BUSINESS
 
Business Overview
 
We design, engineer and assemble micro-wave component based amplifiers that meet individual customer specifications. Our products consists of RF amplifiers and related subsystems, operating at multiple frequencies from 50kHz to 44GHz, including Low Noise Amplifiers, Medium Power Amplifiers, oscillators, filters, and custom assemblies such as MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) and MIC ( Microwave Integrated Circuit) designs. We also offer non-recurring engineering services on a project-by-project basis, for a predetermined fixed contractual amount, or on a time plus material basis.
 
Our Corporate History and Background
 
We incorporated under the laws of the Nevada on December 30, 2010. From inception until the closing of the Securities Exchange, we were organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business that seeks the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. During that time, we had no revenue and our operations were limited to capital formation, organization and development of our business plan. As a result of the Securities Exchange, we ceased our prior operations and, through Amplitech, we now operate as a designer, manufacturer and distributor of cryogenic microwave amplifiers, RF designs and applications for Wireless Networks and the future of Wireless Communication.
 
On August 13, 2012, we completed a securities exchange whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of AmpliTech, Inc. in exchange for 16,675,000 shares of our common stock which shares constituted approximately 94% of our outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the securities exchange (such transaction as “Securities Exchange”). As a result of the Securities Exchange, we ceased our prior operations and, through Amplitech, Inc., we now operate as a designer, manufacturer and distributor of cryogenic microwave amplifiers, RF designs and applications for wireless networks and the future of wireless communication.
 
Recent Developments
 
Acquisition of Amplitech, Inc.
 
On August 13, 2012, we completed a securities exchange whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Amplitech in exchange for 16,675,000 shares of our common stock which shares constituted approximately 94% of our outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the Securities Exchange.
 
As a result of the Securities Exchange, Amplitech became our wholly owned subsidiary and Fawad Maqbool became our principal stockholders. The Securities Exchange was treated as a recapitalization effected through a securities exchange, with AmpliTech, Inc. as the accounting acquirer and the Company the accounting acquiree.
 
AmpliTech, Inc. incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on October 18, 2002. Immediately prior to the closing of the Securities Exchange, Fawad Maqbool was founder and principal shareholder of AmpliTech, Inc.. AmpliTech, Inc.’s operations to date have consisted of business formation, strategic development, marketing, product development, negotiations with suppliers, product manufacturing and distribution.
 
In connection with the Securities Exchange, Scott R. Chichester resigned as members of our Board of Directors and as officers of the Company, effective upon the closing of the Securities Exchange. Also effective upon closing of the Securities Exchange, Fawad Maqbool was appointed as the Chairman of the Board of Directors to fill the vacancies on our Board of Directors created by the resignation of Chichester. In addition, our Board of Directors appointed Mr. Maqbool as our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Secretary, Louisa Sanfratello as our Chief Financial Officer, all effective upon the closing of the Securities Exchange.

As a result of our acquisition of AmpliTech, Inc., AmpliTech, Inc. became our wholly owned subsidiary and we have assumed the business and operations of AmpliTech, Inc. On July 31, 2012, in anticipation of the closing of the Securities Exchange, we filed with the Secretary of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from Bayview Acquisition Corp to AmpliTech Group, Inc., to more accurately reflect our new business operations.
 
Convertible Notes
 
On August 13, 2012, we assumed certain the obligations and rights under a number of convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $212,500 that were issued by our wholly owned subsidiary AmpliTech, Inc. pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement among the noteholders, AmpliTech, Inc. and us, We cancelled the Original Notes and issued new convertible notes to the original note holders (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes has a six-month term and compounds annually and accrues at 8% per annum from the issue date through the maturity date.  The holders are entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid amount into our common stock at conversion price of $0.10 per share. The holders have “piggyback” registration rights with respect the shares issued or issuable upon conversion.
 
On February 15, 2013, the Company received conversion notices from the holders of the Convertible Notes, whereby the Holders requested the Company to covert, the principal amounts and interests accrued until the notice date, into shares of the Company’s common stock. On February 28, 2012, the Company issued the holders a total of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which are covered on the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-183291), representing their principal amounts dividing by the conversion price, and a total of 119,863 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, to the holders representing their interest accrued through the notice date dividing by the conversion price.
 
