PART I

  

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

Business Overview

 

We design, engineer and assemble micro-wave component based amplifiers that meet individual customer specifications. Our products consists of RF amplifiers and related subsystems, operating at multiple frequencies from 50kHz to 44GHz, including Low Noise Amplifiers, Medium Power Amplifiers, oscillators, filters, and custom assembly designs. We also offer non-recurring engineering services on a project-by-project basis, for a predetermined fixed contractual amount, or on a time plus material basis.

 

Our Corporate History and Background

 

We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 30, 2010. From inception until August 2012, we were organized as a vehicle to investigate and acquire a target company or business that seeks to be a publicly held corporation. During that time, we had no revenue and our operations were limited to capital formation, organization and development of our business plan.

 

On August 13, 2012, we completed a securities exchange whereby we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of AmpliTech, Inc. in exchange for 16,675,000 shares of our common stock, which constituted approximately 94% of our outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis as of and immediately after the consummation of the securities exchange. As a result of the exchange, we ceased being a shell company and, through Amplitech, Inc., we now operate as a designer, manufacturer and distributor of microwave amplifiers, RF designs and applications for wireless networks.

 

Our Products

 

Our products consist of RF amplifiers and related subsystems, operating at multiple frequencies from 50kHz to 44GHz, including Low Noise Amplifiers, Medium Power Amplifiers, oscillators, filters, and custom assembly designs.

 

Low Noise Amplifiers

 

Low Noise Amplifiers, or LNAs, are amplifiers used in receivers of almost every type of communication system (Wi-Fi, Radar, Satellite, Base station, Cell phone, Radio, etc.) to improve signal strength and increase sensitivity and range of receivers. 

 

Medium Power Amplifiers

 

Medium Power Amplifers, or MPAs, provide increased output power and gain in transceiver chains to increase signal power and maintain dynamic range and linearity in Radars, Base-stations, Wireless networks, and almost every communication system.

 

Oscillators

 

Phase Locked Oscillators, or PLOs, and Dielectric Resonator Oscillators, or DROs, are ultra-stable frequency sources and references in transceiver applications that complement the amplifier chain in the transceivers.

 

Filters

 

Filters discriminate or block out certain frequencies in communication systems to improve dynamic range and NF response. Our filters are low loss and used on the front-end of the receiver chain that provide low degradation in the NF of the system, thereby maintaining and enhancing the signal clarity.

 

Our Technology

 

Our products are supported by hybrid design topologies that create highly linear Radio Frequency (RF) products that amplify and transform signals with minimal addition of noise, achieving high Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and increased receiver sensitivity and range, at a low cost and low power consumption. Our hybrid design topologies include:

 

 

·

Discrete Microwave Integrated Circuit (MIC)

 

·

Pseudomorphic High Electron Mobility Transistor (PHEMT)

 

·

MIC and Low Noise MIC

 

The discrete topology that we utilize provides various advantages:

 

 

·

Can easily optimize Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) and Noise Figure

 

·

Flexibility of design; can easily adapt to change of specs, technology, etc.

 

·

Low DC power consumption

 

·

Can control and optimize and gain flatness due to discrete gain stages

 

·

Optimum use of MIC technology and experience

 

·

Use of negative bias is not necessary

 

·

Better part availability

Forward-Looking Statements

 

In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See “Forward-Looking Statements.” Our results and the timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.

 

Business Overview

 

We design, engineer and assemble micro-wave component based amplifiers that meet individual customer specifications. Our products consists of RF amplifiers and related subsystems, operating at multiple frequencies from 50kHz to 44GHz, including Low Noise Amplifiers, Medium Power Amplifiers, oscillators, filters, and custom assembly designs. We also offer non-recurring engineering services on a project-by-project basis, for a predetermined fixed contractual amount, or on a time plus material basis.

 

Our plans for the next year include new product development, expansion of existing product line and targeting new mergers and acquisitions through direct fund investment.

