Item 1. | Description of Business. |
General
The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 30, 1963 under the name Metro-Tel Corp. and changed its name to DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. on November 7, 1999. Since November 1, 1998, when Steiner-Atlantic Corp. (Steiner) was merged with and into, and therefore became, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, the Companys principal business has been as a supplier of commercial and industrial dry cleaning equipment, laundry equipment and steam boilers and related activities.
Unless the context otherwise requires, as used in this Report, the Company includes DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
The Company, through Steiner, supplies commercial and industrial dry cleaning equipment, laundry equipment and steam boilers in the United States, the Caribbean and Latin American markets. This aspect of the Companys business services includes:
| distributing commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning machines and steam boilers manufactured by others; |
| selling the Company's own proprietary lines of laundry and dry cleaning machines under its Aero-Tech(R), Multi-Jet(R)and Green-Jet(R)brand names; |
2
| designing and planning turn-key laundry and/or dry cleaning systems to meet the layout, volume and budget needs of a variety of institutional and retail customers; |
| supplying replacement equipment and parts to its customers; |
| providing warranty and preventative maintenance through factory-trained technicians and service managers; and |
| selling process steam systems and boilers. |
The Companys wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, Steiner-Atlantic Brokerage Corp. (Steiner Brokerage), acts as a business broker to assist others seeking to buy or sell existing dry cleaning stores and coin laundry businesses. Some of the Companys existing customers have become Steiner Brokerage clients, utilizing the Companys staff and ability to assist them in the sale of their businesses and associated real property.
The Company, through its DRYCLEAN USA LICENSE CORP. wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, owns the worldwide rights to the name DRYCLEAN USA, along with existing franchise and license agreements. DRYCLEAN USA is one of the largest franchise and license operations in the dry cleaning industry, currently consisting of over 400 franchised and licensed locations in the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America.
Through DRYCLEAN USA Development Corp. (DRYCLEAN USA Development), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary, the Company also develops new turn-key dry cleaning establishments for resale to third parties.
Available Information
The Company files Annual Reports on Form 10-KSB and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB, files or furnishes Current Reports on Form 8-K, files or furnishes amendments to those reports, and files proxy and information statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). These reports and statements may be read and copied at the SECs Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Room 580, Washington, DC 20549. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. These reports and statements, as well as beneficial ownership reports filed by the Companys officers, directors and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Companys common stock, may be obtained without charge through the Companys Internet site http://www.drycleanusa.com as soon as reasonably practicable after such materials are filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.
Product Lines
The Company sells a broad line of commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning equipment and steam boilers, as well as parts and accessories therefor.
The commercial and industrial laundry equipment distributed by the Company features washers and dryers, including coin-operated machines, boilers, water reuse and heat reclamation systems, flatwork ironers, automatic folders and feeders. The Companys dry cleaning equipment includes commercial dry cleaning machines sold primarily under the Aero-Tech®, Multi-Jet® and Green-Jet® names, as well as garment presses, finishing equipment, sorting and storage conveyors and accessories distributed for others.
3
The Companys proprietary environmentally friendly Green-Jet® dry-wetcleaning machine not only cleans garments efficiently, but also eliminates the use of perchloroethylene (Perc) in the dry cleaning process, thereby eliminating the health and environmental concerns that Perc poses to customers and their landlords. It also alleviates flammability, odor and cost issues inherent in alternative solvents and cleaning processes. In May 2005, patents were granted to the Company from the United States to protect this innovative approach to garment cleaning. Patents from other countries are still pending. In August 2003, the Company introduced its Multi-Jet® dry cleaning machine which can use a number of environmentally safe solvents and will replace certain existing products.
The products sold by the Company are positioned and priced to appeal to customers in each of the high-end, mid-range and value priced markets. These products are offered under a wide range of price points to address the needs of a diverse customer base. Suggested prices for most of the Companys products range from approximately $5,000 to $100,000. The products supplied by the Company afford the Companys customers a one-stop shop for commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning machines, boilers and accessories. By providing one-stop shopping, the Company believes it is better able to attract and support potential customers who can choose from the Companys broad product line. Product sales accounted for approximately 96% of revenues in each of fiscal 2006 and 2005.
The Company seeks to establish customer satisfaction by offering:
| an on-site training and preventive maintenance program performed by factory trained technicians and service managers; |
| design and layout assistance; |
| maintenance of a comprehensive parts and accessories inventory and same day or overnight availability; |
| competitive pricing; and |
| a toll-free support line to resolve customer service problems. |
In addition, the Company, under the name DRYCLEAN USA, currently franchises and licenses over 400 retail drycleaning stores in the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America, making it one of the largest retail drycleaning license and franchise operations in the dry cleaning industry. During fiscal 2006 and 2005, the Companys license and franchise segment contributed approximately 1.7% and 2.0%, respectively, of the Companys revenues.
Through its Steiner Brokerage subsidiary, the Company acts as a business broker to assist others seeking to buy or sell existing dry cleaning and laundry businesses. Some of the Companys existing customers have become Steiner Brokerage clients, utilizing the Companys staff and ability to assist them in the sale of their businesses and associated real property. This business contributed less than 1% of the Companys revenues during fiscal 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The Company, through its DRYCLEAN USA Development subsidiary, develops new turn-key dry cleaning establishments for resale to third parties. During fiscal 2006, DRYCLEAN USA Development did not contribute to the Companys revenues and contributed less than 1% in fiscal 2005.
The laundry and dry cleaning equipment products marketed by the Company are sold by it to its customers in the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America, as well as customers of its
4
DRYCLEAN USA licensing subsidiary. The Company employs sales executives to market its proprietary and distributed products, including its Aero-Tech®, Multi-Jet® and Green-Jet® products, in the United States and in international markets. The Company supports product sales by advertising in trade publications, participating in trade shows and engaging in regional promotions and sales incentive programs. A substantial portion of equipment and parts sales orders are obtained by telephone, e-mail and fax inquiries originated by the customer or by representatives of the Company, and significant repeat sales are derived from existing customers.
Additionally, the Companys Aero-Tech®, Green-Jet® and Multi-Jet® machines are sold through distributors and dealers throughout the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America. The Company continues to develop distributor relationships in North America for its dry cleaning machines.
The Company trains its sales and service employees to provide service and customer support. The Company uses specialized classroom training, instructional videos and vendor sponsored seminars to educate employees about product information. In addition, the Companys technical staff has prepared comprehensive training manuals, written in English and Spanish, relating to specific training procedures. The Companys technical personnel are continuously retrained as new technology is developed. The Company monitors service technicians continued educational experience and fulfillment of requirements in order to evaluate their competence. All of the Companys service technicians receive service bulletins, service technicians tips and continued training seminars.