OTC Bulletin Board
 
On February 20, 2013, the Company received approval by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for adding the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, effective the next day. The Company’s common stock began to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “AMPG” on February 22, 2013.
 
Our Products
 
Our products consists of RF amplifiers and related subsystems, operating at multiple frequencies from 50kHz to 44GHz, including Low Noise Amplifiers, Medium Power Amplifiers, oscillators, filters, and custom assemblies such as MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit) and MIC ( Microwave Integrated Circuit) designs.
 
Low Noise Amplifiers

Recent Developments
 
Acquisition of Amplitech, Inc.
 
On August 13, 2012, we completed a securities exchange whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of AmpliTech, Inc. in exchange for 16,675,000 shares of our common stock which shares constituted approximately 94% of our outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the securities exchange (such transaction as “Securities Exchange”).
 
As a result of the Securities Exchange, AmpliTech, Inc. became our wholly owned subsidiary and Fawad Maqbool became our principal stockholders. The Securities Exchange was treated as a recapitalization effected through a securities exchange, with AmpliTech, Inc. as the accounting acquirer and the Company the accounting acquiree.
 
In connection with the Securities Exchange, Scott R. Chichester resigned as members of our Board of Directors and as officers of the Company, effective upon the closing of the Securities Exchange. Also effective upon closing of the Securities Exchange, Fawad Maqbool was appointed as the Chairman of the Board of Directors to fill the vacancies on our Board of Directors created by the resignation of Chichester. In addition, our Board of Directors appointed Mr. Maqbool as our President, Chief Executive Officer, and Secretary, Louisa Sanfratello as our Chief Financial Officer, all effective upon the closing of the Securities Exchange.
 
On July 31, 2012, in anticipation of the closing of the Securities Exchange, we filed with the Secretary of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Amendment to our Articles of Incorporation to change our name from Bayview Acquisition Corp to AmpliTech Group, Inc., to more accurately reflect our new business operations.
 
Convertible Notes
 
On August 13, 2012, we assumed certain the obligations and rights under a number of convertible notes in an aggregate principal amount of $212,500 that were issued by our wholly owned subsidiary AmpliTech, Inc. pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement among the noteholders, AmpliTech, Inc. and us, We cancelled the Original Notes and issued new convertible notes to the original note holders (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes has a six-month term and compounds annually and accrues at 8% per annum from the issue date through the maturity date.  The holders are entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid amount into our common stock at conversion price of $0.10 per share. The holders have “piggyback” registration rights with respect the shares issued or issuable upon conversion.
 
On February 15, 2013, the Company received conversion notices from the holders of the Convertible Notes, whereby the Holders requested the Company to covert, the principal amounts and interests accrued until the notice date, into shares of the Company’s common stock. On February 28, 2012, the Company issued the holders a total of 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which are covered on the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-183291), representing their principal amounts dividing by the conversion price, and a total of 119,863 shares of the Company’s restricted common stock, to the holders representing their interest accrued through the notice date dividing by the conversion price.

OTC Bulletin Board
 
On February 20, 2013, the Company received approval by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) for adding the Company’s common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board, effective the next day. The Company’s common stock has become quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol “AMPG” on February 22, 2013.
 
Results of Operations
 
Our auditor has indicated in their report on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 that conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our recurring losses from operations, deficit in equity, and the need to raise additional capital to fund operations. A “going concern” opinion could impair our ability to finance our operations through the sale of debt or equity securities.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficit of $599,787 and an accumulated deficit of $672,476. Additionally, there was a net loss of $192,995 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and there was minimal profit of $9,853 for the year ended December 31, 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives.  We plan to improve the Company’s financial condition by raising working capital from the issuance of additional notes with equity convertible features and pursue new customers and acquisition prospects to improve our operational results. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing these objectives. If adequate funds are not available, our business would be jeopardized and we may not be able to continue. If we ceased operations, it is likely that all of our investors would lose their investment.
 
For Years Ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011
 
Revenues
 
Sales increased to $996,995 for the year ended December 31, 2012 from $906,829 for the year ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $90,166, or approximately 10%. This increase results primarily from several larger orders from certain overseas customers for the sale of low power amplifiers units for 2012 as compared to 2011.
 
