PART F/S
DAC TECHNOLOGIES GROUP INTERNATIONAL, INC.
SELECTED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Nature of Business
DAC Technologies Group International, Inc. (the Company), is in the business of
developing, marketing and outsourcing the manufacture of various consumer products, patented and
non-patented. The Companys primary business is gun safety and gun maintenance with a target
consumer base of sportsmen, hunters and outdoorsmen, and recreational enthusiasts. The Companys
products have historically been security related, evolving from various personal, home and
automotive electronic security devices, to firearm safety devices such as gun and trigger locks,
cable locks and safes. In 2003, the product line was expanded to include a line of gun cleaning
kits and accessories. This line has continued to be expanded, and now accounts for approximately
70% of the Companys sales revenues whereas gun locks now account for approximately 12% of sales.
In 2005, the Company began developing products in the hunting and camping market, adding a line of
meat processing items. The Company continues to develop this market, having added a knife
processing kit, aluminum camping table and turkey seat.
Although a significant portion of our business is with the mass-market retailer
Wal-Mart (approximately 62%), we have been able to considerably increase our business with large
sporting goods retailers, distributors and catalog companies.
The majority of the Companys products are manufactured and imported from mainland China and
shipped to the Companys central warehouse facility in Little Rock, Arkansas for distribution.
These products, along with other items manufactured in the United States, are sold primarily to
mass merchants and sporting goods retailers throughout the United States and international
locations.
Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and basis of presentation
The Company was incorporated as a Florida corporation in July 1998 under the name DAC
Technologies of America, Inc. In July 1999, the Company changed its name to DAC Technologies Group
International, Inc.
Unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the
three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 are unaudited, but, in the opinion of management,
reflect the adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair
presentation of such financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that
the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that
these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
7
the
notes thereto included in the Companys latest 10KSB. The results of operations for an interim
period are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of
revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may vary from
those estimates.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of weighted average cost or market. Costs include freight
and
applicable customs fees. Market is determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate
consideration is given to obsolescence, excessive levels, deterioration and other factors in
evaluating net realizable value. Inventories are shown net of a valuation reserve of $82,926 at
March 31, 2007. The Company receives inventory from overseas at terms of F.O.B. shipping point,
bearing the risk of loss at that point in time. During the time period prior to receipt in the
warehouse, inventory is classified and recorded as inventory in transit. Inventory held in the
warehouse is classified as finished goods.

Due
from Factor
The
Company factors a majority of its receivables without recourse under a credit
risk factoring agreement. The fair values of accounts receivables and
the amount due to the factor under this factoring agreement
approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of the
instruments. The amounts borrowed are collateralized by the
outstanding accounts receivable, and are reflected as a reduction to
accounts receivable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
These amounts are as follows:

Earnings per Share: Dilutive Effect
Basic earnings per share of common stock are computed by dividing net income applicable to
common shares by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if
dilutive, the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock warrants
(using the treasury stock method). For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, there was
no dilutive effect related to these outstanding stock warrants as their exercise price of $2.57 was
greater than the average market price of the common stock during the period.
Accounting
Changes
In
June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement
No. 109 (FIN
48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income
tax positions. FIN 48 requires that the Company recognize in the
consolidated financial statements the impact of a tax position that is
more likely than not to be sustained upon
examination based on the technical merits of the position. Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48. The
adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements of the Company.
Subsequent
event
On
April 30, 2007, the Company settled a lawsuit with an insurance
company in the amount of $146,500. This lawsuit related to a claim
for unpaid insurance premiums prior to March 31, 2007, and has
been accrued in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

ITEM 2. |

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS |
The following Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition is qualified by
reference to and should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the
Notes thereto as set forth at the end of this document. We include the following cautionary
statement in this Form 10QSB for any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the
Company. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals,
strategies, expectations, future events or performances and underlying assumptions and other
statements, which are other than statements of historical facts. Certain statements contained
herein are forward-looking statements and, accordingly, involve risks and uncertainties, which
could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the
forward-looking statements. The Companys
expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in
good faith and are believed by the Company to have a reasonable basis, including without
limitations, managements examination of historical operating trends, data contained in the
Companys
8
records and other data available from third parties, but there can be no assurance that
managements expectations, beliefs or projections will result or be achieved or accomplished.
