Item 1. Business

Introduction

Rotonics Manufacturing Inc. (the “Company”) was founded as an Illinois Corporation, and was reincorporated in Delaware in December 1986. Effective July 1, 1991, the Company merged with Rotonics Molding, Inc.-Chicago (“Rotonics”), with the Company being the surviving entity. In accordance with the 1991 merger agreement, the Company issued 2,666,666 (after giving effect to a 1-for-3 reverse stock split) shares of its common stock and 4,999,997 shares of a newly issued non-voting preferred stock in exchange for all the outstanding voting stock of Rotonics. The preferred stock was completely redeemed prior to the end of fiscal 1996, and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation were subsequently amended to eliminate the authorization of Series A preferred stock.

Rotonics had operations in Itasca, Illinois; Deerfield, Wisconsin; Denver, Colorado; and Bartow, Florida. Three of these operations currently conduct business as divisions of the Company using the trade names RMI-C, RMI-D, and RMI-F, respectively. Rotonics was a privately held California Corporation, which was 52% owned by Mr. Sherman McKinniss. Mr. McKinniss became president and chief executive officer of the Company on August 12, 1991, and currently presides as the Company’s president, CEO and chairman of the board.

In September 1991, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Rotational Molding, Inc. (“RMI”), was merged into the Company and now operates as two divisions using the trade names RMI-G and RMI-I with manufacturing operations in Gardena, California and Caldwell, Idaho, respectively.

Effective January 1, 1992, the Company acquired Plastech Holdings, Inc. (“Plastech”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, Plastech International, Inc., for $1,777,070 in cash. Plastech was headquartered in Warminster, Pennsylvania, with an additional operation in Gainesville, Texas. In July 1992, Plastech was merged with the Company and now operates as a division of the Company using the trade name RMI-T.

Effective April 1, 1995, the Company purchased certain assets and assumed certain liabilities of Custom Rotational Molding, Inc. (“CRM”) for 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company assumed CRM’s operations in Arleta, California.

In September 1994, the Company purchased a larger manufacturing facility in Bensenville, Illinois and subsequently relocated its Itasca, Illinois operations into this new facility. In December 1995, the Company discontinued its operations at its Deerfield, Wisconsin location and combined these operations into its newly purchased Bensenville, Illinois operation. The Wisconsin facility is currently being leased to one tenant on a month-to-month term basis at $2,500 per month.

In February 1997, the Company purchased a 9.73-acre facility consisting of 63,000 square feet of manufacturing and office building space in Commerce City, Colorado. The Company has since expended significant resources to

refurbish the facility to house its Colorado operations. The facility is also located within an enterprise zone, which continues to provide additional benefits. The Company leases a portion of this facility’s excess office and yard space on a long-term basis at $4,100 per month.

Effective April 1, 1998, the Company merged with Rotocast International, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Rotocast”), with the Company being the surviving entity. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Company issued 2,072,539 shares of its common stock and a $2,000,000 note payable secured by a stand-by letter of credit, in exchange for all the outstanding voting stock of Rotocast. In January 2000, the Company repurchased these shares for $2.8 million. Upon consummation of the repurchase, the shares were retired.

Rotocast had operations in Miami, Florida; Knoxville, Tennessee; Brownwood, Texas; Las Vegas, Nevada; and Bossier City, Louisiana. These operations currently conduct business as divisions of the Company using the trade names Nutron, Rotocast of Tennessee, RMI-B and RMI-Nevada. Prior to the merger, the operations in Bossier City, Louisiana were substantially discontinued. Rotocast was a privately held Florida corporation, owned by GSC Industries, Inc. (“GSC”). The Company leases the remaining Rotocast facilities from GSC, and other affiliated parties, under long-term lease arrangements. A portion of the Nutron office building is being sub-leased on a long-term basis at $2,500 per month.

In conjunction with the Rotocast merger, the Company initiated the consolidation of its Warminster, Pennsylvania and Arleta, California facilities into its remaining operations. The consolidation of these facilities was completed in fiscal 1999 and enhanced the operations of the Company’s remaining facilities, reduced its overall manufacturing overhead costs, and allowed the Company to take greater advantage of its marketing and distribution channels. Also, in fiscal 1999, the Company consolidated its Miami operations into the remaining operating facilities.

The Corporate office of the Company is located at the same site as the RMI-G (Gardena, California) facility.

