SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING PRINICPLES
|
The following accounting principles and practices are set forth to facilitate the understanding of data presented in the financial statements:
Nature of operations
AMP Holding Inc., formerly known as Title Starts Online, Inc. (the Company), incorporated in the State of Nevada in 2007 with $3,100 of capital from the issuance of common shares to the founding shareholder. On August 11, 2008 the Company received a Notice of Effectiveness from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and on September 18, 2008, the Company closed a public offering in which it accepted subscriptions for an aggregate of 200,000 shares of its common stock, raising $50,000 less offering costs of $46,234. With this limited capital the Company did not commence operations and remained a “shell company” (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).
On December 28, 2009, the Company entered into and closed a Share Exchange Agreement with the Shareholders of Advanced Mechanical Products, Inc. (n/k/a AMP Electric Vehicles, Inc.) (AMP) pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding securities of AMP in exchange for 14,890,904 shares of the Company’s common stock. Considering that, following the merger, the AMP Shareholders control the majority of the outstanding voting common stock of the Company, and effectively succeeded the Company’s otherwise minimal operations to those that are AMP. AMP is considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-merger transaction. A reverse-merger transaction is considered and accounted for as a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the issuance of AMP securities for net monetary assets of the Company, which are deminimus, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, goodwill or other intangible assets have not been recognized in connection with this reverse merger transaction. AMP is the surviving entity and the historical financials following the reverse merger transaction will be those of AMP. The Company was a shell company immediately prior to the acquisition of AMP pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement. As a result of such acquisition, the Company operations are now focused on the design, marketing and sale of modified automobiles with an all-electric power train and battery systems. Consequently, we believe that acquisition has caused the Company to cease to be a shell company as it now has operations. The Company formally changed its name to AMP Holding Inc. on May 24, 2010.
AMP, a development stage company, designs, sells and delivers modified automobiles with an all-electric drivetrain and battery system that allows the vehicle to perform just like a vehicle with an internal combustion engine, but with no emissions or burning of fossil fuels. Using its drivetrain system, the Company converts an existing vehicle to an all-electric vehicle instead of a vehicle that burns gasoline. AMP’s vision is to engineer electric drivetrains and to be a supplier and integrator for Crossover and SUV sized vehicles that are popular with both fleets and consumers. The largest vehicle segment in the U.S. is the SUV segment and AMP has one of the only electric full size SUV solutions available. This is due to AMP’s patent pending, powerful, yet highly efficient electric powertrain. Revenues since the inception of the Company, February 20, 2007, through the date of these financial statements have not been significant and consist of customer vehicle conversions and sales of converted vehicles.
Development stage company
Based on the Company's business plan, it is a development stage company since planned principal operations resulting in revenue have not fully commenced. Accordingly, the Company presents its financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that apply to developing enterprises. As a development stage enterprise, the Company discloses its retained earnings (or deficit accumulated) during the development stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from commencement of development stage to the current balance sheet date. The development stage began in 2007 when the Company was organized.

Basis of presentation
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has limited revenues and has negative working capital and stockholders’ deficits. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and the success of its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.
The Company has continued to raise capital. Management believes the proceeds from these offerings, future offerings, and the Company’s anticipated revenue provides an opportunity to continue as a going concern. If additional funding is required, the Company plans to obtain working capital from either equity financing from the sale of common and/or preferred stock.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions and therefore, do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, however, in the opinion of management contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be attained in subsequent periods or for the year ending December 31, 2011.
Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operation or stockholders’ equity (deficit).
Financial instruments
The carrying amounts of financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, inventory, cash overdraft, accounts payable and short-term debt approximate fair value because of the relatively short maturity of these instruments.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include investments that are highly liquid, readily convertible to cash and with maturities of 90 days or less at the purchase date.
Inventory
Inventory, stated at cost, includes vehicles being converted for sale.

Property and depreciation
Property and equipment is recorded at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed. When property and equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, a gain or loss is realized for the difference between the net book value of the asset and the proceeds realized thereon. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method, based upon the following estimated useful lives:
Software: 6 years
Equipment: 5 years
Vehicles and prototypes: 3 - 5 years
Capital stock
On April 22, 2010 the directors of the Company approved a forward stock split of the common stock of the Company on a 14:1 basis. On May 12, 2010 the stockholders of the Company voted to approve the amendment of the certificate of incorporation resulting in a decrease of the number of shares of Common stock. The Company filed a 14c definitive information statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and mailed the same to its shareholders. Management filed the certificate of amendment decreasing the authorized shares of common stock with the State of Nevada on September 8, 2010.