Historically, the identification and development of new products and expansion of the
Companys sales organization have achieved growth. There can be no assurance that we will be able
to continue to
develop new products or expand sales to sustain rates of revenue growth and profitability in future
periods. Any future success that the Company may achieve will depend upon many factors including
those that may be beyond the control of the Company or which cannot be predicted at this time.
Although we believe that our expectations are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of
our knowledge of our business and operations, actual results may differ materially from our
expectations.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, without
limitations:
|
|
|
achieving planned revenue and profit growth in each of the Companys business units; |
|
|
|
|
renewal of purchase orders consistent with past experience; |
|
|
|
|
increasing price, products and services competition; |
|
|
|
|
emergence of new competitors or consolidation of existing competitors; |
|
|
|
|
the timing of orders and shipments; |
|
|
|
|
continuing availability of appropriate raw materials and manufacturing relationships; |
|
|
|
|
maintaining and improving current product mix; |
|
|
|
|
changes in customer requirements and in the volume of sales to principal customers; |
|
|
|
|
changes in governmental regulations in the various geographical regions where the
Company operates; |
|
|
|
|
general economic and political conditions; |
|
|
|
|
attracting and retaining qualified key employees; |
|
|
|
|
the ability of the Company to control manufacturing and operating costs; and |
|
|
|
|
continued availability of financing, and financial resources on the terms required to
support the Companys future business strategies. |
The following discussion and analysis sets forth the major factors that affected results of
operations and financial condition reflected in the unaudited financial statements for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. In evaluating these statements, you should
consider various factors, including those summarized above, and, from time to time, in other
reports the Company files with the SEC. These factors may cause the Companys actual results to
differ materially from any forward-looking statement. The Company disclaims any obligation to
publicly update these statements, or disclose any difference between its actual results and those
reflected in these statements. The information constitutes forward-looking statements within the
meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
(a) Background
Summary
The
Company reported a net loss of $17,202 on net sales of $2,839,625 for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 as compared to net income of $197,182 on

9
The
Company introduced during the first quarter of 2007 two new products in the hunting and camping
area: an aluminum camping table and turkey seat. These new products
generated $398,723 in gross revenues, or approximately 14% of gross
sales.
Details
We are in the business of developing, marketing and outsourcing the manufacture of various
consumer products, patented and non-patented, designed to enhance and provide security for the
consumer and for his property. Our products consist of gun cleaning kits and accessories, gun
safety items such as gun locks, trigger locks and security safes, and hunting and camping
accessories. In recent years, we have placed particular emphasis on gun cleaning kits and gun
accessories, as well as expanding our hunting and camping category.
A significant portion of our business is with mass-market retailers, primarily Wal-Mart, as
well as gun manufacturers. With the addition of our Gunmaster gun cleaning kits, we continue to
increase our business with sporting goods retailers and distributors.
The Companys business plan and strategy for growth focuses on:
|
|
|
Increased penetration of our existing markets, particularly in the gun cleaning
and accessories market; |
|
|
|
|
Development of new products in new markets, such as camping and housewares |
|
|
|
|
Development of new products for the sporting goods market; |
|
|
|
|
Identification and development of new markets for gun cleaning kits, i.e.
government, law enforcement and military; |
|
|
|
|
Identification and recruitment of effective manufacturers
representatives to actively market these products on a national and
international basis; and |
|
|
|
|
Aggressive cost containment. |
Management believes that continued growth would require the Company to continually innovate
and improve its existing line of products and services to meet consumer, industry and governmental
demands. In addition, we must continue to develop or acquire new and unique products that will
appeal to gun owners and other outdoor activities.
In addition to our traditional products, our management is actively pursuing initiatives,
which may add complementary businesses, products and services. These initiatives are intended to
broaden the base of revenues to make us less dependent on particular products. By developing
businesses which focus on products and services which complement our current line of products, and
our current customer base, management hopes to leverage these opportunities to not only develop new
sources of revenue, but to strengthen the demand for our existing products.
Our products can be grouped into four main categories: (a) gun cleaning and maintenance, (b)
hunting and camping, (c) gun safety, and (d) other products. In developing these products, we
focus on developing features, establishing patents, and formulating pricing to obtain a competitive
edge. We currently design and engineer our products with the assistance of our Chinese and
domestic manufacturers, who are responsible for the tooling, manufacture and packaging of our
products.