 

 Results of Operations

 

Our auditor has indicated in their report on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 that conditions exist that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern due to our recurring losses from operations, deficit in equity, and the need to raise additional capital to fund operations. A “going concern” opinion could impair our ability to finance our operations through the sale of debt or equity securities.

 

As of December 31, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficit of $30,145 and an Accumulated Deficit of $1,587,040. Additionally, there was a net loss of $770,070 and $144,494 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company will require additional funding to finance the growth of its current and expected future operations as well as to achieve its strategic objectives. We hope to improve the Company’s financial condition by raising working capital from the issuance of additional notes with equity convertible features and pursue new customers to improve our operational results. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing these objectives. If adequate funds are not available, our business would be jeopardized and we may not be able to continue. If we ceased operations, it is likely that all of our investors would lose their investment.

 

For Years Ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013

 

Revenues

 

Sales increased to $1,276,111 for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $1,222,511 for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $53,600, or approximately 4.4%. This increase results from increased in house production as well as an increase in production from the outsource assembly facility in the local Northeast.

 

Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Profit

 

Cost of Goods Sold increased from $579,100 in 2013 to $663,056 in 2014, an increase of $83,956 or approximately 14.5%. This increase was the direct result of outsourcing one of our largest orders that needed to be fulfilled in a short time frame at a lower gross profit margin. As a result, the gross profit was $613,055 for 2014 compared to $643,411 for 2013, a decrease of $30,356 and the gross margin decreased to approximately 48% for 2014 compared to approximately 53% for 2013.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses increased to $683,885 in 2014 to $655,040 in 2013, an increase of $28,845, or approximately 4.4%. This increase was the direct result of investor relations, legal, accounting and consulting fees incurred related to being a public company.

Other Income (Expenses)

 

Interest expense increased $114,355, or 133.3%, when comparing the year ended December 31, 2014 to the year ended December 31, 2013. This increase results primarily from the interest payable on the convertible notes in 2014. There was also a $2,080 gain that was recognized in 2014 related to shares being issued to satisfy certain debt. On May 8, 2014, the Board issued 140,000 shares of Series A to the principal executive officer and sole director of the Company. As a result, the Company recognized a non cash compensation expense of $501,200 based on the fair-market value of the 100 underlying shares of common stock on the date of issuance, which was $.0358 per common share. On December 23, 2014 the principal officer returned to the Company 139,000 of the 140,000 shares of Series A issued to him on May 8, 2014. The extinguishment of these 139,000 shares has been accounted for in accordance with ASC260-10-599-2 and has been treated in a manner similar to that of dividends. Furthermore, because the company is in an accumulated deficit position, the difference between the carrying amount of the Preferred Stock returned and the value of the consideration given is booked into Additional Paid in Capital.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

As a result of the decreased gross profit and the increase in general and administrative and other expenses described above from 2014 to 2013, the Company had a net loss of $770,070 in 2014 compared to a net loss of $144,494 in 2013.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have historically financed our operations through debt from third party lenders, notes issued to various private individuals and personal funds advanced from time to time by the majority shareholder, who is also the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The amount due to our officer is unsecured, interest bearing and payable upon demand. During the year, the CEO assumed a note payable of $56,291 of which $10,000 was repaid during 2014. The balance at December 31, 2014 was $46,921.

 

As of December 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $19,162, a working capital deficit of $30,145 and an accumulated deficit of $1,587,040.

 

The net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $53,811 resulting primarily from an increase in inventory, depreciation expense and the amortization of debt discount from the convertible debt incurred and the repayment of accounts payable and accrued expenses. The net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $188,519, which was primarily the result of an increase in accounts receivable and inventory.

 

The net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $62,350 which were funds raised from direct investments and the issuance of convertible notes used to make repayments on existing loans, notes and the capital lease. The net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $171,426, which results primarily from issuance of additional convertible notes.

