Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization,
Ownership and Business
Hammonds
Industries, Inc., f/k/a International American Technologies, Inc. (the
"Company"), is a 48.1% owned subsidiary of American International Industries,
Inc.
In 2005,
the Company, through its parent company, acquired 51% of the capital stock of
Hammonds Technical Services, Inc. See Note 2 “Acquisition” below. Hammonds
Technical Services, Inc. and Hammonds Fuel Additives, Inc. were separate
privately-owned Texas companies. In connection with the 2005 acquisition by the
Company, Hammonds Fuel Additives was merged into Hammonds Technical Services. In
April 2005 and January 2006, respectively, Hammonds Fuel Additives and Hammonds
Water Treatment Systems, respectively, were reincorporated as separate entities
from Hammonds Technical Services, and all three entities are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of the Company. On August 1, 2006, the Company acquired the 49%
minority interest of Hammonds Technical Services, Inc., Hammonds Fuel Additives,
Inc., and Hammonds Water Treatment Systems, Inc. in consideration for the
issuance of 16,000,000 restricted shares of common stock, valued at a price of
$0.25 per share, the price of the Company's common stock at the date of the
transaction. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 100% of each of
the Hammonds subsidiaries.
2006 Private Financing
Transactions
On August
8, 2006, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with
Vision Opportunity Fund Limited ("VOMF"), an institutional investor, pursuant to
which the Company sold VOMF 833,333 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock for $1,500,000 and issued a Series A Warrant exercisable for a period of 5
years to purchase 8,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.18 per
share and a Series B Warrant exercisable for a period of 2 years to
purchase an additional 8,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.18
per share.
On
September 29, 2006, the Company entered into another stock purchase
agreement with VOMF pursuant to which the Company sold 833,333 shares of Series
B Convertible Preferred Stock for $1,500,000 and issued a Series C Warrant
exercisable for a period of 5 years to purchase 8,333,333 shares of the
Company’s common stock at $0.50 per share.
The stock
purchase agreements in the 2006 Private Financing Transactions provide
that each share of Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is
convertible into 10 shares of Hammonds' common stock.
2007
Private Financing Transactions
In
connection with the agreement of VOMF to exercise up to 4,000,000 Series C
Warrants in March 2007, the Company reduced the exercise price of the Series C
Warrants from $0.50 per share to $0.18 per share through December 31, 2007,
following which the exercise price reverts to $0.50 per share. On March 27,
2007, VOMF exercised 3,970,400 Series C Warrants at a price of $0.18 per share
with net proceeds of $694,672 to the Company.
On
September 20, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with VOMF
pursuant to which the Series A, B and C Warrants were amended to: (i)
adjust the exercise price of all of the Warrants to $0.10; and
(ii) provide for the issuance of a total of 2,102,960 shares of the
Company's newly authorized Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in lieu of
21,029,599 shares of common stock. On September 21, 2007, VOMF delivered a
notice of exercise of all 21,029,599 Series A, B and C Warrants at an exercise
price of $0.10 per warrant, from which the Company received net proceeds of
$981,162 and VOMF cancelled Hammonds’ short-term promissory note payable in the
amount of $1,000,000, representing a loan made by VOMF to the Company on August
17, 2007.
In total,
the Company has received approximately $5.4 million from the 2006 and 2007 VOMF
Private Financing Transactions. The material terms of these preferred
stock issuances are included in note 9 to the consolidated financial
statements. If the 833,333 shares of Series A Preferred Stock,
833,333 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, and 2,102,960 of Series C Preferred
Stock issued to VOMF are converted into shares of common, we would be required
to issue an additional 37,696,260 shares of common stock.
Principles of Consolidation
The
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries: Hammond Technical Services, Inc., Hammonds Fuel
Additives, Inc., and Hammonds Water Treatment Systems, Inc. In accordance with
FIN 46(r), American International Industries, Inc., our parent, consolidates
Hammonds even though its ownership is less than 51%, because the parent appoints
the members of Hammonds’ board of directors. Since the Company is incurring
losses and the minority interest has no recorded common stock equity value, the
parent recognizes 100% of the Company’s losses. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Presentation
of certain amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2007 have been
reclassified to conform to the presentations for the three months ended March
31, 2008.
