NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Company U.S. Technologies Inc. furnishes administrative and management services to its wholly owned subsidiaries. Lockhart Technologies, Inc.("LTI") and Newdat, Inc., and furnished the same services to its formerly wholly owned subsidiaries American Microelectronics Inc., "AMI" Republic Technology Corporation "Republic", Microlabs, Inc. "Microlabs" LTI operations consist of contract manufacturing, prototyping and repair of printed circuit boards using surface mount, through-hole and mixed technology. Newdat, Inc. and its 80% owned subsidiary SensonCorp, Limited were acquired on January 23, 1995. U.S. Technologies Inc., together with its subsidiaries, are hereinafter referred to collectively as "the Company." Principles of Consolidation The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1994 includes the accounts of U.S. Technologies Inc., and Lockhart Technologies, Inc. The consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows include the accounts of U.S. Technologies Inc., Lockhart Technologies, Inc., and Newdat, Inc. and its 80% owned subsidiary for the three months ended March 31, 1995. For the three month period ended March 31, 1994, the consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows include the accounts of U.S. Technologies Inc., and its formerly wholly owned subsidiaries American Microelectronics Inc., Republic Technology Corporation and U.S. Microlabs Inc. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Presentation Basis The Company's consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant losses during each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994, and had working capital deficiencies at December 31, 1993. Additionally, at various times during 1994 and 1993, the Company was in default (delinquent payments) on its debt obligations. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to resolve its liquidity problems. While there is no assurance that such problems can be resolved, the Company believes there is a reasonable expectation of achieving that goal through the cash generated from future operations, the introduction of new products into the market and the sale of additional common stock through a private placement. 8 The interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements have been included. Such adjustments consisted only of normal recurring items. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market utilizing the average cost method for raw materials and work-in-progress, and the first-in, first-out method for finished goods. Property and Depreciation Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for additions, renewals and improvements of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs, maintenance and gains or losses on disposals are included in operations. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following estimated lives: Estimated Lives Equipment 5-7 years Furniture and fixtures 7 years Vehicles 3 years Leasehold Improvementsterm of building lease Licenses The cost of obtaining the rights to copy certain proprietary software for use in the Remote Processing Module ("RPM") are being amortized over five years using the straight line method. Earnings per Share Net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding in each period. The shares reserved for stock options and warrants are anti-dilutive for the purpose of determining net income or loss per share. Recent Pronouncements The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standard ("FASB") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" during the year ended December 31, 1993, which establishes generally accepted accounting principles for the financial accounting measurement and disclosure principles for income taxes that are payable or refundable for the current year and for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the financial statements of the Company and past and current tax returns. The change had no effect on prior year results. Product Warranties Under the Company's product warranty program, the Company has agreed to replace certain products during the one year warranty program. Expected warranty costs, if any, 9 are provided for in the period in which products are sold. To date accrued warranty costs are immaterial. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized from sales of products when the product is shipped. New Technologies Acquired new technologies are being amortized over a 60 month period. 2. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE The Company has the policy of offering customers a 2% discount for payment of invoiced amounts within 10 days of the invoice date. Accounts receivable - trade at March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994 is net of an allowance for doubtful accounts in the amount of $49,830. 