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
 
Cost of Goods Sold increased from $348,194 in 2011 to $597,090 in 2012, an increase of $248,896, or approximately 71%. This increase was the direct result of selling units on larger orders at a significantly reduced gross margin. As a result, the gross profit declined to $399,905 for 2012 compared to $558,635 for 2011, a decrease of $158,730, and the gross margin declined to approximately 40% for 2012 compared to approximately 62% for 2011.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses increased from $479,758 in 2011 to $516,328 in 2012, an increase of $36,570, or approximately 8%. This increase was the direct result of legal, accounting and consulting fees incurred related to the Company’s filing of registration statement on Form S-1 in 2012.
 
Other Income (Expenses)
 
Interest Expense increased $18,237 when comparing the year ended December 31, 2011 to the year ended December 31, 2012. This increase results directly from financing in 2012 related to the Capital Lease obligation as well as accrued interest related to the Convertible Notes.
 
Net Income (Loss)
 
As a result of the reduced gross profit and increase in general and administrative expenses described above from 2011 to 2012, the Company had a net loss of $192,995 in 2012 compared to net income of $9853 in 2011. This represents an overall decrease of $202,848 from 2011 to 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We have historically financed our operations through debt from third party lenders, notes issued to various private individuals and funds advanced from the majority shareholder, who is also the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
 
As of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $27,716 and $54,038, respectively, a working capital deficit of $599,787 and $290,061, respectively, and an accumulated deficit of $672,476 and $485,822, respectively.
 
The net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $62,817, which was primarily the result of a decrease in accounts receivable and the tax credit receivable. The net cash used by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $68,951, which resulted primarily from a decrease in customer deposits, accounts payable and accrued expenses
 
The net cash used by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $86,239, where funds raised from the issuance of notes were used to make repayments for existing loan, notes and capital lease as well as advanced from our majority shareholder, President and Chief Executive Officer to the Company. Net cash provided by financing activities was $128,128 for the year ended December 31, 2011, which results primarily from factor financing advances against accounts receivable as collateral.
 
We intend to finance our internal growth with cash on hand, cash provided from operations, borrowings, debt or equity offerings, or some combination thereof. We believe that our cash provided from operations and cash on hand will provide sufficient working capital to fund our operations for the next twelve months.
 
Financing Activities
 
In September 2011, we entered into a Master Factoring Agreement with a private lender to finance 80% of Domestic Accounts Receivable, with recourse, plus 40% of Domestic Sales Orders. The total credit facility is $300,000, including a maximum of $50,000 to finance Domestic Sales Orders until such time as they are converted to Accounts Receivable. The discount fee charged by the Factor to finance the Accounts Receivable is 2% of the customer invoice for the first thirty days, plus 1% for each fifteen-day period thereafter to a maximum of ninety days at which time the invoice is charged back to the Company with full recourse. The discount fee related to financed Sales Orders is 2% per each thirty day period until converted to Accounts Receivable. A factoring arrangement is significantly more expensive than traditional accounts receivable financing, which the Company could not obtain given a history of operating losses, a working capital deficit and an accumulated deficit. The Company needed this factoring arrangement to increase production, fulfill customer orders in a timely manner and reduce the backlog of sales orders to a manageable level.
 
Beginning in April 2012, the Company issued a series of six month Convertible Promissory Notes totaling $212,500. These notes accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum and are convertible, at the sole discretion of the holder, into shares of common stock representing a 1.25% equity interest in Amplitech, on a fully diluted basis, for each $25,000 invested. On February 15, 2013, the holders of the Convertible Promissory Notes outstanding at December 31, 2012 with a principle balance of $200,000 elected to convert the notes to 2,000,000 shares of the Company common stock. The shares underlying these notes were registered in the S-1 filed with the SEC that was declared effective on January 18, 2013. As such, these shares of common stock were issued as free trading. In addition, these notes accrued interest through the date of conversion in the amount of $11,986. Pursuant to the Convertible Promissory Note terms, Group issued an additional 119,863 restricted common shares in full payment of the accrued interest due each note holder.

In May 2012, the Company acquired certain testing equipment under the terms of a capital lease valued at approximately $159,000. The lease term is for three years with monthly payments of $4,849, including interest at 6% per annum.
 
