PART I

Item 1. Description of Business.

(a) General Development of Business

The ROVAC Corporation ("the Company") is a Delaware corporation, which was organized in 1972 and has been involved in the research and development of a variety of mechanical devices. During 1996, the Company continued to be engaged in activities leading up to the manufacture and marketing of new type of mechanical pipe connectors. The Company's patented CinchLockâ pipe connectors consist of mechanical devices, which join pipes and joints of assorted size and shapes without glue or solder to permit the flow of fluid under different conditions and amounts of pressures. The Company plans to produce key CinchLockâ pipe connector components in its existing facilities in Rochdale, Massachusetts. The Company has only one business segment.

(b) Business of Issuer

During the fiscal year ending July 31, 1996, the Company received consulting fees from customers for field testing the Company's CinchLockâ pipe connectors pursuant to field testing contracts. One of the Company's potential customers successfully completed field testing of the CinchLockâ pipe connectors and the Company received favorable test results. The company also contacted and secured other potential customers to conduct field tests of CinchLockâ pipe connectors. At the close of the fiscal year, the Company was engaged in field testing with the several additional customers and, while there can be no assurance, the Company's management expects that all of the field testing results will be favorable and produce future sales.

During the fiscal year ending July 31, 1996, the Company completed the design of specialized tooling equipment to produce components for manufacturing CinchLockâ pipe connectors. The Company also acquired additional specialized tooling machinery to produce components of CinchLockâ pipe connectors in order to increase its capability of manufacturing a larger volume of components.

During 1996, ROVAC continued to explore the manufacturing and marketing of pipe coupling equipment. ROVAC produced and sold key CinchLockâ pipe connector components to customers for field testing. The Company continued to contact potential customers to enter into discussions for test marketing programs. ROVAC identified a number of markets for its CinchLockâ connectors and has supplied metal and plastic samples of the connectors to potential manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors for evaluation. The Company plans on producing key pipe connector components in its existing facilities in Rochdale, Massachusetts. The sources and availability of raw materials and the names of principal suppliers for components of the pipe connectors have been identified and management believes that adequate raw materials and suppliers are available.

At the end of the fiscal year, The ROVAC Corporation had three (3) employees who worked full time for the Company. The company has numerous domestic and foreign patents issued as well as a number of other patent applications pending for its CinchLockâ pipe connectors. The Company has a number of patents both pending and granted which cover the Company's technology.

Research and development expenses for the years ended July 31, 1996 and July 31, 1995 were

$41,516 and $32,373, respectively. This increase of $9143 is due to the Company's increased expenditures on research efforts and purchases of tooling and materials.

 

Item 2. Description of Property.

The Company's product development facilities and administrative offices are located in Rochdale, Massachusetts and occupy approximately 6,520 square feet. ROVAC rents the space which it occupies from its controlling shareholder, Stafford Industries, Inc., ("Stafford").

 

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

There are no pending or threatened legal proceedings against the Registrant.

 

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

None.

There is no trading market contemplated for the preferred shares and the conversion value of the preferred shares shall not exceed par value. The company, by action of its Board of Directors, may call or redeem the whole or any part of the Preferred Stock, at any time, or from time to time, at $100 per share plus a sum equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for redemption. In the event that the Board of Directors calls or redeems the whole or any part of the Preferred Stock, the Board shall be required to take such action on or within ten (10) years from issue.

 

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

(a) Plan of Operation

The Company's operations in the past several years have been focused on designing and developing its CinchLockâ pipe connectors. This activity has not generated significant revenues and the Company has been dependent on cash advances from licensing income and loans from officers of the Company to meet working capital and liquidity needs. There can be no assurance that officers of the Company will continue to provide loans and capital to the Company.

The Company continued to explore potential capital sources in order to continue its operations. The company has been involved in activities to obtain financing and capital sources in order to meet its working capital requirement needs so that it may implement the proposed CinchLockâ pipe connector project. The Company's preliminary financing plan includes securing working capital through an isolated sale of Common Stock to qualified investors in private placement. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to implement its financing plans.

