PART I.





Item 1.Business





General





Colonial Commercial Corp. (“Colonial”) is a New York corporation which was incorporated on October 28, 1964.  Unless otherwise indicated, the term “Company” refers to Colonial Commercial Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries.  The Company’s operations are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Universal Supply Group, Inc. (“Universal”), The RAL Supply Group, Inc. (“RAL”), and S&A Supply, Inc (“S&A”).  We distribute heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment (HVAC), parts and accessories, climate control systems, appliances, and plumbing and electrical fixtures and supplies, primarily in New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts and portions of eastern Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Vermont.





We supply the Amana air conditioning and heating equipment line in New Jersey (exclusive of Cape May and Cumberland counties), lower portions of New York State, and Western Massachusetts.  At all our locations we also supply, on a non-exclusive basis, the Goodman line of heating and air conditioning equipment, Fraser-Johnston commercial air conditioning equipment, and Johnson Controls’ Source 1 HVAC Service Parts. We distribute these products through seven sales locations in New Jersey, nine in New York State, two in Massachusetts and one location in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania.  We also have an additional location in New Jersey that we use for warehousing purposes only. We use showrooms for the display and sale of kitchen, bathroom and electrical fixtures and accessories at our locations in Fishkill, Middletown, New Windsor and Suffern, New York and Great Barrington and Pittsfield, Massachusetts.





We have developed a specialty in the design and sale of energy conservation control systems and the fabrication of customized UL listed control panels.  We also supply indoor air quality components and systems.





Our in-house staff provides technical assistance and training to customers.  In some cases, we also use vendors’ representatives and outside services. We do not install any equipment or systems.





We distribute appliances, such as washers and dryers, to appliance dealers primarily in New York, New Jersey, and portions of Connecticut, Delaware and Pennsylvania.





Our business is affected by significant outdoor temperature swings. Our sales typically increase during peak heating and cooling demand periods.  Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is highest in the second and third quarters, while demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the fourth quarter.





In 2009, 2008 and 2007, approximately 85% of our sales were for replacement and/or renovation and the remaining 15% of sales were for new construction projects.  In the same years, respectively, sales consisted of approximately 39%, 38% and 42% HVAC equipment; 35%, 37% and 39% parts and accessories; and 13%, 14% and 15% climate control systems.





We own no patents and have no intellectual property rights or proprietary technology.





We carry general liability, comprehensive property damage, workers compensation and product liability insurance in amounts that we consider adequate for our business.  We maintain $2,000,000 in the aggregate and $1,000,000 per occurrence general liability coverage, plus a $15,000,000 umbrella policy.





No material regulatory requirements apply specifically to our business.

 Table of Contents


As of December 31, 2009, we had 166 non-union full-time employees.  We believe that our employee relations are satisfactory.





We have no foreign operations and have only one operating segment.





Our objective is to become a leading provider of building products, such as HVAC, plumbing and electrical equipment and accessories to the professional contractor in the northeastern United States by expanding our product offerings and increasing our customer technical and logistical support services.





Distribution, Customers and Suppliers





We stock inventory in 20 of our locations and utilize public warehousing, when necessary.  We deliver products to customers with our fleet of 16 leased and 22 owned trucks and vans.  We also make products available for pick-up at our facilities.





We sell primarily to contractors who purchase and install equipment and systems for residential, commercial and industrial users.  We had approximately 7,600 customers in 2009.  No customer accounted for more than 3% of consolidated net sales in 2009.  We believe that the loss of any one customer would not have a material adverse effect on our business.  We have no long term agreement with any customer.





We deal with our customers on a purchase order by purchase order basis.





We purchase inventory from our vendors and maintain this inventory in our warehouses to meet purchasing requirements and ensure continuous availability of merchandise to satisfy our customers’ needs.  We occasionally accept the return of merchandise from the customer when returned in unopened cartons, subject to a restocking fee.  We do not normally provide extended payment terms to customers.  We have no material long term agreements with any supplier.  The Company enters into agreements with vendors which involve volume rebates, pricing and advertising, all within the standard practices of the industry.  Additionally, certain supplier agreements limit the sale of competitive products in designated markets that the Company serves.  All purchases are made with domestic vendors, some of which, however, may manufacture products in foreign locations.





Certain of our supplier agreements limit the sale of competitive products in designated markets that we serve.





In 2009, two suppliers accounted for 33% of our purchases.  The loss of one or both of these suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our business for at least a short-term period.  We believe that the loss of any one of our other suppliers would not have a material adverse effect on our business.





Competition





We compete with a number of distributors, national chains and national home centers, and also with several air conditioning and heating equipment manufacturers that distribute a significant portion of their products through their own distribution organizations.  There is no single manufacturer, distributor or national chain or home center that dominates our market.  Competition is based on product availability, customer service, price and quality. We work to maintain a competitive edge by providing in-house training, technical sales support to our customers and by employing experienced personnel at our point-of-sale locations.

We are also subject to regulations concerning the transport of hazardous materials, including regulations adopted pursuant to the Motor Carrier Safety Act of 1990.  Our operations are also subject to health and safety requirements including the Occupational, Safety and Health Act (OSHA).

Item 3.Legal Proceedings





(a)
Universal Supply Group, Inc.





Universal Supply Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a New York corporation (“Universal”).  On June 25, 1999, Universal acquired substantially all of the assets of Universal Supply Group, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, including its name, pursuant to the terms of a purchase agreement.  The Company filed a copy of the purchase agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 1999 as Exhibit 10(g) on Form 10KSB, and the Company filed a copy of an amendment to the purchase agreement on July 9, 1999 as Exhibit 10(a)(ii) on Form 8-K.  Subsequent to the acquisition, Universal Supply Group, Inc. (the selling corporation) formerly known as Universal Engineering Co., Inc., changed its name to Hilco, Inc.  Hilco, Inc. acquired the assets of Amber Supply Co., Inc., formerly known as Amber Oil Burner Supply Co., Inc., in 1998, prior to Hilco’s sale of assets to Universal.  Hilco, Inc. is hereinafter referred to as the “Universal Predecessor.”  The majority shareholders of Hilco, Inc. were John A. Hildebrandt and Paul Hildebrandt.





The Company understands that the Universal Predecessor and many other companies have been sued in the Superior Court of New Jersey (Middlesex County) by plaintiffs filing lawsuits alleging injury due to asbestos. As of December 31, 2009, there exist 9 plaintiffs in these lawsuits relating to alleged sales of asbestos products, or products containing asbestos, by the Universal Predecessor.  Subsequent to December 31, 2009, 6 plaintiffs have had their actions dismissed and 1 plaintiff filed an action, which results in 4 remaining plaintiffs in these lawsuits. The Company never sold any asbestos related products.





Of the existing plaintiffs as of December 31, 2009, 2 filed actions in 2009, 3 filed actions in 2007, 1 filed an action in 2006, 1 filed an action in 2005, and 2 filed actions in 2004. There are 201 other plaintiffs that have had their actions dismissed and 15 other plaintiffs that have settled as of December 31, 2009 for a total of $3,360,500. There has been no judgment against the Universal Predecessor.