On February 1, 2013, the Company issued a promissory note in a principal amount of $50, in exchange for the holder’s cancellation of two notes held by him and issued by the Company in 2012. On February 8, 2013, the Company issued a promissory note in a principal amount of $50,000. The terms and conditions of this note are identical to that of the Convertible Notes as described above, which means, that these two notes have a six-month term and compounds annually and accrues at 8% per annum from the issue date through the maturity date, the holders are entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid amount into our common stock at conversion price of $0.10 per share, and the holders have “piggyback” registration rights with respect the shares issued or issuable upon conversion.
 
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions
 
The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management's view, most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and those that require significant judgments and estimates.
 
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability and recoverability of inventory, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
We cannot predict what future laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. We assess the impact of significant changes in laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements when we deem it necessary.
 
Basis of Accounting
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
 
14

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers deposits that can be redeemed on demand and investments that have original maturities of less than three months, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Company’s cash and cash equivalents were deposited primarily in one financial institution.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of Accounts Receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change in the future.

Depreciation and Amortization

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally, accelerated depreciation methods) for tax purposes where appropriate. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 “Income Tax”. ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of certain assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
 
Income (Loss)Per Common Share
 
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares (such as stock options and convertible securities) had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the periods presented.
 
 
15

 

Inventory Obsolescence
 
Inventory quantities and related values are analyzed at the end of each fiscal quarter to determine those items that are slow moving or obsolete. An inventory reserve is recorded for those items determined to be slow moving with a corresponding charge to cost of goods sold. Inventory items that are determined obsolete are written off currently with a corresponding charge to cost of goods sold.

Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis immediately as a sale based on FOB shipping point. There are no maintenance or service contracts related to any product sale.
 
Use of Estimates
 
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 and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Off Balance Sheet Transactions
 
As of December 31, 2012, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors of
AmpliTech Group, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AmpliTech Group, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of the Company as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended were in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 16 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from the year of 2012 and generated minimal profit in the year of 2011, and has experienced working capital deficit, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to those matters are also described in Note 16 to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

AmpliTech Group, Inc.
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
For The Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2012

(1)   Organization and Business Description

AmpliTech, Inc. (“AmpliTech” or “the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on October 18, 2002. AmpliTech designs, engineers and assembles micro-wave component based low noise amplifiers (“LNA”) that meet individual customer specifications. Application of the Company’s proprietary technology results in maximum frequency gain with minimal background noise distortion as required by each customer. The Company has both domestic and international customers in such industries as aerospace, governmental, defense and commercial satellite.

On August 13, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), AmpliTech Group, Inc. (f/k/a Bayview Acquisition Corporation) (“Group”) acquired AmpliTech, by issuing 16,675,000 shares of its Common Stock, constituting 100% of the outstanding shares of AmpliTech. Also pursuant to the Share Exchange agreement, the shareholders of Group were issued an additional 741,600 shares of Common Stock on the Closing Date. These shares plus the 458,400 Group shares issued and outstanding prior to closing the share exchange on August 13, 2012 total 1,200,000 shares, or 6% on a fully diluted basis. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which AmpliTech is deemed to be the accounting acquirer, and the prior operations of Group are consolidated for accounting purposes. The capital balances have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse acquisition.

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers deposits that can be redeemed on demand and investments that have original maturities of less than three months, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2011 and 2012 the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were deposited primarily in one financial institution.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of Accounts Receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change in the future.

Depreciation and Amortization

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally, accelerated depreciation methods) for tax purposes where appropriate. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 “Income Tax”. ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of certain assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. At December 31, 2011 and 2012, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits.

Income (Loss)Per Common Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss attributable to the common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if potentially dilutive common shares (such as stock options and convertible securities) had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.  There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the periods presented.

Inventory Obsolescence
 
Inventory quantities and related values are analyzed at the end of each fiscal quarter to determine those items that are slow moving or obsolete. An inventory reserve is recorded for those items determined to be slow moving with a corresponding charge to cost of goods sold. Inventory items that are determined obsolete are written off currently with a corresponding charge to cost of goods sold.

For The Years Ended December 31, 2011 and 2012

Revenue Recognition
 
Revenue is recognized on an accrual basis immediately as a sale based on FOB shipping point. There are no maintenance or service contracts related to any product sale.

