ITEM 1. BUSINESS

The Company

T.J.T., Inc., an Idaho corporation, was established in 1977. T.J.T., Inc. merged with and into T.J.T., Inc., a Washington corporation on December 13, 1994. The Company’s corporate office is located at 843 N. Washington Street, Emmett, Idaho 83617. Information about the Company is available on the internet at www.tjt-inc.com. Information contained or referenced on our website is not incorporated by reference and does not form a part of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Copies of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and the Executive Officers’ Code of Ethics are available free of charge by calling 1-800-458-3555.

The Company has recycling and distribution locations in Emmett, Idaho; Woodland, California; Chehalis, Washington; and Platteville, Colorado. The Company also manufactures hanger parts in Eugene, Oregon which are used by the manufactured housing producers to attach axles to homes. The Company maintained a sales office in Salem, Oregon and a recycling and distribution plant in Phoenix, Arizona until June of 2003 when both locations were closed. The Company operates in Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas, and southern California through NewCo Tire and Axle, L.L.C. (NewCo), a joint venture established in June 2003.

The Company has two business lines: repairing and reconditioning axles and tires for the manufactured housing industry, and distribution of after-market accessory products to manufactured housing dealers and set-up contractors, as well as siding to on-site house builders.

Recent Events

The manufactured housing industry recovery that began in 2004 was preceded by several years of decreases in manufactured housing production due to extensive repossessions and decreased consumer demand resulting from tightened credit standards. In 2004, production in the Company’s thirteen state market area increased by two percent from fiscal 2003 according to statistics from the Institute for Building Technology and Safety, Inc., a non-profit governmental organization providing

independent evaluations, research, and technical assistance to federal government agencies and formally known as National Conference of States on Building Codes and Standards.

In January 2004, the property lease for the Centralia, Washington facility expired. Therefore, in December 2003, the Washington facility was moved to a new location in Chehalis, Washington. The Company entered into a lease with option to purchase agreement in August 2003. The Company may execute the purchase option at any time prior to the expiration of the lease. Leasehold improvements of approximately $99,000 were made to the property.

In June 2003, the Company entered into a joint venture, NewCo, with West States Recycling, Inc. NewCo engages in the manufactured housing axle and tire recycling business in the Arizona and New Mexico, Kansas, and southern California market areas with plans to expand into other market areas. The Company has a 50 percent ownership interest, and under the terms of the joint venture, the Company will receive 40 percent of net profits or losses. In addition, the Company leases trucks and equipment to the joint venture.

Axle and Tire Reconditioning

The Company buys used axles and tires from manufactured housing dealers throughout the western United States. The axles and tires are detached from the manufactured homes when they are placed on a pad or foundation upon sale and delivery of the manufactured home by the dealer or third party. The Company also buys used axles and tires from independent brokers.

In accordance with criteria set forth in The Federal Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards, Section 3280.904(b), more commonly known as “The HUD Code,” after each use the axles are dismantled, cleaned, inspected, and rebuilt as necessary. This is done in compliance with recycling guidelines and quality assurance programs established and administered by independent third party listing companies. Approximately 30 axles are rebuilt for each eight man-hour shift. Tires are graded and repaired. Axles and tires are then sold to manufactured housing factories. Each axle and tire assembly is used and recycled approximately three times a year. The tires and axles are sold principally to manufactured housing factories and are delivered to their sites.

Sales of reconditioned axles and tires represented 74 percent, 77 percent, and 76 percent of total revenues for the years ended September 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

Accessories and Siding Distribution

The Company sells manufactured housing accessories such as vinyl skirting, piers, and other ancillary products to manufactured housing dealers and set-up contractors. The Company sells vinyl siding to the site-built housing market. In 2004, the Company began selling metal buildings under the accessories and siding distribution segment.

Sales of accessories and siding represented 26 percent, 23 percent, and 24 percent of total revenues for the years ended September 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

Regulatory Matters

Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations govern the maximum per tire load limit for tires used in the transportation of manufactured homes, which in turn dictates the number of axles required for the transport of these homes. Approximately seven axles are required for transport of the average manufactured home. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations require each axle to be reconditioned prior to every use by a certified recycler, and further require periodic inspections of the recycling facilities by an approved third party inspector. Future changes in DOT or

HUD rules and regulations may impact the demand for the Company’s axle and tire reconditioning services.

