METWOOD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2007
(UNAUDITED)
                   
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
   
                   
Business Activity - Metwood, Inc. ("Metwood") was organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on April 7, 1993. On June 30, 2000, Metwood entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization in which the majority of its outstanding common stock was acquired by a publicly held Nevada shell corporation. The acquisition was a tax-free exchange for federal and state income tax purposes and was accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 16. Upon acquisition, the name of the shell corporation was changed to Metwood, Inc., and Metwood, Inc., the Virginia corporation, became a wholly owned subsidiary of Metwood, Inc., the Nevada corporation. The publicly traded shell corporation had not had a material operating history for several years prior to the merger.
                   
Effective January 1, 2002, Metwood acquired certain assets of Providence Engineering, PC ("Providence"), a professional engineering firm with customers in the same proximity as Metwood. The total purchase price of $350,000 was paid with $60,000 in cash and with 290,000 shares of the Company's common stock to the two Providence shareholders. These shares were valued at the closing active quoted market price of the stock at the effective date of the purchase, which was $1.00 per share. One of the shareholders of Providence was also an officer and existing shareholder of Metwood prior to the acquisition. In 2002 Metwood purchased from that shareholder and retired 15,000 of the originally issued 290,000 shares for $15,000 and in 2004 purchased from that shareholder and retired the remaining 275,000 of the originally issued 290,000 shares for $50,000. The initial purchase transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price was allocated as follows:
                   
   
Accounts receivable
   
$ 75,000
     
   
Fixed assets
     
45,000
     
   
Goodwill
     
230,000
     
   
Total
     
$350,000
     
                   
During the year ended June 30, 2003, liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition were identified and paid. The amount of the liabilities paid was $23,088, and this amount was added to goodwill.
                   
The consolidated company ("the Company") provides construction-related products and engineering services to residential customers and contractors, commercial contractors, developers and retail enterprises, primarily in southwestern Virginia.
                   
Basis of Presentation - The financial statements include the accounts of Metwood, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Providence Engineering, PC, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

METWOOD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2007
(UNAUDITED)
 
In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all the adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The results for the period ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2007.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - For certain of the Company's financial instruments, none of which are held for trading, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
 
Management's Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity 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, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Accounts Receivable - The Company grants credit in the form of unsecured accounts receivable to its customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers. The estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts, which is charged off to bad debt expense, is based on management’s assessment of current economic conditions and historical collection experience with each customer. At March 31, 2007, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $-0-. Specific customer receivables are considered past due when they are outstanding beyond their contractual terms and are charged off to the allowance for doubtful accounts when determined uncollectible or directly to bad debt expense if there is no remaining allowance. For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the amount of bad debts charged off was $7,416 and $350, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the amount of bad debts charged off was $30,887 and $436, resp
 
Inventory - Inventory, consisting of metal and wood raw materials, is located on the Company's premises and is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out method.
 
Property and equipment - Property and equipment are recorded at cost and include expenditures for improvements when they substantially increase the productive lives of existing assets. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed to operations as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful lives, which range from three to forty years. When a fixed asset is disposed of, its cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. The difference between undepreciated cost and the proceeds is recorded as a gain or loss.
 
Goodwill - The Company accounts for goodwill and intangibles under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” As such, goodwill is not amortized, but is subject to annual impairment reviews, or more frequent reviews if events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment. The Company performed its required annual goodwill impairment test as of June 30, 2006 using discounted cash flow estimates and found that there was no impairment of goodwill.

METWOOD, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2007
(UNAUDITED)
 
Patents - The Company has been assigned several key product patents developed by certain Company officers. No value has been recorded in the Company's financial statements because the fair value of the patents was not determinable within reasonable limits at the date of assignment.
                   
Revenue Recognition - Revenue is recognized when goods are shipped and earned or when services are performed, provided collection of the resulting receivable is probable. If any material contingencies are present, revenue recognition is delayed until all material contingencies are eliminated. Further, no revenue is recognized unless collection of the applicable consideration is probable.
                   
Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and for net operating loss carryforwards, where applicable. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or the entire deferred tax asset will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
                   
Research and Development - The Company performs research and development on its metal/wood products, new product lines, and new patents. Costs, if any, are expensed as they are incurred. There were no research and development costs for the three months ended March 31, 2007 or 2006. For the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the expenses relating to research and development were $8,000 and $-0-, respectively.
                   
Earnings Per Common Share - Basic earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding. If applicable, diluted earnings per share would assume the conversion, exercise or issuance of all potential common stock instruments such as options, warrants and convertible securities, unless the effect is to reduce a loss or increase earnings per share. This presentation has been adopted for the periods presented. There were no adjustments required to net income for the years presented in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
                   
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Interpretation ("FIN") No. 48, "Uncertainty in Income Taxes." FIN 48 applies to all tax positions within the scope of Statement 109 and clarifies when and how to recognize tax benefits in the financial statements with a two-step approach to recognition and measurement. FIN 48 will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management continues to evaluate the effect that adoption of FIN 48 will have on the Company's consolidated results of operations and financial position.

(UNAUDITED)
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect adoption of FASB No. 157 to have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.
                       
In September 2006, the SEC released Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements." SAB 108 provides interpretive guidance on the SEC's views regarding the process of quantifying materiality of financial statement misstatements. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, with early application for the first interim period ending after November 15, 2006. The Company does not believe that the application of SAB 108 will have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               
With the exception of historical facts stated herein, the matters discussed in this report are "forward-looking" statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from projected results. Such "forward-looking" statements include, but are not necessarily limited to, statements regarding anticipated levels of future revenues and earnings from operations of the Company. Readers of this report are cautioned not to put undue reliance on "forward-looking" statements, which are by their nature, uncertain as reliable indicators of future performance.
               
Description of Business
         
               
Background
             
               
As discussed in detail in Note 1, the Company was incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia on April 7, 1993 and, on June 30, 2000, entered into a reverse merger in which it became the wholly owned subsidiary of a public Nevada shell corporation, renamed Metwood, Inc. Effective January 1, 2002, Metwood acquired certain assets of Providence Engineering, PC in a transaction accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
               
Principal Products/Services and Markets
     
               
Metwood
             
               
Residential builders are aware of the superiority of steel framing vs. wood framing, insofar as steel framing is lighter; stronger; termite, pest, rot and fire resistant; and dimensionally more stable in withstanding induced loads. Although use of steel framing in residential construction has generally increased each year since 1980, many residential builders have been hesitant to utilize steel due to the need to retrain framers and subcontractors who are accustomed to a "stick-built" construction method where components are laid out and assembled with nails and screws. The Company's founders, Robert ("Mike") Callahan and Ronald Shiflett, saw the need to combine the strength and durability of steel with the convenience and familiarity of wood and wood fasteners.
               
Metwood manufactures light-gage steel construction materials, usually combined with wood or wood fasteners, for use in residential and commercial applications in place of more conventional wood products, which are inferior in terms of strength and durability. The steel and steel/wood products allow structures to be built with increased load strength and structural integrity and fewer support beams or support configurations, thereby allowing for structural designs that are not possible with wood-only products.
               
Metwood's primary products and services are:
     
 
· Girders and headers
 
· Garage, deck and porch concrete pour-over systems
 
 
· Floor joists
 
· Garage and post-and-beam buildings
 
 
· Floor joist reinforcers
· Engineering, design and custom building services
 
 
· Roof and floor trusses

Providence
               
                   
Providence is extensively involved in ongoing product research and development for Metwood. Additionally, Providence offers its customers civil engineering capabilities which include rezoning and special use submissions; erosion and sediment control and storm-water management design; residential, commercial, and religious facility site development design; and utility design, including water, sewer and onsite treatment systems. Providence's staff is familiar with construction practices and has been actively involved in construction administration and inspection on multiple projects.
                   
