American Power Group Corporation
Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations, Risks, and Uncertainties
Effective August 1, 2012, GreenMan Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) changed its name to American Power Group Corporation ("APG"). In connection with the corporate name change, the Company’s stock trading symbol on the OTCQB has changed from “GMTI” to “APGI”. APG (together with its subsidiaries “we”, “us” or “our”) was originally founded in 1992 and has operated as a Delaware corporation since 1995.
Recent Developments
In December 2013, Iowa State Bank agreed to extend the maturity of our $2.25 million credit facility from December 31, 2013 to April 1, 2015, increase our borrowing limit to $2.5 million and expand our collateral base to include certain fixed assets which will provide more working capital availability under the credit facility.
Nature of Operations, Risks, and Uncertainties
Our patented dual fuel conversion system is a unique external fuel delivery enhancement system that converts existing diesel engines into more efficient and environmentally friendly engines that have the flexibility, depending on the circumstances, to run on:
| |
• | Diesel fuel and compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG); |
| |
• | Diesel fuel and pipeline gas, well-head gas or approved bio-methane; or |
Our proprietary technology seamlessly displaces up to 75% (average displacement ranges from 40% to 65%) of the normal diesel fuel consumption with various forms of natural gas. Installation requires no engine modification, unlike the more expensive fuel injected alternative fuel systems in the market.
By displacing highly polluting and expensive diesel fuel with inexpensive, abundant and cleaner burning natural gas, a user can:
| |
• | Reduce fuel and operating costs by 15% to 35%; |
| |
• | Reduce toxic emissions such as nitrogen oxide (NOX), carbon monoxide (CO) and fine particulate emissions; and |
| |
• | Enhance the engine’s operating life, since natural gas is a cleaner burning fuel source. |
Primary end market applications include both primary and back-up diesel generators as well as mid- to heavy-duty vehicular diesel engines.
As of March 31, 2014, we had $1,180,429 cash, cash equivalents and restricted certificates of deposit and working capital of $1,659,158. Based on our fiscal 2014 operating budget, cash on hand at March 31, 2014 and anticipated availability under our bank working capital line, we believe we will be able to satisfy our cash requirements through at least the first quarter of calendar 2015 without the need to materially modify our operating plan.We understand our continued existence is dependent on our ability to generate positive operating cash flow, achieve profitability on a sustained basis and generate improved performance. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability and we are unable to obtain additional financing to supplement our cash position, our ability to maintain our current level of operations could be materially and adversely affected. There is no guarantee we will be able to achieve profitability.
2. Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of APG and our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The accompanying interim financial statements at March 31, 2014 are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2013 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The balance sheet at September 30, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date; certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations, although we believe the disclosures which have been made herein are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not misleading. The results of operations for the interim periods reported are not necessarily indicative of those that
may be reported for a full year. In our opinion, all adjustments which are necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of March 31, 2014 and the operating results for the interim periods ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 have been included.
3. Certificates of Deposit
All certificate of deposit investments have an original maturity of more than three months but less than three years and are stated at original purchase price which approximates fair value. As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, we have pledged a $300,000 certificate of deposit as collateral for outstanding loans with Iowa State Bank.
4. Receivables
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful accounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating past due individual customer receivables and considering a customer’s financial condition, credit history, and the current economic conditions. Individual accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible, with any future recoveries recorded as income when received.
Seller’s Note Receivable, Related Party
In conjunction with the July 2009 acquisition of substantially all the American Power Group operating assets, including the name American Power Group (excluding its dual fuel patent), we acquired a promissory note from the previous owners of American Power Group (renamed M&R Development, Inc.), payable to us, in the principal amount of $797,387. The note bears interest at the rate of 5.5% per annum and was based on the difference between the assets acquired and the consideration given.