Target Market and Supply

The Company’s target market is the manufactured housing industry and the site-built construction industry. The Company sells to manufactured housing factories, manufactured housing dealers, set-up contractors, and site-built contractors and remodelers. The Company’s major customers are manufactured housing factories. Three manufacturers collectively represented more than 40 percent of total sales during 2004:

Oakwood/Clayton Homes Corporation	15 percent
Fleetwood Enterprises, Inc.	15 percent
Champion Homes	10 percent

The Company has no one vendor or broker that supplies more than 10 percent of axle and tire purchases. It has one supplier of accessory products, D-Mac, that supplies 11 percent of total accessory products purchased by the Company.

Competition

The Company operates in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, California, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, Montana, Wyoming, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The Company also operates in Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas, and southern California through its joint venture, NewCo Tire and Axle, L.L.C.

Axles and Tires

In the Company’s thirteen-state market area, price competition is intense for both the purchase and sale of axles and tires. The Company has two major competitors within its market area. Barriers to entry are low for the axle and tire business, which could result in additional major competitors.

An injunction was granted in January of 2002 prohibiting certain former employees and directors of the Company (the Bradley Group) from competing against the Company’s axle and tire business as well as the housing accessories business. The injunction expired on January 1, 2004. Therefore, the Bradley Group is now competing with the Company in the Oregon and Washington market areas.

The Company believes it has greater financial resources, a larger geographical presence, and a better reputation for quality, honesty, reliability, and service than its competitors. The Company believes its competitors have a lower cost structure that enables them to acquire market share where price is the customers’ primary concern.

All competitors are believed to be privately held companies having between one and twenty-five employees. The Company estimates that it has a 64 percent market share, and is roughly two times larger than its largest competitor. Since the Company is the only company with readily discernable revenues and industry totals are unknown, estimating market share involves extrapolating numerous estimates and results in a market share number subject to questionable accuracy.

The Company also competes in the Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas, and southern California markets through a joint venture, NewCo Tire & Axle, L.L.C. (NewCo) which was formed in July of 2003. The Company believes there are two major competitors in the joint venture’s market area.

Accessories and Siding

The Company competes for accessory, siding, and metal building sales with building materials distributors and manufactured housing wholesale suppliers which are numerous in all of the Company’s market areas.

The Company competes with numerous competitors for accessories and siding sales with availability and price being the principal methods of competition. The Company believes it has lower prices than local stores providing immediate access to accessories, and higher prices than regional distributors that provide two to fourteen day access. The Company also offers engineered custom metal buildings while providing local customer service and installation assistance.

Industry Overview

Production of manufactured housing in the Company’s market area increased two percent from 2003 to 2004 after several years of decline. Shipments of manufactured homes increased three percent as well. The manufactured housing production and shipment indicators were obtained from the Institute for Building Technology and Safety, Inc., formally known as the National Conference of States on Building Codes and Standards. The Company expects to see market conditions remain static in 2005 or to see slight increases similar to those experienced in fiscal 2004.

Personnel

The Company had a total of 101 employees as of September 30, 2004. None of the Company’s employees are members of a union.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The two properties owned by the Company are a warehouse in Emmett, Idaho, and a processing facility in Platteville, Colorado. The Magna, Utah property, previously owned and used as a small sales office by the Company, was sold in 2003.

The Company leases four properties located in Idaho, California, Washington, and Oregon. Property located in Emmett, Idaho is leased from two related parties, T.J.T. Enterprises and Sheldon-Homedale Family, L.P. The property located in Centralia, Washington was leased through January 1, 2004. The recycling and distribution center located in Centralia is now operated at a facility leased in Chehalis, Washington. The property previously leased for the Phoenix, Arizona facility was subleased until the lease expired in January of 2004. The property leased and located in Eugene, Oregon is only utilized for manufacturing hanger parts and sales of accessories. All properties are adequate and suitable for the needs of the location and are being fully utilized.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company has no material legal proceedings to report.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Form 10-K contains certain forward-looking statements which are based on management’s current expectations. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and other expressions that indicate future events and trends identify forward-looking statements.

In addition, industry conditions that may have an adverse impact on future results include, but are not limited to, low barriers of entry, changes and/or enforcement in legislation or regulations, and competitive pressure on both the purchasing of used axles and tires from manufactured housing dealers and the selling of refurbished axles and tires to manufactured housing factories. The Management’s Discussion and Analysis should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and accompanying notes for the year ended September 30, 2004. All period references are to the Company’s fiscal periods unless otherwise indicated.

Overview

T.J.T., Inc. has two business lines: axle and tire reconditioning, and accessories and siding distribution.

Axle and tire reconditioning sales represent approximately 74 percent of consolidated sales. Axles and tires are purchased from manufactured homes dealers and reconditioned in four locations in the western United States. After axles are reconditioned and certified and tires are inspected and graded, they are sold primarily to manufactured housing factories.

