The September finances are closed and the Southeast Region and our Central Florida market had another strong showing. Our total revenue for the SER was up more than $65M compared to the same time last year. The Central Florida market contributed to the SER total by posting a strong revenue improvement of $7.9M YTD over the previous year’s YTD total. Our market continues to be led by healthy revenue growth in Residential (up $5M), Cox Business (up $1.7M) and Cox Media (up $1.2M). All posted favorable year-to-date revenue gains over previous year YTD totals. Unfortunately, Our Total Operating Expenses were up by $2.2M over this same time last year. However, our Central Florida Operating Cash Flow (OCF) was up by more than $2.2M over the same period last year. Our Total PSU saw strong month to month growth, improving from 215,519K to 218,801K. That increase was supported by PSU gains in every category, including phone. Keep selling those larger “baskets” and increasing our PSUs! Homelife is approaching our 1000th customer in the market. Through September we had 976 CHL PSUs. We really kept the focus through Go All Digital (GAD), Back to School and Hurricanes and Tropical Storms.

Overall, the profit before tax of the Manufacturing Group decreased 13.24%, and the Retail Group decreased 10.77%, for a total decrease of 11.28%. In simple terms, expenses have increased, profits have decreased, and Harrington Collection hasn’t performed very well over the last several years.

So, there is no any significant change in operations. Mr. Cartwright has a very sound control over operations of the firm. Therefore, I believe, the company needs few more years to recover from the debts

Ms. Ringer is largely supporting operations through her line of credit versus managing costs. In review of the operating costs, overhead and administration have increased by 8% from 2008-2011 or $116,870. In addition salary dollars continue to increase from 2008-2011 by $111,150 with no efforts to flex. The other expenses are staying steady in proportion to gross revenues. There may be opportunities in these areas however salaries and overhead is the greatest opportunity to scale back costs and contribute to increased net income and ultimately positive cash flows. Flexing salaries and benefit to 44% of gross revenue and reducing overhead and expenses to 10% of gross revenue is recommended for Ms. Ringer to increase net income to $152,956 and equity to $240,214 (exhibit Operating Statements-2012 proforma).

Based on the Time Interest Earned Ratio Landry’s ability to pay interest bills from profit earned decreased. In 2002 Landry’s could pay their interest bill just over 13 times from earnings before interest tax. In 2003 Landry’s ability to pay interest bills was almost cut in-half to 7 times. We think that as a result of the decrease in ability to pay interest bills, creditors could be concerned about these findings.
