 1, 2007.  The standby letters of credit reduced the availability of the credit facility by $300,000 and $100,000, respectively, and additional reserves determined by the bank further reduced the availability of the credit facility by $100,000.  On April 25, 2007, the Company’s $100,000 standby letter of credit, due to expire on September 1, 2007, was no longer required by the vendor and was released by Wells Fargo at the request of the vendor.  Availability under the revolving credit line was $484,165 as of March 31, 2007 and is determined by a percentage of available assets as defined in the Agreement, less letters of credit and reserves.  The balance outstanding under the revolving line of credit was $13,275,383 as of March 31, 2007.  The interest rate on the revolving credit facility, as of March 31, 2007 was 8.0%.

The Company believes that the credit facility is sufficient to finance its current operating needs.  However, the business of the Company would be materially and adversely affected if the bank demands payment of the loan and the Company is unable to refinance the loan.

As of March 31, 2007, the Company had $600,386 in cash compared with $482,251 at December 31, 2006.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $524,923 for the quarter ended March 31, 2007.  The net cash provided by operating activities for the 2007 period is primarily a result of cash provided by operating assets and liabilities of $773,710 and non-cash charges of $141,153, offset by a net loss of $389,940.  The decrease in accounts receivable approximating $613,355 was primarily a result of the cyclical decrease in sales during the first quarter.  Accounts payable increased due to additional inventory purchases in preparation for the increased demand of sales of air conditioning products for the second quarter of 2007.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $60,373 during the quarter ended March 31, 2007 due to purchases of equipment.

Cash flows used in financing activities of $346,415 consisted of $340,313 for repayments under the credit facility-revolving credit and $19,102 for repayments on notes payable.  Cash flows provided by financing activities consisted of $13,000 received from the exercise of stock options.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk represents the risk of changes in value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices.  The Company has no financial instruments that give it exposure to foreign exchange rates or equity prices.


The Company’s pre-tax earnings and cash flows are exposed to changes in interest rates.  All borrowings under its credit facility bear interest based on the prime rate less .25% and a $750,000 note to Goldman Associates of NY, Inc. which bears interest at prime.  A hypothetical 10% adverse change in such rates would reduce the pre-tax earnings and cash flows by approximately $112,000 over a one-year period, assuming the borrowing level remains consistent with the outstanding borrowings as of March 31, 2007.  The fair value of the borrowings under the credit facility is not affected by changes in market interest rates.

The Company’s remaining interest-bearing obligations are at fixed rates of interest and as such, do not expose the pre-tax earnings and cash flows to changes in market interest rates.  The change in fair value of the Company’s fixed rate obligations resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in interest rates would not be material.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 
a.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation had been carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2007 (“Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer had concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the disclosure controls and procedures were reasonably designed and effective to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and (ii) such information was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
In conjunction with the preparation of this Form 10-Q of the Company, and following consultation with, and upon recommendation of the Company’s management and Audit Committee, the Board of Directors of the Company determined that certain vendor rebates should be an adjustment to the cost of the vendors’ product and included as a reduction of cost of sales when recognized in the income statement.  Previously, some vendor rebates were recognized as income, not as a reduction of costs when sold.  Accordingly, the Company has now concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures in connection with the interpretation of accounting pronouncements were not effective as of March 31, 2007.  In connection with the review of its accounting for vendor rebates, the Company’s management obtained the necessary understanding of the accounting and reporting for such transactions.  The Company also decided to augment its finance and accounting staff by retaining an experienced independent consultant who will enhance the Company’s financial accounting and reporting capabilities.

 
b.
Changes in Internal Controls

Other than described above, there have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to March 31, 2007.