Axle and tire reconditioning is performed at the Company’s locations in Emmett, Idaho; Chehalis, Washington; Woodland, California; and Platteville, Colorado. The Company maintains a manufacturing facility in Eugene, Oregon which manufactures metal hanger parts for attaching axles to manufactured homes and frame components used on manufactured home chassis, and sells dealer accessories items.

The Company sells accessories to manufactured home dealers and set-up contractors from all its locations. The major product lines are vinyl skirting, piers, and related products through the Company’s distribution channels which comprise approximately 650 dealers. The Company also sells vinyl siding to the site-built construction industry out of its Emmett location. In 2004 the Company began selling metal buildings primarily to agricultural markets and registered the trade name Anchor Metal Buildings.

The Company is a 50 percent owner in a joint venture limited liability corporation, NewCo Tire & Axle, L.L.C. (NewCo), which operates an axle and tire reconditioning facility in Arizona and services the Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas and parts of southern California market areas. Plans for expansion into other market areas are currently underway. The Company accounts for the joint venture using

the equity method and does not consolidate the income as the investment does not meet the criteria for consolidation outlined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – an Interpretation of ARB No. 51. The Company recognized $224,000 of undistributed earnings related to its investment in the joint venture, which contributed more than 20 percent to net income for the Company as a whole. Separate financial statements of NewCo will be filed as an Exhibit in Item 15 of an amended Form 10-K within 90 days following the joint venture’s year end, which is October 31, 2004.

Results of Operations

During 2004, the manufactured housing industry experienced an increase in shipments of approximately three percent in the Company’s market area according to the Institute for Building Technology and Safety, Inc., formally known as National Conference of States on Building Codes and Standards. The Company’s sales for the same period reflect a decrease of only .1 percent. The Company’s ongoing operations increased its market share from 2003 to 2004 by 11 percent after excluding $1.9 million of sales generated in the first half of 2003 by the Company’s Arizona facility.

The 2004 fiscal period reflects operating profit for each location compared to losses in 2003 in Colorado and Arizona. The following table summarizes the Company’s revenues and expenses by major categories as a percent of sales for 2004, 2003 and 2002:

	Fiscal years ended September 30
	2004		2003		2002

Axle and tire reconditioning	73.6	%	77.1	%	76.5	%
Manufactured housing accessories and siding	26.4		22.9		23.5
Gross margin	24.5		21.5		21.2

Operating income (loss)	(169		)	(83		)	(391		)

Net Sales

Net sales were virtually the same in 2004 as compared to 2003. In 2004, sales generated from the dealer accessories and siding segment increased 15 percent from 2003 while sales from the axles and tires segment declined five percent during the same period. However, the Company’s Arizona facility, which was closed mid-year in 2003, generated $1.9 million of sales to the axle and tire segment in fiscal 2003. Axle and tire sales generated by locations operating in both 2004 and 2003 increased by eight percent. Therefore, sales volumes of the Company’s five remaining locations in 2004 largely offset the loss of the 2003 Arizona sales.

Net sales during 2003 declined by three percent compared to the same period in 2002 primarily due to the closure of the Arizona location during the 2003 fiscal year. Increases in sales of axles and tires at the Platteville, Colorado facility partially offset the decrease in Arizona sales.

Gross Margin

The Company’s gross profit margin increased three percent in 2004 compared to 2003. Gross margin was positively impacted by higher sales prices for axles and tires, lower purchase costs of used tires, and the elimination of lower margin sales generated by the Phoenix, Arizona facility which was closed in July 2003. In addition, higher margin sales of the accessories and siding segment increased 15 percent in 2004 compared to 2003.

The Company’s gross margin increased .4 percent in 2003 compared to 2002 as a result of higher selling prices of axles and tires in the final quarter of 2003, which were offset by the lower margin sales at the Arizona facility. The Arizona location operated for the first nine months of 2003 but was in operation for the entire year of 2002.

Selling, General, and Administrative

In 2004, selling, general and administrative expenses for the Company increased by 10 percent compared to 2003. The increase is primarily due to higher selling expenses associated with expansion of the dealer accessories product line and performance based incentive pay offset by elimination of overhead expense associated with the Arizona location incurred during the first three quarters of 2003.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by almost 10 percent in 2003 compared to 2002 primarily due to a significant reduction of legal fees associated with prior year legal proceedings and a reduction of overhead expenses as a result of closing the Arizona location in July of 2003.