Cash
and Cash-Equivalents
The
Company considers cash and cash-equivalents to include cash on hand and demand
deposits with banks with an original maturity of three months or
less.
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable consist primarily of trade receivables, net of a valuation allowance
for doubtful accounts.
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts
The
Company extends credit to customers and other parties in the normal course of
business. The Company regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for
estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the
level of established reserves, the Company makes judgments regarding its
customers' ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors.
As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or
additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for
doubtful accounts may be required.
Inventories
Inventories
are valued at the lower-of-cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis. The
Company assesses the reliability of its inventories based upon specific usage
and future utility. A charge to results of operations is taken when factors that
would result in a need for a reduction in the valuation, such as excess or
obsolete inventory, are noted.
Property,
Plant, Equipment, Depreciation, Amortization and Long Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets include:
Property,
Plant and equipment – Assets acquired in the normal course of business are
recorded at original cost and may be adjusted for any additional significant
improvements after purchase. We depreciate the cost evenly over the assets’
estimated useful lives. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of the assets disposed
of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, with
any resulting gain or loss being recognized as a component of other income or
expense. As required by SFAS No. 141, the Company has recorded the acquisition
of Hammonds using the purchase method of accounting with the purchase price
allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their respective
estimated fair values at the acquisition date. For more information on the
acquisition of Hammonds, see note 2.
Identifiable
intangible assets – These assets are recorded at acquisition cost. Intangible
assets with finite lives are amortized evenly over their estimated useful
lives.
The
Company reviews long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and
amortizable intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in
business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be
fully recoverable. The Company performs undiscounted operating cash flow
analyses to determine if impairment exists. For purposes of recognition and
measurement of an impairment for assets held for use, the Company groups assets
and liabilities at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately
identified. If an impairment is determined to exist, any related impairment loss
is calculated based on fair value. Impairment losses on assets to be disposed
of, if any, are based on the estimated proceeds to be received, less costs of
disposal.
During
April, 2005 the Company acquired Hammonds Technical Services, Inc. for a
purchase price of approximately $2,455,700 (See Note 2). The operations of
the Hammonds companies are included in the consolidated statements of operations
from date of acquisition.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
is recognized when the earning process is completed, the risks and rewards of
ownership have transferred to the customer, which is generally the same day as
delivery or shipment of the product, the price to the buyer is fixed or
determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The
Hammonds Companies have purchase orders for all sales, of which many of the
items are requested to be container shipped and shipped directly to the end
users. All sales are recorded when the inventory items are shipped.
Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are incurred as a result
of a revenue transaction are not included in revenues. The Company
has no significant sales returns or allowances.
Income
Taxes
The
Company is a taxable entity and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities
for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured
using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences
reverse. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in
tax rates is recognized in income in the year that includes the enactment date
of the rate change. A valuation allowance is used to reduce deferred tax assets
to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Interest and
penalties associated with income taxes are included in selling, general and
administrative expense.
Earnings
(Loss) Per Share
The basic
net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net earnings
(loss) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during a period.
Diluted net earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing the net
earnings (loss), adjusted on an as if converted basis, by the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive
securities.
Management's
Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments using available
market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However,
considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the
estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the Company estimates of fair value are
not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a
current market exchange. The use of different market assumption and/or
estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts. The interest rates payable by the Company on its notes payable
approximate market rates. The Company believes that the fair value of its
financial instruments comprising accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts
payable, and notes payable approximate their carrying amounts.
Investments
in the Stock of our Parent
Typically,
the Company does not invest in the stock of our parent. However, in
February 2007, the Company paid $100,000 for an option to buy 104,398 shares of
American International Industries, Inc. stock for $5.00 per share from a former
Hammonds' minority shareholder as part of a lawsuit settlement. The Company
estimated the fair value of this stock option at December 31, 2007, by using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This option expired in February
2008. For more information, see note 3.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company sometimes grants shares of stock for goods and services and in
conjunction with certain agreements. These grants are accounted for under FASB
Statement No. 123R, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" based on the grant
date fair values.
