NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

Nano Magic Holdings Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, “Nano Magic” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, develops and sells a portfolio of nano-layer coatings, nano-based cleaners, and nano-composite products based on its proprietary technology, and performs nanotechnology product research and development generating revenues through performing contract services. On March 3, 2020, we changed our name from PEN Inc. to Nano Magic Inc. and on March 2, 2021 we changed our name to Nano Magic Holdings Inc.

Through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Nano Magic LLC, formerly known as PEN Brands LLC, we develop, manufacture and sell consumer and institutional products using nanotechnology to deliver unique performance attributes at the surfaces of a wide variety of substrates. These products are marketed internationally directly to consumers and also to retailers and other institutional customers. On March 31, 2020, PEN Brands LLC changed its name to Nano Magic LLC.

Through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Applied Nanotech, Inc., we primarily perform contract research services for the Company and for governmental and private customers.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and disclosures required by US GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2021 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2021 or any other period. The balance sheet at December 31, 2020 has been derived from the audited financial statement at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and for the year then ended, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on May 28, 2021.

Going Concern Matters and Management’s Plan

As indicated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the company has positive working capital on June 30, 2021 and at December 31, 2020, including $1,694,347 and $288,134 of cash at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The company had cash used by operations of $42,736 for the six-months ended June 30, 2021, and a net loss of $103,200 for the period and a net loss of $781,055 and negative cash flows from operations of $2,001,044 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The consolidated statement of operations also reflects an increase in Product sales of $2,163,064 or 188% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Management has considered whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern in light of the operating losses and historical negative cash flows from operations. Considering the increased sales generating increased revenue, the cash flow for the first two quarters of 2021 and the positive working capital at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company believes that its capital resources are sufficient to maintain its business operations for the next twelve months. Moreover, the Company is implementing a marketing plan under which management projects sales to increase in 2021 and 2022 as compared to 2020 that are expected to contribute additional funds to maintain operations.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. They do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and/or classification of the recorded asset amounts and/or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Description of Preferred and Common Stock

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company may be, from time to time, subject to various administrative, regulatory, and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. On May 28, 2021, we entered into a settlement and release with a former consultant under which we will pay $15,000 in three monthly installments commencing on June 1, 2021.

As of June 30, 2021 we were not a defendant in any proceedings. See Note 9, Subsequent Events, regarding a collection suit previously reported that is settled. Our policy is to accrue costs for contingent liabilities, including legal proceedings or unasserted claims that may result in legal proceedings, when a liability is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

As of June 30, 2021, the Company has not accrued any amount for litigation contingencies.

NOTE 8 – SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s principal operating segments coincide with the types of products to be sold. The products from which revenues are derived are consistent with the reporting structure of the Company’s internal organization. The Company’s two reportable segments for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were the Product segment and the Contract services segment. The Company’s chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the Chairman and CEO, who reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Segment information is presented based upon the Company’s management organization structure as of June 30, 2021 and the distinctive nature of each segment. Future changes to this internal financial structure may result in changes to the reportable segments disclosed. There are no inter-segment revenue transactions and, therefore, revenues are only to external customers. As the Company primarily generates its revenues from customers in the United States, no geographical segments are presented.

Segment operating profit is determined based upon internal performance measures used by the chief operating decision-maker. The Company derives the segment results from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies the Company uses to derive reportable segment results are the same as those used for external reporting purposes. Management measures the performance of each reportable segment based upon several metrics, including net revenues, gross profit and operating loss. Management uses these results to evaluate the performance of, and to assign resources to, each of the reportable segments. The Company manages certain operating expenses separately at the corporate level and does not allocate such expenses to the segments. Segment income from operations excludes interest income/expense and other income or expenses and income taxes according to how a particular reportable segment’s management is measured. Management does not consider impairment charges, and unallocated costs in measuring the performance of the reportable segments.

Segment information available with respect to these reportable business segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was as follows:

SCHEDULE OF SEGMENT INFORMATION 

NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The reduction in mask wearing as a result of the waning of the COVID-19- restrictions as well as the ability for more of the population to be outside during the summer months, drove a drop in sales of anti-fog products that continued into the third quarter. Other effects of the pandemic that affect business generally, for example, labor shortages, also affect us, making it harder for us to hire for both production and salaried positions. Supply chain disruptions also continue, leading to continued long lead times to get materials as well as on-going cost increases.

On August 3, 2021, we were notified of a collection suit for approximately $23,000 plus financing charges. We agreed to a negotiated settlement of the matter in August and the case was dismissed with prejudice on September 1, 2021.

On August 6, 2021 we completed the loan forgiveness application with Fifth Third Bank for the Paycheck Protection Plan loan we received through that bank. On August 11, 2021 we were notified by Amegy Bank that the Small Business Administration had reviewed our loan forgiveness application filed earlier and that the entire amount of the loan to Applied Nanotech Inc. was forgiven.

On August 10, 2021 we issued the option to purchase up to 100,000 shares that had been approved by the Board in May, 2021 in connection with a consulting agreement.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors that have affected our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

OVERVIEW

Nano Magic develops, commercializes, and markets consumer and industrial products enabled by nanotechnology that solve everyday problems for customers in the optical, transportation, military, sports and safety industries. Our primary business is the formulation, marketing and sale of products enabled by nanotechnology including the ULTRA CLARITY brand eyeglass cleaner, CLARITY DEFOGIT brand defogging products and CLARITY ULTRASEAL nanocoating products for glass and ceramics. We also sell an environmentally friendly surface protector, fortifier, and cleaner. Our design center conducts development services for us and for government and private customers and develops and sells printable inks and pastes, thermal management materials, and graphene foils and windows.

