ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions under section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995. We use forward-looking statements in our description of our plans and objectives for future operations and assumptions underlying these plans and objectives. Forward-looking terminology includes the words "may", "expects", "believes", "anticipates", "intends", "forecasts", "projects", or similar terms, variations of such terms or the negative of such terms. These forward-looking statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to factors and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in such forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q to reflect any change in our expectations or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any forward-looking statement is based. Factors which could cause such results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements include those set forth under "Item. 1 Description of Business – Risk Factors" and elsewhere in or incorporated by reference into our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2015.      

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

REVENUE RECOGNITION

We recognize revenue from engineering services on a project or monthly basis and contract manufacturing revenues are recognized after shipment of completed products. For the sale of our electronic products, revenues are recognized when they are shipped to the purchaser. Shipping and handling charges and costs are de minimis. We offer a limited 90 day warranty on our electronics products and a limited 5 year warranty on our electronic controllers for spas and hot tubs. Historically, the amount of warranty revenue included in the sales of our electronic products have been de minimis. We have no other post shipment obligations and sales returns have been de minimis.

Revenues from sales of chemical products are recognized when products are shipped to end users.  Shipments to distributors are recognized as sales where no right of return exists.

USE OF ESTIMATES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to reserves, deferred tax assets and valuation allowance, impairment of long-lived assets, fair value of equity instruments issued to consultants for services and fair value of equity instruments issued to others. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions; however, we believe that our estimates, including those for the above described items, are reasonable.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

ADM is a corporation that was organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 24, 1969. During the six months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, our operations are conducted through ADM Tronics Unlimited, Inc. ("ADM") and its subsidiary, Sonotron Medical Systems, Inc. ("SMI"). In addition, the Company owns a minority interest in Montvale Technologies, Inc. (formerly known as Ivivi Technologies, Inc.) ("ITI"), which until October 18, 2006 was operated as a subsidiary of the Company. ITI was deconsolidated as of October 18, 2006 upon the consummation of ITI's initial public offering.

We are a technology-based engineering and manufacturing company with diversified lines of products in the following four areas: (1) electronic products for numerous industries, including therapeutic non-invasive electronic medical devices and electronic controllers for spas and hot tubs, (2) environmentally safe chemical products for industrial use, (3) cosmetic and topical dermatological products and (4) antistatic paint and coatings products.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AS COMPARED TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 

For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2015            

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased by $504,288, or 67% due to an increase in engineering revenue of $575,515 coupled with an increase in sales in our chemical division of $44,602 offset by a decrease in our electronic segment in the amount of $115,829. The increase in engineering services is primarily the result of several projects for one customer.

Revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2015 increased by $936,542 or 68% due to an increase in engineering revenue of $1,005,965 coupled with an increase in sales in our chemical division of $113,387 offset by a decrease in our electronic segment in the amount of $182,810. The increase in engineering services is primarily the result of several projects for one customer.

Gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2015 increased by $272,477. Gross profit for the six months ended September 30, 2014 increased by $742,074. The increase in gross profit in the electronics and chemical segments resulted from changes in the mix of products sold. The increase in gross profit in the engineering segment resulted from better utilization of labor due to the increased revenue from new projects from one customer.

We are highly dependent upon certain customers. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2015 one customer accounted for 42% of our revenue. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2014, one customer accounted for 18% of our revenue. The complete loss of or significant reduction in business from, or a material adverse change in the financial condition of any of our customers could cause a material and adverse change in our revenues and operating results.

Income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2015 decreased by $476,701 due to stock based compensation of $598,699. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $153,685 or 48%, from $321,501 to $475,186 mainly due to an increase of $28,884 wages, a $23,560 increase in commission and royalty fees, $39,860 in consulting fees, $54,383 in engineering fees and $13,437 in insurance.

Income from operations for the six months ended September 30, 2015 decreased by $77,890. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $196,714 or 34% from $573,697 to $770,411 mainly due to an increase of $40,021 in wages, $63,944 in commission and royalty fees and an increase in contract services of $37,974.

