Item 1. Business
 
General
 
Colonial Commercial Corp. (“Colonial”) is a New York corporation which was incorporated on October 28, 1964. Unless otherwise indicated, the term “Company” refers to Colonial Commercial Corp. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company’s operations are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Universal Supply Group, Inc. (“Universal”), The RAL Supply Group, Inc. (“RAL”), and American/Universal Supply, Inc. (“American”). We distribute heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment (HVAC), parts and accessories, climate control systems, appliances, and plumbing fixtures and supplies, primarily, in New Jersey, New York and portions of eastern Pennsylvania.
 
We supply the Amana air conditioning and heating equipment line in New Jersey (exclusive of Cape May and Cumberland counties) and lower portions of New York State. We are also the non-exclusive supplier of the Goodman line of heating and air conditioning equipment in substantially the same trading area. We distribute these products through eight locations in New Jersey, seven locations in lower New York State and one location in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania. Of these locations, two are used for warehousing purposes only. In addition, we distribute American Standard heating and air conditioning equipment, as well as other heating and air conditioning accessories, in Elmsford and Hicksville, New York. We utilize showrooms for the display and sale of kitchen and bathroom fixtures and accessories at our locations in Fishkill, Middletown, New Windsor and Suffern, New York. 
 
We have developed a specialty in the design and sale of energy conservation control systems and the fabrication of customized UL listed control panels, and we also supply indoor air quality components and systems.
 
Our in-house staff provides technical assistance and training to customers. In some cases, we also use vendors’ representatives and outside services. We do not install any equipment or systems.
 
In September 2006 we began to distribute appliances, such as washers and dryers, to appliance dealers primarily in New York, New Jersey, and portions of Connecticut, Delaware and Pennsylvania.
 
Our business is affected by significant outdoor temperature swings. Our sales typically increase during peak heating and cooling demand periods. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is highest in the second and third quarters, while demand for heating equipment is usually highest in the fourth quarter.
 
In 2006, 2005 and 2004, approximately 85% of our sales were for replacement and/or renovation and the remaining 15% of sales were for new construction projects. In the same years, respectively, sales consisted of approximately 40%, 40% and 42% HVAC equipment; 39%, 38% and 38% parts and accessories; and 16%, 16% and 15% climate control systems.
 
We own no patents and have no intellectual property rights or proprietary technology.
 
We carry general liability, comprehensive property damage, workers compensation and product liability insurance in amounts that we consider adequate for our business. We maintain $2,000,000 in the aggregate and $1,000,000 per occurrence general liability coverage, plus a $15,000,000 umbrella policy.
 
No material regulatory requirements apply specifically to our business.

 
As of December 31, 2006, we had 154 non-union full-time employees. We believe that our employee relations are satisfactory. 
 
We have no foreign operations and operate only in one business segment.
 
Distribution, Customers and Suppliers
 
We stock inventory in all of our 17 locations. We deliver products to customers with our fleet of 16 leased and 12 owned trucks and vans. We also make products available for pick-up at our facilities.
 
We sell primarily to contractors who purchase and install equipment and systems for residential, commercial and industrial users. We had approximately 6,000 customers in 2006. No customer accounted for more than 2% of consolidated net sales in 2006. We believe that the loss of any one customer would not have a material adverse effect on our business. We have no long term agreement with any customer.
 
We deal with our customers on a purchase order by purchase order basis. We have no assured stability in our customer base.
 
We purchase inventory from our vendors and maintain this inventory in our warehouses to meet purchasing requirements and ensure continuous availability of merchandise to satisfy our customers’ needs. We occasionally accept the return of merchandise from the customer when returned in unopened cartons, subject to a restocking fee. We do not normally provide extended payment terms to customers. We have no material long term agreements with any supplier.
 
Certain of our supplier agreements limit the sale of competitive products in designated markets that we serve.
 
In 2006, two suppliers accounted for 34% of our purchases. The loss of one or both of these suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our business for at least a short-term period. We believe that the loss of any one of our other suppliers would not have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
Competition
 
We compete with a number of distributors, national chains and national home centers, and also with several air conditioning and heating equipment manufacturers that distribute a significant portion of their products through their own distribution organizations. There is no single manufacturer, distributor or national chain or home center that dominates our market. Competition is based on product availability, customer service, price and quality. We work to maintain a competitive edge by providing in-house training, technical sales support to our customers and by employing experienced personnel at our point-of-sale locations.

 
Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
The following important factors could adversely impact our business.
 
Our business is significantly impacted by changes in general and local economic conditions.
 
Our business is substantially affected by changes in general economic factors outside of our control, such as:
 
 
a.
employment levels and job growth;
 
 
b.
population growth;
 
 
c.
housing demand or modernization of existing homes;
 
 
d.
consumer confidence (which can be substantially affected by external conditions, including international hostilities involving the United States); and
 
 
e.
the availability of financing for homeowners and homebuyers.
 
We may lose business to competitors and may otherwise be unable to favorably compete.
 
See “Business-Competition” section above. Several of the companies that compete with the Company have substantially greater financial and other resources. No assurance can be given that the Company will continue to be able to respond effectively to competitive pressures. Increased competition by existing and future competitors could result in reductions in sales, prices, volumes and gross margins that could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the Company’s success depends, in part, on its ability to gain market share from competitors.
 
We are dependent on third party suppliers to deliver equipment parts and accessories to us for resale to contractors.
 
We have no long term contracts with our suppliers. We are at risk that our suppliers may cease making their products available to us on acceptable terms or at all. The loss of one or both of our two major suppliers could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
We are dependent upon uninterrupted delivery of products.
 
Our Company depends upon transportation of products from our suppliers and to our customers. Any interruption or cessation of the transportation of these products by national or regional stoppages, fuel shortages, or other, will significantly impair the Company’s ability to do business.
 
Our business may be negatively impacted by inventory losses or obsolescence.
 
Our businesses depend on providing current products in good condition from our inventory to the customer. Although we believe that we carry adequate insurance to protect ourselves from significant product losses, any uninsured loss of inventory, damages to inventory, or theft of inventory could have a significant impact on our profitability. Alternatively, in the event that we are unable to sell our inventory in a timely manner, the unsold product may become obsolete and unsaleable and cause us to incur significant financial losses.

 
We could incur substantial losses in the event there are sudden changes in demand for our products.
 
A significant sudden increase in the demand for the Company’s products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of inventory purchases, while a significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory quantities on-hand. Additionally, the Company’s estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate. In any of these cases, the Company may have understated or overstated the write-down required for excess and obsolete inventory or otherwise incur additional financial losses.
 
Our business is largely dependent upon seasonal weather variability.
 
A major portion of our business is the distribution of heating, ventilating and air conditioning products. The sale of these products is heavily influenced by temperature extremes and any major shift in the variation of the climate may have a significant adverse impact on our business.
 
The Company’s financial leverage may result in a negative impact upon our ability to do business. 
 
Our Company is financially leveraged. Our leverage may place burdens on our ability to comply with the terms of our indebtedness, may restrict our ability to pay certain term loans, and further restrict our ability to operate and fulfill our financial obligations. The amount of our debt could have significant consequences. As an example, it could limit our ability to obtain future financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions, or other needs. It requires us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to the payment of our debt and reduces our ability to use cash for other purposes. It has a negative impact on our flexibility in planning or reacting to business changes. It increases our vulnerability to any downturn in our business or to a significant rise in interest rates and may place us at a competitive disadvantage with our competitors who are not in such a leveraged position.
 
Our ability to meet our debt service and other obligations depends upon our future performance. Our earnings vary based upon all the conditions described herein and, hence, our ability to pay our obligations is affected accordingly.
 
We may be unable to renew our credit line at the expiration of its term or obtain a reasonable alternate form of financing which would have a significant impact on the continuation of the operation of our business.
 