 

We intend to finance our internal growth with cash on hand, cash provided from operations, borrowings, debt or equity offerings, or some combination thereof. We believe that our cash provided from operations and cash on hand will provide sufficient working capital to fund our operations for the next twelve months.

 

Financing Activities

 

Convertible Notes

 

On August 27, 2013, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note for $58,000 with a nine month term. The convertible note accrued interest at 8% per annum and was convertible, in whole or in part, at the sole discretion of the holder beginning after 180 days into shares of Group common stock at 61% of the market price on the date of conversion. The market price was determined based on the average of the lowest three trading days bid price during the ten trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. Alternatively, the Company could prepay the balance owed, including accrued interest, at its sole discretion at any time within 180 days from the date of issuance. The prepayment was subject to a penalty that increased from 10% to 35% of the amount owed at each 30 day interval during the 180 period. Between February 28, 2014 and March 18, 2014, the holder of the Convertible Promissory Note converted the entire balance, plus accrued interest related thereto of $2,320, into 1,069,436 shares of free trading common stock at an average conversion price of approximately $.06 per share. The Company recognized a $25,380 discount related to the beneficial conversion feature calculated on the number of shares related to the face value of the note which were 877,680 shares. The calculation was based on the difference between the effective conversion price and the fair market value on the date the note was first exercisable, or approximately $.03 per share. The discount was recorded as interest expense with a corresponding offset to Paid-in-Capital.

Between September and October 2013, the Company issued two Convertible Promissory Notes to one holder totaling $75,000. Both convertible notes have a nine month term and accrued interest at 8% per annum. They were convertible, in whole or in part, at the sole discretion of the holder beginning after 180 days from the date of issuance into shares of Group common stock at 61% of the market price on the date of conversion. The market price was determined based on the average of the lowest three trading days bid price during the ten trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. Alternatively, the Company could prepay the balance owed, including accrued interest, in at its sole discretion at any time within 180 days from the date of issuance. The prepayment was subject to a penalty that increased from 10% to 35% of the amount owed at each 30 day interval during the 180 period. On April 15, 2014, the holder of the Convertible Promissory Note dated September 26, 2013 for $42,500 converted $15,000 of this balance into 717,703 shares of free trading common stock at a conversion price of approximately $.02 per share. The Company recognized a $35,135 discount related the beneficial conversion feature, the total of which was offset to Paid-in Capital. This discount was calculated based on the number of shares related to the face value of the note, which were 1,194,379 shares. The calculation was based on the difference between the effective conversion price and the fair market value on the date the note was first exercisable, or approximately $.03 per share. This discount was being amortized over the exercise period, which was approximately 130 days. Between July 1, 2014 and July 14, 2014, the remaining $27,500 balance, plus accrued interest related thereto of $1,700, was converted into 2,093,261 shares of free trading common stock at a conversion price of approximately $.014 per share. The Company recorded the remaining unamortized discount balance of $3,182 as interest expense. The Company recognized a $20,672 discount resulting from the beneficial conversion feature related to the Convertible Promissory Note dated October 22, 2013 for $32,500, the total of which was offset to Paid-in Capital. This discount was calculated on the number of shares related to the face value of the note, which were 1,596,764 shares. The calculation was based on the difference between the effective conversion price and the fair market value on the date the note was first exercisable, or approximately $.013 per share. This discount was being amortized over the remaining life of the note which was due July 24, 2014. Between July 18, 2014 and July 24, 2014 the entire note balance, plus accrued interest related thereto of $1,300, was converted into 2,569,280 shares of free trading common stock at an average conversion price of approximately $.013 per share. The Company recorded the remaining unamortized discount balance of $5,393 as interest expense.

