AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL INDUSTRIES, INC.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of American International Industries, Inc. (“American”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in American's latest Annual Report filed with the SEC on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented have been reflected herein. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Notes to the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited financial statements for the most recent fiscal year as reported in the Form 10-K have been omitted.

Organization, Ownership and Business

 

American International Industries, Inc. ("American"), a Nevada corporation, operates as a diversified holding company with a number of wholly-owned subsidiaries and some partially owned subsidiaries. American is a diversified corporation with interests in industrial/commercial companies and an oil and gas service business. American's business strategy is to acquire controlling equity interests in businesses that it considers undervalued. American's management takes an active role in providing its subsidiaries with access to capital, leveraging synergies and providing management expertise in order to improve its subsidiaries' growth.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Northeastern Plastics, Inc. ("NPI") and American International Texas Properties, Inc. ("AITP"), American International Holdings Corp. (“AMIH”), formerly Delta Seaboard International, Inc. ("Delta"), in which American holds a 93.2% shareholder interest, and Brenham Oil & Gas Corp. (“BOG”), in which American holds a 51.0% interest. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Management's Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

American considers cash and equivalents to include cash on hand and certificates of deposits with banks with an original maturity of three months or less, that American intends to convert.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable consist primarily of trade receivables, net of a valuation allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

American extends credit to customers and other parties in the normal course of business. American regularly reviews outstanding receivables and provides for estimated losses through an allowance for doubtful accounts. In evaluating the level of established reserves, American makes judgments regarding its customers' ability to make required payments, economic events and other factors. As the financial condition of these parties change, circumstances develop or additional information becomes available, adjustments to the allowance for doubtful accounts may be required. When American determines that a customer may not be able to make required payments, American increases the allowance through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made.

Notes Receivable

 

Notes receivable are carried at the expected net realizable value. Impairment of notes receivable is based on management's continued assessment of the collectability of debtors.

 

7

---

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower-of-cost or market on a first-in, first-out basis, and include the cost of the inventories and freight. American assesses the realizability of its inventories based upon specific usage and future utility. A charge to income is taken when factors that would result in a need for a reduction in the valuation, such as excess or obsolete inventory, are noted.

Investment Securities

 

American accounts for its investments in accordance with ASC 320-10, "Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." Management determines the appropriate classification of its investments in marketable securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determination at each balance sheet date. Securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities. Debt securities for which American does not have the intent or ability to hold to maturity and equity securities not classified as trading securities are classified as available-for-sale. The cost of investments sold is determined on the specific identification or the first-in, first-out method. Trading securities are reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings, and available-for-sale securities are also reported at fair value but unrealized gains and losses are included in stockholders' equity. Management determines fair value of its investments based on quoted market prices at each balance sheet date.

 

Oil and Gas Properties, Full Cost Method

 

BOG uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells used to find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development wells including directly related overhead costs and related asset retirement costs are capitalized.

 

Under this method, all costs, including internal costs directly related to acquisition, exploration and development activities, are capitalized as oil and gas property costs. Properties not subject to amortization consist of exploration and development costs that are evaluated on a property-by-property basis. Amortization of these unproved property costs begins when the properties become proved or their values become impaired. BOG assesses overall values of unproved properties, if any, on at least an annual basis or when there has been an indication that impairment in value may have occurred. Impairment of unproved properties is assessed based on management's intention with regard to future development of individually significant properties and the ability of BOG to obtain funds to finance their programs. If the results of an assessment indicate that the properties are impaired, the amount of the impairment is added to the capitalized costs to be amortized.

 

Under this method, sales of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to the net full cost pool with no gain or loss recognized, unless the adjustment would significantly alter the relationship between capitalized costs and proved reserves. If it is determined that the relationship is significantly altered, the corresponding gain or loss will be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Ceiling Test

 

In applying the full cost method, BOG performs an impairment test (ceiling test) at each reporting date, whereby the carrying value of oil and gas properties is compared to the “estimated present value” of its proved reserves, discounted at a 10-percent interest rate of future net revenues, based on current economic and operating conditions at the end of the period, plus the cost of properties not being amortized, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties included in costs being amortized, less the income tax effects related to book and tax basis differences of the properties. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged as an impairment expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, no impairment of oil and gas properties was recorded.