Our Universal subsidiary was named by 36 plaintiffs; of these, 11 filed actions in 2007, 6 filed actions in 2006, 11 filed actions in 2005, 5 filed actions in 2001, 1 filed an action in 2000, and 2 filed actions in 1999.  Thirty plaintiffs naming Universal have had their actions dismissed and, of the total $3,360,500 of settled actions, 3 plaintiffs naming Universal have settled for $27,500.  No money was paid by Universal in connection with any settlement.  Following these dismissed and settled actions there exists 3 plaintiffs that name Universal as of December 31, 2009.





As set forth in more detail below, the Company has been indemnified against asbestos-based claims, and insurance companies are defending the interests of the Universal Predecessor and the Company in these cases.





Based on advice of counsel, the Company believes that none of the litigation that was brought against the Company’s Universal subsidiary through December 31, 2009 is material, and that the only material litigation that was brought against the Universal Predecessor through that date was Rhodes v. A.O. Smith Corporation, filed on April 26, 2004 in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Middlesex County, Docket Number MID-L-2979-04AS. The Company was advised that the Rhodes case was settled for $3,250,000 (“Settlement”) under an agreement reached in connection with a $10,000,000 jury verdict that was rendered on August 5, 2005. The Company was not a defendant in the Rhodes case.

 Table of Contents


The Company believes that Rhodes differed from the other lawsuits in that plaintiff established that he contracted mesothelioma as a result of his occupational exposure to asbestos dust and fibers and that a predecessor of the Company was a major supplier of the asbestos containing products that allegedly caused his disease.





i.
Indemnification





John A. Hildebrandt, Paul Hildebrandt and the Universal Predecessor have jointly and severally agreed to indemnify our Universal subsidiary from and against any and all damages, liabilities and claims due to exposure to asbestos at any time prior to the June 25, 1999 closing of the purchase agreement referred to earlier.  These agreements are set forth in the purchase agreement. Paul Hildebrandt, one of the indemnitors, was a Director of the Company from September 29, 2004 to January 28, 2005.





The indemnitors may use their own counsel to defend these claims. The indemnitors are not liable for any settlement effected without their consent. The indemnitors may settle and pay money claims without the consent of the Company. There is no indemnification unless claims aggregate $50,000; once this trigger point is reached, indemnification is required for all claims, including the first $50,000, but excluding claims of less than $10,000. The indemnification requirement survives at least until 30 days after the running of any relevant statutes of limitation.





The obligation of the indemnitors is joint and several, so that the Company can have recourse against any one or more of these indemnitors, whether or not any other indemnitor has previously defaulted on its obligation to us. There are no other limitations to our rights to indemnification.  The Company cannot be certain that the indemnitors have the financial wherewithal to meet their obligations to indemnify the Company.





ii.
Insurance





The assets that the Universal Predecessor sold to us included its insurance policies and other agreements and contracts. The policies provide coverage for liability accruing during the periods for which premiums were paid.  The Universal Predecessor was formed in 1940. Copies of policies are available for each year beginning in 1970 and ending with the closing under the purchase agreement in 1999. Copies of policies for the period from 1940 to 1969 are not available.





Insurance companies acknowledge coverage for potential asbestos claims under certain of these policies.  Insurance companies under additional policies have reserved their right to deny coverage but have continued to defend and indemnify the Universal Predecessor and the Company under the contested policies.





There are periods during the years from 1940 to 1999 in which our Universal Predecessor did not have coverage for potential asbestos claims.  Subject to litigation, insurance companies may maintain that the existence of these periods’ results in coverage for only a portion of a particular injury that varies with the period during which there was asbestos coverage relating to the injury, and that the balance of any settlement or judgment is to be paid by the insured.  As of December 31, 2009, no insurance company has claimed any contribution for a gap in coverage except for a claim for $160 made by one insurance company to the Universal Predecessor in 1995.  The Universal Predecessor asserted that it had no obligation to pay this amount and did not make any payment.





Insurance companies have, as of December 31, 2009, defended us and the Universal Predecessor, and have paid all settlement amounts and defense costs.  Except for $160 referred to above, the insurance companies have not requested any payments from us or from the Universal Predecessor.

 Table of Contents


Our Universal subsidiary has not engaged in the sale of asbestos products since its formation in 1997. Its product liability policies for all years since 1998 exclude asbestos claims.





(b)
The RAL Supply Group, Inc.





The RAL Supply Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a New York corporation (“RAL”), formerly known as RAL Purchasing Corp.  On September 30, 2003, RAL acquired substantially all of the assets of The RAL Supply Group, Inc., formerly known as The LAR Acquisition Corp., also a New York corporation, including its name, pursuant to the terms of a purchase agreement.  The Company filed a copy of the purchase agreement (“RAL APA”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 15, 2003 as Exhibit 10(a)(i) on Form 8-K.  Subsequent to the acquisition, The RAL Supply Group, Inc. (the selling corporation) changed its name to RSG, Inc. RSG, Inc. is hereinafter referred to as the “RAL Predecessor.”





The RAL Predecessor acquired certain assets from Dyson-Kissner-Moran Corporation (“RSG Predecessor”) in 1993, prior to the RAL Predecessor’s sale of assets to RAL.





Our RAL subsidiary and other companies had been sued in the Supreme Court of New York (Orange County) by a plaintiff filing a lawsuit on or about July 30, 2008 alleging injury due to asbestos.





The RAL Predecessor agreed in the RAL APA to indemnify and hold harmless our RAL subsidiary from and against, among other things, damages that relate to products sold or manufactured or services performed or other actions taken or omitted by the RAL Predecessor prior to the closing of the acquisition.  The Company cannot be certain that the indemnitor has the financial wherewithal to meet its obligations to indemnify the Company.





On September 10, 2009, this plaintiff had its action dismissed.  The lawsuit alleged injury due to asbestos during the 1970’s, prior to RAL Predecessor’s acquisition of assets from the RSG Predecessor and RAL’s acquisition of assets from the RAL Predecessor. The Company never sold any asbestos related products.





(c)
General





Regardless of indemnification and insurance coverage, we do not in any event consider our Company to be liable for the asbestos-based lawsuits that name us or for any other claim that arises as a result of actions or omissions by the Universal Predecessor or RAL Predecessor companies. We expressly disclaimed the assumption of any liabilities when we purchased the assets of the Universal Predecessor and RAL Predecessor. It is our opinion that the existing asbestos litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.  Nevertheless, we could be materially and adversely affected if we are held liable for substantial asbestos claims or if the Company incurs substantial legal or settlement costs. This material and adverse effect would occur if indemnitors fail to honor their indemnification agreements and insurance is not available either because policy limits are exceeded, or because insurance companies successfully deny coverage or claim limitations on their liabilities by reason of gaps in coverage or otherwise.





Since we regard as remote the potential payment of any asbestos-based claim, we have not accrued any balance for any period relating to asbestos claims, and we have not recorded any amount for asbestos claims for any period in any of our financial statements.