The Companys customer base consists of approximately 750 customers in the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America, including independent and franchise dry cleaning stores and chains, hotels, motels, cruise lines, hospitals, nursing homes, government institutions and distributors. In June 2004, as another distributor ceased operations, the Company obtained an expansion of the territory in which it acts as a distributor for certain laundry products manufactured by certain manufacturers from southern Florida to encompass most of Florida, the Companys principal domestic market. One customer accounted for approximately 17% of the Companys revenues during the year ended June 30, 2006. No customer accounted for more than 10% of the Companys revenues during the year ended June 30, 2005.
Export sales of laundry and dry cleaning equipment were approximately $2,533,000 and $2,833,000 during the years ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively, and were made principally to Latin America and the Caribbean. See Customers and Markets.
All of the Companys export sales require the customer to make payment in United States dollars. Accordingly, foreign sales may be affected by the strength of the United States dollar relative to the currencies of the countries in which their customers and competitors are located, as well as the strength of the economies of the countries in which the Companys customers are located.
5
The Company purchases laundry and dry cleaning machines, boilers and the other products supplied by it from a number of manufacturers. One of our suppliers accounted for approximately 23% of the Companys purchases for the year ended June 30, 2006. During the year ended June 30, 2005, no suppliers accounted for more than 20% of the Companys purchases. The Companys major suppliers are Pellerin Milnor Corporation, Chicago Dryer Company and Unipress Corporation. Historically, the Company has not experienced difficulty in purchasing products it distributes for others and believes it has good working relationships with its suppliers.
The supplier of a significant portion of the Companys laundry equipment and spare parts for their laundry equipment is located near New Orleans. While its plant was only slightly damaged by Hurricane Katrina, its power and employee availability were disrupted, causing shipment delays during fiscal 2006. These problems have been resolved. The Company has shipped its backlog and is now current with new orders.
The Companys proprietary Green-Jet® dry-wetcleaning machines are currently manufactured exclusively for the Company by one manufacturer in the United States. Substantially all of the Companys dry cleaning equipment sold under the Aero-Tech® and Multi-Jet® labels is currently manufactured exclusively for the Company by two manufacturers in Italy.
The Company has established long-standing relationships with these manufacturers. The Companys management believes its supplier relationships for the products it distributes for others and its proprietary products provide the Company with a substantial competitive advantage, including exclusivity for certain products and certain areas and favorable prices and terms. Therefore, the loss of certain of these vendor relationships could adversely affect the Companys business.
The Company has a formal contract with only a few of its equipment suppliers and manufacturers and relies on its long-standing relationship with its other suppliers and manufacturers. The Company collaborates in the design and closely monitors the quality of its manufactured product. The Company must place its orders with its United States manufacturer of the Green-Jet® dry-wetcleaning machine and with its Italian manufacturers of its Aero-Tech® and Multi-Jet® dry cleaning machines prior to the time the Company has received all of its orders and, in certain instances, places orders for products it distributes in advance of its receipt of sales orders. However, because of the Companys close working relationship with its suppliers and manufacturers, the Company can usually adjust orders rapidly and efficiently to reflect a change in customer demands. The Company believes that if, for any reason, its arrangements with the manufacturers of its proprietary products were to cease, or in the event the cost of these products were to be adversely affected, it will be able to have these products manufactured by other suppliers.
The Companys current bank revolving credit facility includes a $250,000 foreign exchange subfacility for the purpose of enabling the Company to mitigate its currency exposure in connection with its import activities through spot foreign exchange and forward exchange contracts. There were no open foreign exchange contracts at either June 30, 2006 or 2005.
Imports into the United States are also affected by the cost of transportation, the imposition of import duties and increased competition from greater production demands abroad. The United States, Italy and the European Union may, from time to time, impose quotas, duties, tariffs or other restrictions or adjust prevailing quotas, duties or tariff levels, which could affect the Companys margins on its Aero-Tech® and Multi-Jet® machines. Customs duties, imposed by the United States, were less than 1% of invoice cost for the Companys imported dry cleaning machines during each of fiscal 2006 and 2005.
6
The commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning equipment distribution business is highly competitive and fragmented with over 100 full-line or partial-line equipment distributors in the United States. The Companys management believes that no one distributor has a major share of the market and that substantially all distributors are independently owned and, with the exception of several regional distributors, operate primarily in local markets. Competition is based primarily on price, product quality, delivery and support services provided to the customer. In Florida, the Companys principal domestic market, the Companys primary competition is derived from a number of full line distributors, which operate throughout Florida. In the export market, the Company competes with several distributors and anticipates increased competition as the export market grows. The Companys proprietary dry cleaning equipment competes with over a dozen manufacturers of dry cleaning equipment whose products are distributed nationally. In all geographic areas, the Company competes by offering an extensive product selection, value-added services, such as product inspection and quality assurance, a toll-free customer support line, reliability, warehouse location, price, competitive special features and, with respect to certain products, as to which the Company acts as distributor, exclusivity.
As a franchisor/licensor of retail dry cleaning stores, DRYCLEAN USA competes with several other franchisors and turn-key suppliers of dry cleaning stores primarily on the basis of trademark recognition and reputation. As a broker in the purchase and sale of retail dry cleaning stores and coin laundry businesses, Steiner Brokerage competes with business brokers generally, as well as with other professionals with contacts in the retail dry cleaning and coin laundry business. Competition in this latter area is primarily based on reputation, advertising and, to a lesser degree, on the level of fees charged.
The Company has designed and introduced its new Green-Jet® dry-wetcleaning and Multi-Jet® drycleaning machines and continues to improve these products. The amounts of research and development expenses for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were $27,805 and $44,825, respectively.
The Company is the owner of United States service mark registrations for the names Aero-Tech®, Multi-Jet® and Green-Jet®, which are used in connection with its laundry and dry cleaning equipment, and of DRYCLEAN USA®, which is licensed by it to retail dry cleaning establishments. The Company intends to use and protect these or related service marks, as necessary. The Company believes its trademarks and service marks have significant value and are an important factor in the marketing of its products. Patents were granted in May 2005 for the protection of the Companys new Green-Jet® dry-wetcleaning machine in the United States which will expire in May 2021 and patents have been applied for in certain foreign countries.
On January 3, 2005, the Company entered into a Patent License Agreement with Whirlpool Corporation (Whirlpool) in which the Company granted Whirlpool an exclusive license until December 31, 2008 and thereafter a non-exclusive license to make and sell laundry appliances incorporating the Companys patent applications and other intellectual property related to fabric treatment technology for improving the drying and refreshing of garments in home clothes dryers. In consideration for the grant of the exclusive license through December 31, 2008, Whirlpool paid the Company $350,000, of which $331,100 was for the exclusive license fee. In addition, Whirlpool is to pay the Company a per unit royalty for dryers using the licensed technology that are sold during the three year period following the first sale following commercial production of dryers using the license technology.