In conjunction with the 10% Convertible Preferred Stock financing in April 2012, we amended the note to increase the amount of royalties payable under a technology license (see Note 6) that can be applied to the outstanding principal and interest payments to 50% and defer all interest and principal payments due under the note during calendar 2012 and 2013. Thereafter, the aggregate principal amount due under the note was to be paid in eight equal quarterly payments plus interest. In addition, M&R will not be required to make any payments under the note until such time as we begin to make royalty payments and then, those payments will be limited to a maximum of 50% of any royalty payment due M&R on a quarterly basis. No payments have been made under the amended note as of March 31, 2014. We have classified 100% of the balance as long term. We consider this a related party note as one of the former owners of American Power Group is now an employee of ours.
5. Inventory
Raw material inventory primarily consists of dual fuel conversion components. Work in progress includes materials, labor and direct overhead associated with incomplete dual fuel conversion projects. As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, we recorded an inventory valuation allowance of $44,073, respectively.
All inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market on the first-in first-out (FIFO) method. Inventory consists of the following:
|
| | | | | | | |
| March 31, 2014 | | September 30, 2013 |
Raw materials | $ | 899,540 |
| | $ | 895,905 |
|
Work in progress | 17,625 |
| | 11,423 |
|
Finished goods | 3,862 |
| | 731 |
|
Total inventory | $ | 921,027 |
| | $ | 908,059 |
|
6. Intangible Assets
We review intangibles for impairment annually, or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our intangible assets below their carrying value.
In conjunction with the American Power Group acquisition and license agreement, we recorded intangible assets of $500,000 associated with the execution of a long term technology license agreement and $500,000 associated with the purchase of the dual fuel conversion technology. Both values are being amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of 120 months. Amortization expenses associated with the long term technology license agreement and the purchased dual fuel conversion technology amounted to $25,000 and $50,000 for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $466,667 at March 31, 2014 and $416,666 at September 30, 2013.
In conjunction with the 10% Convertible Preferred Stock financing in April 2012, we amended the M&R technology license agreement to modify the calculation and the timing of the royalty payments. Under the provisions of this amendment, effective April 27, 2012, the monthly royalty due is the lesser of 10% of net sales or 30% of pre-royalty EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest,
Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization). No royalties will be earned and due until such time as our cumulative EBITDA commencing April 1, 2012 is positive on a cumulative basis. During the three months and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we incurred $0 royalties to M&R.
A critical component of our dual fuel aftermarket conversion solution is the internally developed software component of our electronic control unit. The software allows us to seamlessly and constantly monitor and control the various gaseous fuels to maximize performance and emission reduction while remaining within all original OEM diesel engine performance parameters. We have developed a base software application and EPA's testing protocol for both our Outside Useful Life ("OUL") and Intermediate Useful Life ("IUL") engine applications, which will be customized for each engine family approved in order to maximize the performance of the respective engine family.
As of March 31, 2014, we have capitalized $3,734,195 of software development costs associated with our OUL ($1,801,506) and IUL ($1,932,689) applications, which will be amortized on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life of 60 months for OUL applications and 84 months for IUL applications. Amortization costs for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $109,488 and $218,976 and $48,457 and $98,995, respectively.
Amortization expense associated with acquisition related intangibles during the next five years is anticipated to be:

9. Product Warranty Costs
We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties for our dual fuel products at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect our warranty reserves include the number of units sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty repairs, and the cost per repair. We assess the adequacy of the warranty provision and we may adjust this provision if necessary. The increase in warranty reserve and the claims processed at March 31, 2014 and for the year ended September 30, 2013, are attributable to the increase in our revenue during those periods.
The following table provides the detail of the change in our product warranty accrual relating to dual fuel products as of:

This note is due April 1, 2015 and bears interest of 7%. We have collateralized the obligation by: (i) granting to the lender a security interest in our $300,000 certificate of deposit and certain additional collateral and (ii) pledging to the lender, as additional collateral, 2,000,000 shares of our Common Stock.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain statements that are “forward-looking.” These forward-looking statements and other information are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by us using information currently available. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “should” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events, are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and are not guaranties of future performance. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or using other similar expressions.
