AMERIGON INCORPORATED
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY:
Amerigon Incorporated (the "Company") is a development stage enterprise,
which was incorporated in California on April 23, 1991 primarily to develop,
manufacture and market proprietary, high technology automotive components and
systems for gasoline-powered and electric vehicles.
NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF CERTAIN ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The accompanying condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 1996 and the
condensed statements of operations and cash flows for the three months and for
the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the period from April 23, 1991
(inception) to June 30, 1996 have been prepared by the Company without audit.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
adjustments) necessary for fair presentation have been included. The results of
operations for the three month and the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. These condensed financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.
DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT REVENUES. The Company has entered into a number of
fixed price contracts under which revenue is recognized using the percentage of
completion method, or in the case of short duration contracts, when the
prototype or services are delivered. Development contract revenues earned are
recorded on the balance sheet as Unbilled Revenue until billed.
GRANT REVENUES. Revenue from government agency grants and other sources
pursuant to cost-sharing arrangements is recognized when reimbursable costs have
been incurred. Grant revenues earned are recorded on the balance sheet as
Unbilled Revenue until billed.
NOTE 3 - NET LOSS PER SHARE:
The Company's net loss per share calculations are based upon the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Excluded from this
calculation are the 3,000,000 Escrowed Contingent Shares (Note 4). Common stock
equivalents (stock options and stock warrants) are anti-dilutive in both periods
and are excluded from the net loss per share calculation.
(6)
NOTE 4 - ESCROW AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, prior to the effective date of the
June 1993 initial public offering, 3,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A
Common Stock ("Escrowed Contingent Shares") were deposited into escrow by the
then existing shareholders in proportion to their then current holdings. These
shares are not transferable (but may be voted) and will be released from escrow
in the event the Company attains certain earnings levels (which have been
adjusted for the December 29, 1995 private placement of 750,000 shares) during
the period through December 31, 1998. The market price targets of the Class A
Common Stock to reach specified levels during the period through June 10, 1996
were not met.
The release of the Escrowed Contingent Shares will be deemed compensatory
and, accordingly, will result in charges to earnings equal to the fair market
value of the Escrowed Contingent Shares recorded ratably over the period
beginning on the date when management determines that any of the specified
events are probable of being attained and ending on the date on which the
Escrowed Contingent Shares are released. At the time a goal is attained,
previously unrecognized compensation expense will be adjusted by a one-time
charge based on the then fair market value of the shares released from Escrow.
Such charges could substantially reduce the Company's net income or increase the
Company's loss for financial reporting purposes in the periods such charges are
recorded. The specified events are not considered probable of attainment at
this time.
On April 30, 1999, all shares that have not been released from Escrow will
automatically be exchanged for shares of Class B Common Stock, which will then
be released from Escrow. Any dividends or other distributions made with respect
to Escrowed Contingent Shares that have not been released from Escrow as Class A
Common Stock will be forfeited and contributed to the capital of the Company on
April 30, 1999.
NOTE 5 - GOING CONCERN
The Company expects to incur losses for the foreseeable future due to the
continuing costs of its product development and marketing activities. Cash
inflows during the current year are dependent upon achieving certain billing
milestones under existing development contracts and grants, and on obtaining
new production and/or development contracts. Cash outflows are dependent upon
the level and timing of production and/or development work and the amount of
research and development and overhead expenses.
Currently, the Company's available cash and expected cash inflows are
limited and the Company continues to review all sources and uses of cash in
order to have sufficient cash available for operations. Actions being
considered include: the reduction personnel and other operating expenses and
the reduction or deferral of certain research and development activities. The
effect of some of these actions could delay the completion of development
activities relating to some or all of the Company's products. In addition,
the Company is actively pursuing investments by strategic partners and/or the
sale of one or more of its technologies; a loan of up to $300,000 from Lon E.
Bell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company; and additional
debt and/or equity financing. At the present time, the Company expects to
have sufficient cash through October 31, 1996. Operations beyond that date
will require successful completion of a combination of the actions mentioned
above now under consideration by the Company. There can be no assurance that
these sources will provide adequate additional required financing. As a
development stage company, the Company will continue to need cash until such
time as sufficient profitable production contracts are obtained.

PART 1
ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SECOND QUARTER 1996 COMPARED WITH SECOND QUARTER 1995
REVENUES. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996 ("Second
Quarter 1996") were $2,260,000 as compared with revenues of $1,689,000 in the
three months ended June 30, 1995 ("Second Quarter 1995"). Approximately
$1,860,000 of Second Quarter 1996 revenue relates to two development contracts
(and related grants) associated with the Company's electric vehicle program,
which is an increase of approximately $640,000 over the Second Quarter 1995.