The capital stock of the Company is as follows:
Preferred Stock - The Company has authorized 75,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $.001 per share. These shares may be issued in series with such rights and preferences as may be determined by the Board of Directors. The Series A Stock is convertible, at any time at the option of the holder, into common shares of the Company based on a conversion price of $0.336 per share. The holders of the Series A Stock are not entitled to convert the Series A Stock and receive shares of common stock such that the number of shares of common stock held by them in the aggregate and their affiliates after such conversion or exercise does not exceed 4.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Series A Stock has voting rights on an as converted basis, does not pay dividends, and does not provide any liquidation rights.
Common Stock - The Company has authorized 250,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $.001 per share.
Revenue recognition / customer deposits
It is the Company's policy that revenues will be recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, "Revenue Recognition". Under SAB 104, product revenues (or service revenues) are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or service has been performed), the sales price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Customer deposits include monies from customers to reserve a production slot for conversion of an OEM power train to the AMP all electric power train. The final retail price and delivery date are yet to be determined. Customer deposits are subject to a full refund at the request of the customer.
Advertising
Advertising and public relation costs are charged to operations when incurred. Advertising and public relation expense was approximately $76,000 and $119,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and $246,000 and $255,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and $789,000 for the period from inception to September 30, 2011, respectively, consisting primarily of travel and related expenses for attendance at car shows and industry expositions.

Income taxes
With the consent of its shareholders, at the date of inception, AMP elected under the Internal Revenue Code to be taxed as an S corporation. Since shareholders of an S corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the Company’s taxable income, an S corporation is generally not subject to either federal or state income taxes at the corporate level. On December 28, 2009 pursuant to the merger transaction the Company revoked its election to be taxed as an S-corporation.
As no taxable income has occurred from the date of this merger to September 30, 2011 deferred tax assets of approximately $2,930,000 are fully reserved, and no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes has been included in the financial statements. Net operating losses of approximately $3,591,000 are available for carryover to be used against taxable income generated through 2030, and net operating losses of approximately $5,029,000 are available for carryover to be used against taxable income generated through 2031. The Company had not filed income tax returns during its period as a shell company.
Uncertain tax positions
The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. Those provisions clarify the accounting and recognition for income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the Company’s income tax returns. The Company’s income tax filings are subject to audit by various taxing authorities. The years of filings open to these authorities and available for audit are 2007 - 2009. The Company's policy with regard to interest and penalties is to recognize interest through interest expense and penalties through other expense. In evaluating the Company’s tax provisions and accruals, future taxable income, and the reversal of temporary differences, interpretations and tax planning strategies are considered. The Company believes their estimates are appropriate based on current facts and circumstances.
Research and development costs
The Company expenses research and development costs as they are incurred. Research and development expense incurred was approximately $1,461,000 and $368,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and $3,717,000 and $1,225,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and 2010, and $8,496,000 for the period from inception to September 30, 2011, respectively, consisting of consulting, payroll, payroll taxes, engineering temporaries, purchased supplies, legal fees, parts and small tools.
Basic and diluted loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. For all periods, all of the Company’s common stock equivalents were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share because they were anti-dilutive, due to the Company’s net losses.
Stock based compensation
The Company accounts for its stock based compensation in accordance with “Share-Based Payments” (codified in FASB ASC Topic 718 and 505). The Company recognizes in its statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and warrants issued to employees and non-employees. The fair value is estimated on the date of grant using a lattice-based valuation model that uses assumptions concerning expected volatility, expected term, and the expected risk-free rate of return. For the awards granted in 2011 and 2010, the expected volatility was estimated by management as 50% based on a range of forecasted results. The expected term of the awards granted was assumed to be the contract life of the option or warrant (two, three, five or 10 years as determined in the specific arrangement). The risk-free rate of return was based on market yields in effect on the date of each grant for United States Treasury debt securities with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award.

Related party transactions
Certain stockholders and stockholder family members have advanced funds or performed services for the Company. These services are believed to be at market rates for similar services from non-related parties. Related party accounts payable are segregated in the balance sheet. An experimental vehicle was sold to a stockholder in 2010 for $25,000 which also approximates the selling price to non-related parties.