 

On November 27, 2013, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note for $65,000 with a two year term. The note was convertible, in whole or in part, at the sole discretion of the holder beginning after 180 days into shares of Group common stock at the lesser of $.15 or 60% of the lowest trading price is the twenty-five trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. Alternatively, the Company could prepay this note, plus OID interest in the amount of $7,586, at its sole discretion at any time within 90 days from the date of issuance. If the note was not repaid within the 90 day period, a one-time interest charge of 12% would be applied to the face value of the note. Pursuant to the Promissory Note a one-time interest charge of 12%, or $7,800, was added to the $65,000 advance as it was not repaid within the 90 day period from the effective date. As a result, the total value related to this advance was $81,293 including OID interest of $7,586 related thereto. Additionally, the Company recognized a $38,386 discount related the beneficial conversion feature, the total of which was offset to Paid-in Capital. This discount was calculated based on the number of shares related to the total value of the note, which were 4,241,856 shares. The calculation was based on the difference between the effective conversion price and the fair market value on the date the note was first exercisable, or approximately $.01 per share. This discount is being amortized over the remaining life of the note which is due November 25, 2015. Between May 27, 2014 and June 12, 2014, the holder converted $15,625 of this balance into 1,250,000 shares of free trading common stock at an average conversion price of $.0125 per share. Between September 9, 2014 and September 29, 2014, an additional $23,346 of this balance was converted into 2,100,000 shares of free trading common stock at an average conversion price of $.011 per share. Between October 14, 2014 and November 19, 2014, the balance of $42,322 was converted into 4,566,076 shares of free trading common stock at an average conversion price of $.0094 per share. The Company recorded the remaining unamortized discount balance as interest expense.

 

On April 16, 2014, the Company received an additional advance of $40,000 related to the Promissory Note dated November 27, 2013. Pursuant to the terms of this Promissory Note, the additional advance had a two year term from the date of receipt and was convertible, in whole or in part, at the sole discretion of the holder beginning after 180 days into shares of Group common stock at the lesser of $.15 or 60% of the lowest trading price in the twenty-five trading days immediately prior to the date of conversion. Alternatively, the Company could prepay this advance, plus OID interest in the amount of $4,666, at its sole discretion at any time within 90 days from the date of issuance. On July 14, 2014, the Company elected to repay within the 90 day period allowed the additional advance of $40,000. The total amount paid was $44,666, including the OID interest of $4,666.

 

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Assumptions

 

The SEC defines critical accounting policies as those that are, in management's view, most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and those that require significant judgments and estimates.

 

 
11

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including the allowance for doubtful accounts, the salability and recoverability of inventory, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

We cannot predict what future laws and regulations might be passed that could have a material effect on our results of operations. We assess the impact of significant changes in laws and regulations on a regular basis and update the assumptions and estimates used to prepare our financial statements when we deem it necessary.

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers deposits that can be redeemed on demand and investments that have original maturities of less than three months, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Company’s cash and cash equivalents were deposited primarily in one financial institution.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of Accounts Receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change in the future.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. The Company uses other depreciation methods (generally, accelerated depreciation methods) for tax purposes where appropriate. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 “Income Tax”. ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of certain assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.

 

 
12

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is determined by dividing the net earnings (loss) by the weighted-average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by dividing net earnings (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic EPS calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities(such as stock options and convertible securities) outstanding under the treasury stock method. There were no dilutive financial instruments issued or outstanding for the periods presented.

 

Inventory Obsolescence 

 

Inventory quantities and related values are analyzed at the end of each fiscal quarter to determine those items that are slow moving or obsolete. An inventory reserve is recorded for those items determined to be slow moving with a corresponding charge to cost of goods sold. Inventory items that are determined obsolete are written off currently with a corresponding charge to cost of goods sold.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues and costs of revenues are recognized during the period in which the products are shipped. The Company applies the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-10, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ASC 605-10, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. ASC 605-10 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue for sale of products when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company’s sources of revenue are from the sale of various component amplifiers. Revenue is recognized upon shipment of such products. The Company offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee against defects for 90 days after the sale of their product except for a few circumstances. There are no maintenance or service contracts related to any product sale.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of 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 and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Off Balance Sheet Transactions