Description of Business

The Company currently has ten manufacturing locations and was again listed by a plastics industry periodical as one of the top ten rotational molders in North America. These operating divisions manufacture a variety of plastic products for commercial, agricultural, pharmaceutical, governmental, building, medical waste, refuse, retail, recreation, marine, healthcare and residential use, as well as a vast number of custom plastic products for a variety of industries, utilizing the rotonically molding process and, on a smaller scale; injection molding and dip molding processes. In April 1998, the injection molding process was added to the Company’s manufacturing operations as part of the Rotocast merger. Utilizing this process, the Company markets a variety of parts for commercial, promotional, and residential uses, under the trade names Nutron and AMP. Rotonically molding is a process for molding plastic resin by rotating a mold in a heated environment, while the plastic resin powder placed inside the mold melts and evenly coats the inner wall of the mold. The injection molding process varies in that the plastic resin is first heated to a molten state and then injected under pressure into a mold. The rotonically molding process has been used for many years and continues to be recognized as a growth industry in recent years, as a result of numerous ongoing business consolidations and the development of new resins. These new resins allow rotonically molded items to compete with more traditional materials such as carbon, fiberglass, and stainless steel, especially in the fabrication of large, lightweight, one-piece molded items, such as storage tanks and polysteel light poles. Rotonically molding is a particularly advantageous process for users of molded plastic products who may want to test different prototypes, or who do not require sufficient numbers of such products to justify a more expensive manufacturing process. The Company’s products include various types of storage tanks, bin lids, refuse containers for automated removal, medical waste containers, agricultural/livestock products, kayaks, outdoor polysteel lamp posts, furniture, planters, and other rotonically molded items.

The Company purchases resin from six major suppliers in the U.S. and Canada. There are fifteen additional suppliers of lesser significance. Since the majority of the resin used in the manufacturing process is a polyethylene derived from natural gas, resin price is not directly related to the price for petrochemicals, and until recent years, has not generally been subject to volatile fluctuations that are often experienced by the petroleum industry. The Company also incorporates the use of recycled plastic materials, blended with virgin materials in the manufacturing of products, whenever appropriate.

The Company holds several patents on storage containers used for pharmaceutical, commercial and residential applications that expire through the year 2010. Although the Company has been able to capture its share of these niche markets and expects to see continued growth, no one patent or groups of patents is considered material to the business as a whole.

Competition for the Company’s products is governed by geography and region, since large capacity tanks and bulky hollow products are expensive to ship long distances and, as such, any prospective competitor is constrained by shipping costs. There are numerous single-location, as well as a growing trend to structure multi-location, rotonically molding businesses throughout the United States. However, each of these businesses still competes in a geographic region, which is determined by customer demand within that region, a constraint inherent to the industry. Due to its nationwide presence, the Company has substantially alleviated this constraint. The Company’s sales are usually not subject to large seasonal fluctuations as the business typically operates on significant backlogs with a diverse product mix. Peak season is usually experienced in the period from April through June. Historically, the quarter from January through March is the slowest production period of the year. The Company’s backlog was $3,001,200 and $5,201,600 as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. All of the backlog orders as of June 30, 2004 are expected to be filled during fiscal 2005.

The Company’s products are marketed through the in-house sales and engineering staff, various distributors and outside commission-based sales representatives. The Company continues to build a strong, broad and diverse customer base, which covers a multitude of industries. Since fiscal 1991, no sales to any one single customer represented a material part of the Company’s business.

Research and development expenditures for the Company were insignificant for the last three fiscal years.

Regulation

The Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws relating to the protection of the environment, and does not anticipate any such laws will have material effect on its financial position, capital expenditures, or competitive position.

Employees

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

To the extent that this 10-K Annual Report discusses matters which are not historical, including statements regarding future financial results, information, or expectation about products or markets, or otherwise makes statements about future events, such statements are forward-looking and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. These include, among others, fluctuations in costs of raw materials and other expenses, costs associated with plant closures, downturns in the markets served by the Company, the costs associated with new product introductions, as well as other factors described under the heading: Item 1, “Business”, Item 3, “Legal Proceedings”, under this Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, and Footnote 1 to Financial Statements. When used in this report, the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “ believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our opinion only as of the date of the Annual Report. We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to the forward-looking statements after the date of this document. You should carefully review the risk factors described in other documents we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q to be filed by us in fiscal 2005.

Operations

Net sales improved by 12.1% to $40,332,900 in fiscal 2004 compared to $35,972,100 in fiscal 2003. The majority of our product groups reflected improvements with the most notable being a 20.6% increase in refuse products, a 16.5% increase in contract manufacturing products and a 8.7% increase in industrial products. We were pleased to realize such a notable upturn in sales volumes. During fiscal 2004, we spent $1,525,000 on new equipment, tooling and improvements to further our commitment to increase our sales, improve productivity and continue to improve the quality of our product offerings. We have met this goal this year and will continue to benefit from these improvements and new product offerings for the foreseeable future. In addition, we have similar capital expenditure plans slated for fiscal 2005 that should further our drive to improve future sales. We also remain optimistic that our marketplace will continue to strengthen and in turn will provide additional opportunities for growth.

