PART I

 

Item 1.  Description of Business

 

We, Arbor EnTech Corporation, are a Delaware corporation organized in 1980 under the name Arbor Energy Corporation.  Our name change was effected in 1984.

 

Until September 2, 2003, we engaged in the production and wholesale distribution of wood products for home use, principally fireplace wood and garden stakes.  Our products were packaged in and distributed from our facility in Little Marsh, Pennsylvania.

 

Substantially all of our products were sold to The Home Depot, Inc. for resale at its retail outlets. We informed Home Depot that we would no longer do business with that company due to increased difficulties in transacting business with Home Depot on a profitable basis.  We stated to Home Deport that these difficulties included Home Depot’s prohibition against price increases despite increases in our costs of production, a diminution in the Home Depot territories we were allowed to sell product to, and Home Depot’s demands regarding returns of ordered products that we were unwilling to accede to for economic reasons.  As a result, on September 2, 2003, we discontinued our wood products business.

 

At present, we our seeking other business opportunities, but there can be no assurance that such opportunities will be identified, engaged in, or result in any profits.

 

We currently have no employees. Mr. Shefts, one of our three officers, devotes a small portion of his time to us.

 

Since the sale of our real estate, we have no principal executive office.  We utilize a mailing address of PO Box 656, Tuxedo Park, New York 10987. We utilize a telephone number at Mr. Shefts’ Office.  Our telephone number is (201) 782-9237.

 

Item 2.  Description of Properties

 

We owned 102 acres of property in Little Marsh, Pennsylvania.  There is a wood packaging facility located on the property.  The facility consists of an enclosed structure of 17,000 square feet, with a 7,000 foot outdoor overhang and another 10,000 foot outdoor overhang.  Approximately 12 acres of the property were devoted to our work area and the remaining 90 acres are forest land.  The real property was mortgaged to Mark Shefts, our Secretary/Treasurer and one of our directors, to secure a credit line.  Mr. Shefts extended to us in the amount of $100,000.   We sold the property to an unaffiliated party on July 20, 2005.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

 

We are not presently a party to any material litigation.

 

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

PART II

 

Item 5.  Market for Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Small Business Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.

 

(a)                                  Marketing Information — The principal U.S. market in which our common stock, all of which are of one class, is traded or may trade is in the over-the-counter market.  The stock is quoted on the Electronic Bulletin Board of the OTC market, under the symbol “ARBE.OB”  Our stock is not traded or quoted on any automated quotation system.

 

The following table sets forth, for the fiscal quarters indicated during the last two fiscal years, the high and low bid quotations of our common stock. The quotations reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down, or commission and may not represent actual transactions. The market for the common stock has been sporadic and there have been long periods during which there were few, if any, transactions in the common stock and no reported quotations.  Accordingly, reliance should not be placed on the quotes listed below, as the trades and depth of the market may be limited, and therefore, such quotes may not be a true indication of the current market value of our common stock, especially in light of our current business inactivity.

 

THE LAST REPORTED SALE OF COMPANY COMMON STOCK WAS ON MARCH 29, 2005.  TRADING PRIOR THERETO WAS EXTREMELY LIMITED.  ACCORDINGLY, THE FOLLOWING PRICES SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN AS AN ACCURATE INDICATION OF THE MARKET VALUE OF THE COMPANY’S COMMON STOCK.

Statements contained in this report which are not historical fact are “forward-looking statements” that involve various important assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. These important factors include, without limitation, competitive factors and pricing pressures, changes in legal and regulatory requirements, technological change or difficulties, product development risks, commercialization and trade difficulties and general economic conditions, as well as other risks previously disclosed in our securities filings and press releases.

General

 

We were a wood products company that had been in business since 1980. Our business fluctuated over the years. We were almost wholly dependent on sales to The Home Depot, Inc. As discussed below in “Discontinued Operations,” on September 2, 2003, we discontinued our wood products business.

 

At present, we our seeking other business opportunities, but there can be no assurance that such opportunities will be identified, engaged in, or result in any profits.

 

Fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 compared to the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004

 

Since we discontinued our wood products business, there were no sales from continuing operations during the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $41,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005, a decrease of approximately $241,000 or 85% over selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $282,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is a result of our discontinued operations of our wood products business.

 

Our net loss decreased from approximately $357,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004 to net income of approximately $146,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005. This $503,000 change resulted from the both the discontinuance of ongoing expenses during a period

when we had no operating revenues and the gain from the sale of our real estate of approximately $186,000.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

On September 2, 2003, we informed Home Depot that we would no longer do business with that company due to increased difficulties in transacting business with Home Depot on a profitable basis.  We stated to Home Deport that these difficulties included Home Depot’s prohibition against price increases despite increases in our costs of production, a diminution in the Home Depot territories we were allowed to sell product to, and Home Depot’s demands regarding returns of ordered products that we were unwilling to accede to for economic reasons.  As a result, on September 2, 2003, we discontinued our wood products business.

 

The sale of our real estate resulted in a gain of approximately $186,000 for the year ended April 30, 2005.

 

Net sales of the wood products business were approximately $139,000 for the year ended April 30, 2004. The net income (loss) from discontinued operations was $(103,000) for the year ended April 30, 2004.

 

Liquidity and capital resources

 

In the prior periods discussed above, our working capital requirements were met primarily from sales generated by our discontinued wood products business. At April 30, 2005, we had working capital of approximately $484,000.