Since our debt accrues interest at a floating rate, extended periods of high interest rates could affect the viability of our business.
 
Our Company’s business is dependent upon the creditworthiness of our contractor customers.
 
Our Company would be significantly negatively impacted in the event our contractor customers are unable to pay their obligations to us. This may occur if the economy or housing market slows, unemployment rises, interest rates increase dramatically, a natural disaster occurs within our region, or an act of terror substantially stops our economy from operating for a significant period of time. If these contractors are unable to pay their accounts with us, the result would be that we would be unable to pay our lending institutions and vendors, substantially impacting our ability to operate.

 
We could incur substantial losses for asbestos-based claims.
 
See Item 3, Legal Proceedings for a potential material and adverse effect to us if we are held liable for substantial asbestos claims against a predecessor of one of our subsidiaries, indemnitors fail to honor their indemnification agreements and insurance policies are held not to cover these liabilities.
 
Our ability to operate our Company effectively could be impaired if we fail to attract and retain key personnel.
 
Although William Pagano, a Director and Chief Executive Officer, William Salek, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary and Bernard Korn, a current non-executive employee, former Director and former Chief Executive Officer, have entered into employment agreements with us that expire in 2010, 2007 and 2010, respectively, our ability to operate our businesses and implement our strategies will depend upon our ability to attract and retain other qualified personnel.
 
Our ability to operate our business effectively could be impaired if we are unable to extend the leases for our locations.
 
We lease 17 locations with approximately 323,000 square feet for showrooms, counter sales and warehousing. We own no real estate. Our leases expire at various times between August 31, 2007 and November 30, 2016. Our business will be negatively impacted if we are unable to extend our existing leases at reasonable rates and we are unable to lease alternative space on acceptable terms.
 
Item 2. Properties
 
Our principal executive offices are located at 275 Wagaraw Road, Hawthorne, New Jersey 07506 and are consolidated with the administrative offices of our subsidiary, Universal Supply Group, Inc.
 
The Company maintains 16 combination sales and warehouse locations in Hawthorne, Bogota, Augusta, North Brunswick, Cedar Knolls, Wharton and Westville, New Jersey; Willow Grove, Pennsylvania; Elmsford, Hicksville, Middletown, Fishkill, New Windsor, Peekskill, Poughkeepsie and Suffern, New York. Additionally, the Company maintains two separate warehouse locations in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey and New Hampton, New York. These locations consist of approximately 323,000 square feet under leases expiring between 2007 and 2016 with current aggregate annual rents of approximately $2,744,513. In addition, the Company has a month-to-month lease for a portion of the New Windsor, New York location, consisting of 11,000 square feet, for $2,500 per month.
 
The premises located at Middletown, Fishkill, New Windsor and Suffern, New York also include showrooms of kitchen and bathroom fixtures and accessories.
 
Our premises are suitable and adequate for their intended use and are adequately covered by insurance. As of December 31, 2006, we leased all our facilities.

 
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
 
Universal Supply Group, Inc. is a New York corporation (“Universal”). On June 25, 1999, Universal acquired substantially all of the assets of Universal Supply Group, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, including its name, pursuant to the terms of a purchase agreement. The Company filed a copy of the purchase agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 1999 as Exhibit 10(g) on Form 10KSB, and the Company filed a copy of an amendment to the purchase agreement on July 9, 1999 as Exhibit 10(a)(ii) on Form 8-K. Subsequent to the sale, Universal Supply Group, Inc. (the selling corporation) formerly known as Universal Engineering Co., Inc., changed its name to Hilco, Inc. Hilco, Inc. acquired the assets of Amber Supply Co., Inc., formerly known as Amber Oil Burner Supply Co., Inc., in 1998, prior to Hilco’s sale of assets to Universal. Hilco, Inc. is hereinafter referred to as the “Predecessor.” The majority shareholders of Hilco, Inc. were John A. Hildebrandt and Paul Hildebrandt.
 
The Company understands that Predecessor and many other companies have been sued in the Superior Court of New Jersey (Middlesex County) by plaintiffs filing lawsuits alleging injury due to asbestos. Currently, there exist 93 plaintiffs in these lawsuits relating to alleged sales of asbestos products, or products containing asbestos, by the Predecessor. The Company never sold any asbestos related products.
 
Of the existing plaintiffs, seven filed actions in 2006, 15 filed actions in 2005, 44 filed actions in 2004, 24 filed actions in 2003, and three filed actions in 2002. There are 108 other plaintiffs that have had their actions dismissed and eight other plaintiffs that have settled as of December 31, 2006 for a total of $3,313,000. There has been no judgment against the Predecessor.
 
Our Universal subsidiary was named by 24 plaintiffs; of these, two filed actions in 1999, one filed an action in 2000, five filed actions in 2001, eleven filed actions in 2005 and five filed actions in 2006. Six plaintiffs naming Universal have had their actions dismissed and, of the total $3,313,000 of settled actions, two plaintiffs naming Universal have settled for $26,500. No money was paid by Universal in connection with any settlement. Following these dismissed and settled actions, there currently exist 16 plaintiffs that name Universal.
 
As set forth in more detail below, the Company has been indemnified against asbestos-based claims, and insurance companies are defending the interests of the Predecessor and the Company in these cases.
 
Based on advice of counsel, the Company believes that none of the litigation that was brought against the Company’s Universal subsidiary through December 31, 2006 is material, and that the only material litigation that was brought against Predecessor through that date was Rhodes v. A.O. Smith Corporation, filed on April 26, 2004 in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Middlesex County, Docket Number MID-L-2979-04AS. The Company was advised that the Rhodes case was settled for $3,250,000 (“Settlement”) under an agreement reached in connection with a $10,000,000 jury verdict that was rendered on August 5, 2005. The Company was not a defendant in the Rhodes case.
 
On April 29, 2005, prior to the Rhodes case trial, the Predecessor filed a third party complaint against Sid Harvey Industries (“Third Party Complaint”) in an action demanding contributor payment in connection with the Settlement. Sid Harvey Industries moved successfully for summary judgment. The Predecessor filed an appeal as to the dismissal of Predecessor’s Third Party Complaint. In a decision dated December 29, 2006, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, reversed the dismissal of Predecessor’s Third Party Complaint and remanded the matter for further proceedings as to Predecessor’s claim for contribution.

 
The Company believes that Rhodes differed from the other lawsuits in that plaintiff established that he contracted mesothelioma as a result of his occupational exposure to asbestos dust and fibers and that a predecessor of the Company was a major supplier of the asbestos containing products that allegedly caused his disease.
 
Indemnification
 
John A. Hildebrandt, Paul Hildebrandt and the Predecessor have jointly and severally agreed to indemnify our Universal subsidiary from and against any and all damages, liabilities and claims due to exposure to asbestos at any time prior to the June 25, 1999 closing of the purchase agreement referred to earlier. These agreements are set forth in the purchase agreement. Paul Hildebrandt, one of the indemnitors, was a Director of the Company from September 29, 2004 to January 28, 2005.
 
The indemnitors may use their own counsel to defend these claims. The indemnitors are not liable for any settlement effected without their consent. The indemnitors may settle and pay money claims without the consent of the Company. There is no indemnification unless claims aggregate $50,000; once this trigger point is reached, indemnification is required for all claims, including the first $50,000, but excluding claims of less than $10,000. The indemnification requirement survives at least until 30 days after the running of any relevant statutes of limitation.
 
The obligation of the indemnitors is joint and several, so that the Company can have recourse against any one or more of these indemnitors, whether or not any other indemnitor has previously defaulted on its obligation to us. There are no other limitations to our rights to indemnification.
 
Insurance
 
The assets that the Predecessor sold to us included its insurance policies and other agreements and contracts. The policies provide coverage for liability accruing during the periods for which premiums were paid. The Predecessor was formed in 1940. Copies of policies are available for each year beginning in 1970 and ending with the closing under the purchase agreement in 1999. Copies of policies for the period from 1940 to 1969 are not available.
 