Net sales fell 5.3% to $35,972,100 in fiscal 2003 compared to $37,973,300 in fiscal 2002. Fiscal 2003 sales volumes continued to mirror our nation’s lackluster economy. Our industrial product group reflected the most resilience during these tough conditions, reporting a modest 2.4% increase in sales. Of the hardest hit sectors, our contract manufacturing group was down 6.8% in fiscal 2003. However, fiscal 2003 was also a strong period for contract tooling projects that are expected to help boost future contract manufacturing sales. We were also in the final stages of placing our state of the art new roto-molding machine into service, which will improve our competitive edge in the marketplace.

Cost of goods sold was $31,140,600, or 77.2% of net sales, in fiscal 2004 compared to $26,927,300 and $27,765,900, or 74.9% and 73.1% of net sales, in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. The increase in our sales volumes along with our manufacturing efficiencies and systematic price increases helped mitigate the overall 4.1% increase material costs along with rising natural gas and workers compensation insurance costs that amounted to approximately $337,000. These costs coupled with a $200,000 inventory write-down in fiscal 2004, ultimately reduced our gross margins by 2.3%. We do not foresee any significant relief from these costs, but will remain vigilant in our efforts to offset these rising costs in future periods.

Selling general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $6,888,600, or 17.1% of net sales, in fiscal 2004 compared to $7,068,700, or 19.7% of net sales, in fiscal 2003. Overall SG&A costs decreased $180,100, which is primarily attributed to the $190,000 one-time administrative contractual charge incurred in fiscal 2003. We are pleased that we have been able to maintain overall SG&A costs in line with current sales volume levels and anticipate holding this trend in the ensuing year.

SG&A expenses were $7,068,700, or 19.7% of net sales, in fiscal 2003 compared to $7,540,900, or 19.9% of net sales, in fiscal 2002. Overall SG&A costs have decreased $472,200, which is primarily attributed to our cost containment efforts. These efforts were reflected in reduced marketing costs of $87,600, travel costs of $43,800 and wage/benefit costs of $280,200. Additional cost savings were also reflected in commission/royalty expenses of $172,600 due to royalty agreements completed in fiscal 2002 and a dip in commission-based product sales, and finally, a reduction in bad debt expense of $47,400. These costs savings were reduced by a $190,000 one-time administrative contractual charge during fiscal 2003.

Income from operations was $2,303,700, or 5.7% of net sales, in fiscal year 2004 compared to $1,976,100 and $2,666,500, or 5.5% and 7.0% of net sales, in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. We are pleased that our commitment to improving year-on-year operating results is starting to pay-off in spite of ongoing increases in insurance, utility and raw material costs as previously mentioned and we anticipate future improvements. In addition, fiscal 2004 income from operations also benefited from the overall reduction in SG&A costs as also outlined above. The 25.9% reduction in operating income in fiscal 2003 was attributed to the 5.3% reduction in sales volumes coupled with the 1.8% increase in cost of goods sold again attributed to unmitigated increases in workers compensation insurance, utilities and raw materials incurred during the period.

Total interest expense decreased $54,200 to $211,800 in fiscal 2004, compared to $266,000 and $464,100 in fiscal 2003 and 2002 respectively. The decrease is due to the historically low interest rates that we continued to benefit from during the current year along with a more favorable debt structure. Although we anticipate our debt structure to remain fairly consistent in the ensuing months, recent increases in the bank’s prime and LIBOR rates may increase future interest costs. The notable decrease in interest costs during fiscal 2003 was attributed to the $2,068,400 reduction in our debt structure during fiscal 2003 coupled with more favorable bank interest rates.

Income taxes were $898,500, $677,400 and $947,200 in fiscal 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Current federal taxes amounted to $811,500 in fiscal 2004 compared to $667,100 and $476,300 in fiscal 2003 and 2002, respectively. In fiscal 2002, a notable portion of our tax provision was the deferred tax component, which amounted to $307,100. During fiscal 2002 this amount was primarily related to the federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) credit carryforward and state net operating loss carryforwards. In fiscal 2002, we fully utilized our $412,600 federal AMT credit carry-forward. Following the utilization of our AMT credit carryforward, we have incurred an increase in our current federal taxes. Fiscal 2004 increase income tax expense is also related to the 20% increase in income before taxes compared to fiscal 2003.