New
Standards Implemented
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for
Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 115,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November
15, 2007. This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial
instruments and certain other items at fair value. This statement also
establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate
comparisons between entities that choose different measurement attributes for
similar types of assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains and losses on items
for which the fair value option is elected would be reported in
earnings.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, "Business Combinations".
SFAS 141R requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to record
all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition-date
fair values, changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
arising from contingencies, changes the recognition and measurement of
contingent consideration, and requires the expensing of acquisition-related
costs as incurred. SFAS 141R also requires additional disclosure of
information surrounding a business combination, such that users of the entity's
financial statements can fully understand the nature and financial impact of the
business combination. SFAS 141R applies prospectively to business
combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the
first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An
entity may not apply it before that date.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements-and Amendment of ARB No. 51.” SFAS 160
establishes accounting and reporting standards pertaining to ownership interests
in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of net income
attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a
parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of any retained noncontrolling
equity investment when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. This statement also
establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish
between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling
owners. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December
15, 2008.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures
about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB
Statement No. 133." This
Statement requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging
activities, including (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b)
how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS
No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), and its related
interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items
affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.
SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and
interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008.
Management
has reviewed these new standards and believes that they have no impact on the
financial statements of the Company at this time; however, they may apply in the
future.
2)
Acquisition
On
February 28, 2005, the Company acquired 51% of the capital stock of Hammonds
Technical Services, Inc., a privately-owned Texas corporation, in consideration
for the Company or its parent, American International Industries, Inc.,
providing: (i) $998,300 in cash to Hammonds for working capital; (ii) a secured
revolving long-term line of credit in the amount of $2,000,000; and
(iii)American International Industries, Inc. issuing 145,000 restricted shares
of common stock to the Company in consideration for a $1,450,000 promissory
note. The value of the stock at $10.00 per share was guaranteed. The sellers of
51% of Hammonds and Mr. Daniel Dror entered into a stock repurchase agreement as
of April 28, 2005, where the sellers agreed to sell the 145,000 shares to Mr.
Daniel Dror for $10.00 per share through the third anniversary of the effective
date of the agreement. These restricted shares were exchanged for two minority
equity interests in Hammonds owned by third parties, which minority interests
were canceled. The total purchase price to acquire the 51% in Hammonds was
$2,455,700 representing cash payments of $825,000, 145,000 shares of the
parent’s restricted common stock valued at $1,450,000 and the assumption of a
note payable to one of the former shareholders in the amount of $173,300 and
liabilities in excess of assets in the amount of $7,400. Pursuant to the
Agreement, which became effective on April 28, 2005, Hammonds became a
majority-owned subsidiary of the Registrant. In 2006, Hammonds Technical
Services was separated into three separate entities, Hammonds Technical
Services, Inc., Hammonds Fuel Additives, Inc., and Hammonds Water Treatment
Systems, Inc.
Prior to
the acquisition, Hammonds was two separate legal entities, Hammonds Technical
Services, Inc. and Hammonds Fuel Additives, Inc. (collectively "Hammonds").
Hammonds manufactures engineered products and chemicals that serve multiple
segments of the fuels distribution, water treatment and utility vehicle
industries. Hammonds' products are marketed by a worldwide network of
distributors, manufacturers' representatives and original equipment
manufacturers. On February 28, 2005, Hammond Fuels Additives, Inc. was merged
into Hammonds Technical Services, Inc.
As
required by SFAS No. 141, the Company has recorded the acquisition using the
purchase method of accounting with the purchase price allocated to the acquired
assets and liabilities based on their respective estimated fair values at the
acquisition date. The purchase price of $2,455,700 had been allocated at

Trading Securities
In
February 2007, the Company paid $100,000 for an option to buy 104,398 shares of
American International Industries, Inc. stock for $5.00 per share from a former
Hammonds' minority shareholder as part of a lawsuit settlement. The Company
estimated the fair value of this stock option at December 31, 2007, by using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions as follows:

This option expired in February 2008, resulting in a realized loss of $100,000
and a reversal of the previously recorded unrealized loss of $71,686. The
net loss resulting from this transaction for the first quarter of $28,314
is included in other income (expense).