Insurance companies acknowledge coverage for potential asbestos claims under certain of these policies. Insurance companies under additional policies have reserved their right to deny coverage but have continued to defend and indemnify the Predecessor and the Company under the contested policies.
 
There are periods during the years from 1940 to 1999 in which our Predecessor did not have coverage for potential asbestos claims. Subject to litigation, insurance companies may maintain that the existence of these periods’ results in coverage for only a portion of a particular injury that varies with the period during which there was asbestos coverage relating to the injury, and that the balance of any settlement or judgment is to be paid by the insured. To date, no insurance company has claimed any contribution for a gap in coverage except for a claim for $159.64 made by one insurance company to the Predecessor in 1995. The Predecessor asserted that it had no obligation to pay this amount and did not make any payment.
 
Insurance companies have to date defended us and the Predecessor, and have paid all settlement amounts and defense costs. Except for $159.64 referred to above, the insurance companies have not requested any payments from us or from the Predecessor.
 
Our Universal subsidiary has not engaged in the sale of asbestos products since its formation in 1997. Its product liability policies for all years since 1998 exclude asbestos claims.

 
General
 
Regardless of indemnification and insurance coverage, we do not in any event consider our Company to be liable for the asbestos-based lawsuits that name us or for any other claim that arises as a result of actions or omissions by Predecessor companies. We expressly disclaimed the assumption of any liabilities when we purchased the assets of the Predecessor. It is our opinion that the existing asbestos litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. Nevertheless, we could be materially and adversely affected if we are held liable for substantial asbestos claims or if the Company incurs substantial legal or settlement costs. This material and adverse effect would occur if indemnitors fail to honor their indemnification agreements and insurance is not available either because policy limits are exceeded, or because insurance companies successfully claim limitations on their liabilities by reason of gaps in coverage or otherwise.
 
Since we do not regard as likely the potential payment of any asbestos-based claim, we have not accrued any balance for any period relating to asbestos claims, and we have not recorded any amount for asbestos claims for any period in any of our financial statements.
 
Other Litigation
 
The Company is involved in other litigation incidental to the operation of its business. The Company vigorously defends all matters in which the Company or its subsidiaries are named defendants and, for insurable losses, maintains significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments. Although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage or the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe the ultimate liability associated with any claims or litigation will have a material impact to its financial condition or results of operations.

In June 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”) to grant options to key employees and other persons who render service (non-employee) to the Company. The plan expired on December 31, 2005.
 
At December 31, 2006, a total of 74,000 options were outstanding under the Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan, which have expiration dates ranging from 2009 to 2013.
 
On September 29, 2006, the Company adopted the Colonial Commercial Corp. 2006 Stock Plan, (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan enables the Company to grant equity and equity-linked awards to our Directors, officers, employees and other persons who provide services to the Company. The 2006 Plan is intended to allow us to provide incentives that will (1) strengthen the desire of highly competent persons to provide services to us and (2) further stimulate their efforts on our behalf.
 
On December 6, 2006, (the “Grant Date”), 100,000 options, having an expiration date in 2016, were granted under the Company’s 2006 Plan, of which 40,000 options vested and became exercisable immediately and 20,000 options vest and become exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of the Grant Date. As of December 31, 2006 all 100,000 options were outstanding. On January 22, 2007, Phillip Siegel resigned as a Director and his 15,000 options that would have vested on each of the first three anniversaries of the Grant Date were forfeited and he has sixty days from the date of his resignation to exercise his 10,000 vested options.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
The following material contains forward-looking statements relating to such matters as anticipated financial performance and business prospects. When used in this Report, the words “anticipates,” “expects,” “believes,” “may,” “intends” and similar expressions are intended to be among the statements that identify forward-looking statements. From time to time, the Company may also publish forward-looking statements. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the consummation of certain events referred to in this report, the availability of financing, technological changes, competitive factors, maintaining customer and vendor relationships, inventory obsolescence and availability, and other risks detailed in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which could cause the Company’s actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the Company’s forward-looking statements.

 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The accounting policies below are critical to the Company’s business operations and the understanding of results of operations. The Company’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of asset and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
Revenue for the Company primarily consists of sales of heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment, climate control systems and plumbing fixtures and supplies. The Company recognizes revenue after it receives a purchase order with a fixed determinable price from the customer and shipment of products has occurred in accordance with the shipping terms. There are no further obligations on the part of the Company subsequent to revenue recognition, except for returns of defective products from the Company’s customers, which are covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. The Company will receive a vendor credit from the  manufacturer related to the warranted product in question, at which time credits are issued to the customer. The Company does not provide a warranty on products sold; rather the warranty is provided by the manufacturer.
 
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company establishes and monitors the allowance for doubtful accounts based on the credit risk of specific customers, customer concentrations, historical trends and other information. The Company had accounts receivable of $9,281,344 and an allowance for doubtful accounts of $212,043 as of December 31, 2006. Although the Company believes its allowance is sufficient, if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required.
 
The Company writes down its inventories for estimated slow moving and obsolete goods in accordance with the lower of cost or market value, based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. A significant sudden increase in the demand for the Company’s products could result in a short-term increase in the cost of inventory purchases, while a significant decrease in demand could result in an increase in the amount of excess inventory quantities on-hand. Additionally, the Company’s estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case the Company may have understated or overstated the write-down required for excess and obsolete inventory.

 
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment. In assessing the recoverability of the Company’s goodwill, the Company must make assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of the respective assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Upon adoption and again as a result of the Company’s annual impairment test, there was no indication of impairment for goodwill acquired in prior business combinations. If the Company’s estimates or its related assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record impairment charges related to its goodwill. Goodwill and other intangible assets amounting to $1,628,133 and $3,500 at December 31, 2006, respectively, consist of assets arising from acquisitions.
 
The Company has accounted for, and currently accounts for, income taxes in accordance with Statement 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes.” This statement establishes financial accounting and reporting standards for the effects of income taxes that result from an enterprise’s activities during the current and preceding years. It requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes. The realization of future tax benefits of deductible temporary differences and operating loss or tax credit carryforwards will depend on whether the Company will have sufficient taxable income of an appropriate character within the carryback and carryforward period permitted by the tax law to allow for utilization of the deductible amounts and carryforwards. Without sufficient taxable income to offset the deductible amounts and carryforwards, the related tax benefits will expire unused. The Company evaluates both positive and negative evidence in making a determination as to whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had a deferred tax valuation allowance of approximately $9,000,000.
 
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2006 with Year Ended December 31, 2005
 
Sales increased by 7.2%, or $4,803,707, to $71,494,652 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $66,690,945 for the same period in 2005. The increase in sales is primarily a result of increased market penetration at two of the Company’s subsidiaries, an increase in general industry pricing, and increased sales of additional hydronic heating product lines. The increases in these areas were offset by weaknesses in sales of heating equipment, parts and accessories related to an unusually warm November and December, as well as weaknesses in sales of commercial control systems.
 
Gross profit increased by 5.9%, or $1,191,680, to $21,374,856 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $20,183,176 for the same period in 2005. Gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales decreased by 0.4% to 29.9% in 2006 compared to 30.3% for the comparable period in 2005. The lower gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales was caused by a decrease in sales of parts for heating systems due to a warmer November and December. The sale of parts usually commands higher margins than equipment sales. Cost of sales excludes the distribution costs of incoming freight, purchasing, receiving, inspection, warehousing and handling costs, as these costs are included in our selling, general and administrative expenses. Our gross margins may not be comparable to those of other entities since some entities include these distribution costs in the cost of sales. These distribution costs were $431,780 and $421,248 for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 
Operating income decreased by 18.6%, or $445,692, to $1,954,732 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $2,400,424 for the same period in 2005. This percentage decrease in operating income reflects the effect of the difference between the increase in gross profit of 5.9% compared to the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of 9.2%. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was $1,637,372 to $19,420,124 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $17,782,752 for the same period in 2005. This was caused by increased expenses for additional personnel to improve customer service, and added cost for increased health insurance, gasoline, utility expenses and decreasing sales in our heating replacement parts and commercial control systems business. Staffing costs increased by $802,077, while costs for trucking, fuel, and facilities increased by $197,670.
 