Net Income

Net income tripled in 2004 increasing to $397,000 compared to $132,000 in 2003. Higher margins generated from an increase in higher margin accessories sales along with higher selling prices and lower purchase costs in the axle and tire segment increased gross profit by $573,000 in 2004 compared to 2003. All locations open in 2004 operated at a profit. The 2003 gross profit reflects losses of $98,000 related to the Phoenix, Arizona facility. The increased margins were offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses resulting from increased sales personnel related to expanding the dealer accessory and after market business and incentive compensation for performance based bonus plans.

The Company also recognized $224,000 of undistributed income in 2004 and $63,000 in 2003 from its interest in NewCo. Rental income received for equipment leased to the joint venture in 2004 was $26,000 compared to $16,000 received in the four months during operation in 2003.

Net income for fiscal period 2003 was $132,000 compared to a loss of $139,000 before the cumulative effect of implementing SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets in the first

quarter of 2002. The improvement was primarily due to a decrease of selling, general and administrative expenses of $450,000 and improved operating results at the Company’s Colorado and California locations. Losses generated by the Arizona facility during the 2003 and 2002 fiscal periods were $98,000 and $339,000, respectively.

Income recognized on investment property sales was $170,000, $68,000, and $116,000 in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively. The Company plans to liquidate the remaining investment properties, which have a book value of $224,000 as of September 30, 2004, as permitted by market conditions.

Seasonality

The manufactured housing industry and the site-built construction industry are seasonal within the majority of the Company’s market area. Typically, sales for the months from November through March are lower than for other months due to weather and ground conditions. Assuming normal weather conditions, the Company expects the quarters ended September 30 and June 30 to be higher volume quarters and the quarter ended March 31 to be the lowest volume quarter. The following table summarizes operating results by quarter and demonstrates the seasonal nature of TJT’s operations:

	December 31			March 31			June 30		September 30

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating activities for 2004 used cash of $218,000 compared to operating activities in 2003 which provided cash of $306,000. In 2004, the Company increased housing accessories inventory levels as a result of adding new product lines and changing suppliers of certain tie down accessories. In addition, a contractual agreement with a major customer who also supplies tires and axles to the Company, significantly reduced the payment terms on purchases made by the Company. Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased by $95,000 in 2004, of which $87,000 is a result of direct deposit amounts related to the October 1^st payroll clearing the bank in September, as well as increases in advances to tire and axle buyers.

Investing activities used $11,000 of cash during 2004 compared to $1,000 in 2003. Amounts received on notes receivable and investment property sales during 2004 were more than offset by $122,000 of leasehold improvements made to the Chehalis, Washington and Eugene, Oregon facilities along with $105,000 invested in trucks, trailers, and equipment. The Company invested approximately $40,000 in necessary upgrades to the information systems and accounting software during 2004. Also, $17,000 was used to further develop property parcels owned by the Company to increase market appeal. Investment property sales contributed $158,000 and $153,000 to cash flow from investing activities for the periods ending September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The Company will continue to focus on liquidating its current investment property holdings and expects to see similar

results in fiscal 2005. The Company made an advance in exchange for a note receivable from a related party which is discussed further in Note K of the financial statements.

On March 31, 2004, the Company renewed a $350,000 revolving credit facility that matures on March 31, 2005 and is secured by receivables and inventory. The interest rate on the credit line is the prime rate plus one percent. As of September 30, 2004, the Company has not borrowed on the line and is in compliance with all covenants. The Company expects that cash flow from operations combined with the line of credit will be a sufficient source of liquidity to fund operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing the financial statements, management makes many estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported in the financial statements and related accompanying notes. Changes in most of the estimates and assumptions would not likely materially affect the Company’s financial position and results of operations. However, calculations related to inventory, shipping expenses and deferred tax assets involve subjective judgments, estimates, and assumptions that could produce materially different results if different judgments, estimates, or assumptions were used.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at lower of cost or market. Cost of the Company’s tire and axle inventory includes unprocessed or raw tires and axles as well as processed or finished tires and axles. A portion of the costs incurred in acquiring and processing the tires and axles is allocated to finished inventory based on the number of tires and axles processed at the end of the period. The Company estimates per unit processing and gathering costs based upon labor and manufacturing overhead costs.

The Company reviews inventory for slow moving or obsolete items on a regular basis. Inventory is written-down based on specific identification, taking into consideration demand in certain markets and other industry conditions. If actual demand or market conditions are less favorable than those estimated, additional write-downs may be necessary.

