The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.
 

AMERITYRE CORPORATION
Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations.  The information furnished in the interim condensed financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements.  We believe the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading.  These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our June 30, 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Operating results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, and notes payable.  The carrying amount of cash and accounts payable approximates their fair value because of the short-term nature of these items.  The carrying amount of the notes payable approximates fair value as the individual borrowings bear interest at rates that approximate market interest rates for similar debt instruments.

Stock Based-Compensation Expense

We account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (ASC 718).  Our financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 reflect the impact of ASC 718.  Stock-based compensation expense related to director and employee options recognized under ASC 718 for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $43,755 and $44,777, respectively.

ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model.  The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our Statement of Operations.  Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended, 2012 and 2011 assumes all awards will vest therefore no reduction has been made for estimated forfeitures.  We have awarded some options with a performance requirement and no amounts will be recorded until the requirement is met.

Basic and Fully Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Basic and fully diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

Our outstanding stock options, convertible preferred stock, convertible secured promissory notes and stock warrants, all of which are common stock equivalents, have been excluded from the basic and fully diluted net loss per share calculation.  We excluded 7,691,573 and 3,983,286 common stock equivalents for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, because they are anti-dilutive.
 
Income Tax

We file federal income tax returns in the U.S. and state income tax returns in those state jurisdictions where we are required to file.  With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2008.  We have adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740).

There are no tax positions included in the balance at December 31, 2012 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.  Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.

Our policy is to recognize accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued

 Related Party Transactions
 
Amerityre’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, Timothy L. Ryan, is also the principal owner of Rhino Rubber LLC, a manufacturing and distribution company for solid industrial tires and wheels.  During the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, Rhino Rubber LLC purchased a total of $4,164 and $17,103, respectively, in tire products from Ameritye.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the accounts receivable balances for Rhino Rubber LLC were $27,807 and $26,424, respectively.  The terms and conditions of those related-party sales transactions were the same as those afforded to any of Amerityre’s customers.
 
A former board member, Silas O. Kines, who passed away on January 11, 2012, was also the principal owner of Forklift Tire of Florida and K-2 Industrial Tire, Inc.  Forklift Tire of Florida is a distributor primarily of Amerityre’s forklift product line.  During the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, Forklift Tire of Florida purchased a total $0 and $12,211, respectively, in tire products from Amerityre.  As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, the accounts receivable balances for Forklift Tire of Florida were $2,324 and $11,863, respectively.  The terms and conditions of those related-party sales transactions were the same as those afforded to any of Amerityre’s customers.  In accordance with the Commission Agreement, dated February 2, 2011, between Amerityre Corporation and K-2 Industrial Tire, Inc., K-2 is due a five percent (5%) commission on all forklift tire sales.  In exchange for the forklift models transferred to Amerityre under that agreement, the first $96,000 in commission payments will be used to extinguish the long term liability recorded on the transaction.  As of December 31, 2012, $21,192 and $53,840 were recorded for the current and long-term portion, respectively, of the related liability. Since his passing, Mr. Kines is no longer considered a related party. As a result, the related receivables are not reflected as related party receivables on the balance sheet at December 31, 2012.

NOTE 3 - INVENTORY

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (computed on a first-in, first-out basis) or market.  The inventory consists primarily of chemicals, finished goods produced in our plant and products purchased for resale.

NOTE 4 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

In September 2010, we closed a private placement of secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”).  We sold an aggregate of $755,800 in Notes.  The Notes had a one year term with simple interest of 6.0%.  The Notes are convertible at the holders’ option to our common stock at a conversion rate of $0.35 per share.  The Notes are secured by all assets of the Company.  Principal and interest are due at maturity of the Notes, if the Notes are not converted.  If the holder elects such conversion, for each two shares in the conversion, the holder shall also receive one warrant to purchase an additional share, exercisable at $0.60 per share for an exercise period of 2 years from the date of conversion.  No officers, directors or affiliates of the Company participated in the private placement.  The Notes were sold pursuant to subscription documents between the Company and each investor.  In connection with the private placement of secured convertible promissory notes, on September 15, 2010, the Company issued 142,856 shares of restricted common stock as finders' fees.  The aggregate value of the shares issued as finders’ fees was $50,000, based on the closing price of $0.36 per share.  As of December 31, 2012, $410,000 of the Notes were redeemed; $195,800 of the Notes converted into 559,429 shares of common stock; and $150,000 of the Notes extended maturity until January 31, 2013. In January 2013, an additional $50,000 of the Notes were redeemed and $100,000 of the Notes extended maturity until April 30, 2013. The extended notes bear a simple interest rate of 9% per annum.  Accrued interest on the Notes payable at December 31, 2012 was $3,375.

