DXP ENTERPRISES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted. DXP Enterprises, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Company or “DXP”) believes that the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate to make the information not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all elimination entries and adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation
of the interim periods.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
NOTE 2: THE COMPANY
DXP, a Texas corporation, was incorporated on July 26, 1996 to be the successor to SEPCO Industries, Inc. “SEPCO”. The Company is organized into two segments: Maintenance, Repair and Operating “MRO” and Electrical Contractor.
NOTE 3: NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement does not require any new fair value measurements; rather, it applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. The provisions of this statement are to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this statement is initially applied, with any transition adjustment recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance
of retained earnings. The provisions of SFAS No. 157 are effective for the fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-2, which delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those years for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis
(at least annually). See Note 10 “Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities” for additional information on the adoption of SFAS 157.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at their fair values on the acquisition
date, with goodwill being the excess value over the net identifiable assets acquired. In addition, immediate expense recognition is required for transaction costs. SFAS 141(R) is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and adoption is prospective only. As such, if the Company enters into any business combinations after adoption of SFAS 141(R), a transaction may significantly affect the Company’s financial position and earnings, but, not cash flows,
compared to the Company’s past acquisitions.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (“SFAS 161”) SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of Statement 133 to provide a better
understanding of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for, and their effect on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 also requires disclosure of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, or the
Company’s quarter ended March 31, 2009. As this pronouncement is only disclosure-related, it does not and will not have an impact on the financial position and results of operations.
In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine
the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”). It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date.
Early adoption is not permitted. FSP FAS 142-3 also requires expanded disclosure related to the determination of useful lives for intangible assets and should be applied to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. The impact of FSP FAS 142-3 will depend on the size and nature of
acquisitions completed by the Company on or after January 1, 2009.
In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“FSP EITF 03-6-1”). FSP EITF 03-6-1 provides that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends
or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share using the two-class method. FSP EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retrospective basis and was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2009. The Company has granted awards of restricted stock that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends which are considered participating securities under FSP EITF 03-6-1. Because
these awards are participating securities under FSP EITF 03-6-1, the Company is required to include these instruments in the calculation of earnings per share using the two-class method. The adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 reduced basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009 by $0.1 and $0.1, respectively. Basic earnings per share, diluted earnings per share, weighted average common shares outstanding and weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding
for 2008 have been restated.
NOTE 4: STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock Options as of the Quarterly Period Ended March 31, 2009
No future grants will be made under the Company’s stock option plans. No grants of stock options have been made by the Company since July 1, 2005. As of March 31, 2009, all outstanding options were non-qualified stock options.

Restricted Stock.
Under the restricted stock plan approved by our shareholders in July 2005, (the “Restricted Stock Plan”) directors, consultants and employees may be awarded shares of DXP’s common stock. The shares of restricted stock granted to employees as of March 31, 2009 vest 20% each year for five years after the grant
date or 10% each year for ten years after the grant date. The Restricted Stock Plan provides that on each July 1 during the term of the plan each non-employee director of DXP will be granted the number of whole shares calculated by dividing $75,000 by the closing price of the common stock on such July 1. The shares of restricted stock granted to non-employee directors of DXP vest one year after the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock awards is measured based upon the closing prices
of DXP’s common stock on the grant dates and is recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period of the awards.
The following table provides certain information regarding the shares authorized and outstanding under the Restricted Stock Plan at March 31, 2009:

Unrecognized compensation expense under the Restricted Stock Plan was $2,930,000 and $3,092,000 at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. As of March

The $1.0 million increase in goodwill from December 31, 2008 to March 31, 2009 primarily results from a reduction in the value of acquired inventories for Rocky Mtn. Supply, Inc., which was acquired during 2008. Other intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight line basis over the useful lives of the assets. All
goodwill and other intangible assets pertain to the MRO segment.