On August
1, 2006, the Company acquired the 49% minority interest of Hammonds Technical
Services, Inc., Hammonds Fuel Additives, Inc., and Hammonds Water Treatment
Systems, Inc. owned by Carl Hammonds, in consideration for the issuance of
16,000,000 restricted shares of common stock at a price of $0.25 a share. The
additional cost of $4,000,000 has been allocated to patents, trademarks, and
sole source contract for the additive injection system and is being amortized in
a manner equivalent to the amortization used on the intangible assets acquired
in the initial purchase of 51% of Hammonds. Additionally, the
Company incurred costs related to the securing of additional patents
totaling $26,393 in 2006, $75,718 during the year ended December 31, 2007 and
$9,978 during the three months ended March 31, 2008. The following table

Preferred Stock
In August
and September 2006, the Company sold to VOMF 833,333 shares of Series A
Preferred Stock and 833,333 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, respectively
(the “2006 Private Financing Transactions”). In connection with the sale of the
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company issued VOMF: (i) Series A
Warrants to purchase 8,333,333 shares of common stock at $0.18 per share,
expiring in August 2011; and (ii) Series B Warrants to purchase an additional
8,333,333 shares of common stock at $0.18 per share, expiring in August 2007. In
connection with the sale of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the
Company issued VOMF: (i) Series C Warrants to purchase an additional 8,333,333
shares of common stock at $0.50 per share, expiring on September 29, 2011; and
(ii) the Company agreed to extend the expiration dates on the Series B Warrants
issued in the 2006 Private Financing Transactions from August 2007 to August
2008.
Each
share of Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into
ten shares of the Company's common stock. The Company received net proceeds of
approximately $2,710,120 from the sale of Series A and Series B Preferred
Stock.
On
September 20, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with VOMF
pursuant to which the Company and VOMF agreed to the amendment of the Series A,
B and C Warrants to: (i) adjust the exercise price of all of the Warrants
to $0.10; and (ii) provide for the issuance of a total of 2,102,960 shares of
the Company's newly authorized Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in lieu of
21,029,599 shares of common stock. On September 21, 2007, VOMF delivered a
notice of exercise of all 21,029,599 Series A, B and C Warrants at an exercise
price of $0.10 per warrant from which the Company received net proceeds of
$981,162 and VOMF cancelled a short-term promissory note in the amount of
$1,000,000, representing a loan made by VOMF to the Company on August 17,
2007. As a result of this agreement, there are no warrants outstanding
related to the Series A, B and C Convertible Preferred Stock.
The
Company reviewed the following accounting standards to determine the appropriate
accounting for these issuances:
- SFAS
No. 133: Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
-
SFAS No. 150: Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics
of Both Liabilities and Equity
-
EITF 00-19: Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and
Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock
-
EITF 98-5: Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion
Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios
-
EITF 00-27: Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible
Instruments
-
EITF Topic D-98: Classification and Measurement of Redeemable
Securities
-
ASR No. 268: Redeemable Preferred Stocks
We
concluded that all components of these issuances should be classified as equity,
because the only way for the value of the conversion feature to be realized
is through the issuance of shares. The Company has sufficient authorized and
unissued shares available to settle the contracts after considering all other
commitments that may require the issuance of stock.
We valued
the warrants using the Black-Scholes model and allocated the
proceeds from the preferred share issuances based on the relative fair values of
the securities issued.
The
Company determined that a beneficial conversion feature exists for the Series A,
B and C Convertible Preferred Stock issuances. Based on our review of the
"Emerging Issues Task Force" EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities
with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion
Ratios, and EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible
Instruments, the amount of proceeds allocated to the Series A and Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock should be assigned to the embedded conversion
feature with a corresponding amount recorded as a "deemed dividend" to the
preferred shareholders. This is based on paragraph 6 of EITF 98-5, which states
that "the discount assigned to the beneficial conversion feature is limited to
the amount of the proceeds allocated to the convertible
instrument."