 

As of December 31, 2014, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors

AmpliTech Group, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of AmpliTech Group, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of AmpliTech Group, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had a working capital deficit of $30,145 and an accumulated deficit of $1,587,040 at December 31, 2014 which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 15. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements

For The Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013

 

(1) Organization and Business Description

 

AmpliTech, Inc. (“AmpliTech” or “the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on October 18, 2002. AmpliTech designs, engineers and assembles micro-wave component based low noise amplifiers (“LNA”) that meet individual customer specifications. Application of the Company’s proprietary technology results in maximum frequency gain with minimal background noise distortion as required by each customer. The Company has both domestic and international customers in such industries as aerospace, governmental, defense and commercial satellite.

 

On August 13, 2012 (the “Closing Date”), AmpliTech Group, Inc. (f/k/a Bayview Acquisition Corporation) (“Group”) acquired AmpliTech, by issuing 16,675,000 shares of its Common Stock, constituting 100% of the outstanding shares of AmpliTech. Also pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement, the shareholders of Group were issued an additional 741,600 shares of Common Stock on the Closing Date. These shares plus the 458,400 Group shares issued and outstanding prior to closing the share exchange on August 13, 2012 total 1,200,000 shares, or 6% on a fully diluted basis. The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which AmpliTech is deemed to be the accounting acquirer, and the prior operations of Group are consolidated for accounting purposes. The capital balances have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse acquisition.

 

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers deposits that can be redeemed on demand and investments that have original maturities of less than three months, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were deposited primarily in one financial institution.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts equal to the estimated uncollectible amounts. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of accounts receivable. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change in the future. An allowance of $0 and $8,385 has been recorded at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method for financial statement purposes. Amortization of leasehold improvements is computed using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful lives of the improvements.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 “Income Tax”. ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of certain assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect in the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified according to the financial statement classification of the assets and liabilities generating the differences. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB ASC 740-10-05 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits.

 

Earnings (Loss)Per Share

 

Basic loss per share (“EPS”) is determined by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic EPS calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive securities (such as stock options and convertible securities) outstanding under the treasury stock method. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 there were 0 and 0 potential common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Inventory Obsolescence

 

Inventory quantities and related values are analyzed at the end of each fiscal quarter to determine those items that are slow moving or obsolete. An inventory reserve is recorded for those items determined to be slow moving with a corresponding charge to cost of goods sold. Inventory items that are determined obsolete are written off currently with a corresponding charge to cost of goods sold.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenues and costs of revenues are recognized during the period in which the products are shipped. The Company applies the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605-10, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ASC 605-10, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. ASC 605-10 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue for sale of products when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) the collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company’s sources of revenue are from the sale of various component amplifiers. Revenue is recognizes upon shipment of such products. The Company offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee against defects for 90 days after the sale of their product except for a few circumstances. There are no maintenance or service contracts related to any product sale.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of 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 and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the periods presented. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standard if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of convertible notes payable, loans payable and a derivative liability. The Company believes all of the financial instruments’ recorded values approximate their fair values because of their nature and respective durations.

 

The Company complies with the provisions of ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” ASC 820-10 relates to financial assets and financial liabilities. ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of this standard apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and are to be applied prospectively with limited exceptions.

 

ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions, about market participant assumptions, that are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820-10 are described below:

 

Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents are valued using inputs in Level 1.

 

Level 2. Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

Level 3. Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. These inputs rely on management's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The unobservable inputs are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances and may include the Company's own data.

Application of Valuation Hierarchy

 

A financial instrument's categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. As such, the Company assessed that the fair value of cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, customer deposits, convertible notes payable, notes payable, factor financing, current portion of capital leases and loans payable and due to officer approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

 

(3) Inventory

 

Inventory, which consists primarily of raw materials and finished goods, is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market (net realizable value). The Inventory value at December 31, 2014 and 2013 was as follows;

ficer and sole director of the Company an immediately exercisable option to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Series A at an exercise price of $0.0206 per share of the underlying common stock. The extinguishment of these 139,000 shares has been accounted for in accordance with ASC 260-10-599-2 and has been treated in a manner similar to that of dividends.

