Background
References
to "we," "us," "our", "our company" and "the company" refer to Surge Components,
Inc. ("Surge" or the "Company") and, unless the context indicates otherwise,
includes Surge's wholly-owned subsidiaries, Challenge/Surge, Inc. ("Challenge"),
Surge Components, Limited ("Surge Limited”).
We were
incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on November 24, 1981.
Surge, a supplier of electronic products and components, i.e. capacitors,
diodes, PC Boards completed an initial public offering of its securities in 1984
and a second offering of its securities in August 1996. Challenge, a New York
corporation formed in 1988 and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Surge, supplies
audible products, including buzzers, speakers, and microphones. Surge's and
Challenge's principal executive offices are located at 95 East Jefryn Boulevard,
Deer Park, New York 11729; and the
telephone number is (631) 595-1818.
In May
2002, Surge and an officer of Surge became sole owners of Surge Components,
Limited ("Surge Limited"), a Hong Kong corporation. Under current Hong Kong law,
Surge Limited is required to have at least two shareholders. Surge owns 999
shares of the outstanding common stock and an officer of Surge owns one share of
the outstanding common stock. The officer of Surge has assigned his rights
regarding his one share to Surge. Surge Limited started doing business in July
2002. The Company has opened this office and hired direct sales people in order
to effectively handle the transfer business from United States customers
purchasing and manufacturing in Asia after they do the design in America. This
office has strengthened its global capabilities and service to its customer
base
We are a
supplier of electronic products and components. These products include
capacitors, which are electrical energy storage devices, and discrete
components, such as semiconductor rectifiers, transistors and diodes, which are
single function low power semiconductor products that are packaged alone as
compared to integrated circuits such as microprocessors. Our products are
typically utilized in the electronic circuitry of diverse products, including,
but not limited to, automobiles, telecomm, audio, cellular telephones,
computers, consumer electronics, garage door openers, household appliances,
power supplies and security equipment. Our products are sold to both original
equipment manufacturers, commonly referred to as OEMs, who incorporate them into
their products, and to distributors of our product lines, who resell these
products within their customer base. Our products are manufactured
predominantly in Asia by approximately sixteen independent manufacturers. We do
not have any binding long-term supply, distribution or franchise agreements with
our manufacturers. We act as the exclusive sales agent utilizing independent
sales representative organizations in North America to sell and market the
products for many of such manufacturers pursuant to oral agreements. Challenge
engages in the electronic components and products broker distribution business.
Challenge purchases name brand electronic components and products, typically
from domestic manufacturers and authorized distributors, to fill specific
customer orders. Challenge purchases these components and products in the open
market on the best available terms and generally keeps inventories of these
products. Challenge's revenues are principally derived from the sale of audible
products. In 1999, Challenge began a division to sell audible components. This
division has shown steady growth every year. We have recently added additional
products that include battery snaps and coin cell holders, which are expected to
contribute significant sales going forward. We are continuing to add
distributors and representatives every month. Challenge`s other division is the
broker division which is slowly improving. There seems to be more shortages in
the electronics market, and lead times for components are stretching out, which
may enable us to secure more orders going forward.
In order
for us to grow, we will depend on, among other things, the continued growth of
the electronics and semiconductor industries, our ability to withstand intense
price competition, our ability to obtain new clients,
our ability to retain sales and other personnel in order to expand our marketing
capabilities, our ability to secure adequate sources of products, which are in
demand on commercially reasonable terms, our success in managing growth,
including monitoring an expanded level of operations and controlling costs, and
the availability of adequate financing.
Industry
Background
The
United States electronics distribution industry is composed of manufacturers,
national and international distributors, as well as regional and local
distributors. Electronics distributors market numerous products, including
active components (such as transistors, microprocessors, integrated circuits and
semiconductors), passive components (such as capacitors and audibles), and
electro mechanical, interconnect (such as connectors and wire) and computer
products. Surge focuses its efforts on the distribution of capacitors, discrete
components, and audible products.
The
electronics industry has been characterized by intense price cutting and rapid
technological changes and development, which could materially adversely affect
our future operating results. In addition, the industry has been affected
historically by general economic downturns, which have had an adverse economic
effect upon manufacturers and end-users of our products, as well as
distributors. Furthermore, the life-cycle of existing electronic products and
the timing of new product development and introduction can affect the demand for
electronic components, including our products. Accordingly, any downturn in the
electronics industry in general could adversely affect our business and results
of operations. There are forces of change affecting the wholesale
distribution industry, including the electronics industry. The industry is
experiencing a strong move by U.S. manufacturers to design products in the
United States, but then shift manufacturing and purchasing to Asia to benefit
from this low cost labor region using their own factory or a subcontractor.
Surge has responded to this trend by setting up a Hong Kong corporation, Surge
Components, Limited, and hiring sales staff to better position the Company in
the Asian markets.
Products
Surge
supplies a wide variety of electronic components (some of which bear our private
"Surge" label) which can be broadly divided into two categories—capacitors and
discrete components. For Fiscal 2009 and Fiscal 2008, capacitors accounted for
approximately 50% and 50% of Surge's sales, respectively. Discrete components
accounted for Surge's remaining sales in Fiscal 2009 and Fiscal 2008. Capacitors
and discrete components can be categorized based on various factors, including
function, construction, fabrication and capacity. The principal products sold by
Surge under the Surge name or by Challenge are set forth below.
Capacitors
A
capacitor is an electrical energy storage device used in the electronics
industry for varied applications, principally as elements of resonant circuits,
coupling and bypass applications, blockage of DC current, frequency determining
and timing elements, filters and delay-line components, and voltage transient
suppression (circuit protection devices). All products are available in
traditional leaded as well as surface mount (chip) packages. Our product line of
capacitors includes:
Aluminum
Electrolytic Capacitors- These capacitors, which are Surge's principal product,
are storage devices used in power applications to store and release energy as
the electronic circuitry demands. They are commonly used in power supplies and
can be found in a wide range of consumer electronics products. Our supplier is
one of the largest facilities for these products in Taiwan and China. This
facilities are fully certified for the International Quality Standard ISO 9001
and QS9000, and TS16949, which means that it meets the strictest requirements
established by the automotive industry and adopted throughout the world to
ensure that the facility's manufacturing processes, equipment and associated
quality control systems will satisfy specific customer requirements. This system
is also intended and designed to facilitate clear and thorough record keeping of
all quality control and testing information and to ensure clear communication
from one department to another about the information (i.e., quality control,
production or engineering). This certification permits us to monitor quality
control/manufacturing process information and to respond to any customer
questions.
Ceramic
Capacitors- These capacitors are the least expensive, and are widely used in the
electronics industry. They are commonly used to bypass or filter semiconductors
in resonant circuits and are found predominantly in a wide range of low cost
products including computer, telecom, appliances, games and toys.
Mylar
Film Capacitors- These capacitors are frequently used for noise suppression and
filtering. They are commonly used in telecommunication and computer products.
Surge's suppliers in China have facilities fully certified for all of the above
mentioned certifications.
Discrete
Components- Discrete components, such as semiconductor rectifiers, transistors
and diodes, are packaged individually to perform a single or limited function,
in contrast to integrated circuits, such as microprocessors and other "chips",
which contain from only a few diodes to as many as several million diodes and
other elements in a single package, and are usually designed to perform complex
tasks. Surge almost exclusively distributes discrete, low power semiconductor
components rather than integrated circuits.
Our
product line of discrete components includes:
Rectifiers-
Low power semiconductor rectifiers are devices that convert alternating current,
or AC power, into one directional current, or DC power, by permitting current to
flow in one direction only. They tend to be found in most electrical
apparatuses, especially those drawing power from an AC wall
outlet.
Surge
offers a wide variety of rectifiers, including:
-
Schottky barrier rectifiers;
-
super-fast rectifiers;
-
ultra-fast/high efficiency rectifiers;
- fast
recovery rectifiers, the time within which the
current recovers from spikes of voltage or current;
- fast
recovery glass passivated rectifiers, a chip coated
with a glass material to protect the component from thermal
stress in a circuit;
- silicon
rectifiers, which utilize silicon rectifying
cells designed to withstand large currents and high voltages;
- soft
recovery/fast switching rectifiers;
- high
voltage rectifiers;
- bridge
rectifiers, which connect multiple circuits in
parallel;
- self
packaged surface mount rectifiers, chip style without
leads and used in miniaturization; and
- auto
rectifiers.
All
products are available in traditional leaded as well as surface mount (chip)
packages. Surge's rectifier suppliers all have the afore mentioned
certifications, giving us an opportunity to market our products to the
automotive industry.
Transistors-
These products send a signal to the circuit for transmission of waves. They are
commonly used in applications involving the processing or amplification of
electric current and electric signals, including data, television, sound and
power. All products are available in traditional leaded as well as surface mount
(chip) packages. Surge sells many types of ISO 9002 transistors,
including:
- small
signal transistors, designed for lower levels of
current; and
- power
transistors, designed for large currents to safely
dissipate large amounts of power.
Diodes-
Diodes are two-lead or surface mount components that allow electric current to
flow in only one direction. They are used in a variety of electronic
applications, including signal processing and direction of current.
All
products are available in traditional leaded as well as surface mount (chip)
packages. Diodes sold include:
- zener
diodes;
- high
speed switching diodes; and
-
rectifiers, the most popular type of diode.
Circuit
Protection Devices- Our circuit protection devices include transient voltage
suppressors and metal oxide varistors, which protect circuits against switching,
lightning surges and other uncontrolled power surges and/or interruptions in
circuits. Transient voltage suppressors, which offer a higher level of
protection for the circuit, are required in telecommunication products and are
typically higher priced products than the metal oxide varistors, which are more
economically priced and are used in consumer products. All products are
available in traditional leaded as well as surface mount (chip)
packages.
Audible
Components- These include audible transducers, Piezo buzzers, speakers, and
microphones, which produce an audible sound for, and are used in back-up power
supplies for computers, alarms, appliances, smoke detectors, automobiles,
telephones and other products which produce sounds. Challenge has initiated
marketing relationships with certain Asian manufacturers of audible components
to sell these products worldwide. All products are available in traditional
leaded as well as surface mount (chip) packages.
New
Products- We periodically introduce new products, which are intended to
complement our existing product lines. These products are ones that are commonly
used in the same circuit designs as other of our products and will further
provide a one- stop-shop for the customer. Some of these products are common
items used in all applications and others are niche items with a focus towards a
particular application. These new products include fuses, printed circuit boards
and switches. All products are available in traditional leaded as well as
surface mount (chip) versions.
Inventory
In order
to adequately service our customers' needs, we believe that it is necessary to
maintain large inventories, which makes us more susceptible to price and
technology changes. At any given time, we attempt to maintain a one-to-two month
inventory on certain products in high demand for customers and at least one
month for other products. Our inventory currently contains more than 100 million
component units consisting of more than 3,000 different part numbers. Our
products range in sales price from less than one cent for a commercial diode to
more than $2.00 for high power capacitors and semiconductors. As of November,
2009, we maintained inventory valued at $1,619,263.
As a
result of our strategic inventory purchasing policies, under which we obtain
preferential pricing, we generally waive rights to manufacturers' inventory
protection agreements (including price protection and inventory return rights),
and thereby bear the risk of increases in the prices charged by our
manufacturers and decreases in the prices of products held in our inventory or
covered by purchase commitments. If prices of components, which we hold in
inventory decline, or if new technology is developed that displaces products
that we sell, our business could be materially adversely affected.
Challenge
is in the broker distribution business and fills orders from customers that need
electronic components and products that are not readily available from their
suppliers. Throughout Fiscal 2009, there was an excess of electronics products
in the United States markets. The excess of electronics products resulted in
decreased business among broker distributors. Challenge has obtained and is
seeking to obtain additional product rights to certain brand name product lines
and to establish direct relationships with those manufacturers for the audible
products and fans.
Although
we cannot be certain, we believe that the broker distribution business will
continue to change and that many of such businesses will have difficulties
surviving if they have insufficient resources to compete with the factory-direct
distributors. In furtherance of this belief, in late 1999 Challenge began to
develop a new product division of speakers, fans and buzzers manufactured in
Asia sold under the Challenge name, broadening our product marketing, and
protecting the company from potential downturn in the broker
market.
Product
Availability
Surge
obtains substantially all of its products from manufacturers in Asia, while
