Item 1 Financial Statements (continued) THE FLAMEMASTER CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) DECEMBER 31, 2000 Note 3: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: INVESTMENT IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES: The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No: 115 ("SFAS No: 115"), Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, effective January 1,1995. Management determines the appropriate classification of its Investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. Debt securities for which the Company does not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity are classified as available for sale, along with the Company's investment in equity securities. Securities available for sale are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in a separate component of shareholders' equity net of income taxes, until realized. At December 31, 2000 the Company had no investments that qualified as trading or held to maturity. The amortized cost of zero-coupon debt securities classified as available for sale is adjusted for accretion of discounts to maturity. Such amortization and interest are included in interest income. Realized gains and losses are included in other income or expense. The cost of securities sold is based on specific identification method. RECLASSIFICATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, various items of portfolio income, which were previously classified as "other (income), expenses, net" are classified as "interest and other income" in the condensed Statements of Income. Amounts reported for the prior quarters have been reclassified to conform to the quarter 2000 presentation.