Subsequent events
The Company evaluates events and transactions occurring subsequent to the date of the financial statements for matters requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
On October 26, 2011 the Company entered into subscription agreements with various accredited investors who purchased 175,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $105,000 less offering costs of $10,500 plus purchase warrants of 87,500 which are exercisable for two years at $0.80 per share.
On October 31, 2011, a shareholder, director and officer (a related party) of the Company loaned the Company $200,000. In consideration of such loan, the Company issued a Promissory Note which bears interest at 15% per annum and matures on November 30, 2011. If the principal is not paid by the Maturity Date, the Company shall issue a common stock purchase warrant to acquire 100,000 shares of common stock exercisable for a term of two years at an exercise price equal to the closing price on the Maturity Date. Further, in the event that the aforementioned common stock purchase warrant is issued, the interest rate shall be decreased to 10% per annum. The Note is secured by the assets of the Company equal to the value of the Note as set forth in a security agreement; provided, however, action may only be taken under the security agreement in the event that the Note is not paid in full on or prior to December 31, 2011.
On October 18, 2011 the City of Loveland, OH loaned the Company $50,000 in consideration for the Company’s agreement to relocate and operate and retain a workforce within the City’s limits. The loan is payable in five annual payments of $10,241 including interest at 0.8%. Each annual payment may be forgiven by the City upon the Company meeting minimum job creation benchmarks of an average of 40 full time employees during the preceding 12 month period and an average monthly payroll of $250,000.
Long-term debt consists of a $26,822 note payable to a bank due in monthly installments of $635 including interest at 5.04%, with the final payment due August 2015. The note is secured by equipment which has a net book value of $26,186 at September 30, 2011. Aggregate maturities of long-term debt are as follows:

On September 30, 2011, a shareholder advanced $62,000 to the Company for working capital needs. In consideration of such advance, the Company issued a Promissory Note with interest at 6% per annum due October 31, 2011. On November 30, 2009, a shareholder advanced $43,000 to the Company for working capital needs. In consideration of such advance, the Company issued a Promissory Note with interest at 3% per annum due November 1, 2011. The notes were unsecured and are currently repayable upon demand.

Options to directors, officers and employees
The Company maintains, as adopted by the board of directors, the 2010 Incentive Stock Plan and the 2011 Incentive Stock Plan (the plans) providing for the issuance of up to 3,000,000 options to employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company. Incentive stock options granted under the plans may only be granted with an exercise price of not less than fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant (110% of fair market value for incentive stock options granted to principal stockholders). Non-qualified stock options granted under the plans may only be granted with an exercise price of not less than 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Awards under the plans may be either vested or unvested options. The unvested options vest ratably over eight quarters for options with a five year term and after one year for options with a two year term.
In addition to the plan, the Company has granted, on various dates, stock options to directors, officers and employees to purchase common stock of the Company. The terms, exercise prices and vesting of these awards vary.

RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS:
|
On July 1, 2009, the FASB released the Codification becoming the single source of authoritative nongovernmental generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America. The Codification is a reorganization of current GAAP into a topical format that eliminates the current GAAP hierarchy and establishes two levels of guidance — authoritative and non-authoritative. According to the FASB, all “non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature” that is not included in the Codification would be considered non-authoritative. The FASB has indicated that the Codification does not change current GAAP. Instead, the proposed changes aim to (1) reduce the time and effort it takes for users to research accounting questions and (2) improve the usability of current accounting standards. The Codification is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009.
In January 2010, the FASB issued new guidance in ASU 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, which requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair value measurements including (i) significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and (ii) information on purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. This new guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for Level 3 reconciliation disclosures which are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. There was no material impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of this pronouncement.
In February 2010, the FASB amended ASU 855, “Subsequent Events—Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements.” This amends the subtopic that requires an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued, and no longer requires disclosure of the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. This alleviates potential conflicts between the Subtopic 855-10 and the SEC’s requirements.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
Some of the statements contained in this Form 10-Q that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" which can be identified by the use of terminology such as "estimates," "projects," "plans," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," or the negative or other variations, or by discussions of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. We urge you to be cautious of the forward-looking statements, that such statements, which are contained in this Form 10-Q, reflect our current beliefs with respect to future events and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors affecting our operations, market growth, services, products and licenses. No assurances can be given regarding the achievement of future results, as actual results may differ materially as a result of the risks we face, and actual events may differ from the assumptions underlying the statements that have been made regarding anticipated events. Factors that may cause actual results, our performance or achievements, or industry results, to differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements include without limitation:
●
|
Our ability to attract and retain management;
|
●
|
Our ability to raise capital when needed and on acceptable terms and conditions;
|
●
|
The intensity of competition;
|
●
|
General economic conditions;
|
●
|
Changes in regulations;
|
●
|
Whether the market for electric vehicles continues to grow, and, if it does, the pace at which it may grow; and
|
●
|
Our ability to compete against large competitors in a rapidly changing market for electric vehicles.