Challenge historically purchases its products both domestically and from Asia.
However, in Fiscal 2009 and Fiscal 2008, Challenge purchased approximately 77%
and 91%, respectively, of its products overseas as a result of Challenge's
introduction of new product lines. Of the total goods purchased by Surge and
Challenge in Fiscal 2009, those foreign manufactured products were supplied from
manufacturers in Taiwan (53%), Hong Kong (17%), elsewhere in Asia (19%) and
overseas outside of Asia (1%). Surge purchases its products from approximately
sixteen different manufacturers, for many of which we act as sales agent in
North America based on an oral agreement.
In
December 2000, Surge launched a joint-venture limited liability company with
Lelon, a Taiwan corporation, which ceased operating in 2006.
Most of
the facilities that manufacture products for Surge have obtained International
Quality Standard ISO 9002 and other certifications. We typically purchase our
products in United States currency in order to minimize the risk of currency
fluctuations. In most cases, Surge utilizes two or more alternative sources of
supply for each of its products with one primary and one complementary supplier
for each product. Surge's relationships with many of its suppliers date back to
the commencement of our import operations in 1983. We have
established payment terms with our manufacturers of between 30 and 60 day open
account terms.
We do not
have any written long-term supply, distribution or franchise agreements with any
of our manufacturers. We act as the sales agent in North America for many
of our manufacturers, pursuant to oral agreements. While we believe that we have
established close working relationships with our principal manufacturers, our
success depends, in large part, on maintaining these relationships and
developing new supplier relationships for our existing and future product lines.
Because
of the lack of long- term contracts, we may not be able to maintain these
relationships.
For
Fiscal 2009 and Fiscal 2008, one of Surge's vendors accounted for approximately
46% and 44% of Surge's consolidated purchases. The loss of or a significant
disruption in the relationship with any of our major suppliers could have a
material adverse effect on our business and results of operations until a
suitable replacement could be obtained.
The
components business has, from time to time, experienced periods of extreme
shortages in product supply, generally as the result of demand exceeding
available supply. When these shortages occur, suppliers tend to either increase
prices or reduce the number of units sold to customers. We believe that because
of our inventory and our relationships with our manufacturers, we have been able
to mitigate the effect of any of these shortages in components. However, should
there be shortages in the future, such
shortages could have both a beneficial or an adverse effect upon our business.
Conversely, due to poor market demand, there could be an excess of components in
the market, causing stronger competition and an erosion of prices.
Marketing
and Sales
Surge's
sales efforts are directed towards Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
customers in numerous industries where our products have wide application. Surge
currently employs twelve sales and marketing personnel, including two of its
executive officers, who are responsible for certain key customer relationships.
Our executive officers also devote a significant amount of time to developing
and maintaining continuing relations with our key customers.
We use
independent sales representatives or organizations, which often specialize in
specific products and areas and have specific knowledge of and contacts in
particular markets. As of November 30, 2009, we had representation agreements
with approximately 90 sales representative organizations. Sales representative
organizations, which are generally paid a 5% commission on net sales, are
generally responsible in their respective geographic markets for identifying
customers and soliciting customer orders. Pursuant to arrangements with our
independent sales representatives, they are permitted to represent other
electronics manufacturers, but are generally prohibited from carrying a line of
products competitive with our products. These arrangements can be terminated on
written notice by either party or if breached by either party. These
organizations normally employ between one and twelve sales representatives. The
individual sales representatives employed by the sales organizations generally
possess an expertise which enhances the scope of our marketing and sales
efforts. This permits us to avoid the significant costs associated with creating
a direct marketing network. We have had relationships with certain sales
organizations since 1988 and continue to engage new sales organizations as
needed. We believe that additional sales organizations and representatives are
available to us, if required.
We engage
independent sales representative organizations in various regions throughout the
world for marketing to OEM customers and distributors. We have
initiated a formal national distribution program to attract more distributors to
promote our products. We have a National Distribution Manager to develop and
manage this program. We expect
this market segment to contribute significantly to our sales growth over
time.
Many OEMs
require their suppliers to have a local presence and Surge's network of
independent sales representatives are responsive to these needs. In this regard,
in order to service the growing importance of the electronics community, Surge
has a quality support/engineering location and a sales location in California.
Surge also opened a contracted warehouse space in Phoenix, Arizona to stock
products for customers in the western region. Surge also has a marketing office
in Taiwan that provides marketing and customer service for the Asian market. The
cost and related expenses of this office have been minimal since Surge is
utilizing the same office space used by one of its supplier management groups.
Surge formed a Hong Kong corporation, Surge Components, Limited and hired a
regional sales manager to service the Hong Kong/Greater China region
customers.
Other
marketing efforts include generation and distribution of our product catalogs
and brochures and attendance at trade shows. We have produced an exhibit for
display at electronics trade shows throughout the year. Our products have been
exhibited at the electronic distribution show in Las Vegas, and we will continue
our commitment and focus on the distribution segment of the industry by our
visibility at the Electronic Distributor Trade Show.
Customers
Our
products are sold to distributors and OEMs in such diverse industries as the
automotive, computer, communications, cellular telephones, consumer electronics,
garage door openers, security equipment, audio equipment, telecomm products,
computer related products, power supply products, utility meters and household
appliances industries. We request our distributors to provide point of sales
reporting, which
enables us to gain knowledge of the breakdown of industries into which our
products are sold. For Fiscal 2009, one customer accounted for 14% of Surge's
consolidated net sales. Our discrete components are often sold to the same
clients as our capacitors. These OEM customers typically accept samples for
evaluation and, if approved, we work towards procuring the next orders for these
items.
Typically,
we do not maintain contracts with our customers and generally sell products
pursuant to customer purchase orders. Although our customer base has increased,
the loss of our largest customers as well as, to a lesser extent, the loss of
any other material customer, could have a materially adverse effect on our
operations during the short-term until we are able to generate replacement
business, although we may not be able to obtain such replacement business.
Because of our contracts and good working relationships with our distributors,
we offer the OEMs, when purchasing through distributors, extended payment terms,
just-in- time deliveries and one-stop shopping for many types of electronic
products.
Competition
We
conduct business in the highly competitive electronic components industry. We
expect this industry to remain competitive. We face intense competition in both
our selling efforts and purchasing efforts from the many companies that
manufacture or distribute electronic components. Our principal competitors in
the sale of capacitors include Nichicon, Panasonic, Illinois Capacitor, NIC,
AVX, Murata, Epcos, United Chemicon, Rubycon, Vishay and Kemet. Our principal
competitors in the sale of discrete components include Vishay, General
Semiconductor Division, General Instrument Corp., OnSemi, Inc., Microsemi Corp.,
Diodes, Inc. and Littlefuse, and Copper Bussman Division. Our principal
competition in the audible business include AVX, Murata, Panasonic, Projects
Unlimited, International Components Corp. and Star Micronics. Many of these
companies are well established with substantial expertise, and have much greater
assets and greater financial, marketing, personnel, and other resources than we
do. Many larger competing suppliers also carry product lines which we do not
carry. Generally, large semiconductor manufacturers and distributors do not
focus their direct selling efforts on small to medium sized OEMs and
distributors, which constitute many of our customers. As our customers become
larger, and as the market becomes more competitive, our competitors may find it
beneficial to focus direct selling efforts on those customers, which could
result in our facing increased competition, the loss of customers or pressure on
our profit margins. We are finding increased competition from manufacturers
located in Asia due to the increased globalization nature of the business. There
can be no assurance that we will be able to continue to compete effectively with
existing or potential competitors. Other factors that will affect our success in
these markets include our continued ability to attract additional experienced
marketing, sales and management talent, and our ability to expand our support,
training and field service capabilities.
Customer
Service
We have
three full-time customer service employees whose time is dedicated largely to
respond to customer inquiries such as price quote requests, delivery status of
new or existing purchase orders, changes of existing order dates, quantities,
dates, etc. We intend to increase our customer service capabilities, as
necessary.
Foreign
Trade Regulation
Most
products sold by Surge are manufactured in Asia, including such countries as
Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong, India, Japan and China. The purchase of goods
manufactured in foreign countries is subject to a number of risks, including
economic disruptions, transportation delays and interruptions, foreign exchange
rate fluctuations, impositions of tariffs and import and export controls, and
changes in governmental policies, any of which could have a material adverse
effect on our business and results of operations. Potential concerns may include
drastic devaluation of currencies, loss of supplies and increased competition
within the region.
From time
to time, protectionist pressures have influenced United States trade policy
concerning the imposition of significant duties or other trade restrictions upon
foreign products. We cannot predict whether additional United States customs
quotas, duties, taxes or other charges or restrictions will be
imposed upon the importation of foreign components in the future or what effect
such actions could have on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
Our
ability to remain competitive with respect to the pricing of imported components
could be adversely affected by increases in tariffs or duties, changes in trade
treaties, strikes in air or sea transportation, and possible future United
States legislation with respect to pricing and import quotas on products from
foreign countries. Our ability to remain competitive could also be affected by
other governmental actions related to, among other things, anti-dumping
legislation and international currency fluctuations. While we do not believe
that any of these factors adversely impact our business at the present time,
there can be no assurance that these factors will not materially adversely
affect us in the future. Any significant disruption in the delivery of
merchandise from our suppliers, substantially all of whom are foreign, could
have a materially adverse impact on our business and results of
operations.
Government
Regulation
Various
laws and regulations relating to safe working conditions, including the
Occupational Safety and Health Act, are applicable to our company. We believe we
are in substantial compliance with all material federal, state and local laws
and regulations regarding safe working conditions. We believe that the cost
of compliance with such governmental regulations is not material.
Patents,
Trademarks and Proprietary Information
Although
we believe that our products do not and will not infringe patents or trademarks,
or violate proprietary rights of others, it is possible that infringement of
existing or future patents, trademarks or proprietary rights of others may
occur. In the event our products infringe proprietary rights of others, we may
be required to modify the design of our products, change the name of our
products and/or obtain a license. There can be no assurance that we will be able
to do any of these things in a timely manner, upon acceptable terms and
conditions or at all. Our failure to do any of the foregoing could have a
material adverse effect upon our operations. In addition, there can be no
assurance that we will have the financial or other resources necessary to
enforce or defend a patent infringement or proprietary rights violation action.
Moreover, if our products infringe patents, trademarks or proprietary rights of
others, we could, under certain circumstances, become liable for damages, which
also could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Backlog
As of
November 30, 2009, our backlog was approximately $ 4,784,437.72,
as compared with $ 3,908,748.80
at November 30, 2008. Substantially all backlog is expected to be shipped by us
within 90 to 180 days. Year to year comparisons of backlog are not necessarily
indicative of future operating results.
Employees
As of May
15, 2010, Surge and Challenge employed 24 persons, two of whom are employed in
executive capacities, seven are engaged in sales, two in engineering, three
in purchasing, two in administrative capacities, three in customer service, two
in accounting and three in warehousing. None of our employees are covered
by a collective bargaining agreement, and we consider our relationship with our
employees to be good.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
An
investment in the Company’s Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. An
investor should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other
information contained in this registration statement. If any of the following
risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations
could be materially adversely affected, the value of our Common Stock could
decline, and an investor may lose all or part of his or her
investment.
Risks
Related to our Business
We
do not have written long-term supply contracts with manufacturers and we depend
on a limited number of suppliers.
We do not
have any written long-term supply, distribution or franchise agreements with any
of its manufacturers. We act as the exclusive sales agent in North America for
many of our manufacturers, pursuant to oral agreements. While we believe that we
have established close working relationships with our principal manufacturers,
our success depends, in large part, on maintaining these relationships and
developing new supplier relationships for our existing and future product lines.
Because of the lack of long- term contracts, we may not be able to maintain
these relationships. While we believe that there are alternative semiconductor
and capacitor manufacturers whose replacement products may be acceptable to our
customers, the loss of, or a significant disruption in the relationship with,