3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company relocated its operations to a minimum security prison facility on December 29, 1993 and has a lease agreement with Wackenhut Corrections Corporation, The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Division of Pardons and Paroles and the City of Lockhart, Texas, to lease approximately 27,800 square feet of manufacturing and office space under an operating lease through January 31, 1997 and provides for automatic three year extensions unless notification is given by either party at least six months prior to the expiration of each term. The lease provides for annual rental rates of $1 per year for the primary term and the first automatic three year extension. The Company continues to lease office space in Austin. Rental expense at other locations for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 was $7,290 and $132,000, respectively. On March 22, 1995, the Company was served with a citation in TTI Testron, Inc. vs. American Microelectronics, Inc. and Lockhart Technologies, Inc., County Court at Law No. 1, Travis County, Texas, Cause No. 221,094. The petition alleges that Lockhart Technologies, Inc. received the assets of American Microelectronics Inc. without consideration. The action seeks damages of $11,527. The Company believes the claim is without merit. On January 24, 1995, an action styled SensonCorp Systems, Inc., SensonCorp Pacific, SensonCorp Southeast, SensonCorp West, Creative Media Resources vs. SensonCorp Limited, William Meehan, Dugal Allen, John Allen, DOES 1 through 50, United States District Court Northern District of California, Cause No. C-95-00282. The action seeks equitable relief and damages for breach of contract, breach of implied warranty of good faith and fair dealing, common law fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unfair competition, interference with contract, accounting, receiver/attachment, and theft of trade secrets. The causes of action are 10 related to a marketing agreement between Senson and the plaintiffs. Defendant John Allen is the Chairman of the Board of the Company. Dugal Allen is John Allen's son and is vice president of operations. Mr. Meehan is a business associate of John Allen. The suit does not specify the dollar amount of damages sought. The plaintiff's were denied most of the equitable relief they sought, but have obtained a temporary injunction requiring Senson to continue selling them certain products on Senson's usual and customary terms. The Company believes the plaintiff's claims are without merit and that Senson and the other named defendants will ultimately prevail. On August 9, 1994, an action styled Austin Temporary Services, Inc. vs. U.S. Technologies, Inc., dba American Microelectronics Inc., 345th Judicial District Court, Travis County Texas, Cause No. 94-09813, alleging that the Company was indebted to Austin Temporary Services, Inc. ("ATS") in the amount of $67,622 plus costs of court, interest, and attorney's fees for temporary employee services that ATS furnished to American Microelectronics Inc. Subsequently, ATS has amended its petition to add Jack D. Bryant, Ryan Corley, Leonard D. Hilt, American Microelectronics, Inc., and Lockhart Technologies, Inc. as additional named defendants. Under the present pleadings, ATS is claiming breach of contract and fraud and is attempting to pierce the corporate veil between the various companies and the named individuals. Mr. Bryant is a Director of the company. Mr. Corley is a Director and President of the Company. Mr. Hilt is the President and the Director of Lockhart Technologies, Inc. The Company believes ATS's claims are without merit. On March 21, 1994, The District Court, 98th Judicial District, Travis County, Texas granted a judgment to Travis County, et al. in the amount of $78,732 plus interest in the amount of $13,397 and attorney's fees in the amount of $13,819 for delinquent personal property tax for the years of 1992 and 1993. The total Judgment has been accrued at December 31, 1993 and $57,940 and $48,008 was recorded in expense. The Company is not liabale for the judgment, but has reflected these amount in accured liabilities because the judgments remain unpaid and are a lien on certain equipment owned by LTI that was previously owned by AMI. There are several lawsuits outstanding against AMI and Republic at the time they were sold. Ami and Republic are separage corporations, incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas. Therefore, the Company believes it has no liability arising out of or in connection with any lawsuits against AMI or Republic. On July 14, 1989, Company's Board of Directors adopted a bonus plan for certain employees that sets aside 1%, 2% and 3% of sales as long as the Company has maintained pretax income of 10%, 15% and 20% of sales, respectively. The performance standards will be based on a three month period of time. Bonuses will be accrued quarterly and determined 11 as of the end of each calendar year. No employees will have vested rights in the bonus plan. The Board of Directors will act as a committee to determine who participates and the actual amount of the individual bonuses. No bonuses were declared during the three months ended March 31, 1994 or during the year ended December 31, 1994. The Company has guaranteed severance pay to four individuals in the event of any merger or acquisition by the Company. In such event the company has guaranteed severance pay of four mounts each to Ryan Corley and Jack Bryant and two months each for Leonard Hilt and Neil Ginther if their employment with the Company or any subsidiary is termiated voluntarily or involuntarily for any reason (with or without cause) within six months following the closing of any acquisiton or merger. 3. SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY On January 23, 1995, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Newdat, Inc., in exchange for 7,053,728 shares of the Company's common stock. As a result of the acquisition, the Company has available two new products which will go into production during the second quarter and an 80% interest in another company which is marketing a line of environmentally friendly chemical coatings developed by a major Australian chemical company. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their fair market value at the date of acquisition. The excess of purchase price over the fair values of net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill. The fair values of these assets and liabilities are summarized as follows: Cash $ 2,846 Accounts receivable 11,243 Inventory 165,981 Property and equipment 4,578 Purchased technologies 1,140,000 Goodwill 849,065 Accounts payable and accrued expenses(33,720) Notes payable (729,243) $1,410,750 Included in the purchased technologies is $300,000 of technologies for a tape storage device that is still in the development stage. That amount has been charged to expense during the quarter ended March 31, 1995. On December 2, 1994, the Company entered into an master distribution agreement with Carlton Technologies & Services Ltd., for a master distributorship of plastic shrink tubing materials. The distribution agreement gives the Company the exclusive territories of distribution in the states of 12 Texas, Arizona and California. The Board of directors approved the issuance of 750,000 shares of common stock to Carlton Technologies & Services Ltd., in exchange for shrink wrap material valued at $196,793. Shrink wrap is a plastic material widely used in the electronics industry as an electrical insulator which shrinks when exposed to heat. The Company acquired the material primarily for resale through its contacts in the electronics industry. The stock was not actually issued until January 24, 1995, and, therefore, not booked by the Company for accounting purposes until that date. During the first quarter, 372,000 shares of the of the Company's nonqualified stock options were exercised. Some of the options were granted previously at less than market value at the date of the grant but were contingent upon certain conditions being met before they could be exercised. Those conditions were met during the first quarter and the stock options were exercised resulting in a charge being made against current operations as compensation for the excess of market value over the option price in the amount of $145,181 in the accompanying financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 1995. 4. INCOME TAXES At December 31, 1994, the Company has available for federal income tax purposes unused operating losses which may provide future tax benefits expiring as follows: Year of Expiration Net Operating Loss 2003 $1,383,000 2005 390,000 2006 165,000 2007 147,000 2008 2,291,000 2009 836,000 $5,212,000 13 5. SALE OF SUBSIDIARIES Prior to June, 1994, the Company owned three (3) additional subsidiaries which had been in operation for several years: American Microelectronics Inc. ("AMI"), Republic Technology Corporation ("Republic"), and U.S. MicroLabs Inc. ("MicroLabs"). AMI was in the electronics contract manufacturing business. Republic was in the business of designing and marketing personal computers. MicroLabs had been inactive for several years, but had at one time been in the business of developing and marketing software. AMI was the largest secured creditor of Republic. The Company was the largest secured creditor of AMI. In June, 1994, AMI foreclosed on its security interest in Republic and accepted an assignment of all of Republic's assets (all of which were covered by AMI's security agreement) in satisfaction of Republic's debts to AMI. Subsequent thereto the Company foreclosed on its security interest in AMI and accepted an assignment of AMI's assets (that were covered by the Company's security agreement) in satisfaction of AMI's debts to the company. The Company made a capital contribution of the assets thus obtained to the newly formed company, Lockhart Technologies, Inc., in exchange for all of the capital stock of that company. On June 30, 1994, all of the common stock of AMI, Republic and Microlabs were sold to an unrelated party for cash totaling $1,758. The transaction resulted in a gain of $1,376,959. Following is a summary of net assets and results of operations the three subsidiaries sold as of June 30, 1994, and for the the three months ended March 31, 1994 June 30 March 31 Total Assets $ 214,159 Total liabilities 1,589,360 Net assets (liabilities)$1,375,201 Sales and other income$1,255,437 $884,462 Operating cost and other expense 1,783,733 1,166,412 Net income (loss $(528,296) $(274,740) 14 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Liquidity and Capital Resources Working capital increased by $40,476 to $820,042 at March 31, 1995, from $779,566 at December 31, 1994, primarily from the increase in accounts receivables and from the sales of common stock. As of March 31, 1995 and 1994, there were no unused lines of credit available under bank credit agreements. The Company's consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that the Company is a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to resolve its liquidity problems, principally from profitable operations, accounts receivable based borrowing long-term debt or equity financing and the continued support and forbearance of its vendors and creditors. The Company had a cash balance of $17,049 at March 31, 1995 compared to $2,579 at December 31, 1994. The improved cash position is due primarily the use of better cash management procedures and short term borrowings. Inventories increased by approximately 16% to $1,212,153 from $1,042,306 at December 31, 1994, primarily due to inventory acquired in the Newdat acquistion. On June 29, 1994, AMI foreclosed on Republic under a secured note and security agreement. Under the terms of the security agreement and the provision of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code, AMI accepted an assignment from Republic of all of the property described in the security agreement (being all of the tangible and intangible assets) in satisfaction