Net income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for goodwill increased $147,600 to $1,304,200, or $.11 per common share, for fiscal 2004 compared to $1,156,600, or $.09 per common share, in fiscal 2003. The second half of fiscal 2004 offered a renewed vigor in the marketplace, that coupled with our efforts to improve sales volumes through enhanced product offerings and productivity resulted in our 12.1% increase in fiscal 2004 sales volumes. The significant increase in sales volumes provided the needed base to mitigate the rising raw material, utility and insurance costs that continue to challenge our operations, along with the $200,000 fiscal 2004 inventory write down. We successfully recouped a portion of these costs, which coupled with the reduction in SG&A and interest costs provided the 12.8% increase in current years net income. Even though it seems evident that raw materials, natural gas and insurance costs will continue to challenge future periods, we remain optimistic that our strong financial condition and business strategies will help us to respond to current market conditions and allow us to take advantage of growth opportunities as they arise.

Net income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for goodwill decreased $252,100 to $1,156,600, or $.09 per common share, for fiscal 2003 compared to $1,408,700, or $.11 per common share, in fiscal 2002. Although we believe that future market conditions are slowly improving, fiscal 2003 was hampered by a sluggish economy, especially in the fourth quarter, which contributed to the 5.3% drop in sales volumes. While our cost containment efforts, as reflected in the $472,200 reduction in SG&A costs, along with lower interest costs, helped to preserve income levels, we still were unable to fully compensate for rising raw material, insurance and utility costs.

Cumulative Effect of Change in Accounting Principle for Goodwill

We recorded an adjustment effective July 1, 2001 to reflect the impact of adopting SFAS No.142, amounting to a reduction of intangible assets of $4,105,900. This amount is reflected in net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002 as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for goodwill. The adjustment represents a write down of our net goodwill based on a review of the goodwill for impairment. Under the assessment guidelines of SFAS No. 142 and the SEC’s guidance that our quoted market price is the most efficient mechanism for estimating fair value, it was determined the fair value of our reporting unit was less than its carrying value. Although the assumptions used to estimate fair value may not be indicative of future results, our goodwill has been reduced to zero and will not require future impairment analysis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital increased $1,026,800 to $7,756,300 at June 30, 2004, compared to $6,729,500 at June 30, 2003. The increase is related to the $1,623,800 increase in accounts receivable and inventories consistent with the 12.1% increase in sales volumes during the current year net of the related increase in accounts payable of $659,300

primarily related to the purchase of raw materials again associated with the higher sales volumes and to take advantage of favorable resin pricing. Cash flows from operations decreased $1,910,700 to $2,515,600 in fiscal 2004, compared to $4,426,300 for the same period last year. The decrease is once again attributed to the significant build up in our accounts receivable balance due to the $2,466,500 increase in sales volumes in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2004 when compared to the same period last year.

We expended $1,525,000 for property, plant and equipment (“PP&E”) in fiscal 2004, compared to $1,532,600 in fiscal 2003. Costs incurred during the current period are related to the completion of our new state of the art roto-molding machine that was placed in service at our Commerce City, Colorado facility and the costs associated with a new roto-molding machine installed at our Gainesville, Texas facility. The remaining costs incurred are related to new tooling and tooling modifications that we believe enhanced our competitive edge in the market place and in turn helped spur the improved sales volumes in fiscal 2004. We anticipate capital expenditures to total approximately $1.9 million in fiscal 2005 that will include the instillation of three new roto-molding machines.

Net borrowings under the line of credit increased $976,100 to $1,357,300 between June 30, 2003 and June 30, 2004. The increase is due to the timing of payments for capital expenditures, raw materials, federal income taxes and common stock repurchases during the year. Due to the timing of such payments, as well as the current build up in accounts receivable, it is not unusual to incur fluctuations in our line of credit borrowings throughout the year. However, since June 30, 2003, our total debt borrowings have only risen $111,900 as a result of these cash outlays. We anticipate that this trend will continue through fiscal 2005 as we balance the timing of cash flows from operations and the funding of these type or cash outlays.

Effective October 1, 2003, the bank extended the maturity date on the line of credit to October 1, 2005. In addition, we did not advance on the $2,000,000 term loan commitment that subsequently expired on October 1, 2003 and was not renewed. All other terms and conditions surrounding our credit facility with the bank remained the same, except that the agreement was also modified to expand our ability to issue letters of credit.