During the six months ended September 30, 2015, we had $598,699 of stock based compensation related to 3,000,000 options granted to employees. There was no stock based compensation for the six months ended September 30, 2014.

Interest income decreased $1,077 to $248 in the three months ended September 30, 2015, from $1,325 in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and interest income decreased $1,803 to $569 in the six months ended September 30, 2015 from $2,372 in the six months ended September 30, 2014 due to decreased funds invested in a money market account.

The foregoing resulted in net income for the three months ended September 30, 2015 of $508,503, or $0.01 per share, compared to net income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 of $129,371 or $0.00 per share.

The net income for the six months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $942,727 or $0.01 per share and $165,198 or $0.00 per share, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At September 30, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $942,143 as compared to $216,395 at March 31, 2015. The $725,748 increase was primarily the result of cash provided in operations during the six month period in the amount of $439,097 and cash provided in financing activities in the amount of $287,000 offset by cash used in investing activities of $349. Our cash will continue to be used for increased marketing costs, and the related administrative expenses, in order to attempt to increase our revenue.  We expect to have enough cash to fund operations for the next twelve months. Our note payable of $108,966 at September 30, 2015, is secured and collateralized by restricted cash of $232,874. This note bears an interest rate of 2% above the rate of the savings account. The interest rate at September 30, 2015 was 2.15% and is payable upon demand.

Future Sources of Liquidity:

We expect that growth in profitable revenues and continued focus on new customers will enable us to continue to generate cash flows from operating activities during fiscal 2016.

If we do not generate sufficient cash from operations, face unanticipated cash needs or do not otherwise have sufficient cash, we may need to consider the sale of certain intellectual property which does not support the Company’s operations. In addition, we have the ability to reduce certain expenses depending on the level of business operation.

Based on current expectations, we believe that our existing cash of $942,143 as of September 30, 2015 and other potential sources of cash will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements. Our ability to meet these requirements will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future, which is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.

OPERATING ACTIVITIES 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $439,097 for the six months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $85,040 for the six months ended September 30, 2014.  The cash provided during the six months ended September 30, 2015 was primarily due to net income of $942,727, stock based compensation of $598,699, deferred income tax of $857,000 and decreases in operating liabilities of $14,759, and net operating assets of $232,170.   

INVESTING ACTIVITIES

Cash was used in investing activities in the amount of $349 from deposits in the restricted cash in the amount of $349.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

For the six months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, net cash provided (used) in financing activities were $287,000 and $(7,000), respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, $13,000 and $7,000 respectively, was used for repayments on a note from a commercial bank to facilitate our acquisition of Action Industries Unlimited, Inc. (AIU).

Additionally, during the six months ended September 30, 2015, $300,000 was provided for through the sale of common stock to a major customer.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and our investment in ITI. We have no control over the market value of our investment in ITI.

We maintain cash and cash equivalents with FDIC insured financial institutions.

Our sales are materially dependent on a small group of customers, as noted in Note 4 of our condensed consolidated financial statements. We monitor our credit risk associated with our receivables on a routine basis. We also maintain credit controls for evaluating and granting customer credit.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company's management, including the Company's principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Ru1e 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"). Based upon their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, there were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting which materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.

The determination that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2015 are a result of:

a. Deficiencies in Internal Control Structure Environment. During the current year, the Company’s focus was on expanding their customer base to initiate revenue production.  

b. Inadequate staffing and supervision within the accounting operations of our company. The relatively small number of employees who are responsible for accounting functions prevents the Company from segregating duties within its internal control system. The inadequate segregation of duties is a weakness because it could lead to the untimely identification and resolution of accounting and disclosure matters or could lead to a failure to perform timely and effective reviews.  The Company’s plan is to expand its accounting operations as the business of the Company expands.

The Company believes that the financial statements fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015 and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, and cash flows for the three and six months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, notwithstanding the material weaknesses we identified. 

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter to which this report relates that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