NOTE 5 - STOCK TRANSACTIONS

On May 29, 2012, the Board of Directors approved a resolution designating 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value, as Series A Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Shares”).  On June 1, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation with the Nevada Secretary of State for Series A Contingent Convertible Preferred Stock.  The Certificate of Designation was approved by the Nevada Secretary of State on June 4, 2012.  From June 30, 2012 through September 30, 2012, the Company conducted a private placement of the Series A Shares. The Series A Shares have no dividend rights and have voting rights only on any matters directly affecting the rights and privileges of the Series A Shares.
 
The Series A Shares have liquidation preference amounting to a return of the initial par value per share only, with no further participation in any distributions to other shareholders. Any issued Series A Shares will automatically convert to the Company’s common stock at a ratio of four shares of common stock for each share of the Series A Shares after the later of six months from the date of issuance or the date on which the Corporation shall have available shares of common stock which are authorized, un-issued and not reserved for any other event or contingency, in an amount sufficient to convert all of the shares of Series A Shares issued and outstanding on the date of the proposed conversion.  As of the close of the private placement on September 30, 2012, the Company had received and accepted subscription documents, and the related cash deposits, for the

purchase of 1,135,000 of the Series A Shares.  Proceeds from the private placement of the Series A Shares were $1,074,864, net of issuance costs of $60,136.

On August 1, 2012, the Board of Directors authorized an aggregate of 750,000 shares of restricted common stock to its directors for additional services provided during the six months ended June 30, 2012. The total value of the shares issued was $150,000 based on the closing market price on the authorization date of $0.20 per share.  The value of the shares was accrued as stock-based compensation expense for the year ended June 30, 2012. The shares were issued in September 2012.
 
NOTE 6 - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

General Option Information

On July 6, 2011, the Board of Directors cancelled the “2004 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Incentive Plan” and approved the “Directors’ 2011 Stock Option and Award Plan”.  The Company also maintains the 2005 Stock Option and Award Plan, which was previously approved by shareholders, for the purpose of granting option awards to its employees and consultants.   Under the 2011 Plan, a total of 3,300,000 shares are authorized for issuance.  Each non-executive director was granted options to purchase 300,000 shares at that day’s closing price, $0.17.  The options vest over three years as follows: 100,000 on June 30, 2012, 100,000 on June 30, 2013 and 100,000 on June 30, 2014.  These options expire two years after vesting.  The Director who serves as Audit Chair during the fiscal year will receive an additional 50,000 options per year under the same terms.  CEO Timothy L. Ryan was granted 200,000 options per year under the same terms, under the 2005 Stock Option and Award Plan.

At the August 1, 2012 Board of Directors’ meeting, Brian W. Hesje assumed the role of Audit Committee Chairman. For his service as the Audit Committee Chairman, the Board of Directors approved a grant of 300,000 stock options based on the closing market price on the issuance date of $0.26 per share. Under the Directors’ 2011 Stock Option and Award Plan, 150,000 of the options will vest on June 30, 2013 and 150,000 will vest on June 30, 2014.

We estimated the fair value of the stock options at the grant date based on the following range of weighted average assumptions:

NOTE 6 - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS, Continued

General Warrant Information

During the six months ended December 31, 2012, none of the outstanding secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) converted to common stock. As of December 31, 2012, there were 279,715 warrants issued and outstanding.