NOTE 9: ACQUISITIONS
All of the Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Revenues and expenses of the acquired businesses have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on their respective dates of acquisition. The allocation of purchase price to the
acquired assets and liabilities is based on estimates of fair market value and may be prospectively revised if and when the Company obtains additional information concerning certain asset and liability valuations, provided that such information is received no later than one year after the date of acquisition.
On February 1, 2008, DXP completed the acquisition of the business of Rocky Mtn. Supply, Inc. DXP acquired this business to expand DXP’s geographic presence in Colorado. DXP paid approximately $4.6 million, net of acquired cash, for this business. The purchase price consisted of approximately $3.9 million paid
in cash and $0.7 million in seller notes. The seller notes bear interest at prime minus 1.75%. The cash portion was funded by utilizing available capacity under DXP’s credit facility.
On August 28, 2008, DXP completed the acquisition of PFI, LLC. DXP acquired this business to strengthen DXP’s expertise in the distribution of fasteners. DXP paid $66.4 million in cash for this business. The cash was funded by utilizing a new credit facility.
On December 1, 2008, DXP completed the acquisition of the business of Falcon Pump. DXP acquired this business to strengthen DXP’s pump offering in the Rocky Mountain area. DXP paid $3.1 million in cash, $0.8 million in seller notes and up to $1.0 million in future payments contingent upon future earnings of the
acquired business. The seller notes bear interest at ninety-day LIBOR plus 0.75%. The cash portion was funded using DXP’s credit facility.
The allocation of purchase price for all acquisitions completed since March 31, 2008 are preliminary in the December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheets. The initial purchase price allocations may be adjusted within one year of the purchase date for changes in the estimates of the fair value of assets acquired
(primarily inventories) and liabilities assumed. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed since March 31, 2008 in connection with the acquisitions described above (in thousands).

NOTE 10: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We adopted SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008 for financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. SFAS 157 applies to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-2, which delayed the effective date of SFAS 157 to
fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities. Fair value, as defined in SFAS 157, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 affects the fair value measurement of an interest rate swap, to which the Company is a party, which must be classified in one of the following categories:
Level 1 Inputs
These inputs come from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Inputs
These inputs are other than quoted prices that are observable for an asset or liability. This includes: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;
and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 Inputs
These are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability which require the Company’s own assumptions.
As required by SFAS 157, financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and
their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
The following table summarizes the valuation of our financial instruments by SFAS 157 input levels as of March 31, 2009 (in thousands):

To hedge a portion of our floating rate debt, as of January 10, 2008, DXP entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the lead bank of our Facility. Through January 11, 2010, this interest rate swap effectively fixes the interest rate on $40 million of floating rate LIBOR borrowings under the Facility at 3.68% plus the
margin (1.50% at March 31, 2009) in effect under the Facility. This swap is designated as a fair value hedging instrument. See Note 11 “Comprehensive Income” for gain and (loss) on the interest rate swap.
NOTE 11: COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Comprehensive income generally represents all changes in shareholders’ equity during the period, except those resulting from investments by, or distributions to, shareholders. The Company has comprehensive income related to changes in interest rates in connection with an interest rate swap, which is recorded as follows (in thousands):