Between September 9, 2014 and September 29, 2014, the holder of the Convertible Promissory Note dated November 26, 2013, with a total value of $80,360 related to the first advance, converted an additional $23,346 of this balance into 2,100,000 shares of free trading common stock at an average conversion price of approximately $.011 per share.

(14) Commitments and Contingencies:

 

The Company rents office space under a non-cancelable operating lease agreement that commenced in July 2011 and automatically renews annually with similar terms for an additional twelve months. The future monthly rental payments required under this operating lease agreement from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 is $35,580.

 

(15) Going Concern Uncertainty

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates the Company continuing as a going concern. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficit of $30,145 and an accumulated deficit of $1,587,040. Additionally, there was a net loss of $770,070 and $144,494 for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These and other factors raise substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern. However, the Company plans to improve its financial condition by raising working capital from the issuance of equity or debt instruments. Also, the Company plans to improve operations by pursuing new customers, developing new products and expanding its distribution channels, both domestically and internationally, in order to increase sales and improve cash flow. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing these objectives. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

 

Based on the evaluation as of December 31, 2014, for the reasons set forth below, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system was designed to, in general, provide reasonable assurance to our management and the Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements, but because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

 

Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, and based on that evaluation they concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective.

 

The framework used by management in making that assessment was the criteria set forth in the document entitled “Internal Control – Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that re-evaluation due to material weakness identified below, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012 to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports was (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner, and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, because of material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

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.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes that have affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the period covered by this report.

A brief description of the background and business experience of our sole executive officer and director for the past five years is as follows:

 

Fawad Maqbool, age 54, has served as the President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors since founding Amplitech, Inc. 2002. He has also been the majority shareholder of the Company since its inception. Prior to founding Amplitech, Inc., Mr. Maqbool was the President of Aeroflex Amplicomm, Inc. for 2000 and 2001.

Mr. Maqbool was with MITEQ, Inc. from 1987 through 1999 where he began as an Engineering Group Leader and ultimately held the title of Department Head responsible for a staff of thirty-two consisting of engineers, technicians, assemblers and support personnel. His professional career began with the Hazeltine Corporation in 1983 where he was a Microwave Design Engineer through 1986. Mr. Maqbool received bachelor degrees in electrical engineering (major in microwaves and RF) and biomedical engineering from the City College of New York. He subsequently earned a master’s degree in electrical engineering (major in microwaves and RF) from Polytechnic University.

 

Through his prior service, Mr. Maqbool possesses the knowledge and experience in microwaves and RF electrical engineering that aids him in efficiently and effectively identifying and executing the Company’s strategic priorities.

 

Louisa Sanfratello, CPA, age 49, has been a self-employed independent accountant servicing numerous clients in various industries since 1998.

Term of Office

 

Our sole director is appointed for a one-year term to hold office until the next annual general meeting of our stockholders or until removed from office in accordance with our bylaws. Our officers are appointed by our Board of Directors and holds office until removed by the Board of Directors.

15

  

Family Relationships

 

There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers.

 

Involvement in Legal Proceedings

 

To our knowledge, there have been no material legal proceedings that would require disclosure under the federal securities laws that are material to an evaluation of the ability of our director or executive officers.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest

 

We are not aware of any current or potential conflicts of interest with our director or executive officers.

