Forward-looking statements discuss matters that are not historical facts. Because they discuss future events or conditions, forward-looking statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “may,” “seek,” “plan,” “might,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “predict,” “project,” “forecast,” “potential,” “continue” negatives thereof or similar expressions. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, are based on various underlying assumptions and current expectations about the future and are not guarantees. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievement to be materially different from the results of operations or plans expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

We cannot predict all of the risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, such information should not be regarded as representations that the results or conditions described in such statements or that our objectives and plans will be achieved and we do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are found at various places throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and include information concerning possible or assumed future results of our operations, including statements about potential acquisition or merger targets; business strategies; future cash flows; financing plans; plans and objectives of management; any other statements regarding future acquisitions, future cash needs, future operations, business plans and future financial results, and any other statements that are not historical facts.

These forward-looking statements represent our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Many of those factors are outside of our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the events described in the forward-looking statements might not occur or might occur to a different extent or at a different time than we have described. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning other matters addressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Except to the extent required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, a change in events, conditions, circumstances or assumptions underlying such statements, or otherwise.

AmpliTech Group, Inc.
Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2014 (Unaudited)

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of AmpliTech Group, Inc. (“Group” or the “Company”) have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes related thereto for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 included in Form 10-K filed with the SEC.

Going Concern Uncertainty

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 March 31, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficit of $310,040 and a Stockholders’ Deficit of $189,653. Additionally, there was a net loss of $82,110 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and a net loss of $144,494 for the year ended December 31, 2013. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability of 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 additional shares of common stock as well as raising working capital from the issuance of additional equity or debt instruments. Also, the Company plans to improve operations by pursuing new customers, developing new products and expanding its distribution channels, both domestically and internationally, in order to increase sales and improve cash flow. 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.

Inventory

Inventory, which consists primarily of raw materials and finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market (net realizable value). The Inventory value at December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 was as follows;

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic net earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is determined by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic EPS calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities outstanding under the treasury stock method. 
 
As of March 31, 2013 and 2014 there were no potential dilutive common shares that needed to be considered as common share equivalents and, as such, no computation of diluted EPS was necessary for the three months then ended, respectively.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we are an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding advisory “say-on-pay” votes on executive compensation and shareholder advisory votes on golden parachute compensation.
 
Under the JOBS Act, we will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of:

• the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more;
• the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering;
• the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt; and
• the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. We will qualify as a large accelerated filer as of the first day of the first fiscal year after we have (i) more than $700 million in outstanding common equity held by our non-affiliates and (ii) been public for at least 12 months. The value of our outstanding common equity will be measured each year on the last day of our second fiscal quarter.
 
The Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that we may elect to utilize the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards and such election is irrevocable if made. As such, we have made the election to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act.

Results of Operations
 
For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013
 
Revenues
 
Sales increased by $14,693, or approximately 5%, when comparing sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $323,876 to sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $309,183. This increase was directly related to outsourcing the assembly function for certain sales orders to a third party provider in the local Northeast that began in the fourth quarter of 2012. Product sales for both periods were substantially from the sale of Low Noise Amplifiers (“LNA”).
 
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit
 
Cost of Goods Sold, as a percentage of Sales increased by $48,156, or14%, when comparing $169,797, or 53%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $121,641, or 39%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. This increase resulted primarily from an additional $40,932 of outsource assembly costs related to a large sales order from one customer with a lower gross profit margin in the first quarter of 2014.
 
This also resulted in a corresponding decrease of $33,463, or 18%, in Gross Profit as a percentage of Sales when comparing the Gross Profit of $154,079, or 47%, for the first quarter of 2014 to the Gross Profit of $187,542, or 61%, for the first quarter of 2013.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses increased from $156,270 for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $188,426 for the first quarter of 2014, an increase of $32,156, or approximately 21%. This resulted primarily from a $28,917 increase in general overhead expenses in the operating subsidiary relating to payroll and payroll related costs.
 
Other Income (Expenses)
 
Interest Expense increased by $37,430 when comparing the three months ended March 31, 2013 to the three months ended March 31, 2014. This resulted primarily from recognizing, as interest expense, a non-cash $25,380 discount from the beneficial conversion feature related to a convertible note that was fully converted during the first quarter of 2014. There was also a $5,580 gain that was recognized in the first quarter of 2014 resulting from certain debt that was exchanged for common shares above fair market value.
 
 
14

 
 
Net Income (Loss)
 
As a result of the above, the Company had Net Income of $15,359 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to a Net Loss of $82,110 for the three months ended March 31, 2014, an overall decrease of $97,469, or approximately 635%.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We have historically financed our operations through debt from third party lenders, notes issued to various private individuals and personal funds advanced from time to time by the majority shareholder, who is also the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
 
As of March 31, 2014, we had $10,715 in cash and cash equivalents compared to $10,623 in cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014 we had a working capital deficit of $323,897 and $310,040, respectively, and a stockholders’ deficit of $220,243 and $189,653, respectively.
 
Net cash provided by operating activities was $43,705 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The net cash used in financing activities for three months ended March 31, 2013 was $43,613, which results primarily from the repayment of the factor purchase order financing balance, notes and loans, as well as the financed capital lease.
 
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 not provide sufficient working capital to fund our operations for the next twelve months as we estimate that we need an additional $100,000 for such period
 
Going Concern Uncertainty
 
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 March 31, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficit of $310,040 and a Stockholders’ Deficit of $189,653. Additionally, there was a net loss of $82,110 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and a net loss of $144,494 for the year ended December 31, 2013. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the Company hopes to improve its financial condition by the existing Convertible Promissory Note holders electing to convert their notes to equity by issuing additional shares of common stock as well as raising working capital from the issuance of additional equity or debt instruments. Also, the Company plans to improve operations by pursuing new customers, developing new products and expanding its distribution channels, both domestically and internationally, in order to increase sales and improve cash flow. 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.

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 which 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.

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.
 
Earnings (Loss)Per Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is determined by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic EPS calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities(such as stock options and convertible securities) outstanding under the treasury stock method. 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.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues and costs of revenues are recognized during the period in which the products are shipped. The Company applies the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-10, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ASC 605-10, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. ASC 605-10 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue for sale of products when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the collectability is reasonably assured.
 
 
17

 
 
The Company’s sources of revenue are from the sale of various component amplifiers. Revenue is recognizes upon shipment of such products. The Company offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee against defects for 90 days after the sale of their product except for a few circumstances. 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
 
None.
 
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Smaller reporting companies are not required to provide the information required by this item.
 
Item 4. 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 March 31, 2014, 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.
 
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.