Over the past several decades in the United States, federal, state and local governments have enacted environmental protection laws in response to public concerns about the environment, including with respect to perchloroethylene (Perc), the primary cleaning agent historically used in the commercial and industrial dry cleaning process. A number of industries, including the commercial and industrial dry cleaning and laundry equipment industries, are subject to these evolving laws and implementing regulations. As a supplier to the industry, the Company serves customers who are primarily responsible for compliance with environmental regulations. Among the federal laws that the Company believes are applicable to the industry are the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), which provides for the investigation and remediation of hazardous waste sites; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended (RCRA), which regulates the generation and transportation of hazardous waste as well as its treatment, storage and disposal; and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration Act (OSHA), which regulates exposure to toxic substances and other health and safety hazards in the workplace. Most states and a number of localities have laws that regulate the environment which are at least as stringent as the federal laws. In Florida, for example, in which a significant amount of the Companys dry cleaning and laundry equipment sales are made, environmental matters are regulated by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection which generally follows the United States governments Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) policy in the EPAs implementation of CERCLA and RCRA and closely adheres to OSHAs standards.
The Company believes its Aero-Tech®, Multi-Jet® and Green-Jet® dry-wetcleaning machines exceed environmental regulation standards set by safety and environmental regulatory agencies.
The Company does not believe that compliance with Federal, state and local environmental and other laws and regulations which have been adopted have had, or will have, a material effect on its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.
The Company is also subject to Federal Trade Commission (the FTC) regulations and various state laws regulating the offer and sale of franchises. The FTC and various state laws require the Company to, among other things, furnish to prospective franchisees a franchise offering circular containing prescribed information. Certain states in the United States require separate filings in order to offer and sell franchises in those states. The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with these laws.
The Company currently employs 35 employees on a full-time basis, of whom 4 serve in executive management capacities, 10 are engaged in sales and marketing, 13 are administrative and clerical personnel, and 8 serve as warehouse support. None of the Companys employees are subject to a collective bargaining agreement, nor has the Company experienced any work stoppages. The Company believes that its relations with employees are satisfactory.