 Table of Contents


(d)
Other Litigation





The Company is periodically involved in other litigation in the ordinary course of business.  The Company vigorously defends all matters in which the Company or its subsidiaries are named defendants and, for insurable losses, maintains significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments.  Although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage or the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe the ultimate liability associated with any claims or litigation will have a material impact to its financial condition or results of operations.

We begin Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Colonial Commercial Corp. and subsidiaries with a discussion of the “Critical Accounting Policies” that we believe are important to understanding the assumptions and judgments incorporated into our reported financial results which we discuss under “Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2009 with Year Ended December 31, 2008.”  Within “Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2009 with Year Ended December 31, 2008,” the term “same-store locations” is defined as the portion of the Company’s operations that conducted business throughout each of the years ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008.  Same-store locations may include the addition of new products as well as the deletion of products previously sold at these locations.  We then provide an analysis of cash flows, and discuss our financial commitments under “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” followed by “Equity Transactions,” and the “Impact of Inflation and Seasonality” on the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements





The following material contains forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance and business prospects. When used in this Report, the words “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “may,” “intends” and similar expressions are intended to be among the statements that identify forward-looking statements.  From time to time, the Company may also publish forward-looking statements.  The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements.  Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the consummation of certain events referred to in this report, the availability of financing, technological changes, competitive factors, maintaining customer and vendor relationships, inventory obsolescence and availability, and other risks detailed in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which could cause the Company’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements.





Critical Accounting Policies





The accounting policies below are critical to the Company’s business operations and the understanding of results of operations. The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of asset and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.





Revenue for the Company primarily consists of sales of heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, climate control systems and plumbing and electrical fixtures and supplies. Revenue is recognized when the earnings process is complete, which is generally upon shipment or delivery of products, and the price is determined and collectability is reasonably assured, in accordance with agreed-upon shipping terms and when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer.  The Company has no further obligations subsequent to shipment or delivery.  Customers have the right to return defective products, which are substantially covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.  The customer receives a credit from the Company for defective products returned and the Company receives a corresponding credit provided by the manufacturer.  The only warranty provided on products sold is the one provided by the manufacturer.





The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company establishes and monitors the allowance for doubtful accounts based on the credit risk of specific customers, customer concentrations, historical trends and other information. The Company had accounts receivable of $9,468,123, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $619,740, as of December 31, 2009.  Although the Company believes its allowance is sufficient, if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.

The Company writes down its inventories for estimated slow moving and obsolete goods in accordance with the lower of cost or market value, based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. A significant sudden increase in the demand for the Company’s products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of inventory purchases, while a significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory quantities on-hand. Additionally, the Company’s estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case the Company may have understated or overstated the write-down required for excess and obsolete inventory.





Goodwill and other intangibles are reviewed at least annually for impairment.  In assessing the recoverability of the Company’s goodwill and other intangibles, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities of the reporting unit.  If the Company’s estimates or its related assumptions change, the Company may be required to record impairment charges related to its goodwill or other intangibles.





The Company has accounted for, and currently accounts for, income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes.  This statement establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes that result from an enterprise’s activities during the current and preceding years.   The realization of future tax benefits of deductible temporary differences and operating loss or tax credit carryforwards will depend on whether the Company will have sufficient taxable income of an appropriate character within the carryback and carryforward period permitted by the tax law to allow for utilization of the deductible amounts and carryforwards. Without sufficient taxable income to offset the deductible amounts and carryforwards, the related tax benefits will expire unused. The Company evaluates both positive and negative evidence in making a determination as to whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.  Management reviewed the gross deferred tax asset and determined that it is more likely than not that such assets would not be recognized in the near future. As a result, the valuation allowance was increased by $470,000 as of September 30, 2009 and increased again by $530,000 as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s net deferred tax asset was reduced to zero.





Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2009 with Year Ended December 31, 2008





Sales decreased by 8.8%, or $7,522,011, to $78,084,503 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $85,606,514 for the same period in 2008. The decline reflects a general economic slowdown, and an associated decline in both residential and commercial construction and renovations.





Gross profit decreased by 16.6%, or $4,133,045, to $20,834,619 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $24,967,664 for the same period in 2008.  The decline in gross profit was directly caused by lower sales, price reductions, and reduced cash discounts taken on purchases.  Gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales decreased to 26.7% in 2009 compared to 29.2% for the comparable period in 2008.  The decrease in gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales were primarily caused by price reductions, reduced cash discounts taken on purchases, and the results of a more competitive marketplace, along with a sales increase of commercial equipment which sells at lower gross profit margins. Cost of sales excludes the distribution costs of incoming freight, purchasing, receiving, inspection, warehousing and handling costs, as these costs are included in our selling, general and administrative expenses.  Our gross margins may not be comparable to those of other entities since some entities include these distribution costs in the cost of sales.  These distribution costs were $505,535 and $545,509 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 9.6%, or $2,335,235, to $22,052,613 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $24,387,848 for the same period in 2008.  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expense is primarily related to a reduction in payroll and benefit costs in the amount of $1,707,178, a reduction in vehicle costs in the amount of $204,396, a reduction in bad debt expense in the amount of $196,773, and a reduction in depreciation and amortization in the amount of $147,601, partially offset by costs in the amount of $273,023 related to the Company’s tender offer that was completed on October 20, 2009 (see “Equity Transactions”) and $236,500 in costs in connection with the Third and Fourth Amendment to the Credit and Security Agreement with the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells”).





The Company incurred a non-cash charge to intangible assets, including customer lists and trade name of our S&A subsidiary, in the amount of $309,900, as a result of an assessment of S&A’s present business condition at the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The Company also incurred a non-cash charge in the amount of $211,204, which reflects the impairment of our RAL subsidiary’s goodwill.





As a result of previously discussed items, operating income decreased by $2,318,914, to an operating loss of $1,739,098 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from operating income of $579,816 for the same period in 2008.





Net interest expense decreased by 31.1%, or $358,495, to $795,251 for the year ended December 31, 2009 from $1,153,746 for the same period in 2008.  The net interest expense decrease is primarily the result of decreased borrowings under the credit facility and a reduction in the interest rate of the Company’s credit facility from an average rate of 4.8% for the year ended December 31, 2008 to an average rate of 3.4% for the year ended December 31, 2009. As a result of an increase in the interest rate of the Company’s credit facility, as discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources below, the Company expects its interest expense to increase in 2010.





The Company’s income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $1,049,073 compared to $715,850 for the same period in 2008. The Company recorded a net deferred federal income tax expense of $1,000,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 based on the Company’s evaluation of the realizability of its deferred tax asset. The Company records state income tax expense based on year-to-date profit of the Company and its subsidiaries and records federal alternative minimum tax expense as the Company utilizes its net operating loss carryforwards to offset any federal taxes due.  Comparison of the Company’s effective tax rate from period to period may not be consistent as the Company’s subsidiaries file separate state tax returns and the Company files a consolidated federal return.  State taxes vary with the profit of the Company and its separate subsidiaries, while federal taxes are based upon the consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries.