Other income increased by 1.9%, or $5,269, to $277,866 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $272,597 for the same period in 2005. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in service charges collected from customers’ past due invoices in the year ended December 31, 2006. Interest expense, net increased by 29.7%, or $310,331, to $1,354,785 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $1,044,454 for the same period in 2005. The interest expense increase is the result of increasing interest rates and increased borrowings under the credit line to support higher inventory levels and accounts receivable related to increased sales and higher inventory levels. The revolving credit line bears interest at .25% below prime rate, which was 8.0% at December 31, 2006 compared to 7.25% at December 31, 2005. As a result, pre tax income decreased by 46.1%, or $750,754, to $877,813 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $1,628,567 for the same period in 2005.
 
The Company’s net income decreased by 64.4%, or $1,362,209, to $753,422 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to net income of $2,115,631 for the same period in 2005. This decrease in net income was caused by the decrease in pre-tax income of $750,754, as stated above, in addition to the effect of the inclusion of a deferred tax benefit in the year ended December 31, 2005 in the amount of $641,500 with no benefit recognized in the year ended December 31, 2006. In 2005, the tax benefit resulted from extending the tax benefit calculation from a two year earnings projection to a three year earnings projection, due to improved earnings predictability.
 
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2005 with Year Ended December 31, 2004
 
The Company’s net income increased 27.4% to $2,115,631 for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to net income of $1,661,156 for the same period in 2004.
 
Sales increased 8.5% to $66,690,945 for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $61,454,128 for the same period in 2004. The increase in sales is primarily a result of increased market penetration at two of the Company’s subsidiaries, an increase in general industry pricing, above average temperatures during the summer cooling season, and a continuing strong demand for residential and light commercial HVAC products and plumbing fixtures and supplies.
 
Gross profit increased 9.8% to $20,183,176 for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $18,384,147 for the same period in 2004. The increase in gross profit is primarily the result of the mentioned increases in sales, and the Company’s improved ability to purchase products at more favorable pricing. Gross profit expressed as a percentage of sales increased to 30.3% in 2005 compared to 29.9% for the comparable period in 2004. Cost of sales excludes the distribution costs of incoming freight, purchasing, receiving, inspection, warehousing and handling costs, as these costs are included in our selling, general and administrative expenses. Our gross margins may not be comparable to those of other entities since some entities include these distribution costs in the cost of sales. These distribution costs were $421,248 and $325,109 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 
Selling, general and administrative expenses and cost of operations increased 6.7% to $17,782,752 for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $16,666,335 for the same period in 2004. This increase is primarily a result of costs associated with the increased sales growth, increased utility and fuel costs, general cost increases, increased accounting fees, and an increase of certain variable expense items based on sales, such as salaries, commissions, marketing expenses and vehicle costs.
 
Other income decreased by $47,762 to $272,597 for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $320,359 for the same period in 2004. This decrease is primarily the result of a $58,000 gain from the settlement of a contingent liability of a discontinued operation recognized in 2004 with no such gain in 2005, partially offset by a $15,994 increase in service charges collected for the year ended December 31, 2005.
 
Interest expense, net increased 19.3% to $1,044,454 for the year ended December 31, 2005 from $875,683 for the same period in 2004. This increase is primarily the result of eight increases in prime rate, raising the rate from 5.25% on December 31, 2004 to 7.25% on December 31, 2005.
 
Income tax benefit decreased by $11,604 to a net tax benefit of $487,064 for the year ended December 31, 2005 from a $498,668 net tax benefit for the same period in 2004. In accordance with FASB Statement Number 109, the Company recorded a deferred tax benefit of $641,500 for the year ended December 31, 2005 in order to recognize the expected utilization of available operating loss carryforwards, compared to $645,600 in the year ended December 31, 2004. In addition, the Company recorded a state tax provision of $170,675 for the year ended December 31, 2005 compared to $137,932 for the year ended December 31, 2004.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Credit Facility
 
The Company has a total secured loan facility of $15,000,000 pursuant to a credit and security agreement (“Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. (“Wells”) consisting of a revolving line of credit including a $2,000,000 two-year term loan. Final payment of the term loan was made in July of 2006. The revolving credit line bears interest at .25% below prime, and the term loan bore interest at .50% above prime. On May 11, 2006 the Company received a $500,000 overadvance, payable in equal installments of $12,500 each business day commencing July 11, 2006. The overadvance was paid in full on September 5, 2006. Effective June 23, 2006, the Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date from August 1, 2009 to August 1, 2010. The facility consists of a $15,000,000 revolving line of credit which expires on August 1, 2010. The Company has standby letters of credit, which expire on July 31, 2007 and September 1, 2007, that reduce the credit facility by $300,000 and $100,000, respectively, and additional reserves determined by the bank that reduce the credit facility by $100,000. Availability under the revolving credit line is determined by a percentage of available assets as defined in the Agreement, less letters of credit and reserves, and was $142,216 as of December 31, 2006. The balance outstanding under the revolving line of credit was $13,615,696 as of December 31, 2006. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility, as of December 31, 2006 was 8.0%.

 
Substantially all of the assets of the Company, as well as a pledge of the stock of Colonial Commercial Corp.’s operating subsidiaries, collateralize the loans. The facility contains covenants relating to the financial condition of the Company, its business operations, and restricts the payment of dividends, subordinated debt, purchase of securities, and capital expenditures. The Company must maintain a tangible net worth of approximately $3.8 million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. In addition, the Company is required to maintain certain levels of net income and cash flows, as defined in the agreement. All loans are due on demand by the bank, and accordingly, have been classified as current liabilities. In the event that Mr. Pagano no longer performs the duties of the President of Universal or the Vice President of RAL or American for any reason other than death or disability, the Company will be considered in default of its credit agreement with Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. unless a waiver is obtained.
 
The Company believes that the credit facility is sufficient to finance its current operating needs. However, the business of the Company would be materially and adversely affected if the bank demands payment of the loan and the Company is unable to refinance the loan.
 
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $482,251 in cash compared with $613,456 at December 31, 2005.
 
Net cash used in operating activities was $1,409,274 for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The net cash used in operating activities for the 2006 period is primarily a result of net income of $753,422 and non-cash charges of $768,545, offset by cash used in operating assets and liabilities of $2,931,241.  The increase in accounts receivable of $701,615 was a direct correlation to the increase in sales compared to the prior year. Accounts payable decreased by $1,272,786 as a reflection of the reduced purchase requirements for the warmer months of November and December and $400,000 additional cash that became available as a result of the final payment of the term loan in July of 2006.
 
Cash flows used in investing activities were $450,129 during the year ended December 31, 2006 due to $300,504 in purchases of equipment and $149,625 in the purchase of Speed Queen assets from Goldman Associates of NY, Inc.
 
Cash flows provided by financing activities of $1,728,198 consisted of $2,432,688 in borrowings under the credit facility-revolving credit, $500,000 in borrowings under the credit facility-overadvance, $8,000 received from the exercise of stock options and $13,073 from the issuance of notes payable. Cash flows used in financing activities consisted of $562,977 for repayments under the credit facility-term loan, $500,000 repayments under the credit facility-overadvance and $162,586 for repayments on notes payable.  
 
