Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

September 30, 2020

 

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 (“SEC”).  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, 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2021.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Significant accounting policies disclosed herein have not changed since our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our June 30, 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as noted below.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The majority of our revenue is derived from short-term sales contracts. We account for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”.

 

Revenue for our products is recognized at the time in which our performance obligation is satisfied which we have defined as “control” of the product by the customer. “Control” is defined as a customer having “rights/obligations of physical control over the product or has the rights and intention to control the product.” Based on the terms of our contracts, a customer’s “control” is based on analysis of the following; (i) when a customer arranges their own shipping, and once the product has left our dock, Amerityre recognizes revenue for the product.  In effect by arranging their own shipping the customer is “taking control” of the product when it leaves our warehouse; or (ii) when a customer does not arrange their own shipping, we cannot recognize revenue until it is delivered and the customer takes “control” of the product. This establishes a “deferred revenue” event until such time as delivery of the product has been completed and we have proof from the shipper of the delivery (and change in control).

 

Deferred revenue was $17,667, inclusive of $1,633 of shipping and handling revenue (see below), as of September 30, 2020.  Deferred revenue was $18,404, inclusive of $45 of shipping and handling revenue (see below), as of September 30, 2019. 

 

Shipping and Handling

 

Shipping and Handling Fees require that freight costs charged to customers be classified as revenues. Freight expenses are included in costs of sales and are recognized as incurred.  Due to our adoption of ASC 606 as discussed above, we defer the revenues of shipping and handling until the related revenue is also recognized.

 

The result of this accounting is a deferral of $1,633 as of September 30, 2020 and $45 as of September 30, 2019.

 

Basic and Fully Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic and Fully Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.


Our outstanding stock options and warrants and shares issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible notes have been excluded from the basic and fully diluted net loss per share calculation.  We excluded 2,870,000 and 3,970,000 common stock equivalents for the quarters ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, because they are anti-dilutive.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

September 30, 2020

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and the SEC, did not, or are not believed by management to, have a material impact on the Company's present or future financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

  

NOTE 3 – INVENTORY

 

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

)

    (87,006

)

Inventory – net (current and long term)

  $ 807,815     $ 794,671  

 

Our inventory reserve reflects items that were deemed to be defective or obsolete based on an analysis of all inventories on hand.

 

The Company critically reviews all slow moving inventory to determine if it is defective or obsolete.  If not defective or obsolete we present these items as non-current inventory, although all inventory is ready and available for sale at any moment.  

 

NOTE 4 – RIGHT TO USE LEASE ASSETS

 

Based on our lease accounting policy, we have identified the following operating leases. As of September 30, 2020 we have no financing leases:

)

    (182,369

)

Right to use leased assets, operating, net

  $ 652,495     $ 692,007  

 

In March 2019 we negotiated a five year extension of the lease on our executive office and manufacturing facility located at 1501 Industrial Road, Boulder City, Nevada.  The property consists of a 49,200 square foot building.  We currently occupy all 49,200 square feet, inclusive of approximately 5,500 square feet of office space, situated on approximately 4.15 acres.  Our remaining liability under this agreement is $557,550, payable at amounts ranging from $11,750 to $12,600 a month until June 30, 2024.

 

NOTE 5 – DEBT

 

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.  In accordance with the Commission Agreement with Forklift Tire of Florida, 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 September 30, 2020, $2,000 and $61,604 (June 30, 2019, $2,000 and $62,089) were recorded for the current and long-term portion, respectively, of the related liability.

 

 

AMERITYRE CORPORATION

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements

September 30, 2020

 

In April 2020, the Company secured a loan from the Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program. The loan amount is $149,570 and has a term of 2 years at 1% interest. Per the terms of the loan, the first payment is expected on or about November 15, 2020, unless the loan is fully forgiven. All or a portion of the loan can be forgiven to the extent that at least 60% of the loan proceeds are used for payroll costs and the Company does not reduce its total number of employees or reduce employee salaries or wages by 25% or more during the covered period of the loan. In October 2020, the Company’s bank that brokered this loan has recommended full forgiveness be provided by the Small Business Administration.

 

NOTE 6 – STOCK TRANSACTIONS, OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

 

On July 22, 2020, the Board of Directors adopted the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) which contains provisions for up to 2,500,000 stock-based instruments to be granted to employees, consultants and directors.

