NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2005

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated unaudited financial statements of American Access Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiary (the “Company”) at September 30, 2005 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position as of September 30, 2005 and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The statements should be read in conjunction with the restated consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in the Company’s Amended Form 10-KSB. Certain amounts in prior year financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current year financial statements. Commencing with the first quarter 2004, certain amounts have been reclassified to cost of goods sold from selling, general and administrative costs and the comparable amounts have been reclassified to/from the prior year.

 

2. Net Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, “Earnings per Share”, which requires the presentation of both basic and diluted income (loss) per share.

 

Basic net loss per common share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted loss per share has not been presented for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004 or for the three month period ended September 30, 2004, as it would be anti-dilutive. Diluted income per share has not been presented for the three month period ended September 30, 2005, as it would be the same as the basic income per share, which is $0.00. The computation of net loss per share is reflected in the following schedule:

5. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs – An Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (SFAS No. 151). SFAS No. 151 requires all companies to recognize a current-period charge for abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials. This statement also requires that the allocation of fixed production overhead to the costs of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS No. 151 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No.123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS No. 123(R). This statement replaces SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS 123 (R) requires all stock-based compensation to be recognized as an expense in the financial statements and that such compensation be measured according to the grant-date fair value of stock options. SFAS 123 (R) will be effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. While the Company currently provides the pro forma disclosures required by SFAS No. 148 on a quarterly basis (see “Note 4 Stock Based Compensation”), and it is currently evaluating the impact this statement will have on its consolidated financial statements, the impact to the financial statements could be material in light of the recent awards of stock options and the applicable vesting schedules.

 

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47 (“FIN 47), “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations”, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.” The interpretation clarifies that the term conditional asset retirement obligation refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. An entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. The effective date of this interpretation is no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows and results of operations.

 

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections, a Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” SFAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of changes in accounting principle. This statement also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, nonfinancial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 carries forward without change the guidance contained in Opinion No. 20 for reporting the correction of an error in previously issued financial statements and a change in accounting estimate. This statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this Form 10-QSB and our Amended Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the statement of operations, including trends that might appear, are not necessarily indicative of future operations.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Except for historical and factual information, this document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

 

These forward-looking statements include statements that address activities, events or developments that we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future, such as predictions of future financial performance. All forward-looking statements are based on assumptions made by us based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. These statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, including our ability to maintain key products’ sales or effectively react to other risks described from time to time in our SEC filings. No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual results may differ materially from those projected. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

 

BUSINESS

 

American Access Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) develops and manufactures patented “zone cabling” and wireless enclosures that mount in ceilings, walls, raised floors, and custom furniture, for routing of telecommunications cabling, fiber optics and wireless solutions to the office desktop. The Company’s concept of zone cabling reduces costs for initial network installation and facilitates moves, adds, changes and upgrades for the network installations of today and tomorrow.

 

Omega Metals, Inc. (“Omega”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company since 1998, was merged into the Company effective February 3, 2005 and will continue to operate as a separate division. Omega Metals is a precision sheet metal fabrication and assembly operation which not only manufactures our zone cabling and wireless products but also serves a diverse client base in

Table of Contents

excess of 300, including engineering, technology and electronics companies, mostly in the Southeast. Omega employs state-of-the-art metal fabrication and finishing techniques for public and private companies and for U.S. government contractors.

 

The Company operates from a 67,500 sq. ft. manufacturing facility situated on 8 1/2 acres of land which is owned by the Company. Manufacturing services include laser cutting, precision stamping, bending, assembling, painting, powder coating and silk screening.

 

On May 8, 2003 we entered into an agreement with Chatsworth Products, Inc. (“CPI”), Westlake Village, CA establishing a five-year strategic alliance for the manufacture and sales of zone cabling and wireless products developed by American Access. These products, which are currently manufactured by American Access, are co-branded with the names of both American Access and Chatsworth Products and are exclusively sold and distributed by CPI. Under the agreement, American Access will continue to manufacture the products but CPI will have manufacturing rights under certain circumstances. Currently, American Access manufactures all such products. In connection with the alliance, CPI purchased 215,517 shares of American Access common stock in a private placement at $1.16 per share.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 of our consolidated financial statements located in the annual report on Form 10-KSBA. We have adopted various accounting policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the preparation of our financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Although these estimates are based on management’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, they may ultimately differ from actual results. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments and assumptions by us that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities. Management believes the following critical accounting policies reflect its most significant estimates and assumptions used in the presentation of our financial statements. We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs), nor do we have any “variable interest entities” (VIEs), as defined by FIN 46-R.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales at the time the product is shipped and title passes to the customer.