Equity Transactions
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 32,000 shares of common stock pursuant to the exercise of stock options. On April 3, 2006, Ronald H. Miller obtained 12,000 shares of common stock, by exercising 12,000 outstanding stock options. Mr. Miller is a Director of the Company.  On April 17, 2006, Jack Rose obtained 12,000 shares of common stock, by exercising 12,000 outstanding stock options. Mr. Rose was a Director of the Company at the time of the transaction. On May 16, 2006, a non-executive employee of the Company obtained 4,000 shares of common stock by exercising 4,000 outstanding stock options. On May 31, 2006, a non-executive employee of the Company obtained 4,000 shares of common stock by exercising 4,000 outstanding stock options.

 
The Company’s reports on Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A filed on April 21, 2006 and April 25, 2006, respectively, refer to sales of common stock by former Directors of the Company to two current Directors and other investors. Concurrently with these transactions, Messrs. Bernard Korn, William Koon, Jack Rose and Carl Sussman resigned as Directors of the Company, and Mr. Korn also resigned as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, holders of a total of 17,221 shares of redeemable convertible preferred stock converted these shares into 17,221 shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2006, the number of convertible preferred shares outstanding was 467,500. As a result of this reduction in the number of outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock, commencing at the 2006 annual meeting of stockholders, the holders of common and convertible preferred stock vote together as one class to elect one class of Directors.

Notes payable carry a fixed interest percentage rate per annum, with the exception of a $750,000 note that accrues interest at the prime rate. “Notes payable interest” in the table assumes an average annual prime rate of 8.25%. The prime rate as of December 31, 2006 was 8.25%. See Note 6, Notes Payable, of the Financial Statements for the terms of these notes.
 
“Line of credit” in the table is shown as a less than one year obligation because the lending bank may demand payment at any time. The line of credit consists of a revolving credit line that bears interest at .25% below prime. “Line of credit interest” in the table assumes that the principal amount outstanding on the line is paid in full on December 31, 2007, that the principal amount to be repaid on that date will be $13,616,000 (which is the principal amount that was outstanding on December 31, 2006), and assumes that the average prime rate will be 8.25% in 2007. The prime rate was 8.25% as of December 31, 2006. See Note 5, Financing Arrangements, of the Financial Statements for the terms of the line of credit.

 
Impact of Inflation and Seasonality
 
To date, inflation has had a minor impact on the Company’s operations causing limited price increases in certain product lines. The Company’s business is affected by significant outdoor temperature swings. Demand related to the residential central air conditioning replacement market is highest in the second and third quarters with demand for heating equipment usually highest in the fourth quarter.
 
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Market risk represents the risk of changes in value of a financial instrument, derivative or non-derivative, caused by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. The Company has no financial instruments that give it exposure to foreign exchange rate or equity price risk.
 
The Company’s pre-tax earnings and cash flows are exposed to changes in interest rates as all borrowings under its credit facility bear interest based on the prime rate less .25%, and the $750,000 note to Goldman Associates of NY, Inc. bears interest at the prime rate. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in such rates would reduce the pre-tax earnings and cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2006 by approximately $115,113 over a one-year period, assuming the borrowing level remains consistent with the outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2006. The fair value of the borrowings under the credit facility is not affected by changes in market interest rates.
 
The Company’s remaining interest-bearing obligations are at fixed rates of interest and as such do not expose pre-tax earnings and cash flows to changes in market interest rates. The change in fair value of the Company’s fixed rate obligations resulting from a hypothetical 10% adverse change in interest rates would not be material.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
An evaluation has been carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and the operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2006 (“Evaluation Date”). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, the disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed and effective to ensure that (i) information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and (ii) such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Item 11. Executive Compensation
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
Overview
 
This compensation discussion and analysis describes and analyzes the material elements of compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to each of our executive officers who served as named executive officers during the last completed fiscal year. This compensation discussion and analysis focuses on the information contained in the following tables and related footnotes and narrative for primarily the last completed fiscal year, but we also describe compensation actions taken before or after the last completed fiscal year to the extent it enhances the understanding of our executive compensation disclosure.
 
Prior to June 13, 2006, our Board of Directors oversaw and administered our executive compensation program. The compensation committee currently oversees the design and administration of our executive compensation program.
 
The principal elements of our executive compensation program are base salary, annual incentive compensation award, stock options and other benefits and perquisites. Our other benefits and perquisites consist of automobile payments, related automobile costs, prescription benefits and reimbursement for Medicare payments. Our philosophy is to position the aggregate of these elements at a level that is commensurate with our size and sustained performance.
 
Compensation Program Objectives and Philosophy
 
The objectives of our compensation program are to:
 
 
a.
Attract, motivate and retain qualified and dedicated executive officers.
 
 
b.
Retain talented executives and motivate them to achieve business objectives that will enhance stockholder value.
 
 
c.
Provide our executive officers with cash incentives to further the interests of the Company and our stockholders.
 
Generally, the compensation of our executive officers is composed of a base salary, an annual incentive compensation award and equity awards in the form of stock options. In setting base salaries, the Board generally reviewed (and going forward the compensation committee will review) the individual contributions of the particular executive. The annual incentive compensation award for 2006 is determined by terms set forth in each executive officer’s employment agreement. In addition, stock options may be granted to provide the opportunity for long-term compensation based upon the performance of our stock over time.
 
The following is the compensation committee’s policy for persons who do not have employment agreements with the Company:

 
The compensation committee is responsible for determining the annual salary and incentive compensation awards, stock awards and other compensation of executive officers who do not have employment agreements as well as stock awards and other compensation of executive officers who have employment agreements. In its deliberations regarding compensation of executive officers, the compensation committee considers the following factors:
 
 
a.
Company performance, both separately and in relation to similar companies;
 
 
b.
The individual performance, experience and scope of responsibilities of each executive officer;
 
 
c.
Compensation and stock award information disclosed in the proxy statements of other companies;
 
 
d.
Historical compensation levels and stock awards at the Company;
 
 
e.
The overall competitive environment for executives and the level of compensation necessary to attract and retain executive talent; and
 
 
f.
The recommendations of management.
 
Compensation Process
 
Prior to June 13, 2006, our Board approved the compensation of our named executive officers, including the terms of their employment agreements. Going forward, for each of our named executive officers, the compensation committee will, in accordance with the terms and conditions of any then effective employment agreements, review and approve all elements of compensation taking into consideration recommendations from our chief executive officer (for compensation other than his own), as well as competitive market guidance provided at the request of the compensation committee.
 
The Company’s compensation program for executives consists of three elements:
 
 
a.
base salaries
 
 
b.
performance-based annual incentive compensation awards
 
 
c.
periodic grants of stock options
 
Base Salaries
 
The salaries for the executive officers are designed to retain qualified and dedicated executive officers. The compensation committee reviews salary recommendations made by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (other than for executive officers covered by employment agreements), and evaluates individual responsibility levels, performance and length of service.
 
Annual Incentive Compensation Awards
 
Annual incentive compensation awards provide the Company with a means of rewarding performance based upon the attainment of corporate profitability during the year. Mr. Pagano and Mr. Salek, pursuant to their employment contracts, receive annual incentive compensation awards based upon a percentage of earnings of the Company’s subsidiaries. Mr. Pagano and Mr. Salek accrued an incentive compensation award of $260,109 and $30,958, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2006.
 
Stock Options
 
Stock options may be granted to provide the opportunity for long-term compensation based upon the performance of our stock over time. During 2006, no stock options were granted to the Company’s employees, or the executive officers.

 
Employee Benefit and Health Plans
 
The Company has a 401(k) plan, which covers substantially all employees. Participants in the plan may contribute a percentage of compensation, but not in excess of the maximum allowed under the Internal Revenue Code. The plan provides for matching contributions up to a maximum of 3% of employees’ qualified wages.
 
The Company makes available life and health insurance for full time employees. Both the Company and the employees contribute to the payment of this plan in accordance with a published schedule as described in the Company’s employment manual.