The percentage of completion method of accounting is used for these contracts
and, accordingly, revenues and gross profit are recognized as work is performed
based on the relationship between actual costs incurred and total estimated
costs at competion. Revenues and gross profit are recognized prospectively for
revisions in estimated total contract costs and contract values and estimated
losses are recorded when identified. Grant revenue is recorded when
reimbursable costs are incurred.
During the Second Quarter 1996, the Company determined that prolonged work
on the development of certain aspects of the vehicle under the company's
$9,600,000 electric vehicle contract delayed the project completion date to at
least late 1996, and has resulted in significantly higher labor costs together
with higher than expected tooling and material costs. The total effect of
these increased costs was approximately $2.5 million and was recorded in the
Second Quarter 1996 as a charge against earnings for the approximate
estimated loss of $1.2 million expected on the contract and a reduction of
calculated revenues of approximately $1.3 million. No assurance can be given
that there will not be additional future provisions for losses or adjustments
of revenues.
The level of activity in the projects involved considerably more labor and
material expenses in the Second Quarter 1996 compared to the early stages of the
projects in the Second Quarter 1995 when engineering design was the principal
activity. In the Second Quarter 1996, prototypes of the vehicles in both
projects were being tested; design modification changes were being made; and
tooling and parts were being ordered. Kits for 28 vehicle frames with motor
controllers were shipped in the Second Quarter 1996 to the customer of the first
major electric vehicle contract.
During the Second Quarter 1996, development continued on the climate
control seat system and the radar system which was funded in part by development
contracts. The magnitude of the revenues recognized for the development of the
seat systems and radar, and for the sale of interactive voice navigation systems
("IVS") in the Second Quarter 1996 was $400,000 compared to $290,000 in the
Second Quarter 1995.
Grant revenues in the Second Quarter 1996 of approximately $550,000 were
directly related to the electric vehicle development contracts activities and
are combined with the development contract revenues. There were insignificant
grant activities in the Second Quarter 1996 related to the Company's other
products. In the Second Quarter 1995, grant revenues of $180,000 were related
to one other electric vehicle project and a small project in the seat system
product.
(8)
DIRECT DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT AND RELATED GRANT COSTS. Direct development
contract and related grant costs increased from $1,443,000 in the Second Quarter
1995 to $4,824,000 in the Second Quarter 1996 due to the increased activity in
the Company's electric vehicle program discussed above and due to the provision
of $1,225,000 for the loss expected on the Company's major electric vehicle
contract. No assurance can be given that there will not be additional future
provisions for losses on the contract.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
decreased from $678,000 in Second Quarter 1995 to $615,000 in the Second Quarter
1996 due to the fact that more of the Company's research and development
activities are funded by grants and by development contracts. Research and
Development activities were primarily in the company's radar and seat systems.
Furthermore, the company was continuing development of the IVS system in the
Second Quarter 1995 which was completed in late 1995 and therefore considerably
less was expended in the Second Quarter 1996.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased from $644,000 in Second Quarter 1995
to $705,000 in Second Quarter 1996. Direct and indirect overhead expenses
included in SG&A which are associated with development contracts are allocated
to such contracts. SG&A expenses for professional services increased by
$60,000, and marketing expenses related to the company's IVS system increased by
$35,000, offset by decreases in several other expenses.
SIX MONTHS 1996 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS 1995
REVENUES. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 ("1996") were
$6,114,000 as compared with revenues of $2,586,000 in the six months ended June
30, 1995 ("1995"). Approximately $5,424,000 of Second Quarter 1996 revenue
relates to two development contracts (and related grants) associated with the
Company's electric vehicle program, which is an increase of approximately
$3,774,000 over the Second Quarter 1995. The percentage of completion method of
accounting is used for these contracts and, accordingly, revenues and gross
profit are recognized as work is performed based on the relationship between
actual costs incurred and total estimated costs at competion. Revenues and
gross profit are recognized prospectively for revisions in estimated total
contract costs and contract values and estimated losses are recorded when
identified. Grant revenue is recorded when reimbursable costs are incurred.
As discussed above, due to delays in the contract completion and higher
costs, the Company recorded a charge against earnings for the approximate
estimated loss of $1,225,000 expected on the Company's major electric vehicle
contract and a reduction of calculated revenues of approximately $1.3 million.
The level of activity in the projects involved considerably more labor and
material expenses in 1996 compared to the early stages of the projects in 1995
when engineering design was the principal activity. In 1996, prototypes of the
vehicles in both projects were being tested; design modification changes were
being made; and tooling and parts were being ordered. Kits for 28 vehicle
frames with motor controllers were shipped in the Second Quarter 1996 to the
customer of the first major electric vehicle contract. As a consequence,
revenues increase as expenses increase under the percentage of completion
accounting for development contracts and under the recognition of reimbursable
costs for the related grants.