We
allocated the following amounts to the embedded conversion feature and recorded
a deemed dividend to the preferred shareholders:

On July
25, 2007, the Company and VOMF entered into an agreement pursuant to which VOMF
waived the cash dividends of $150,425 on the Series A and Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock accrued from August and September 2006, respectively, through
September 30, 2007. Additionally, VOMF agreed that future accrued dividends may
be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash or in restricted shares of the
Company’s common stock. The number of shares of common stock to be issued as
payment of accrued and unpaid dividends shall be determined by dividing (i) the
total amount of accrued and unpaid dividends to be converted into common stock
by (ii) eighty percent (80%) of the average of the VWAP for the twenty (20)
Trading Days immediately preceding the dividend payment date. The term "VWAP"
means, for any date, (i) the daily volume weighted average price of the common
stock for such date on the OTC Bulletin Board as reported by Bloomberg Financial
L.P. (based on a trading day from 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time to 4:02 p.m. Eastern
Time); (ii) if the common stock is not then listed or quoted on the OTC Bulletin
Board and if prices for the common stock are then reported in the "Pink Sheets"
published by the Pink Sheets, LLC (or a similar organization or agency
succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per
share of the common stock so reported; or (iii) in all other cases, the fair
market value of a share of common stock as determined by an independent
appraiser selected in good faith by the Investor and reasonably acceptable to
the Company.
(10)
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Companies to credit risk are primarily
accounts receivable – trade and notes receivable. The Company grants credit to
customers throughout the United States. Generally, the Companies do not require
collateral or other security to support customer receivables. During the year
three months ended March 31, 2008, Hammonds Water Treatment Systems (HWT) had
one customer that represented 29% of total Hammonds' sales.
(11)
Income Taxes
The
provision for income taxes as of March 31, 2008 and 2007 consists of the

The tax
provision differs from amounts that would be calculated by applying federal
statutory rates to income before income taxes primarily because:
- no tax
benefits have been recorded for nondeductible expenses totaling $9,380;
and
- the
valuation allowance for deferred tax assets increased by $268,321.
The

Segment Information
The
Company has three reportable segments: Hammonds Technical Services, Hammonds
Fuel Additives, and Hammonds Water Treatment Systems (collectively "Hammonds"). Hammonds
manufactures engineered products and chemicals that serve multiple segments of
the fuels distribution, water treatment and utility vehicle industries.
Hammonds' products are marketed by a worldwide network of distributors,
manufacturers' representatives and original equipment manufacturers. The
corporate overhead includes the Company's investment holdings, including
financing current operations and expansion of its current holdings, as well as
evaluating the feasibility of entering into additional businesses.
The
accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performances
based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes, not including
nonrecurring gains and losses and foreign exchange gains and
losses.
The
Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different
technology and marketing strategies.
The
Company's areas of operations are principally in the United States. No single
foreign country or geographic area is significant to the consolidated financial
statements.

Related Party Transactions and Economic Dependence
The
Company has been and continues to be dependent upon the funding from its parent,
American International Industries, Inc. At March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
the Company owed the parent $592,063 and $594,640,
respectively. Interest on the balance owed to the parent is payable
monthly at a rate of 6% per year.
(16)
Subsequent Events
On April
16, 2008, the board of directors of American International Industries, Inc.
