NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2000 AND 1999
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements are unaudited, but have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and in the opinion of management contain all the
necessary adjustments for the fair presentation of the satement of
results of operations of the interim period.
Business
The Company is in the business of acquiring businesses with the
goal of building well-run, independent subsidiaries who have solid
market niches.
Until June 1, 1995, the Company operated a chain of seafood
restaurants (Cami s The Seafood Place) primarily in South Florida
(Dade and Broward counties). On that date, the Company licensed its
operations of the restaurants to an independent operator. On June
30 ,2000, the Company sold the license to CamFam, Inc. (see note
14).
On February 25, 1999, the Company, through a wholly-owned
subsidiary, acquired substantially all the assets of John Ziner
Lumber Limited, an Ontario Corporation involved in the distribution
and remanufacturing of lumber (See note 14).
On February 3, 2000, the Company through a wholly owned subsidiary
purchased 100% of the outstanding shares of 471372 Ontario Limited,
which was doing business as Harron Home Hardware ( Harron ). Harron
is a wholesale distributor of lumber and is located in Moorefield,
Ontario. Harron also sells hardware and building supplies. Prior to
the acquisition, Harron was a dealer for Home Hardware, a Canadian
hardware retailer. Harron Home Hardware changed its name to Harron
Hardware and Building Supplies upon being acquired by Network.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant
intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
VALUE HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2000 AND 1999
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reported
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Estimates that are particularly susceptible to change in the near
term include the evaluation of the recoverability of goodwill and
other intangible assets.
Inventory
Inventory is primarily composed of raw materials and is stated at
the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for major
betterment and additions are charged to the asset accounts, while
replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not extend the lives
of the respective assets are charged to expense in the period the
costs are incurred.
Cost in Excess of Net Assets of Businesses Acquired
Cost in excess of net assets of businesses acquired ( goodwill )
represents the unamortized excess of the cost of acquiring a
business over the fair value of the identifiable net assets
received at the date of acquisition, and is primarily from the
acquisition of the assets of John Ziner Lumber Limited and Harron
Home Hardware. Such goodwill is being amortized on the
straight-line method over a period of 20 years.
It is the Company s policy to evaluate the recoverability of
goodwill and other intangible and long-lived assets on a periodic
basis, based primarily on estimated future net cash flows generated
by the assets giving rise to the goodwill, intangibles and other
long-lived assets, and the estimated recoverable values of these
assets. Such estimated future net cash flows take into
consideration management s plans with regard to future operations
(See Note 2), and represent management s best estimate of expected
future results. In the opinion of management, the results of the
projected future operations are considered adequate to recover the
Company s investment in goodwill and other long-lived assets.
VALUE HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2000 AND 1999
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets, mainly acquisition costs, are stated at cost and
are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated
useful lives of 3 years.
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities are considered as available for sale and
reflected at market value on the cOmpany's statements.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the 1999 consolidated statements have been
reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Translation of Foreign Currency
The accounts of the Company's Canadian subsidiary are translated in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52
( Foreign Currency Translation ), which require that foreign
currency assets and liabilities be translated using the average
exchange rates prevailing throughout the period. The effect of
unrealized exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign
currency assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars are accumulated
as the cumulative translation adjustment in shareholders' equity.
Realized gains and losses from foreign currency translations are
included in income for the period. Fluctuations arising from
intercompany transactions that are of a long term nature are
accumulated as part of the cumulative translation adjustments.
Net Income Per Common Share
Net Income per common share has been computed based on the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the periods.