The Company’s net loss increased by $2,335,556, to a net loss of $3,343,696 for the year ended December 31, 2009, compared to a net loss of $1,008,140 for the same period in 2008.  The increase in net loss is primarily the result of a decrease in gross margins in the amount of $4,133,045, an expense based on the Company’s revaluation of its deferred tax asset in the amount of $1,000,000, a non-cash charge to intangible assets in the amount of $309,900, a non-cash charge to goodwill in the amount of $211,204, offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expense in the amount of $2,335,235, and a decrease in interest expense in the amount $358,495.

Liquidity and Capital Resources





Credit Facility





As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a secured credit facility (“Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells”) in the amount of $25 million which expires August 1, 2012.  The $25 million credit facility included a $1 million structural sublimit, as defined in the Agreement, payable in 24 equal monthly installments, and up to $500,000 of seasonal over-advances.  Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company, as defined in the Agreement.





Pursuant to a Fourth Amendment to the Credit and Security Agreement, dated March 4, 2010 (“Fourth Amendment”), the Company’s facility was decreased from $25 million to $20 million, the inventory sublimit was decreased from $13,500,000 to $9,000,000, with an inventory advance rate equal to the lesser of (a) 57% of cost or fair market value or (b) 100% of liquidation value of the eligible inventory, decreased the letter of credit sublimit from $500,000 to $250,000 and increased seasonal overadvances in 2010 from $500,000 to $1,000,000.  The amendment also increased the interest rate under the facility from prime plus 1.25% to three month LIBOR (as defined) plus 4.5%.





Goodman Company, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (“Goodman”) is a supplier to the Company. In connection with the Fourth Amendment, Wells and Goodman entered into an Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement dated March 4, 2010 (the "Subordination Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, Goodman on March 24, 2010 converted $2 million of 2010 purchases then owed to it by Universal into a secured term note (the “Note”) that accrues interest payable monthly at the lesser of the highest lawful rate allowed or 8% per annum and is payable in monthly principal installments over a two-year period beginning September 24, 2010. If the Company defaults on its scheduled principal or interest payments, the interest on such default payments will be increased to as much as 18%. The amounts owed to Goodman at December 31, 2009 were paid to them in January 2010. The Subordination Agreement also sets forth among other things the relative priorities of the security interests of Wells and Goodman in the assets of the Company.





In connection with the Fourth Amendment the Company also extended from January 1, 2010 to January 1, 2011 the maturity date of notes held by Goldman Associates of New York, Inc. (“Goldman Associates”), William Pagano, and Rita Folger in the respective principal amounts of $750,000, $100,000 and $100,000. Michael Goldman is the president and majority shareholder of Goldman Associates and is the Chairman of the Board of the Company. Mr. Pagano is the Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company.





Availability under the credit facility was $220,971 as of December 31, 2009 and is determined by a percentage of available assets as defined in the Agreement, less reserves. Availability as of February 28, 2010 under the revised terms in effect March 4, 2010, would have been approximately $850,000.





Reserves, determined by the bank, reduce the availability of the credit facility by $171,000.  The balance outstanding under the credit facility was $13,090,666 as of December 31, 2009.





The Company believes that the credit facility is sufficient to finance its current operating needs. The business of the Company will be materially and adversely affected if the bank substantially reduces the amount of the credit availability under the terms of the loan or the bank demands payment of the loan and the Company is unable to refinance the loan, or if liquidity is otherwise substantially reduced.

 Table of Contents


In the event that Mr. Pagano no longer performs the duties of the President of Universal or the Vice President of RAL for any reason other than death or disability, the Company will be considered in default of its credit agreement with Wells unless a waiver is obtained.  The credit facility contains covenants that are determined annually and compliance is required on a quarterly basis as it relates to net income, cash flows, tangible net worth, and annual capital expenditures.  The credit facility also restricts the payment of dividends, subordinated debt and purchase of securities.  The continuation of the credit facility is conditioned upon the Company and Wells reaching agreement on the covenants.  While the Company and Wells have reached mutually agreeable covenants in the past, there is no assurance that they will be able to do so in the future. As of December 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial loan covenants.





As of December 31, 2009, the Company had $746,629 in cash compared with $417,387 at December 31, 2008.





Net cash provided by operating activities was $861,279 for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The net cash provided by operating activities for the 2009 period is primarily a result of non-cash charges of $2,690,183 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1,514,792, offset by a net loss of $3,343,696. The increase in accounts receivable of $1,204,802 is primarily related to increased sales volume in December 2009 compared to December 2008 and slightly slower payments by customers.  The decrease in inventory of $2,117,623 is primarily related to tighter controls on inventory and lower sales volume for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to the year ended December 31, 2008.





Cash flows used in investing activities were $136,510 during the year ended December 31, 2009, due to purchases of equipment in the amount of $180,326, offset by proceeds from disposal of property and equipment in the amount of $43,816.





Cash flows used in financing activities of $395,527 for the year ended December 31, 2009 consisted of $73,198 in net repayments under the credit facility-revolving credit, $291,014 for repayments of notes payable, repayments of notes payable in the amount of $283,805 related to the tender offer referred to under “Equity Transactions” and the repurchase of preferred stock in the amount of $193,543, offset by the issuance of notes payable in the amount of $446,033 related to the tender offer,





Equity Transactions





In October, 2009 the Company purchased and retired 154,834 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock in a tender offer at $1.25 per share. As of December 31, 2009, the number of convertible preferred shares outstanding was 293,057. The Company accounted for these transactions utilizing the constructive retirement method.





Impact of Inflation, Deflation and Seasonality





To date, the effect of inflation or deflation has had a minor impact on the Company’s operations causing limited price increases in certain product lines. The Company’s business is affected by significant outdoor temperature swings.  Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is highest in the second and third quarters with demand for heating equipment usually highest in the fourth quarter.

Item 9A.Controls and Procedures





Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures





Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.  In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.





Based on management’s evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our disclosure controls and procedures are designed at a reasonable assurance level and are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.





Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting





A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.





Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2009. Management reviewed the results of their assessment with our Audit Committee.

Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.





Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting





We regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment.  Changes may include such activities as implementing new, more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.





There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM








To the Board of Directors and Stockholders


Colonial Commercial Corp.





We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Colonial Commercial Corp. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years then ended.  Our audit also included the financial statement schedule – Valuation and Qualifying Accounts – listed in the index at Item 15. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits include 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 Company's 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, and 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 consolidated financial position of Colonial Commercial Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  Also in our opinion, the financial statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

December 31, 2009 and 2008





1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices





(a) Description of Business





Colonial Commercial Corp. (“Colonial”), through its operating subsidiaries, Universal Supply Group, Inc. (“Universal”), The RAL Supply Group, Inc. (“RAL”), and S&A Supply, Inc. (“S&A”) (together, the “Company”), is a distributor of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), climate control products, plumbing and electrical fixtures and supplies and appliances to building contractors and other users, which the Company considers its only operating segment.  The Company’s products are marketed primarily to HVAC, plumbing and electrical contractors, who, in turn, sell such products to residential and commercial/industrial customers.  The Company’s customers are located in the United States, primarily New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts and portions of eastern Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Vermont.  The Company has no long term agreement with any customer.  The Company deals with its customers on a purchase order by purchase order basis.  The Company has no material long term agreements with any supplier.  The Company enters into agreements with vendors which involve volume rebates, pricing and advertising, all within the standard practices of the industry.  Additionally, certain supplier agreements limit the sale of competitive products in designated markets that the Company serves.  All purchases are made with domestic vendors, some of which, however, may manufacture products in foreign locations.