Item 2. | Description of Properties. |

Item 6. | Managements Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation. |
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto which appear in Item 7 of this Report.
The early quarters of fiscal 2006 were affected by Hurricane Katrina in the first quarter of the year that caused shipping delays from one of the Companys largest laundry and spare parts suppliers located near New Orleans and by Hurricane Wilma in the second quarter of the year that affected southern Florida, which is a large part of the Companys selling area, and also caused a shutdown of the Companys Miami facilities and corporate headquarters for a week due to power outages. As the year progressed the Company was able to catch up with its shipments and, by year end, the Company was making timely deliveries. Despite these factors, revenues for the year ended June 30, 2006 were a record $20,414,890, or 9.9% higher than in fiscal 2005, and net earnings increased 13.8% over fiscal 2005 to $803,981 or $0.11 per share on a fully diluted basis.
Revenues for the year ended June 30, 2006 increased by $1,839,641 or 9.9% over 2005, primarily as a result of a 13.8% increase in industrial laundry equipment sales and higher commission income earned on shipments made by certain of the Companys manufacturers directly to certain of the Companys large national customers that have special national account terms and arrangements with some manufacturers. However, in these cases, the manufacturer awards the Company a commission. Therefore, while the amount of the Companys revenues was affected because it recognized the amount of the commission instead of the full sales price of the equipment sold, the Companys earnings were not materially impacted. The Company expects this trend to continue in the future but on a lower scale as the Company solidifies the expanded territory it acquired in June 2004 in which it acts as a distributor for certain laundry products manufactured by certain manufacturers from southern Florida to encompass most of Florida.
The increase in sales offset a .8 percentage point decrease in gross margins caused by the increased size of certain orders which carry smaller margins in order to remain competitive. In addition, although lower as a percentage of revenues in fiscal 2006, higher employee compensation expense caused selling, general and administration expenses to increase in dollar amount by 9.7%. The Companys property insurance will increase by approximately $93,000 (79.6%), with large deductibles, in fiscal 2007, as premiums are increasing due to the three hurricanes that hit Florida during fiscal 2006. As a result, the Company has elected to self-insure for wind damage coverage in order to substantially reduce the premiums. The Company believes its facilities are well protected from wind damage.
Inventory levels at June 30, 2006 were slightly lower than at June 30, 2005 due to heavy shipments in June 2006; however, inventory levels are expected to increase as fiscal 2007 progresses.
Cash on hand increased substantially due to a number of factors discussed below, most notably, an approximate $520,000 increase in customers deposits reflecting a higher level of business and backlog. The entire backlog on hand at June 30, 2006 is expected to ship during fiscal 2007.
As a result of the solid financial condition of the Company, the Companys Board of Directors increased the semi-annual dividend to $.04 per share during fiscal 2006.
11
For the twelve month period ended June 30, 2006, cash increased by $1,524,587 compared to a decrease of $160,135 during fiscal 2005.
The following table summarizes the Companys Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows:
Years Ended June 30, | ||
2006 | 2005 | |
Net cash provided (used) by: | ||
Operating activities | $ 2,082,462 | $ 460,462 |
Investing activities | (4,582) | 36,727 |
Financing activities | (553,293) | (657,324) |
For the twelve month period ended June 30, 2006, operating activities provided cash of $2,082,462 compared to $460,462 for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2005. The improvement of $1,622,000 was caused primarily by the improvement in net earnings of $97,718 (partially offset by a $62,408 reduction in non-cash expenses), coupled with changes in operating assets and liabilities that produced additional cash improvement of $1,160,603. The primary reason for the increase in cash contributed by changes in operating assets and liabilities in fiscal 2006 was an increase of $521,542 in customer deposits (compared to an increase of $27,398 in fiscal 2005). The increase in customer deposits reflect an increased level of business and backlog. In addition, cash was provided by a decrease in accounts, trade notes and lease receivables of $193,943 in fiscal 2006 compared to an increase of $369,333 in fiscal 2005. Accounts, trade notes and lease receivables at fiscal 2005 year end were higher due to heavy shipments at year end. Further cash in fiscal 2006 was provided by a decrease in inventory of $98,852 compared to an increase of $118,214 in fiscal 2005. These fluctuations in inventory from year to year are caused by the normal course of business activity. Higher accounts payable and accrued expenses and accrued employee expense levels at the end of fiscal 2006 contributed an aggregate of $488,302 of cash in fiscal 2006, compared to a decrease of $254,988 in fiscal 2005, mostly due to employee bonuses which are to be paid in September 2006. Income taxes payable increased by $74,884 in fiscal 2006 over fiscal 2005 due to increased profitability.
Investing activities used cash of $4,582 for the twelve month period ended June 30, 2006, as the final payments received through November 2005 on a note from the sale of the Companys telecommunications segment ($67,857) did not offset the purchase of capital equipment ($71,131) and patent and trademark expenditures ($1,308). During the comparable period of fiscal 2005, investing activities provided cash of $36,727, as proceeds from the note ($157,143) offset capital expenditures for equipment of $88,461 and patent and trademark expenses of $31,955.
Financing activities used cash of $553,293 in fiscal 2006 to pay dividends of $562,356, partially offset by $9,063 received from the exercise of a stock option to purchase 10,000 shares of the Companys common stock. In fiscal 2005, financing activities used cash of $657,324 to pay dividends of $667,324, offset partially by $10,000 received from the exercise of a stock option to purchase 10,000 shares of the Companys common stock.
On October 30, 2005, the Company received an extension until October 30, 2006 of its existing $2,250,000 revolving line of credit facility. In addition, the Loan Agreement was amended to eliminate the requirement that 51% of the stock of the Company be owned by the Steiner family or any Steiner trust. On October 28, 2004, the Loan Agreement, was amended, to eliminate the borrowing base restriction on borrowings under the revolving credit facility, thereby enabling the Company to borrow up to the full $2,250,000 amount available under that facility regardless of the Companys levels of accounts