|
Impact of Current Economic Conditions |
As with most businesses, our results of operations have been adversely impacted by current economic conditions. If economic conditions do not improve, we expect our results of operations will continue to be adversely impacted. We will continue to look for opportunities to reduce expenses and reduce debt.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2008
SALES. Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased $10.9 million, or 6.5%, to approximately $157.6 million from $168.5 million for the same period in 2008. Sales for the MRO Segment decreased $10.7 million, or 6.4%. Sales by businesses acquired in 2008, on a same store sales basis, accounted for $14.2 million of 2009
sales. Excluding these sales by the acquired businesses, sales for the MRO segment decreased 14.9%. This sales decrease is primarily due to a broad-based decrease in sales of pumps, bearings, safety products and mill supplies. Sales for the Electrical Contractor segment decreased by $0.2 million, or 24.1%, for the current quarter when compared to the same period in 2008 resulting from the decline in the economy. The sales decrease resulted from decreased sales of commodity and
specialty type electrical products.
GROSS PROFIT. Gross profit as a percentage of sales increased by approximately 1.9% for the first quarter of 2009, when compared to the same period in 2008. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the MRO segment increased to 29.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2009, from 27.2% in the comparable period of 2008. This
increase is primarily the result of increased gross profit as a percentage of sales on sales of fabricated pump packages, supply chain services and MRO products and services in 2009 as compared to 2008 combined with the effect of the three businesses acquired during 2008 having a higher gross profit percentage than the remainder of DXP. Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the Electrical Contractor segment decreased to 35.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 from 36.7% in the comparable
period of 2008. This decrease resulted from sales of higher margin specialty-type electrical products decreasing more than sales of commodity products decreased.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE. Selling, general and administrative expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 increased by approximately $4.0 million when compared to the same period in 2008. The increase consists of selling, general and administrative expenses of businesses acquired in 2008. Selling, general and administrative
expense associated with the three businesses acquired in 2008, on a same store basis, accounted for $4.4 million of the 2009 expense. As a percentage of revenue, the 2009 expense increased by approximately 4.0%, to 25.0%, from 21.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. This increase is primarily the result of sales decreasing more than selling, general and administrative expenses decreased on a same store sales basis.
OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the first three months of 2009 decreased 36.7% compared to the same period in 2008. Operating income for the MRO segment decreased 36.4% as a result of increased selling, general and administrative expense for businesses acquired in 2008, partially offset by a minimal increase
in gross profit. Operating income for the Electrical Contractor segment decreased 55.3% primarily as a result of decreased gross profit due to decreased sales.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 increased by 5.1% from the same period in 2008. This increase resulted from increased debt used to fund acquisitions completed in 2008, which was partially offset by decreased market interest rates on floating rate debt.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
General Overview
As a distributor of MRO products and Electrical Contractor products, we require significant amounts of working capital to fund inventories and accounts receivable. Additional cash is required for capital items such as information technology and warehouse equipment. We also require cash to pay our lease obligations and to service our debt.
We generated $21.8 million of cash in operating activities during the first three months of 2009 as compared to generating $2.0 million during the first three months of 2008. This change between the two periods was primarily attributable to a $19.1 million reduction in accounts receivable in the 2009 period compared to a $4.1 million increase
in accounts receivable in the 2008 period.
During the first three months of 2009, the amount available to be borrowed under our credit agreement with our bank lender (the “Facility”) increased from $37.0 million at December 31, 2008 to $45.7 million at March 31, 2009. This increase in availability primarily resulted from the $15.0 million reduction in the
amount outstanding under the line of credit portion of the Facility.
On August 28, 2008, DXP entered into the Facility with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as lead arranger and administrative agent for the lenders. The Facility consists of a $50 million term loan and a revolving credit facility that provides a $150 million line of credit to the Company. The term loan requires principal
payments of $2.5 million per quarter beginning on December 31, 2008. This Facility replaces the Company’s prior credit facility, which consisted of a $130 million revolving credit facility. The Facility expires on August 11, 2013 and contains financial covenants defining various financial measures and levels of these measures with which the Company must comply. Covenant compliance is assessed as of each quarter end and certain month ends for the asset test.
To hedge a portion of our floating rate debt, as of January 10, 2008, DXP entered into an interest rate swap agreement with the lead bank of our Facility. Through January 11, 2010, this interest rate swap effectively fixes the interest rate on $40 million of floating rate LIBOR borrowings under the Facility at 3.68% plus the
margin (1.50% at March 31, 2009) in effect under the Facility.
The Company’s borrowings under the revolving credit portion of the Facility and letters of credit outstanding under the Facility at each month-end must be less than an asset test measured as of the same month-end. The asset test is defined under the Facility
as the sum of 85% of the Company’s net accounts receivable, 60% of net inventory, and 50% of non real estate property and equipment. The Company’s borrowing and letter of credit capacity under the revolving credit portion of the Facility at any given time is $150 million less borrowings under the revolving credit portion of the facility and letters of credit outstanding, subject to the asset test described above.
The revolving credit portion of the Facility provides the option of interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 2.00% or prime plus a margin of 0.0% to 0.50%. On March 31, 2009, the LIBOR based rate on the revolving credit portion of the Facility was LIBOR plus 1.50%. On March 31, 2009 the prime based rate
on the revolving credit portion of the Facility was prime plus 0.0%. Commitment fees of 0.15% to 0.30% per annum are payable on the portion of the Facility capacity not in use for borrowings or letters of credit at any given time. At March 31, 2009, the commitment fee was 0.25%. The term loan provides the option of interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% or prime plus a margin of 0.50% to 1.00%. At March 31, 2009, the LIBOR based rate for the term
loan was LIBOR plus 2.25%. At March 31, 2009, the prime based rate for the term loan was prime plus 0.75%. At March 31, 2009, $140.0 million was borrowed under the Facility at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.2% under the LIBOR options, including the effect of the interest rate swap, and nothing was borrowed under the prime options under the Facility. Borrowings under the Facility are secured by all of the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory, general
intangibles and non real estate property and equipment. At March 31, 2009, we were in compliance with all covenants. At March 31, 2009, we had $45.7 million available for borrowing under the most restrictive covenant of the Facility.
The Facility’s principal financial covenants include:
Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio – The Facility requires that the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the 12 month period ending on the last day of each quarter be not less than 1.25 to 1.0, stepping up to 1.5 to 1.0 for the quarter ending December 31, 2009 and to 1.75 for the quarter
ending December 31, 2010, with “Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio” defined as the ratio of (a) EBITDA for the 12 months ending on such date minus cash taxes, minus Capital Expenditures for such period (excluding Acquisitions) to (b) the aggregate of interest expense, scheduled principal payments in respect of long-term debt and current portion of capital leases for such 12-month period, determined in each case on a consolidated basis for Borrower and its subsidiaries.
Leverage Ratio – The Facility requires that the Company’s Leverage Ratio, determined at the end of each fiscal quarter, not exceed 3.5 to 1.0 as of each quarter end, stepping down to 3.0 to 1.0 beginning the quarter ending December 31, 2009, and to 2.75 to 1.0
for the quarter ending December 31, 2010. Leverage Ratio is defined as the outstanding Indebtedness divided by EBITDA for the twelve months then ended. Indebtedness is defined under the Facility for financial covenant purposes as: a) all obligations of DXP for borrowed money including but not limited to senior bank debt, senior notes, and subordinated debt; b) capital leases; c) issued and outstanding letters of credit; and d) contingent obligations for funded indebtedness.
EBITDA as defined under the Facility for financial covenant purposes means, without duplication, for any period the consolidated net income (excluding any extraordinary gains or losses) of DXP plus, to the extent deducted in calculating consolidated net income, depreciation, amortization, other non-cash items and non-recurring items, interest
expense, and tax expense for taxes based on income and minus, to the extent added in calculating consolidated net income, any non-cash items and non-recurring items; provided that, if DXP acquires the equity interests or assets of any person during such period under circumstances permitted under the Facility, EBITDA shall be adjusted to give pro forma effect to such acquisition assuming that such transaction had occurred on the first day of such period and provided further that, if DXP divests the equity interests
or assets of any person during such period under circumstances permitted under this Facility, EBITDA shall be adjusted to give pro forma effect to such divestiture assuming that such transaction had occurred on the first day of such period. Add-backs allowed pursuant to Article 11, Regulation S-X, of the Securities Act of 1933 will also be included in the calculation of EBITDA.
The Leverage Ratio, which declines to 3.0 to 1.0 at December 31, 2009, is the most restrictive covenant at March 31, 2009 and was approximately 2.43 to 1.0 at March 31, 2009. EBITDA for the 12 months ended March 31, 2009 was approximately $11.6 million, or 23%, greater than the amount required to meet a 3.0 to 1.0 Leverage Ratio.