NOTE 7 – CASH POSITION, OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS AND FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS

At December 31, 2012, our total cash was $11,267, none of which is restricted and our total indebtedness was $918,611.  Our total indebtedness at December 31, 2012 includes $487,252 in accounts payable, $153,375 in principal and interest for secured convertible promissory notes, $202,952 in accrued expenses, $21,192 in current portion of long-term debt, and $53,840 in long-term debt.

The Company currently does not have an existing credit facility. Management, over the past year, has worked with our vendors to obtain extended credit terms and increase credit lines. We have improved the lines of communications with our vendors often integrating the vendor into the decision making process. We have succeeded in these endeavors and appreciate the continued support of our vendors. During the same period, management has also improved its customer credit policies and procedures and is aggressively pursuing receivable collections.

Management is intent, in spite of losing a significant number of revenue growth opportunities due to cash flow constraints, on focusing on the sale and distribution of profitable product lines. Management has adopted a more aggressive business plan that involves the acquisition of higher output production equipment and maintaining sufficient raw material and finished goods inventory levels to capitalize on revenue growth opportunities. Over the past nine months, management has invested approximately $116,000 in capital equipment to improve employee efficiency, thus reducing overall costs, and to promote sales growth. These investments include the replacement of an outdated server and computer workstations; the installation of a fully automated telephone system to support customer sales orders; and forklift tire production equipment to support sales orders. No additional capital expenditures are anticipated over the next six months, unless they support sales development and product improvement. Management is also working to reduce its overall costs. For example, we renegotiated the building lease in June 2012, resulting in an annual rent decrease of $48,000.

The Company has increased its efforts to obtain financing through means that previously were not considered such as preferred stock offerings, structured debt and asset based lending. On September 30, 2012, we completed a private offering of convertible preferred stock, which generated net proceeds of $1,074,864. As of this filing, the Company has received $335,000 in cash receipts from the sale of unsecured notes and related short-term borrowings. We have also redeemed or converted $655,800 of the $755,800 in secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) placed in September 2010. In addition, we are currently attempting to obtain approval for financing in the form of structured debt. We anticipate having this financing transaction completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. We have also received several asset based lending proposals that are currently under review.

At the Annual Stockholder’s Meeting, held on December 4, 2012, the stockholders voted to amend the Company’s Article of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 40,000,000 shares to 55,000,000 shares. The increase allows us to convert the preferred stock mentioned above into common stock. In addition, the increase provides the Company with approximately 11,133,000 shares authorized and available for issuance. These authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of our common stock can be utilized as necessary to fund the expansion of our manufacturing operations or to obtain additional working capital.

The success of the current business strategy is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital.  In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, we have analyzed our cash needs for the next twelve months. We believe that our current fundraising efforts will be successful, but if  we are unable to raise a minimum of $800,000 in working capital (of which $335,000 has been raised, see Note 8) through the current financing efforts mentioned above, we would be required to raise additional working capital through alternative sources to continue operations.
  
NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
At the Annual Stockholder’s Meeting, held on December 4, 2012, the stockholders voted to amend the Company’s Article of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 40,000,000 shares to 55,000,000 shares.  On January 28, 2013, the Nevada Secretary of State accepted the Company’s filing of a Certificate of Amendment to increase the authorized number of common stock shares. As of this filing, 835,000 shares of the convertible preferred stock have automatically converted into common stock.  We are in the process of exchanging the convertible preferred stock certificates for common stock certificates.

In January 2013, the Company redeemed for cash $50,000 of the secured convertible promissory notes (the ”Notes) and extended the maturity date on $100,000 of the Notes to April 30, 2013.
 
As of this filing, the Company has received an additional $335,000 in cash proceeds from the sale of the unsecured notes and related short-term borrowings.
 
 Management has evaluated subsequent events per the requirements of Topic 855 and has determined that there are no additional subsequent events to be reported.
 