10
Gun Maintenance. We market over forty (40) different gun cleaning kits, rod sets, tools and
accessories used to clean and maintain virtually any firearm on the market. These kits are solid
brass, and consist of universal kits designed to fit a variety of firearms, caliber specific
kits, as well as replacement brushes, mops, etc. These kits are available in solid wood or
aluminum cases, as well as blister packed.
We also market several kits that have been privately labeled for certain customers. This product
area accounted for 67% of sales during the first quarter of 2007.
Hunting and camping. This category includes three meat-processing items, Sportsmans Lighter,
game processing kit, aluminum camping table, turkey seat and portable ATV light. This product area
accounted for 16% of sales during the first quarter of 2007.
Gun Safety. We market twelve (12) different gun safety locks and five (5) security and
specialty safes. The gunlocks composition range from plastic to steel, keyed trigger locks to
cable locks. The security safes are of heavy-duty, all steel construction and are designed for
firearms, jewelry and other valuables. Eight of the Companys gunlocks and two safes have been
certified for sale consistent with the standards set out by the State of California.
Other Products. We market four (4) different electronic security devices designed to protect
the person, and two licensed products, the Clampit Cupholder and Plateholder. This product area
accounts for less than the one percent of the Companys sales.
(b) Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
For
the three months ended March 31, 2007, the Company had a net
loss of $17,202 on net sales
of $2,839,625 as compared to net income of $197,182 on net sales of $2,763,197 for the three months
ended March 31, 2006.
Due to a number of factors, particularly increases in commodity prices for brass, metal, wood
and plastic as well as a devaluation of the US dollar versus the Chinese renminbi (RMB), the
Company has experienced a significant increase in the cost of its products during the past twelve
months. These increases have had a direct effect on the Companys profits, as gross margins have
decreased from 35% for the three months ended March 31, 2006, to 29% for the three months ended
March 31, 2007 or a net decline of 6%. The Company is currently examining measures by which to
reduce its costs of manufacture.
Operating
expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $788,760 as compared to
$587,058 for the same period in the prior year, an increase of 34%.
The Company recorded a one-time charge related to a lawsuit
settlement of $146,500 during the three months ended March 31,
2007. Without this one-time charge, operating expenses would have
been $642,260, an increase of $55,202 over 2006. This increase is a result of a
number of factors that the Company has identified and begun developing cost saving measures. Some
increases are difficult to control, such as freight costs, which increased 9% over the prior year
even though sales volume only increased 3%. This is a direct result of the increase in fuel costs,
causing freight companies to charge an additional 13% to 17% in fuel surcharges. Some of the
increase can also be attributed to one time costs associated with the Company moving into its new
offices and warehouse facility in January 2007.

As explained above, accounts receivable on the Companys balance sheet represents
those receivables that have not yet been legally assigned to the factor. The Companys total
receivables, as detailed above, were $3,032,437 at March 31, 2007 as compared to $5,633,811 at
December 31, 2006. This decrease of $2,601,374 is a result of the decrease in sales during the
quarter ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2006. Historically,
sales in the fourth quarter have been the largest quarter. It is normal and expected that total
receivables would decrease during the first three quarters as compared to the fourth quarter of the
previous year.
Inventory at March 31, 2007 remained virtually unchanged from December 31, 2006. Typically,
the Company attempts to maintain sixty days worth of inventory at any one time. Inventories at
December 31, 2006 were slightly high due to the sales in December 2006 being less than anticipated.
Accounts payable at March 31, 2007 decreased $490,664 from December 31, 2006.
12
(c) Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity needs arise primarily from inventory. Our primary source of cash is funds from
our operations. We believe that external sources of liquidity could be obtained in the form of bank
loans, letters of credit, etc. The Company maintains a factoring agreement wherein it assigns its
receivables (on a non-recourse basis). Consequently, should our sales revenues significantly
decline, it could affect our short-term liquidity. The factor performs all credit and collection
functions, and assumes all risks associated with the collection of the receivables. The factor may
also, at its discretion, advance funds prior
to the collection of our accounts. Advances are payable to the factor on demand. The Company
pays a fee of 65/100ths of 1% of the face value of each receivable for this service. For the
period ending March 31, 2007, our factor had advanced us $1,625,902.In addition, in order to
generate immediate cash flow, the Company may borrow against the assigned receivables prior to
their collection and is charged interest on any such advances.