 

Property, Plant, Equipment, Depreciation, Amortization and Long-Lived Assets

 

Long-lived assets include:

 

Property, Plant and Equipment – Assets acquired in the normal course of business are recorded at original cost and may be adjusted for any additional significant improvements after purchase. We depreciate the cost evenly over the assets’ estimated useful lives. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of the assets disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, with any resultant gain or loss being recognized as a component of other income or expense. 

Identifiable intangible assets – These assets are recorded at acquisition cost. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized evenly over their estimated useful lives.

 

At least annually, we review all long-lived assets for impairment. When necessary, we record changes for impairments of long-lived assets for the amount by which the present value of future cash flows, or some other fair value measure, is less than the carrying value of these assets.

---

Revenue Recognition 

 

Revenue is recognized when the earnings process is completed, the risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to the customer, which is generally the same day as delivery or shipment of the product, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Delta receives purchase orders for all of its service work and related pipe sales. All sales are recorded when the work is completed or when the pipe is sold. NPI has purchase orders for all sales, of which many of the items are requested to be container shipped and shipped directly to the end users. All sales are recorded when the inventory items are shipped. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are incurred as a result of a revenue transaction are not included in revenues. American has no significant sales returns or allowances.

 

Income Taxes

 

American is a taxable entity and recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. The effect on the deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the year that includes the enactment date of the rate change. A valuation allowance is used to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. Interest and penalties associated with income taxes are included in selling, general and administrative expense.

 

American has adopted ASC 740-10 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which prescribes a comprehensive model of how a company should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. ASC 740-10 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain position may be recognized if it is "more likely than not" that the position is sustainable, based upon its technical merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. As of September 30, 2014, American had not recorded any tax benefits from uncertain tax positions.

 

Net Loss Per Common Share

 

The basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during a period. Diluted net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss, adjusted on an as if converted basis, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potential dilutive securities. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no potential dilutive securities outstanding.

 

Advertising Costs

 

The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

American sometimes grants shares of stock for goods and services and in conjunction with certain agreements. These grants are accounted for based on the grant date fair values.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Effective January 1, 2008, American adopted the framework for measuring fair value that establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes 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 lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Basis of Fair Value Measurement

 

Level 1    Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2    Inputs reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or the liability; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3    Unobservable inputs reflecting American's own assumptions incorporated in valuation techniques used to determine fair value. These assumptions are required to be consistent with market participant assumptions that are reasonably available.

 

American believes that the fair value of its financial instruments comprising cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, and notes payable approximate their carrying amounts. The interest rates payable by American on its notes payable approximate market rates. The fair values of American's Level 1 financial assets, marketable securities - available for sale, are based on quoted market prices of the identical underlying security. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, American did not have any significant Level 2 or 3 financial assets or liabilities. The following tables provide fair value measurement information for American's marketable securities - available for sale:

Subsequent Events

 

American has evaluated all transactions from September 30, 2014 through the financial statement issuance date for subsequent event disclosure consideration.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

There were various accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.

Note 2 - Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

American maintains its cash and certificates of deposit in commercial accounts at major financial institutions. The FDIC no longer has limits on non-interest bearing accounts. American has not incurred losses related to these deposits.

 

Trade accounts receivable subject American to the potential for credit risk with customers in the retail and distribution sectors.

American reviewed the accounting standards Real Estate - General (ASC 970-10) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (ASC 360-10) to determine the appropriate classification for these properties. According to ASC 970-10, real estate that is held for sale in the ordinary course of business is classified as inventory, which is a current asset. ASC 360-10 provides the following criteria for property to be classified as held for sale:

 

1)        Management with the appropriate authority commits to a plan to sell the asset;

2)        The asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets;

3)        An active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan of sale have been initiated;

4)        The sale of the property or asset within one year is probable and will qualify for accounting purposes as a sale;

5)        The asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and

6)        Actions required to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

 

Management consulted with the real estate brokers for these properties and reviewed the recent interest for each property. Based on our consultations and review, we believe that the sale of these properties within one year is probable. We concluded that all of these criteria have been met for these properties and that they are appropriately classified as held for sale in current assets.