one or more of our major suppliers would most likely have a material adverse
effect on our business and results of operations.
We
need to maintain large inventories in order to succeed; price fluctuations could
harm us.
In order
to adequately service our customers, we believe that it is necessary to maintain
a large inventory of our products. Accordingly, we attempt to maintain a
one-to-two month inventory of those products we offer which are in high demand.
As a result of our strategic inventory purchasing policies, under which we order
in to obtain preferential pricing, waive the rights to manufacturers' inventory
protection agreements (including price protection and inventory return rights),
we bear the risk of increases in the prices charged by our manufacturers and
decreases in the prices of products held in our inventory or covered by purchase
commitments. If prices of components which we hold in inventory decline or if
new technology is developed that displaces products which we sell, our business
could be materially adversely affected.
We
depend on certain customers.
For
Fiscal 2009 approximately14% of our net sales were derived from sales to
one customer. Although our customer base has increased, the loss of our
largest customers as well as, to a lesser extent, the loss of any other
principal customer, would be expected to have a materially adverse effect on our
operations during the short-term until we are able to generate replacement
business, although we may not be able to obtain such replacement
business.
We
may not be able to compete against large competitors who have better
resources.
We face
intense competition, in both our selling efforts and purchasing efforts, from
the many companies that manufacture or distribute electronic components and
semiconductors. Our principal competitors in the sale of capacitors include
Nichicon, Panasonic, Illinois Capacitor, NIC, AVX, Murata, Epcos, United
Chemicon, Rubycon, Vishay and Kemet, General Semiconductor Division, General
Instrument Corp., OnSemi, Inc., Microsemi Corp., Diodes, Inc. and Littlefuse,
and Copper Bussman Division. Many of these companies are well established with
substantial expertise, and have much greater assets and greater financial,
marketing, personnel, and other resources than we do. Many larger competing
suppliers also carry product lines which we do not carry. Generally, large
semiconductor manufacturers and distributors do not focus their direct selling
efforts on small to medium sized OEMs and distributors, which constitute most of
our customers. As our customers become larger, however, our competitors may find
it beneficial to focus direct selling efforts on those customers, which could
result in our facing increased competition, the loss of customers or pressure on
our profit margins. There can be no assurance that we will be able to continue
to compete effectively with existing or potential competitors.
We
will suffer if there is a shortage of components.
The
components business has, from time to time, experienced periods of extreme
shortages in product supply, generally as the result of demand exceeding
available supply. When these shortages occur, suppliers tend to either increase
prices or reduce the number of units sold to customers. We believe that because
of our large inventory and our relationships with our manufacturers, we have not
been adversely affected by shortages in certain discrete semiconductor
components. However, in the future shortages may have an adverse effect upon our
business.
We
will have to manage growth efficiently in order to succeed.
We
recently expanded our operations through the opening of additional
sales/stocking offices, and hiring additional staff. The expansion of our
headquarters office and warehouse facility and increased our inventories. We
believe that we have sufficient funds to carry out our plans for near term
expansion. In order for us to continue to grow, however, we will depend on,
among other things, the continued growth of the electronics and semiconductor
industries, our ability to withstand intense price competition, our ability to
obtain new clients, retain sales and other personnel and attract additional
staff in order to expand our marketing capabilities, secure adequate sources of
products which are then in demand on commercially reasonable terms, successfully
manage growth (including monitoring an expanded level of operations and
controlling costs) and the availability of adequate financing.
Adverse
effects of trade regulation and foreign economic conditions.
Approximately
90% of the total goods which we purchased in 2009 were manufactured in foreign
countries, with the majority purchased from Taiwan-based companies
manufacturing in China (53%), China (14%), South Korea (3%), Hong Kong
(17%) and Japan (3%). These purchases subject us to a number of risks, including
economic disruptions, transportation delays and interruptions, foreign exchange
rate fluctuations, imposition of tariffs and import and export controls and
changes in governmental policies, any of which could have a materially adverse
effect on our business and results of operations. In addition, the current
economic conditions in Southeast Asia may severely impact our business.
Potential concerns may include drastic devaluation of currencies, loss of
supplies and increased competition within the region.
The
ability to remain competitive with respect to the pricing of imported components
could be adversely affected by increases in tariffs or duties, changes in trade
treaties, strikes in air or sea transportation, and possible future United
States legislation with respect to pricing and import quotas on products from
foreign countries. For example, it is possible that political or economic
developments in China, or with respect to the United States' relationship with
China, could have an adverse effect on our business. Our ability to remain
competitive could also be affected by other governmental actions related to,
among other things, anti-dumping legislation and international currency
fluctuations. While we do not believe that any of these factors have adversely
impacted our business in the past, there can be no assurance that these factors
will not materially adversely affect us in the future.
Electronics
industry cyclicality may adversely affect our operations.
The
electronics industry has been affected historically by general economic
downturns, which have had an adverse economic effect upon manufacturers and
end-users of capacitors and semiconductors. In addition, the life-cycle of
existing electronic products and the timing of new product developments and
introductions can affect demand for semiconductor components. Any downturns in
the electronics distribution industry could adversely affect our business and
results of operations.
Absence
of patents, trademarks and proprietary information.
We have
no patents, trademarks or copyrights registered in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office or in any state. We rely on the know-how, experience and
capabilities of our management personnel. Therefore, without trademark and
copyright protection, we have no protection from other parties attempting to
offer similar services. Although we believe that our products do not and
will not infringe patents or trademarks, or violate proprietary rights of
others, it is possible that infringement of existing or future patents,
trademarks or proprietary rights of others may occur. In the event our products
infringe proprietary rights of others, we may be required to modify the design
of our products, change the name of our products and/or obtain a license. There
can be no assurance that we will be able to do any of these things in a timely
manner, upon acceptable terms and conditions or at all. Our failure to do any of
the foregoing could have a material adverse effect upon our operations. In
addition, there can be no assurance that we will have the financial or other
resources necessary to enforce or defend a patent infringement or proprietary
rights violation action. Moreover, if our products infringe patents, trademarks
or proprietary rights of others, we could, under certain circumstances, become
liable for damages, which also could have a material adverse effect on our
business.
Risks
Related to our Common Stock
Our
Common Stock is quoted on the Pink Sheets, which may limit the liquidity and
price of our Common Stock more than if our Common Stock were quoted or listed on
the Nasdaq Stock Market or a national exchange.
Our
securities are currently quoted on the Pink Sheets, a Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority-sponsored and operated inter-dealer automated quotation
system for equity securities not included in the Nasdaq Stock Market. Quotation
of our securities on the Pink Sheets may limit the liquidity and price of our
securities more than if our securities were quoted or listed on The Nasdaq Stock
Market or a national exchange. Some investors may perceive our securities to be
less attractive because they are traded in the over-the-counter market. In
addition, as a Pink Sheets listed company, we do not attract the extensive
analyst coverage that accompanies companies listed on other exchanges. Further,
institutional and other investors may have investment guidelines that restrict
or prohibit investing in securities traded on the Pink Sheets. These factors may
have an adverse impact on the trading and price of our Common
Stock.
The
market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to the
following factors, most of which are beyond our control:
|
•
|
variations
in our quarterly operating results;
|
|
•
|
changes
in general economic conditions and in the child health care product
industry;
|
|
•
|
changes
in market valuations of similar
companies;
|
|
•
|
announcements
by us or our competitors of significant new contracts, acquisitions,
strategic partnerships or joint ventures, or capital
commitments;
|
|
•
|
loss
of a major supplier or customer;
and
|
|
•
|
the
addition or loss of key managerial and collaborative
personnel.
|
Any such
fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock,
regardless of our actual operating performance. As a result, stockholders may be
unable to sell their shares, or may be forced to sell them at a
loss.
The
application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely affect the market price
of our common shares and increase an investor’s transaction costs to sell those
shares.
The
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted rule 3a51-1 which
establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us,
as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or
with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt,
Rule 15g-9 requires:
|
•
|
that
a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny
stocks; and
|
|
•
|
the
broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the
transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to
be purchased.
|
In order
to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or
dealer must:
|
•
|
obtain
financial information and investment experience objectives of the person;
and
|
|
•
|
make
a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are
suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and
experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of
transactions in penny stocks.
|
The
broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a
disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market,
which, in highlight form:
|
•
|
sets
forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability
determination; and
|
|
•
|
that
the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the
investor prior to the transaction.
|
Generally,
brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the
“penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of
our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our
stock.
As
an issuer of “penny stock,” the protection provided by the federal securities
laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us.
Although
federal securities laws provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements
made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws,
this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, the
Company will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of
any legal action based upon a claim that the material provided by the Company
contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material
respect because of the Company’s failure to include any statements necessary to
make the statements not misleading. Such an action could hurt our financial
condition.
The
market price for our common shares is particularly volatile given our status as
a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float which
could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. Investors may be
unable to sell their common shares at or above your purchase price, which may
result in substantial losses to investors.
The
market for our common shares is characterized by significant price volatility
when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will
continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future.
The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First,
as noted above, our common shares are sporadically and thinly traded. As a
consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small
quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the
price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for
example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common
shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a
seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on
its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our
limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future
market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced
risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of
their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more
inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater
discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of
these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our
common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any
predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common
shares will be at any time, including as to whether our common shares will
sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of
shares or the availability of common shares for sale at any time will have on
the prevailing market price.
We
will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company, which could
affect our profitability and operating results.
As a
result of voluntarily registering our stock on this Form 10, we will become
obligated to file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC pursuant to
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In addition, the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) and the new rules subsequently
implemented by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board have
imposed various new requirements on public companies, including requiring
changes in corporate governance practices. We expect these rules and regulations
to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities
of our more time-consuming and costly. We expect to spend between $125,000 and
$150,000 in legal and accounting expenses annually to comply with our reporting
obligations and Sarbanes-Oxley. These costs could affect profitability and our
results of operations.
We
have not paid dividends on our common stock in the past and do not expect to pay
dividends for the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be
limited to the value of our common stock.
No cash
dividends have been paid on the Company’s common stock. We expect that any
income received from operations will be devoted to our future operations and
growth. The Company does not expect to pay cash dividends on its common stock in
the near future. Payment of dividends would depend upon our profitability at the
time, cash available for those dividends, and other factors as the Company’s
board of directors may consider relevant. If the Company does not pay dividends,
the Company’s common stock may be less valuable because a return on an
investor’s investment will only occur if the Company’s stock price
appreciates.