In accordance with the provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 2005, we are making investors aware that such forward-looking statements, because they relate to future events, are by their very nature subject to many important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from our predictions include those discussed in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. Although we have sought to identify the most significant risks to our business, we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized, nor can there be any assurance that we have identified all possible issues which we might face. In addition, assumptions relating to budgeting, marketing, product development and other management decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter our marketing, capital expenditure or other budgets, which may in turn affect our financial position and results of operations. For all of these reasons, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof. We assume no responsibility to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise except as required by law.
The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013.
Results of Operations
Three Months ended March 31, 2014 Compared to the Three Months ended March 31, 2013
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased $593,673 or 32% to $1,258,489 as compared to net sales of $1,852,162 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. We believe the unusually colder than normal weather conditions in North America during the quarter negatively impacted the results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as customers delayed conversions due to harsh installation conditions or vehicle availability. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 included approximately $1.3 million or 70% of the quarterly revenue associated with an oil and gas conversion order relating to the full turnkey conversion of multiple engines in the high pressure fracturing market. North American stationary revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 were approximately $835,000 which was approximately $490,000 or 142% higher when compared to North American stationary revenues for the same period of the prior year of approximately $345,000, adjusted for the large turnkey conversion order discussed above. Domestic vehicular revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $271,673 or 312% to $358,818. The increase was attributable to increased market exposure and sales through our WheelTime member distributor/installer network and the ability to actively solicit customer orders due to the increased number of EPA approvals we have received to date.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 our gross profit was $346,971 or 28% of net sales as compared to a gross profit of $716,356 or 39% of net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease in gross profit is attributable to the decrease in oil and gas stationary revenue and relative higher unabsorbed overhead costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased $333,270 or 26% to $932,474 as compared to $1,265,744 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 included approximately $361,000 of one-time, non-cash amortization expense associated with the WheelTime member incentive warrants which vested in 2013.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, interest and financing expense decreased $1,881 or 4% to $44,897 as compared to $46,778 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased $45,017 or 7% to $655,526 or ($0.01) per basic share as compared to a net loss of $610,509 or ($0.01) per basic share for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The calculation of net loss per share available for Common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, reflects the inclusion of 10% Convertible Preferred Stock quarterly dividends of $235,447 and $187,391 associated with the issuance of the 10% Convertible Preferred Stock.
Six Months ended March 31, 2014 Compared to the Six Months ended March 31, 2013
Net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2014 increased $373,895 or 14% to $3,101,010 as compared to net sales of $2,727,115 for the six months ended March 31, 2013. We believe the unusually colder than normal weather conditions in North America during the quarter negatively impacted the results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as customers delayed conversions due harsh installation conditions or vehicle availability. The results for the six months ended March 31, 2013 included approximately $1.3 million or 48% of the year to date revenue associated with an oil and gas conversion order relating to the full turnkey conversion of multiple engines in the high pressure fracturing market. North American stationary revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2014 were approximately $2.2 million which was approximately $1.4 million or 201% higher when compared to compared to North American stationary revenues for the same period of the prior year of approximately $171,000, adjusted for the large turnkey conversion order discussed above. Domestic vehicular revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2014 increased approximately $317,208 or 56% to $878,856. The increase was attributable to increased market exposure and sales through our WheelTime member distributor/installer network and the ability to actively solicit customer orders due to the increased number of EPA approvals received to date.
During the six months ended March 31, 2014, our gross profit was $1,248,583 or 40% of net sales as compared to $1,016,905 or 37% of net sales for the six months ended March 31, 2013. The increase was attributable to higher revenue and relative lower overhead costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2014 decreased $224,535 or 10% to $1,924,091 as compared to $2,148,626 for the six months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to approximately $393,000 of one-time, non-cash amortization expense associated with the WheelTime member incentive warrants which vested during the six months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease was offset by higher wages of approximately $145,000 associated with an increased number of employees.