receivable and inventories. The Companys obligations under the facility continue to be guaranteed by the Companys subsidiaries and collateralized by substantially all of the Companys and its subsidiaries assets. The Company intends to renew, and believes the bank will agree to renew, this line for another year.
During fiscal 2006 and 2005, the Board of Directors declared various dividends, aggregating $562,356 and $667,324, respectively. Information concerning these dividends is contained in a table shown on page 10 of this report. On September 26, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a $.04 per share semi-annual dividend (or an aggregate of $281,378) payable on November 1, 2006 to shareholders of record on October 13, 2006.
The Company believes that its present cash position, the cash it expects to generate from operations and cash borrowings available under its line of credit will be sufficient to meet its presently contemplated operational needs.
The Company has no off-balance sheet financing arrangements within the meaning of item 303(c) of Regulation S-B.

Revenues for the year ended June 30, 2006 increased by $1,839,641 (9.9%) over fiscal 2005. The commercial laundry and dry cleaning segment increased its revenue by 10.2% due primarily to its sales staff becoming established in the territory into which the Company has expanded since June 2004 and generating an increase in industrial laundry equipment sales and higher commission income. However, the Companys license and franchise segment experienced a decrease of 7.2% in revenues, primarily due to a reduction in royalties and new dry cleaning franchises. For the twelve month period ended June 30, 2006, sales of commercial laundry increased by 13.8%, sales of dry cleaning equipment increased by 2.3% and sales of spare parts increased by 5.1%. These increases were partially offset by a 23.8% decrease in boiler sales. Brokerage revenues, which are included in the commercial laundry and dry cleaning segment, increased by 109.7%; however, they represent less than 1% of Company revenue.
Overall expenses of the Company, including costs of sales, were 94.4% of total revenues in fiscal 2006, compared to 93.9% in fiscal 2005. The slight increase, as a percentage of revenues, reflects lower gross margins.