 
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This discussion and analysis contains statements of a forward-looking nature relating to future events or our future financial performance or financial condition.  Such statements are only predictions and the actual events or results may differ materially from the results discussed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. The historical results set forth in this discussion and analysis are not necessarily indicative of trends with respect to any actual or projected future financial performance.  This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Overview

Amerityre engages in the research and development, manufacturing and sale of polyurethane tires.  We believe that we have developed unique polyurethane formulations that allow us to make products with superior performance characteristics, including abrasion resistance and load-bearing capabilities, than conventional rubber tires.  We also believe that our manufacturing processes are more efficient than traditional tire manufacturing processes, in part because our polyurethane compounds do not require the multiple processing steps, extreme heat and high pressure that are necessary to cure rubber.  Using our polyurethane technologies, we believe tires can be produced which last longer, are less susceptible to failure and offer improved fuel economy. During the last quarter we began to streamline the manufacturing process to increase productivity, eliminate waste and improve product quality. As sales volumes build, this will allow Amerityre to optimize current available resources and assets without additional capital investment.
 
We are concentrating on three segments of the tire market: low duty cycle foam tires, solid forklift tires and agricultural tires.  Our most recent activities in these areas are set forth below:

Low duty cycle foam tires – The sale of polyurethane foam tires to original equipment manufacturers, distributors and dealers accounts for most of our revenue at this time. We have the ability to produce a broad range of products for the low duty cycle tire market. Marketing efforts are focused on building a distribution network to expand our business and product sales. A new dealer/distributor development program was rolled out in October 2012. This program is designed to build sales volume and add value to the Amerityre distribution network. Results are encouraging as we have received interest in this new program from potential customers across the country. We are currently engaged in setting up these new potential distributors with the target of having them in place for the spring lawn and garden season. In addition, key original equipment manufacturers (O.E.M) are currently testing Amerityre products for use on their equipment. The Company received a significant “test order” from the U.S. market leader in the supply of wheel barrows, which was delivered in February. In addition, several major mobility, and lawn and garden companies are expected to complete their testing of Amerityre products during the 3rd quarter of fiscal 2013. As a result of drought and unseasonal warm weather patterns that affected product consumption from major accounts, we anticipated a shift in sales from the 1st quarter to the 3rd quarter of fiscal 2013. During the 2nd quarter of fiscal, we experienced a 14% increase in the number of sales orders over the previous year. In addition, we have received new orders from several customers in the lawn and garden sector, which we will begin to deliver in the 3rd quarter of fiscal 2013. From these developments, we remain firm in our belief that sales during the 3rd and 4th quarter of fiscal 2013 will increase significantly over the prior year.
 
Solid forklift tires – Manufacturing process improvements were implemented during the 4th quarter of fiscal 2012. As a result, all forklift tires are being consistently produced at a high quality level. Sales and marketing efforts are underway to rebuild customer confidence in the product. Forklift tire sales volume for during the first half of fiscal 2013 are close to levels attained during the same period in the prior year. Furthermore, no warranty claims have been received since the implementation of the new process improvements. In addition, capital investments have been made to eliminate production bottlenecks in the curing and rim blasting departments. The result is a lower cost to produce forklift tires through increased productivity and lower labor cost. It is anticipated sales of forklift tires will grow well beyond fiscal 2012 levels as we have more than doubled the dealer network over the previous year. During the 3rd quarter of fiscal 2012, production was shut down to address process issues. Currently, production is running well and inventory availability has been established in the Boulder City warehouse and at our east coast distribution center.
 
Agricultural tires – We are currently pursuing two segments of the agricultural tire market. The Company completed a redesign of its agricultural products in the 4th quarter of fiscal 2012. The newly designed tires are now entering the market and sales are expected to grow significantly during the 3rd and 4th quarters of fiscal 2013. Drought conditions severely impacted sales for this product segment last year. We recently met with several irrigation manufacturers and reached an agreement to test the Amerityre pivot tire solution during the upcoming irrigation season. In addition, Amerityre will present its agriculture products at the largest U.S. farm exhibition in Tulare, California in February. We also plan to introduce a new seeder tire dimension for a significant customer. This product will be ready for shipment in the 3rd quarter of fiscal 2013. Sales volumes during 3rd and 4th quarters of fiscal 2013 are projected to grow significantly over prior year.
 