Use of Estimates
 
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 and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04. The amendments in this ASU generally represent clarifications of ASC 820, but also include some instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed.  This ASU results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  The amendments in this ASU are to be applied prospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption by public entities is not permitted.  The Company will adopt the methodologies prescribed by this ASU by the date required and does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05. Under the amendments in this ASU, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. This ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. The amendments in this ASU do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income.
 
The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively. For public entities, the amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted.  The amendments do not require any transition disclosures. Due to the recent nature of this pronouncement, the Company is evaluating when it will adopt of ASU 2011-05, but it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment. This ASU would allow an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under the ASU, an entity would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The ASU includes a number of factors to consider in conducting the qualitative assessment.  The ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  Early adoption is permitted. This standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

(6)   Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred Financing Costs of $17,792 were incurred directly related to a Small Business Administration (“SBA”) funded loan the Company obtained in 2008 and are being amortized on a straight line basis over ten years. Accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2011 and 2012 was $6,227 and $8,006, respectfully. Amortization expense for both 2011 and 2012 was $1,779.
 
(7)   Convertible Notes Payable

Beginning in April 2012, the Company issued a series of six month Convertible Promissory Notes totaling $212,500.  These notes accrued interest at a rate of 8% per annum and are convertible, at the sole discretion of the holder, into shares of common stock representing a 1.25% equity interest in Amplitech, on a fully diluted basis, for each $25,000 invested.

On August 13, 2012, the closing date of the shares exchange, AmpliTech, Group and each note holder executed an Assignment and Assumption Agreement whereby AmpliTech assigned and Group assumed, and agreed to by each note holder, the obligation related to the convertible notes held by AmpliTech. Also on that date, each note holder received a new Convertible Promissory Note for the balance of the original six month term. The new notes also accrued interest at 8% per annum and are convertible, at the sole discretion of the holder, into shares of Group common stock at $.10 per share. The Company determined that the fair market value of the common shares underlying the convertible notes was equal to the estimated fair market of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance. As such, there is no beneficial conversion feature related to these convertible notes that needs to be recorded as a discount on the date of issuance.

In December 2012 the Company repaid a note holder $6,250, plus accrued interest of $707, which represented one half of the principle balance due. Accrued interest at December 31, 2012 related to the balance of the convertible notes was $9,989. Interest expense for 2012 was $10,696. In February 2013, convertible notes totaling $200,000 were converted into 2,000,000 shares of Group common stock (See Note 17).
 
(8)   Notes Payable

A note from an individual for $25,000 dated March 1, 2011 was due on May 31, 2011 together with interest at a rate of 2% per annum. AmpliTech defaulted on this note and in March 2012 entered into a settlement agreement to repay $25,500, including interest of $500, plus $2,981 for legal fees and related expenses. The settlement stipulated four consecutive monthly payments of $2,500 beginning in March 2012 with the balance of $18,481 payable in July 2012. This note was paid in full as of July 31, 2012.

(9)   Factor Financing

The total credit facility is $300,000, including a maximum of $50,000 to finance Domestic Sales Orders until such time as they are converted to Accounts Receivable. The discount fee charged by the Factor to finance the Accounts Receivable is 2% of the customer invoice for the first thirty days, plus 1% for each fifteen day period thereafter to a maximum of ninety days at which time the invoice is charged back to the Company with full recourse. The discount fee related to financed Sales Orders is 2% per each thirty day period until converted to Accounts Receivable. The outstanding balances owed to the Factor at December 31, 2011 and 2012 for financed Accounts Receivable $94,363 and $17,280, respectively. The outstanding balances owed at December 31, 2011 and 2012 for financed Domestic Sales Orders was $50,000 and $32,774, respectively.

The discount fee related to this balance is 2% per each thirty day period until payment is received from New York State. This advance was converted to a six month Promissory Note on December 6, 2011, ninety days from the original advance date, with accrued discount fees of $3,426 recorded at that time. This Note is payable each month based on a fixed principal payment of $6,689, plus interest on the unpaid balance at approximately 29% per annum.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates the Company continuing as a going concern. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had a working capital deficit of $599,787 and an Accumulated Deficit of $672,476. Additionally, there was a net loss of $192,995 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and there was minimal profit of $9,853 for the year ended December 31, 2011. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. However, the Company plans to improve its financial condition by converting the existing Convertible Promissory Notes to equity by issuing shares of common stock as well as raising working capital from the issuance of additional Convertible Promissory Notes (See Note 17). Also, the Company plans to pursue new customers and acquisition prospects in order to improve operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing these objectives. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 9A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
 
Based on the evaluation as of December 31, 2012, for the reasons set forth below, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to our management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
 
Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, and based on that evaluation they concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective.
 