Shipping Allocation

The Company allocates to cost of goods sold a portion of the costs associated with gathering and distributing products (shipping costs). These expenses include labor for drivers, fuel, equipment operating leases as well as maintenance and depreciation, along with other expenses related to travel and per diem. These shipping costs are allocated based upon an estimate of the level of gathering and distribution utilized by department and segment of business for each facility operated by the Company. The estimates associated with gathering and delivering tires and axles to manufactured housing factories are allocated to cost of goods sold for each location. Although the estimates used to allocate shipping costs are subjective, they do not change the net income results. However, the allocation to cost of goods sold could impact the gross margin analysis for both business segments from period to period if the estimated levels of shipping costs change significantly.

Income Taxes

The Company’s accompanying Balance Sheets include deferred tax assets resulting from temporary differences, which are expected to reduce future taxable income. Management estimates the realizability of these assets based upon forecasted taxable income. The realizability of these assets is reassessed at the end of each reporting period or as significant events occur which may impact management’s assessment. Failure to achieve forecasted taxable income could affect the realization of certain deferred tax assets, and could result in the recording of a valuation reserve.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Joint Venture

The Company entered into a joint venture, NewCo, to engage in the manufactured housing axle and tire recycling business in Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas and southern California. The Company has 50 percent ownership interest in the joint venture and will receive 40 percent of the net profits or losses. The Company also receives rental income from NewCo for equipment leased to the joint venture. The Company recognized $224,000 and $63,000 of income in 2004 and 2003, respectively, related to the investment as is further described in Footnote N of the financial statements.

The Company contributed $130,000 in cash and $259,000 of inventory during 2003. No capital contributions were made during 2004. Further capital contributions to NewCo are limited to an additional $20,000 in aggregate unless both parties agree to the additional contributions and are willing to contribute 50 percent of the required capital. The Company’s exposure is limited to amounts contributed as of the end of 2003 as well as amounts included in trade receivables, which approximate $2,000 in 2004 and $16,000 in 2003. The Company accounts for its interest in the joint venture using the equity method.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes the Company’s significant contractual obligations at September 30, 2004, and the effect the obligations are expected to have on the Company’s cash flow in future periods.

	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		3-5 years		More than 5 years

Operating leases	$	624,400	$	236,126	$	287,654	$	86,375	$	14,245

The timing of payment amounts of the obligations listed above are estimated based upon current information. The timing of payments and actual amounts paid may be different depending on potential changes to lease agreements. The amounts above include leases that are non-cancelable.

The Company does not have any long-term debt obligations or any other agreements that require fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased that are enforceable or legally binding purchase agreements.

Company Strategy

The Company will endeavor to maintain its market share and profit margins in the axle and tire segment of the business. The Company expects demand to increase over the next year and as a result could encounter supply shortages in used tires and axles. The Company plans to protect profit margins through careful planning, good purchasing practices, and judicious price increases for reconditioned axles and used tires. Prior experience indicates that should the demand for used tires and axles exceed availability, it would be possible to supplement supply with new product at comparable profit margins.

The Company’s growth strategies for fiscal 2005 include research and development of carefully selected new product lines for addition into the accessories and siding distribution segment, and a significantly expanded marketing effort for Anchor Metal Buildings®. The marketing plan for Anchor Metal Buildings® includes strategic placement of model building sales centers, providing one-stop shopping service to customers throughout the northwest and northern California, as well as expanded product offerings through improved design and engineering.

These strategies are consistent with our continuing quest to develop a more diversified and equal business base for the Company.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2004, 2003 and 2002

NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business Activity

The Company is engaged in the business of repairing and reconditioning axles and tires for the manufactured housing industry. The Company also sells skirting and other aftermarket accessories to manufactured housing dealers, and vinyl siding primarily to the site-built housing market. The Company grants trade credit to customers in Idaho, Oregon, California, Utah, Washington, Montana, Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota, and South Dakota, substantially all of whom are manufactured housing factories, manufactured housing dealers, site-built home contractors or siding contractors.

The Company operates in two business segments: Axle and Tire Reconditioning and Accessories and Siding Distribution. These segments have been determined by evaluating the Company’s internal reporting structure and nature of products offered.

Major Suppliers and Customers

The Company had no single supplier of axles and tires that represented 10 percent or more of total purchases. The Company had one supplier of accessory products, D-Mac, that supplied 11 percent of total accessories purchases. The Company has certain major customers for reconditioned axles and tires, all of which are manufactured housing producers. Three companies have purchases representing 10 percent or more of sales:

	2004	2003	2002
Company A	15	17	15
Company B	10	—	10
Company C	15	14	12

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash balances are invested in highly rated financial institutions and may at times exceed FDIC insured limits.