Due to the Company’s limited resources, tire projects which are contingent on additional development, such as composite and automotive tires, have been put on hold and will be revisited at a later date.

Factors Affecting Results of Operations
 
Our operating expenses consisted primarily of the following:
 
·  
Cost of sales, which consists primarily of raw materials, components and production of our products, including applied labor costs and benefits expenses, maintenance, facilities and other operating costs associated with the production of our products;
 
·  
Selling, general and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of salaries, commissions and related benefits paid to our employees and related selling and administrative costs including professional fees;
 
·  
Research and development expenses, which consist primarily of equipment and materials used in new product development and product improvement using our technologies;
 
 
·  
Consulting expenses, which consist primarily of amounts paid to third-parties for outside services;
  
·  
Depreciation and amortization expenses which result from the depreciation of our property and equipment, including amortization of our intangible assets; and
 
·  
Stock based compensation expense related to stock and stock option awards issued to employees and consultants for services performed for the Company.

 Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, deferred compensation and contingencies.  We base our estimates on historical performance and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  These estimates allow us to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.

We believe the following accounting policies are our critical accounting policies because they are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and they require critical management judgments and estimates about matters that may be uncertain.  If actual results or events differ materially from those contemplated by us in making these estimates, our reported financial condition and results of operations for future periods could be materially affected.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue for products is recognized when the sales amount is determined, shipment of goods to the customer has occurred and collection is reasonably assured. Generally, we ship all of our products FOB origination.

Valuation of Intangible Assets and Goodwill

At December 31 2012, we had capitalized patent and trademark costs, net of accumulated amortization, totaling $517,349.  The patents which have been granted are being amortized over a period of 20 years.  Patents which are pending or are being developed are not amortized until a patent has been issued.  We evaluate the recoverability of intangibles and review the amortization period on a continual basis utilizing the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). We test our patents and trademarks for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying value may not be recoverable. We consider the following indicators, among others, when determining whether or not our patents are impaired:

·  
any changes in the market relating to the patents that would decrease the life of the asset;

·  
any adverse change in the extent or manner in which the patents are being used;

·  
any significant adverse change in legal factors relating to the use of the patents;

·  
current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with our history of operating or cash flow losses;

·  
future cash flow values based on the expectation of commercialization through licensing; and

·  
current expectations that a patent will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.
 
Inventory
 
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (computed on a first-in, first-out basis) or market.  The inventory consists primarily of chemicals, finished goods produced in our plant and products purchased for resale.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
Equity securities issued for services rendered have been accounted for at the fair market value of the securities on the date of authorization.  The stock-based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718 for the six month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $43,755 and $44,777, respectively.

Seasonality

A substantial majority of our sales are to customers within the United States. We experience some seasonality in the sale of our closed-cell polyurethane foam tires for bicycles and, lawn and garden products because sales of these products generally decline during the winter months in the United States.  Sales of our closed-cell polyurethane form tire products generally peak during the spring and summer months, typically resulting in greater sales volumes during the 3rd and 4th quarters of the fiscal year.
 
 
Results of Operations
 
Our management reviews and analyzes several key performance indicators in order to manage our business and assess the quality and potential variability of our revenues and cash flows.  These key performance indicators include:
 
·  
Net revenues, which consists of product sales revenues and equipment sales revenues, if any;
 
·  
Sales revenue, net of returns and trade discounts, which is an indicator of our overall business growth and the success of our sales and marketing efforts;
 
·  
Gross profit, which is an indicator of both competitive pricing pressures and the cost of revenues of our products and the mix of product and equipment sales and license fees, if any;
 
·  
Growth in our customer base, which is an indicator of the success of our sales efforts; and
 
·  
Distribution of revenue across our products offered.
 
The following summary table presents a comparison of our results of operations for the three and six month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 with respect to certain key financial measures.  The comparisons illustrated in the table are discussed in greater detail below.