Overview
We were
incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on November 24, 1981.
Surge, a supplier of electronic products and components, completed an initial
public offering of its securities in 1984 and a second offering of its
securities in August 1996. Challenge, a New York corporation formed in 1988 and
a wholly-owned subsidiary of Surge, is a broker and distributor of electronic
components.
In May
2002, Surge and an officer of Surge became sole owners of Surge Components,
Limited ("Surge Limited"), a Hong Kong corporation. Under current Hong Kong law,
Surge Limited is required to have at least two shareholders. Surge owns 999
shares of the outstanding common stock and an officer of Surge owns one share of
the outstanding common stock. The officer of Surge has assigned his rights
regarding his one share to Surge. Surge Limited started doing business in July
2002. The Company has opened this office and hired direct sales people in order
to effectively handle the transfer business from United States customers
purchasing and manufacturing in Asia after they do the design in America. This
office has strengthened its global capabilities and service to its customer
base. Surge's and Challenge's principal executive offices are located at 95 East
Jefryn Boulevard, Deer Park, New York 11729; and the telephone number is (631)
595-1818.
We are a
supplier of electronic products and components. These products include
capacitors, which are electrical energy storage devices, and discrete
components, such as semiconductor rectifiers, transistors and diodes, which are
single function low power semiconductor products that are packaged alone as
compared to integrated circuits such as microprocessors. Our products are
typically utilized in the electronic circuitry of diverse products, including,
but not limited to, automobiles, cellular telephones, computers, consumer
electronics, garage door openers, household appliances, power supplies and
security equipment. Our products are sold to both original equipment
manufacturers, commonly referred to as OEMs, who incorporate them into their
products, and to distributors of our product lines, who resell these products
within their customer base. Our products are manufactured
predominantly in Asia by approximately sixteen independent manufacturers. We do
not have any binding long-term supply, distribution or franchise agreements with
our manufacturers. We act as the exclusive sales agent utilizing independent
sales representative organizations in North America to sell and market the
products for many of such manufacturers pursuant to oral agreements. In
addition, in December 2000, we launched a joint-venture limited liability
company with Lelon Electronics Corporation ("Lelon"), a Taiwan corporation,
which has since ceased operating in late 2008. Challenge engages in
the electronic components and products broker distribution business. Challenge
purchases name brand electronic components and products, typically from domestic
manufacturers and authorized distributors, to fill specific customer orders.
Challenge purchases these components and products in the open market on the best
available terms and generally keeps inventories of these products. Challenge's
revenues are principally derived from the sale of these products. In 1999,
Challenge began a division to sell audible components. This division has shown
steady growth every year. We have recently added additional products that
include battery snaps and coin cell holders, which we hope will add up to
significant sales going forward. We are continuing to add distributors and
representatives every month, which will allow Challenge to sell in territories
in which it is currently weak. Challenge`s other division is the broker division
which is slowly improving. There seems to be more shortages in the electronics
market, and lead times for components are stretching out, which may enable us to
secure more orders going forward.
In order
for us to grow, we will depend on, among other things, the continued growth of
the electronics and semiconductor industries, our ability to withstand intense
price competition, our ability to obtain new clients,
our ability to retain sales and other personnel in order to expand our marketing
capabilities, our ability to secure adequate sources of products, which are in
demand on commercially reasonable terms, our success in managing growth,
including monitoring an expanded level of operations and controlling costs, and
the availability of adequate financing.
Critical
Accounting Policies
[1] Principles of
Consolidation:
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Surge, Challenge, and
Surge Limited (collectively the “Company”). All material intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
[2] Accounts
Receivable:
Trade
accounts receivable are recorded at the net invoice value and are not interest
bearing. The Company considers receivables past due based on the contractual
payment terms. The Company reviews its exposure to amounts receivable and
reserves specific amounts if collectability is no longer reasonably assured. The
Company also reserves a percentage of its trade receivable balance based on
collection history and current economic trends that might impact the level of
future credit losses. The Company re-evaluates such reserves on a regular basis
and adjusts its reserves as needed. Based on the Company’s operating history and
customer base, bad debts to date have not been material.
[3] Revenue
Recognition:
Revenue
is recognized when product is shipped from the Company's
warehouse. For direct shipments, revenue is recognized when product
is shipped from the Company’s supplier.
The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains
reserves for potential credit losses.
[4] Inventories:
Inventories,
which consist solely of products held for resale, are stated at the lower of
cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Products are included in
inventory when shipped from the supplier. Inventory in transit
principally from foreign suppliers at November 30, 2009 approximated $827,953.
The Company, at November 30, 2009, has a reserve against slow moving and
obsolete inventory of $818,640. From time to time the Company’s products are
subject to legislation from various authorities on environmental matters.
Legislation was enacted, effective July 2006, eliminating lead in certain of the
Company’s products. The Company has provided a reserve for these products which
is reflected as slow moving. The Company is able to currently obtain products
which comply with this law.
[5] Depreciation and
Amortization:
Fixed
assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is generally on a straight
line method and amortization of leasehold improvements is provided for on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various assets as
follows:
Furniture,
fixtures and equipment
|
5 -
7 years
|
Computer
equipment
|
5
years
|
Leasehold
Improvements
|
Estimated
useful
|
|
life
or lease
|
|
term,
whichever is
|
|
shorter
|
Maintenance
and repairs are expensed as incurred while renewals and betterments are
capitalized.
[6 Use of
Estimates:
The
preparation of 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
[7] Earnings Per
Share:
Basic
earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. The difference between reported basic and diluted
weighted-average common shares results from the assumption that all dilutive
stock options and convertible preferred stock exercised into common stock. Total
potentially dilutive shares excluded from diluted weighted shares outstanding at
November 30, 2009 and 2008 totaled 380,000 and 710,000,
respectively.
Results
of Operations
Comparison of three months
ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009
Consolidated
net sales for the three months ended February 28, 2010 increased by $1,903,125,
or 77%, to $4,384,431 as compared to net sales of $2,481,306 for the three
months ended February 28, 2009. We attribute the increase to
additional business with existing customers.
Our gross
profit for the three months ended February 28, 2010 increased by $571,970, or
78%, as compared the three months ended February 28, 2009. Gross margin as a
percentage of net sales increased to 29.7% the three months ended February 28,
2010 compared to 29.4% for the three months ended February 28,2009.
We attribute the increase to new more profitable business and cutting
costs.
Selling
and shipping expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2010 was $361,526,
an increase of $111,230, or 44.4%, as compared to $250,296 for the three months
ended February 28, 2009. We attribute the increase to sales
commissions.
General
and administrative expenses for the three months ended February 28, 2010 was
$529,129, a decrease of $6,656, or 1%, as compared to $535,785 for the three
months ended February 28, 2009.
Investment
income for the three months ended February 28, 2010 was $1,261, compared to
$2,867 for the three months ended February 28, 2009. We attribute the decrease
of $1,606, or 56%, to lower interest rates in 2010.
Income
taxes for the three months ended February 28, 2010 were $9,786, compared to
$3,872 for the three months ended February 28, 2009.
As a
result of the foregoing, net income for the three months ended February 28, 2010
was $336,002, compared to net loss of $122,272 for the three months ended
February 28, 2009.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Comparison of three months
ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2009
As of
February 28, 2010 we had cash of $1,230,702 and working capital of $2,991,175.
We believe that our
working capital levels and available financing are adequate to meet our
operating requirements during the next twelve months.
During
the three months ended February 28, 2010, we had net cash flow from operating
activities of $134,243, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of
$342,658 for the three months ended February 28,2009. The increase in cash flow
from in operating activities resulted from increase in the 2010 profit, increase
in accounts receivable and inventory offset by increase in accounts
payable.
We had
net cash used in investing activities of $(3,284) for the three months ended
February 28, 2010, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $0
for the three months ended February 28, 2009. This increase was the result of
the Company purchasing additional computer hardware in 2010.
We had
net cash from financing activities of $(40,595) for the three months ended
February 28, 2010, as compared to net cash from financing activities of
$(231,090) for the three months ended February 28, 2009. The decrease was the
result of decreased borrowing in 2010 with lender.
As a
result of the foregoing, the Company had a net increase in cash of $90,364
during the three months ended February 28, 2010, as compared to a net increase
in cash of $111,568 for the three months ended February 28, 2009.