Cost of goods sold, expressed as a percentage of sales, increased to 75.9% in fiscal 2006 compared to 75.2% in fiscal 2005 as the Company had larger contract sales which generally carry a smaller margin, increase in the Companys provision for slow-moving inventory of approximately $70,000 and a change in product mix.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $392,829 (9.7%), but improved as a percentage of revenues to 21.8% in fiscal 2006 from 21.9% in fiscal 2005. Most of the dollar increase was due to an approximate 23.0% increase in payroll expenses, including increased sales commissions. Other accounts in this category of expenses were generally in line with the increased level of sales.
Research and development expenses are a small part of the Companys total operating expenses. These expenses relate to the on-going research on the Companys Green-Jet® and Multi-Jet® technologies and the application of these technologies to smaller machines for the dry cleaning and hotel industry.
Interest income increased by $64,751 (605.6%) as a result of interest earned on higher outstanding bank balances and higher prevailing rates.
The Companys effective income tax rate decreased to 34.5% in fiscal 2006 compared to the income tax rate of 37.7% in fiscal 2005 mostly due to an increase in the benefit derived from the exclusion of foreign sales.
Inflation has not had a significant effect on the Companys operations during any of the reported periods.
The Company leases 27,000 square feet of warehouse and office space from William K. Steiner, a principal shareholder, Chairman of the Board of Directors and a director of the Company. The Company and Mr. Steiner entered into a new lease for this facility on September 9, 2005 for a three-year period beginning November 1, 2005 at an annual rental of $94,500, with annual increases commencing November 1, 2006 of 3% over the rent in the prior year. The Company is to bear real estate taxes, utilities, maintenance, non-structural repairs and insurance. The new lease contains two three-year renewal options in favor of the Company. The Company believes that the terms of the lease are comparable to terms that would be obtained from an unaffiliated third party for similar property in a similar locale.
In fiscal 2006, the Company paid a law firm, in which a director is of counsel, $45,300 for legal services performed. In fiscal 2005, the Company paid that law firm and another law firm, in which the director at the time was of counsel, an aggregate of $81,500 for legal services performed.
Securities and Exchange Commission Financial Reporting Release No. 60 encourages all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect the significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Companys financial statements:
14
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, the carrying value of inventories and long-lived assets, the timing of revenue recognition for initial license and franchise fees from sales of franchise arrangements and continuing license and franchise service fees, as well as sales returns. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the recognition of revenues and expenses and the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts and Notes Receivable
Equipment and replacement parts are generally shipped FOB from the Companys warehouse or drop shipped FOB factory at which time risk of loss and title passes to the purchaser and the sale is recorded. Commissions and development fees are recorded when earned, generally when the services are performed or the transaction is closed. Individual franchise arrangements include a license and provide for payment of initial fees, as well as continuing royalties. Initial franchise fees are generally recorded upon the opening of the franchised store, which is evidenced by a certificate from the franchisee, indicating that the store has opened, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Continuing royalties represent regular contractual payments received for the use of the Dryclean USA marks, which are recognized as revenue when earned, generally on a straight line basis.
Accounts and trade notes receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells its products primarily to independent dryclean and laundry plants. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and depending on the term of credit, the amount of the credit granted and managements past history with a customer, the Company may require the debtor to pledge the purchased equipment as collateral for the receivable. Senior management reviews accounts and notes receivable on a regular basis to determine if any such amounts will potentially be uncollectible. The Company includes any balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve based on older aged amounts, in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off. Based on the information available to management, it believes the Companys allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2006 is adequate. However, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance.
Franchise License Trademark and Other Intangible Assets
The franchise license, trademark, patents and trade name are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Those assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated future periods to be benefited (10-15 years). The patents are amortized over the shorter of the patents useful life or legal life from the date such patents are granted. The Company reviews the recoverability of intangible assets based primarily upon an analysis of undiscounted cash flows from the intangible assets. In the event the expected future net cash flows should become less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss will be recorded in the period such determination is made, based on the fair value of the related assets.
15
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (Revised 2004) (SFAS 123(R)) Share-based payment. SFAS 123(R) will require compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards will be re-measured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. SFAS 123(R) replaces FASB 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. This guidance is effective as of the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005 for Small Business filers such as the Company. SFAS 123(R) does not affect the Company at the present time but may effect the Company if it issues share-based compensation in the future.
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No.151, Inventory Costs, which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Under this Statement, such items will be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, the Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This Statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 and must be applied prospectively. Adoption of this statement did not affect the Companys financial position or results of operations because the Company does not manufacture inventory.
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, which amends APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. The amendments made by SFAS 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Previously, Opinion 29 required that the accounting for an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset or an equivalent interest in the same or similar productive asset should be based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished. The provisions in SFAS 153 are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Adoption of this pronouncement did not affect the Companys financial position or results of operations.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections A Replacement of APB No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. Among other changes, SFAS 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a restatement. The new standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Early adoption of this standard is permitted for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after June 1, 2005. Adoption of this pronouncement did not affect the Company.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Board of Directors and
Shareholders
DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. and Subsidiaries:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company was not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Subsidiaries
Summary of Accounting
Policies
Nature of Business | DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the Company) sell commercial and industrial laundry and dry cleaning equipment, boilers and replacement parts; sell individual and area franchises under the DRYCLEAN USA name; and act as a business broker in connection with the purchase and sale of retail dry cleaning stores and coin laundries. |
The Company primarily sells to customers located in the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America. |
Principles of Consolidation | The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Revenue Recognition | Sales of products are generally shipped FOB origin and revenue is recorded as they are shipped. Shipping, delivering and handling fee income of approximately $581,000 and $303,000 for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, are included in revenues in the consolidated financial statements. Shipping, delivering and handling costs are included in cost of sales. Commissions and development fees are recorded when earned. Individual franchise arrangements include a license and provide for the payment of initial fees for the granting of the franchise. Royalty fees are generated for the use of the name DRYCLEAN USA®. Initial franchise fees are generally recorded upon the opening of the franchise store. Continuing royalty fees are recorded when earned. Royalty fees recognized in fiscal 2006 and 2005 were $241,382 and $223,350, respectively. |
Customer deposits represent primarily amounts received from customers for future delivery of equipment or services. In January 2005, the Company signed an exclusive license agreement with Whirlpool Corporation, licensing the use of the Companys patent technology on home appliances. Whirlpool Corporation paid to the Company $350,000, including $331,100 as a one time up front fee for the exclusive license, and is to pay royalties during the three year period following the introduction of Whirlpool Corporation manufactured products using the licensed technology. After this period, Whirlpool Corporation will retain a non-exclusive license and the Company is free to license its technology to other manufacturers. Unearned income represents the $331,100 fee for the exclusive license which is being amortized over 48 months, the life of the contract. At June 30, 2006, $206,937 remained to be amortized. |
Accounts and Trade Notes Receivable | Accounts and trade notes receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells its products primarily to independent drycleaning and laundry plants. The non-trade note receivable at June 30, 2005 represents the amount due from the sale of the telecommunications segment as further discussed in Note 13. As of November 2005, the non-trade note receivable was fully paid. The Company performs continuing credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and, depending on the terms of credit, the amount of the credit granted and managements history with a customer, the Company may require the customer to grant a security interest in the purchased equipment |

as collateral for the receivable. Senior management reviews accounts and notes receivable on a regular basis to determine if any such amounts will potentially be uncollectible. The Company includes any balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off. Based on the information available, management believes the Companys allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2006 and 2005 is adequate. However, actual write-offs might exceed the recorded allowance. |
Inventories | Inventories consist principally of equipment and spare parts. Equipment is valued at the lower of cost, determined on the specific identification method, or market. Spare parts are valued at the lower of average cost or market. |
Equipment, Improvements and Depreciation | Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization are calculated on accelerated and straight-line methods over lives of five to seven years for furniture and equipment and the lesser of ten years or the life of the lease for leasehold improvements for both financial reporting and income tax purposes, except that leasehold improvements are amortized over 31 years for income tax purposes. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. |
Asset Impairments | The Company accounts for long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell. The Company has provided $100,279 and $40,000 for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, against slow moving inventory. |
Income Taxes | The Company utilizes the asset and liability method wherein deferred taxes are recognized for differences between consolidated financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. |
Cash Equivalents | Cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. |
Estimates | The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and |