(b) Basis of Presentation





The Company incurred net losses of $3,343,696 and $1,008,140 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.  At December 31, 2009, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $8,611,973 and working capital of $533,459.  The Company’s credit facility provides that financial covenants are to be determined on an annual basis by agreement between the Company and its lender and compliance is required on a quarterly basis.  During 2009, the Company was in default of its quarterly net income, quarterly cash flow and quarterly tangible net worth covenants and the lender waived these events of default.  As described in Note 4, the credit facility was amended in March 2010 whereby the Company and the lender agreed on the financial covenants for the period through December 31, 2010 and certain borrowing limits and interest rates were modified. Based on the Company’s business plan, credit facility available and the subordinated promissory note issued to a major vendor, management of the Company believes that it has sufficient resources to meet its working capital needs for the next twelve months.  While the Company and the lender have reached mutually agreeable covenants in the past, there can be no assurance that they will be able to do so in the future.  If agreement on the covenants is not reached, or the Company fails to achieve the agreed upon covenants, the lender may exercise its rights under the credit agreement to terminate the credit agreement and require repayment of the Company’s outstanding borrowings.  If this were to occur, the Company would pursue alternative financing arrangements but there can be no assurance that financing would be available on acceptable terms, or at all.





(c) Principles of Consolidation





The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Colonial and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


F-7
 Table of Contents


COLONIAL COMMERCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued








(d) Revenue Recognition





Revenue is recognized when the earnings process is complete, which is generally upon shipment or delivery of products, and the price is determined and collectability is reasonably assured, in accordance with agreed-upon shipping terms and when title and risk of loss transfers to the customer.  The Company has no further obligations subsequent to shipment or delivery.  Customers have the right to return defective products, which are substantially covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.  The customer receives a credit from the Company for defective products returned and the Company receives a corresponding credit provided by the manufacturer.  The only warranty provided on products sold is the one provided by the manufacturer.





(e) Cash Equivalents





The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2009 and 2008.





(f) Accounts Receivable





Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables recorded at original invoice amount, less an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus trade receivables generally do not bear interest. However, a service charge may be applied to receivables that are past due. These charges, when collected, are included as other income.  Trade receivables are periodically evaluated for collectability based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectability of trade receivables are recorded in the results of operations for the period in which the estimate is revised. Trade receivables that are deemed uncollectible are offset against the allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables.





(g) Inventory





Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and consists solely of finished goods.  Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.





Distribution costs of incoming freight, purchasing, receiving, inspection, warehousing and handling costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.  Such costs were $505,535 and $545,509 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.





The Company’s reserve for slow-moving and obsolete inventory at December 31, 2009 amounted to $501,000, an increase of $98,000 during the year ended December 31, 2009.





(h) Vendor Rebates





The Company has arrangements with several vendors that provide rebates to be payable to the Company when the Company achieves any of a number of measures, generally related to the volume level of purchases.  The Company accounts for such rebates as a reduction of inventory until the sale of the product.  Rebates under arrangements with vendors that require a specified cumulative level of purchases are recognized by the Company based on progress toward achieving such levels, provided the rebates are probable and estimable.

(i) Property and Equipment





Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:





Computer hardware and software
3-5 yearsFurniture and fixtures
5 yearsAutomobiles
3-5 yearsShowroom fixtures and displays
3 years





Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.





(j) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets





Goodwill and other intangibles are reviewed at least annually for impairment.  In assessing the recoverability of the Company’s goodwill and other intangibles, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Goodwill is recorded when the purchase price paid for an acquisition exceeds the estimated fair value of the net identified tangible and intangible assets acquired.  The impairment review process compares the fair value of the reporting unit in which goodwill resides to its carrying value.  If the fair value of the reporting unit is less that its carrying value, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent that the implied fair value.  Intangible assets determined to have finite lives are amortized over their remaining useful lives.  The Company has determined Universal, RAL and S&A are reporting units.





As a result of an assessment of S&A’s business condition at the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a non-cash charge in the amount of $309,900 which reflects the impairment of S&A’s client list and trade name.





As a result of an assessment of RAL’s present and future business condition as of December 31, 2009, the Company determined the fair value of RAL’s equity was lower than the carrying amount, measured the impairment, and concluded the total amount of the recorded goodwill on RAL’s books is impaired. As a result, the Company recorded a non-cash charge in the amount of $211,204 which reflects the impairment of the RAL’s net goodwill amount.





As a result of the Company’s annual impairment test, as of December 31, 2009, there was no indication of impairment for goodwill for Universal. Goodwill and other intangible assets amounting to $1,416,929 and $2,500 at December 31, 2009, respectively, consist of assets arising from acquisitions.





(k) Stock Options





The Company recognizes equity based compensation expense in accordance with established standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This standard requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award.

(l) Net Loss Per Common Share





Basic income per share excludes any dilution.  It is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Dilutive earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.





(m) Income Taxes





The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. The realization of future tax benefits of deductible temporary differences and operating loss or tax credit carryforwards will depend on whether the Company will have sufficient taxable income of an appropriate character within the carryback and carryforward period permitted by the tax law to allow for utilization of the deductible amounts and carryforwards. Without sufficient taxable income to offset the deductible amounts and carryforwards, the related tax benefits will expire unused. The Company evaluates both positive and negative evidence in making a determination as to whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Management reviewed the gross deferred tax asset and determined that it is more likely than not that such assets would not be recognized in the near future. As a result, the valuation allowance was increased by $470,000 as of September 30, 2009 and increased again by $530,000 as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance and the net deferred tax asset was reduced to zero.





The Company has adopted the provisions that tax positions must meet a “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized.  The adoption of this accounting guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position and did not result in unrecognized tax benefits being recorded. When an accrual for interest and penalties is required, interest and penalties will be recognized in tax expense.  The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states. There are currently no federal income tax examinations in process, however, one of the Company’s subsidiaries is under examination for income, sales and use tax in the State of New Jersey.  The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by the Internal Revenue Service and state and local tax authorities for tax years prior to 2003.  The Company does, however, have prior year net operating losses dating back to 2000, which are subject to examination.





(n) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of





Long-lived assets, such as intangible assets, furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements, are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets.  When any such impairment exists, the related assets will be written down to fair value.





(o) Use of Estimates





The preparation of the financial statements in accordance 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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Significant estimates include valuation reserves for accounts receivable, inventory, income taxes, valuation of goodwill and the impairment of long lived assets.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(p) Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements





In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance that defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. However, in February 2008, the FASB delayed the effective date of the new accounting guidance for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until January 1, 2009. The adoption of this new accounting guidance for our nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.