Related Party Transaction Policies and Procedures
 
Policy
 
It is the policy of the Board of Directors of Colonial Commercial Corp. (the "Company") that all Interested Transactions with Related Parties, as those terms are defined in this policy, shall be subject to approval or ratification in accordance with the procedures set forth below.
 
Procedures
 
The Board of Directors of the Company, or, if directed by the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee or any other independent committee appointed by the Board of Directors, shall review the material facts of all Interested Transactions that require the Committee’s approval and either approve or disapprove of the entry into the Interested Transaction, subject to the exceptions described below. If advance Board or committee approval of an Interested Transaction is not feasible, then the Interested Transaction shall be considered and, if the Board or committee determines it to be appropriate, ratified at the Board’s or committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting. In determining whether to approve or ratify an Interested Transaction, the Board or committee will take into account, among other factors it deems appropriate, whether the Interested Transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the Related Person’s interest in the transaction.
 
The Board of Directors and the Audit Committee have reviewed the Interested Transactions described below in "Standing Pre-Approval for Certain Interested Transactions" and determined that each of the Interested Transactions described therein shall be deemed to be pre-approved or ratified (as applicable) by the Board and the Audit Committee under the terms of this policy.
 
No Director shall participate in any discussion or approval of an Interested Transaction for which he or she is a Related Party, except that the Director shall provide all material information concerning the Interested Transaction to the Board or the committee.
 
If an Interested Transaction will be ongoing, the Board may establish guidelines for the Company’s management to follow in its ongoing dealings with the Related Party. Thereafter, the Board, on at least an annual basis, shall review and assess ongoing relationships with the Related Party to see that they are in compliance with these guidelines and that the Interested Transaction remains appropriate.
 
Definitions
 
An “Interested Transaction” is any transaction, arrangement or relationship or series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) the Company is a participant, and (3) any Related Party has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or a less than 10 percent beneficial owner of another entity).

4.
Transactions where all shareholders receive proportional benefits. Any transaction where the Related Person’s interest arises solely from the ownership of the Company’s common stock and all holders of the Company’s common stock received the same benefit on a pro rata basis (e.g. dividends);

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Colonial Commercial Corp. and Subsidiaries:
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Colonial Commercial Corp. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide 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 Colonial Commercial Corp. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
We have also audited the financial statement Schedule II (Valuation and Qualifying Accounts) for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. In our opinion, this schedule presents fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be set forth therein.

COLONIAL COMMERCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004
 
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
 
(a) Description of Business
 
Colonial Commercial Corp. (“Colonial”), through its operating Subsidiaries, Universal Supply Group, Inc. (“Universal”), RAL Supply Group, Inc. (“RAL”) and American/Universal Supply Inc. (“American”) (together, the “Company”), is a distributor of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), climate control products, plumbing fixtures and supplies and appliances to building contractors and other users, which the Company considers its only industry segment. The Company’s products are marketed primarily to HVAC contractors, which, in turn, sell such products to residential and commercial/industrial customers. The Company’s customers are located in the United States, primarily New Jersey, New York and portions of eastern Pennsylvania. The Company has no long term agreement with any customer. The Company deals with its customers on a purchase order by purchase order basis. The Company has no assured stability in its customer base. The Company has no material long term agreements with any supplier. Certain supplier agreements limit the sale of competitive products in designated markets that the Company serves.
 
(b) Principles of Consolidation 
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Colonial and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
(c) Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is recognized when the earnings process is complete, generally upon shipment of products in accordance with shipping terms. There are no further obligations on the part of the Company subsequent to revenue recognition, except for returns of defective products from the Company’s customers, which are covered under the manufacturer’s warranty. The Company will receive a vendor credit from the  manufacturer related to the warranted product in question, at which time credits are issued to the customer. The Company does not provide a warranty on products sold other than the warranty provided by the manufacturer.
 
(d) Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investment instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at December 31, 2006 and 2005.
 
(e) Accounts Receivable 
 
Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables recorded at original invoice amount, less an estimated allowance for uncollectible accounts. Trade credit is generally extended on a short-term basis; thus trade receivables generally do not bear interest. However, a service charge may be applied to receivables that are past due. These charges, when collected,  are included as other income. Trade receivables are periodically evaluated for collectibility based on past credit history with customers and their current financial condition. Changes in the estimated collectibility of trade receivables are recorded in the results of operations for the period in which the estimate is revised. Trade receivables that are deemed uncollectible are offset against the allowance for uncollectible accounts. The Company generally does not require collateral for trade receivables.

 
COLONIAL COMMERCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

(f) Inventory
 
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market and consists solely of finished goods. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.
 
Distribution costs of incoming freight, purchasing, receiving, inspection, warehousing and handling costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Such costs were $431,780, $421,248 and $325,109 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
 
(g) Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
 
Computer hardware and software
   
3-5 years
 
Furniture and fixtures 
   
5 years
 
Automobiles 
   
3-5 years
 
Showroom fixtures and displays
   
3 years
 
 
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.
 
(h) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets  
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets determined to have finite lives are amortized over their remaining useful lives. The Company has determined Universal and RAL are reporting units.
 
(i) Stock Options
 
Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company used the intrinsic-value method of accounting for stock-based awards granted to employees. In accordance with SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure,” the following table presents the effect on net income and net income per share, had compensation cost for the Company’s stock plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”.
 
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the modified prospective application method of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which establishes standards for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. This standard requires an entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. This eliminates the exception to account for such awards using the intrinsic method previously allowable under APB Opinion No. 25. SFAS No. 123 (R) will be effective for the first period after December 31, 2005.

(j) Net Income Per Common Share
 
Basic income per share excludes any dilution. It is based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Dilutive earnings per share reflect the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.
 
(k) Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
 
The Company records a valuation allowance against any portion of the deferred income tax asset when it believes, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

 
COLONIAL COMMERCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
 
(l) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of
 
Long-lived assets, such as intangible assets, furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements, are evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable through estimated undiscounted future cash flows from the use of these assets. When any such impairment exists, the related assets will be written down to fair value.
 
(m) Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
(n) Recent Issued Accounting Pronouncements 
 
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an interpretation FASB No. 109 (“FIN 48”), which prescribes accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions. This interpretation defines the criteria that must be met for the benefits of a tax position to be recognized in the financial statements and the measurement of tax benefits recognized. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective as of the beginning of the Company’s 2007 fiscal year, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting FIN 48 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“SFAS 157”). This Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
2. Business Acquisitions and Discontinued Operations 
 
On January 28, 2002, Atlantic, a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, filed a voluntary petition with the U. S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U. S. Bankruptcy Code. On May 18, 2005, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of New York dismissed the petition. Atlantic is a discontinued operation and has no assets. Neither Colonial Commercial Corp. nor any of its other subsidiaries were part of the Chapter 11 filing.
 
The Company’s investment in Atlantic’s common stock was recognized at a cost value of $219,007 of guaranteed liabilities as of December 31, 2002. Colonial recognized the $219,007 of guaranteed liabilities of Atlantic until June 2004, at which time the Company settled the claim for $161,000 and recognized a gain of $58,007.

5. Financing Arrangements
 
The Company has a total secured loan facility of $15,000,000 pursuant to a credit and security agreement (“Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. (“Wells”) consisting of a revolving line of credit including a $2,000,000 two-year term loan. Final payment of the term loan was made in July of 2006. The revolving credit line bears interest at .25% below prime, and the term loan bore interest at .50% above prime. On May 11, 2006 the Company received a $500,000 overadvance, payable in equal installments of $12,500 each business day commencing July 11, 2006. The overadvance was paid in full on September 5, 2006. Effective June 23, 2006, the Agreement was amended to extend the maturity date from August 1, 2009 to August 1, 2010. The facility consists of a $15,000,000 revolving line of credit which expires on August 1, 2010. The Company has standby letters of credit which expire on July 31, 2007 and September 1, 2007, that reduce the credit facility by $300,000 and $100,000, respectively, and additional reserves determined by the bank that reduce the credit facility by $100,000. Availability under the revolving credit line is determined by a percentage of available assets as defined in the Agreement, less letters of credit and reserves, and was $142,216 as of December 31, 2006. The balance outstanding under the revolving line of credit was $13,615,696 as of December 31, 2006. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility, as of December 31, 2006 was 8.0%.
 