 

Board Committees

 

We have not formed an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee or Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee as of the filing of this Annual Report. Our Board of Directors performs the principal functions of an Audit Committee. We currently do not have an audit committee financial expert on our Board of Directors. We believe that an audit committee financial expert is not required because the cost of hiring an audit committee financial expert to act as one of our directors and to be a member of an Audit Committee outweighs the benefits of having an audit committee financial expert at this time.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and are required to furnish us with copies of these reports. Based solely on our review of the reports filed with the SEC, we believe that all persons subject to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act timely filed all required reports in 2014 other than as set forth below.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End

 

Except as indicated in the above table, none of our executive officers received any equity awards, including, options, restricted stock or other equity incentives during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Compensation of Our President and Chief Executive Officer

 

Fawad Maqbool, as our sole director, has authority and discretion to determine his own compensation for serving as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

 

Compensation of Directors

 

During the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, our sole director Fawad Maqbool did not receive any compensation solely for service as a director. It is our current policy that our director is reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending each board of directors meeting or meeting of a committee of the board of directors.

 

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 

During the fiscal years of 2014 and 2013, we did not have a standing compensation committee. Our board of directors was responsible for the functions that would otherwise be handled by the compensation committee. The sole director conducted deliberations concerning executive officer compensation, including directors who were also executive officers. Fawad Maqbool, as our sole director, has authority and discretion to determine his own compensation for serving as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

 

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our voting securities by (i) each director and named executive officer, (ii) all executive officers and directors as a group; and (iii) each shareholder known to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the outstanding common stock of the Company as of March 24, 2015. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Generally, a person is considered to beneficially own securities: (i) over which such person, directly or indirectly, exercises sole or shared voting or investment power, and (ii) of which such person has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time within 60 days (such as through exercise of stock options or warrants). For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares held by each person or group of persons, any shares that such person or persons has the right to acquire within 60 days of March 24, 2015 are deemed to be outstanding, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The inclusion herein of any shares listed as beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership. Unless otherwise indicated below, the address of each person listed in the table below is c/o 35 Carlough Rd. #3, Bohemia, NY 11716.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIP AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

  

The following sets forth a summary of transactions since the beginning of the fiscal year of 2012, or any currently proposed transaction, in which the Company was to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described under “Executive Compensation”). We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions.

 

On May 8, 2014, the Board issued 140,000 shares of Series A to Fawad Maqbool, the principal executive officer and sole director of the Company. As a result, the Company recognized a non cash compensation expense of $501,200 based on the fair-market value of the 100 underlying shares of common stock on the date of issuance, which was $.0358 per common share.

 

On December 23, 2014, Fawad Maqbool, President, Chief Executive Officer and the sole director of the Company, returned to the Company, 139,000 of the 140,000 shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”) issued to him on May 7, 2014 for services provided to the Company.

 

Also on December 23, 2014, the Company granted Mr. Maqbool an immediately exercisable option to purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $0.0206 per share. Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder into 100 shares of common stock of the Company. The holder of the Preferred Stock votes together as a single class with the holders of the Company’s common stock, with the holder of the Preferred Stock being entitled to 51% of the total votes on all such matters.

 

Our officer and sole director, Fawad Maqbool, advanced monies to the Company for working capital. The amount due was unsecured, interest bearing and payable upon demand. The highest principal amount was $56,291 of which $10,000 was repaid during 2014. The balance at December 31, 2014 was $46,921.

Director Independence

All Other Fees

 

We did not incur any other fees related to services rendered by our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

The SEC requires that before our independent registered public accounting firm is engaged by us to render any auditing or permitted non-audit related service, the engagement be either: (i) approved by our Audit Committee or (ii) entered into pursuant to pre-approval policies and procedures established by the Audit Committee, provided that the policies and procedures are detailed as to the particular service, the Audit Committee is informed of each service, and such policies and procedures do not include delegation of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities to management.

 

We do not have an Audit Committee. Our Board of Directors pre-approves all services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. All of the above services and fees during 2012 were pre-approved by our Board of Directors. We do not have a record of the percentage of the above fees that were pre-approved in 2011. However, all of the above services in 2011 were reviewed and approved by our Board of Directors either before or after the respective services were rendered.