(AMIN), the Company's parent, declared a special dividend of shares of
common stock of the Company to AMIN shareholders. AMIN shareholders of
record as of the close of business on Monday, May 12, 2008 will be issued one
share of the Company's common stock (free-trading to non-affiliates) for each
share of AMIN common stock owned and held on the record date. According
to the announcement of the special dividend, the shares of the Company's common
stock should be issued on or about Tuesday, August 12, 2008. On May
7, 2008, AMIN announced that the record date for the special dividend had to be
postponed and would be rescheduled. After the
distribution of the special dividend of approximately 7.1 million shares, AMIN's
ownership will be approximately 34%. AMIN will continue to consolidate
Hammonds although its ownership is less than 51%, because it appoints the
members of Hammonds' board of directors.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
As used
in this Quarterly Report, the terms "we", "us", "our" and the
"Company" means Hammonds Industries, Inc., formerly International
American Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries,
Hammonds Technical Services, Inc., Hammonds Fuel Services, Inc. and Hammonds
Water Treatment Systems, Inc. (collectively, "Hammonds"). To the extent that we
make any forward-looking statements in the "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this
Quarterly Report, we emphasize that forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties and our actual results may differ materially from those expressed
or implied by our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements in
this Quarterly Report reflect our current views about future events and are
based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Generally,
forward-looking statements include phrases with words such as "expect", "anticipate", "intend",
"plan", "believe", "seek", "estimate" and similar expressions to identify
forward-looking statements.
Overview
Hammonds
Industries, Inc., a Nevada corporation, is publicly traded on the OTCBB: Symbol
"HMDI". The Company was incorporated on August 18, 1986 and is a 48.1% owned
subsidiary of American International Industries, Inc., NasdaqCM: AMIN. AMIN
consolidates Hammonds even though its ownership is less than 51%, because the
AMIN appoints the members of Hammonds’ board of directors. Since Hammonds is
incurring losses and the minority interest has no recorded common stock equity
value, AMIN recognizes 100% of Hammonds’ losses. AMIN’s ownership percentage
will be diluted in the event of the conversion by Vision Opportunity Fund
Limited (VOMF) of their shares of Hammonds' Series A, B and C Convertible
Preferred Stock into shares of Hammonds' common stock. See the discussion below
under "2006 Private Financing Transactions" and "2007 Private Financing
Transactions". Further,
AMIN’s equity interest will be reduced to 34% upon the completion of the special
dividend by AMIN of the Company’s shares, which is presently scheduled
to commence in August 2008.
In 2005,
the Company, through its parent company, acquired 51% of the capital stock of
Hammonds Technical Services, Inc. See Note 2 “Acquisition”. Hammonds Technical
Services, Inc. and Hammonds Fuel Additives, Inc. were separate privately-owned
Texas companies. In connection with the 2005 acquisition by the Company,
Hammonds Fuel Additives was merged into Hammonds Technical Services. In April
2005 and January 2006, respectively, Hammonds Fuel Additives and Hammonds Water
Treatment Systems, respectively, were reincorporated as separate entities from
Hammonds Technical Services, and all three entities are wholly-owned
subsidiaries of the Company. On August 1, 2006, the Company acquired the 49%
minority interest of Hammonds Technical Services, Inc., Hammonds Fuel Additives,
Inc., and Hammonds Water Treatment Systems, Inc. in consideration for the
issuance of 16,000,000 restricted shares of common stock, valued at a price of
$0.25 per share, the price of the Company's common stock at the date of the
transaction. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 100% of each of
the Hammonds subsidiaries.
2006
Private Financing Transactions
On August
8, 2006, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Vision
Opportunity Fund Limited ("VOMF"), an institutional investor, pursuant to which
the Company sold VOMF 833,333 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for
$1,500,000 and issued a Series A Warrant exercisable for a period of 5 years to
purchase 8,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.18 per share and a
Series B Warrant exercisable for a period of 2 years to purchase an additional
8,333,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.18 per share.
On
September 29, 2006, the Company entered into another stock purchase agreement
with VOMF pursuant to which the Company sold 833,333 shares of Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock for $1,500,000 and issued a Series C Warrant
exercisable for a period of 5 years to purchase 8,333,333 shares of the
Company’s common stock at $0.50 per share.
The stock
purchase agreements in the 2006 Private Financing Transactions provide that each
share of Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into
10 shares of Hammonds' common stock.