Accounts receivable days of sales outstanding were 48.9 days at March 31, 2009 compared to 47.2 days at March 31, 2008. The increase resulted primarily from a change in customer mix which resulted in slower collection of accounts receivable. Annualized inventory turns were 4.0 at March 31, 2009 and 5.6 at March 31,
2008. The decline in inventory turns primarily resulted from the inclusion of businesses acquired in 2008, which have lower inventory turns compared to the rest of DXP combined with the effect of first quarter 2009 sales declining more than inventory declined.
Funding Commitments
We believe our cash generated from operations and available under our Credit Facility will meet our normal working capital needs during the next twelve months. However, we may require additional debt or equity financing to fund potential acquisitions. Such additional financings may include additional bank debt or the public or
private sale of debt or equity securities. In connection with any such financing, we may issue securities that substantially dilute the interests of our shareholders. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on attractive terms, if at all.
Acquisitions
All of the Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Revenues and expenses of the acquired businesses have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements beginning on their respective dates of acquisition. The allocation of purchase price to the
acquired assets and liabilities is based on estimates of fair market value and may be prospectively revised if and when additional information the Company is awaiting concerning certain asset and liability valuations is obtained, provided that such information is received no later than one year after the date of acquisition.
On February 1, 2008, DXP completed the acquisition of the business of Rocky Mtn Supply, Inc. DXP acquired this business to expand DXP’s geographic presence in Colorado. DXP paid approximately $4.6 million, net of acquired cash, for this business. The purchase price consisted of approximately $3.9 million paid in
cash and $0.7 million in seller notes. The cash portion was funded by utilizing available capacity under DXP’s credit facility.
On August 28, 2008, DXP completed the acquisition of PFI, LLC. DXP acquired this business to strengthen DXP’s expertise in the distribution of fasteners. DXP paid $66.4 million in cash for this business. The purchase price was funded using the Facility.
On December 1, 2008, DXP completed the acquisition of the business of Falcon Pump. DXP acquired this business to strengthen DXP’s pump offering in the Rocky Mountain area. DXP paid $3.1 million in cash, $0.8 million in seller notes and up to $1.0 million in future payments contingent upon future earnings of the
acquired business. The cash portion was funded using the Facility.
The allocation of purchase price for all acquisitions completed since March 31, 2008 are preliminary in the March 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheets. The initial purchase price allocations may be adjusted within one year of the purchase date for changes in the estimates of the fair value of assets acquired (primarily inventories)
and liabilities assumed. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed since March 31, 2007 in connection with the acquisitions described above (in thousands).