|
All written and oral forward-looking statements made in connection with this Form 10-Q that are attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. Given the uncertainties that surround such statements, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
We consider accounting policies involving significant judgments and assumptions by management that have, or could have, a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets or on income (loss) to be critical accounting policies. We consider the following to be our critical accounting policies: basis of presentation, development stage company, revenue recognition, and income taxes.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has limited revenues and has negative working capital and stockholders’ deficits. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
In view of these matters, continuation as a going concern is dependent upon the continued operations of the Company, which in turn is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financial requirements, raise additional capital, and the success of its future operations. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amount and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should the Company not continue as a going concern.
The Company has continued to raise capital since the merger. Management believes the proceeds from these offerings, future offerings, and the Company’s anticipated revenue provides an opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. If additional funding is required, the Company plans to obtain working capital from either equity financing from the sale of common and/or preferred stock.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Form 10-Q instructions and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be attained in subsequent periods or for the year ending December 31, 2011.
Certain reclassifications were made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operation or stockholders’ equity (deficit).
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY - The Company is considered a development stage company since planned principal operations resulting in sustaining revenue have not fully commenced. Accordingly, the Company presents its financial statements in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America that apply to developing enterprises. As a development stage enterprise, the Company discloses its retained earnings (or deficit accumulated) during the development stage and the cumulative statements of operations and cash flows from commencement of development stage to the current balance sheet date. The development stage began in 2007 when the Company was organized.
REVENUE RECOGNITION - It is the Company's policy that revenues will be recognized in accordance with SEC Staff Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, "Revenue Recognition". Under SAB 104, product revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed and determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Customer deposit liabilities include monies from customers to reserve a production slot for conversion of an OEM power train to the AMP all electric power train. The final retail price and delivery date are yet to be determined, and the deposits are subject to a full refund at the request of the depositor. Revenues since the inception of the Company in 2007 through the date of these financial statements have not been significant and consist of sales of a limited number of experimental vehicles.
INCOME TAXES - As no taxable income has occurred since the inception of the Company, and any deferred tax assets would be fully reserved, no provision or liability for federal or state income taxes has been included in the financial statements. Net operating losses of approximately $3,591,000 are available for carryover to be used against taxable income generated through 2030, and net operating losses of approximately $5,029,000 are available for carryover to be used against taxable income generated through 2031.
Overview
On December 28, 2009, we entered into and closed a Share Exchange Agreement with the AMP Shareholders pursuant to which we acquired 100% of the outstanding securities of AMP in exchange for 14,890,904 shares of our common stock. Considering that, following the merger, the AMP Shareholders control the majority of our outstanding voting common stock and we effectively succeeded our otherwise minimal operations to those that are theirs, AMP is considered the accounting acquirer in this reverse-merger transaction. A reverse-merger transaction is considered, and accounted for as, a capital transaction in substance; it is equivalent to the issuance of AMP securities for our net monetary assets, which are deminimus, accompanied by a recapitalization. Accordingly, we have not recognized any goodwill or other intangible assets in connection with this reverse merger transaction. AMP is the surviving and continuing entities and the historical financials following the reverse merger transaction will be those of AMP. We were a "shell company" (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) immediately prior to our acquisition of AMP pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement. As a result of such acquisition, our operations our now focused on the design, marketing and sale of modified automobiles with an all electric drivetrain and battery systems. Consequently, we believe that acquisition has caused us to cease to be a shell company as we no longer have nominal operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2011, we had current assets of $303,336 including cash and cash equivalents of $103,917 and current liabilities of $1,147,772. As of December 31, 2010, we had current assets of $453,190 including cash and cash equivalents of $385,293 and current liabilities of $784,608.
On October 18, 2011 the City of Loveland, OH loaned the Company $50,000 in consideration for the Company’s agreement to relocate and operate and retain a workforce within the City’s limits. The loan is payable in five annual payments of $10,241 including interest at 0.8%. Each annual payment may be forgiven by the City upon the Company meeting minimum job creation benchmarks of an average of 40 full time employees during the preceding 12 month period and an average monthly payroll of $250,000.