Receivables

The Company performs credit history checks and limited financial analysis before credit terms are offered to customers. Accounts receivable are generally unsecured. Bad debts are accounted for using the allowance method. Expense is recognized based on an estimate of uncollectible accounts. Trade receivables are reported in the balance sheet net of any chargeoffs and the allowance for doubtful accounts.

Notes receivable consist primarily of amounts owed by individuals as a result of the sale of real estate and are generally secured by the real estate sold.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives for financial reporting purposes.

Useful lives for property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Land and building		5-30 years
Leasehold improvements		3-19 years
Furniture and equipment		3-7 years
Vehicles and trailers		3-7 years

Repairs and maintenance costs which do not extend the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are charged to expense in the period incurred.

Deferred Charges and Other Assets

Deferred charges and other assets consist primarily of contractual rights under a split-dollar life insurance agreement on the life of Terrence Sheldon. The Company owns the policy and pays the premium, and will recover all premiums paid by the Company in 2018, or upon the death of Mr. Sheldon, if earlier.

Goodwill

Goodwill previously consisted of the excess of purchase price paid over net assets acquired. Effective October 1, 2001, the Company implemented SFAS 142, and performed the initial goodwill test. The impairment test involved estimating fair market values for tangible assets and liabilities and comparing the net tangible values to quoted market prices for the Company’s stock. As of October 1, 2001 the Company’s net tangible value was substantially in excess of quoted market prices for the Company’s stock and a cumulative effect of accounting change of $748,000 was recorded. The cumulative effect of accounting change consists of a $790,000 writedown of goodwill assigned to the Company’s axle and tire reconditioning segment, offset by a $42,000 tax benefit.

Goodwill at October 1	$	790

Goodwill at September 30	$	—

Stock Based Compensation

The Company has a stock option plan which allows officers, directors and key employees to receive non-qualified and incentive stock options. The Company awarded 20,000 stock options to directors during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 with exercise prices ranging between $.70 and $.80. During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Company granted 5,000 stock options with an exercise price of $.70 to a director. There were no options granted during the first and final quarters of fiscal 2004. All options granted will become vested at a rate of 20 percent each year for a period of five years from the grant date. As of September 30, 2004, 380,000 shares of stock were available for future option grants.

As of October 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock options contained in Statement of Financial Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. During the transition period, the Company will be utilizing the prospective method under SFAS No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosures. Stock options granted subsequent to October 1, 2003 will be expensed over the stock option vesting period based on fair value which will be determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method at the

date the options are granted. Stock-based compensation for the period ended September 30, 2004 was $3,000. The net of tax impact on the financial statements during fiscal 2004 approximated $2,000.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share as if the fair value method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period:

(In thousands, except per share amounts)	2004		2003		2002
Net income (loss), as reported	$	397	$	132	$	(887	)

Add: stock-based employee compensation expense included in net income, net of tax	2		—		—
Deduct: stock-based compensation expense determined under fair value method for all awards, net of tax	8		9		12

Pro forma net income (loss)	$	391	$	123	$	(899	)

Earnings per share:
Basic – as reported	$	.09	$	.03	$	(.20	)
Basic – pro forma	$	.09	$	.03	$	(.20	)

Deferred Gains

Deferred gains include gains on the sale of land held for investment where the Company provided virtually 100 percent financing to the buyer under an installment sale. The Company recognizes interest income and then a reduction of the principal balance to the extent of payments received on the related notes receivable until it has received 25 percent or more of the original principal balance, at which point the remaining deferred gain is recognized if the balance is deemed collectible.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method under which deferred income taxes are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured by applying enacted tax rates and laws to taxable years in which such differences are expected to reverse. Management has determined that expected future earnings will be sufficient for all deferred tax assets to be realizable before their expiration. Accordingly, no valuation allowance has been offset against deferred tax assets.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed based on net income and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS except that the weighted average of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of potential additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive options had been exercised. Although basic EPS was not impacted by the dilutive options for each year presented, 130,000, 123,000, and 88,000 of the total options outstanding at September 30, 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively, were not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation because the exercise price of the options were greater than the average market price of the common shares.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue at the time delivery is made to the customer, or when used by the customer in the case of consigned inventory. No agreements exist requiring any performance by the Company subsequent to the sale.

Concentration of Credit Risk

All trade receivables are due from entities involved in the housing industry and are unsecured. The accounting loss incurred if all parties failed entirely to perform on their obligation is equal to the balance outstanding for trade accounts receivable.

