Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Line of Business

AmeraMex International, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated on May 29, 1990 under the laws of the state of Nevada. The Company sells, leases and rents new and refurbished heavy equipment primarily in the U.S. The Company operates under the name of Hamre Equipment.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Liquidity Considerations

At March 31, 2020, the Company had working capital of approximately $4.6 million. On May 1, 2020, the Company received a Paycheck Protection Program Loan in the amount of $228,442 to cover payroll and utility expenses during the Pandemic. The Company is following the government guidelines and tracking costs to insure 100% forgiveness of the loan. On April 21, 2020, the Company was approved and received a $10,000 advance on an SBA Loan for $2 million. We have not received the final breakdown on terms, but typically the loan is at 3.75% interest for a 30 year term with the first six (6) months of payments deferred. Funding on this loan is anticipated within the next two months. Finally, we received an increase in one of our equipment lines of credit from $500,000 to $1,050,000. Moving forward, we expect to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet our obligations, and we expect to continue to obtain financing for equipment purchases in the normal course of business. We believe that our expected cash flows from operations, together with our current credit facility, will be sufficient to operate in the normal course of business for next 12 months from the issuance date of these financial statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a pandemic, as a result of which the Company is subject to additional risks and uncertainties. In response to the pandemic, governments and organizations have taken preventative or protective actions, such as temporary closures of non-essential businesses and “shelter-at-home” guidelines for individuals. As a result, the global economy has been negatively affected, and the Company’s business has been negatively affected in a number of ways. The Company has had several large transactions that have been put on hold until the State of California is reopened. In addition, the Company has all sales, administrative and account employees working from home. Shop employees are practicing social distancing and we only allow one customer in the facility at a time. Most directly, a number of states and local governments have taken steps that have prohibited or curtailed the sale of equipment or curtailed construction activities during the pandemic. In some jurisdictions, shelter-at-home orders, or other orders related to the pandemic, impede equipment sales. The severity of the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company’s customers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. The Company’s future results of operations and liquidity could be adversely impacted by delays in payments of outstanding receivable amounts beyond normal payment terms. Given the dynamic nature of this situation, the Company cannot predict with absolute certainty, the impact of COVID-19 on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited interim financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, within the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

AMERAMEX INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

March 31, 2020

The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the audited financial statements and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented and of the financial condition as of the date of the interim balance sheet. The financial data and the other information disclosed in these notes to the interim financial statements related to the three-month periods are unaudited. Unaudited interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019 and notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions 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. It is possible that accounting estimates and assumptions may be material to the Company due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment involved. Significant estimates in these unaudited interim financial statements include the allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserve, valuation allowance for deferred taxes, and estimated useful life of property and equipment.

Line of Credit Issuance Costs

We capitalize and amortize direct issue costs incurred in connection with our line of credit arrangement. On or about March 30, 2019 (see Note 6), we incurred $245,000 in costs comprised of originations fees totaling approximately $180,000 and appraisal costs of approximately $65,000. These costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the debt. Included in Other Assets in the accompanying balance sheet at March 31, 2020 are unamortized loan fees of $157,223. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company amortized $20,417 and $2,726 in loan fees, respectively.

The Company has a line of credit with a finance company that provides for borrowing up to $500,000. The line of credit is secured by the equipment purchased and is interest free if paid within 180 days from finance date. After applicable free interest period interest calculates as follows; 30 day LIBOR plus 6.75% - rate after Free Period to Day 365, 30 day LIBOR plus 7.00% - Rate Day 366 to 720, 30 Day LIBOR plus 7.25% - Rate Day 721 to 1095, 30 Day LIBOR plus 12.00% Matured Rate Day 1096 and above. Each piece of equipment has it owns calculations based on date of purchase. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the amounts outstanding under this line of credit agreement were $345,575 with $154,425 available and $408,033 with $91,967 available, respectively. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $295 and $2,605, respectively. The agreement has no expiration date providing the Company does not default. See Note 13 for increase in facility.