On October 31, 2011, Stephen Burns, a director and President of the Company loaned the Company $200,000. In consideration of such loan, the Company issued Mr. Burns a Promissory Note which bears interest at 15% per annum and matures on November 30, 2011.
Presently, due to the lack of significant revenue we are not able to meet our operating and capital expenses. There is doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, as the continuation of our business is dependent upon successful roll out of our products and maintaining a break even or profitable level of operations. We have incurred operating losses since inception, and this is likely to continue through the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011. Our independent auditors, for the year ended December 31, 2010, have issued an opinion on our financial statements that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We require funds to enable us to address our minimum current and ongoing expenses, expand marketing and promotion activity connected with the development and marketing of our products and to increase market share. Our cash on hand will not be sufficient to satisfy all of our cash requirements as we continue to progress and expand. We estimate that we will require between $12,000,000 and $15,000,000 to carry out our business plan for the next twelve months. Because we cannot anticipate when we will be able to generate adequate revenues from sales, we will need to raise additional funds to continue to develop our business, respond to competitive pressures and to respond to unanticipated requirements or expenses. If we are not able to generate significant revenues from the sale of our products, we will not be able to maintain our operations or achieve a profitable level of operations.
The financial requirements of our Company will be dependent upon the financial support through credit facilities and additional sales of our equity securities. The issuance of additional equity securities by us may result in a significant dilution in the equity interests of our current shareholders. Should additional financing be needed, there is no assurance that we will be able to obtain further funds required for our continued operations or that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
We can give no assurance that we will be successful in implementing any phase, all phases of the proposed business plan, or that we will be able to continue as a going concern.
Credit Facility
Presently we have no revolving Credit Facility established. There is no guarantee that we will be able to enter into an agreement to establish a line of credit or that if we do enter into such agreement that it will be on favorable terms.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.
Distribution Agreement
On April 14, 2011, the Company entered into a Distribution Agreement with Northern Lights Energy ehf. (“NLE”), an Icelandic company that operates in the energy and transportation sectors, pursuant to which the Company will manufacture, assemble, produce, and sell Company products to NLE in exchange for granting NLE the exclusive right within the country of Iceland (the “Territory”) to:
·
|
promote the use of the Company’s electric vehicles in the Territory, to develop and maintain a sales and service;
|
·
|
network the Company products throughout the Territory to retail, business, fleet, institutional and governmental customers;
|
·
|
promote the sale of Company products throughout the Territory;
|
·
|
promote the Company brand throughout the Territory;
|
·
|
advertise the Company’s products throughout the Territory; and
|
·
|
manage customer relationships and provide best in class after sales service to customers of Company products in the Territory.
|
NLE will buy and sell the Company products in its own name and for its own account. The term of the Distribution Agreement commenced upon the signing of the agreement and will continue through December 31, 2017. The Company did not issue or receive any material financial consideration (i.e., cash, stock, options, warrants, etc.) in exchange for entering into the Distribution Agreement. The Agreement contemplates three separate and interrelated phases.
Demonstration Phase
The demonstration phase (the “Demonstration Phase”) is to last for a period of six months commencing on the signing of the Agreement, during which the Company will provide NLE two Company vehicles (the “Demonstration Vehicles”) for use by NLE in the Territory solely for product testing by NLE, for display, demonstration or other marketing purposes reasonably acceptable to the Company. The two demonstration vehicles were shipped to NLE as planned. The Demonstration Vehicles will remain the sole property of the Company. During the Demonstration Phase and continuing throughout the Development Phase (defined below), NLE will use its best efforts develop and expand the electric vehicle market in the Territory and will actively and diligently appoint and maintain experienced and competent public relations and advertising personnel and agencies to prepare market for Company products and to promote Company products and the Company brand within the Territory. NLE will explore using various media in its efforts to develop the market, including, but not limited to, the possibility of developing, in cooperation with the Company, a customized website and/or online experience to promote Company products and the Company brand within the Territory.
Development Phase
The second phase of the Agreement, the development phase (the “Development Phase”), is to commence on a mutually agreed upon date, but no later than October 1, 2011, and will continue through December 31, 2012. During the Development Stage, the Company will sell to NLE, and NLE will Purchase from the Company, 250 of the Company’s vehicles (the “Initial Inventory”). The Initial Inventory shall be comprised of one or more vehicle models mutually agreeable to the Company and NLE. From and after the commencement of the Development Phase, and continuing thereafter throughout the Term, NLE will be solely responsible for the servicing and maintenance of all Company products in the Territory. AMP was informed by NLE that the anticipated repeal of the value added tax for electric vehicles in Iceland has not yet been approved, thereby pushing the development phase to the 2012 calendar year.