The following is a summary of the Company’s contractual commitments associated with its debt and lease obligations as of June 30, 2004:

	For the year ended June 30,
	2005		2006		2007		2008		2009		Thereafter		Total

During fiscal 2001, we reinstated our common stock buyback program. In fiscal 2004, we acquired 459,633 shares of common stock at a total cost of $679,700. As of June 30, 2004, we had 11,981,158 shares of common stock outstanding.

On June 16, 2004, the Board declared a dividend of $.05 per share of common stock payable on July 23, 2004 to stockholders of record on July 9, 2004. This marks the eighth payment of dividends since 1996 on our common stock. The Board is committed to annually review a dividend program for our common stock.

Cash flows from operations in conjunction with our revolving line of credit are expected to meet our needs for working capital, capital expenditures, common stock repurchases and repayment of long term debt for the foreseeable future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

be considered when determining whether a company holds controlling financial interest in, and therefore must consolidate, an entity (variable interest entities). The adoption of FIN 46 had no impact on the Company’s overall financial position and results of operations as the Company has no variable interest entities.

In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” SFAS No. 149 is intended to result in more consistent reporting of contracts as either freestanding derivative instruments subject to SFAS No. 133 in its entirety, or as hybrid instrument with debt host contracts and embedded derivative features. In addition, SFAS No. 149 clarifies the definition of a derivative by providing guidance on the meaning of initial net investments related to derivatives. This statement was effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

In May 2003, The FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity.” SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 was adopted by the Company on July 1, 2003 and did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements or significant guarantees to third parties not fully recorded in our balance sheets or fully disclosed in our notes to consolidated financial statements. The Company’s significant contractual obligations include our debt agreements. Certain financial and operating restrictions under these agreements are fully disclosed in notes 7 and 8 of the consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

We make various estimates when applying accounting policies in accordance with GAAP that affect our consolidated financial statements. Due to the nature of our business, these estimates generally are not considered highly uncertain at the time of estimation and therefore are not expected to result in a period-to-period change that would materially affect our results of operations or financial condition.

We do apply key accounting principles as required by GAAP. These key accounting policies govern accounts receivable, inventory valuation and income taxes.

Accounts receivable

We make judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables and provide allowances for the portion of receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Provisions are based on a percentage of net sales and a specific review of all significant outstanding receivable balances. Percentages applied may vary based on analysis of historical collection experience or current economic trends. If the data we use to calculate the allowance for doubtful accounts does not reflect the future ability to collect outstanding receivables, additional provisions for doubtful accounts may be needed and the results of operations could be affected.

Inventory valuation

Finished goods inventory is valued at cost and management uses historical gross margin trends and other estimates to continually update labor and overhead allocations. The gross margin percentage reflects our estimate of the cost of, among other things, material, labor and overhead expenditures during the production process. Such costs are capitalized to inventory as products are manufactured. Although it is believed that the estimates are reasonable, it is possible that the actual labor and overhead costs will differ over time from the estimated amounts. Due to the high volume of transactions and the way raw materials are used in product manufacturing, inventory quantities can change rapidly and are impacted by a variety of factors including, production efficiency, obsolescence, scrap, design changes, customer preferences, etc. As such, the Company must regularly count inventories to ensure they are up to date. The Company takes a physical count monthly and reconciles the count to the inventory. However, given the number of transactions, the number of locations and the large number of inventory items, adjustments to the counts do occur on a regular basis. Although we believe that our inventory counts and values are reasonable the inventory does have some inherit estimates that could impact our balance sheet and results of operations.

Income taxes

Under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” income taxes are recorded based on the current amounts payable or refundable, as well as the consequences of events that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences in how those events are treated for tax purposes. We base our estimates of deferred tax assets and liabilities on current tax laws and rates and in certain cases expectations about future outcomes. Our accounting for deferred tax consequences represents management’s best estimate of future events that can be appropriately reflected in accounting estimates. Our net operating loss carryforwards, which are available to offset taxable income, are also subject to limitations should a “change in ownership” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code occur. Although management believes that its estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final tax outcome of these matters will not be different than that which is reflected in our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

In particular, we recorded a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount of future tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized. While management has considered future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, there is no assurance that the valuation allowance would not need to be increased to cover additional deferred tax assets that may not be realized. Any increase in the valuation allowance could have a material adverse impact on our income tax provision and net income for the period in which such determination is made.

Factors That May Affect Our Future Results or the Market Price of Our Stock

We operate in a rapidly changing economic environment that presents numerous risks. Many of these risks are beyond our control and are driven by factors that we cannot predict. The following discussion highlights some of these risks.

Economic, political and market conditions can adversely affect our revenue growth.