In December 2007, the FASB amended its guidance on accounting for business combinations. This standard requires that entities recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies and contingent consideration measured at their fair value at the acquisition date for any business combination consummated after the effective date.  It further requires that acquisition-related costs are to be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be applied prospectively for acquisitions beginning in 2009 and thereafter. The guidance had no impact on the Company’s financial statements since there were no acquisitions in 2009.





In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries.  This guidance requires that the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be clearly identified, labeled, and presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, in the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest on the face of the consolidated statement of income, and that entities provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners.  This guidance is effective for fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and cannot be applied earlier.  The Company has no noncontrolling interest in any entities and therefore this guidance had no impact on the Company’s financial position.





In April 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to the determination of the useful life of intangible assets. This guidance amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. The intent of this guidance is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset. This guidance was adopted as of January 1, 2009 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.





In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting and disclosure guidance related to interim disclosures about fair value of financial instruments. This guidance requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements and requires those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. This guidance was adopted as of June 1, 2009, and did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued








In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance establishing a new hierarchy of GAAP sources for non-governmental entities under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and will supersede all accounting standards in U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. This guidance is effective for all financial statements issued for the interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this codification does not change or alter existing GAAP and, therefore, has not had any impact on the Company’s financial statements.





In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance regarding subsequent events, which established general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued and became effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. In February 2010, the FASB amended the guidance and removed the contradictions between the requirements of U.S. GAAP and the SEC filing rules. As a result, public companies will no longer have to disclose the date of evaluations of subsequent events in both issued and revised financial statements. The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance which did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.





(q) Reclassification





The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to confirm to the current year presentation.

4. Financing Arrangement





As of December 31, 2009, the Company had a secured credit facility (“Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells”) in the amount of $25 million which expires August 1, 2012.  The $25 million credit facility included a $1 million structural sublimit, as defined in the Agreement, payable in 24 equal monthly installments, and up to $500,000 of seasonal over-advances.  Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by substantially all the assets of the Company, as defined in the Agreement.





Pursuant to a Fourth Amendment to the Credit and Security Agreement, dated March 4, 2010 (“Fourth Amendment”), the Company’s facility was decreased from $25 million to $20 million, the inventory sublimit was decreased from $13,500,000 to $9,000,000 with an inventory advance rate equal to the lesser of (a) 57% of cost or fair market value or (b) 100% of liquidation value of the eligible inventory, decreased the letter of credit sublimit from $500,000 to $250,000 and increased seasonal overadvances in 2010 from $500,000 to $1,000,000.  The amendment also increased the interest rate under the facility from prime plus 1.25% to three month LIBOR (as defined) plus 4.5%.





Goodman Company, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (“Goodman”) is a supplier to the Company. In connection with the Fourth Amendment, Wells and Goodman entered into an Amended and Restated Subordination Agreement dated March 4, 2010 (the "Subordination Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, Goodman on March 24, 2010 converted $2 million of 2010 purchases then owed to it by Universal into a secured term note (the “Note”) that accrues interest payable monthly at the lesser of the highest lawful rate allowed or 8% per annum and is payable in monthly principal installments over a two-year period beginning September 24, 2010. If the Company defaults on its scheduled principal or interest payments, the interest on such default payments will be increased to as much as 18%. The amounts owed to Goodman at December 31, 2009 were paid to them in January 2010. The Subordination Agreement also sets forth among other things the relative priorities of the security interests of Wells and Goodman in the assets of the Company.





Availability under the credit facility was $220,971 as of December 31, 2009 and is determined by a percentage of available assets as defined in the Agreement, less reserves. Availability as of February 28, 2010 under the revised terms in effect March 4, 2010, would have been approximately $850,000.





Reserves, determined by the bank, reduce the availability of the credit facility by $171,000.  The balance outstanding under the credit facility was $13,090,666 as of December 31, 2009.

The Company believes that the credit facility is sufficient to finance its current operating needs. The business of the Company will be materially and adversely affected if the bank substantially reduces the amount of the credit availability under the terms of the loan or the bank demands payment of the loan and the Company is unable to refinance the loan, or if liquidity is otherwise substantially reduced.





In the event that Mr. Pagano no longer performs the duties of the President of Universal or the Vice President of RAL for any reason other than death or disability, the Company will be considered in default of its credit agreement with Wells unless a waiver is obtained.  The credit facility contains covenants that are determined annually and compliance is required on a quarterly basis as it relates to net income, cash flows, tangible net worth, and annual capital expenditures.  The credit facility also restricts the payment of dividends, subordinated debt and purchase of securities.  The continuation of the credit facility is conditioned upon the Company and Wells reaching agreement on the covenants.  While the Company and Wells have reached mutually agreeable covenants in the past, there is no assurance that they will be able to do so in the future. As of December 31, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial loan covenants.

6. Capital Stock





Each share of the Company’s convertible preferred stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock.  Convertible preferred stockholders will be entitled to a dividend, based upon a formula, when and if any dividends are declared on the Company’s common stock.  The convertible preferred stock is redeemable, at the option of the Company, at $7.50 per share.  The shares contain a liquidation preference provision entitling the holder to receive payments equaling $5.00 per share.





The voting rights of the common stockholders and preferred stockholders are based upon the number of shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding.  The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Board of Directors is to consist of one class of Directors if there are less than 600,000 shares Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding.  As of December 31, 2009, the number of preferred shares outstanding was 293,057; accordingly, the Board of Directors to be elected at the 2010 annual shareholders’ meeting will consist of one class of Directors elected by the holders of common stock and convertible preferred stock voting together as one class on a share for share basis.





At December 31, 2009, there were 434,723 shares of common stock reserved for conversion of preferred stock and for the exercise of vested stock options and convertible notes.





Messrs. Goldman, Korn, Pagano, Rozzi, and Mrs. Folger each signed a stock purchase and sale Standstill Agreement dated June 21, 2004 in which they agreed until May 31, 2008 not to purchase any stock without written consent from the Company and they will not sell any stock to anyone when such a sale would create a new 5% shareholder unless such person first enters into a similar standstill agreement.  On November 2, 2007, the Company terminated said Standstill Agreements.





7.Equity Transactions





During the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, no shares were issued pursuant to the exercise of stock options.





During the year ended December 31, 2009, no shares of redeemable preferred stock were converted into shares of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2008, 17,423 shares of redeemable preferred stock were converted into 17,423 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the number of convertible preferred shares outstanding was 293,057 and 447,891, respectively.





2009 Tender Offer





On August 20, 2009, the Company offered to purchase any and all shares of its convertible preferred stock at $1.25 per share. The purpose of this tender offer was to reduce the number of holders of record of convertible preferred stock in order to permit the Company to deregister the convertible preferred stock along with the common stock. Deregistration would result in the Company no longer being a Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") reporting company. The Company continues currently as an SEC reporting company because there are currently more than 300 holders of record of convertible preferred stock.

The tender offer was to expire on September 22, 2009; however, on September 23, 2009 the Company extended the expiration date of the tender offer to October 6, 2009 and on October 7, 2009 the Company again extended the expiration date of the tender offer to October 20, 2009.





Through October 20, 2009, 154,834 shares of convertible preferred stock were tendered by shareholders under the tender offer and subsequently retired by the Company. The Company accounted for these transactions utilizing the constructive retirement method.





2008 Tender Offer





On September 2, 2008, the Company announced that it was offering to shareholders who owned 99 or fewer shares of the Company’s convertible preferred stock on August 20, 2008, to purchase those shares at $1.25 per share. The tender offer was to expire on October 31, 2008; however, on October 28, 2008 the Company announced that it was extending the expiration date of the tender offer to December 31, 2008.  The Company retired the convertible preferred stock purchased through this tender offer. There were approximately 14,000 odd-lot shares eligible for purchase under the tender offer.





Through December 31, 2008, shareholders tendered 2,186 shares of convertible preferred stock under the tender offer. The Company accounted for these transactions utilizing the constructive retirement method.





8. Stock Option Plans





In June 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”) to grant options to key employees and other persons who render service (non-employee) to the Company.  The plan expired on December 31, 2005 and the 22,000 options that were outstanding and not exercised as of their expiration in June 2009 were forfeited. At December 31, 2009, no options were outstanding under the Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan.





On September 29, 2006, the Company adopted the Colonial Commercial Corp. 2006 Stock Plan, (the “2006 Plan”).  The 2006 Plan enables the Company to grant equity and equity-linked awards to our Directors, officers, employees and other persons who provide services to the Company.  The 2006 Plan is intended to allow us to provide incentives that will (1) strengthen the desire of highly competent persons to provide services to us and (2) further stimulate their efforts on our behalf.





The following is a summary of certain provisions of the 2006 Plan.





Shares Available. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered under the 2006 Plan is 1,000,000, subject to adjustment for certain specified changes to the Company's capital structure.  As of December 31, 2009, 925,000 options were available to be issued.





Eligibility. All directors, officers and other employees and other persons who provide services to the Company are eligible to participate in the 2006 Plan.





Administration. The administrator of the 2006 Plan will be the board or any other committee which the board designates to serve as the administrator of the 2006 Plan.





Types of Awards. The types of awards that may be made under the 2006 Plan are stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, and stock units. The board or the committee that administers the 2006 Plan will fix the terms of each award, including, to the extent relevant, the following: (1) exercise price for options, base price for stock appreciation rights, and purchase price, if any, for restricted stock awards, (2) vesting requirements and other conditions to exercise, (3) term and termination, (4) effect, if any, of a change of control and (5) method of exercise and of any required payment by the recipient.

Term of Plan. No award may be granted under the 2006 Plan after the close of business on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the 2006 Plan. However, all awards made prior to such time will remain in effect in accordance with their terms.





On December 6, 2006, 100,000 10-year options were granted to independent directors at the closing market price of that day, or $1.85, 40,000 options vested immediately and 20,000 options vested and became exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date unless an independent director resigned, at which time their unvested options were immediately forfeited and they had 60 days to exercise their vested options.





No options were granted during the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.





The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation method to estimate the fair value of stock options at the grant date.  The Black-Scholes valuation model uses the option exercise price and the number of options expected to be exercised as well as assumptions related to the expected price volatility of the Company’s stock, the rate of return on risk-free investments, the period during which the options will be outstanding, and the expected dividend yield for the Company’s stock to estimate the fair value of the stock option on the grant date.  The fair value of the stock options, which are subject to graded vesting, is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting life of the stock options.

9. Net Loss Per Common Share





Employee stock options totaling 75,000 for the year ended December 31, 2009 were not included in the net loss per share calculation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.  Convertible preferred stock, convertible into 293,057 and 447,891 shares of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was not included in the net loss per share because its effect would have been anti-dilutive.  Convertible notes, in the principal amount of $200,000 and $337,500, convertible into 66,666 and 112,500 shares of common stock, respectively, were not included in the net loss per share calculation for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Management reviewed the gross deferred tax asset and determined that it is more likely than not that such assets would not be recognized in the near future. As a result, the valuation allowance was increased by $470,000 as of September 30, 2009 and $530,000 to $9,394,764 as of December 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2009 net deferred tax asset was reduced to zero





As of December 31, 2008, net deferred tax asset, before valuation allowance, of $9,310,421 was reduced by a valuation allowance in the amount of $8,480,421. Such valuation allowance included the above reduction to the net deferred tax asset of $708,500. Management based this decision on future projected taxable income and management’s assessment of future utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.





As of December 31, 2009, the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes were approximately $26,122,000.  Various amounts of net operating loss carryforwards will expire from 2020 through 2029.  Approximately $415,000 net operating loss expired during the fiscal year ended 2008.

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments





The Company uses the standard that defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties.  The carrying value of all financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities is deemed to approximate fair value because of the short term nature of these instruments and the interest rate applicable to the Company’s financial status.

(c) Litigation





(i)
Universal Supply Group, Inc.





Universal Supply Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a New York corporation (“Universal”).  On June 25, 1999, Universal acquired substantially all of the assets of Universal Supply Group, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, including its name, pursuant to the terms of a purchase agreement. Subsequent to the acquisition, Universal Supply Group, Inc. (the selling corporation) formerly known as Universal Engineering Co., Inc., changed its name to Hilco, Inc.  Hilco, Inc. acquired the assets of Amber Supply Co., Inc., formerly known as Amber Oil Burner Supply Co., Inc., in 1998, prior to Hilco’s sale of assets to Universal.  Hilco, Inc. is hereinafter referred to as the “Universal Predecessor.”  The majority shareholders of Hilco, Inc. were John A. Hildebrandt and Paul Hildebrandt.





The Company understands that the Universal Predecessor and many other companies have been sued in the Superior Court of New Jersey (Middlesex County) by plaintiffs filing lawsuits alleging injury due to asbestos. As of December 31, 2009, there exist 9 plaintiffs in these lawsuits relating to alleged sales of asbestos products, or products containing asbestos, by the Universal Predecessor.  Subsequent to December 31, 2009, 6 plaintiffs have had their actions dismissed and 1 plaintiff filed an action, which results in 4 remaining plaintiffs in these lawsuits. The Company never sold any asbestos related products.





Of the existing plaintiffs as of December 31, 2009, 2 filed actions in 2009, 3 filed actions in 2007, 1 filed an action in 2006, 1 filed an action in 2005, and 2 filed actions in 2004. There are 201 other plaintiffs that have had their actions dismissed and 15 other plaintiffs that have settled as of December 31, 2009 for a total of $3,360,500. There has been no judgment against the Universal Predecessor.





Our Universal subsidiary was named by 36 plaintiffs; of these, 11 filed actions in 2007, 6 filed actions in 2006, 11 filed actions in 2005, 5 filed actions in 2001, 1 filed an action in 2000, and 2 filed actions in 1999.  Thirty plaintiffs naming Universal have had their actions dismissed and, of the total $3,360,500 of settled actions, 3 plaintiffs naming Universal have settled for $27,500.  No money was paid by Universal in connection with any settlement.  Following these dismissed and settled actions there exists 3 plaintiffs that name Universal as of December 31, 2009.

As set forth in more detail below, the Company has been indemnified against asbestos-based claims, and insurance companies are defending the interests of the Universal Predecessor and the Company in these cases.





Based on advice of counsel, the Company believes that none of the litigation that was brought against the Company’s Universal subsidiary through December 31, 2009 is material, and that the only material litigation that was brought against the Universal Predecessor through that date was Rhodes v. A.O. Smith Corporation, filed on April 26, 2004 in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Middlesex County, Docket Number MID-L-2979-04AS. The Company was advised that the Rhodes case was settled for $3,250,000 (“Settlement”) under an agreement reached in connection with a $10,000,000 jury verdict that was rendered on August 5, 2005. The Company was not a defendant in the Rhodes case.





The Company believes that Rhodes differed from the other lawsuits in that plaintiff established that he contracted mesothelioma as a result of his occupational exposure to asbestos dust and fibers and that a predecessor of the Company was a major supplier of the asbestos containing products that allegedly caused his disease.





A.
Indemnification





John A. Hildebrandt, Paul Hildebrandt and the Universal Predecessor have jointly and severally agreed to indemnify our Universal subsidiary from and against any and all damages, liabilities and claims due to exposure to asbestos at any time prior to the June 25, 1999 closing of the purchase agreement referred to earlier.  These agreements are set forth in the purchase agreement. Paul Hildebrandt, one of the indemnitors, was a Director of the Company from September 29, 2004 to January 28, 2005.





The indemnitors may use their own counsel to defend these claims. The indemnitors are not liable for any settlement effected without their consent. The indemnitors may settle and pay money claims without the consent of the Company. There is no indemnification unless claims aggregate $50,000; once this trigger point is reached, indemnification is required for all claims, including the first $50,000, but excluding claims of less than $10,000. The indemnification requirement survives at least until 30 days after the running of any relevant statutes of limitation.





The obligation of the indemnitors is joint and several, so that the Company can have recourse against any one or more of these indemnitors, whether or not any other indemnitor has previously defaulted on its obligation to us. There are no other limitations to our rights to indemnification.  The Company cannot be certain that the indemnitors have the financial wherewithal to meet their obligations to indemnify the Company.





B.
Insurance





The assets that the Universal Predecessor sold to us included its insurance policies and other agreements and contracts. The policies provide coverage for liability accruing during the periods for which premiums were paid.  The Universal Predecessor was formed in 1940. Copies of policies are available for each year beginning in 1970 and ending with the closing under the purchase agreement in 1999. Copies of policies for the period from 1940 to 1969 are not available.





Insurance companies acknowledge coverage for potential asbestos claims under certain of these policies.  Insurance companies under additional policies have reserved their right to deny coverage but have continued to defend and indemnify the Universal Predecessor and the Company under the contested policies.


F-24
 Table of Contents


COLONIAL COMMERCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued








There are periods during the years from 1940 to 1999 in which our Universal Predecessor did not have coverage for potential asbestos claims.  Subject to litigation, insurance companies may maintain that the existence of these periods’ results in coverage for only a portion of a particular injury that varies with the period during which there was asbestos coverage relating to the injury, and that the balance of any settlement or judgment is to be paid by the insured.  As of December 31, 2009, no insurance company has claimed any contribution for a gap in coverage except for a claim for $160 made by one insurance company to the Universal Predecessor in 1995.  The Universal Predecessor asserted that it had no obligation to pay this amount and did not make any payment.





Insurance companies have, as of December 31, 2009, defended us and the Universal Predecessor, and have paid all settlement amounts and defense costs.  Except for $160 referred to above, the insurance companies have not requested any payments from us or from the Universal Predecessor.





Our Universal subsidiary has not engaged in the sale of asbestos products since its formation in 1997. Its product liability policies for all years since 1998 exclude asbestos claims.





(ii)
The RAL Supply Group, Inc.





The RAL Supply Group, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a New York corporation (“RAL”), formerly known as RAL Purchasing Corp.  On September 30, 2003, RAL acquired substantially all of the assets of The RAL Supply Group, Inc., formerly known as The LAR Acquisition Corp., also a New York corporation, including its name, pursuant to the terms of a purchase agreement (“RAL APA”).  Subsequent to the acquisition, The RAL Supply Group, Inc. (the selling corporation) changed its name to RSG, Inc. RSG, Inc. is hereinafter referred to as the “RAL Predecessor.”





The RAL Predecessor acquired certain assets from Dyson-Kissner-Moran Corporation (“RSG Predecessor”) in 1993, prior to the RAL Predecessor’s sale of assets to RAL.





Our RAL subsidiary and other companies had been sued in the Supreme Court of New York (Orange County) by a plaintiff filing a lawsuit on or about July 30, 2008 alleging injury due to asbestos.





The RAL Predecessor agreed in the RAL APA to indemnify and hold harmless our RAL subsidiary from and against, among other things, damages that relate to products sold or manufactured or services performed or other actions taken or omitted by the RAL Predecessor prior to the closing of the acquisition.  The Company cannot be certain that the indemnitor has the financial wherewithal to meet its obligations to indemnify the Company.





As of December 31, 2009, this plaintiff had its action dismissed.  The lawsuit alleged injury due to asbestos during the 1970’s, prior to RAL Predecessor’s acquisition of assets from the RSG Predecessor and RAL’s acquisition of assets from the RAL Predecessor. The Company never sold any asbestos related products.

(iii)
General





Regardless of indemnification and insurance coverage, we do not in any event consider our Company to be liable for the asbestos-based lawsuits that name us or for any other claim that arises as a result of actions or omissions by the Universal Predecessor or RAL Predecessor companies. We expressly disclaimed the assumption of any liabilities when we purchased the assets of the Universal Predecessor and RAL Predecessor. It is our opinion that the existing asbestos litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company.  Nevertheless, we could be materially and adversely affected if we are held liable for substantial asbestos claims or if the Company incurs substantial legal or settlement costs. This material and adverse effect would occur if indemnitors fail to honor their indemnification agreements and insurance is not available either because policy limits are exceeded, or because insurance companies successfully deny coverage or claim limitations on their liabilities by reason of gaps in coverage or otherwise.





Since we regard as remote the potential payment of any asbestos-based claim, we have not accrued any balance for any period relating to asbestos claims, and we have not recorded any amount for asbestos claims for any period in any of our financial statements.





(iv)
Other Litigation





The Company is periodically involved in other litigation in the ordinary course of business.  The Company vigorously defends all matters in which the Company or its subsidiaries are named defendants and, for insurable losses, maintains significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments.  Although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage or the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe the ultimate liability associated with any claims or litigation will have a material impact to its financial condition or results of operations.
