COLONIAL COMMERCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2009
(Unaudited)

1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices and Basis of Presentation

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 September 30, 2009 is not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be achieved for the full year.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.  The Company has incurred a net loss of $200,620 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, a net loss of $2,186,099 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, and a net loss of $1,008,140 for the year ended December 31, 2008.  The Company’s credit facility provides that financial covenants are to be determined on an annual basis by agreement between the Company and its lender. The Company and its lender have agreed on financial covenants for the period through December 31, 2009. The Company was in default of its quarterly net income, quarterly cash flow and quarterly tangible net worth covenants for the quarter ended September 30, 2009.  Pursuant to a Third Amendment to the Credit and Security Agreement dated November 12, 2009, the lender has waived this event of default for a fee of $60,000. The Third Amendment also amended the Credit and Security Agreement to provide that effective October 1, 2009 the interest rate has been increased to prime plus 1.25% and to terminate the Company’s option to convert the interest rate on up to 75% of the credit facility’s outstanding balance to 2½% over LIBOR.

The continuation of the credit agreement is conditioned on the Company and the lender reaching agreement on financial covenants and the Company achieving those covenants in the future.  While the Company and the lender have reached mutually agreeable covenants in the past, there can be no assurance that they will be able to do so in the future.  If these agreements are not reached, or the Company fails to achieve the agreed upon covenants, the lender may exercise its rights under the credit agreement which may include terminating the credit agreement and demanding repayment of the Company’s outstanding borrowings.  This condition indicates that the Company may be unable to continue as a going concern.  In response to such an event, the Company would pursue alternative financing arrangements but there can be no assurance that such financing may be available on acceptable terms, or at all. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary as a result of the outcome of such uncertainty.

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 as permitted by the interim reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

We have only one operating segment.

Inventory is comprised of finished goods.

Stock Options

The Company recognizes equity based compensation expense in accordance with standards that require 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.

The following table summarizes information about stock options at September 30, 2009:

There were no stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.  For each of the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the amount of stock based compensation was $6,676. For each of the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the amount of stock based compensation was $20,029.

Equity Transactions

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009 no shares of convertible preferred stock were converted into common stock.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2008 no shares of convertible preferred stock were converted into common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 17,423 shares of convertible preferred stock were converted into common stock, which includes 998 shares converted by William Pagano, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

No stock options were exercised during the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

On August 20, 2009, the Company offered to purchase any and all shares of its convertible preferred stock at $1.25 per share. The purpose of this tender offer was to reduce the number of holders of record of convertible preferred stock in order to permit the Company to deregister the convertible preferred stock along with the common stock. Deregistration would result in the Company no longer being a Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") reporting company. The Company continues currently as an SEC reporting company because there are currently more than 300 holders of record of convertible preferred stock.

Through September 30, 2009, the Company accrued $161,261 for 129,009 shares of convertible preferred stock received as of September 30, 2009 to be tendered. The Company accounted for these transactions utilizing the constructive retirement method. Subsequent to September 30, 2009, the Company received an additional 25,825 shares of convertible preferred stock to be tendered.

5


The tender offer was to expire on September 22, 2009; however, on September 23, 2009 the Company extended the expiration date of the tender offer to October 6, 2009 and on October 7, 2009 the Company again extended the expiration date of the tender offer to October 20, 2009.  The Company retired the convertible preferred stock purchased through this tender offer.

Basic income (loss) per share reflects the amount of (loss) earnings for the period attributable to common shareholders and holders of participating securities and is based upon the weighted average number of common shares and participating securities outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflects, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock and is computed using the treasury stock method and if-converted method, where applicable.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, preferred stock convertible into 446,489 shares of common stock and notes convertible into 66,666 shares of common stock were not included in the basic and diluted net loss per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2008, the weighted average shares outstanding used for purposes of the basic net income per share calculation include the effect of the convertible preferred stock. Notes convertible into 112,499 shares of common stock are not assumed to be converted for purposes of computing diluted net income per share since the effect would be antidilutive.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, preferred stock convertible into 447,424 shares of common stock, notes convertible into 92,185 shares of common stock, and 2,581 stock options were not included in the basic and diluted net loss per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, preferred stock convertible into 457,417 shares of common stock, notes convertible into 138,042 shares of common stock, and 17,065 stock options were not included in the basic and diluted net loss per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