Notes receivable related to sales of real estate held for investment are secured by real estate located in Idaho and Utah. Other portions of the notes receivable are secured by receivables. The accounting loss incurred if all parties failed entirely to perform on their obligation is equal to the balance outstanding on the notes receivable less amounts realizable from the foreclosure and resale of the assets securing the notes receivable.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company has a number of nonderivative financial instruments, none of which are held for trading purposes. The recorded amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities as presented in the financial statements approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The recorded amount of short and long-term borrowings approximates fair value as the interest rates approximate current competitive rates. The estimated fair values have been determined by the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value and the estimates are not necessarily indicative of amounts the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Significant Estimates

The presentation of financial statements in conformity with the 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Listed below are the estimates and assumptions that management considers to be significant in the preparation of its financial statements. Significant estimates used in preparing these financial statements are as follows:

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts — The Company estimates losses for uncollectible accounts based on the aging of the accounts receivable and an evaluation of the likelihood of success in collecting the receivable.

Inventory Lower-of-Cost-or-Market – The Company assesses the estimated net realizable value of inventory on hand for the purposes of costing at the lower of cost or market.

Inventory Obsolescence Allowance – The Company evaluates the expected salability and usefulness of inventory on hand for purposes of determining the presence of obsolescence for old, defective, or outdated inventory.

It is reasonably possible that the significant estimates may change within the next year.

Reclassifications

Certain 2003 and 2002 amounts have been reclassified to conform with 2004 presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In September 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 04-10, Applying Paragraph 19 of FAS 131 in Determining Whether to Aggregate Operating Segments That Do Not Meet the Quantitative Thresholds. The consensus states that operating segments that do not meet the quantitative thresholds can be aggregated only if aggregation is consistent with the objective and basic principles of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, the segments have similar economic characteristics, and the segments share a majority of the aggregation criteria (a)-(e) listed in paragraph 17 of SFAS 131. The effective date of the consensus in this Issue is for fiscal years ending after October 13, 2004. If the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) ratifies EITF Issue No. 04-10, the Company does not anticipate a material impact on the financial statements.

In March 2004, the EITF reached a consensus on the remaining portions of EITF 03-01, The Meaning of Other-Than-Temporary Impairment and Its Application to Certain Investments with an effective date of June 15, 2004. EITF 03-01 provides new disclosure requirements for other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity investments. Investors are required to disclose quantitative information about: (i) the aggregate amount of unrealized losses, and (ii) the aggregate related fair values of investments with unrealized losses, segregated into time periods during which the investment has been in an unrealized loss position of less than 12 months and greater than 12 months. In addition, investors are required to disclose the qualitative information that supports their conclusion that the impairments noted in the qualitative disclosure are not other-than temporary. The Company does not expect EITF 03-01 to have a material impact on the financial statements.

In March 2004, the EITF reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 03-6, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share. EITF Issue No. 03-6 clarifies what constitutes a participating security and provides further guidance in applying the two-class method of calculating earnings per share. The consensuses reached by the Task Force on EITF Issue No. 03-6 were ratified by the FASB on March 31, 2004, and are effective for reporting periods beginning after March 31, 2004. The Company currently has only one class of stock issued and does not expect EITF Issue No. 03-6 to materially impact the financial statements.

The FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148 in December 2002. This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, this Statement amends the disclosure requirements of Statement 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. Prior to fiscal 2004, the Company accounted for its employee stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method while meeting the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 148. Effective October 1, 2003, the Company adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock options in accordance with Statement No. 148. During the transition period, the Company will utilize the prospective method. Stock options granted subsequent to October 1, 2003 will be expensed over the stock options vesting period based on fair value which will be determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing method at the date the options are granted.

On March 31, 2004, the FASB issued Revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards-Share-Based Payment, effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2004. This Statement was published by the FASB on December 16, 2004 and supercedes SFAS 123, which allowed for footnote

disclosure of this expense. The Company adopted Statement No. 148 in 2004 and, therefore, does not expect this Statement to have a material impact on the financial statements.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – an interpretation of ARB No. 51, which provides guidance on the identification of and reporting for variable interest entities. Interpretation No. 46 expands the criteria for consideration in determining whether a variable interest entity should be consolidated. Interpretation No. 46 is effective immediately for variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003, and to variable interest entities in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. Interpretation No. 46 is effective for the Company in 2003 because the Company entered into a joint venture with West States Recycling, Inc. on June 9, 2003. The Company has a 50 percent interest in ownership and a 40 percent interest in future net profits or losses. The Interpretation requires unconsolidated variable interest entities to be consolidated by their primary beneficiaries. The primary beneficiary is the party that assumes the majority of the risk which includes, but is not limited to, the entity’s expected losses. Therefore, in accordance with Interpretation No. 46, the Company will not consolidate the joint venture financial information since the primary beneficiary is West States Recycling, Inc.