(d) Trends
Our business faces the issues of increased manufacturing costs and margin erosion as a result
of raw material, fuel and other utility price increases, and a weak U.S. dollar. This will put
pressure on our margins and overhead costs. Any strengthening of the US dollar would impact
favorably on the business, as this would ease the pressure on margins and increase our
competitiveness. Current trends, however, suggest a continued weakening which will place
additional pressure on our sales into our markets.
(e) Gun Legislation
Several federal laws regulate the ownership, purchase and use of handguns, including the 1968
Gun Control Act and the Brady Bill. Notwithstanding these and other laws, there is not any federal
law that requires the use of gunlocks, despite numerous attempts in Congress to pass such
legislation.
Some states have passed Child Access Prevention (or CAP) Laws, which hold gun owners responsible if
they leave guns easily accessible to children and a child improperly gains access to the weapon.
Additionally, the State of California has enacted legislation that establishes performance
standards for firearm safety devices, lock-boxes and safes.
The fact that gun safety laws are passed by federal, state, or local governments does not ensure
that the demand for our gun safety products will increase. We are currently unsure what, if any,
impact that the recent Virginia Tech shootings will have on issues of gun control, gun ownership
and gun safety.
(f) Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company prepares its condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Companys
significant accounting policies are discussed in detail in Note 2 to the December 31, 2006 audited
consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Form 10KSB. The quarterly financial
statements for the period ended March 31, 2007, attached hereto, and should therefore be read in
conjunction with that discussion. Certain of these accounting policies as discussed below require
management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that could materially affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we
consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements because they
inherently
13
involve significant judgments and uncertainties. For all of these estimates, we caution
that future events rarely develop exactly as forecast, and the best estimates routinely require
adjustment. Since December 31, 2006, there have been no changes in our critical accounting
policies and no significant change to the assumptions and estimates related to them.
Long-lived Assets. Depreciation expense is based on the estimated useful lives of the
underlying property and equipment. Although the Company believes it is unlikely that any
significant changes to the useful lives of its property and equipment will occur in the near term,
an increase or decrease in the estimated useful lives would result in changes to depreciation
expense.
The Company continually reevaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets, for events or
changes in circumstances, which indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. As part
of this reevaluation, if impairment indicators are present, the Company estimates the future cash
flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposal. If the sum of the
expected future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying
value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to reduce the carrying value of the long-lived
asset to the estimated fair value of the asset.
Inventories. Inventories are valued at the lower of weighted cost or market. Market is
determined based on net realizable value. Appropriate consideration is given to obsolescence,
excessive levels, deterioration and other factors in evaluating net realizable value. The Company
records a valuation reserve for inventories for which costs exceed the net realizable value.
Although the Company believes it is unlikely that any significant changes to the valuation reserve
will be necessary in the near term, changes in demand for our products would result in changes to
the valuation reserve.
Patents and Trademarks. Amortization expense is based on the estimated economic useful lives
of the underlying patents and trademarks. Although the Company believes it is unlikely that any
significant changes to the useful lives of its patents and trademarks will occur in the near term,
rapid changes in technology or changes in market conditions could result in revisions to such
estimates that could materially affect the carrying value of these assets and the Companys future
consolidated operating results.
(g) Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Since 2003, our Chief Executive Officer, David Collins, leased a portion of his home in Miami,
Florida to the Company, which serves as the Companys executive office. The Company pays a monthly
office allowance to Mr. Collins of $5,500, for approximately 1,200 square feet and secretarial
support. There is no lease agreement for these premises. This office arrangement was not the
product of arms length negotiation; however, the Company has determined the arrangement to be
competitive with comparable office space and secretarial support.
The Company does not use affiliation with special purpose entities, variable interest entities
or synthetic leases to finance its operations. Additionally, the Company has not entered into any
arrangement requiring it to guarantee payment of third party debt or to fund losses of an
unconsolidated special purpose entity.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Companys management, with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and
Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls
and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that
evaluation, the Companys Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have
concluded that, as of March 31, 2007, such controls and procedures were effective.
(b) Definition of Disclosure Controls
Disclosure Controls are controls and other procedures of the Company designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure Controls are also designed to
ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the
Companys principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
(c) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
Our CEO and CFO do not expect that our Disclosure Controls or our internal control over
financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well
designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control
systems objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact
that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to
their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls
can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been
detected.
These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be
faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. The design of any system
of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and
there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all
potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in
conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of
the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud
may occur and not be detected.