(9)
During 1996, development continued on the climate control seat system and
the radar system pursuant to development contracts some of which was funded
pursuant to development contracts. The magnitude of the revenues recognized for
the development of the seat systems and radar, and for the sale of IVS in 1996
was $690,000 compared to $530,000 in 1995.
Grant revenues in 1996 of approximately $815,000 were directly related to
the electric vehicle development contracts activities and are combined with the
development contract revenues. There were insignificant grant activities in
1996 related to the Company's other products. In 1995, grant revenues of
$406,000 were related to two other electric vehicle projects and a project in
the seat systems area.
DIRECT DEVELOPMENT CONTRACT AND RELATED GRANT COSTS. Direct development
contract and related grant costs increased from $2,066,000 in 1995 to $8,145,000
in 1996 due to the increased activity in the Company's electric vehicle program
and the provision of $1,225,000 for the loss expected on the Company's major
electric vehicle contract discussed above.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Research and development expenses
decreased from $1,333,000 in 1995 to $999,000 in 1996 due to the fact that more
of the Company's research and development activities are funded by grants and by
development contracts. Research and Development activities were primarily in
the company's radar and seat systems. In addition, the company was continuing
development of the IVS in 1995 which was completed in late 1995 and therefore
considerably less was expended in 1996.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Selling, general and
administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased from $1,433,000 in 1995 to $1,260,000
in 1996. Direct and indirect overhead expenses included in SG&A which are
associated with development contracts are allocated to such contracts. As a
result of the increased activity as discussed under "Revenues," more of such
expenses were allocated to development contracts in 1996 than in 1995.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $2,268,000. Since its
inception, the Company's principal sources of operating capital have been the
proceeds of its initial public offering in June 1993 and the private placement
of common stock in December 1995, together with revenues from grants,
development contracts and the sale of prototypes to customers. To a lesser
extent the Company received capital contributions from the Company's principal
shareholders before becoming a public company.
In 1996 cash and cash equivalents decreased by $4,282,000. Operating
activities used $7,311,000 of which $4,249,000 was for the operating loss and
$4,675,000 was for the increase in unbilled revenues and accounts receivable,
primarily related to the development contracts and grants related to the
Company's electric vehicle program. Unbilled revenues at the end of the Second
Quarter 1996 will be billed later in the fiscal year. Investing activities used
$173,000 related to the purchase of property and equipment. Financing
activities provided $3,202,000 of which $3,159,000, net of repayments, was from
borrowing under a revolving bank line of credit established to finance the cash
flows of the major electric vehicle contract.
(10)
The current $4,000,000 revolving bank line of credit will have reduced
available limits as the underlying project is concluded. As of June 30,
1996, $3,159,000 has been borrowed. The loan extends to September 30, 1996,
and the bank has verbally agreed that further extensions may be made.
However, there can be no assurance that the loan extension will be made by
the bank. In addition, other additional financing will be required, as
discussed below.
The Company expects to incur losses for the foreseeable future due to the
continuing costs of its product development and marketing activities. Cash
inflows during the current year are dependent upon achieving certain billing
milestones under existing development contracts and grants, and on obtaining
new production and/or development contracts. Cash outflows are dependent upon
the level and timing of production and/or development work and the amount of
research and development and overhead expenses.
Currently, the Company's available cash and expected cash inflows are
limited and the Company continues to review all sources and uses of cash in
order to have sufficient cash available for operations. Actions being
considered include: the reduction personnel and other operating expenses and
the reduction or deferral of certain research and development activities. The
effect of some of these actions could delay the completion of development
activities relating to some or all of the Company's products. In addition,
the Company is actively pursuing investments by strategic partners and/or the
sale of one or more of its technologies; a loan of up to $300,000 from Lon E.
Bell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company; and additional
debt and/or equity financing. At the present time, the Company expects to
have sufficient cash through October 31, 1996. Operations beyond that date
will require successful completion of a combination of the actions mentioned
above now under consideration by the Company. There can be no assurance that
these sources will provide adequate additional required financing. As a
development stage company, the Company will continue to need cash until such
time as sufficient profitable production contracts are obtained.
Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed above include forward looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, including with respect to the electric vehicle project,
potential further delays in the completion of the contract and receipt of
payments thereunder, unanticipated costs associated with the project which
may cause the estimated loss to increase, and unanticipated product design
problems, any of which will negatively affect the Company's cash flow
position; and with respect to the overall operations and expected future
operating losses, the timing and amount of financing required to continue
operations; and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's other
filings with the SEC, including the Form 8-K filed July 17, 1996.
