IPD.V - International Parkside Products

[AmandaSa]

This is a thinly traded stock, but I like it for the dividend potential and volume could increase as sales increase. Due to sales increasing and the US/CDN exchange, I believe this will be the least expensive yearly dividend paying stock on the market. In prior years, IPD paid dividends with the exception of 2014 due to the Russian sanctions and loss of sales in the Ukraine. Today, IPD has 19 products in 61 countries through it's subsidiary (Lenspen)

Parkside Optical manufactures and distributes to wholesale distributors the following optical lens cleaning devices: LensPen, PEEPS, DigiKlear, Mini-Pro, Mini-Pro II, MicroPro, CellKlear, MobileKlear, FilterKlear, Vidimax, Laptop Pro, Panamatic, SensorKlear, SensorKlear Loupe, SmartKlear, ScreenKlean, screen cleaning kits, HunterPro Kits, Photo Kits, RangeKlear, DSLR Pro kits, and Microfiber cloth. Since the first shipment of LensPen in August 1993, the Company has expanded sales of these products to over 80 distributors in over 85 countries, and is continuously seeking to add new distributors and items to its range of cleaning devices.

The Company experienced a decrease in revenue - $3,068,004 during the period ($3,636,258 for 2014). This translates into a revenue decrease of $568,254. The Company sells its products globally in U.S. dollars but reports in Canadian dollars, causing distortions in period to period comparisons.

During the period Asian customers were hit by a decline in the SLR camera market, as were customers in Russia and Ukraine. Additionally, disruptions due to war, economic problems and currency decline against the USD have negatively impacted Russian and Ukrainian customers’ ability to purchase the Company’s products and sell them through in their retail markets. Revenues from Russia have decreased by 85% since fiscal 2013 and revenues from the Ukraine are down 80%. Markets in Japan, Germany and the UK however are up between 10 and 25% and Management remains optimistic in these areas. The Company’s Board of Directors responded to the negative events in the important Russia and Ukraine markets by directing management to begin cost cutting measures.

The Company’s second quarter financial statements are a testament to the success of those measures instituted by management.

Parkside attended the Vision West Expo in Las Vegas, Vision East Expo in New York, Photokina in Germany, the SHOT Show and CES in Las Vegas, MIDO Optical Fair in Milan, Italy, the Photography Show in the UK and the FVF show in Lodz, Poland. These shows are a valuable tool to find new distributors and assist existing distributors.

While the Company is economically dependent on one supplier that provides substantially all the products the Company sells, management is of the opinion that should it be necessary, the Company could arrange for an alternate source of product supplies with minimal impact on operations. For the period ended April 30, 2015, the Company had two customers accounting for more than 10% of total sales as follows: 17% and 15%. (2014 – 1 customer as follows: 20%). As at April 30, 2015, the Company had three customers that account for more than 10% of total accounts receivable as follows: 38%, 37% and 13%. (2014 – 3 customers as follows: 54%, 15% and 12%)

During the year ended July 31, 2014, the Company entered into a Licensing agreement pursuant to a new formula for the Company’s cleaning products. The terms of the licensing agreement will be that Richard Darrow (the “Licensor”) will be paid (and has been paid) the sum of US $100,000 for development reimbursements (non-refundable) along with an earned royalty equal to US $0.0625 per unit for each of the units/products sold, with a minimum guarantee of $100,000 per year. As of April 30, 2015 the Company has paid Richard Darrow $50,000 USD (2014 - $nil) in earned royalties and has accrued $25,000 (2014 - $nil). The Licensing agreement is for a term of 18 years expiring in fiscal 2031. On termination, merger, change of control or death, the agreement provides that the Licensor is entitled to receive on royalties for 18 years from the date of the agreement.

The Company is not exposed to a significant amount of liquidity risk. As at the period ended April 30, 2015, the Company had positive working capital of $569,952 (April 30, 2014 - $783,582). The accounts payable and accrued liabilities balance is expected to be covered through the collection of accounts receivable balances and from current cash balances. The Company is not reliant on external financing.
