Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis of Presentation - The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. It is the opinion of management that the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.

The results of operations for the interim periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the September 30, 2011 consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011.

Reporting Entity and Principles of Consolidation — ATC Venture Group Inc (“ATC”) a Nevada corporation, has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Simonsen Iron Works Inc. (“Simonsen”), an Iowa corporation.

The entities are collectively referred to as the “Company” for these condensed consolidated financial statements.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Nature of the Business – The Company has one distinct operating segment, Simonsen Iron Works Inc., which is engaged in the design, manufacture and assembly of an array of parts for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and other customers.  The Company has offices in Minnetonka, MN and Spencer, IA, and has approximately 160,000 square feet of modern manufacturing facilities in its owned building in Spencer, IA.

The Company records assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses associated with three other segments as discontinued operations for all periods presented.  On August 26, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for the sale (the “Asset Sale”) of the Company’s assets related to its business in aftermarket accessories for all-terrain vehicles and utility vehicles sold under the “Cycle Country” brand name (the “Product Line”) to Kolpin Outdoors, Inc. (“Kolpin”).  Details of the Purchase Agreement are more fully disclosed in the Company’s 8-K filing dated September 11, 2011. As of March 31, 2012, the brand “Cycle Country” and the ATV accessories division, as well as Perf-Form segment, were sold.  See Note 8 for additional information on these sales.  Following these sales, the Company redefined its business strategies and changed its name “Cycle Country Accessories Corp.”  to “ATC Venture Group Inc.”

The Company previously had two other reporting segments. The first, Plazco, manufactured, sold, and distributed injection-molded plastic products for vehicles such as golf cars and low-speed vehicles (LSVs).  The other, perf-Form, the other, manufactured, sold, and distributed oil filters for the Powersports industry, including ATVs, UTVs, and Motorcycles.  As more fully disclosed in Note 9, in the previous fiscal year the Company concluded that these segments are not in the long-term strategic plans of the Company and classified them as discontinued operations.

Revenue Recognition - The Company primarily ships products to its customers by third party carriers.  The Company recognizes revenues from product sales when title and risk of loss to the products is passed to the customer, which occurs at the point of shipping.

Certain costs associated with the shipping and handling of products to customers are billed to the customer and included as freight income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.  The actual freight costs incurred are included in cost of goods sold.  Sales were recorded net of sales discounts, returns and allowances.  Sales discounts, returns and allowances were approximately $25,000 and $321,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  For the six months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, sales discounts, returns and allowances were approximately $430,000 and $629,000.   Of these amounts, sales discounts, returns and allowances for continuing operations totaled $25,000 and $71,000, respectively and $-0- and $250,000 for discontinuing operations, respectively, for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.  For the six month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, sales discounts, returns and allowances for continuing operations totaled $39,000 and $80,000, respectively and $391,000 and $550,000 for discontinuing operations, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains its accounts primarily at one financial institution.  At times throughout the year, the Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Company.
 
Income Taxes - Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and consist of taxes currently receivable and deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis for financial and income tax reporting.  Deferred taxes also are recognized for operating losses that are available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that are available to offset future income taxes payable.

ATC Venture Group Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring tax benefits and liabilities when realization of the tax position is uncertain. The first step is to determine whether the tax positions meet the more-likely-than-not condition for recognition and the second step is to determine the amount to be recognized based on the cumulative probability that exceeds 50%.

The Company recognizes in its condensed consolidated financial statements only those tax positions that are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, or local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2007.  The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income tax expense. The Company has no significant accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2011 or March 31, 2012 and such uncertain tax positions as of each reporting date are insignificant.  The Company does not anticipate that the total unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change prior to March 31, 2013.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share - Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic EPS while giving effect to the potential dilution that could occur if stock options or other share-based awards were exercised, by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares and share equivalents during the period.  See Note 5 for details regarding basic and diluted earnings per share.

Legal - The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business.  While the ultimate outcome of these matters is not presently determinable, it is in the opinion of management that the resolution of outstanding claims will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Company.  Due to the uncertainties in the settlement process, it is at least reasonably possible that management’s view of outcomes will change in the near term.