The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that re-evaluation due to material weakness identified below, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports was (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, because of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.
 
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

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

Mr. Maqbool was appointed as our Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer and Secretary on August 13, 2012 upon the closing of the Share Exchange. On August 22, 2012, Mr. Maqbool resigned as the Company’s Secretary.

Ms. Sanfratello was appointed as our Chief Financial Officer on August 13, 2012 upon the closing of the Share Exchange. On August 22, 2012, Ms. Sanfratello was appointed as the Company’s Secretary.

A brief description of the background and business experience of our sole executive officer and director for the past five years is as follows:
 
Fawad Maqbool, age 52, has served as the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors since founding Amplitech, Inc. 2002. He has also been the majority shareholder of the Company since its inception. Prior to founding Amplitech, Inc., Mr. Maqbool was the President of Aeroflex Amplicomm, Inc. for 2000 and 2001. His duties included, among other things, overseeing the design and development of amplifiers specifically for fiber optic communication applications. Mr. Maqbool was with MITEQ, Inc. from 1987 through 1999 where he began as an Engineering Group Leader and ultimately held the title of Department Head responsible for a staff of thirty-two consisting of engineers, technicians, assemblers and support personnel. His professional career began with the Hazeltine Corporation in 1983 where he was a Microwave Design Engineer through 1986. Mr. Maqbool received bachelor degrees in electrical engineering (major in microwaves and RF) and biomedical engineering from the City College of New York. He subsequently earned a masters degree in electrical engineering (major in microwaves and RF) from Polytechnic University.
 
 
18

 

Through his prior service, Mr. Maqbool possesses the knowledge and experience in microwaves and RF electrical engineering that aids him in efficiently and effectively indentifying and executing the Company’s strategic priorities.
 
Louisa Sanfratello, CPA, age 48, has been a self-employed independent accountant servicing numerous clients in various industries since 1998. One of her clients is the local chapter of Make a Wish Foundation where she serves as the Treasurer. Ms. Sanfratello was the Controller of The New Interdisciplinary School from 1991 through 1997 where she was responsible for the preparation of financial statements and coordination of all outside audits, reporting directly to the executive director. Her duties included the day-to-day financial management of the organization including projection of cash flow requirements. Ms. Sanfratello began her professional career in 1987 with the public accounting firm of Holtz Rubenstein & Company where she was a member of the audit staff until 1990. Ms. Sanfratello received a bachelor degree (magna cum laude) in business administration – accounting from Dowling College.
 
Term of Office

Our sole director is appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our stockholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our Board of Directors and holds office until removed by the Board of Directors.
 
There are no agreements or understandings between Mr. Maqbool and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Maqbool was selected as a director or executive officer.
 
Family Relationships
 
There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers.

Involvement in Legal Proceedings

To our knowledge, there have been no material legal proceedings that would require disclosure under the federal securities laws that are material to an evaluation of the ability of our director or executive officers.
 
Potential Conflicts of Interest
 
We are not aware of any current or potential conflicts of interest with our director or executive officers.
 
Board Committees
 
We have not formed an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as of the filing of this Annual Report. Our Board of Directors performs the principal functions of an Audit Committee. We currently do not have an audit committee financial expert on our Board of Directors. We believe that an audit committee financial expert is not required because the cost of hiring an audit committee financial expert to act as one of our directors and to be a member of an Audit Committee outweighs the benefits of having an audit committee financial expert at this time.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and are required to furnish us with copies of these reports. Based solely on our review of the reports filed with the SEC, we believe that all persons subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act timely filed all required reports in 2012, other than as set forth below:

Mr. Chichester served as our President since inception and resigned as from such position on August 13, 2012 upon the closing of the Securities Exchange.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End
 
Except as indicated in the above table, none of our executive officers received any equity awards, including, options, restricted stock or other equity incentives during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
 
Compensation of Our President and Chief Executive Officer
 
Fawad Maqbool, as our sole director, has authority and discretion to determine his own compensation for serving as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
 
Compensation of Directors
 
During the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the former sole director Scott R. Chichester and the current sole director Fawad Maqbool did not receive any compensation solely for service as a director.
 