compared to net sales of $14,241,436 for Fiscal 2002. We attribute the decrease
to the termination of unprofitable business.
Our gross
profit for Fiscal 2009 decreased by $418,930, or 10.2%, as compared to Fiscal

Fiscal 2009, we had net cash flow from operating activities of $364,294, as
compared to net cash used in operating activities of $404,330 in Fiscal 2008.
The increase in cash flow from in operating activities resulted from increase in
the 2009 profit, increase in accounts receivable and inventory offset by
increase in accounts payable.
We had
net cash used in investing activities of $158,512 for Fiscal 2009, as compared
to net cash used in investing activities of $44,067 in Fiscal 2008. This
increase was the result of the Company upgrading their accounting software in
2009.
We had
net cash from financing activities of $29,393 for Fiscal 2009, as compared to
net cash from financing activities of $496,966 for Fiscal 2008. The decrease was
the result of increased borrowing in 2008 with lender.
As a
result of the foregoing, the Company had a net increase in cash of $235,175
during Fiscal 2009, as compared to a net increase in cash of $22,569 for Fiscal
2008.
Inflation
In the
past two fiscal years, inflation has not had a significant impact on our
business. However, any significant increase in inflation and interest rates
could have a significant effect on the economy in general and, thereby, could
affect our future operating results. In addition, the interest on the Company's
line of credit is based upon the prime rate. Any significant increase in the
prime rate could significantly impact our future operating results.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any off balance sheet arrangements.