During the six months ended March 31, 2014, interest and financing expense increased $3,635 or 4% to $91,004 as compared to $87,369 for the six months ended March 31, 2013.
Our net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2014 decreased $431,195 or 34% to $819,100 or ($0.02) per basic share as compared to a net loss of $1,250,295 or ($0.03) per basic share for the six months ended March 31, 2013. The calculation of net loss per share available for Common shareholders for the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, reflects the inclusion of quarterly dividends of $480,486 and $400,096, respectively, paid on our 10% Convertible Preferred Stock.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2014, we had $1,180,429 in cash, cash equivalents and restricted certificates of deposit and working capital of $1,659,158.
Based on our fiscal 2014 operating budget, cash on hand at March 31, 2014 and anticipated availability under our bank working capital line, we believe we will be able to satisfy our cash requirements through at least the first quarter of calendar 2015 without the need to materially modify our operating plan.We understand our continued existence is dependent on our ability to generate positive operating cash flow, achieve profitability on a sustained basis and generate improved performance. If we are unable to achieve and sustain profitability and we are unable to obtain additional financing to supplement our cash position, our ability to maintain our current level of operations could be materially and adversely affected. There is no guarantee we will be able to achieve profitability.
The Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows reflect events for the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 as they affect our liquidity. During the six months ended March 31, 2014, net cash used in operating activities was $718,403. Our net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2014 was $819,100. Our cash flow was positively impacted by the following non-cash expenses and changes to our working capital: $491,824 of depreciation, amortization and stock options. However, a decrease of $549,217 related to accounts receivable, inventory, other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses was offset by prepaids and assets related to discontinued operations.
During the six months ended March 31, 2013, net cash used in operating activities was $983,181. Our net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2013 was $1,250,295. While our cash flow was positively impacted by the following non-cash expenses and changes to our working capital: $721,195 of depreciation, amortization, stock options and an increase of $556,785 in accounts payable which was offset by an increased investment in software development and inventory..
Net cash used in investing activities was $328,868 for the six months ended March 31, 2014, reflecting the capitalization of $218,635 of costs associated with our dual fuel electronic control unit engine family software applications and the purchase of
$110,233 of property, plant and equipment. Net cash used in investing activities was $1,526,843 for the six months ended March 31, 2013, reflecting the capitalization of $786,101 of costs associated with our dual fuel electronic control unit engine family software applications and the purchase of $740,742 of property, plant and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $243,531 during the six months ended March 31, 2014, reflecting the proceeds of $575,000 from the credit facility plus $38,302 of proceeds from exercised stock options. Payments made on notes payable totaled $77,447 and we paid our 10% Preferred Stockholders $283,563 of 10% preferred dividends. Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,566,038 during the six months ended March 31, 2013, reflecting $2,656,211 in proceeds form the sale of 10% convertible preferred stock, net of fees, $14,781 of proceeds from exercised stock options and the proceeds of $78,050 from our credit facility. Payments made on notes payable totaled $72,734 and we paid our Preferred Stockholders $110,270 of 10% preferred dividends.
Effects of Inflation and Changing Prices
Generally, we are exposed to the effects of inflation and changing prices. Given that our dual fuel conversion technology replaces a certain percentage of diesel fuel with natural gas, we would be impacted by any material change in the net fuel savings between the two fuels (for example, if diesel fuel prices decrease and natural gas prices increase). We have generally been unaffected by interest rate changes in the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, because we no longer maintain any floating-rate debt.
Environmental Liability
There are no known material environmental violations or assessments.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required pursuant to Item 305(e) of Regulation S-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of March 31, 2014. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management applies judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2014, our disclosure controls and procedures were (1) designed to ensure that material information relating to the company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to our chief executive officer and chief financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report was being prepared and (2) effective.
No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2014 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