of Republic's secured debt to AMI. Subsequently, on or about June 29, 1994, U.S. Technologies Inc., foreclosed on AMI under a series of notes and security agreements representing $1,871,069 in original principal. Under the terms of the security agreements and the provisions of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code, U.S. Technologies Inc., accepted an assignment from AMI of all of the property described in the security agreement (being substantially all of AMI's tangible and intangible assets) in satisfaction of AMI's secured debts to U. S. Technologies Inc. The Company sold its interest in Republic, AMI and Microlabs on June 30, 1994 for $1,758 which resulted in a gain on the sale of these entities of $1,376,959. On July 1, 1994, U.S. Technologies Inc. contributed the assets obtained from AMI 13 for all of the stock in a newly formed coporation named Lockhart Technologies, Inc. The Company has entered into an agreement with one of its suppliers to let them purchase components from LTI's inventory when they have needs for certain items which should result in an overall reduction of the raw material inventory during 1995. The risk of obsolescence is inherent due to the nature of the Company's business where designs and components can become obsolete due to the rapid rate of change in the electronics industry. The Company will attempt to minimize this risk by planning its production and inventory acquisition practices so as to minimize its possible exposure. However, the rate of change is so rapid that it is not possible to anticipate every possible risk. Therefore, the risk of writedowns for future obsolescence will be a continuing risk faced by the Company and will be evaluated by management on an on going basis. A future source of additional working capital may be the 660,000 outstanding Redeemable Warrants issued in connection with the Company's initial public offering together with the 60,000 underwriter Warrants. The Warrants, which were to expire on December 31, 1992, which have been extended several times to September 30, 1995, are exercisable at $10.00 per Warrant. If exercised could generate, after offering expenses, approximately $6,393,000. Management will be evaluating alternative sources of capital as there is no assurance the Common Stock trading in the public market will ever trade at the required closing bid price for the specified amount of time to enable the exercise of the Redeemable Warrants. The nature and availability of future sources of long- term capital cannot presently be determined; however, these sources may include any of the aforementioned sources as well as new product sales. The Company adapted Financial Accounting Standard ("FASB") No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" during the year ended December 31, 1993, which establishes generally accepted accounting principles for the financial accounting measurement and disclosure principles for income taxes. The change had no effect on any of the financial statements presented. Results of Operations - Quarter Ended March 31, 1995 During the three month period ended March 31, 1995, the Company had a net loss of $558,886 or $(0.04) per weighted- average share, on net sales of $400,661 as compared to a net loss of $274,740 or $(0.07) per weighted average share, on net sales of $884,462 for the comparable period in 1994. Net sales decreased approximately 54.7% the three month 14 period ended March 31, 1995 over the comparable period in 1994 primarily due to the loss of production jobs from key customers and the Company's inability to purchase the necessary components to do turnkey jobs because of the lack of available credit lines with certain vendors. Gross margins for the three month period ended March 31, 1995 was 7.8%. For the comparable period in 1994, gross margins for the three month period was 7.3%. The decrease in gross margin for the three months ended March 31, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994 was due primarily to the inclusion of $300,000 charged to current operations for purchased technologies which were still in the development stage in the NewDat acquisiton. Also, a contributing factor is additional amortization in the amount of $59,091 for other purchased technologies and goodwill being charged against operations during this period. Selling expenses represented approximately 7.9% of sales during the three month period ended March 31, 1995, compared to 6.4% for the comparable period in 1994. The increase in sales expense for 1995 was primarily the result of sales personnel being on a fixed minimum compensation and the sales volume being much lower than in 1994. Administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 1995, was 88.6% of sales as compared to 32.8% for the comparable period in 1994. The percentage increase is due primarily to the inclusion of $145,181 in the valuation difference of market price over the issue price of a non qualified stock options exercised being treated as compensation during the 1995 reporting period and the low lever of sales incurred during the period ended March 31, 1995. No expenditures were made during the periods reported on for research and development in 1995 and 1994. While the Company anticipates an increase in demand for its products and services, the capacity to meet these demands are limited by equipment, personnel and working capital. The Company does not anticipate that inflationary trends will have a material impact on its results of operations because of the short-term nature of its contracts. 