(d) Conclusions
Based upon the Disclosure Controls evaluation referenced above, our acting CEO and our CFO
have concluded that, subject to the limitations noted above, as of the end of the period covered by
this Quarterly Report, our Disclosure Controls were effective.
15
(e) Changes in Internal Controls
The Companys management, with the participation of the Principal Executive Officer and
Principal Financial Officer, have evaluated any changes in the Companys internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this quarterly report, and they have
concluded that
there was no material change to the Companys internal control over financial reporting that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control
over financial reporting.
(f) Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 Compliance
As directed by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Securities and Exchange
Commission adopted rules requiring public companies to include a report of management on the
Companys internal controls over financial reporting in their annual reports. In addition, the
independent registered public accounting firm auditing a companys financial statements must also
attest to and report on managements assessment of the effectiveness of the companys internal
controls over financial reporting as well as the operating effectiveness of the companys internal
controls. We were not subject to these requirements for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2006. Management will assess its
internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report for
2007; however managements assessment will not be audited until
fiscal 2008.
Notwithstanding, there is risk that we may not be able to comply with all of the requirements
imposed by this rule. At present there is no precedent available with which to measure compliance
adequacy. In the event we identify significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in our internal
controls that we cannot remediate in a timely manner or we are unable to receive a positive
attestation from our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our internal
controls, investors and others may lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements
and our stock price and ability to obtain equity or debt financing as needed could suffer. In
addition, in the event that our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to rely on
our internal controls in connection with their audit of our financial statements, and in the
further event that they are unable to devise alternative procedures in order to satisfy themselves
as to the material accuracy of our financial statements and related disclosures, it is possible
that we would receive a qualified or adverse audit opinion on those financial statements which
could also adversely affect the market price of our common stock and our ability to secure
additional financing as needed.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
On December 16, 2005, Continental Western Insurance Company filed suit against the Company in
the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas, claiming unpaid insurance premiums in the amount of
$236,121 relating to the product liability portion of the policy. On April 30, 2007, the Company
settled this suit by agreeing to pay Continental Western at total of $146,500. Terms of this
settlement call for the Company to pay $50,000 on April 30, 2007, with the balance of $96,500 to be
paid in twelve equal monthly installments of $8,305.41 beginning May 15, 2007.
16
On November 8, 2005, the Company was sued in the Court of Common Pleas, in Dauphin County,
Pennsylvania, by Marie Ann Rhayam, on a products liability claim involving a 12-year-old boy who
allegedly defeated a gunlock manufactured by the Company, and shot and wounded the plaintiffs
son. The suit seeks unspecified damages. The Companys attorney believes that the Company will
prevail on the merits and defeat the claim. A demand has been made on the Companys former
insurance company, Continental Western Insurance Company for coverage of the claim. Continental
Western has engaged the services of an attorney (at their expense) to represent themselves and the
Company in this matter.
The Company was the plaintiff against a former manufacturer Skit International, Ltd. and
Uni-Skit Technologies, Inc. which alleged breach of a manufacturing contract which required
defendants to manufacture certain of its products within the range of competitive pricing, a
defined term. The Company sought damages and rescission of 165,000 shares of its common stock as
part of the compensation paid to the defendants. The defendants denied the allegations and
counterclaimed for an outstanding balance of $182,625, for rescission of the manufacturing
agreement and for damage to its business reputation.
In August of 2003, this suit went to trial before a twelve (12)-member jury in the Circuit
Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas. The jury awarded the Company damages in the amount of
$1,650,560, against Skit and Uni-Skit, which includes the value of the returned shares of stock
previously issued to the defendants. In addition, all counterclaims of the defendants were
dismissed. Pursuant to an order of the Court, the shares issued to the defendants have been
cancelled and reissued to the Company. Thereafter, defendant Skit International, Ltd. filed a
Motion to Set Aside Judgment. The Court denied this motion and no appeal has been filed.
On November 9, 2005, Skit International, Ltd. filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment in
the United States District Court, Eastern District of Arkansas, Western Division, seeking once
again to set aside the judgment against Skit International, Ltd., based upon the allegation that
Skit International, Ltd.s former attorney did not have authorization to act on its behalf with
respect to the Pulaski County case, and that the Arkansas Court did not have personal jurisdiction
over the defendant. The district judge ruled in the Companys
favor dismissing the action. Skit International, Ltd. appealed this
ruling to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. This appeal was
presented to the Eighth Circuit Court on April 13, 2007 whose ruling
is still pending.