Use of Estimates —The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and operating results, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses.  Significant items subject to such estimates include the useful lives and assumptions used in the impairment analysis of property, plant, and equipment; valuation of intangible assets; valuation of deferred tax assets; allowance for doubtful accounts; and allowance for inventory reserves.  Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments – The Company’s accounting for fair value measurements of assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring or nonrecurring basis adhere to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) fair value hierarchy that prioritized the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value.  The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).  The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

·  
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date
·  
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset of liability
·  
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The carrying value of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short and long-term debt, and other working capital items approximate fair value at March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011 due to the short maturity nature of these instruments.

Note 2. Inventories:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the weighted average cost method.  Cost includes materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead related to the purchase and production of inventories.  Management regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand, future product demand and the estimated utility of inventory.  If the review indicates a reduction in utility below carrying value, management would reduce the Company’s inventory to a new cost basis through a lower of cost or market adjustment.  Details on historical adjustments to inventory can be found in the Company’s most recent 10-K filing.

September 30, 2011
 
             
Raw Material
  $ 472,378     $ 382,452

Total Inventories
  $ 563,739     $ 799,205  

Inventory consists of raw material, work in process, and finished goods.  Management has evaluated the Company’s inventory reserve based on historical experience and current economic conditions and determined that an inventory reserve of approximately $150,000 at March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011 was appropriate.  It is reasonably possible the inventory reserve will change in the near future.

Note 3. Line of Credit:

On September 22, 2011, the Company entered into a Secured Credit Agreement (“Line of Credit Four”) with the Lender.  This line increased the revolving credit commitment under the Credit Agreement to $4,100,000 until the closing of the Company’s previously disclosed sale of its branded ATV Accessories product line to Kolpin Outdoors Inc. (the “Kolpin Sale”).  Line of Credit Four required the Company to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement upon the closing of the Kolpin Sale.  After the closing of the Kolpin Sale, the revolving credit commitment under the Credit Agreement automatically reduced to $1,000,000.  As of March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the balance due under Line of Credit Four was $930,400 and $3,643,600, respectively.

The Line of Credit contains conditions and covenants that prevent or restrict the Company from engaging in certain transactions without the consent of the Lender and require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, including term debt coverage and maximum leverage.  In addition, the Company is required to maintain a minimum working capital ratio and shall not declare or pay any dividends or any other distributors without the consent of the Lender.  As of and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the Company was not in compliance with some of its covenants with the Lender.  On March 20, 2012, for all notes and lines of credit, the lender agreed to waive the covenant noncompliance by the Company.

On March 20, 2012, for all notes and lines of credit, the lender agreed to waive the covenant noncompliance by the Company retroactively to September 30, 2011.

On April 29, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with the Spencer Area Jobs Trust (the “Trust”).  Under the terms of this agreement, the Trust advanced $60,000 to the Company under a loan which is forgivable if the Company employs no less than seventy full time people on February 28, 2014.  If the Company does not employ seventy full time people, the amount of the loan forgiven will equal $850 for each person employed retained.  The Company will extinguish this debt amount, if any, upon notice from the Trust.

ATC Venture Group Inc
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  During the three and six months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred a net gain (loss) of approximately $599,000 and $1,064,000, respectively.  As of March 31, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $8,248,000.  As discussed in Note 4, as of March 31, 2012, the Company was in violation of covenants with its lender, a waiver for which was received.  If the Company is unable to generate profits and unable to continue to obtain financing or renew existing financing for its working capital requirements, it may have to curtail its business sharply or cease business altogether.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company does not continue as a going concern.

The Company expects the existing cash balances, cash flow generated from operating activities, and the available borrowing capacity under the revolving line of credit agreement to be sufficient to fund operations. Short term cash can be generated through the aggressive collection of accounts receivable and by reducing inventory balances.  The Company is in the process of securing replacement financing through an asset-based lender for its Revolving Credit Agreement.