2007
Private Financing Transactions
In
connection with the agreement of VOMF to exercise up to 4,000,000 Series C
Warrants in March 2007, the Company reduced the exercise price of the Series C
Warrants from $0.50 per share to $0.18 per share through December 31, 2007,
following which the exercise price reverts to $0.50 per share. On March 27,
2007, VOMF exercised 3,970,400 Series C Warrants at a price of $0.18 per share
with net proceeds of $694,672 to the Company.
On
September 20, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with VOMF pursuant to
which the Series A, B and C Warrants were amended to: (i) adjust the exercise
price of all of the Warrants to $0.10; and (ii) provide for the issuance of a
total of 2,102,960 shares of the Company's newly authorized Series C Convertible
Preferred Stock in lieu of 21,029,599 shares of common stock. On September 21,
2007, VOMF delivered a notice of exercise of all 21,029,599 Series A, B and C
Warrants at an exercise price of $0.10 per warrant, from which the Company
received net proceeds of $981,162 and VOMF cancelled Hammonds’ short-term
promissory note payable in the amount of $1,000,000, representing a loan made by
VOMF to the Company on August 17, 2007.
In total,
the Company has received approximately $5.4 million from the 2006 and 2007 VOMF
Private Financing Transactions. The material terms of these preferred stock
issuances are included in note 9 to the consolidated financial
statements.
The
condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations and
comprehensive income, and cash flow included herein are unaudited, except for

Results of
Operations
Three
Months Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31,
2006
The
following is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, our unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements, and related notes, as of and for
the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
Revenues. Hammonds revenues
for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $2,205,157, compared to
$1,619,399 for the three months ended March 31, 2007, representing an increase
of $585,758, or 36%. The increase in revenues was due to higher
demand for Hammonds Water Treatment products and increased sales of Hammonds
Technical Services’ transport mounted injection systems and Hammonds’
line of Omni Directional Vehicles (ODVs®). Hammonds Water Treatment
revenues increased by $120,779, or 18%, and Hammonds Technical Services revenues
increased by $501,389, or 77%. In
addition, Hammonds projected backlog of orders is $4.2 million as of March 31,
2008. The backlog is principally comprised of orders for injectors and
skids.
Cost of Sales. Cost of
sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $1,764,652, or 80% of
revenues, compared to $1,465,241, or 90% of revenues, for the same
period of the prior year. Costs of
sales are anticipated to continue to decrease during 2008 as a percentage of
revenues, as a result of improved absorption of fixed costs over an increasing
revenue base and manufacturing efficiencies resulting from new, more efficient
equipment and production techniques.
Selling and Administrative.
Selling and administrative expenses increased to $1,127,100, or 51% of revenues,
for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $864,719, or 53% of
revenues, for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The increase was
primarily due to expenses associated with sales promotion for Hammonds' line of
ODVs®.
Loss from Operations. Our
loss from operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, was
$686,595 compared to an operating loss of $710,561 for the same period
of the prior year. Operating expenses include non-cash items, such as
depreciation, amortization, and stock based compensation. Our loss from
operations excluding these non-cash items was $429,020 for the three months
ended March 31, 2008, compared to $506,385 for the same period of the prior
year.
Other Income (Expense). Other
expense was $103,088 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008, compared
to $135,306 for the three month period ended March 31, 2007. The decrease was
primarily due to a reduction in interest expense of $21,464.
Net Income (Loss). Our net
loss decreased to $798,559 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008,
compared to a net loss of $845,867 for the three month period ended March 31,
2007.
Liquidity and Capital
Resources
At March
31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had total assets of $10,014,126 and
$10,815,238, respectively. We had positive working capital of $1,838,545 at
March 31, 2008, compared to $2,660,254 at December 31, 2007, representing a
reduction of $821,709, due primarily to funding operations and investment in
production equipment.