Three Months Ended December 30, 2012 Compared to December 30, 2011
 
Net Revenues.  Net revenues of $727,194 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, represent a 30.7% decrease over net revenues of $1,048,698 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Net revenues for the first half of fiscal 2013 continue to lag forecasts due to replacement shipments relating to forklift tires returned under warranty; chemical and production shortages which led to delayed and cancelled orders; and delays in the redesign of the pivot wheel. In addition, we have experienced reduced orders from certain distributors and licensees currently under agreements with Amerityre. Net revenues for the same period in fiscal 2012 were higher than normal due in part to the relaunch of the forklift product line; chemical and equipment sales under a new licensing agreement; and the launch of new products for agriculture.  

Cost of revenues.  Cost of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were $515,048 or 70.8% of net revenues compared to $657,538 or 62.7% of net revenues for the same period in 2011.  Cost of revenues as a percent of net revenues increased for the three months ended December 31, 2012 over the same period in the prior year largely due to a shift from the use of temporary employees for production to full-time employees. The shift to full-time production employees was made to improve quality control and overall product quality. The use of full-time production employees resulted in an overall production cost increase due to higher labor rates and employee benefits.
 
Gross profit.  Gross profit for three months ended December 31, 2012 was $212,146 compared to $391,160 for the same period in 2011.  Gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2012 decreased by $179,014 or 45.8% over the same period in 2011. As a percent of net revenues, gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2012 increased 8.1% due to increased production labor costs that led to the increase in cost of revenues discussed above.

Consulting expenses are expected to fluctuate depending upon future product development, manufacturing initiatives and other projects

Depreciation and amortization expenses.  Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was $61,450 compared to $60,662 for the same period last year. Depreciation and amortization increased only $788, or 1.3% compared to the same period in 2011. The nominal increase in depreciation between periods was due to fixed asset purchases that were offset by a decrease in depreciation from fully-depreciated assets and the abandonment of obsolete patents. In addition, during the six months ended December 31, 2012, the Company invested approximately $161,000 in manufacturing, telephone and other fixed assets. However a large portion of those assets had to undergo construction and assembly, and as a result were not placed in service until the latter part of the 2nd quarter fiscal 2013.
 
 
Research and development expenses.  Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2012 were $0 compared to $4,861 for the same period in the prior year.  The research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2012 decreased by $4,861 as compared with the same period in 2011 primarily due to a decrease in outside testing services and a reduction in tooling costs.

  SG&A expenses as a percentage of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2012 increased to 66.4% of total revenues from 51.0% in the same period last year primarily due to the decrease in net revenues.

Net loss.  Net loss for the three month period ended December 31, 2012 was $344,644 compared to a net loss of $230,348 for the same period in 2011.  The $114,296 increase in the net loss is primarily due to the decrease in net revenues and the related impact on gross profit.
 
Six Months Ended December 31, 2012 Compared to December 31, 2011
 
Net revenues.  Net revenues of $1,640,404 for the six months ended December 31, 2012, represents a 30.2% decrease over net revenues of $2,397,864 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. Revenues for the first half of fiscal 2013 continue to lag forecasts due to replacement shipments relating to forklift tires returned under warranty; chemical and production shortages which led to delayed and cancelled orders; and delays in the redesign of the pivot wheel. In addition, we have experienced reduced orders from certain distributors and licensees currently under agreements with Amerityre. Revenues for the same period in fiscal 2012 were higher than normal due in part to the relaunch of the forklift product line; chemical and equipment sales under a new licensing agreement; and the launch of new products for agriculture. 

Cost of revenues.  For the six months ended December 31, 2012, cost of revenues were $1,054,476 compared to $1,534,486 for the same period in 2011, representing a 31.3% decrease. However cost of sales as a percent of revenue remained relatively constant for the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 at 64.3% and 64.0% of revenues, respectively. Cost of revenues decreased primarily due to the decrease in net revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash and payments received from our customers.  We do not have any significant credit arrangements.  Historically, our expenses have exceeded our revenues, resulting in operating losses.  From time to time, we have obtained additional liquidity to fund our operations through the sale of shares of our common stock and the placement of short-term debt instruments.  In assessing our liquidity, management reviews and analyzes our current cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, capital expenditure commitments and other obligations.