 

Effective September 24, 2020, the Company filed a withdraw of designation related to the 2013 Series Convertible Preferred Stock designation. In doing so, the State of Nevada also withdrew all preferred shares authorized. The Company will file a new designation authorizing preferred shares should this be needed in the future.

 

No stock or options have been granted as of September 30, 2020 or in fiscal year 2021.

 

A summary of the status of our outstanding stock options as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020, and changes during these periods is presented below:

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.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” as well as those discussed elsewhere in this report.  The historical results set forth in this discussion and analyses 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 have developed unique polyurethane formulations that allow us to make products with superior performance characteristics in the areas of abrasion resistance, energy efficiency and load-bearing capabilities, when compared to conventional rubber tires.  We also believe that our manufacturing processes are more energy efficient than the traditional, rubber 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. We believe tires produced with our proprietary polyurethane formulations last longer, are less susceptible to failure and are friendlier to the environment when compared to competitor offerings.

 

We concentrate on three segments of the flat free tire market:  light duty polyurethane foam tires, polyurethane elastomer industrial tires and agricultural tires. Our focus continues to be applications and markets where our advantages in product technology, tire performance, and customer service give us an opportunity to obtain premium pricing. Our most recent activities in these areas are set forth below:

 

Light Duty Polyurethane Foam Tires – The sale of polyurethane foam tires to original equipment manufacturers, distributors and dealers accounts for the majority of our revenue. We produce a broad range of products for the light duty tire market. Our product development and marketing efforts are focused on building customer relationships and expanding sales with original equipment manufacturers and tire distributors.  Our competitive advantage is creating unique product solutions for customers who have challenging tire performance requirements that cannot be met by competitor offerings.

 

Due to the effect of COVID-19, we experienced lower than expected demand for our polyurethane foam tires in the 4th quarter of fiscal year 2020. However, sales have rebounded from a heavily depressed level in May 2020, and current sales levels are comparable to sales levels experienced pre-COVID. Sales for the fiscal first quarter 2021 were 7.4% higher than the sales level in fiscal first quarter 2020. Some of these sales are likely “catch up” sales related to the reopening of our customers from the COVID shutdown, but we are seeing similar strong sales trends that we saw last year during the pre-COVID period

 

Polyurethane Elastomer Industrial Tires – Overall sales volumes of our forklift tires remain small, less than 0.1% of our total sales revenue. Price sensitive consumers continue to favor imported solid rubber press-on forklift tires rather than our products. Due to other project priorities, we do not plan to devote significant resources towards promoting this product line. 

 

The Company continues to see greater interest in its light-density elastomer formulation for use in tire applications where customers need higher abrasion resistance and load bearing capability. Elastothane TM 500 formulation provides better performance in these areas compared to our closed cell foam formulation. Lawn and garden tires continue to drive increased sales of this formulation We continue to believe this new formulation represents a significant upside opportunity for our product portfolio.

 

Agricultural Tires – Agricultural tires sales continue again to be negatively impacted by poor farm income levels. However, we have seen some recent strength in farm commodity prices which may improve the financial position of farmers and allow them to restart spending on equipment upgrades. However, we are not convinced yet that the prospect for improved agricultural commodity pricing will continue. We continue to approach OEMs and large distributors about promoting and utilizing our tires for certain applications, but their belief that farmers will not pay extra for a premium product has limited our success to date. The introduction of our ElastothaneTM 500 formulation has enabled us to offer a better product alternative for abrasive applications.

 

We believe investment in R&D for new and improved products is important to the continued growth and success of our overall business, and we will selectively invest in promising opportunities that can be supported within our current financial model. We have several product evaluation programs ongoing which have the potential to develop into significant future business. We expect our current R&D investments to continue to prove to be a prudent investment of our capital resources.

 

 

As described above, our product line covers diverse market segments which are unrelated in terms of customer base, product distribution, market demands and competition. Our external sales team is comprised of independent manufacturer representatives, whose experience is complementary to our product portfolio.  The Company’s continued emphasis on proper product pricing and new marketing campaigns continue to drive more profitable sales.   Our website educates the marketplace about our products as well as generates some online sales.