15 Part II Item 1. Legal Proceedings. The Company relocated its operations to a minimum security prison facility on December 29, 1993 and has a lease agreement with Wackenhut Corrections Corporation, The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Division of Pardons and Paroles and the City of Lockhart, Texas, to lease approximately 27,800 square feet of manufacturing and office space under an operating lease through January 31, 1997 and provides for automatic three year extensions unless notification is given by either party at least six months prior to the expiration of each term. The lease provides for annual rental rates of $1 per year for the primary term and the first automatic three year extension. The Company continues to lease office space in Austin. Rental expense at other locations for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 was $7,290 and $132,000, respectively. On March 22, 1995, the Company was served with a citation in TTI Testron, Inc. vs. American Microelectronics, Inc. and Lockhart Technologies, Inc., County Court at Law No. 1, Travis County, Texas, Cause No. 221,094. The petition alleges that Lockhart Technologies, Inc. received the assets of American Microelectronics Inc. without consideration. The action seeks damages of $11,527. The Company believes the claim is without merit. On January 24, 1995, an action styled SensonCorp Systems, Inc., SensonCorp Pacific, SensonCorp Southeast, SensonCorp West, Creative Media Resources vs. SensonCorp Limited, William Meehan, Dugal Allen, John Allen, DOES 1 through 50, United States District Court Northern District of California, Cause No. C-95-00282. The action seeks equitable relief and damages for breach of contract, breach of implied warranty of good faith and fair dealing, common law fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unfair competition, interference with contract, accounting, receiver/attachment, and theft of trade secrets. The causes of action are related to a marketing agreement between Senson and the plaintiffs. Defendant John Allen is the Chairman of the Board of the Company. Dugal Allen is John Allen's son and is vice president of operations. Mr. Meehan is a business associate of John Allen. The suit does not specify the dollar amount of damages sought. The plaintiff's were denied most of the equitable relief they sought, but have obtained a temporary injunction requiring Senson to continue selling them certain products on Senson's usual and customary terms. The Company believes the plaintiff's claims are without merit and that Senson and the other named defendants will ultimately prevail. 16 On August 9, 1994, an action styled Austin Temporary Services, Inc. vs. U.S. Technologies, Inc., dba American Microelectronics Inc., 345th Judicial District Court, Travis County Texas, Cause No. 94-09813, alleging that the Company was indebted to Austin Temporary Services, Inc. ("ATS") in the amount of $67,622 plus costs of court, interest, and attorney's fees for temporary employee services that ATS furnished to American Microelectronics Inc. Subsequently, ATS has amended its petition to add Jack D. Bryant, Ryan Corley, Leonard D. Hilt, American Microelectronics, Inc., and Lockhart Technologies, Inc. as additional named defendants. Under the present pleadings, ATS is claiming breach of contract and fraud and is attempting to pierce the corporate veil between the various companies and the named individuals. Mr. Bryant is a Director of the company. Mr. Corley is a Director and President of the Company. Mr. Hilt is the President and the Director of Lockhart Technologies, Inc. The Company believes ATS's claims are without merit. On March 21, 1994, The District Court, 98th Judicial District, Travis County, Texas granted a judgment to Travis County, et al. in the amount of $78,732 plus interest in the amount of $13,397 and attorney's fees in the amount of $13,819 for delinquent personal property tax for the years of 1992 and 1993. The total Judgment has been accrued at December 31, 1993 and $57,940 and $48,008 was recorded in expense. The Company is not liabale for the judgment, but has reflected these amount in accured liabilities because the judgments remain unpaid and are a lien on certain equipment owned by LTI that was previously owned by AMI. There are several lawsuits outstanding against AMI and Republic at the time they were sold. Ami and Republic are separage corporations, incorporated under the laws of the State of Texas. Therefore, the Company believes it has no liability arising out of or in connection with any lawsuits against AMI or Republic. On July 14, 1989, Company's Board of Directors adopted a bonus plan for certain employees that sets aside 1%, 2% and 3% of sales as long as the Company has maintained pretax income of 10%, 15% and 20% of sales, respectively. The performance standards will be based on a three month period of time. Bonuses will be accrued quarterly and determined as of the end of each calendar year. No employees will have vested rights in the bonus plan. The Board of Directors will act as a committee to determine who participates and the actual amount of the individual bonuses. No bonuses were declared during the three months ended March 31, 1994 or during the year ended December 31, 1993. The Company has guaranteed severance pay to four individuals in the event of any merger or acquisition by the Company. In such event the company has guaranteed severance 17 pay of four mounts each to Ryan Corley and Jack Bryant and two months each for Leonard Hilt and Neil Ginther if their employment with the Company or any subsidiary is termiated voluntarily or involuntarily for any reason (with or without cause) within six months following the closing of any acquisiton or merger.