Sales and Marketing Phase
The third phase of the Agreement, the sales and marketing phase (the “Sales and Marketing Phase”), is to commence at the end of the Development Phase and end on December 31, 2017. At or prior to the commencement of the Sales and Marketing Phase, NLE will prepare and submit to the Company for its approval, a business plan for the marketing, sales, and service of Company products within the Territory (the “Initial Business Plan”). The Initial Business Plan will include such information as the Company may reasonably require but, at a minimum, will contain a distribution, sales, marketing, and after sales plan outlining targets, strategies and plans for the following year. At all times throughout the Sales and Marketing Phase, NLE will devote to its activities under the Agreement sufficient assets and resources to effectively, ethically, and lawfully sell and promote the purchase and use of Company products by customers in the Territory and to otherwise carry out its obligations. To satisfy this commitment, NLE agrees, at a minimum, to appoint and maintain an experienced automotive team to execute the operations, sales, marketing and after sales for the Company’s products, including an adequate staff of sales personnel who are fully trained and knowledgeable about the Company’s products to support sales activities throughout the Territory and an adequate staff of trained engineers and service technicians to handle after sale services throughout the Territory; maintain an adequate selection and stock of the Company’s products as is necessary to fulfill customers’ demands and to ensure timely repair and/or replacement under warranty or non-warranty service; ensure that each customer’s purchase and delivery experience is satisfactory; appoint and maintain experienced and competent public relations and advertising personnel and agencies to promote the Company’s products and the Company brand throughout the Territory. During the Sales and Marketing Phase, the Company will sell to NLE, and NLE will purchase from the Company, 750 Company vehicles, or such greater number of the Company’s vehicles as the Parties may mutually agree. Northern will submit binding orders for purchase and delivery of at least 150 Company vehicles in each calendar year of the Sales and Marketing Phase.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As a smaller reporting company, we are not required to include disclosure under this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2011, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on the evaluation and the identification of the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described below, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2011, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have conducted an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011. Management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting was conducted using the criteria in Internal Control over Financial Reporting – Guidance for Smaller Public Companies issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO").
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with management's assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011:
1. The Company has not established adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to mitigate the risk of management override, specifically because there are few employees and therefore there is lack of segregation of duties. In addition, the Company has installed accounting software that does not prevent erroneous or unauthorized changes to previous reporting periods and does not provide an adequate audit trail of entries made in the accounting software. However, although our controls are not effective, these significant weaknesses did not result in any material misstatements in our financial statements.
2. In addition, there is insufficient oversight of accounting principles implementation and insufficient oversight of external audit functions.
3. There is a strong reliance on outside consultants to review and adjust the annual and quarterly financial statements, to monitor new accounting principles, and to ensure compliance with GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.
4. There is a strong reliance on the external attorneys to review and edit the annual and quarterly filings and to ensure compliance with SEC disclosure requirements.
Because of the material weaknesses noted above, management has concluded that we did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011, based on Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies issued by COSO.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As a small business, without a viable business and revenues, the Company does not have the resources to install a dedicated staff with deep expertise in all facets of SEC disclosure and GAAP compliance. As is the case with many small businesses, the Company will continue to work with its external consultants and attorneys as it relates to new accounting principles and changes to SEC disclosure requirements. The Company has found that this approach worked well in the past and believes it to be the most cost effective solution available for the foreseeable future.
The Company will conduct a review of existing sign-off and review procedures as well as document control protocols for critical accounting spreadsheets. The Company will also increase management's review of key financial documents and records.
As a small business, the Company does not have the resources to fund sufficient staff to ensure a complete segregation of responsibilities within the accounting function. However, Company management does review, and will increase the review of, financial statements on a monthly basis. These actions, in addition to the improvements identified above, will minimize any risk of a potential material misstatement occurring.
On January 12, 2011, Paul V. Gonzales and the Company entered into an Employment Agreement pursuant to which Mr. Gonzales agreed to serve as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Also, on January 12, 2011, Paul J. Wichmann was hired by the Company as Finance Director. Both of these additions to the Company’s staff should help to alleviate various internal control issues.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