Note 8 – Sale of Segment

 
On December 31, 2011, the brand “Cycle Country” and the ATV accessories division were sold to Kolpin Outdoors, Inc.

Note 9 – Discontinued Operations

In the year ended September 30, 2011, the Company concluded that the Perf-Form and Plazco segments no longer fit with the long term strategic plans of the Company. Both of these segments are outside of the Company’s core product lines and/or our core customer relationships. Both of these segments have seen substantial decline in the past five years in sales and profitability as they lacked adequate sales, marketing, and operational leadership. Further, the Company has no internal expertise in engineering in either of these product segments. As a result, with the changes in the senior management of the Company, the determination was made that these segments no longer fit the Company’s strategic plan, and therefore, these segments are expected to cease operations within one year and are reported as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

On August 26, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) for the sale (the “Asset Sale”) of the Company’s assets related to its business in aftermarket accessories for all-terrain vehicles and utility vehicles sold under the “Cycle Country” brand name (the “Product Line”) to Kolpin Outdoors, Inc. (“Kolpin”). Details of the Purchase Agreement are more fully disclosed in the Company’s 8-K filing dated September 1, 2011. Since this Product Line (ATV) was sold subsequent to September 30, 2011, it has been included in discontinued operations for all years presented.

See Note 8 for information on sales of the Perf-Forn and Cycle Country ATV Accessories segments.

For the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company reported a net loss of $598,870 or (30.61%) of revenue. This compares to the three months ending March 31, 2011 during which the Company recorded net loss of $1,351,711 or (204.74%) of total revenue. Total revenues from continuing operations more than doubled for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.  This increase represents the build-up of the new lead operating segment and wrap-up of discontinued operations. Profitability was still lagging in the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to efficiencies temporarily lost in transition between discontinued operations and expansion of the contract manufacturing subsidiary.

Net income (loss)
  $ 1,064,235       42.09 %   $ (1,660,790 )     -122.72 %

For the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Company reported net income of $1,064,235 or 42.09% of revenue. This compares to the six months ending March 31, 2011 during which the Company recorded net loss of $1,660,790 or (122.72%) of revenue. Net income increased as well.  The majority of these changes relate to a $2,143,979 gain on sale of the ATV segment, as this sale spiked revenues in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012.  Operating sales were down due to segment declining projects below profit goals.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company operates four reportable business segments, two segments were sold in in the six month period ended March 31, 2012 and one that is held in discontinued operations.
 
Simonson Iron Works Inc., on wholly-owned subsidiary is engaged in contract manufacturing for original equipment manufacturers (OEM's) and other businesses in various industries. 
 
Revenue

Revenue increased approximately 196% or $1,300,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 in the Simonsen Iron Works Inc. segment.  This increase represents increased production in the remaining operating segment, as planned with recent strategic segment eliminations.  The loss from discontinued operations decreased 57% or approximately $640,000, as the discontinued operations wound down to no material activities by March 31, 2012.  For the six months ending March 31, 2012, net income increased 169% or approximately $2,800,000 over the six months ended March 31, 2011.  This increase was partially due to the gain on sale of the ATV Accessories segment and partially due to strategic elimination of less profitable activities.

      92.46 %     106.38 %     91.05 %     100.50 %

The cost of materials as a percentage of revenue increased for Simonsen Ironworks Inc., while total costs of goods sold for the segment decreased as a percentage of revenues.  This change was due to the strategic management decisions made for lean production.

Expenses

Our selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately $647,000 and $240,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively.

The significant changes in expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 were:

·  
Prior to allocation between segments, the two major changes in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period ending March 31, 2012 compared to the three month period ending March 31, 2011were as follows:

·  
Management compensation decreased approximately $300,000 due to elimination of redundancies and aligning compensation with key performance objectives

·

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Cash and cash equivalents were $16,286 as of March 31, 2012 compared to $25,185 as of September 30, 2011.  Until required for operations, our policy is to invest any excess cash reserves in bank deposits, money market funds, and certificates of deposit after first repaying any built up balance on our bank line of credit.