Board
Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Although
we have not adopted a formal policy on whether the Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer positions should be separate or combined, we have traditionally
determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders
to combine these roles. Mr. Levy has served as our Chairman since
November 1981. Due to the small size and early stage of the Company, we believe
it is currently most effective to have the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
positions combined.
Our Audit
Committee is primarily responsible for overseeing our risk management processes
on behalf of our board of directors. The Audit Committee receives and
reviews periodic reports from management, auditors, legal counsel, and others,
as considered appropriate regarding our company’s assessment of risks. In
addition, the Audit Committee reports regularly to the full Board of Directors,
which also considers our risk profile. The Audit Committee and the full Board of
Directors focus on the most significant risks facing our company and our
company’s general risk management strategy, and also ensure that risks
undertaken by our Company are consistent with the Board’s appetite for risk.
While the Board oversees our company’s risk management, management is
responsible for day-to-day risk management processes. We believe this division
of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks
facing our company and that our Board leadership structure supports this
approach.

11. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.
This
registration statement relates to our Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share.
We are authorized to issue 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of
which 8,929,125 shares are issued and outstanding, and 1,000,000 shares of blank
check preferred stock of which 260,000 shares have been designated as Non-Voting
Redeemable Convertible Series A Preferred Stock, of which no shares are issued
and outstanding, 200,000 shares have been designated Voting
Redeemable Convertible Series B Preferred Stock, of which 0 shares are issued
and outstanding, and 100,000 shares have been designated Non-Voting Redeemable
Convertible Series C Preferred Stock, of which 32,700 shares are issued and
outstanding.
Holders
of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters
submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have cumulative voting rights.
Accordingly, holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to
vote in any election of directors may elect all of the directors standing for
election. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive proportionately any
dividends as may be declared by our board of directors, subject to any
preferential dividend rights of outstanding preferred stock. Our outstanding
shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable. Holders of shares of
Common Stock have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights, and
there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Common