During the fiscal year, the Company received limited revenues through initial sales of its CinchLockâ pipe connectors and field testing contracts. Management has been able to satisfy cash requirements in past years through isolated private placement of Common Stock and loans from the officers of the Company. The Company has been and remains dependent on receiving loans from officers in order to continue in business. However, there can be no assurance that such sources of funding will continue. At the close of and for the fiscal year ending on July 31, 1996, officers made net loans to the Company in the amount of $ 1,120. At the close and for the fiscal year ending on July 31, 1996, net advances from the affiliate increased by approximately $78,000.

(b) Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

(1) Results of Operations for the year ended July 31, 1996

General and Administrative Costs were $80,721 for the fiscal year ending July 31, 1996 compared to $219,120 for fiscal year 1995, a decrease of $138,399. The decrease of 63% was due primarily to reduced overhead. Research and Development Costs were $41,516 for fiscal year ending July 31, 1996 compared to $32,373 for fiscal 1995, an increase of $9,143. This increase is due to the Company's research efforts and purchases of tooling and materials.

(2) Results of Operation for the year ended July 31, 1995

General and Administrative Costs were $219,120 for fiscal 1995 compared to $260,556 in fiscal 1994, a decrease of $41,163. The decrease of 16% was due primarily to reduced overhead. Research and Development Costs were $32,373 for fiscal 1995 compared to $20,045 in fiscal 1994, an increase of $12,328. This increase was due to the Company's research efforts and purchases or tooling and materials.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

The ROVAC Corporation

 

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of The ROVAC Corporation as of July 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The ROVAC Corporation as of July 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency. These conditions raise substantial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from the outcome of this uncertainty.

THE ROVAC CORPORATION

Notes to Financial Statements

(1) Basis of Presentation

The ROVAC Corporation (Company) is a majority-owned subsidiary of Stafford Industries Inc. (Parent). The Parent owned approximately 57% of the Company at July 31, 1996 and 1995.

The Company was primarily a research and development firm engaged principally in designing, building and testing a number of products which reduce or eliminate the use of chloroflourocarbons through its patented low pressure rotating gas handling machine power technology. The Company is currently in a transition phase which will allow the introduction of some of its technology to reach commercial markets.

The Company's financial statements have been presented on a going concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has reported net losses of $220,100 and $344,450 for the years ended July 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. As a result, a stockholder's deficit of $1,790,778 was reported and the Company's current liabilities exceed its current assets by $1,857,516 at July 31, 1996. These conditions raise substantitial doubts about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

No significant revenues have been generated in the past two years. During this time the Company has been primarily dependent upon officer loans and advances from the Parent company to fund expenses. Continued operations of the Company are dependent upon the Company's ability to successfully secure customers for its new products and the ability to secure additional equity or debt financing. There can be no assurance that the Company's efforts will be successful.

The Company is pursuing a market for its new mechanical pipe connector. The Company's ability to recover the recorded amounts of its assets, particularly the unamortized cost of patents and patent applications of $51,557 is dependent on the success of its ventures.

">

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Property and equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight- line method over useful lives of two to ten years.

(b) Patent applications

Patent applications are stated at cost until a patent is granted, at which time the costs are amortized over the life of the patent. Patent applications subsequently determined to be not commercially feasible are charged to income at the time of such determination.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Income taxes

The Company follows FASB Statement No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necesary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

(d) Loss per share of common stock

Loss per share of common stock as computed is based on the weighted average of the number of shares outstanding and issuable during the years (39,882,819 in 1996 and 39,487,942 in 1995).

(3) Notes Payable - Officer

Notes payable to officer consist of several demand notes to an officer who is also a director and shareholder of the Company. The notes carry interest rates of 12%.

(4) Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses consist of:

1996 1995

Interest to officer $492,868 $412,709