Net cash
used in operations was $1,076,236 during the three months ended March 31, 2008,
compared to $493,912 for the same period of the prior year. The cash used
during the three months ended March 31, 2008 was derived primarily from the net
loss of $798,559 and increases in accounts receivable of $183,269, inventories
of $153,999, prepaid expenses and other assets of $82,227, and a decrease
in accounts payable of $144,071. Significant non-cash items included in
the net loss are depreciation and amortization of $223,375. The cash
used during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was derived primarily from the
net loss of $845,867 and an increase in inventories of $272,344, offset by a
decrease in accounts receivable of $271,574, an increase in accounts payable of
$98,196, depreciation and amortization of $204,176, and an unrealized loss on
trading securities of $40,781.
Net cash
used in investing activities was $139,798 during the three month period
ended March 31, 2008, compared to cash used of $87,396 for the same period of
the prior year. The cash used during the three months ended March 31, 2008
was primarily from the investment in production equipment of $127,243.
The cash
used during the three months ended March 31, 2007 was from purchases of an
option to buy American International Industries, Inc. stock for $100,000 as part
of a lawsuit settlement, property and equipment of $79,991, and patents and
trademarks of $4,840, offset by an increase of $90,271 in amounts due to our
parent, American International Industries, Inc.
Net cash
used in financing activities was $29,547 during the three months ended March 31,
2008, compared to net cash provided in financing activities of $755,884 at March
31, 2007. The net cash used in financing activities during the three
month period ended March 31, 2008 was mainly due to payments on long-term debt
and capital lease obligations. The net
cash provided by financing activities during the three month period ended March
31, 2007 was mainly due to net proceeds from issuance of 3,970,400 shares of
common stock upon the exercise by VOMF of Series C Warrants at an exercise price
of $0.18 per share resulting in gross proceeds of $714,672 and net proceeds of
$694,672, and proceeds from long-term borrowings of $243,247, offset by payments
on debt of $182,035.
In order
to successfully grow Hammonds' business and its plan to increase market share
for Hammonds' products and services, we have been dependent upon the funding
from our parent, which loan at March 31, 2008 was $592,063, and our
parent's ability to secure and maintain our existing $2,000,000 revolving credit
line from a financial institution.
The
Company received approximately $5.4 million from the 2006 and 2007 VOMF Private
Financing Transactions (See the discussion under "2006 Private Financing
Transactions" and "2007 Private Financing Transactions" in footnote 1). As a
result of the fact that VOMF has exercised all of the warrants issued in the
Private Financing Transactions, the Company will not receive any additional
funding from VOMF unless new funding arrangements are negotiated.
If
additional debt and/or equity financing is required in 2008, we believe that
such financing will be available from our parent and institutional or other
private investors at terms and conditions acceptable to the
Company.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT
MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk. The carrying amounts for
cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes payable and accounts
payable and accrued liabilities shown in the Condensed Consolidated Balance
Sheets approximate fair value at March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, due to
the generally short maturities of these items. At March 31, 2008 and December
31, 2007, our investments were primarily in short-term dollar denominated bank
deposits with maturities of a few days, or in longer-term deposits where funds
can be withdrawn on demand without penalty. We have the ability and expect to
hold our investments to maturity.
The
Company’s outstanding long-term debt as of March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
is at fixed interest rates, prime plus 1%, or prime floating rate. The Company
does not believe that a change of 100 basis points in interest rates would have
a material effect on the Company’s financial condition.
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls
and procedures. As of March 31, 2008, the Company's chief executive
officer and chief financial officer conducted an evaluation regarding the
effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon the evaluation
of these controls and procedures, our chief executive officer and chief
financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
In
response to a letter from the SEC in connection with the review of the Company’s
Form 10-QSB for Fiscal Quarter Ended September 30, 2006, the Company has
reexamined the treatment of the valuation of the preferred stock issued by
Hammonds. As a result of our reexamination and the analysis of
professional literature related to this very technical and complex issue, we
restated the financial statements for the quarter ended March 31,
2007.
The
Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reassessed
our disclosure controls and procedures for the quarter ended March 31,
2007. Based on the reassessment, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and
procedures were therefore not, as of March 31, 2007, effective to provide
reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in
reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information required to be disclosed by
us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
principal executive and financial officer, or persons performing similar
functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Changes in internal controls.
During the quarterly period covered by this report, no changes occurred in our
internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.