6.
Financing Arrangements

The Company has a secured credit facility (“Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells”) in the amount of $25 million which expires August 1, 2012.  The $25 million credit facility includes a $1 million structural sublimit, as defined in the Agreement, payable in 24 equal monthly installments, and up to $500,000 of seasonal over-advances.  Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company, as defined in the Agreement.

Availability under the credit facility was $250,370 as of September 30, 2009 and is determined by a percentage of available assets as defined in the Agreement, less reserves.

The interest rate on the credit facility during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was prime minus 0.25%, or 3.0%. Pursuant to a Third Amendment to the Credit and Security Agreement, dated November 12, 2009 (“Third Amendment”), effective October 1, 2009 the interest rate has been increased to prime plus 1.25% and the Company’s option to convert the interest rate on up to 75% of the credit facility’s outstanding balance to 2½% over LIBOR has been terminated. A copy of the Third Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.04.

Reserves, determined by the bank, reduce the availability of the credit facility by $171,000.  The balance outstanding under the credit facility was $15,155,625 as of September 30, 2009.

The Company anticipates that liquidity will decline during the first several months in 2010 because of seasonal business downturns, particularly if recessionary forces do not abate.  The business of the Company will be materially and adversely affected if the bank substantially reduces the amount of the credit availability under the terms of the loan or the bank demands payment of the loan and the Company is unable to refinance the loan, or if liquidity is otherwise substantially reduced.  In the event that Mr. Pagano no longer performs the duties of the President of Universal or the Vice President of RAL for any reason other than death or disability, the Company will be considered in default of its credit agreement with Wells unless a waiver is obtained.  The credit facility contains covenants that are determined annually and relate to the Company’s quarterly net income, quarterly cash flows, quarterly tangible net worth, and annual capital expenditures.  The credit facility also restricts the payment of dividends, subordinated debt and purchase of securities.  The continuation of the credit facility is conditioned upon the Company and Wells reaching agreement on the covenants.  While the Company and Wells have reached mutually agreeable covenants in the past, there is no assurance that they will be able to do so in the future. As of September 30, 2009, the Company was in default of its quarterly net income, quarterly cash flow and quarterly tangible net worth covenants.  Pursuant to the Third Amendment, (i) the lender has waived this event of default for a fee of $60,000; (ii) the interest rate has been increased to prime plus 1.25% effective October 1, 2009; and (iii) the Company’s option to convert the interest rate on up to 75% of the credit facility’s outstanding balance to 2½% over LIBOR has been terminated.

7.
Other Intangible Assets

The Company assesses the realizability of long-lived assets, including intangible assets, and evaluates such assets for impairment annually, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets (or group of assets) may not be recoverable.  Impairment is determined to exist if the estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the asset’s carrying value.  Future cash flow projections include assumptions regarding future sales levels, the impact of cost reduction programs, and the level of working capital needed to support each business. The Company relies on data developed by management as well as macroeconomic data in making these calculations. There are no assurances that future cash flow assumptions will be achieved.  The amount of any impairment then recognized would be calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of the asset.

As a result of an assessment of S&A’s business condition at the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a non-cash charge in the amount of $309,900 which reflects the impairment of S&A’s client list and trade name estimated net book value. The Company assessed S&A’s covenant not to compete and concluded that there was no impairment and the net carrying amount as of September 30, 2009 was $3,333.

The Company has an intangible asset that is subject to amortization.  Intangible assets are included in “Other intangibles” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Litigation

a.
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 “Universal Predecessor.”  The majority shareholders of Hilco, Inc. were John A. Hildebrandt and Paul Hildebrandt.