Substantially all of the assets of the Company, as well as a pledge of the stock of Colonial Commercial Corp.’s operating subsidiaries, collateralize the loans. The facility contains covenants relating to the financial condition of the Company, its business operations, and restricts the payment of dividends, subordinated debt, purchase of securities, and capital expenditures. The Company must maintain a tangible net worth of approximately $3.8 million for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. In addition, the Company is required to maintain certain levels of net income and cash flows, as defined in the agreement. All loans are due on demand by the bank, and accordingly, have been classified as current liabilities. In the event that Mr. Pagano no longer performs the duties of the President of Universal or the Vice President of RAL or American for any reason other than death or disability, the Company will be considered in default of its credit agreement with Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. unless a waiver is obtained.

7. Capital Stock
 
Each share of the Company’s convertible preferred stock is convertible into one share of the Company’s common stock. Convertible preferred stockholders will be entitled to a dividend, based upon a formula, when and if any dividends are declared on the Company’s common stock. The convertible preferred stock is redeemable, at the option of the Company, at $7.50 per share. The shares contain a liquidation preference provision entitling the holder to receive payments equaling $5.00 per share.
 
The voting rights of the common stockholders and preferred stockholders are based upon the number of shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding. There are currently less than 600,000 shares of convertible preferred stock outstanding. The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Board of Directors is to consist of one class of Directors if there are less than 600,000 shares Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. As of December 31, 2006, the number of preferred shares outstanding was 467,500; accordingly, the Board of Directors to be elected at the 2007 annual shareholders’ meeting will consist of one class of Directors elected by the holders of common stock and convertible preferred stock voting together as one class on a share for share basis.
 
At December 31, 2006, there were 906,500 shares of common stock reserved for conversion of preferred stock and for the exercise of vested stock options, convertible notes and warrants.
 
Messrs. Goldman, Korn, Pagano, Rozzi, and Mrs. Folger each signed a stock purchase and sale standstill agreement in which they agreed until May 31, 2008 not to purchase any stock without written consent from the Company and they will not sell any stock to anyone when such a sale would create a new 5% shareholder unless such person first enters into a similar standstill agreement.

9. Stock Option Plans
 
In June 1996, the Company adopted the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”) to grant options to key employees and other persons who render service (non-employee) to the Company. The ability to grant options under this plan expired on December 31, 2005.
 
At December 31, 2006, a total of 74,000 options were outstanding under the Company’s 1996 Stock Option Plan, which have expiration dates ranging from 2009 to 2013.
 
On September 29, 2006, the Company adopted the Colonial Commercial Corp. 2006 Stock Plan, (the “2006 Plan”). The 2006 Plan enables the Company to grant equity and equity-linked awards to our Directors, officers, employees and other persons who provide services to the Company. The 2006 Plan is intended to allow us to provide incentives that will (1) strengthen the desire of highly competent persons to provide services to us and (2) further stimulate their efforts on our behalf.
 
The following is a summary of certain provisions of the 2006 Plan.
 
Shares Available. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be delivered under the 2006 Plan is 1,000,000, subject to adjustment for certain specified changes to the Company's capital structure. As of December 31, 2006, 900,000 options were available to be issued.
 
Eligibility. All directors, officers and other employees and other persons who provide services to the Company are eligible to participate in the 2006 Plan.
 
Administration. The administrator of the 2006 Plan will be the board or any other committee which the board designates to serve as the administrator of the 2006 Plan.
 
Types of Awards. The types of awards that may be made under the 2006 Plan are stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, and stock units. The board or the committee that administers the 2006 Plan will fix the terms of each award, including, to the extent relevant, the following: (1) exercise price for options, base price for stock appreciation rights, and purchase price, if any, for restricted stock awards, (2) vesting requirements and other conditions to exercise, (3) term and termination, (4) effect, if any, of a change of control and (5) method of exercise and of any required payment by the recipient.

 
COLONIAL COMMERCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
 
Term of Plan. No award may be granted under the 2006 Plan after the close of business on the day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the 2006 Plan. However, all awards made prior to such time will remain in effect in accordance with their terms.
 
On December 6, 2006, 100,000 10-year options were granted to independent directors at the closing market price of that day, or $1.85, 40,000 options vested immediately and 20,000 options vest and become exercisable on each of the first three anniversaries of the grant date. If an independent director resigns, their unvested options are immediately forfeited and they have 60 days to exercise their vested options.
 
The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation method to estimate the fair value of stock options at the grant date. The Black-Scholes valuation model uses the option exercise price and the number of options expected to be exercised as well as assumptions related to the expected price volatility of the Company’s stock, the rate of return on risk-free investments, the period during which the options will be outstanding, and the expected dividend yield for the Company’s stock to estimate the fair value of the stock option on the grant date. The fair value of the stock options, which are subject to grading vesting, is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting life of the stock options.
 
The fair value of each option granted on December 6, 2006 under the 2006 Stock Plan was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and the following assumptions:
 
   
2006
 
Historical stock price volatility
   
160.50
%
Risk-free interest rate
   
4.44
%
Expected life (in years)
   
6.34
 
Dividend yield
   
0.00
 
 
The valuation assumptions were determined as follows:
 
Historical stock price volatility: The Company used the daily closing stock prices to calculate historical annualized volatility.
 
Risk-free interest rate: The Company bases the risk-free interest rate on the interest rate payable on U.S. Treasury securities in effect at the time of the grant for a period that is commensurate with the assumed expected option life.
 
Expected life: The expected life of the options represents the period of time options are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses historical data of previously issued options to estimate expected option life.
 
Dividend yield: The estimate for dividend yield is 0.00, because the Company has not historically paid, and does not intend for the foreseeable future to pay, a dividend.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company used the intrinsic method previously allowed under APB Opinion No. 25 to value options. The number of options outstanding under the variable pricing method as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 were 43,000 and 110,000, respectively, which caused the Company to incur additional stock-based compensation income (expense) of $74,450 and $(62,025) for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. As of January 1, 2006 all options outstanding were fully vested therefore the Company was not required to make a stock compensation expense entry under the rules of SFAS No. 123(R).
 
The Company did incur stock-based compensation expense of $53,412 and unearned compensation of $80,118 which is expected to be recognized over of period of three years as of December 31, 2006 under the modified prospective application method of SFAS No. 123(R) for options granted on December 6, 2006.
 
On January 22, 2007, a Director resigned and his 10,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of his options expire sixty days after his resignation. In addition, his 15,000 options that vest over three years were forfeited on his date of resignation. On January 2, 2007 an employee exercised 52,000 options.

10. Net Income Per Common Share
 
Basic net income per share is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share reflect, in periods in which they have a dilutive effect, the impact of common shares issuable upon exercise of stock options.

Universal was recently under examination for New York State income tax for the years 2003 through 2005. The State auditors have concluded that there will be no income tax adjustments related to this examination.
 
American recently closed a sales tax examination with an amount of $2,398 for additional taxes and interest due for the period of March 1, 2003 through May 31, 2006.
 
In addition, RAL is scheduled for examination for New York State sales tax for the period March 1, 2004 through February 28, 2007. The audit has not yet begun and the Company does not expect there to be significant exposure.
 
12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,” defines the fair value of a financial instrument as the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The carrying value of all financial instruments classified as current assets or liabilities is deemed to approximate fair value, with the exception of the notes payable, because of the short term nature of these instruments.
 
The fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities. The Company believes the fair value of long-term debt approximates the book value.

(d) Litigation
 
Universal Supply Group, Inc. is a New York corporation (“Universal”). On June 25, 1999, Universal acquired substantially all of the assets of Universal Supply Group, Inc., a New Jersey corporation, including its name, pursuant to the terms of a purchase agreement. The Company filed a copy of the purchase agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 1999 as Exhibit 10(g) on Form 10KSB, and the Company filed a copy of an amendment to the purchase agreement on July 9, 1999 as Exhibit 10(a)(ii) on Form 8-K. Subsequent to the sale, Universal Supply Group, Inc. (the selling corporation) formerly known as Universal Engineering Co., Inc., changed its name to Hilco, Inc. Hilco, Inc. acquired the assets of Amber Supply Co., Inc., formerly known as Amber Oil Burner Supply Co., Inc., in 1998, prior to Hilco’s sale of assets to Universal. Hilco, Inc. is hereinafter referred to as the “Predecessor.” The majority shareholders of Hilco, Inc. were John A. Hildebrandt and Paul Hildebrandt.
 
The Company understands that Predecessor and many other companies have been sued in the Superior Court of New Jersey (Middlesex County) by plaintiffs filing lawsuits alleging injury due to asbestos. Currently, there exist 93 plaintiffs in these lawsuits relating to alleged sales of asbestos products, or products containing asbestos, by the Predecessor. The Company never sold any asbestos related products.
 
Of the existing plaintiffs, seven filed actions in 2006, 15 filed actions in 2005, 44 filed actions in 2004, 24 filed actions in 2003, and three filed actions in 2002. There are 108 other plaintiffs that have had their actions dismissed and eight other plaintiffs that have settled as of December 31, 2006 for a total of $3,313,000. There has been no judgment against the Predecessor.
 
Our Universal subsidiary was named by 24 plaintiffs; of these, two filed actions in 1999, one filed an action in 2000, five filed actions in 2001, eleven filed actions in 2005 and five filed actions in 2006. Six plaintiffs naming Universal have had their actions dismissed and, of the total $3,313,000 of settled actions, two plaintiffs naming Universal have settled for $26,500. No money was paid by Universal in connection with any settlement. Following these dismissed and settled actions, there currently exist 16 plaintiffs that name Universal.
 
As set forth in more detail below, the Company has been indemnified against asbestos-based claims, and insurance companies are defending the interests of the Predecessor and the Company in these cases.

 
COLONIAL COMMERCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
 
Based on advice of counsel, the Company believes that none of the litigation that was brought against the Company’s Universal subsidiary through December 31, 2006 is material, and that the only material litigation that was brought against Predecessor through that date was Rhodes v. A.O. Smith Corporation, filed on April 26, 2004 in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Middlesex County, Docket Number MID-L-2979-04AS. The Company was advised that the Rhodes case was settled for $3,250,000 (“Settlement”) under an agreement reached in connection with a $10,000,000 jury verdict that was rendered on August 5, 2005. The Company was not a defendant in the Rhodes case.
 
On April 29, 2005, prior to the Rhodes case trial, the Predecessor filed a third party complaint against Sid Harvey Industries (“Third Party Complaint”) in an action demanding contributor payment in connection with the Settlement. Sid Harvey Industries moved successfully for summary judgment. The Predecessor filed an appeal as to the dismissal of Predecessor’s Third Party Complaint. In a decision dated December 29, 2006, the Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division, reversed the dismissal of Predecessor’s Third Party Complaint and remanded the matter for further proceedings as to Predecessor’s claim for contribution.
 
The Company believes that Rhodes differed from the other lawsuits in that plaintiff established that he contracted mesothelioma as a result of his occupational exposure to asbestos dust and fibers and that a predecessor of the Company was a major supplier of the asbestos containing products that allegedly caused his disease.
 
Indemnification
 
John A. Hildebrandt, Paul Hildebrandt and the Predecessor have jointly and severally agreed to indemnify our Universal subsidiary from and against any and all damages, liabilities and claims due to exposure to asbestos at any time prior to the June 25, 1999 closing of the purchase agreement referred to earlier. These agreements are set forth in the purchase agreement. Paul Hildebrandt, one of the indemnitors, was a Director of the Company from September 29, 2004 to January 28, 2005.
 
The indemnitors may use their own counsel to defend these claims. The indemnitors are not liable for any settlement effected without their consent. The indemnitors may settle and pay money claims without the consent of the Company. There is no indemnification unless claims aggregate $50,000; once this trigger point is reached, indemnification is required for all claims, including the first $50,000, but excluding claims of less than $10,000. The indemnification requirement survives at least until 30 days after the running of any relevant statutes of limitation.
 
The obligation of the indemnitors is joint and several, so that the Company can have recourse against any one or more of these indemnitors, whether or not any other indemnitor has previously defaulted on its obligation to us. There are no other limitations to our rights to indemnification.
 
Insurance
 
The assets that the Predecessor sold to us included its insurance policies and other agreements and contracts. The policies provide coverage for liability accruing during the periods for which premiums were paid. The Predecessor was formed in 1940. Copies of policies are available for each year beginning in 1970 and ending with the closing under the purchase agreement in 1999. Copies of policies for the period from 1940 to 1969 are not available.

 
COLONIAL COMMERCIAL CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Continued
 
Insurance companies acknowledge coverage for potential asbestos claims under certain of these policies. Insurance companies under additional policies have reserved their right to deny coverage but have continued to defend and indemnify the Predecessor and the Company under the contested policies.
 
There are periods during the years from 1940 to 1999 in which our Predecessor did not have coverage for potential asbestos claims. Subject to litigation, insurance companies may maintain that the existence of these periods’ results in coverage for only a portion of a particular injury that varies with the period during which there was asbestos coverage relating to the injury, and that the balance of any settlement or judgment is to be paid by the insured. To date, no insurance company has claimed any contribution for a gap in coverage except for a claim for $159.64 made by one insurance company to the Predecessor in 1995. The Predecessor asserted that it had no obligation to pay this amount and did not make any payment.
 
Insurance companies have to date defended us and the Predecessor, and have paid all settlement amounts and defense costs. Except for $159.64 referred to above, the insurance companies have not requested any payments from us or from the Predecessor.
 
Our Universal subsidiary has not engaged in the sale of asbestos products since its formation in 1997. Its product liability policies for all years since 1998 exclude asbestos claims.
 
General
 
Regardless of indemnification and insurance coverage, we do not in any event consider our Company to be liable for the asbestos-based lawsuits that name us or for any other claim that arises as a result of actions or omissions by Predecessor companies. We expressly disclaimed the assumption of any liabilities when we purchased the assets of the Predecessor. It is our opinion that the existing asbestos litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company. Nevertheless, we could be materially and adversely affected if we are held liable for substantial asbestos claims or if the Company incurs substantial legal or settlement costs. This material and adverse effect would occur if indemnitors fail to honor their indemnification agreements and insurance is not available either because policy limits are exceeded, or because insurance companies successfully claim limitations on their liabilities by reason of gaps in coverage or otherwise.
 
Since we do not regard as likely the potential payment of any asbestos-based claim, we have not accrued any balance for any period relating to asbestos claims, and we have not recorded any amount for asbestos claims for any period in any of our financial statements.
 
Other Litigation
 
The Company is involved in other litigation incidental to the operation of its business. The Company vigorously defends all matters in which the Company or its subsidiaries are named defendants and, for insurable losses, maintains significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments. Although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage or the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company does not believe the ultimate liability associated with any claims or litigation will have a material impact to its financial condition or results of operations.
 
(e) Standby Letters of Credit
 
The Company has standby letters of credit in the amount of $300,000 and $100,000, which expire on July 31, 2007 and September 1, 2007, respectively.