Providence also performs a variety of structural design and analysis work, successfully providing solutions for many projects, including retaining walls, residential framing, commercial building framing, light-gage steel fabrication drawings, metal building retrofits and additions, mezzanines, and seismic anchors and restraints.
                   
Providence has designed numerous foundations for a variety of structures. Its foundation design expertise includes metal building foundations, traditional building construction foundations, atypical foundations for residential structures, tower foundations, and sign foundations for a variety of uses and applications.
                   
Providence has also designed and drafted full building plans for several applications. When subcontracting with local professional firms, Providence has the ability to provide basic architectural, mechanical, electrical, and detailed civil and structural design services for these facilities.
                   
Providence has reviewed designs by manufacturers for a variety of structures and structural components, including retaining walls, radio towers, tower foundations, sign foundations, timber trusses, light-gage steel trusses, and light-gage steel beams. This service enables clients to take generic designs and have them certified and approved for construction in the desired locality.
                   
Distribution Methods of Products and Services
             
                   
Approximately 90% of the Company's sales are wholesale to lumberyards, home improvement stores, hardware stores, and plumbing and electrical suppliers in Virginia and North Carolina, including Lowe's, Home Depot and 84 Lumber. The Company's relationships with these dealers has strengthened both sales volume and collectibility. Additionally, the Company sells directly to contractors and do-it-yourself homeowners in Virginia and North Carolina. Metwood relies primarily on its own sales force to generate sales; however, the Company has distributors in Virginia, New York, Oklahoma, Arizona, Colorado, Washington and Pennsylvania and also utilizes the salespeople of wholesale yards stocking the Company's products as an additional "sales force." Metwood intends to continue expanding the wholesale marketing of its unique products to retailers and to license the Company's technology and products to increase its distribution outside of Virginia, North Carolina and the South.
                   
Seasonality of Market
               
                   
The Company's sales can be subject to seasonal impacts, as its products are used in residential and commercial construction projects which tend to be at peak levels in Virginia and North Carolina between the months of March and October. Accordingly, the Company's sales tend to be greater in its fourth and first fiscal quarters. However, the Company is expanding into less weather-sensitive markets, such as Florida, Georgia, Arizona, South Carolina and Alabama in order to ameliorate seasonality factors. The Company builds an inventory of its products throughout the winter and spring to support its sales season.

Competition
 
Nationally, there are over one hundred manufacturers of the types of products produced by the Company. However, the majority of these manufacturers are using wood-only products or products without metal reinforcement. Metwood has identified only one other manufacturer in the United States that manufactures a wood-metal floor truss similar to that of the Company. However, Metwood has often found that its products are the only ones that will work within many customers' design specs.
 
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and the Names of Principal Suppliers
 
All of the raw materials used by the Company are readily available on the market from numerous suppliers. The light-gage metal used by the Company is supplied primarily by Marino-Ware, Telling Industries and Wheeling Corrugating Company. The Company's main sources of lumber are BlueLinx and The Contractor Yard. Gerdau Amersteel, Descosteel and Adelphia Metals provide the majority of the Company's rebar. Because of the number of suppliers available to the Company, its decisions in purchasing materials are dictated primarily by price and secondarily by availability. The Company does not anticipate a lack of supply to affect its production; however, a shortage might cause the Company to pass on higher materials prices to its buyers.
 
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers
 
Presently the Company does not have any one customer whose loss would have a substantial impact on the Company's operations.
 
Patents
 
The Company has eight U.S. and four Canadian patents:
 
U.S. Patent No. 5,519,977, "Joist Reinforcing Bracket," a bracket that reinforces wooden joists with a hole for the passage of a utility conduit. The Company refers to this as its floor joist patch kit.
 
U.S. Patent No. 5,625,997, "Composite Beam," a composite beam that includes an elongated metal shell and a pierceable insert for receiving nails, screws or other penetrating fasteners.
 
U.S. Patent No. 5,832,691, "Composite Beam," a composite beam that includes an elongated metal shell and a pierceable insert for receiving nails, screws or other penetrating fasteners. This is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Patent No. 5,625,997.
 