The Company understands that the Universal 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. As of September 30, 2009, there existed 15 plaintiffs in these lawsuits relating to alleged sales of asbestos products, or products containing asbestos, by the Universal Predecessor.  Subsequent to September 30, 2009, 4 plaintiffs have had their actions dismissed, 1 plaintiff has had its action settled and 1 plaintiff filed an action against the Universal Predecessor, which results in 11 remaining plaintiffs in these lawsuits.  The Company never sold any asbestos related products.

Of the existing plaintiffs as of September 30, 2009, 1 filed an action in 2009, 8 filed actions in 2007, 2 filed actions in 2006, 1 filed an action in 2005, 2 filed actions in 2004, and 1 filed an action in 2003. There are 195 other plaintiffs that have had their actions dismissed and 14 other plaintiffs that have settled as of September 30, 2009 for a total of $3,359,500. There has been no judgment against the Universal Predecessor.

In the past, our Universal subsidiary was named by 36 plaintiffs; of these, 11 filed actions in 2007, 6 filed actions in 2006, 11 filed actions in 2005, 5 filed actions in 2001, 1 filed an action in 2000, and 2 filed actions in 1999.  Twenty-six plaintiffs naming Universal have had their actions dismissed and, of the total $3,359,500 of settled actions, 2 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 exist 8 plaintiffs that name Universal as of September 30, 2009.

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 Universal 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 September 30, 2009 is material, and that the only material litigation that was brought against the Universal 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.

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.

i.
Indemnification

John A. Hildebrandt, Paul Hildebrandt and the Universal 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.  The Company cannot be certain that the indemnitors have the financial wherewithal to meet their obligations to indemnify the Company.

 
ii.
Insurance

The assets that the Universal 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 Universal 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 Universal Predecessor and the Company under the contested policies.

There are periods during the years from 1940 to 1999 in which our Universal 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 September 30, 2009, no insurance company has claimed any contribution for a gap in coverage except for a claim for $160 made by one insurance company to the Universal Predecessor in 1995.  The Universal Predecessor asserted that it had no obligation to pay this amount and did not make any payment.

Insurance companies have, as of September 30, 2009, defended us and the Universal Predecessor, and have paid all settlement amounts and defense costs.  Except for $160 referred to above, the insurance companies have not requested any payments from us or from the Universal 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.

10


b.
The RAL Supply Group, Inc.

The RAL Supply Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a New York corporation (“RAL”), formerly known as RAL Purchasing Corp.  On September 30, 2003, RAL acquired substantially all of the assets of The RAL Supply Group, Inc., formerly known as The LAR Acquisition Corp., also a New York corporation, including its name, pursuant to the terms of a purchase agreement.  The Company filed a copy of the purchase agreement (“RAL APA”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2003 as Exhibit 10(a)(i) on Form 8-K.  Subsequent to the sale, The RAL Supply Group, Inc. (the selling corporation) changed its name to RSG, Inc. RSG, Inc. is hereinafter referred to as the “RAL Predecessor.”

The RAL Predecessor acquired certain assets from Dyson-Kissner-Moran Corporation (“RSG Predecessor”) in 1993, prior to the RAL Predecessor’s sale of assets to RAL.

Our RAL subsidiary and other companies had been sued in the Supreme Court of New York (Orange County) by a plaintiff filing a lawsuit on or about July 30, 2008 alleging injury due to asbestos.

The RAL Predecessor agreed in the RAL APA to indemnify and hold harmless our RAL subsidiary from and against, among other things, damages that relate to products sold or manufactured or services performed or other actions taken or omitted by the RAL Predecessor prior to the closing of the acquisition.  The Company cannot be certain that the indemnitor has the financial wherewithal to meet its obligations to indemnify the Company.

As of September 30, 2009, this plaintiff had its action dismissed.  The lawsuit alleged injury due to asbestos during the 1970’s, prior to RAL Predecessor’s acquisition of assets from the RSG Predecessor and RAL’s acquisition of assets from the RAL Predecessor. The Company never sold any asbestos related products.

c.
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 the Universal Predecessor or RAL Predecessor companies. We expressly disclaimed the assumption of any liabilities when we purchased the assets of the Universal Predecessor and RAL 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 deny coverage or claim limitations on their liabilities by reason of gaps in coverage or otherwise.