Our sole director Fawad Maqbool will not receive any compensation solely for service as a director. It is our current policy that our director is reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending each board of directors meeting or meeting of a committee of the board of directors.
 
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
During the fiscal years of 2012 and 2011, we did not have a standing compensation committee. Our board of directors was responsible for the functions that would otherwise be handled by the compensation committee. The sole director conducted deliberations concerning executive officer compensation, including directors who were also executive officers. Fawad Maqbool, as our sole director, has authority and discretion to determine his own compensation for serving as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.
 
Item 12.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
 
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our voting securities by (i) each director and named executive officer, (ii) all executive officers and directors as a group; and (iii) each shareholder known to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company as of April 9, 2013.
 
 
21

 
 
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Generally, a person is considered to beneficially own securities: (i) over which such person, directly or indirectly, exercises sole or shared voting or investment power, and (ii) of which such person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within 60 days (such as through exercise of stock options or warrants). For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares held by each person or group of persons, any shares that such person or persons has the right to acquire within 60 days of April 9, 2013 are deemed to be outstanding, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The inclusion herein of any shares listed as beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership. Unless otherwise indicated below, the address of each person listed in the table below is c/o 35 Carlough Rd. #3, Bohemia, NY 11716.

Item 13.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIP AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
 
The following sets forth a summary of transactions since the beginning of the fiscal year of 2011, or any currently proposed transaction, in which the Company was to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described under “Executive Compensation”). We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions.
 
·   
Our officer and director Fawad Maqbool, who is the majority stockholder, advanced to the Company for working capital. The amount due is unsecured, non-interest bearing and is payable upon demand. The highest principal amount of such advance was $85,611, of which $23,392 and $54,663 were repaid during 2011 and 2012, respectively. The balance at December 31, 2012 was $7,673.
 
 
22

 
 
Policies and Procedures for Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
 
We expect to prepare and adopt a written related-person transactions policy that sets forth our policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and approval or ratification of “related-persons transactions.” For purposes of our policy only, a “related-person transaction” will be a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we and any “related person” are participants involving an amount that exceeds $120,000 or one percent of the average of the Company’s total assets at the year-end for 2011 and 2010. Transactions involving compensation for services provided to us as an employee, director, consultant or similar capacity by a related person will not be covered by this policy. A related person will be any executive officer, director or a holder of more than five percent of our common stock, including any of their immediate family members and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.
 
We anticipate that, where a transaction has been identified as a related-person transaction, the policy will require management to present information regarding the proposed related-person transaction to our audit committee (or, where approval by our audit committee would be inappropriate, to another independent body of our board of directors) for consideration and approval or ratification. Management’s presentation will be expected to include a description of, among other things, the material facts, the direct and indirect interests of the related persons, the benefits of the transaction to us and whether any alternative transactions are available.
 
To identify related-person transactions in advance, we are expected to rely on information supplied by our executive officers, directors and certain significant shareholders. In considering related-person transactions, our board of directors will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to:
 
·   
the risks, costs and benefits to us;
·   
the effect on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;
·   
the terms of the transaction;
·   
the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and
·   
the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties or to or from our employees generally.
 
We also expect that the policy will require any interested director to excuse himself or herself from deliberations and approval of the transaction in which the interested director is involved.
 
Director Independence
 
Fawad Maqbool, the sole member of our Board of Directors, is not independent using the definition of independence under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) and the standards established by the SEC.

All Other Fees
 
We did not incur any other fees related to services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
 
The SEC requires that before our independent registered public accounting firm is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be either: (i) approved by our Audit Committee or (ii) entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee, provided that the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the Audit Committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to management.
 
We do not have an Audit Committee. Our Board of Directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. All of the above services and fees during 2012 were pre-approved by our Board of Directors. We do not have a record of the percentage of the above fees that were pre-approved in 2011. However, all of the above services in 2011 were reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