On or about March 31, 2019, the Company entered into a line of credit with a finance company that provides for borrowing and refinancing up to $6.5 million, as amended The line of credit is secured by substantially all the Company assets, other than those specifically secured by an existing agreement and bears interest at a rate of 10% annum. The credit facility expires March 22, 2022. Interest is due monthly at a rate of 10%, per annum. Principal only becomes due and payable if the Company reaches the maximum balance under the credit facility, for which management does not expect to reach. If the maximum balance is reached, the principal becomes payable at 1.25% of the outstanding principal balance per month. The line of credit is secured by substantially all the Company assets, other than those specifically secured by an existing agreement. At March 31 2020 and December 31, 2019, the amount outstanding under this line of credit agreement was $5,300,840 with $1,199,160 available for purchases and $6,313,628 with $186,372 available, respectively.

See Note 8 for related party operating lease.

Note 13 – Subsequent Events

On April 21, 2020, the Company received a $10,000 advance on an SBA loan of $2 million dollars. We have not received the final terms, but we have been instructed that typically these notes are 30 year terms, interest at 3.75% per annum, with six (6) months of deferred payments. We currently do not have a monthly payment amount but are expecting funding within July 2020.

On May 1, 2020, the Company received a Paycheck Protection Program Loan in the amount of $228,442 to cover payroll and utility expenses during the Pandemic. The Company is following the government guidelines and tracking costs to insure 100% forgiveness of the loan.

On May 6, 2020, the Company was named in a suit filed in the State of Virginia by a manufacturer asking the court to hold the Company liable for the amount of our customer’s deposit the manufacturer erroneously wired to a bank in China after receiving fraudulent bank wiring instructions from a cloned email account. The deposit amount was $1,057,400. On May 13, 2020, the Company was named in a second suit filed in the State of Virginia by the customer demanding return of their deposit. Management is working on a settlement agreement. Management does not believe there will be a financial impact once agreement is reached.

On May 22, 2020, the limit on the line of credit with a finance company that provides for borrowing up to $500,000 was increased to $1,050,000 with all other terms remaining the same as stated in Note 6.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Reliance on Relief Order.

On May 6, 2020, we filed a current report on Form 8-K in compliance with and in reliance upon the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Order under Section 36 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Granting Exemptions From Specified Provisions of the Exchange Act and Certain Rules Thereunder dated March 4, 2020 (Release No. 34-88318) as modified and superseded by a new SEC order issued on March 25, 2020 (Release No. 34-88465) (collectively, the “Order”) to delay the filing of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 (the “Report”) due to circumstances related to the coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”). We are filing this 10-Q on or about June 29, 2020 within the time period prescribed by the Order. 

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements made in this Form 10-Q that are not historical or current facts are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements often can be identified by the use of terms such as “may,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “approximate” or “continue,” or the negative thereof. We intend that such forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbors for such statements. We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Any forward-looking statements represent management’s best judgment as to what may occur in the future. However, forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and important factors beyond our control that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from historical results of operations and events and those presently anticipated or projected. We disclaim any obligation subsequently to revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statement or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.

Recent Developments Related to the COVID-19 Outbreak

All of the disclosures set forth in Item 1 below should be read in the context of the recent COVID-19 related developments discussed immediately below.  All of the disclosures recited in “Recent Developments Related to the COVID-19 Outbreak” are as of the date of this filing.

The occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic may negatively affect our operations depending on the severity and longevity of the pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic is currently impacting countries, communities, supply chains and markets as well as the global financial markets. A pandemic typically results in social distancing, travel bans and quarantine, and this may limit access to our facilities, customers, management, support staff and professional advisors. These factors, in turn, may not only impact our operations, financial condition and demand for our goods and services but our overall ability to react timely to mitigate the impact of this event. Also, it may hamper our efforts to comply with our filing obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Depending on the severity and longevity of the COVID-19 pandemic, our business, customers, and shareholders may experience a significant negative impact. 

COVID-19 Update

AmeraMex has been approved by the Small Business Administration (SBA) for the following financial assistance:

AmeraMex is mandating a work-from-home policy for its sales, administrative, and accounting employees. Shop employees are busy servicing contracts with our essential customers and are often traveling to do so. They are practicing social distancing and we are only allowing one customer in the facility at a time. Our Company has worked out payment schedules with our customers in need of assistance and, in turn, has accepted all assistance offered by our vendors.