 

As at April 30, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $285,000, which represented 49% of total assets. We believe we have adequate working capital to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.

 

On July 20, 2005, we closed on the sale of our real property located in Little Marsh, Pennsylvania and realized net proceeds of approximately $214,000.  This amount was reported as a receivable at April 30, 2005 because we entered into the contract of sale on April 15, 2005.

 

Net cash used in operating activities amounted to approximately $(42,000) for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005.  This was primarily attributable to the loss from continuing operation of approximately $40,000.

 

Net cash used by financing activities was $38,000 for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2005 as a result of related party loan repayments of $1,020,000, offset by dividend payments of $1,058,000.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

 

We do not have any transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements that constitute off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Application Of Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. Critical accounting policies for use of estimates, accounting for stock-based compensation and environmental remediation costs.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Item 8A.  Controls and Procedures.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, which have been designed to permit us to effectively identify and timely disclose important information. They concluded that the controls and procedures were effective as of April 30, 2005 to ensure that material information was accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the quarter ended April 30, 2005, we have made no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

Arbor EnTech Corporation

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Arbor EnTech Corporation as of April 30, 2005, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2005.  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 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  Also, 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 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 Arbor EnTech Corporation as of April 30, 2005, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended April 30, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

ARBOR ENTECH CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 -                Nature of Business

 

Arbor EnTech Corporation (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation that engaged in the production and wholesale distribution of wood products for home use, principally fireplace wood and garden stakes.  The Company’s products were produced, packaged in and distributed from its facility in Little Marsh, Pennsylvania.  The products were delivered by independent truckers to customer locations in the Northeastern United States.  On September 22, 2003, the Company discontinued its wood products business.  The Company is seeking other business opportunities but has not yet identified any such opportunity.

 

NOTE 2 -                Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less at time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is stated at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets which approximated 15 and 31 years.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred where as major betterments and renewals are capitalized.  Depreciation expense was $1,149 and $4,487 for the years ended April 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales were recorded as products are shipped.  The Company uses the accrual method of accounting.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under such method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect at the balance sheet date.  The resulting asset or liability is adjusted to reflect enacted changes in tax law.  Future tax benefits attributable to temporary differences are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.

 

F-7



 

Loss Per Common Share

 

The computation of earnings (loss) per share of common stock is computed by dividing income (loss) for the year by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during that period.  Since the Company has no common stock equivalents, diluted earnings (loss) per share is the same as basic earnings (loss) per share.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, which consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable, approximate their carrying amounts reported due to their short-term nature.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentration of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents.  At times, such amounts are in excess of the FDIC insurance limits.

 

NOTE 3 -                Notes Receivable – Related Parties

 

Notes receivable from related parties consisted of amounts due from two affiliated companies.  As of April 30, 2004, these loans were reclassified from reductions of stockholders’ equity to current assets since they were repaid in full in May 2004.  Although the loans carried interest, such interest was not recorded as income for financial statement purposes but as additional contributed capital.  The notes were payable in equal annual installments of $108,789 and interest on the notes was payable semi-annually.  Notes in the amounts of $1,019,850 were paid in full in May 2004.

NOTE 5 -                Commitments and Contingencies

 

Line of Credit

 

The Company had a revolving credit facility with its Secretary/Treasurer, secured by a mortgage on the Company’s real property located in Tioga County, Pennsylvania.  This revolving line of credit provided for the extension of credit in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000 with interest at 11% per annum.  Principal and interest are payable on demand.  There was no outstanding balance due at April 30, 2005 on this credit facility.  The credit facility terminated in July 2005.

 

NOTE 6 -                Discontinued Operations

 

On September 2, 2003, the Company informed The Home Depot, Inc., the customer that purchased more than 99 percent of the Company’s wood products, that the Company would no longer do business with Home Depot due to increased difficulties in transacting business with Home Depot on a profitable basis.  The Company stated to Home Depot that these difficulties included Home Depot’s prohibition against price increases despite increases in the Company’s increased costs of production, a diminution in the Home Depot territories the Company was allowed to sell products to, and Home Depot’s demands regarding returns of ordered products that the Company was unwilling to accede to for economic reasons.

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board’s SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment of long-lived assets and for long-lived assets to be disposed of.  SFAS No. 144 supersedes SFAS No. 121, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of,” retains the fundamental provisions of Statement 121 for (a) recognition and measurement of the impairment of long-lived assets to be held and used and (b) measurement of long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale.  SFAS 144 also supersedes the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30, “Reporting and Results of Operations – Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and transactions,” for segments of a business to be disposed of, but retains the requirement of Opinion 30 to report discontinued operations separately from continuing operations and extends that reporting to a component of an entity that either has been disposed of (by sale, by abandonment, or in a distribution to owners) or is classified as held for sale.

 

The Company has discontinued its wood products business.  Consequently, the accompanying financial statements reflect the wood products business as discontinued operations in accordance with SFAS No. 144.

 

On July 20, 2005 the Company closed on the sale of real property located in Tioga County, Pennsylvania pursuant to a contract entered into on April 15, 2005.  The Company recognized a gain of $185,820 from the sale.

The Company paid $54,220 in administrative fees to a Company owned by two of its significant stockholders during the year ended April 30, 2004.