Net Cash Used By Operating Activities.

(1)  In June 2012, we negotiated an extension to the lease for our executive and manufacturing facilities located at 1501 Industrial Road, Boulder City, Nevada.  The property consists of a 49,200 square-foot building, which includes approximately 5,500 square-feet of office space, situated on approximately 4.15 acres.  The two year lease extension commenced on July 1, 2012 and the base rent was reduced $4,000 per month to $11,000 per month.  All other terms and conditions of the building lease remain in effect.
 
Cash Position, Outstanding Indebtedness and Future Capital Requirements
 
At December 31, 2012, our total cash was $11,267, none of which is restricted and our total indebtedness was $918,611.  Our total indebtedness at December 31, 2012 includes $487,252 in accounts payable, $153,375 in principal and interest for secured convertible promissory notes, $202,952 in accrued expenses, $21,192 in current portion of long-term debt, and $53,840 in long-term debt.

The Company currently does not have an existing credit facility. Management, over the past year, has worked with our vendors to obtain extended credit terms and increase credit lines. We have improved the lines of communications with our vendors often integrating the vendor into the decision making process. We have succeeded in these endeavors and appreciate the continued support of our vendors. During the same period, management has also improved its customer credit policies and procedures and is aggressively pursuing receivable collections.
 
 
Management is intent, in spite of losing a significant number of revenue growth opportunities due to cash flow constraints, on focusing on the sale and distribution of profitable product lines. Management has adopted a more aggressive business plan that involves the acquisition of higher output production equipment and maintaining sufficient raw material and finished goods inventory levels to capitalize on revenue growth opportunities. Over the past nine months, management has invested approximately $116,000 in capital equipment to improve employee efficiency, thus reducing overall costs, and to promote sales growth. These investments include the replacement of an outdated server and computer workstations; the installation of a fully automated telephone system to support customer sales orders; and forklift tire production equipment to support sales orders. No additional capital expenditures are anticipated over the next six months, unless they support sales development and product improvement. Management is also working to reduce its overall costs. For example, we renegotiated the building lease in June 2012, resulting in an annual rent decrease of $48,000.

The Company has increased its efforts to obtain financing through means that previously were not considered such as preferred stock offerings, structured debt and asset based lending. On September 30, 2012, we completed a private offering of convertible preferred stock, which generated net proceeds of $1,074,864. As of this filing, the Company has received $335,000 in cash receipts from the sale of unsecured notes and related short-term borrowings. We have also redeemed or converted $655,800 of the $755,800 in secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) placed in September 2010. In addition, we are currently attempting to obtain approval for financing in the form of structured debt. We anticipate having this financing transaction completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. We have also received several asset based lending proposals that are currently under review.

At the Annual Stockholder’s Meeting, held on December 4, 2012, the stockholders voted to amend the Company’s Article of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 40,000,000 shares to 55,000,000 shares. The increase allows us to convert the preferred stock mentioned above into common stock. In addition, the increase provides the Company with approximately 11,133,000 shares authorized and available for issuance. These authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of our common stock can be utilized as necessary to fund the expansion of our manufacturing operations or to obtain additional working capital.

The success of the current business strategy is dependent upon obtaining additional working capital. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, we have analyzed our cash needs for the next twelve months. We believe that our current fundraising efforts will be successful, but if  we are unable to raise a minimum of $800,000 in working capital (of which $335,000 has been raised, see Note 8) through the financing efforts mentioned above, we would be required to raise additional working capital through alternative sources to continue operations.
  
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to changes in prevailing market interest rates affecting the return on our investments but do not consider this interest rate market risk exposure to be material to our financial condition or results of operations.  We invest primarily in United States Treasury instruments with short-term (less than one year) maturities.  The carrying amount of these investments approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities.  Under our current policies, we do not use derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates or commodity prices.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 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.

We have carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. Based upon such evaluation, management has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