Item 12. Indemnification of Directors
and Officers.
Our
Certificate of Incorporation provides that to the fullest extent permitted by
Article 7 of the New York Business Corporation Law, we shall indemnify all
persons whom we have the power to indemnify under Article 7 from and against any
and all of the expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered
by Article 7 and this indemnification is not exclusive of any other rights to
which any person may be entitled under our By-laws or otherwise, as permitted by
the Article as to action in any capacity in which he served at the request of
the Corporation. The effect of this provision of our Certificate of
Incorporation is to eliminate our rights and our stock holders' rights (through
stock holders' derivative suits on behalf of our company) to recover damages
against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a
director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent behavior)
except under certain situations defined by statue. We believe that the
indemnification provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation are necessary to
attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.
Our
by-laws provides that to the extent legally permissible, we shall indemnify our
directors and officers who are a party or threatened to be made a party to any
action or proceeding (other than one by or in our right to procure a judgment in
our favor) whether civil or criminal against judgments, fines, amounts paid in
settlements and reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees actually and
necessarily incurred as a result of such action or other proceeding if such
director or officer acted in good faith for a purpose which he reasonably
believed to be in the best in our best interest, and in criminal actions or
proceedings, in addition had no reason to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.
We shall
to the extent legally permissible indemnify officers and directors who are
threatened to be a party to an action or proceeding by or in the our right to
procure a judgment in our favor by reason of the fact that he was an officer or
director or ours or at our request was serving as an officer or director of any
other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise, against amounts paid in settlements and reasonable expenses,
including attorneys’ fees if such director or officer acted in good faith for a
purpose which he reasonably believed to be in our best interest, except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of (1) a threatened action or pending
action which is settled or otherwise disposed of (2) any claim, issue or matter
to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to us unless and only
to the extent that the court in which the action was brought or if no action was
brought any court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that in
view of all of the circumstances of the case the person is entitled to indemnify
for such portion of the settlement amount and expenses as the court deems
proper.
Expenses
incurred in defending a civil or criminal action or proceeding may be paid by us
in advance of the final disposition of such action or proceeding upon receipt of
an undertaking of such officer or director to repay such amount, as and to the
extent, required by Section 725 of the New York Business Corporation
Law.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may
be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
Item
13. Financial Statements
INDEPENDENT
AUDITORS' REPORT
To The
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Surge
Components, Inc.
We have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Surge Components, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of November 30, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated
statements of income, changes in shareholders' equity and cash flows for the
years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on these financial statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over
financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over
financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.
We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Surge Components, Inc.
and subsidiaries as of November 30, 2009 and 2008 and the consolidated results
of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America.

Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE A – ORGANIZATION,
DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY'S BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Surge
Components, Inc. (“Surge”) was incorporated in the State of New York and
commenced operations on November 24, 1981 as an importer of electronic products,
primarily capacitors and rectifiers, to customers located principally throughout
the United States. On June 24, 1988, Surge formed Challenge/Surge Inc.,
(“Challenge”) a wholly-owned subsidiary to engage in the distribution of
electronic component products from established brand manufacturers to customers
located principally throughout the United States.
In May
2002, Surge and an officer of Surge became sole owners of Surge Components,
Limited (“Surge Limited”), a Hong Kong corporation. Under current Hong Kong law,
Surge Limited is required to have at least two shareholders. Surge owns 999
shares of the outstanding common stock and the officer of Surge owns 1 share of
the outstanding common stock. The officer of Surge has assigned his rights
regarding his 1 share to Surge. Surge Limited started doing business in July
2002. Surge Limited operations have been consolidated with the
Company.
NOTE B – SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
[1] Principles of
Consolidation:
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Surge, Challenge, and
Surge Limited (collectively the “Company”). All material intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The
accompanying interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared,
without audit, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q for interim
financial reporting pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
The
results and trends on these interim consolidated financial statements for the
three months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009 may not be representative of those
for the full fiscal year or any future periods.

COMPONENTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(2) Accounts
Receivable:
Trade
accounts receivable are recorded at the net invoice value and are not interest
bearing. The Company considers receivables past due based on the contractual
payment terms. The Company reviews its exposure to amounts receivable and
reserves specific amounts if collectability is no longer reasonably assured. The
Company also reserves a percentage of its trade receivable balance based on
collection history and current economic trends that might impact the level of
future credit losses. The Company re-evaluates such reserves on a regular basis
and adjusts its reserves as needed. Based on the Company’s operating history and
customer base, bad debts to date have not been material.
[3] Revenue
Recognition:
Revenue
is recognized when product is shipped from the Company's warehouse. For
direct shipments, revenue is recognized when product is shipped from the
Company’s supplier.
The
Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains
reserves for potential credit losses.
[4]
Inventories:
Inventories,
which consist solely of products held for resale, are stated at the lower of
cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Products are included in
inventory when shipped from the supplier. Inventory in transit principally
from foreign suppliers at November 30, 2009 approximated $827,953. The Company,
at November 30, 2009, has a reserve against slow moving and obsolete inventory
of $818,640. From time to time the Company’s products are subject to legislation
from various authorities on environmental matters. Legislation was enacted,
effective July 2006, eliminating lead in certain of the Company’s products. The
Company has provided a reserve for these products which is reflected as slow
moving. The Company is able to currently obtain products which comply with this
law.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
[5] Depreciation and
Amortization:
Fixed
assets are recorded at cost. Depreciation is generally on a straight line
method and amortization of leasehold improvements is provided for on the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various assets as
follows:
Furniture,
fixtures and equipment
|
|
5 -
7 years
|
Computer
equipment
|
|
5
years
|
Leasehold
Improvements
|
|
Estimated
useful life or lease term, whichever is
shorter
|
Maintenance
and repairs are expensed as incurred while renewals and betterments are
capitalized.
[6]
Concentration of
Credit Risk:
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consist principally of accounts receivable. The Company maintains
substantially all of its cash balances in two financial institutions. The
balances are each insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to
$250,000 through December 31, 2013. At February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009,
the Company's uninsured cash balances totaled approximately $938,846 and
$823,322, respectively.
[7] Income
Taxes:
The
Company's deferred income taxes arise primarily from the differences in the
recording of net operating losses, allowances for bad debts, inventory reserves
and depreciation expense for financial reporting and income tax purposes.
A valuation allowance is provided when the likelihood of realization of deferred
tax assets is not assured.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
[8] Cash
Equivalents:
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
[9] Use of
Estimates:
The
preparation of 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 and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
(10) Marketing and promotional
costs:
Marketing
and promotional costs are expensed as incurred and have not been material to
date.
[11]
Fair Value of
Financial Instruments:
Cash
balances and the carrying amount of the accrued expenses approximate their fair
value based on the nature of those items. Estimated fair values of financial
instruments are determined using available market information. In
evaluating the fair value information, considerable judgment is required to
interpret the market data used to develop the estimates. The use of
different market assumptions and/or different valuation value amounts.
Accordingly, the estimates of fair value presented herein may not be indicative
of the amounts that could be realized in a current market
exchange.

Shipping Costs
The
Company classifies shipping costs as a component of selling expenses.
Shipping costs totaled $4,176 and $3,763 for the three months ended February 28,
2010 and 2009, respectively. Shipping costs totaled $6,902 and $6,206 for the
years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
(13)
Earnings Per
Share
Basic
earnings per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net income
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. The difference between reported basic and diluted
weighted-average common shares results from the assumption that all dilutive
stock options and convertible preferred stock exercised into common stock. Total potentially dilutive
shares excluded from diluted weighted shares outstanding at February 28, 2010
and 2009 and November 30, 2009 and 2008 totaled 53,000, 694,000, 380,000 and
710,000, respectively.
(14)
Recent Accounting
Standards:
In
June 2009, the FASB issued guidance under ASC Topic 105 Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles as it relates to the FASB’s accounting standards
codification. This standard replaces previously established guidance, and
establishes only two levels of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(“GAAP”), authoritative and non-authoritative. The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification (the “Codification”) will become the source of authoritative,
nongovernmental GAAP, except for rules and interpretive releases of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which are sources of authoritative
GAAP for SEC registrants. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting
literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This
standard is effective for financial statements for interim or annual reporting
periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company began to use the new
guidelines and numbering system prescribed by the Codification when referring to
GAAP in the third quarter of 2009. As the Codification was not intended to
change or alter existing GAAP, it will not have any impact on the Company’s
consolidated financial statements.