Note 7 - Leases

On March 6, 2014, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Northeastern Plastics, Inc. sold its office warehouse property, a 32,000 sq. ft. office warehouse facility on I-59 in Houston, Texas, to a third party. The property was sold for $1,325,000 in cash. The Company paid selling expenses of $108,314, and received cash proceeds of $1,183,101. The basis in the property and equipment sold was $727,320 on the date of the sale. Because the Company immediately leased back the warehouse from the seller upon closing, the transaction was accounted for as a sales leaseback transaction, pursuant to guidance in ASC 840, Leases. The Company recorded deferred income of $489,366 initially which will be amortized to rent expense over the life of the lease. As of September 30, 2014, the Company recognized $24,568 of the deferred income as gain on sales of assets. The lease term is 10 years and annual base rent is $121,500, and then increases by 2% each year over the 10 year life of the lease. Daniel Dror, Chairman and CEO of American, is a personal guarantor of the lease.

Note 8 - Oil and Gas Properties

 

Brenham uses the full cost method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, to drill and equip exploratory wells used to find proved reserves, and to drill and equip development wells, including directly related overhead costs and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Properties not subject to amortization consist of exploration and development costs that are evaluated on a property-by-property basis. Amortization of these unproved property costs begins when the properties become proved, or their values become impaired and the corresponding costs are added to the capitalized costs subject to amortization. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, depletion of oil and gas properties of $118 and $1,411, respectively, was recorded. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, depletion of oil and gas properties of $23 and $101, respectively, was recorded. Costs of oil and gas properties are amortized using the units of production method. Sales of oil and natural gas properties are accounted for as adjustments to the net full cost pool, and generally, no gain or loss is recognized.

In applying the full cost method, Brenham performs an impairment test (ceiling test) at each reporting date, whereby the carrying value of oil and gas properties is compared to the “estimated present value” of its proved reserves discounted at a 10-percent interest rate of future net revenues, based on current economic and operating conditions at the end of the period, plus the cost of properties not being amortized, plus the lower of cost or fair market value of unproved properties included in costs being amortized, less the income tax effects related to book and tax basis differences of the properties. If capitalized costs exceed this limit, the excess is charged as an impairment expense. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, no impairment of oil and gas properties was recorded.

a)       Royalty interest in 24 acres in Washington County, Texas - The Company has an oil and gas mineral royalty interest, covering a twenty-four acre tract of land located in Washington County, Texas, which is carried on the balance sheet at $0.  The royalty interest is currently leased by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation for a term continuing until the covered minerals are no longer produced in paying quantities from the leased premises.  Royalties on the minerals produced are currently incidental and paid to the Company as follows: (i) for oil and other liquid hydrocarbons, and (ii) for gas (including casing-head gas); the royalty is one-ninth of the net proceeds realized by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation on the sale thereof, less a proportionate part of ad valorem taxes and production, severance, or other excise taxes.  In addition, the Company is entitled to shut-in royalties of $1 per acre of land for every ninety-day period within which one or more of the wells in leased premises, or lands pooled therewith, are capable of producing paying quantities, but such wells are either shut-in or production is not being sold.

b)       Royalty interest in 700 acres in the Permian Basin - On July 22, 2011, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement with Doug Pedrie, Davis Pedrie Associates, LLC and Energex Oil, Inc. (“Sellers”), pursuant to which the Company acquired 700 acres of unproved property located in the Permian Basin near Abilene, Texas.  The agreement provided for the Sellers to complete all oil lease assignments by August 15, 2011.  The purchase consideration for the acquisition is the issuance to Sellers of 2,000,000 restricted common shares of Brenham, valued at $8,400, with an additional 2,000,000 restricted common shares to be issued contingent upon realization of certain production targets in 2012.  On March 8, 2012, this agreement was rescinded and replaced with an agreement that in consideration for the Brenham share issuance; Brenham has a 2.5% overriding royalty interest in all of the leases associated with this property and any properties acquired or renewed in the future within a ten-mile radius.  In addition, the contingency to issue additional shares was removed.

c)       10% working interest in the Pierce Junction Field - On March 12, 2013, Brenham entered into an agreement with an effective date of January 1, 2013, to purchase a 10% working interest in the Pierce Junction Field for $50,000 cash and a $70,000 non-interest bearing note payable due on August 31, 2013.  On May 30, 2013, the holder of this note payable accepted $37,500 as full payment and Brenham recorded $32,500 as a reduction in the value of the oil and gas property due to the decrease in the consideration given to acquire it.