Overview of the Business

We sell, lease, and rent heavy equipment to companies within four industries: construction (light and infrastructure), shipping logistics, mining, and commercial farming. With customers in the United States, Canada, Latin America, Asia and Africa, we have over 30 years of experience in heavy equipment sales and service and inventories of top-of-the-line equipment from manufacturers such as Taylor Machine Works Inc. and Terex Heavy Equipment. We were originally incorporated as Hamre Equipment Company, Inc. in California on November 17, 1989. We merged into AmeraMex International, Inc., a Nevada corporation, on May 29, 1990.

We had revenue of $1,438,469 for the quarter ending March 31, 2020 as compared to revenue of $2,443,892 for the quarter ending March 31, 2019, a 41% decrease. Sales of Equipment and Other Revenues for the quarter ending March 31, 2020 were $912,315 and made up 63% of our Total Revenues. For the quarter ending March 31, 2019, Sales of Equipment and Other Revenues made up $1,770,053, or 72.4%, of Total Revenues. The remaining portion of Total Revenues, Rentals and Leases, for the respective periods were $526,154, or 37%, in 2020 and in 2019, Rentals and Leases made up 27.6% of Total Revenues and totaled $673,839. Sales of Equipment and Other Revenues saw a larger number for the quarter ending March 31, 2019 because we had a sale of equipment to a Mexico company totaling $500,000, none of which was included in March 31, 2020. Rentals and Leases decreased due to two long term rental contracts ending which had combined revenues in March 31, 2019 of $161,900, none of which were included in March 31, 2020.

We had costs of revenue of $994,258 for the quarter ending March 31, 2020 as compared to costs of $1,801,722 for the quarter ending March 31, 2019. Our costs decreased by $807,464, or 45%, while our revenues decreased by 41%. We experienced an increase in gross profit as a percentage of Sales of Equipment and Other Revenues from 88.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2019 to 88% as we sold more used equipment than new.

We experienced an increase in operating expenses with $357,356 in the quarter ending March 31, 2020 as compared to $285,850 in the quarter ending March 31, 2019. This is an increase of approximately 25%.

From first quarter 2019 to first quarter 2020, our Interest Expense decreased from $263,175 to $259,808. This decrease is due to the lower interest rates in debt used to finance our equipment.

We had a net loss of $128,079 for the quarter ending March 31, 2020 as compared to net loss of $282,618 for the first quarter ending March 31, 2019. In connection with the global pandemic, multiple equipment sales were put on hold until things return to normal. This delay resulted in a net loss for the 2020 first quarter. Please see Note 2 for more details.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have 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.

Seasonality

Our operating results are not affected by seasonality.

Inflation

Our business and operating results are not affected in any material way by inflation.

Critical Accounting Policies

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued Financial Reporting Release No. 60, “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies” suggesting that companies provide additional disclosure and commentary on their most critical accounting policies. In Financial Reporting Release No. 60, the Securities and Exchange Commission has defined the most critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and operating results and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. The nature of our business generally does not call for the preparation or use of estimates. Due to the fact that the Company does not have any operating business, we do not believe that we do not have any such critical accounting policies.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide information required by this Item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision of our President and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation (the “Evaluation”) of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2020, due to the presence of material weaknesses described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective.

There can be no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within our Company and our consolidated subsidiaries to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting for our Company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;

Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and

Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failure. Internal control over financial reporting can also be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.

We assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2020. In making this assessment, our management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (“COSO”) of the Treadway Commission’s Internal Control-Integrated Framework. As a result of this assessment, we have determined that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of March 31, 2020 with no material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting continuing to exist at March 31, 2020, because we have an independent audit committee of our board of directors which was established mid-2019 comprised of two independent directors and Chief Financial Officer.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance that the objectives of the system are met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of certain events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

An evaluation was performed under the supervision of our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, of whether any change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in the Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