14) Recent Accounting
Standards
(continued):
In
October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605)
– Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.” ASU No. 2009-13 eliminates the
residual method of allocation and requires that arrangement consideration be
allocated at the inception of the arrangement to all deliverables using the
relative selling price method and expands the disclosures related to multiple
deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU No. 2009-13 is effective prospectively for
revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years
beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with earlier adoption permitted. The
adoption of ASU No. 2009-13 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company’s results of operations or financial position.
In September 2009, the FASB also
ratified authoritative accounting guidance requiring the sales of all tangible
products containing both software and non-software components that function
together to deliver the product’s essential functionality to be excluded from
the scope of the software revenue guidance. The Company adopted the guidance on
a prospective basis during the three months ended September 27, 2009
effective for all periods in 2009. Prior to the adoption of this guidance, the
Company assessed all software items included in the Company’s product offerings
to be incidental to the product itself and, therefore, excluded all sales from
the scope of the related software revenue guidance. As a result, the adoption of
this guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

NOTE D – RETIREMENT
PLAN
In June
1997, the Company adopted a qualified 401(k) plan for all full-time employees
who are twenty-one years of age and have completed twelve months of
service. The Plan allows total employee contributions of up to
fifteen percent (15%) of the eligible employee’s salary through salary
reduction. The Company makes a matching contribution of twenty percent (20%) of
each employee’s contribution for each dollar of employee deferral up to five
percent (5%) of the employee’s salary. Net assets for the plan, as
estimated by Union Central, Inc., which maintains the plan’s records, were
approximately $648,000 at November 30, 2009. Pension expense for the three
months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009 was $2,357 and $690, respectively.
Pension expense for the years ended November 30, 2009 and 2008 was $7,266 and
$7,046, respectively.

NOTE E – SHAREHOLDERS’
EQUITY
[1] Preferred
Stock:
In
February 1996, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to authorize
the issuance of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more
series.
In
January 2000, the Company authorized 260,000 shares of preferred stock as
Non-Voting Redeemable Convertible Series A Preferred Stock. None of the Series A
preferred stock is outstanding as of November 30, 2006.
In
November 2000, the Company authorized 200,000 shares of preferred stock as
Voting Redeemable Convertible Series B
Preferred
Stock (“Series B Preferred”). No shares of Series B Preferred Stock are
currently issued or outstanding.
In
November 2000, the Company authorized 100,000 shares of preferred stock as
Non-Voting Redeemable Convertible Series C Preferred Stock (“Series C
Preferred”) in payment of financial consulting services. Each share of Series C
Preferred is automatically convertible into 10 shares of the Company’s Common
Stock upon shareholder approval. If the Series C Preferred was not
converted into common stock on or before April 15, 2001, these shares are
entitled to cumulative dividends at the rate of $.50 per share per annum
commencing April 15, 2001 payable on June 30 and December 31 of each
year. In November 2000, 70,000 shares of the Series C Preferred were
issued in payment of financial consulting services to its investment banker and
a shareholder of the Company. In April 2001, 8,000 shares of the
Series C Preferred were repurchased and cancelled. Dividends
aggregating $158,125 have not been paid for the semiannual periods ended
December 31, 2001 through the semiannual payment due June 30,
2009. The Company has accrued these dividends. The
December 31, 2009 dividend of $8,175 has not been declared or paid.
In April
2002, in connection with a Mutual Release, Settlement, Standstill and
Non-Disparagement Agreement and among other provisions, certain investors
transferred back to the
Company 252,000 shares of common stock, 19,300 shares of Series C preferred
stock, and certain warrants, in exchange for $225,000. These repurchased shares
were cancelled.

In
January 1996, the Company adopted, and in February 1996 the shareholders
ratified, the 1995 Employee Stock Option Plan (“Option Plan”). The
plan provides for the grant of options to qualified employees of the Company,
independent contractors, consultants and other individuals to purchase an
aggregate of 350,000 common shares. In March 1998, the Option Plan
was amended to increase the number of aggregate Common Shares available under

In

1,000,000 Common Shares at a price between $.04 and $.045. The Company has not
repurchased any shares to date pursuant to such authority.
NOTE F – INCOME
TAXES
Deferred
income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the
carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and
the amounts used for income tax purposes using the enacted tax rates in effect
in the years in which the differences are expected to
reverse. Because of the questionable ability of the Company to
utilize these deferred tax assets, the Company has established a 100% valuation
allowance for these assets.

NOTE G– RENTAL
COMMITMENTS
The
Company leases its office and warehouse space through 2010 from a corporation
that is controlled by officers/shareholders of the Company (“Related
Company”). Annual minimum rental payments to the Related Company
approximated $212,000 for the Fiscal 2009, and increase at the rate of three per
cent per annum throughout the lease term.
Pursuant
to the lease, rent expense charged to operations differs from rent paid because
of scheduled rent increases. Accordingly, the Company has recorded
deferred rent. Rent expense is calculated by allocating to rental
payments, including those attributable to scheduled rent increases, on a
straight line basis, over the lease term.
The
future minimum rental commitments at November 30, 2009:

Net
rental expense for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and 2009, were
$48,812 and $51,369 respectively, of which $52,894 was paid to the Related
Company. Net rental expense for Fiscal 2009 and 2008, were $201,972 and $210,838
respectively, of which $211,576 was paid to the Related Company. Commencing in
May 2006, the Company had sublet certain of its space it occupies. The sublease
whose term is for five years, includes a base rent, which increases over the
term, and provides for additional rent for a portion of the real estate taxes
and certain operating expenses.

NOTE H – EMPLOYMENT AND
OTHER AGREEMENTS
The
Company has employment agreements, with terms through July 30, 2009 (renewable
on each July 30th for an
additional one year period) with two officers/stockholders of the Company, which
provides each with a base salary of $225,000, subject to certain increases as
defined, per annum, plus fringe benefits and bonuses. The
Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors determines the
bonuses. Bonuses issued to the two officers totaled $54,000 for the
year ended November 30, 2008. The agreement also contains provisions prohibiting
the officers from engaging in activities, which are competitive with those of
the Company during employment and for one year following
termination. The agreements further provide that in the event of a
change of control, as defined, or a change in ownership of at least 25% of the
issued and outstanding stock of the Company, and such issuance was not approved
by either officer, or if they are not elected to the Board of Directors of the
Company and/or are not elected as an officer of the Company, then the
non-approving officer may elect to terminate his employment agreement. If he
elects to terminate the agreement, he will receive 2.99 times his annual
compensation (or such other amount then permitted under the Internal Revenue
Code without an excess penalty), in addition to the remainder of his
compensation under his existing employment contract. In addition, if
the Company makes or receives a “firm commitment” for a public offering of
Common Shares, each officer will receive a warrant to purchase, at a nominal
value, up to 9.5% of the Company’s common stock, provided they do not
voluntarily terminate employment.
NOTE I– MAJOR
CUSTOMERS
The
Company had two customers who accounted for 11% and 18% of net sales for the
three months ended February 28, 2010. The Company had one customer who accounted
for 18% of accounts receivable at February 28, 2010. The Company had one

NOTE L - LOAN
PAYABLE
In July
2002, the Company obtained a financing commitment with an asset-based lender
totaling $1,000,000 (the “Credit Line”). Borrowings under the Credit Line accrue
interest at the greater of the prime rate plus two percent (2.0%) or 6.75%. In
addition the Company is obligated to pay one-quarter of one percent (1/4 of 1%)
annually as an unused line fee for the difference between $1,000,000 and the
average daily balance of the Credit Line. The Credit Line is collateralized by
substantially all the Company’s assets and contains various financial covenants
pertaining to the maintenance of working capital and tangible net
worth. In December 2003, the Company entered into a Security
Agreement with the lender establishing a restricted cash collateral account
totaling $200,000. The balance on the account including interest accrued is
$244,488 and $244,020 at February 28, 2010 and November 30, 2009, respectively.
At February 28, 2010, the Company was in compliance with the financial
covenants.
