PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, CONTINUED:
 
United States Antimony Corporation and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
1.
Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, as well as the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2019.
 
For further information refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
 
Going Concern Consideration
 
At June 30, 2019, the Company’s consolidated financial statements show negative working capital of approximately $2.7 million and accumulated deficit of approximately $26.9 million.  In addition, the Company has a net loss of $1,193,499 for the six month period ended June 30, 2019, and the Company has had recurring operating losses for most of the prior periods.  These factors indicate that there may be doubt regarding the ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months. 
 
The continuing losses are principally a result of the falling prices of antimony and the Company’s antimony operations and production costs incurred in Mexico.
 
Regarding the antimony division, prices decreased approximately 13% in the first six months of 2019 compared to the same period in the prior year.  For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the average sale price for antimony was approximately $3.73 per pound compared to a price of $4.28 per pound for the six months ended June 30, 2018. During 2018, we endured supply interruptions from our North American supplier, but shipments have resumed, although at a lower level than years prior to 2018. A new supply agreement negotiated with our North American supplier in 2017 has helped us with cash flow from our antimony division in 2018, but falling prices for antimony have caused us to see a need for a better supply agreement in 2019.
 
In 2017, we reduced costs for labor at the Mexico locations which has resulted in a lower overall production costs in Mexico and we adjusted operating approaches at Madero that resulted in decreased operating costs for fuel, natural gas, electricity, and reagents for 2018 and 2019. In June of 2019, we again reached agreement with our miners in Mexico to reduce labor costs, and we completed installation of one of the large rotating furnaces (LRFs) we obtained from the Lanxess transaction, which has resulted in lower operating costs. The Company’s 2019 plan involves ramping up production at our antimony properties in Mexico, and installing additional LRFs obtained from Lanxess. Our expectations are that in the second half of 2019 we can substantially increase the antimony output from our Mexican properties from the 2018 production. We are producing and selling antimony metal directly from Mexico to customers which will save us approximately $0.38 per pound in processing costs and freight. In addition, a new leach circuit expected to come on line during 2019 in Mexico will result in more extraction of precious metals. The portion of the precious metals recovery system at the Madero smelter is complete and the cyanide leach circuit being built at the Puerto Blanco plant is expected to be completed and tested in the third quarter of 2019. We expect to be receiving income from the production of precious metals some time during the fourth quarter of 2019. We believe that with the lower cost per pound due to increased production and the savings from shipping metal directly from

Going Concern Consideration, continued
 
Mexico, we will have positive cash flow for Mexican antimony production by the end of the year and that we will be selling precious metals produced from Los Juarez before the end of 2019. Our orders for antimony were slow during the latter part of the second quarter of 2019, which we believe was caused by the uncertainties of trade with China.
 
Over the past several years, the Company has been able to make required principal payments on its debt from cash generated from operations without the need for additional borrowings or selling shares of its common stock. The Company plans to continue keeping current on its debt payments in 2019 through cash flows from operations while we continue with the expansion of our Mexican operation. As of August 14, 2019, we have received payment and are in the process of completing a common stock private placement for $444,160 to complete the precious metals circuit at our Puerto Blanco milling facility, and to make cost saving repairs at our Montana smelter. Management believes that the actions taken to increase our capital, and to increase production and revenue from both antimony and precious metals, along with a reduction in production costs, will enable the Company to meet its obligations for the next twelve months.

Developments in Accounting Pronouncements
 
Accounting Standards Updates Adopted
 
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842).  The update modified the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases.  The update was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.  Adoption of this update as of January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718):  Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  The update involves simplification of several aspects of accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions by expanding the scope of Topic 718 to include nonemployee awards.  The update was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.  Adoption of this update as of January 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Accounting Standards Updates to Become Effective in Future Periods
 
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820):  Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.  The update removes, modifies and makes additions to the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements.  The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted.  Management is evaluating the impact of this update on the Company’s fair value measurement disclosures.

Income (Loss) Per Common Share
 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus the effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents, including warrants to purchase the Company's common stock and convertible preferred stock.
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the potentially dilutive common stock equivalents not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive are as follows:

Revenue Recognition
 
Our products consist of the following:
Antimony: includes antimony oxide, sodium antimonate, antimony trisulfide, and antimony metal
Zeolite: includes coarse and fine zeolite crushed in various sizes
Precious Metals: includes unrefined and refined gold and silver
 
For our antimony and zeolite products, revenue is recognized upon the completion of the performance obligation which is met when the transaction price can be reasonably estimated and revenue is recognized generally at the time when risk is transferred. We have determined the performance obligation is met and title is transferred either upon shipment from our warehouse locations or upon receipt by the customer as specified in individual sales orders. The performance obligation is met because at that time, 1) legal title is transferred to the customer, 2) the customer has accepted the product and obtained the ability to realize all of the benefits from the product, 3) the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership to it, 4) it is very unlikely product will be rejected by the customer upon physical receipt, and 5) we have the right to payment for the product. Shipping costs related to the sales of antimony and zeolite products are recorded to cost of sales as incurred. For zeolite products, royalty expense due a third party by the Company is also recorded to cost of sales upon sale in accordance with terms of underlying royalty agreements.
 
For sales of precious metals, the performance obligation is met, the transaction price is known, and revenue is recognized at the time of transfer of control of the agreed-upon metal quantities to the customer. Refining and shipping costs related to sales of precious metals are recorded to cost of sales as incurred.

Our trade accounts receivable balance related to contracts with customers was $417,005 at June 30, 2019 and $438,391 at December 31, 2018. Our products do not involve any warranty agreements and product returns are not typical.
 
We have determined our contracts do not include a significant financing component. For antimony and zeolite sales contracts, we may factor certain receivables and receive final payment within 30 days of the performance obligation being met. For antimony and zeolite receivables not factored, we typically receive payment within 10 days. For precious metals sales, a provisional payment of 75% is typically received within 45 days of the date the product is delivered to the customer. After an exchange of assays, a final payment is normally received within 90 days of product delivery.

Accounts Receivable and Due to Factor
 
The Company factors designated trade receivables pursuant to a factoring agreement with LSQ Funding Group L.C., an unrelated factor (the “Factor”).  The agreement specifies that eligible trade receivables are factored with recourse. We submit selected trade receivables to the factor, and receive 83% of the face value of the receivable by wire transfer. The Factor withholds 15% as retainage, and 2% as a servicing fee. Upon payment by the customer, we receive the remainder of the amount due from the factor. The 2% servicing fee is recorded on the consolidated statement of operations in the period of sale to the factor. John Lawrence, CEO, is a personal guarantor of the amount due to Factor. 
 
Trade receivables assigned to the Factor are carried at the original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts.  Under the terms of the recourse provision, the Company is required to reimburse the Factor, upon demand, for factored receivables that are not paid on time.  Accordingly, these receivables are accounted for as a secured financing arrangement and not as a sale of financial assets.  The allowance for doubtful accounts (if any) is based on management’s regular evaluation of individual customer’s receivables and consideration of a customer’s financial condition and credit history.  Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible.  Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received.  Interest is not charged on past due accounts.
 
We present the receivables, net of allowances, as current assets and we present the amount potentially due to the Factor as a secured financing in current liabilities.

Related Party Transactions
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Chairman of the audit committee and compensation committee received $4,500, and $9,000, respectively, for services performed. No compensation was received during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2019. See Note 12 for shares of common stock issued to directors.
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company paid $3,480 and $2,461, respectively, compared to $5,064, and $4,555 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, to John Lawrence, our President and Chief Executive Officer, as reimbursement for equipment used by the Company. Mr. Lawrence advanced the Company $227,200 for ongoing operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2019. In addition to the loan that was owed to Mr. Lawrence at June 30, 2019, the Company also owed Mr. Lawrence for payroll and other liabilities equal to $129,702 for a total owed to Mr. Lawrence at June 30, 2019 of $356,902.

Income Taxes
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, and the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company determined that a valuation allowance equal to 100% of any deferred tax asset was appropriate, as management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not the Company will realize the benefit of its net deferred tax asset. The net effect is that the deferred tax asset is fully reserved for at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Management estimates the effective tax rate at 0% for the current year.

Plant Acquisition
 
On August 31, 2018, the Company closed a Member Interest and Capital Share Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Great Lakes Chemical Corporation and Lanxess Holding Company US Inc., as the sellers, and the Company as the buyer. Under the Agreement, the Company acquired a subsidiary of the sellers which includes an antimony plant, equipment and land located in Reynosa, Mexico.  The Company disassembed, salvaged and transported the antimony plant and equipment for use in its existing operations in both Mexico and the United States. The project involved moving heavy equipment and was completed in the second quarter of 2019.  In addition, the Company was paid $1,500,000 by the sellers, which was recognized as operating income in the quarter ended September 30, 2018, to assist in the salvage and transport costs of the useable equipment. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition as there was no business associated with the acquired assets. The real property acquired with the plant was sold for $700,000 in November 2018, for which the Company received $300,000 in 2018 and the remaining balance of $400,000 in the three month period ended March 31, 2019.

Business Segments
 
The Company is currently organized and managed by four segments, which represent our operating units: United States antimony operations, Mexican antimony operations, precious metals recovery and United States zeolite operations.
 
The Madero smelter and Puerto Blanco mill at the Company’s Mexico operation produces crude oxide and crude metal that is shipped to Montana for finishing at the Thompson Falls, Montana, plant, or finished antimony metal that is sold directly to customers in the United States. The precious metals recovery plant is operated in conjunction with the antimony processing plant at Thompson Falls, Montana. The zeolite operation produces zeolite near Preston, Idaho. Almost all of the sales of products from the United States antimony and zeolite operations are to customers in the United States.
 
Segment disclosure regarding sales to major customers is located in Note 4.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION, CONTINUED:
 
ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition, continued:
 
Company-Wide
 
For the second quarter of 2019, we recognized a net loss of $486,039 on sales of $2,272,283, after depreciation and amortization of $223,273. We reported a net loss of $122,785 in the second quarter of 2018 on sales of $2,256,347, after depreciation and amortization of $175,097.
 
For the first six months of 2019, we recognized a net loss of $1,193,499 on sales of $4,728,648, after depreciation and amortization of $446,546. For the first six months of 2018, we reported a net loss of $597,225 on sales of $4,689,276, after depreciation and amortization of $452,659.
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, EBITDA was ($262,766) and ($746,954), compared to an EBITDA of $52,312 and ($144,546) for the same periods of 2018.
 
Net non-cash expense items totaled $272,572 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and included $223,272 for depreciation and amortization, $18,050 for amortization of debt discount, and $31,250 for director compensation. Net non-cash expense items totaled $681,146 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and included $446,546 for depreciation and amortization, $36,338 of debt discount, $136,000 for common stock issued for services, and $62,500 for director compensation.
 
Net non-cash expense items totaled $287,780 for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and included $175,097 for depreciation and amortization, $21,120 for amortization of debt discount, $43,750 for director compensation and $47,813 for other items. Net non-cash expense items totaled $572,065 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and included $452,659 for depreciation and amortization, $42,240 of debt discount, $87,500 for director compensation and $(10,334) for other items.
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, general and administrative expenses were $153,909 and $359,083, respectively, compared to $186,411 and $337,242 for the same periods in 2018.
 
The falling price for antimony was the primary reason for the increases in our year-over-year losses. Also, in the first half of 2019, we were involved in dismantling furnaces and equipment at Reynosa, Mexico, and moving it to our other operations in Mexico. We also spent time and money preparing our Los Juarez precious metals project for operation and installing furnaces at the Madero smelter. These projects negatively affected our profits.
 
Antimony
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold 418,129 and 861,277 pounds of antimony compared to 326,258 and 742,222 pounds for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in sales volume was 28.1% and 16.0% for the six months ending June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We had a increase in raw material from Mexico of approximately 77,000 pounds for the second quarter of 2019, and an increase of approximately 134,000 pounds for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same periods from a year ago.
 
The average sales price of antimony during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was $3.61 and $3.73 per pound compared to $4.57 and $4.28 during the same periods in 2018. This was a decrease of 21.0% for the second quarter of 2019, and 12.9% for the six months ending June 30, 2019, compared to the same periods from a year ago.
 
As of June 30, 2019, we have installed three of the large rotating furnaces (LRF) we acquired from the Lanxess Reynosa plant at our Madero smelter. These furnaces are lined and are more efficient than our old LRF, and they will increase our production and efficiency, which will cut our production costs substantially.
 
 
17
 
 
To further cut costs, we are producing antimony metal in Mexico, and we are renegotiating our raw material cost both in Mexico and from our North American supplier.
 
Precious Metals
 
The cyanide leach circuit at Puerto Blanco has been permitted, and construction of the leach circuit is nearly complete, and we expect to start pilot production during the third quarter of 2019. The largest project is the construction of the tailings pond, and it is ready for a liner and the liner has been delivered and will be installed by the middle of August 2019.
 
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, EBITDA for precious metals was $60,523 and $85,050, compared to $131,812 and $141,703 for the same periods of 2018.
 
The estimated recovery of precious metals per metric ton, after the caustic leach and cyanide leach circuits, is as follows:

Our net working capital decreased by approximately $1,1 million from December 31, 2018. The decrease in the price of antimony over the last six months has negatively impacted our working capital. Our cash and cash equivalents decreased by approximately $11,000 during the same period. The decrease in our net working capital was partially due to $76,000 for decommissioning an antimony plant in Reynosa, Mexico, and an increase of approximately $195,000 in the liabilities in Mexico. We spent approximately $474,000 for capital items, including the capitalized portion of demolishing the Lanxess plant in Reynosa, Mexico, and our long term debt decreased by approximately $90,000. We have estimated commitments for construction and improvements of $300,000 to finish building and installing the precious metals leach circuits. On August 14, 2019, we have received payment and are in the process of completing the issuance of approximately 925,000 shares of common stock for $444,160, which will provide cash to complete our precious metals plant, and do maintenance that will make our operations more effective and efficient. Decreases in operating expenses in the near future will have a positive effect on our financial position. We believe that with our current cash balance, along with the future cash flow from the capital infusion, and cash flow from operations and operating agreements, we have adequate liquid assets to meet these commitments and service our debt for the next twelve months. We have lines of credit of $202,000 which have been drawn down by $199,998 at June 30, 2019.

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 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 management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our chief financial officer conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2019. It was determined that there were material weaknesses affecting our disclosure controls and procedures and, as a result of those weaknesses, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2019. These material weaknesses are as follows:
 
Inadequate design of internal control over the preparation of the financial statements and financial reporting processes;
Inadequate monitoring of internal controls over significant accounts and processes including controls associated with domestic and Mexican subsidiary operations and the period-end financial reporting process; and
The absence of proper segregation of duties within significant processes and ineffective controls over management oversight, including antifraud programs and controls.
 
We are aware of these material weaknesses and will develop procedures to ensure that independent review of material transactions is performed. The chief financial officer will develop internal control measures to mitigate the lack of inadequate documentation of controls and the monitoring of internal controls over significant accounts and processes including controls associated with the period-ending reporting processes, and to mitigate the segregation of duties within significant accounts and processes and the absence of controls over management oversight, including antifraud programs and controls.
 
We plan to consult with independent experts when complex transactions are entered into.
 
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
 
There were no significant changes made to internal controls over financial reporting for the quarter ended June 30, 2019.