d)       Lease of 394 acres in the Gillock Field - Brenham leased 394 acres in Galveston County for the acquisition of 100% working interest in the Gillock Field from Kemah Development Texas, L.P.

e)        Lease of 332 acres in the Inez Prospect - On January 8, 2014, the Company entered into a letter of intent with a third party to acquire a 332-acre oil and gas lease, the “Inez Prospect,” located in Victoria County, Texas, and the #1 Roberts Unit well-bore, and all the down-hole equipment and surface equipment associated therewith.  On April 10, 2014, the Company and the third party entered into a prospect and lease acquisition agreement.  Pursuant to the agreement, the Company has agreed to acquire 100% of the working interest for a total purchase price of $250,000, consisting of a $20,000 deposit, which was paid during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, and a payment of the remaining $230,000 prior to the beginning of any exploration which is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses at September 30, 2014. Exploration has not yet commenced, and the property is in the process of being sold. However, there can be no assurance that a sale will take place.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements; Market Data

 

As used in this Quarterly Report, the terms "we", "us", "our". "American" and the "Company" means American International Industries, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries.  To the extent that we make any forward-looking statements in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Quarterly Report, we emphasize that forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and our actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements.  Our forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report reflect our current views about future events and are based on assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties.  Generally, forward-looking statements include phrases with words such as   "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "plan", "believe", "seek", "estimate" and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements.

 

Overview

 

American International Industries, Inc., organized under the laws of the State of Nevada in September 1994, is a diversified corporation with interests in industrial companies, oil and gas interests, oilfield supply and service companies, and interests in undeveloped real estate in the Galveston Bay, Texas area.  The Company’s business strategy is to acquire controlling equity interests in undervalued companies and take an active role in its new subsidiaries to improve their growth, by providing its subsidiaries with access to capital, leveraging synergies and providing its subsidiaries with the Company's management expertise.

 

American International Industries, Inc. is a holding company and has four reporting segments and corporate overhead:

Northeastern Plastics ("NPI") - a wholly-owned subsidiary, is a supplier of automotive after-market products and consumer durable goods products to retailers and wholesalers in the automotive after-market and in the consumer durable electrical products markets;

American International Holdings Corp. (“AMIH”), formerly Delta Seaboard International ("Delta") a 93.2% owned subsidiary, was an onshore rig-based well-servicing contracting company providing services to the oil and gas industry. Delta Seaboard Well Service, Inc. ("DSWSI"), a Texas corporation was a wholly-owned subsidiary of AMIH. On April 3, 2012, AMIH sold the operating assets and liabilities of DSWSI.

American International Texas Properties, Inc. ("AITP") - a wholly-owned real estate subsidiary, with real estate holdings in Harris, Galveston, and Waller Counties in Texas.

Brenham Oil & Gas ("BOG") - a 51.0% owned subsidiary that currently owns oil and gas properties.  Through Brenham Oil & Gas, American is engaged in negotiations with financial institutions for the purpose of financing potential acquisitions of existing oil and gas properties and reserves.  The Company is seeking to acquire a portfolio of oil and gas assets in North America and West Africa and large oil concessions in West Africa.

Our Properties

Brenham holds oil and gas leases interests in Texas.

Victoria County, Texas

On January 16, 2014, Brenham acquired a 332-acre oil and gas lease, the "Inez Field Prospect," located in Victoria County, Texas.  Exploration has not yet commenced, and the property is in the process of being sold.  However, there can be no assurance that a sale will take place.  Further, Brenham acquired #1 Roberts Unit well-bore, as well as all the equipment down-hole and surface equipment associated therewith.  Brenham acquired 100% of the working interest and a net revenue interest of 74%.  In January 1990, Ken Petroleum Corporation drilled and completed the #1 Roberts Unit in the Inez (8,600') Field in Victoria County, Texas.  The well was initially completed in the Yegua "B" between 8498-8510' and flowed 2,668 MCFGPD on an 8/64" choke.  In February 1990, Stuart Petroleum Testers performed a Full Scale Separator Test, and it was determined that the Roberts well had a potential of 9,000 MCFGPD and 65.14 barrels of 48° API condensate during the 4-point test.  The well later encountered mechanical problems and has since been shut-in.

Brenham plans to side track or drill a new well to regain production from the well in the Yegua.  Reserves are estimated to be 4 billion cubic feet of gas and 160,000 barrels of condensate per well from the Yegua.  Brenham can drill 3-4 wells on the lease.

The secondary objective is the over-pressured Jackson Shale interval from 6,000 ft. to 8,000 ft., which tested gas from a 40 ft. perforated interval.  In the new well to be drilled in the Yegua, Brenham plans to core several intervals in the Jackson Shale to conduct a petro physical study.

Pierce Junction Field - Houston, Texas

The Pierce Junction Field includes eight producing wells, with an additional seven wells scheduled for mechanical work-over that should add more oil reserves. The wells currently have production of 30 barrels per day. Additional offsetting acreage can be developed by Brenham on a well by well basis to produce additional oil reserves from several producing horizons. Presently, Brenham is seeking to acquire additional working interests in this field from the other partners. The Company also is developing a plan to undertake a comprehensive work over program to increase production in the field to approximately 100 barrels per day.

Gillock Field - Galveston County, Texas

Gillock Fields are segments of a large, complexly faulted deep seated salt dome. Brenham purchased 4 square miles of 3D seismic data for the purpose of completion of its drilling program in this field. A preliminary review of the reprocessed 3D seismic data shows numerous fault traps and amplitude bright spots normally associated with hydrocarbon production at both the Frio and deeper Vicksburg level. Additionally, structural rollover indicative of a hydrocarbon trap is also present in shallower horizons as well. As there are well over 20 pay zones in Gillock Field, the possibility of shallower pay would not be a surprise and all of the aforementioned anomalies are being carefully investigated and evaluated by our experienced geophysical team. The 3D seismic data in conjunction with adjacent and nearby production will enable Brenham to pick precise drillable locations in the Frio as well as providing Brenham the opportunity to upgrade the reserve category of the Vicksburg Formation, thereby enhancing the value of the Company.

Washington County, Texas

Since November 7, 1997 (inception), Brenham Oil & Gas Inc. has owned an oil and gas mineral royalty interest on a 24-acre parcel of land located in Washington County, Texas. The royalty interest is currently leased by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation for a term continuing until the covered minerals are no longer produced in paying quantities from the leased premises.

Refer to the tables related to proved oil and gas reserves, together with the changes therein, proved developed reserves, and proved undeveloped reserves for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 in the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Brenham’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Corporate overhead - American's investment holdings including financing current operations and expansion of its current holdings as well as evaluating the feasibility of entering into additional businesses.

We intend to continue our efforts to grow through the acquisition of additional and complementary businesses and by expanding the operations of our existing businesses, especially in the energy sector.  We will evaluate whether additional and complementary businesses can be acquired at reasonable terms and conditions, at attractive earnings multiples and which present opportunity for growth and profitability.  These efforts will include the application of improved access to financing and management expertise afforded by synergistic relationships between the Company and its subsidiaries.  Potential acquisitions are evaluated to determine that they would be accretive to earnings and equity, that the projected growth in earnings and cash flows are attainable and consistent with our expectations to yield desired returns to investors, and that management is capable of guiding the growth of operations, working in concert with others in the group to maximize opportunity.  Periodically as opportunities present themselves, we may sell or merge the subsidiaries in order to bring value to the holding company and our shareholders and to enable the Company to acquire larger companies.

The Company’s real estate investment policy historically has been to acquire real estate for resale based upon our view of market conditions. Such properties are listed on the balance sheet as real estate acquired for resale. Real estate is not a segment of the Company's business.

We expect to face competition for acquisition candidates, which may limit the number of acquisition opportunities and may lead to higher acquisition prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify, acquire or manage profitably of additional businesses or to integrate any acquired businesses into the Company without substantial costs, delays or other operational or financial problems. Further, acquisitions involve a number of risks, including possible adverse effects on our operating results, diversion of management's attention, failure to retain key personnel of the acquired business and risks associated with unanticipated events or liabilities. Some or all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The timing, size and success of our acquisition efforts and the associated capital commitments cannot be readily predicted. It is our current intention to finance future acquisitions by using shares of our common stock and other forms of financing as the consideration to be paid. In the event that the common stock does not have and maintain a sufficient market value, or potential acquisition candidates are otherwise unwilling to accept common stock as part of the consideration for the sale of their businesses, we may be required to seek other forms of financing in order to proceed with our acquisition program. If we do not have sufficient cash resources, our growth could be limited unless we are able to obtain additional equity or debt financing at terms acceptable to the Company.

 

Corporate overhead includes our investment activities for financing current operations and expansion of our current holdings, as well as evaluating the feasibility of acquiring additional businesses.

The decrease was due to a decrease in transportation charges and the effect of the weakening of the U.S. dollar to the Renminbi of the People's Republic of China.

Selling, general and administrative.  Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 were $1,088,690, compared to $736,802 in the prior year, representing an increase of $351,888, or 48%.  General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased from the same period in the prior year primarily due to lower compensation and related expenses for NPI and the corporate office.

Gain (loss) from sale of assets.  We had a gain on sale of assets of $1,470,012 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to a loss of $38,546 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This increase resulted from a gain on sale of real estate as well as the current period amortization of deferred revenue.

Loss from operations.  We had an operating loss of $299,114 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $1,641,854 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, which represented a decrease of $1,342,740, or 82%, due to the aforementioned activities.

Total other income (expense).  Total other income was $54,695 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to total other income of $52,497 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Other expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 included non-cash unrealized losses on trading securities of $213,143 compared to losses of $41,708 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Realized losses on trading securities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $41,494, compared to gains of $200,306 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Interest expense was $185,030 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014, compared to $185,959 during the same period in the prior year.

 

Net loss.  We had a net loss from operations of $346,963, or $0.12 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $1,598,312, or $0.71 per share, for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Liquidity is our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the Company’s obligations and commitments, or obtain appropriate financing. Currently, our liquidity needs arise primarily from working capital requirements, debt service on indebtedness, and capital expenditures. We have funded these liquidity requirements from debt financing and proceeds from notes receivable.

 

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $956,139, compared to $88,582 for the same period in the prior year.  The Company has no major capital expenditure commitments for the next 12 months.

 

The Company's prospects for selling real estate from its portfolio have improved significantly due to infrastructure developments in close proximity to these properties.  Management believes that demand and prices for real estate will increase during the next 12 months from the date of this report.  The appraised values of the Company's portfolio of real estate are significantly higher than the value recorded on the books.

 

We believe that our cash on hand, operating cash flows and credit facilities will be sufficient to fund our operations, service our debt, and fund planned capital expenditures for at least 12 months from the date of this report.

At September 30, 2014, the consolidated working capital was $6,825,568.  We had consolidated current assets and current liabilities of $11,085,076 and $4,259,508, respectively at September 30, 2014.

Cash flow from operating activities.  Net cash used in operating activities was $1,045,996 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, compared to $916,325 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was derived primarily from our net loss from continuing operations of $346,963, and a gain on sale of assets of $1,470,012, an increase in accounts payable of $457,174, as well as an increase in inventory of $119,701.   Inventory increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 in order to address an increase in existing customer account organic growth in both the traditional retail and grocery distribution networks.  The Company sold real estate during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, resulting in a gain on sale.  Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was derived from our net loss from continuing operations of $1,598,312, which included non-cash expenses of $390,083, including depreciation, depletion, accretion, and amortization of $67,012 and share-based compensation of $342,880.

Cash flow from investing activities.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our investing activities provided cash of $2,202,372 primarily as a result of proceeds from sale of assets of $2,537,924 and proceeds from trading securities of $3,332,574.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, our investing activities provided cash of $837,293, primarily as a result of proceeds from notes receivable of $820,221, sales of trading securities of $209,187, offset by purchases of trading securities of $44,090, and the purchase of oil and gas properties of $87,500.

 

Cash flow from financing activities.  Our financing activities used cash of $1,171,357 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, primarily due to principal payments of debt of $2,239,620, which was offset by borrowings of $638,993.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, our financing activities used cash of $1,120, primarily as a result of payments on debt of $186,121, and a reduction in bank overdrafts of $61,272, offset by proceeds from the sale of common stock of a subsidiary of $100,000, net borrowings under line of credit agreements of $122,094, and proceeds from stock subscription receivables of $55,500.

ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Under the supervision and the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation as of September 30, 2014 of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2014. Such conclusion reflects the 2013 departure of our chief financial officer and assumption of duties of principal financial officer by an interim chief financial officer and the resulting lack of accounting expertise of our now principal financial officer and a lack of segregation of duties. Until we are able to remedy these material weaknesses, we are relying on third party consultants and our accounting firm to assist with financial reporting.

 

Changes in internal controls. No change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2014, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