Working Capital

Net working capital deficit was $991,334 as of March 31, 2012 compared to $3,218,286 as of September 30, 2011.  The working capital ratio was .72 and .56 as of March 31, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively.

The following table summarizes the Company’s sources and uses of cash and equivalents for the periods indicated:

   
2012 (Unaudited)
   
2011
 
             
Net cash provided by (used for) operating activities of continuing operations
  $ 16,695     $ 1,840,799  
Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations
    122,902       (73,430 )
Net cash (used for) financing activities of continuing operations
    (138,766 )     (1,771,123 )
    $ (8,899 )   $ 104,882  
 
The Company’s principal uses of cash are to pay operating expenses, acquire necessary equipment and to make debt service payments.  During the six months ended March 31, 2012, the Company used cash to make principal payments of approximately $404,000 against long-term debt and paid down approximately $2,713,000 on its lines of credit.

Capital Resources

Management believes that existing cash balances, cash flow to be generated from operating activities, and income tax refunds receivable and available borrowing capacity under its line of credit agreement will be sufficient to fund normal operations and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months.  The Company is not considering any major capital investment for at least the next three months.

As of March 31, 2012 and as of September 30, 2011, the Company was in violation of its current ratio and term debt coverage ratio covenants in its loan agreements with its lender.  As of March 20, 2012, the Company and its lender entered into a Secured Credit Agreement and Waiver.  Under the terms of this Agreement, the lender agreed to waive the noncompliance by the Company with the required ratio of current assets to current liabilities as of September 30, 2011, March 31, 2012 and the Company’s anticipated noncompliance with the required ratio of current assets to current liabilities through October 1, 2012 and further, to waive the Company’s noncompliance with the Term Debt Coverage Ratio as of September 30, 2011, March 31, 2012, and the Company’s anticipated noncompliance with the Term Debt Coverage Ratio through October 1, 2012.

Management expects to be able to comply with the requirements of the Secured Credit Agreement and has begun the process to secure a commitment for funding from an asset-based lender. Management believes this is an appropriate financing vehicle for its operations and expects to have a positive impact on the Company’s working capital through fiscal year 2012.  Further, this funding will help to continue the stabilization and turnaround of the Company while facilitating continued growth.  The failure to obtain a replacement lender by June 30, 2012 could result in the lender foreclosing on its security interest resulting in a significant disruption to the Company’s operations.

Our continued existence is dependent upon or ability to generate cash and to market and sell our products successfully.  However, there are no assurances whatsoever that we will be able to borrow further funds from our lender or that we will increase our revenues and/or control our expenses to a level sufficient to provide positive cash flow.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires us to make judgments and estimates that may have a significant impact upon the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations.  We believe that of our significant accounting policies, the following require estimates and assumptions that require complex, subjective judgements by management that can materially impact the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations, useful lives of fixed assets; impairment of long-lived asset, valuation of inventory, deferred taxes and warranties and allowance for doubtful accounts.   These significant accounting principles are more fully described in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year needed September 30, 2011.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide this information.

ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on management’s evaluation (with the participation of our former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer) as of the end of the period covered by this report, our former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), are ineffective, due to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as discussed below, to provide reasonable assurance that the information to be disclosed by the Company in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Subsequent to the evaluation made in connection with the Original Filing, and in connection with the restatement and filing of our recent 2010 Form 10-K/A and 2011 10Q/A’s for the first three quarters, our management, including our current Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, re-evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures and concluded that, because of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans and customer incentive programs, our disclosure controls and procedures continued to be ineffective as of March 31, 2012.  
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, have reviewed and evaluated any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred as of March 31, 2012. Our management is in the process of addressing the above material weakness and has utilized the services of an outside accounting firm to assist with this process. Additionally, on April 1, 2012, we hired VP of Finance and Administration. We believe this will help remediate the material weakness by focusing additional attention and resources in our internal accounting functions. However, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until the applicable remedial controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