 

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  direct labor conducting research and development, 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 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 are in addition to revenue, inventory and stock valuation with accounting policies disclosed in our financial statements. The following 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.

 

Valuation of Intangible Assets and Goodwill

 

Patent and trademark costs have been capitalized at September 30, 2020, totaling $487,633 with accumulated amortization of $399,154 for a net book value of $88,479. Patent and trademark costs capitalized at September 30, 2019, the prior year, totaled $487,633 with accumulated amortization of $381,456 for a net book value of $106,177.

 

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. Amortization begins once the patents have been issued. As of September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, there were no pending patents.  Annually, pending or expired patents are inventoried and analyzed, which resulted in the recognition of a loss on abandonment, expiration or retirement of patents and trademarks of $-0- for each of the periods ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

 

 

Amortization expense for the years ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was $4,425 and $4,425 respectively.  The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangibles and reviews the amortization period on a continual basis utilizing the guidance of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.  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, more likely than not, the patents will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.

 

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 sales and cash flows.  These key performance indicators include:

 

 

•  

Revenues, net of returns and trade discounts, which consists of product sales and services and 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 goods sold of our products and the mix of product and license fees, if any;

 

 

•  

Growth in our customer base, which is an indicator of the success of our sales efforts; and

 

 

•  

Distribution of sales across our products offered.

 

The following summary table presents a comparison of our results of operations for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 with respect to certain key financial measures.  The comparisons illustrated in the table are discussed in greater detail below.

Quarter Ended September 30, 2020 Compared to September 30, 2019

 

Net Revenues.  Net revenues of $1,051,286 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, represents an 7.4% increase over net revenues of $979,297 for the same period in 2019. These results exceeded our expectations. We did not expect sales to rebound quickly from the depressed sales levels seen in the previous quarter ending June 30th, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect our polyurethane foam products to continue to constitute the majority of our sales during the remainder of the fiscal year.

 

Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was $707,566 or 67.3% of sales compared to $690,599 or 70.5% of sales for the same period in 2019. This increase in Gross Margin was due to a favorable product mix compared to the year ago period. We have started to see indications that raw material costs, particularly chemical feedstocks, will increase in price due to a tightening of supply in the marketplace. We also expect tariffs to remain in place for the foreseeable future, regardless of the results of the US national elections in November 2020. These scenarios will likely keep pressure on our Gross Margins for the rest of the fiscal year.

 

Gross Profit.  Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was $343,720 compared to $288,698 for the same period in 2019, an increase of $55,022 or 18.7% ,over the same period in 2019.   The September 30, 2020 gross profit reflects a 32.7% gross margin for product sales compared to a gross margin on product sales of 29.5% in 2019.

 

Research & Development Expenses (R&D).  Research and development expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 were $20,471 compared to $26,016 for the same period in 2019. We continue to invest in product formulation and new product development where appropriate to support our business plan.

 

Sales & Marketing Expenses. Sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 were $59,800 as compared to $43,471 for the same period in 2019. The difference between periods reflects higher commission expenses paid during the recent period due to higher sales volumes.

 

General & Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 were $210,486 compared to $193,430 for the same period in 2019, driven by higher compensation costs. We continue to control costs and find more efficient ways to conduct our business activities.

 

Other Income, net.  Other income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was $820 compared to other income of $3,122 for the same period in 2019. The primary driver in this variance is loss on asset disposal of $2,853.

 

Net Income.  Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 of $53,783 compared to a net income of $28,903 for the same period in 2019, an increase in net income of $24,880.

Net Cash (Used)/Provided by Operating Activities. Our primary sources of operating cash during the quarter ended September 30, 2020 came from collections from customers on balances from June 30, 2020 and sales for the quarter. Our primary use of operating cash was an increase in prepaid and other current assets, specifically related to renewal of insurance policies (a normal reoccurrence in our first quarter of fiscal year 2021), increase in inventory levels in preparation for shipment of a large order in early October and a larger accounts payable balance at September 30, 2020 versus June 30, 2020 (a timing variance due to when the quarter ended).  Net cash used by operating activities was $47,493 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $78,859 for the same period in 2019. 