 

11


Table of Contents

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. The estimate is based on management’s assessment of the collectibility of specific customer accounts and includes consideration for credit worthiness and financial condition of those specific customers. We also will review historical experience with the customer, the general economic environment and the aging of our receivables. We record an allowance to reduce the specific receivables to the amount that we reasonably believe to be collectible. Based on our historical collection experience, we currently feel our allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS” No. 123), encourages, but does not require companies to record stock-based compensation plans using a fair value based method for grants to employees and directors. The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation, granted to employees and directors, using the intrinsic value based method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options granted to employees and directors is measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Grants of stock-based compensation to non-employees are accounted for following SFAS No. 123 utilizing the fair value method. SFAS No. 123 requires that fair value of the investment granted be measured, which the Company does using an option pricing model.

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 123-R, a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” This Statement supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance. SFAS No. 123-R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. It also addresses transactions in which an entity incurs liabilities in exchange for goods or services that are based on the fair value of the entity’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of those equity instruments. This Statement focuses primarily on accounting for transactions in which an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. This Statement does not change the accounting guidance for share-based payment transactions with parties other than employees provided in SFAS No. 123 as originally issued and EITF Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.” This Statement does not address the accounting for employee share ownership plans, which are subject to AICPA Statement of Position 93-6, Employers’ Accounting for Employee Stock Ownership Plans. This Statement becomes effective the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. The Company has not assessed the full impact but believes the adoption of this standard may have a significant, non-cash impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position as of January 2006.

Inventory Valuation

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using an average cost method. Inventory costs for finished goods and work-in-process include material, labor, production overhead, and outside services. Production overhead, including indirect labor, is allocated to finished goods and work-in-process based upon applicable percentages of labor and overhead. All estimates could be subject to change in the near term.

 

THE NINE MONTHS AND THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 COMPARED WITH THE NINE MONTHS AND THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004

 

REVENUES

 

Formed metal sales increased 36.1% ($1,044,623) over the nine months and 60.2% ($618,503) over the three months ended September 30, 2004 primarily due to new customers and the expanded services now available.

 

Zone cabling sales increased 14.3% ($295,237) over the nine months but decreased 20.4% ($182,856) over the three months ended September 30, 2004 due to the timing of project delivery schedules.

 

Total sales increased 27.0% ($1,339,860) over the nine months and 22.7% ($435,647) over the three months ended September 30, 2004.

 

We have always acknowledged that our zone cabling and wireless products have a longer sales cycle that depends on our products being incorporated into larger projects and, therefore, quarterly sales of these products are not consistent. This flux is evident in the fact that, despite the record third quarter sales, our zone and wireless sales actually decreased this quarter in a year-to-year comparison due to the timing of project delivery schedules. However, we anticipate that subsequent quarters will continue to reflect positive results from the relationships that our AATK sales efforts have nurtured with Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”) and the relationships that the CPI sales force has developed for these products.

 

The overall increase in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is the result of several factors:

 

    an expansion of available services within Omega Metals due to the installation of the laser-cutting machine;

 

    the growing customer base and its effect on sales;

 

    the continued, solid execution of our overall internal sales and marketing plan;

 

    the ongoing drive for increased production efficiencies.

    and due to the adoption of industry standards by the TIA, an increasing visibility and acceptance of the zone cabling and wireless products spurred by the marketing capabilities of CPI, a significant distributor of the zone and wireless products.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, 21.4% of total sales and 57.1% of zone cabling sales are attributable to the Company’s marketing and manufacturing agreement with CPI. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, 16.9% of total sales and 56.1% of zone cabling sales are attributable to the agreement with CPI.

The increase in materials as a percentage of the year-to-date cost of sales is due in part to a reallocation of processes from contracted services to work performed by the Company. Also impacting the cost of material is the increased cost of raw metal. Although the cost of cold rolled steel has decreased slightly this year (approximately 2%), our average purchase price of aluminum has increased approximately 12% between July and September. Since the primary component of our zone cabling and wireless products is aluminum, purchases of aluminum are approximately double that of purchases of steel. The effect of this increase is approximately $37,000 in additional costs which are offset by approximately $6,000 due to the decrease in the cost of steel.

 

The decrease in labor and related costs as a percentage of sales is primarily the result of the impact the robotic welder and the new laser-cutting machine is having on our production process. The increase in the cost of utilities is due to gases required by the laser-cutting machine. Other costs are comprised primarily of royalty fees and equipment maintenance.

 

The Company is continuing to analyze its production processes as it adds new machinery, continues its ongoing demand for efficiencies and focuses on a future of increasing sales.

 

The result of these efforts is a gross margin of 19.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, a 3.8% improvement as compared with the gross margin of 15.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 2005 is 21.7%, a 6.5% improvement as compared with the gross margin of 15.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2004.

 

Selling, General and Administrative expenses of $583,509 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 decreased $118,247, decreasing 1.9% as a percent of sales, and 16.9% as compared to $701,756 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, expenses of $241,906 increased $25,360, increasing 1.1% as a percent of sales, and 11.7% as compared to $216,546 for the three months ended September 30, 2004.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004:

 

    commission expense has increased approximately $37,000 as the company has experienced increased sales,

 

    professional fees have decreased approximately $40,000,

 

    amortization expense has decreased approximately $53,000 as the final expense related to the ultra-violet light product was recognized,

 

    bad debt expense has decreased $7,000,

 

    travel-related expenses have decreased approximately $22,000, and

 

    office supplies expense has decreased approximately $9,000.

Compensation and related benefits expense of $723,792 increased $96,121 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, increasing 1.5% as a percent of sales and 15.3% as compared to $627,671 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, expenses of $249,999 increased $38,092, increasing 1.6% as a percent of sales and 18.0% as compared to $211,907 for the three months ended September 30, 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the increase is primarily the result of the supplementation of the staff in our sales and engineering departments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company’s operating activities utilized cash of $91,150 and $475,968 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and September 30, 2004, respectively. Net cash consumed by operating activities consisted of net losses and increases in accounts receivable and inventories. The cash decrease is offset by a decrease in prepaid expense and other current assets and increases in depreciation, amortization, stock issued for services and accounts payable.

 

Net cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $465,584 as compared with a utilization of $130,462 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Proceeds from the sale of investments are offset by the purchase of the laser-cutting machine in 2005, which accounts for the majority of the use of cash for investments.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 the net cash provided by financing activities was $92,660 as compared with $533,551 for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The Company received $92,660 from the exercise of stock options for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

 

We believe that we can acquire additional working capital, if required, through the sale of additional securities, including the potential exercise of outstanding options and warrants, a private placement, or borrowings, including bank borrowing and private equity lines. Since our 67,500 sq. ft. plant is unencumbered, we also have the potential to mortgage it to raise capital. However, there are no assurances that we would be able to obtain such financing or, if obtained, that it would be on terms advantageous to the Company.

 

RISK FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

 

The Company and our business continues to be subject to a number of risk factors, including but not limited to the fluctuations in demand for our product line due to economic conditions, a history of operating losses, the need for additional funds, competition, and technological obsolescence. Before deciding to invest in our company or to maintain or increase your investment, you should carefully consider the risks contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSBA, our other Quarterly Reports on Form 10-QSB; and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including any subsequent reports filed on Forms 10-KSB, 10-KSBA, 10-QSB, A and 8-K. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business and results of operations. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be seriously harmed. In that event, the market price for our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Table of Contents

Because of the following factors, as well as other variables affecting our operating results, past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

 

Telecommunications networking products are subject to rapid technological change and to compete, we must offer products that achieve market acceptance.

 

Economic weakness has affected the Company adversely in the past and the return of such weakness could adversely affect our revenue, gross margin and expenses in the future.

 

We depend significantly on one distributor other than our OEM customers for the sales of our zone cabling and wireless products.

 

Our failure to adequately protect our proprietary rights could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively.

 

Decreased effectiveness of equity compensation could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain employees, and proposed changes in accounting for equity compensation could adversely affect earnings.

 

The exercise of our outstanding stock options could adversely affect our outstanding common stock. Our stock option plans are an important component of our compensation program for our employees and directors. As of September 30, 2005, we have issued and outstanding options to purchase approximately 5,300,000 shares of common stock with exercise prices ranging from $0.56 to $2.30 per share. The existence of such rights to acquire common stock at fixed prices may prove a hindrance to our efforts to raise future funding by the sale of equity. The exercise of such options may dilute the percentage ownership interest of our existing stockholders and may dilute the value of their ownership. The possible future sale of shares issuable on the exercise of outstanding options could adversely affect the prevailing market price for our common stock. Further, the holders of the outstanding rights may exercise them at a time when we would otherwise be able to obtain additional equity capital on terms more favorable to us.

 

ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures, which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2005. As a result of a material weakness in internal control discussed in Form 10KSB-A, they concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in achieving the objectives for which they were designed. We have undertaken remedial action to address and

 

18


Table of Contents

correct the weakness in our internal controls and disclosure controls identified. These actions include adopting an adequate review of the labor and overhead allocation calculation including performing a duplicate calculation.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this 10-QSB that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting.