the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
Stock Based Compensation | The Companys 2000 Stock Option Plan and 1994 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan are the Companys only stock-based compensation plans. The 2000 Stock Option Plan authorizes the grant (until May 2, 2010) of options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Companys common stock to employees, directors and consultants, of which no options were outstanding on June 30, 2006 and 2005. The 1994 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan terminated as to future grants on August 23, 2004, but options to purchase 20,000 shares remain outstanding thereunder. |
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123(R)), utilizing the modified prospective approach. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company accounted for stock option grants under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, and, accordingly, recognized no compensation expense for stock option grants in net income. |
Under the modified prospective approach, SFAS 123(R) applies to new grants and to grants that were outstanding on December 31, 2005 to the extent not yet vested. Since no new options were granted during the years ended June 30, 2006 and all outstanding options were fully vested at December 31, 2005, no compensation cost for share-based payments was recognized under SFAS 123(R) during the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005. Prior periods are not required to be restated to reflect the impact of adopting the new standard. No compensation cost would have been recognized under the provisions of SFAS 123(R) had SFAS 123(R) been in effect as to the Company during any of the periods reported in this Report. |
Earnings Per Share | Basic earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive securities outstanding during each year. Securities having an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share are excluded from the calculations. |
Advertising Costs | The Company expenses the cost of advertising as of the first date the advertisement is run. The Company expensed approximately $132,000 and $145,000 of advertising costs for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
The Companys financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and trade notes receivable, lease receivables, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. Due to their relatively short-term nature or variable rates, the carrying amounts of such financial instruments, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, approximate their estimated fair value. Their estimated fair value is not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange or of future earnings or cash flows. |

Policies
Customer Deposits | Customer deposits represent advances paid by certain customers when placing orders for equipment with the Company. These deposits are generally non-refundable. |
Franchise License, Trademark and Other Intangible Assets |
Franchise license, trademark, and other intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. These assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated future periods to be benefited (10-15 years). Patents are amortized over the shorter of the patents useful life or legal life from the date such patent is granted. The Company reviews the recoverability of intangible assets based primarily upon an analysis of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the acquired assets. In the event the expected future net cash flows should become less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss will be recorded in the period such determination is made, based on the fair value of the related assets. |
New Accounting Pronouncements | In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123(R) which requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the financial statements. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost will be measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards will be re-measured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. SFAS 123(R) replaces FASB 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensationand supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.This guidance is effective as of the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2005 for Small Business filers such as the Company. SFAS 123(R) does not affect the Company at the present time but may affect share-based compensation in the future. |
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No.151, Inventory Costs, which clarifies the accounting for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material (spoilage). Under this Statement, such items will be recognized as current-period charges. In addition, the Statement requires that allocation of fixed production overheads to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This Statement is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005 and must be applied prospectively. Adoption of this statement did not affect the Companys financial position or results of operations because the Company does not manufacture inventory. |
In December 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets, which amends APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions. The amendments made by Statement 153 are based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. Further, the amendments eliminate the narrow exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replace it with a broader exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Previously, Opinion 29 required that the |

accounting for an exchange of a productive asset for a similar productive asset or an equivalent interest in the same or similar productive asset should be based on the recorded amount of the asset relinquished. The provisions in Statement 153 are effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Adoption of this pronouncement did not materially affect the Companys financial position or results of operations. |
In May 2005, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections A Replacement of APB No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. Among other changes, Statement 154 requires that a voluntary change in accounting principle be applied retrospectively with all prior period financial statements presented on the new accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to do so. Statement 154 also provides that (1) a change in method of depreciating or amortizing a long-lived nonfinancial asset be accounted for as a change in estimate (prospectively) that was effected by a change in accounting principle, and (2) correction of errors in previously issued financial statements should be termed a restatement. The new standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Adoption of this pronouncement did not affect the Company. |
Reclassification | Certain items in the 2005 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2006 presentation. |

5. Credit
Agreement and Term Loan |
The Company is a party to a bank loan agreement which provides the Company with a revolving credit facility of $2,250,000, including a $1,000,000 letter of credit subfacility and $250,000 foreign exchange subfacility. On October 28, 2004, the Loan Agreement was amended to eliminate the borrowing base restriction under the revolving credit facility, thereby enabling the Company to borrow up to the full $2,250,000 amount available under the facility regardless of the Companys levels of accounts receivable and inventories. On October 30, 2005, the Loan Agreement was amended to eliminate the requirement that 51% of the common stock of the Company be owned by the Steiner family or any Steiner Trust. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at 2.50% per annum above the Adjusted LIBOR Market Index Rate, are guaranteed by all of the Companys subsidiaries and are collateralized by substantially all of the Companys and its subsidiaries assets. The revolving credit facility matures October 30, 2006. At June 30, 2006 and 2005, there were no outstanding borrowings, letters of credit or foreign exchange contracts outstanding under the line of credit. The loan agreement requires maintenance of certain debt service coverage and leverage ratios and contains other restrictive covenants, including limitations on the extent to which the Company and its subsidiaries may incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, guarantee indebtedness of others, grant liens, sell assets and make investments. |
6. Related Party Transactions | The Company leases warehouse and office space from William Steiner, a principal shareholder of the Company under an operating lease. Annual rental expense under this lease was $90,700 in fiscal 2006 and $83,200 in fiscal 2005. |
The Company and the shareholder entered into a new lease for this facility on September 9, 2005 for a three-year period beginning November 1, 2005 at an annual rental of $94,500, with annual increases commencing November 1, 2006 of 3% over the rent in the prior year. The Company is to bear real estate taxes, utilities, maintenance, non-structural repairs and insurance. The new lease contains two three-year renewal options in favor of the Company. The Company believes that the terms of the lease are comparable to terms that would be obtained from an unaffiliated third party for similar property in a similar locale. |
In fiscal 2006, the Company paid a law firm, in which a director is of counsel, $45,300 for legal services performed. In fiscal 2005, the Company paid that law firm and another law firm in which the director at the time was of counsel an aggregate of $81,500 for legal services performed. |
7. Concentrations of Credit Risk | The Company places its excess cash in overnight deposits with a large national bank. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade and lease receivables is limited due to a large customer base. Based on the Companys credit evaluation, trade receivables may be collateralized by the equipment sold. |