U.S. Patent No. 5,921,053, "Internally Reinforced Girder with Pierceable Nonmetal Components," a girder that includes a pair of c-shaped members secured together so as to form a hollow box, which permits the girder to be secured within a building structure with conventional fasteners such as nails, screws and staples.
 
U.S. Patent Nos. D472,791S, D472,792S, D472,793S, and D477,210S, all modifications of Metwood's Reinforcing Bracket, which will be used for repairs of wood I-joists.
 
14

 
Canadian Patent Nos. 101892, 101893, 101894, and 101895 for the Company's joist reinforcing bracket designs.
 
Need for Government Approval of Principal Products
 
The Company's products must either be sold with an engineer's seal or applicable building code approval. Once that approval is obtained, the products can be used in all fifty states. The Company's Floor Joist Reinforcer received Bureau Officials Code Association ("BOCA") approval in April 2001. Currently, the Company's chief engineer has obtained professional licensure in several states which permit products not building code approved to be sold and used with his seal. The Company expects his licensure in a growing number of states to greatly assist in the uniform acceptability of its products as it expands to new markets.
 
Time Spent During the Last Two Fiscal Years on Research and Development Activities
 
Approximately fifteen percent of the Company's time has been spent during the last two fiscal years researching and developing its metal/wood products, new product lines, and new patents.
 
Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws
 
The Company does not incur any costs to comply with environmental laws. It is an environmentally friendly business in that its products are fabricated from recycled steel.
 
Number of Total Employees and Number of Full-Time Employees
 
The Company had thirty-three employees at March 31, 2007, all of whom were full time.
 
Results of Operations
 
Net Income
 
The Company had net income of $47,229 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, versus a net loss of $2,249 for the three months ended March 31, 2006, an increase of $49,478. The increase in net income was attributable both to a 13% growth in Company sales as well as holding the line on administrative costs comparing 2007 with 2006, enjoying a 7% decrease in those costs for the three months ended March 31, 2007 over 2006 and only a 3% increase for the nine-month period ended March 31, 2007 compared to 2006.
 
Revenues
 
Revenues were $1,056,854 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $933,362 for the same period in 2006, an increase of $123,492, or 13%. For the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, sales were $3,343,345 and $3,092,757, respectively, an increase of 8%. The quarterly increase in 2007 sales over 2006 resulted from both an increase in volume and in selling prices comparing the two periods. Gross margins increased slightly, from 39% to 40% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 2006 and 40% to 46% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.

The Company's significant growth in sales in its most recent quarter resulted from several factors, including increased engineering fees and completion of several large projects. Additionally, the Company experienced record sales in March, in part due to the unseasonably mild weather.
 
Expenses
 
Total administrative expenses were $352,256 and $379,373 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, a decrease of $27,117, or 7%. For the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, administrative expenses were $1,151,118 versus $1,113,629, an increase of $37,489, or 3%. Advertising costs were significantly reduced in 2007 compared to 2006 for both the quarter (38% reduction) and nine-month periods (46% reduction). Payroll expenses decreased 10% for the three-month period in 2007 over 2006, but increased 11% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to the same period in 2006. Payroll increases for the nine months included bonuses paid to sales staff reflecting the previously noted increase in sales volume for those periods. Insurance costs increased significantly for both the three months ended March 31, 2007 compared to 2006 ($10,524, or 79%) and the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2007 compared to 2006 ($21,363, or 46%). These increases were due both to rising
 
Liquidity and Capital Reserves
 
On March 31, 2007, the Company had cash of $223,287 and working capital of $1,545,940. Net cash provided by operating activities was $266,130 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to $160,210 for the nine months ended March 31, 2006. The increased provision of cash in the current year resulted primarily from the collection of accounts receivable for the period and an increase in net income as well as a decrease in the payment of accounts payable and accrued expenses comparing 2007 to 2006.
 
Cash used in investing activities was $142,723 for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 compared to cash used of $213,000 during the same period in the prior year. Cash flows used in investing activities for both periods were for the purchase of fixed assets.