DISCUSSION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The significant estimates made by us in the accompanying financial statements relate to reserves for accounts receivable collectability, inventory valuations, income taxes, self-insured liability claims and self-insured medical claims. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management periodically re-evaluates these estimates as events and circumstances change. Together with the effects of the matters discussed
above, these factors may significantly impact the Company’s results of operations from period-to-period.
Critical accounting policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial position and results of operations, and require management’s subjective or complex judgments. These policies have been discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of DXP. Below
is a discussion of what we believe are our critical accounting policies.
Revenue Recognition
For binding agreements to fabricate tangible assets to customer specifications, the Company recognizes revenues using the percentage of completion method. For other sales, the Company recognizes revenues when an agreement is in place, price is fixed, title for product passes to the customer or services have been provided and
collectability is reasonably assured. Revenues are recorded net of sales taxes. Revenues recognized include product sales and billings for freight and handling charges.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Provisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are made monthly and adjustments are made periodically (as circumstances warrant) based upon the expected collectability of all such accounts. Write-offs could be materially different from the reserve provided if economic conditions change or actual results deviate from historical
trends.
Inventory
Inventory consists principally of finished goods and is priced at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. Reserves are provided against inventory for estimated obsolescence based upon the aging of the inventory and market trends. Actual obsolescence
could be materially different from the reserve if economic conditions or market trends change significantly.
Self-insured Insurance Claims
We accrue for the estimated loss on self-insured liability claims. The accrual is adjusted quarterly based upon reported claims information. The actual cost could deviate from the recorded estimate.
Self-insured Medical Claims
We accrue for the estimated outstanding balance of unpaid medical claims for our employees and their dependents. The accrual is adjusted monthly based on recent claims experience. The actual claims could deviate from recent claims experience and be materially different from the reserve.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other intangible assets attributable to our reporting units are tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value. Significant estimates used in the determination of fair value include estimates of future cash flows, future growth rates, costs of capital and estimates
of market multiples. As required under current accounting standards, we test for impairment annually at year end unless factors otherwise indicate that impairment may have occurred. We did not have any impairments under the provisions of SFAS No. 142 as of December 31, 2008.
Purchase Accounting
The Company estimates the fair value of assets, including property, machinery and equipment and their related useful lives and salvage values, and liabilities when allocating the purchase price of an acquisition.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities. Such deferred income tax asset and liability computations are based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to periods in which the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation
allowances are established to reduce deferred income tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.
ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Our market risk results from volatility in interest rates. Our exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to our debt portfolio. Using floating interest rate debt outstanding at March 31, 2009, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in approximately a $1,451,000 change in annual interest expense.
ITEM 4: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) was evaluated by our management with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer,
David R. Little (principal executive officer), and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Mac McConnell (principal financial officer). As a result of the evaluation, Messrs. Little and McConnell have concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2009. Messrs. Little and McConnell have concluded that the material weakness that was identified as of December 31, 2008 and discussed in Item 9A of our Amendment No. 2 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A
for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the SEC on February 2, 2010, continued to exist as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A. That material weakness resulted from the Company’s failure to maintain an effective general computer control environment. The following areas of general computer controls were found to be deficient in design as adequate documentation was not maintained for testing purposes:
|
1. |
Security and access to key financial spreadsheets |
|
2. |
Access to and segregation of duties in key financial applications |
|
3. |
Backup and recovery of financial data |
|
4. |
Systems development and change management |
As a result of the ineffective general computer environment, the purchasing, accounts payable, inventory, fixed assets, revenue and payroll processes which are highly dependent on automated controls were found to be deficient in design and therefore ineffective.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, although the Company began work on remediation efforts during the three months ended
March 31, 2009, which were completed prior to the end of 2009. During the fourth quarter of 2009, the control structures between DXP and a significant business acquired in September of 2007 were standardized, including the migration of a large portion of the acquired business’s systems onto the legacy DXP computer systems. This standardization of control structures, along with improved maintenance of internal control documentation and the testing of general computer controls before
the end of 2009 were expected to prevent a recurrence of the material weakness identified at December 31, 2008.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
No material developments have occurred in the asbestos related litigation or the litigation with BP America Production Company disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