NOTE F - CREDIT FACILITY

NOTE G – CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF ACCOUNTING CHANGE

The Company implemented SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, and performed the initial goodwill impairment test in 2002. The impairment test involved estimating fair market values for tangible assets and liabilities and comparing the net tangible values to quoted market prices for the Company’s stock. As of October 1, 2001 the Company’s net tangible value was substantially in excess of quoted market prices for the Company’s stock and a cumulative effect of accounting change of $748,000 was recorded. The cumulative effect of accounting change consists of a $790,000 writedown of goodwill assigned to the Company’s axle and tire reconditioning segment, offset by a $42,000 tax benefit.

Net income adjusted to exclude amortization expense and related tax benefit is as follows:

For the twelve months ended September 30,	2002

Reported net income	$	(887	)
Goodwill amortization	—
Tax benefit of goodwill amortization	—
Adjusted net income	$	(887	)

There would be no change in earnings per share had goodwill not been amortized during 2002.

In October 1996, the Company made a personal loan to Jerry L. Radandt for $46,594 at an interest rate of 12.22 percent. During fiscal 2001 the loan was amended to an interest rate of prime plus two percent and secured by property, which was subsequently sold resulting in $30,000 of the loan being paid off. The outstanding principal loan balance, which is included in the totals specified above, is $3,187 and $9,992 for September 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Terrence Sheldon, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Jerry L. Radandt are equal partners in T.J.T. Enterprises.

In addition, Leo Radandt is an outside supplier of tires and axles to the Company. The Company purchased approximately $866,000 of materials from Wholesale Tire and Axle, which is owned by Leo Radandt, during fiscal 2004.

As more fully described in Note N, the Company is a 50 percent partner in a joint venture, NewCo Tire & Axle, L.L.C., with West States Recycling, Inc.

Rental income recognized from NewCo during 2004 and 2003 was $26,000 and $16,000, respectively.

The Company purchases piers and other materials used to set-up manufactured homes from D-Mac, LLC, which is owned by two individuals with each individual owning 50 percent. Robert B. Siegel, elected Director of the Company in February 2002, is one of the individuals. The Company purchased approximately $606,000 and $448,500 of materials from D-Mac in 2004 and 2003, respectively.

NOTE L - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

The Company has a 401(k) plan through which the employer matches 50 percent of employees’ contributions up to six percent of wages.

Employer contributions to the plan were $30,743, $33,371, and $40,022 in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively.

The Company had accrued approximately $30,000 for incurred but not reported items in 2003 and 2002 associated with self-insured employee medical benefits. As of October 1, 2003, the Company was no longer self-insured for employee medical benefits. The Company’s employees are now insured through a traditional medical care plan. The Company will continue to self-insure for employee dental benefits with no plans to accrue for incurred but not reported items as these amounts are insignificant.

NOTE M – BUSINESS SEGMENTS

The Company operates in two business segments: Axles and Tire Reconditioning and Accessories and Siding Distribution. These segments have been determined by evaluating the Company’s internal reporting structure and nature of products offered.

Axles and Tire Reconditioning: The Company provides reconditioned axles and tires to manufactured housing factories.

Accessories and Siding Distribution: The Company provides skirting, siding, and other aftermarket accessories to manufactured housing dealers and contractors.

NOTE N – JOINT VENTURE

The Company has a 50 percent ownership interest in a joint venture, NewCo Tire & Axle, L.L.C. (NewCo), which was formed to engage in the manufactured housing axle and tire recycling business in Arizona, New Mexico, Kansas and parts of southern California. Under the joint venture agreement, the Company contributed cash and inventory amounting to $389,000 for its initial investment in 2003. Further capital contributions to NewCo are limited to an additional $20,000 in aggregate unless both parties agree to the additional contributions and are willing to contribute 50 percent of the required capital. The Company has a 40 percent interest in net profits or losses. The investment in the joint venture is accounted for using the equity method of accounting, under which the Company’s initial investment is adjusted for its proportionate share of net profits and losses and distributed earnings, if any. NewCo has not made any distributions of profits during 2003 or 2004 to the joint venture members.

Concurrent with the formation of the joint venture, the Company leases trucks and equipment to NewCo. Gross rental income recognized from the NewCo leases was approximately $26,000 and $16,000 in 2004 and 2003, respectively. The following information summarizes the activity of the joint venture:
