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, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2018.

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, 2017.

Going Concern Consideration

At June 30, 2018, theCompany’s consolidated financial statements show negative working capital of approximately $2.8 million and accumulated deficit of approximately $27.2 million.  In addition, the Company had recurring net losses.  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 Company’s antimony operations and in particular to the production costs incurred in Mexico.

Regarding the antimony division, prices improved during 2017 with an average sale price of $4.01 per pound. Through June 30, 2018, the average sale price for antimony is approximately $4.28 per pound. Additionally, in November 2017, the Company renegotiated its domestic sodium antimonite supply agreement resulting in a lower cost per antimony per pound of approximately $0.44. During the first six months of 2018, we endured supply interruptions from our North American supplier, and they have notified us that, due to a lack of raw material, they will be suspending shipments to us from September 17, 2018 to November 5, 2018. We anticipate that normal supply quantities will resume for the remainder of 2018 after November 5. We have been able to continue with operations due to our Mexican raw material, and we will be directing our resources to increasing that supply source. The new supply agreement with our North American supplier has helped us with our cash flow in 2018 from our antimony division.

In 2017, we reduced costs for labor at the Mexico locations which has resulted in a lower overall production costs in Mexico which has continued into 2018. In the fourth quarter 2017, we adjusted operating approaches at Madero that has resulted decreased operating costs for fuel, natural gas, electricity, and reagents for 2018. Although total production activity in Mexico decreased in 2017 due to the lack of Hillgrove concentrates, the Company’s 2018 plan involves ramping up production at its own antimony properties in Mexico. We are anticipating agreements that will provide us with operating capital to achieve this (See Note 14). In addition, a new leach circuit expected to come on line during 2018 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 this fall.

In 2017, management implemented wage and other cost reductions at the corporate level that has kept administrative costs stable in 2018. The Company expects to continue paying a low cost for propane in Montana through 2018, which in years past has been a major operating cost.

Basis of Presentation, Continued:

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 2018 through cash flows from operations while using the additional operating capital to continue with the expansion of our Mexican operation and to improve our working capital. Management believes that the actions taken to increase production and reduce costs, along with the expected additional operating capital, will enable the Company meet its obligations for the next twelve months.

Developments in Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standard Updates Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 Revenue Recognition, replacing guidance currently codified in Subtopic 605-10 Revenue Recognition-Overall. The new ASU establishes a new five step principles-based framework in an effort to significantly enhance comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. ASU No. 2015-14 deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 until annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted ASU No. 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified-retrospective transition approach. There was no impact of adoption of the update to our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

We performed an assessment of the impact of implementation of ASU No. 2014-09, and concluded it does not change the timing of revenue recognition or amounts of revenue recognized compared to how we recognize revenue under our current policies. Adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 involves additional disclosures, where applicable, on (i) contracts with customers, (ii) significant judgments and changes in judgments in determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and the transaction price, and (iii) assets recognized for costs to obtain or fulfill contracts. See Note 4 for information on our sales of products.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The update provides guidance on classification for cash receipts and payments related to eight specific issues. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this update as of January 1, 2018.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The update requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this update as of January 1, 2018. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on the consolidated statements of cash flows includes restricted cash of $63,345 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and $63,274 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, as well as amounts previously reported for cash and cash equivalents.

Developments in Accounting Pronouncements, Continued:

Accounting Standards Updates to Become Effective in Future Periods

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). The update modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently reviewing our leases and compiling the information required to implement the new guidance. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of implementing this update on our consolidated financial statements.

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. Management has determined that the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the quarter and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, is not applicable since any additions to outstanding shares related to common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, 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:

	June 30, 2018	June 30, 2017
Warrants	250,000	250,000
Convertible preferred stock	1,751,005	1,751,005
Total possible dilution	2,001,005	2,001,005

Revenue Recognition

Our products consist of the following:

● 

Antimony: includes antimony oxide, sodium antimonate, and antimony metal

● 

Zeolite: includes course and fine zeolite crushed in various sizes.

● 

Precious Metals: includes 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.

Our trade accounts receivable balance related to contracts with customers was $461,291 at June 30, 2018 and $362,579 at December 31, 2017. 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.

Accounts Receivble	June 30, 2018	December 31, 2017
Accounts receivable - non factored	$455,851	$351,699
Accounts receivable - factored with recourse	5,440	10,880
Accounts receivable - net	$461,291	$362,579

Related Party Transactions

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Chairman of the audit committee and compensation committee received $4,500 and $4,500, respectively, for services performed. See Note 12 for shares of common stock issued to directors.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, the Company paid $2,461 and $4,555, and $2,480 and $5,054, respectively, to John Lawrence, our President and Chief Executive Officer, as reimbursement for equipment used by the Company. Mr. Lawrence advanced the Company $75,000 for ongoing operating expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2018, which has been repaid as of June 30, 2018.

11. 

Income Taxes

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and the year ended December 31, 2017, 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 a net deferred tax asset. The net effect is that the deferred tax asset is fully reserved for at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Management estimates the effective tax rate at 0% for the current year.

Mexican Tax Assessment

In 2015, the Mexican tax authority (“SAT”) initiated an audit of the USAMSA’s 2013 income tax return. In October 2016, as a result of its audit, SAT assessed the Company $13.8 million pesos, which was approximately $666,400 in U.S. Dollars (“USD”) as of December 31, 2016. Approximately $285,000 USD of the total assessment is interest and penalties. SAT’s assessment is based on the disallowance of specific costs that the Company deducted on the 2013 USAMSA income tax return. These disallowed costs were incurred by the Company for USAMSA’s business operations. SAT claims that the costs were not deductible or were not supported by appropriate documentation. At June 30, 2018, the assessed amount is $694,752 in U.S dollars.

Management has reviewed the assessment notice from SAT and believes numerous findings have no merit. The Company has engaged accountants and tax attorneys in Mexico to defend its position. An appeal has been filed.

At December 31, 2016, management estimated possible outcomes for this assessment and believes it will ultimately pay an amount ranging from 30% of the total assessment to the total assessed amount. The Company’s agreement with the tax professionals is that the professionals will receive 30% of the amount of tax relief they are able to achieve.

At December 31, 2016, the Company accrued a potential liability of $410,510 USD of which $285,048 was for unpaid income taxes, $75,510 was for interest expense, and $49,952 was for penalties. The amount accrued represents management’s best estimate of the amount that will ultimately be paid. The outcome could vary from this estimate. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized a $62,752 and $12,752 decrease, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, recognized a $51,642 and $10,191 decrease, respectively, due to the change in exchange rates. Fluctuation in exchange rates has an ongoing impact on the amount the Company will pay in U.S. dollars.

If an issue addressed during the SAT audit is resolved in a manner inconsistent with management expectations, the Company will adjust its net operating loss carryforward, or accrue any additional penalties, interest, and tax associated with the audit. The Company’s tax professionals in Mexico have reviewed and filed tax returns with the SAT for other tax years and have advised the Company that they do not expect the Company to have a tax liability for those years relating to similar issues.

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 brings antimony up to an intermediate stage, which may be sold directly or shipped to the United States operation for finishing at the Thompson Falls, Montana plant. 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 2018, we recognized a net loss of $122,785, on sales of $2,256,347, compared to a net loss of $16,955 in the second quarter of 2017 on sales of $2,838,480. The loss in the second quarter of 2018 was primarily due to a decrease in the raw materials received from our North American supplier. The loss in the first quarter of 2017 was primarily due to the loss of raw material from Hillgrove Mines of Australia. During the first six months of 2018, we endured supply interruptions from our North American supplier, and we have been notified that due to a lack of raw material, they will not be able to supply us with raw material from September 17, 2018 through November 5, 2018. We anticipate that normal supply quantities from our North American supplier will resume for the remainder of 2018. We will be directing our resources during that time to increasing our supply of raw material from Mexico.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, EBITDA was $52,312 and $(144,566), compared to $197,420 and $21,792 for the same periods of 2017.

Net non-cash expense items totaled $287,780 and 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.

Net non-cash expense items totaled $282,985 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and included $214,375 for depreciation and amortization, $23,413 for amortization of debt discount, $43,750 for director compensation and $1,447 for other items. Net non-cash expense items totaled $618,238 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and included $430,050 for depreciation and amortization, $46,828 of debt discount, $87,500 for director compensation and $53,860 for other items.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, general and administrative expenses were $186,411 and 337,242, respectively compared to $138,995 and $343,559 for the same periods in 2017.

Antimony

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we sold 326,258 and 742,222 pounds of antimony compared to 505,356 and 1,053,206 pounds for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017. The raw material received from our North American supplier decreased by approximately 184,000 pounds. We did not see an increase in raw material from Mexico for the second quarter of 2018, but we did see an increase of approximately 69,000 pounds for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The average sales price of antimony during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 was $4.57 and $4.28 per pound compared to $4.11 and $3.86 during the same periods in 2017.

The cyanide leach circuit at Puerto Blanco has been permitted, and construction of the leach circuit is underway, and we expect to start testing during the fourth quarter of 2018. The largest project is the construction of the tailings pond, and we are anticipating it will be ready for a liner by the end of September 2018. Construction of the equipment is underway in Montana, and the leach plant floor with a containment lip has been completed. The equipment will be placed directly on the floor, and we do not believe that a building will be necessary. During the construction phase, our metallurgical lab in Montana has been busy testing and confirming the metallurgy. Three technical discoveries were made that will increase recovery, expedite processing, and cut costs.

At the Wadley mine, production is being increased with more miners and load haul equipment. The use of pneumatic hammers is planned in lieu of explosives.

Precious Metals

The caustic leach of flotation concentrates from Los Juarez was successful, and the pilot production of the Los Juarez gold, silver, and antimony will commence with the completion of the cyanide leach plant at Puerto Blanco.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, EBITDA for precious metals was $131,812 and $141,703, compared to $144,766 and $165,577 for the same periods of 2017.

The estimated recovery of precious metals per metric ton, after the caustic leach and cyanide leach circuits, is as follows:

Metal	Assay	Recovery	Value	Value/Mt
Gold	0.035 opmt	90%	$1200/oz	$37.80
Silver	3.27 opmt	90%	$15.50/oz	$45.61
Antimony	0.652%	70%	4.14/lb	$41.52
Total				$124.93

Current and prior years’ revenue from precious metals is as follows:

Precious Metal Sales Silver/Gold	2015	2016	2017	Six Months 2018
Montana
Ounces Gold Shipped (Au)	89.12	108.10	107.00	29.43

Bear River Zeolite (BRZ)

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, BRZ sold 3,578 and 7,331 tons of zeolite compared to 3,422 and 6,775 tons in the same periods of 2017, up 156 tons or 4.6% for the three months and 556 tons or 8.2% for the six months. .

BRZ realized a profit of $139,402 after depreciation of $47,072 in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $129,426 after depreciation of $49,800 in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in profit from our zeolite operations was $9,976 or 6.9%. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, BRZ realized a gross profit of $288,720 after depreciation of $94,982 compared to a gross profit of $215,630 after depreciation of $99,800, an increase of $73,090 or 32%.

BRZ realized an EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 of $186,474 and $383,612, compared to $179,225 and 315,430 for the same periods in 2017.

17

We are anticipating continued growth in all areas of zeolite sales.

Our net working capital decreased by approximately $395,000 from December 31, 2017. Our cash decreased by approximately $12,000 during the same period. The decrease in our net working capital was primarily due to an increase of approximately $50,000 in the current portion of long term debt and a decrease in inventories of approximately $200,000. We have estimated commitments for construction and improvements of $100,000, including $50,000 to finish building and installing the precious metals leach circuits. We believe that with our current cash balance, along with the future 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 $191,009 at June 30, 2018.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

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, 2018. 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, 2018. 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, 2018.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

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, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2018.

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, 2017.

Going Concern Consideration

At June 30, 2018, the Company’s consolidated financial statements show negative working capital of approximately $2.8 million and accumulated deficit of approximately $27.2 million.  In addition, the Company had recurring net losses.  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 Company’s antimony operations and in particular to the production costs incurred in Mexico.

Regarding the antimony division, prices improved during 2017 with an average sale price of $4.01 per pound. Through June 30, 2018, the average sale price for antimony is approximately $4.28 per pound. Additionally, in November 2017, the Company renegotiated its domestic sodium antimonite supply agreement resulting in a lower cost per antimony per pound of approximately $0.44. During the first six months of 2018, we endured supply interruptions from our North American supplier, and they have notified us that, due to a lack of raw material, they will be suspending shipments to us from September 17, 2018 to November 5, 2018. We anticipate that normal supply quantities will resume for the remainder of 2018 after November 5. We have been able to continue with operations due to our Mexican raw material, and we will be directing our resources to increasing that supply source. The new supply agreement with our North American supplier has helped us with our cash flow in 2018 from our antimony division.

In 2017, we reduced costs for labor at the Mexico locations which has resulted in a lower overall production costs in Mexico which has continued into 2018. In the fourth quarter 2017, we adjusted operating approaches at Madero that has resulted decreased operating costs for fuel, natural gas, electricity, and reagents for 2018. Although total production activity in Mexico decreased in 2017 due to the lack of Hillgrove concentrates, the Company’s 2018 plan involves ramping up production at its own antimony properties in Mexico. We are anticipating agreements that will provide us with operating capital to achieve this (See Note 14). In addition, a new leach circuit expected to come on line during 2018 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 this fall.

In 2017, management implemented wage and other cost reductions at the corporate level that has kept administrative costs stable in 2018. The Company expects to continue paying a low cost for propane in Montana through 2018, which in years past has been a major operating cost.

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 2018 through cash flows from operations while using the additional operating capital to continue with the expansion of our Mexican operation and to improve our working capital. Management believes that the actions taken to increase production and reduce costs, along with the expected additional operating capital, will enable the Company meet its obligations for the next twelve months.

Developments in Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Standard Updates Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 Revenue Recognition, replacing guidance currently codified in Subtopic 605-10 Revenue Recognition-Overall. The new ASU establishes a new five step principles-based framework in an effort to significantly enhance comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date. ASU No. 2015-14 deferred the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 until annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted ASU No. 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018 using the modified-retrospective transition approach. There was no impact of adoption of the update to our consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018.

We performed an assessment of the impact of implementation of ASU No. 2014-09, and concluded it does not change the timing of revenue recognition or amounts of revenue recognized compared to how we recognize revenue under our current policies. Adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 involves additional disclosures, where applicable, on (i) contracts with customers, (ii) significant judgments and changes in judgments in determining the timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and the transaction price, and (iii) assets recognized for costs to obtain or fulfill contracts. See Note 4 for information on our sales of products.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The update provides guidance on classification for cash receipts and payments related to eight specific issues. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this update as of January 1, 2018.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The update requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this update as of January 1, 2018. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on the consolidated statements of cash flows includes restricted cash of $63,345 as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 and $63,274 as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, as well as amounts previously reported for cash and cash equivalents.

Accounting Standards Updates to Become Effective in Future Periods

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842). The update modifies the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently reviewing our leases and compiling the information required to implement the new guidance. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of implementing this update on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Net income (loss) per share of common stock:

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. Management has determined that the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the quarter and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, is not applicable since any additions to outstanding shares related to common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, 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:

	June 30, 2018		June 30, 2017
Warrants		250,000		250,000
Convertible preferred stock		1,751,005		1,751,005

4. Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition [Abstract]

Revenue Recognition

Our products consist of the following:

●  Antimony: includes antimony oxide, sodium antimonate, and antimony metal

●  Zeolite: includes course and fine zeolite crushed in various sizes.

●  Precious Metals: includes 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.

Sales of products for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:

Our trade accounts receivable balance related to contracts with customers was $461,291 at June 30, 2018 and $362,579 at December 31, 2017. 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.

6. Accounts Receivable and Due to Factor

Jun. 30, 2018

Notes to Financial Statements

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.

Income Taxes

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and the year ended December 31, 2017, 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 a net deferred tax asset. The net effect is that the deferred tax asset is fully reserved for at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Management estimates the effective tax rate at 0% for the current year.

      Mexican Tax Assessment

In 2015, the Mexican tax authority (“SAT”) initiated an audit of the USAMSA’s 2013 income tax return. In October 2016, as a result of its audit, SAT assessed the Company $13.8 million pesos, which was approximately $666,400 in U.S. Dollars (“USD”) as of December 31, 2016. Approximately $285,000 USD of the total assessment is interest and penalties. SAT’s assessment is based on the disallowance of specific costs that the Company deducted on the 2013 USAMSA income tax return. These disallowed costs were incurred by the Company for USAMSA’s business operations. SAT claims that the costs were not deductible or were not supported by appropriate documentation. At June 30, 2018, the assessed amount is $694,752 in U.S dollars.

Management has reviewed the assessment notice from SAT and believes numerous findings have no merit. The Company has engaged accountants and tax attorneys in Mexico to defend its position. An appeal has been filed.

At December 31, 2016, management estimated possible outcomes for this assessment and believes it will ultimately pay an amount ranging from 30% of the total assessment to the total assessed amount. The Company’s agreement with the tax professionals is that the professionals will receive 30% of the amount of tax relief they are able to achieve.

At December 31, 2016, the Company accrued a potential liability of $410,510 USD of which $285,048 was for unpaid income taxes, $75,510 was for interest expense, and $49,952 was for penalties. The amount accrued represents management’s best estimate of the amount that will ultimately be paid. The outcome could vary from this estimate. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company recognized a $62,752 and $12,752 decrease, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, recognized a $51,642 and $10,191 decrease, respectively, due to the change in exchange rates. Fluctuation in exchange rates has an ongoing impact on the amount the Company will pay in U.S. dollars.

If an issue addressed during the SAT audit is resolved in a manner inconsistent with management expectations, the Company will adjust its net operating loss carryforward, or accrue any additional penalties, interest, and tax associated with the audit. The Company’s tax professionals in Mexico have reviewed and filed tax returns with the SAT for other tax years and have advised the Company that they do not expect the Company to have a tax liability for those years relating to similar issues.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

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 brings antimony up to an intermediate stage, which may be sold directly or shipped to the United States operation for finishing at the Thompson Falls, Montana plant. 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.