Our revenue growth and profitability depends on the overall demand for plastic products for commercial, recreational and residential uses. Because our sales are primarily to corporate and government customers, our business depends on general economic and business conditions. The general weakening of the global economy, the weakening of business conditions in the manufacturing industry, and governmental budgetary constraints have resulted in a decreased demand for our products as we realized during the first half of fiscal 2004. If demand for our products weakens again, our revenue growth rates will be adversely affected. In addition, our country’s war on terrorism, as well as federal and state budgetary concerns, have contributed to economic, political and other uncertainties that could adversely affect our revenue growth and results of operations. If economic and market conditions do not remain healthy, our business will be adversely affected.

Management has no comparative advantage in forecasting macroeconomic trends and developments relating to general business conditions. Our management is, however, required to make such forecasts in order to develop budgets, plan research and development strategies and perform a wide variety of general management functions. To the extent that our forecasts are in error, because we are either overly optimistic or overly pessimistic about the performance of an economy or of a sector, our performance can suffer because of a failure properly to match corporate strategy with economic conditions.

If we do not successfully manage our operating margins, our business can be negatively impacted.

Our future operating results will depend on our ability to forecast revenues accurately and control expenses. While we can control certain internal factors, our future operating results can be adversely impacted by external factors, such as a slowing in demand for certain of our products. If there is an unexpected decline in revenues, which is not offset by a decrease in expenses, our business and operating results will be adversely affected.

We may be required to change our business practices if there are changes in accounting regulations and related interpretations and policies.

Policies, guidelines and interpretations related to revenue recognition, income taxes, facilities consolidation, accounting for acquisitions, allowances for doubtful accounts and other financial reporting matters require difficult judgments as to complex matters that are often subject to multiple sources of authoritative guidance. Some of these matters are also among topics currently under re-examination by accounting standards groups and regulators. These standard groups and regulators could promulgate interpretations and guidance that could result in material and potentially adverse, changes to our accounting policies.

Business disruptions could affect our future operating results.

Our operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected in the event of a major earthquake, fire or other catastrophic event, such as terrorist attacks upon the United States. Our corporate headquarters, a significant portion of our research and development activities and certain other critical business operations are located in California, near major earthquake faults. A catastrophic event that results in the destruction of any of our critical business or information technology systems could severely affect our ability to conduct normal business operations and as a result our future operating results could be adversely affected. In 2001, California experienced ongoing power shortages, which resulted in “rolling blackouts.” These blackouts, blackouts in other regions or procedures implemented to avert blackouts could cause disruptions to our operations and the operations of our customers. Such disruptions, particularly at the end of a quarter, could adversely affect quarterly revenues and net income.

Our stock price could remain volatile and your investment could lose value.

Our stock price has fluctuated widely in the past and could continue to do so in the future. Your investment in our stock could lose value. Some of the factors that could significantly affect the market price of our stock include:

• quarterly variations in our results of operations or those of our competitors;

• changes in our or our competitors’ prices;

• changes in our revenue and revenue growth rates as a whole or for specific geographic areas, business units, products or product categories;

• announcements of new products or product enhancements by us or our competitors;

• changes in management;

• changes in our accounting policies;

• changes in recommendations or earnings estimates by financial analysts;

• speculation in the press or analyst community;

• changes in economic and market conditions either generally or specifically to particular industries;

• changes in interest rates; and

• changes in investors beliefs as to the appropriate price-earnings ratios for us and our competitors.

A significant drop in our stock price could expose us to the risk of securities class action lawsuits. Defending against such lawsuits could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources. Furthermore, any settlement or adverse determination of these lawsuits could adversely affect us.

Item 7a. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks relating to interest rate volatility on its existing and future issuances of variable rate debt with the bank. Primary exposures include movements in U.S. Treasury rates and LIBOR rates, which in turn affect the bank’s prime and LIBOR option rates.

We had approximately $3.3 million of variable rate debt as of June 30, 2004. In efforts to reduce interest rate volatility and mitigate exposure on variable rate debt, we entered into an interest rate swap effective July 15, 1998, as amended on August 15, 2002. The swap, which has a notional amount of $3 million as of June 30, 2004, will step down to $2 million on August 15, 2005 and will remain at this amount until its expiration on August 15, 2006. The swap fixes the bank’s LIBOR option rate at 4.83% over the term of the contract. The fair value of the swap, net of tax, amounted to ($64,400) as of June 30, 2004. If interest rates increased by 1% during fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004, and additional borrowings are not incurred, we would not expect a significant increase in projected fiscal 2005 interest expense.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

See Financial Statements and Financial Statement Schedules listed in Item 14(a)(1) and (2).

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

None.