Since we regard as remote 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.

11


d.
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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. However, in February 2008, the FASB delayed the effective date of the new accounting guidance for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until January 1, 2009. The adoption of this new accounting guidance for our nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

In December 2007, the FASB amended its guidance on accounting for business combinations. This standard requires that entities recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies and contingent consideration measured at their fair value at the acquisition date for any business combination consummated after the effective date.  It further requires that acquisition-related costs are to be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be applied prospectively for acquisitions beginning in 2009 and thereafter.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries.  This guidance requires that the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, in the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest on the face of the consolidated statement of income, and that entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and cannot be applied earlier.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

In April 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the determination of the useful life of intangible assets. This guidance amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The intent of this guidance is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset. This guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2009 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting and disclosure guidance related to interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments. This guidance requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements and requires those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This guidance was adopted as of June 1, 2009, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

12


In May 2009, the FASB issued new accounting and disclosure guidance for the disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. This guidance requires the Company to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the balance sheet date, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements. This guidance became effective for the Company as of June 30, 2009. The Company has provided the required disclosures regarding subsequent events in Note 13.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance establishing a new hierarchy of GAAP sources for non-governmental entities under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and will supersede all accounting standards in U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This guidance is effective for all financial statements issued for the interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this codification does not change or alter existing GAAP and, therefore, has not had any impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Income Taxes

The Company recorded a net federal tax expense of $470,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009 based on the Company’s evaluation of the realizability of its deferred tax asset.

The Company’s income tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $490,189 compared to $341,404 for the same period in 2008.  The Company records state income tax expense based on year-to-date taxable income of the Company and its subsidiaries and records federal alternative minimum tax expense as the Company utilizes its net operating loss carryforwards to offset any federal taxes due.

Comparison of the Company’s effective tax rate from period to period may not be consistent, as state taxes vary with the taxable income of the Company and its subsidiaries, while federal taxes are based upon the consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries.

As of December 31, 2008, the gross deferred tax asset of $8,492,844 was reduced by a valuation allowance in the amount of $7,492,844, which reflected management’s likelihood of utilizing the net operating losses in the future based upon projected taxable income.

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

We begin Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Colonial Commercial Corp. and subsidiaries with a discussion of our business, and other business considerations, to provide a context for understanding.  This is followed by a discussion of the “Critical Accounting Policies” that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated into our reported financial results which we discuss under “Results of Operations.” We then provide an analysis of cash flows, and discuss our financial commitments under “Liquidity and Capital Resources.” It is suggested that Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.

We distribute appliances, such as washers and dryers, to appliance dealers primarily in New York, New Jersey, and portions of Connecticut, Delaware and Pennsylvania.

Our objective is to become a leading provider of HVAC, plumbing and electrical equipment and accessories to the professional contractor in the northeastern United States by expanding our product offerings and increasing our customer technical and logistical support services.

Other Business Considerations

Our business is affected by significant outdoor temperature swings. Our sales typically increase during peak heating and cooling demand periods.  Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is highest in the second and third quarters, while demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the fourth quarter.  Our business is also affected by general economic conditions in the residential and commercial construction industries.

Tender Offer

On August 20, 2009, the Company offered to purchase any and all shares of its convertible preferred stock at $1.25 per share. The purpose of this tender offer was to reduce the number of holders of record of convertible preferred stock in order to permit the Company to deregister the preferred stock along with the common stock. Deregistration would result in the Company no longer being a Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") reporting company. There are currently 541 holders of record of convertible preferred stock. The Company continues currently as an SEC reporting company because there are currently more than 300 holders of record of convertible preferred stock.

Pursuant to the tender offer, 154,834 shares of convertible preferred stock were tendered through October 20, 2009. The Company accounted for these transactions utilizing the constructive retirement method and has retired the convertible preferred stock purchased through this tender offer.

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.

18


Revenue for the Company primarily consists of sales of heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, climate control systems and plumbing and electrical fixtures and supplies. Revenue is recognized when the earnings process is complete, which is generally upon shipment or delivery of products, and the price is determined and collectability is reasonably assured, in accordance with agreed-upon shipping terms and when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer.  The Company has no further obligations subsequent to shipment or delivery.  Customers have the right to return defective products, which are substantially covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.  The customer receives a credit from the Company for defective products returned and the Company receives a corresponding credit provided by the manufacturer.  The only warranty provided on products sold is the one provided by the manufacturer.

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. The Company had accounts receivable of $10,348,515, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $565,272, as of September 30, 2009.  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.

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.

Goodwill and other intangibles are reviewed at least annually for impairment.  In assessing the recoverability of the Company’s goodwill and other intangibles, 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, as of December 31, 2008 there was no indication of impairment for goodwill and other intangibles acquired in prior business combinations. If the Company’s estimates or its related assumptions change, the Company may be required to record impairment charges related to its goodwill or other intangibles.  As a result of an assessment of S&A’s business condition at the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a non-cash charge in the amount of $309,900 which reflects the impairment of S&A’s client list and trade name estimated net book value. Goodwill and other intangible assets amounting to $1,628,133 and $3,333 at September 30, 2009, respectively, consist of assets arising from acquisitions.

19


The Company has accounted for, and currently accounts for, income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of 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.   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.  As of December 31, 2008, the gross deferred tax asset of $8,492,844 was reduced by a valuation allowance in the amount of $7,492,844, which reflected management’s likelihood of utilizing the net operating losses in the future based upon projected taxable income.

At September 30, 2009, gross deferred tax assets of $9,185,641 have been reduced by a valuation allowance in the amount of $8,655,641. Such valuation allowance includes a reduction to the net deferred tax asset of $470,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 based on future projected taxable income and management’s assessment of future utilization of net operating loss carryfowards.

Results of Operations

Results of Operations for the Quarters Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008

Sales decreased by 4.8%, or $1,098,193, to $21,764,171 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 from $22,862,364 for the same period in 2008. The decline reflects a general economic slowdown, as well as a decline in both residential and commercial construction and renovations.

Gross profit decreased by 13.5%, or $894,974, to $5,720,343 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 from $6,615,317 for the same period in 2008.  Gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales decreased to 26.3% in 2009 compared to 28.9% for the comparable period in 2008. The decline in gross profit and the decrease in gross margins expressed as a percentage of sales were primarily caused by decreasing sales, price reductions, reduced cash discounts taken on purchases, and the results of a more competitive marketplace. 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 $125,106 and $134,315 for the quarters ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 11.1%, or $664,594, to $5,323,678 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 from $5,988,272 for the same period in 2008.  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense is primarily related to a reduction in payroll and benefit costs in the amount of $474,474, a reduction in vehicle costs in the amount of $54,092, a reduction in bad debt expense in the amount of $45,449, and a reduction in depreciation and amortization in the amount of $42,104, partially offset by costs in the amount of $125,909 related to the Company’s tender offer.

Net interest expense decreased by 39.4%, or $106,567, to $163,665 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 from $270,232 for the same period in 2008.  The net interest expense decrease is primarily the result of decreased borrowings under the credit line and a decrease in the interest rate.  The average interest rate on the line of credit for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was 3.0% compared to 4.75% for the same period in 2008.

20


The Company’s income tax expense for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $490,189 compared to $341,404 for the same period in 2008.  The Company recorded a net federal tax expense of $470,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 based on the Company’s evaluation of the realizability of its deferred tax asset.  The Company records state income tax expense based on year-to-date taxable income of the Company and its subsidiaries and records federal alternative minimum tax expense as the Company utilizes its net operating loss carryforwards to offset any federal taxes due.  Comparison of the Company’s effective tax rate from period to period may not be consistent as the Company’s subsidiaries file separate state tax returns and the Company files a consolidated federal return.  State taxes vary with the taxable income of the Company and its separate subsidiaries, while federal taxes are based upon the consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Company’s net income decreased by $275,849 to a net loss of $200,620 for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared to a net income of $75,229 for the same period in 2008.  The decrease in net income is primarily the result of a decrease in gross margins in the amount of $894,974, an expense based on the Company’s revaluation of its deferred tax asset in the amount of $470,000 and costs related to the Company’s tender offer in the amount of $125,909, partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expense in the amount of $790,503, excluding tender offer expenses, and a decrease in interest expense in the amount $106,567.

Results of Operations for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008

Sales decreased by 11.6%, or $7,525,220, to $57,581,457 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $65,106,677 for the same period in 2008. The decline reflects a general economic slowdown, a decline in both residential and commercial construction and renovations, and a significantly cooler month of June which negatively impacted the sales of HVAC equipment.

Gross profit decreased by 18.6%, or $3,517,441, to $15,397,075 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $18,914,516 for the same period in 2008.  Gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales decreased to 26.7% in 2009 compared to 29.1% for the comparable period in 2008. The decline in gross profit and the decrease in gross margins expressed as a percentage of sales were primarily caused by decreasing sales, price reductions, reduced cash discounts taken on purchases, and the results of a more competitive marketplace. 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 $358,524 and $396,825 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 11.7%, or $2,177,155, to $16,444,564 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $18,621,719 for the same period in 2008.  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense is primarily related to a reduction in payroll and benefit costs in the amount of $1,507,995, a reduction in vehicle costs in the amount of $173,024, a reduction in accounting and professional fees in the amount of $83,859, a reduction in bad debt expense in the amount of $212,755, and a reduction in facility costs, utilities and telephone expenses in the amount of $104,375, partially offset by costs in the amount of $208,311 related to the Company’s tender offer.

The Company also incurred a non-cash charge to intangible assets, including customer lists and trade name of our S&A subsidiary, in the amount of $309,900 as a result of an assessment of S&A’s business condition at the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

21


Net interest expense decreased by 48.6%, or $452,587, to $478,913 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $931,500 for the same period in 2008.  The net interest expense decrease is primarily the result of decreased borrowings under the credit line and a decrease in the interest rate.  The average interest rate on the line of credit for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 3.0% compared to 5.18% for the same period in 2008.

The Company’s income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $508,548 compared to $363,681 for the same period in 2008.  The Company recorded a net federal tax expense of $470,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 based on the Company’s revaluation of its deferred tax asset. The Company records state income tax expense based on year-to-date taxable income of the Company and its subsidiaries and records federal alternative minimum tax expense as the Company utilizes its net operating loss carryforwards to offset any federal taxes due.  Comparison of the Company’s effective tax rate from period to period may not be consistent as the Company’s subsidiaries file separate state tax returns and the Company files a consolidated federal return.  State taxes vary with the taxable income of the Company and its separate subsidiaries, while federal taxes are based upon the consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Company’s net loss increased by $1,402,133 to $2,186,099 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, compared to a net loss of $783,966 for the same period in 2008.  The increase in net loss is primarily the result of a decrease in gross margins in the amount of $3,517,441, an expense based on the Company’s revaluation of its deferred tax asset in the amount of $470,000 and costs related to the Company’s tender offer in the amount of $208,311, partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expense in the amount of $2,385,466, excluding tender offer expenses, and a decrease in interest expense in the amount $452,587. The Company also incurred a non-cash charge to intangible assets, including customer lists and trade name of our S&A subsidiary, in the amount of $309,900 as a result of an assessment of S&A’s business condition at the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

The Company expects continued weakness in the construction industry for the remainder of 2009 through 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has a secured credit facility (“Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells”) in the amount of $25 million which expires August 1, 2012.  The $25 million credit facility includes a $1 million structural sublimit, as defined in the Agreement, payable in 24 equal monthly installments, and up to $500,000 of seasonal over-advances.  Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company, as defined in the Agreement.