 

Non-cash items include depreciation and amortization and stock based compensation.  Our net income was $53,783 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 compared to a net income of $28,903 for the same period in 2019.  The net income for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 included non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization of $55,062, stock-based compensation of $12,323 and a loss on asset disposal of $2,853.  As of September 30, 2019, depreciation and amortization was $25,194 and stock-based compensation totaled $10,119.

 

Net Cash Used by Investing Activities. Net cased used by investing activities was $-0- for the quarter ended September 30, 2020; as of September 30, 2019 we used $12,641 as we purchased new computers and rebuilt production equipment.

  

Net Cash Used by Financing Activities.  Net cash used by financing activities was $263 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 and $2,842 for the same period in 2019. The use of cash for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 was payment of notes payable.

 

Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash and payments received from our customers.  In February 2020, the Company secured a $50,000 line of credit with a local community bank. As of September 30, 2020, the line had not been used. In April 2020, the Company secured a Small Business Administration Paycheck Protection Program loan for $149,570, which has a term of 2 years at 1% interest. The first payment is expected to be due on or about November 15, 2020. In October 2020, the Company’s bank that brokered this loan has recommended full forgiveness be provided by the Small Business Administration.

 

Historically, management has been reluctant to pursue financing at terms that subject the Company to the high costs of debt, or raise money through the sale of equity at prices we believe do not reflect the true value of the Company. 

 

As part of its effort to maintain adequate working capital levels, Amerityre has not declared dividends on its preferred stock since June 2016. These unpaid dividends have accrued in the amount of $25,000 per quarter since that time. The preferred stock automatically converted on May 13, 2020 into 20,000,000 shares of common stock.

 

We continue to have access to a short-term receivable factoring agreement with a third party to sell our receivable invoices. This agreement enables us to sell individual customer invoices for faster cash flow to the Company. As of March 31, 2020, we have not needed to activate this financing option due to increased focus on enforcement of established collection policies and proactive communication with customers.

 

Cash Position, Outstanding Indebtedness and Future Capital Requirements

 

At November 6, 2020, our total cash balance was $526,702, none of which is restricted; accounts receivables was $384,045; and inventory, net of reserves for slow moving or obsolete inventory, and other current assets was $610,244. Our total indebtedness, specifically which management reviews for cash management, was $1,223,386 and includes $476,962 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $92,844 in current portion of long-term debt, $120,329 in long-term debt and $533,250 in total operating lease liability.

 

We continue to take actions to improve our liquidity and access to capital resources. Management continues to maintain that an equity financing in the current market environment would be too dilutive and not in the best interests of our shareholders. We have been successful in securing a line of credit with our bank, and additional financing was secured in April 2020 from the U.S. government Paycheck Protection Program, a Small Business Administration loan program initiated to combat the negative effects of COVID-19 on U.S. small businesses. These new sources of liquidity have been key tools to provide the Company with the tools to overcome negative effects of the coronavirus on our business.

 

We are focused on the sale and distribution of profitable product lines. Management continues to look for further financing facilities at affordable terms that will allow the Company to maintain sufficient working capital to capitalize on new sales growth opportunities. We are limiting our capital expenditures to that required to maintain current manufacturing capability or support key business initiatives identified in our strategic sales plan.

 

 

In assessing our liquidity, management reviews and analyzes our current cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, capital expenditure commitments and other obligations.  In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2020, we have analyzed our cash needs for the next twelve months. We have concluded that our available cash and accounts receivables are sufficient to meet our current minimum working capital, capital expenditure and other cash requirements for this period.  We expect to limit manufacturing and sales operation investments until the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic can be fully quantified and addressed. Although we have seen a significant increase in business activity in the recent quarter, we are not assured that a resurgence of the COVID-19 virus will not cause another significant decrease in demand from our customers If there is a new shutdown of the economy , we may lack sufficient working capital to meet our needs for the next 12 months.

 

The Company has, on occasion, instituted initiatives to incentivize sales of slower-moving inventory through promotional pricing. These programs will continue to be selectively utilized in the upcoming quarters to monetize inventory, promote individual product lines, and improve our cash flow.

 

As of November 9, 2020, the Company has approximately 25,707,000 shares authorized and available for issuance. Although we are reluctant to raise money through stock sales at what we believe are dilutive share prices, these authorized but unissued and unreserved shares of our common stock can be utilized if necessary, to raise new funds.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not currently have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.