8. Commitments | In addition to the warehouse and office space leased from a principal shareholder (see Note 6), the Company leases two additional office and warehouse facilities from unrelated third parties under operating leases expiring in March and December 2008, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, the Company is also obligated under two leases for future dry cleaning stores that aggregate $98,000 in annual base rent per year for the next five years. The Company anticipates assigning the latter two leases to dry cleaning franchisees or other customers when the leased facilities are available for occupancy. |
Minimum future rental commitments for leases in effect at June 30, 2006 approximates the following: |

As of June 30, 2006, the Company had no outstanding letters of credit. |
The Company, through its manufacturers, provides parts warranties for products sold. These warranties are the responsibility of the manufacturer. As such, warranty related expenses are insignificant to the consolidated financial statements. |
9. Deferred Compensation Plan | The Company has a participatory deferred compensation plan wherein it matches employee contributions up to 1% of an eligible employees yearly compensation. |
Employees are eligible to participate in the plan after one year of service. The Company contributed approximately $9,700 and $7,000 to the Plan during fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, respectively. The plan is tax deferred under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. |

September 27, 2004 | October 15, 2004 | November 1, 2004 | $.06 |
Beginning with the dividend declared on March 23, 2005, the Company changed from an annual to a semi-annual dividend schedule. |
On September 26, 2006, the Board of Directors declared a $.04 per share semi-annual dividend (or an aggregate of $281,378) payable on November 1, 2006 to shareholders of record on October 13, 2006. |
12. Stock Options | The Companys 2000 Stock Option Plan authorizes the grant (until May 2, 2010) of options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of the Companys common stock to employees, directors and consultants. The Company also has a 1994 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan which terminated as to future grants on August 23, 2004, but under which options to purchase 20,000 shares remain outstanding. |
Pursuant to the Companys 2000 Stock Option Plan, the Company may grant incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options. Options under the 2000 Stock Option Plan must be granted at an exercise price of at least |
32
DRYCLEAN USA, Inc. and

Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements
100% of the market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant, may have a maximum term of 10 years and are not transferable. However, incentive stock options granted to an individual owning more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock issued by the Company must have an exercise price of at least 110% of the fair market value of the Companys common stock on the date of the grant and may not have a term of more than five years. Incentive stock options granted under the 2000 Stock Option Plan are subject to the limitation that the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the date of grant) of those options which may first become exercisable in any calendar year cannot exceed $100,000. |
Generally, options granted to date have become exercisable, on a cumulative basis, as to one-fourth of the shares covered thereby on each of the first four anniversaries of grant. Generally, options terminate three months following termination of service (except generally one year in the case of termination of service by reason of death or disability). Options granted under the plans also terminate upon a merger in which the Company is not the surviving corporation or in which shareholders before the merger cease to own at least 50% of the combined voting power in the elections of directors of the surviving corporation, the sale of substantially all of the Companys assets or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company, unless another provision is made by the board of directors. |
Options under the 1994 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan have a term of 10 years, are not transferable and are exercisable at a price equal to 100% of the market value of the Companys common stock on the date of grant. Options under this plan are exercisable as to one-fourth of the shares covered thereby on each of the first four anniversaries of grant. Vesting accelerates upon a change of control of the Company (as defined in the Plan). Options terminate three months following termination of service (except one year in the case of termination of service by reason of death or disability). |
In April 2006 and August 2004, two directors each exercised options under the 1994 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan to purchase 10,000 shares of the Companys common stock at exercise prices of $.91 and $1.00 per share, respectively. |

13. Note Receivable | On July 31, 2002, the Company sold substantially all of the operating assets (principally inventory, equipment and intangible assets) of its Metro-Tel segment, which was engaged in the manufacture and sale of telephone test equipment. The purchase price was $800,000 which was payable $250,000 in cash and a $550,000 promissory note, bearing interest at prime + 1%, (7.25% at June 30, 2005) and payable monthly over 42 months commencing October 1, 2002. The promissory note is guaranteed by certain companies affiliated with the purchaser and the purchasers and the affiliates principal shareholders and is collateralized by the operating assets of the purchaser and the affiliated companies. The Company has agreed to subordinate payment of the promissory note, obligations of the affiliated companies of the purchaser under their guarantees and the collateral granted by the purchaser and the affiliated companies to the obligations of the purchaser and the affiliated companies to two bank lenders. The purchaser prepaid $50,000 of the note in 2003. The note was fully paid in November 2005. |
14. Segment Information |
The Companys reportable segments are strategic
businesses that offer different products and services. They are managed

Item 8. | Changes In and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure. |
Not applicable.
Item 8A. | Controls and Procedures. |
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management of the Company, with the participation of the Companys principal executive officer and the Companys principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on that evaluation, these officers concluded that, as of the date of their evaluation, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the Companys periodic filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including those officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in the companys periodic reports.
During the period covered by this Report, there were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