Availability under the credit facility was $250,370 as of September 30, 2009 and is determined by a percentage of available assets as defined in the Agreement, less reserves.

The interest rate on the credit facility during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was prime minus 0.25%, or 3.0%. Pursuant to a Third Amendment to the Credit and Security Agreement, dated November 12, 2009 (“Third Amendment”), effective October 1, 2009 the interest rate has been increased to prime plus 1.25% and the Company’s option to convert the interest rate on up to 75% of the credit facility’s outstanding balance to 2½% over LIBOR has been terminated. A copy of the Third Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.04.

Reserves, determined by the bank, reduce the availability of the credit facility by $171,000.  The balance outstanding under the credit facility was $15,155,625 as of September 30, 2009.

During the period from January 1, 2009 to August 27, 2009, Wells made credit facility loans to the Company against inventory at 57% of eligible inventory, pursuant to the Credit and Security Agreement. On August 28, 2009, the availability rate on inventory was reduced from 57% to 55%. The availability rate on inventory was again reduced on October 12, 2009 from 55% to 54%, on October 26, 2009 from 54% to 53% and further reduced on November 2, 2009 from 53% to 52%, subject to further adjustment based on an appraisal currently being conducted. The reductions to date have reduced the Company’s liquidity by approximately $700,000 based on the inventory available under the credit facility as of September 30, 2009.

The Company anticipates that liquidity will decline during the first several months in 2010 because of seasonal business downturns, particularly if recessionary forces do not abate. The business of the Company will be materially and adversely affected if the bank substantially reduces the amount of the credit availability under the terms of the loan or the bank demands payment of the loan and the Company is unable to refinance the loan, or if liquidity is otherwise substantially reduced. In the event that Mr. Pagano no longer performs the duties of the President of Universal or the Vice President of RAL for any reason other than death or disability, the Company will be considered in default of its credit agreement with Wells unless a waiver is obtained.  The credit facility contains covenants that are determined annually and relate to the Company’s quarterly net income, quarterly cash flows, quarterly tangible net worth, and annual capital expenditures.  The credit facility also restricts the payment of dividends, subordinated debt and purchase of securities.  The continuation of the credit facility is conditioned upon the Company and Wells reaching agreement on the covenants.  While the Company and Wells have reached mutually agreeable covenants in the past, there is no assurance that they will be able to do so in the future. As of September 30, 2009, the Company was in default of its quarterly net income, quarterly cash flow and quarterly tangible net worth covenants.  Pursuant to the Third Amendment, (i) the lender has waived this event of default for a fee of $60,000; (ii) the interest rate has been increased to prime plus 1.25% effective October 1, 2009; and (iii) the Company’s option to convert the interest rate on up to 75% of the credit facility’s outstanding balance to 2½% over LIBOR has been terminated.

23


As of September 30, 2009, the Company had $608,346 in cash compared with $417,387 at December 31, 2008.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,381,911 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.  The net cash used in operating activities for the 2009 period is primarily a result of a net loss of $2,186,099 and cash used in operating assets and liabilities of $763,361, offset by non-cash charges of $1,567,549. The increase in accounts receivable of $1,909,912 is primarily related to increased sales volume in September 2009 compared to December 2008.  The increase in trade payables of $1,985,163 is primarily a result of the decrease in cash availability under the credit facility, which is related to the decrease of assets available for borrowing.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $131,831 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, due to purchases of equipment in the amount of $152,046, offset by proceeds from disposal of property and equipment in the amount of $20,215.

Cash flows provided by financing activities of $1,704,701 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 consisted of $1,991,761 in borrowings under the credit facility-revolving credit and the issuance of notes payable in the amount of $446,033 related to the tender offer, offset by $264,758 for repayments of notes payable, repayments of notes payable in the amount of $22,302 related to the tender offer and the retirement of preferred stock in the amount of $161,261.