Our principal operating segments coincide with our different business activities and types of products sold. This is consistent with our internal reporting structure. Our two reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were (i) the Product Segment and (ii) the Contract services Segment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company operated the same two segments.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following comparative analysis on results of operations was based primarily on the comparative condensed consolidated financial statements, footnotes and related information for the periods identified below and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to those statements that are included elsewhere in this report. The results discussed below are for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

Revenues:

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, revenues consisted of the following:

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, sales from the Product segment increased by $222,335 or 24% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 revenue from the Product segment increased by $2,163,064 or 188%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The increases were due to increased sales to new customers added in 2020, increased internet sales and new retail customers.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, sales from the Contract services segment decreased by $6,251 or 3% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily due to less funding under government research contracts. For the six months ended June 30, 2021 revenue from the Contract services segment decreased by $83,979 or 19%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Cost of revenues

Cost of revenues includes inventory costs, materials and supplies costs, internal labor and related benefits, subcontractor costs, depreciation, overhead and shipping and handling costs incurred and costs related to government and private research contracts in our Contract services segment.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, cost of revenues decreased by $76,362 or 10% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, cost of revenues increased by $818,119 or 71% as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. These changes are reflected in the chart that follows. We have seen some price increases and shortages for some of our raw materials and packaging as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, but thus far we have been able to obtain adequate supply.

Gross profit and gross margin

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, gross profit increased by $292,446 or 74%. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, gross profit increased by $1,260,966 or 277%. Gross profit and gross margin by segment are as follows:

* Gross margin   % based on respective segments revenues.

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the comparable 2020 period, the gross profit in the Product segment increased by $323,943 or 105%. Similarly, for the six months period gross profit increased $1,355,722 or 416% for the period ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the three- and six-month periods the increases were due to product mix, pricing changes and changes in product formulations that improved margin. The gross profit for the Contract research segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $31,497 and $94,756, or 35% and 73%, respectively. The changes in the Contract research segment were primarily due to completion of government contracts without new or renewal research contracts.

Operating expenses

For the three months ended June 30, 2021, operating expenses increased by $478,805 or 71% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Similarly, for the six months period operating expenses increased by $685,813 or 61% for the period ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, operating expenses consisted of the following:

Loss (income) from operations

As a result of the factors described above, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, loss from operations amounted to $468,354 as compared to a loss of $281,995 for the three months ended June 30, 2020, a change of $186,077 or 66%. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, loss from operations amounted to $92,550 as compared to a loss of $657,703 for the six months ended June 30, 2020, an improvement of $556,153 or 84%.

Other non-operating expense (income)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity is the ability of an enterprise to generate adequate amounts of cash to meet its needs for cash requirements. We had working capital of $2,197,673 and $1,694,347 of unrestricted cash as of June 30, 2021 and working capital of $633,572 and $288,134 of unrestricted cash as of December 31, 2020.

The following table sets forth a summary of changes in our working capital from December 31, 2020 to June 30, 2021:

The increase in current assets was due in substantial part to an increase in cash as a result of the sale of equity securities. The decrease in current liabilities was due to a reduction in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and to a reduction in the current portion of lease payments.

Net cash used by operating activities was $(42,736) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $(944,751) for the six months ended June 30, 2020, a net change of $902,015 or 95%. Net cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily resulted from net loss of $(103,200) adjusted for add-backs of $427,126 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $(366,662).

Net cash flow used by investing activities was $(62,883) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and $(316,551) for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,511,832 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 reflecting $1,500,800 in proceeds from sales of common stock and warrants, as compared to net cash provided of $1,268,240 for the same period in 2020.

Future Liquidity and Capital Needs.

Our principal future uses of cash are for working capital requirements, including working capital to support increased product sales, sales and marketing expenses and reduction of accrued liabilities. Application of funds among these uses will depend on numerous factors including our sales and other revenues and our ability to control costs.

Equipment Financing and Loans

On February 10, 2015, Nano Magic entered a $373,000 promissory note (the “Equipment Note”) with KeyBank, N.A. (the “Bank”). The unpaid principal balance of this Equipment Note is payable in 60 equal monthly instalments payments of principal and interest through June 10, 2020. The Equipment Note is secured by certain equipment, as defined in the Equipment Note, and bears interest computed at a rate of interest of 4.35% per annum based on a year of 360 days. At June 30, 2021, the principal amount due under the Equipment Note amounted to $64,042.

On June 18, 2019, Nano Magic entered into an Amendment to the Equipment Note with the Bank. By the amendment, the maturity date of the note was extended until April 10, 2022, the interest rate was raised to 6.29% per year, and the monthly payments were reduced to $4,053 per month, including interest.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we received $105,000 in net proceeds from equipment loans and the bank loan under the Paycheck Protection Program, offset by repayments on loans

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any other financial guarantees or other commitments to guarantee the payment obligations of any third parties. We have not entered into any derivative contracts that are indexed to our shares and classified as shareholder’s equity or that are not reflected in our consolidated unaudited financial statements. Furthermore, we do not have any retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to such entity. We do not have any variable interest in any unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit support to us or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative disclosures about market risk

Not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report (the “Evaluation Date”). Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports was recorded, but we lacked the staff or cash to purchase outside resources to process, summarize, and report within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms.

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control

There were no changes identified in connection with our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses identified at December 31, 2020 are still in the process of being addressed as of June 30, 2021.