Item 9a. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, summarized and processed within time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. As of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our president and chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 under the Exchange Act. Based upon this evaluation, our president and chief executive officer and our chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective under Rules 13a-14.

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
and Stockholders of Rotonics Manufacturing Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of ROTONICS MANUFACTURING INC. (a Delaware corporation) as of June 30, 2004 and 2003 and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income/(loss), changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2004. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Rotonics Manufacturing Inc. as of June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 14(a)(2) is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

ROTONICS MANUFACTURING INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1- ORGANIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Organization and operations

Rotonics Manufacturing Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, manufactures and markets plastic products for commercial, agricultural, refuse, pharmaceutical, marine, recreation, medical waste, healthcare, retail, recreation and residential use, as well as an array of custom molded plastic products to customers in a variety of industries, located in diverse geographic markets. The Company’s operations are conducted under one operating segment. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s net sales in fiscal 2004, 2003, or 2002. In fiscal 2004, the Company purchased in aggregate approximately 98% of its plastic resin from six vendors. Plastic resin represents a significant portion of the Company’s manufacturing costs. As such, economic factors that affect the Company’s plastic resin vendors will have a potential impact on the Company’s future operations.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are as follows:

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Rotocast Plastic Products of Tennessee, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognized upon shipment to the customer and are recorded net of sales discounts, returns and allowances.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of accounts receivable and trade payables approximates the fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s line of credit and notes payable is considered to approximate fair market value, because the interest rates of these instruments are based predominately on variable reference rates.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method.

Property, plant and equipment

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method and the estimated useful lives of the assets range from three to thirty-nine years. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is included in income for the period. The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to income as incurred; costs relating to significant renewals and betterments are capitalized.

Intangible assets

Patents are amortized on the straight-line basis over their useful lives of seventeen years, or at their remaining useful life from date of acquisition. Legal costs associated with defending existing patents are capitalized as additional costs of the patent, when successful defense is probable.

F - 6

Impairment of long-lived assets

The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets and the related estimated remaining lives at each balance sheet date. Should events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable or the useful life has changed, the Company records an impairment charge or changes the useful life.

Stock-based compensation

Stock-based compensation is accounted for using the intrinsic value method under which no compensation expense is recognized when the exercise price of the employee’s stock option equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Required pro forma information has been presented under the fair value method using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

Income taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to an asset and liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, expected future events other than enactments of changes in tax laws or rates, are considered.

Derivative instruments

The Company accounts for its derivative instruments and hedging activities in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended by SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instrument and Hedging Activities,” which established methods of accounting and reporting for derivative instruments and hedging activities related to those instruments as well as other hedging activities.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing reported earnings by weighted average shares outstanding. Diluted EPS include the effect of the potential shares outstanding, including dilutive securities using the treasury stock method. Potential dilutive securities for the Company include outstanding stock options. The table below details the components of the basic and diluted EPS calculations:

	Net Income/(Loss)			Weighted Average Shares Outstanding	EPS

Geographic and Product Information

All of the Company’s manufacturing operations are located within the United States. The Company’s revenues were almost exclusively generated in North America for the years ended June 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002. The Company categorizes its products into five main groups. Net sales for these products are summarized as follows:

	For Year Ended June 30,
	2004		2003		2002

Total net sales	$	40,332,900	$	35,972,100	$	37,973,300

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46”). In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to FIN 46 to make certain technical corrections and address certain implementation issues that had arisen. FIN 46, as revised, clarifies existing accounting literature regarding the consolidation of entities in which a company holds a controlling financial interest. A majority voting interest in an entity has generally been considered indicative of a controlling financial interest. FIN 46 specifies other factors (variable interest) which must be considered when determining whether a company holds controlling financial interest in, and therefore must consolidate, an entity (variable interest entities). The adoption of FIN 46 had no impact on the Company’s overall financial position and results of operations as the Company has no variable interest entities.

NOTE 2 – NOTES RECEIVABLE:

In July 2001, the Company and a former customer agreed to convert an open trade receivable balance due from the customer in the amount of $150,000 to a note receivable bearing interest at 8% per annum and maturing on June 15, 2004. As of June 30, 2004 and 2003, the total balance of this note amounted to $138,600. The customer continues to dispute the balance of this note. At this juncture, we are proceeding through the discovery phase of the litigation process and anticipate a resolution during fiscal 2005. We have taken a conservation approach to the ultimate outcome and have increased our allowance for doubtful accounts accordingly.

At the end of fiscal 2003, the Company was owed $92,100 on notes receivable for the sale of various molds and other assets. These notes were repaid in full during fiscal 2004.

	$	6,629,000	$	6,370,400

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT IN PARTNERSHIP:

The Company owns a 33-1/3% interest in a real estate venture that was acquired in 1998 and is being accounted for using the equity method. The investment consists principally of a note receivable which is payable in monthly installments, including interest at 7%, to 2008, with annual principal reductions as provided.

NOTE 5 - PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT:

	For Year Ended June 30,

NOTE 6 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

	For Year Ended June 30,
	2004			2003
Intangible assets consist of:
Patents	$	475,700		$	475,700
Less accumulated amortization	(259,000		)	(213,100		)
Net patents	$	216,700		$	262,600

Aggregate amortization expense for each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002 was $46,000. Future estimated amortization expense will be approximately $45,000 for each of the next four years and $34,000 in fiscal 2009.

In fiscal 2002, the Company’s reporting unit was reviewed for goodwill impairment in conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Due to the disparity between the Company’s estimated fair value and its carrying value, a goodwill impairment loss of $4,105,900 was recognized as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle as of July 1, 2001. The fair value of the reporting unit was estimated using conservative valuation models involving guideline public companies, acquisition analysis and discounted cash flows as well as the Company’s market capitalization.

NOTE 7 - BANK LINE OF CREDIT:

The Company has a $5,000,000 revolving line of credit with Wells Fargo Bank, which matures on October 1, 2005. The line is secured by the Company’s machinery and equipment, accounts receivable and inventories. Interest is payable monthly at the respective bank’s prime rate minus .25% (4.0% per annum at June 30, 2004). In addition, the loan agreement allows the Company to convert the outstanding principal balance in amounts no less than $250,000 to a LIBOR-based loan for up to 90-day periods. At June 30, 2004, total borrowings under the Company’s line of credit were $1,357,300 of which $1,000,000 was borrowed under the LIBOR option bearing a LIBOR interest of 2.27875% per annum and maturing July 15, 2004. Proceeds from the loan were used for working capital purposes. At June 30, 2004, the Company had approximately $3,642,700 available for future borrowings under the revolving line of credit. The loan agreement contains various covenants pertaining to tangible net worth, net income and liquidity ratios, capital expenditures, payments of dividends, payment of subordinated debt as well as various other restrictions. The Company was in compliance with these covenants during fiscal 2004.

Less current portion	(864,300		)	(864,300		)
	$	1,116,700		$	1,980,900

(A) On October 1, 2000, the bank issued a $6,050,000 seven year note due in monthly principal installments of $72,000 plus interest at the bank’s prime rate minus .25% (4.0% per annum at June 30, 2004).

The note is secured by the Company’s machinery and equipment, accounts receivable and inventories and matures October 15, 2007.

The Company has an interest rate swap agreement with the bank. The agreement allows the Company to fix a portion of its outstanding term and line of credit debt ($3 million as of June 30, 2004) from a variable floating LIBOR rate to a fixed LIBOR rate in efforts to protect against future increases in the banks LIBOR rate. The notional amount of the swap agreement will remain at $3 million until August 15, 2005 at which time it will be reduced to $2 million and will remain at this amount through to the swap’s maturity on August 15, 2006.

The Company did not grant any options in fiscal 2004. At June 30, 2004, the Company had 850,000 shares available for future grants. The Company accounts for stock options under the intrinsic value method. Had compensation cost for the plan been determined in accordance with the fair value method as set out in SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, the Company’s net income and income per common share data would not have been significantly different.

At June 30, 2004, the Company has net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards of approximately $7,112,600 for state income tax purposes. The NOL carry-forwards, which are available to offset future taxable income of the Company and are subject to limitations should a “change in ownership” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code occur, will begin to expire in 2005 if not utilized. The state NOL carry-forwards expire as follows:

In fiscal 2002, the Company utilized its remaining alternative minimum tax credit, which reduced its current federal tax liability by $412,600 in fiscal 2002. In connection with the Rotocast merger, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $394,400, net of a valuation allowance of $192,400 as of June 30, 1998, for the future benefit related to state NOL carry-forwards. The current state valuation allowance, amounting to $358,400, represents the estimated amount of state NOL’s that will expire prior to their utilization. Realization of the future tax benefits of the NOL carry-forwards is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate taxable income within the carry-forward period. Management will continue to assess the likelihood of utilizing its state NOL’s by taking into consideration historical results and current economic conditions in which the Company operates. Management does not consider any non-routine transactions in assessing the likelihood of realization of the recorded deferred tax asset. Any future adjustments to the valuation allowance will be reflected as a component of the current years tax provision.

The following reconciles the federal statutory income tax rate to the effective rate of the provision for income taxes:
