Note 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | ||||||||
(a) | Business and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation | |||||||
Axion International Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) was formed in 1981. In November 2007, Holdings entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, among Holdings, Axion Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a newly created direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (the “Merger Sub”), and Axion International, Inc., a Delaware corporation which incorporated on August 6, 2006 with operations commencing in November 2007 (“Axion”). On March 20, 2008 Holdings consummated the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub into Axion, with Axion continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. | ||||||||
Axion Recycled Plastics Incorporated, an Ohio corporation and a recently created direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Axion, was established to purchase certain tangible and intangible assets of a plastics recycling company during November 2013. | ||||||||
We are a green technology company, which delivers tested, proven and superior green solutions to plastics manufacturers and infrastructure needs around the globe. Through Axion International, Inc., our engineered products business segment, we manufacture, market and sell ECOTRAX TM - our composite rail ties and STRUXURE TM - our structural building products, such as heavy construction and laminated temporary road mats, boards, pilings, I-beams, and T-beams. Axion Recycled Plastics Incorporated, our reprocessed plastics business segment, repurposes waste plastics into re-useable plastic raw materials, which are sold to manufactures or transferred for use in the production of our engineered products. Both our ECOTRAX and STRUXURE products are based upon patented technology and are fully derived from common recycled plastics and high-density polymers, such as polyethylene, polystyrene and polypropylene. These recycled plastics, which are combined with recycled plastic composites containing encapsulated fiberglass, achieve structural thickness and strength and are resistant to changing shape under constant stress. Our products, manufactured through an extrusion process, are eco-friendly, non-corrosive, impervious to moisture, do not leach chemicals and are resistant to insects and rot. Our engineered products possess superior lifecycles and generally have greater durability and require less maintenance than competitive products made from wood, steel or concrete. | ||||||||
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | ||||||||
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Holdings have been prepared in accordance with Rule S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes which may be required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. | ||||||||
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. However, the results from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2013 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC. | ||||||||
(b) | Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||||||
For purposes of our balance sheet and statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments, purchased as an investment, with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we maintained all of our cash in demand or interest-bearing accounts at commercial banks. | ||||||||
(c) | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | |||||||
We accrue a reserve on a receivable when, based upon the judgment of management, it is probable that a receivable will not be collected and the amount of any reserve may be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2014 we accrued a reserve of uncollectable accounts receivables in the amount of approximately $154,300. We did not provide for an allowance at December 31, 2013. | ||||||||
(d) | Property and Equipment | |||||||
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated and amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of two to twenty years. Costs incurred that extend the useful life of the underlying asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life. Repairs and maintenance are charged directly to operations as incurred. | ||||||||
Our property and equipment is comprised of the following: | ||||||||
June 30, | December 31, | |||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Equipment | $ | 17,893 | $ | 18,700 | ||||
Machinery and equipment | 9,487,114 | 8,803,087 | ||||||
Purchased software | 166,443 | 145,622 | ||||||
Furniture and fixtures | - | 14,599 | ||||||
Subtotal – property and equipment, at cost | 9,671,450 | 8,982,008 | ||||||
Less accumulated depreciation | -1,595,438 | -1,082,522 | ||||||
Net property and leasehold improvements | $ | 8,076,012 | $ | 7,899,486 | ||||
Depreciation expense charged to income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $258,100 and $512,900, respectively and for the corresponding periods of 2013 was $48,200 and 72,600, respectively. | ||||||||
(e) | Exclusive Agreement | |||||||
In February 2007, we acquired an exclusive, royalty-bearing license (subject to minimum royalties) in specific but broad global territories to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, modify, develop, import, and export products made using patent applications owned by Rutgers University (“Rutgers”). We are using these patented technologies in the production of our composite rail ties and structural building products such as pilings, I-beams, T-beams and boards of various sizes. | ||||||||
Royalties incurred and payable to Rutgers, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were $50,000 and $100,000, respectively. For the corresponding periods of 2013, the amounts were $50,000 and $100,000, respectively | ||||||||
(f) | Definite Life Intangible Assets | |||||||
In accordance with FASB ASC topic, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, acquired intangibles, are subject to amortization over their useful lives. The method of amortization selected reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the specific intangible asset is consumed or otherwise used up. Since that pattern cannot be reliably determined, a straight-line amortization method has been used over the estimated useful life. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for potential impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 we amortized approximately $19,800 and $39,500, respectively of these intangible assets | ||||||||
(g) | Indefinite Life Intangible Assets - Goodwill | |||||||
In accordance with the FASB ASC topic, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, indefinite life assets, such as goodwill, acquired as a result of a business acquisition and which are not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. The fair value is determined by subtracting the fair value of all the identified tangible and intangible assets included in the business acquisition from the fair value of the purchase price. | ||||||||
Based on the results of six months ended June 30, 2014, we determined that our recent experience of financial results for our reprocessed plastics reporting segment represents a triggering event requiring goodwill and related intangible assets impairment tests. The goodwill and related intangible assets associated with our reprocessed plastics reporting segment totaled $2.1 million as of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. We were unable to reasonably estimate the amount of goodwill impairment, if any, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and will complete our impairment test on all of our reporting units during the three months ended September 30, 2014. | ||||||||
(h) | Revenue and Related Cost Recognition | |||||||
In accordance with FASB ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition”, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement with the customer exists, products are shipped or title passes pursuant to the terms of the agreement with the customer, the amount due from the customer is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, and there are no significant future performance obligations. In most cases, we receive a purchase order from our customer specifying the products requested and delivery instructions. We recognize revenue upon our delivery or shipment of the products as specified in the purchase order. In other cases where we have a contract which provides for a large number of products and few actual deliveries, the revenues are recorded each month as the products are produced and the risk of ownership passes to the customer upon pre-delivery acceptance. Prior to deliveries, our customer’s products are segregated from our inventory and not available for fulfilling other orders. | ||||||||
Our costs of sales are predominately comprised of the cost of raw materials and the costs and expenses associated with the production of the finished product. Prior to 2013, we utilized third-party manufacturers, where under one arrangement we purchased and supplied the raw materials to the third-party manufacturer and we paid them a per-pound cost to produce the finished product. Under another arrangement, the third-party manufacturer sourced and paid for the raw materials and we purchased the finished product from them at a cost per unit. Beginning in 2013, we initiated production of our finished products within a leased facility utilizing our own employees. Additionally, in late 2013 we acquired the assets of a plastics recycling company and began to reprocess recycled plastics for use in our own finished products and to sell to customers for use in their finished products. Our costs of sales may vary significantly as a result of the variability in the cost of our raw materials and the efficiency with which we plan and execute our manufacturing processes. | ||||||||
Historically, we have not had significant warranty replacements, but during the year ended December 31, 2013 due to the improper installation of certain of our rail ties, we agreed to replace the rail ties. We do not anticipate additional situations where we might again replace improperly installed products and therefore do not provide for future warrant expenses. | ||||||||
(i) | Income Taxes | |||||||
Income tax provision consists of federal and state corporate income taxes resulting from our operations in the United States. The income tax provision differs from the expected tax provisions computed by applying the U.S. Federal statutory rate to loss before income taxes primarily because we have historically maintained a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets and to a lesser extent because of the impact of state income taxes. As described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, we maintain a full valuation allowance in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, on our net deferred tax assets. Until we achieve and sustain an appropriate level of profitability, we plan to maintain a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets. | ||||||||
We are current with the filing of our federal and state income tax returns. Our income tax returns are open to examination by federal and state authorities, based on statute of limitations, which is three years. | ||||||||
(j) | Derivative Instruments | |||||||
For derivative instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period as a charge or credit to other expenses. We use the Monte Carlo simulation, and other models, as appropriate to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates and the value is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date. | ||||||||
(k) | Share-Based Compensation | |||||||
We record share-based compensation for transactions in which we exchange our equity instruments (shares of common stock, options and warrants) for services of employees, consultants and others based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued on the measurement date. The fair value of common stock awards is based on the observed market value of our stock. We calculate the fair value of options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expense is recognized, net of expected forfeitures, over the period of performance. When the vesting of an award is subject to performance conditions, no expense is recognized until achievement of the performance condition is deemed to be probable. Awards to consultants are marked to market at each reporting period as they vest, and the resulting value is recognized as an adjustment against our earnings for the period. | ||||||||
(l) | Earnings and Loss Per Share | |||||||
Basic earnings or loss per share are computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share include the effects on our weighted average number of common shares outstanding of the potential dilution of (i) outstanding options and warrants, as determined using the treasury stock method and (ii) convertible securities as determined using the as-if converted method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 there was no dilutive effects of such securities as we incurred a net loss for the periods. | ||||||||
(m) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||
Fair value is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation models that require more judgment. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability. We have categorized our financial assets and liabilities that are recurring at fair value into a three-level hierarchy in accordance with these provisions. | ||||||||
(n) | Concentration of Credit Risk | |||||||
We maintain our cash with several major U.S. domestic banks. The amount held in these banks exceeds the insured limit of $250,000 from time to time. The amount which exceeded the insured limit was approximately $0.9 million and $0.3 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. We have not incurred losses related to these deposits. | ||||||||
(o) | Use of Estimates | |||||||
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. | ||||||||

Note 2 - Going Concern | |
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which contemplates our continuation as a going concern. At June 30, 2014, we had a working capital deficit of $8.6 million, a stockholders’ deficit of $24.6 million and have accumulated losses to date of $76.1 million. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In view of these matters, realization of certain of the assets in the accompanying balance sheet is dependent upon our ability to meet our financing requirements, either by raising additional capital or the success of our business plan and future operations. We may seek additional means of financing to fund our business plan. There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising sufficient funds to assure our eventual profitability. We believe that actions planned and presently being taken to revise our operating and financial requirements provide us the opportunity to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties. | |

Note 3 – Reportable Business Segments | ||||||||||||||
Our segment reporting is consistent with the current manner of how our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and our board of directors view our business. Our business model has consisted of reprocessing recycled or waste plastics into plastic products to be sold to manufacturers who require certain plastics in their processes and we transfer certain of these reprocessed plastics to our other segment which produces engineered products utilizing recycled plastics and plastic composites. In order to allow our CODM and management to make business decisions, we report two segments – Axion Recycled Plastics, our reprocessed plastics segment and Axion International, our engineered products segment. Decisions regarding allocation of resources and investment of capital have been made based on the reportable segments contribution to the financial success of the consolidated enterprise. | ||||||||||||||
The significant accounting policies of each segment are described in note 1. | ||||||||||||||

Note 6 - Derivative Liabilities | ||||||||||||||
8% Convertible Promissory Notes – Conversion Option and Warrants | ||||||||||||||
Prior to, and through June 30, 2014, we issued 8% convertible promissory notes (the “8% Notes”). See Note 7 for further discussion. The 8% Notes met the definition of a hybrid instrument, as defined in the ASC Topic 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The hybrid instrument was composed of a debt instrument, as the host contract, and an option to convert the debt outstanding under the terms of the 8% Notes, into shares of our common stock. The 8% Notes were issued with a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock. Both the conversion option and the warrants are derivative liabilities. The conversion option derives its value based on the underlying fair value of the shares of our common stock which is not clearly and closely related to the underlying host debt instrument since the economic characteristics and risk associated with the conversion option derivative are based on the common stock fair value. The warrants do not qualify as equity under ASC 815. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these warrant and conversion option liabilities are immediately recognized in earnings and classified as a change in fair value in the statement of operations. | ||||||||||||||
We determined the fair value of the conversion option and warrant derivative liabilities on the various dates of issuance and recorded these fair values as a discount to the debt and a derivative liability. The fair value of the conversion option derivative liability on the dates of issuance for those 8% Notes sold during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and the aggregate fair value of all the conversion options on June 30, 2014 was $3.0 million and $10.7 million, respectively. The $669,000 decrease in the fair value of this derivative liability during the three months ended June 30, 2014 was recorded as a change in derivative liability in the statement of operations. | ||||||||||||||
During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we offered all warrant holders the right to exchange their warrants for their fair value, as calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, for shares of common stock. All warrants associated with the 8% Notes were exchanged for shares of common stock resulting in no derivative liability for the warrants at June 30, 2014. This decrease in fair value of $3.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 was recorded as a change in fair value of derivative liability in the statement of operations. The fair value of common stock issued in exchange for warrants tendered exceeded the fair value of the warrant liability which resulted in compensation expense for all warrant holder considered affiliates of $19.1 million and approximately $883,500 of additional expense classified as fair value of common stock issued in excess of fair value of warrants tendered for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. | ||||||||||||||
The estimated fair values of the derivative liabilities for the conversion options on the 8% Notes issued during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and the warrants issued therewith, were computed by a third party using Monte Carlo simulations based on the following ranges for each assumption: | ||||||||||||||
At Issuances | June 30, 2014 | |||||||||||||
Volatility | 40.0% to 45.0 | % | 40 | % | ||||||||||
Risk-free interest rate | 0.2% to 0.3 | % | 0.2 | % | ||||||||||
Dividend yield | 0 | % | 0 | % | ||||||||||
Expected life | 1.2 to 1.6 years | 1.2 years | ||||||||||||
Placement Agent Warrants | ||||||||||||||
We issued warrants to the placement agents for the sale of our 10% convertible preferred stock, to purchase 58,352 shares of 10% convertible preferred stock at $10 per share. Since the underlying 10% convertible preferred stock is redeemable by the holder after three years from the date of purchase, we recorded the fair value of the warrants at issuance, as a liability on our balance sheet and we re-measure this warrant liability at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. We estimated the fair value at June 30, 2014 of this derivative liability by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions - (i) no dividend yield, (ii) an expected volatility of 85%, (iii) a risk-free interest rate 0.47%, and (iv) an expected life of approximately two years. The fair value of the warrant liability at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was approximately $119,700 and $296,200, respectively and we recognized a credit to our statement of operations for the decrease in fair value of the warrant liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 of approximately $55,500 and $176,500, respectively. | ||||||||||||||
Accounting for Fair Value Measurements | ||||||||||||||
We are required to disclose the fair value measurements required by Accounting for Fair Value Measurements. The derivative liabilities recorded at fair value in the balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure its fair value. Hierarchical levels, defined by Accounting for Fair Value Measurements are directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of the liability is as follows: | ||||||||||||||
Level 1 - | Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date; | |||||||||||||
Level 2 - | Inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and | |||||||||||||
Level 3 - | Unobservable inputs, for which little or no market data exist, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. | |||||||||||||
The following table summarizes the financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value: | ||||||||||||||

8% Convertible Promissory Notes (2012) | ||||||||||
During the six months ended June 30, 2014 pursuant to the same terms of our existing 8% convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”), we issued and sold to Melvin Lenkin, Samuel Rose and Allen Kronstadt collectively the “Investors”, (see Note 14 regarding related party transactions) and an unaffiliated investor (i) an aggregate principal amount of $2,550,000 and $1,000,000, respectively of our Notes which are initially convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price equal to $0.40 and $0.74, respectively per share of common stock, subject to adjustment as provided on the terms of the Notes, and (ii) associated warrants to purchase, in the aggregate, 7.3 million shares of common stock, subject to adjustment as provided on the terms of the warrants. | ||||||||||
The Notes, including all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest, are due and payable on the earlier of five years from date of issuance or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes). We may prepay the Notes, in whole or in part, upon 60 calendar-days prior written notice to the holders thereof. Interest accrues on the Notes at a rate of 8.0% per annum, payable during the first three years that the Notes are outstanding in shares of common stock, valued at the weighted average price of a share of common stock for the twenty consecutive trading days prior to the interest payment date, pursuant to the terms of the Notes. During the fourth and fifth years that the Notes are outstanding, interest that accrues under the Notes shall be payable in cash. | ||||||||||
Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $340,000 and $605,900, respectively. Accrued interest at June 30, 2014 of approximately $340,000 was paid with 507,483 shares of common stock, in lieu of cash, which were issued subsequent to June 30, 2014. | ||||||||||
Of the warrants to purchase 7.3 million shares of common stock, 6.4 million were exercisable at an exercise price of $0.60 per share of common stock and the remainder of 900,901 were exercisable at an exercise price of $1.11 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment as provided for by the terms thereof, for a period commencing on the date of issuance and ending on the earlier to occur of the date that is (i) three years after the date upon which the weighted average price of a share of common stock for the 90 consecutive trading days prior to such date is at least $2.00 per share, and (ii) five years after the date on which the Note to which the applicable warrant is related has been repaid in full. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we offered all warrant holders the right to exchange their warrants for their fair value, as calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, for shares of common stock. All warrants associated with the Notes were exchanged for shares of common stock | ||||||||||
The issuance costs of approximately $146,700, plus the fair values of the conversion option derivative liability and the warrants derivative liability were recorded as a discount to the Notes. This debt discount is amortized to other expenses in our statement of operations over the initial term of the 8% Notes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we amortized approximately $382,400 and $762,200, respectively of the discount to other expenses in our statement of operations. For the corresponding periods for 2013, we amortized approximately $138,100 and $282,000 to other expenses in our statement of operations. At June 30, 2014, the unamortized discount was approximately $5.7 million. See Note 6 for further discussion of these derivative liabilities. | ||||||||||
12% Revolving Credit Agreement | ||||||||||
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we entered into a Revolving Credit and Letter of Credit Support Agreement (the “Revolving Loan Agreement”) with MLTM Lending, LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“MLTM”), and Samuel G. Rose (“Rose” and together with MLTM, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to lend us up to $2,000,000 on a revolving basis. In addition, the Revolving Loan Agreement provides that MLTM will provide letter of credit support to us of up to $500,000 (the “LC Sublimit”). Each revolving loan made under the Revolving Loan Agreement bears interest at 12% per annum, of which 4% is payable by us in cash on the first business day of each month, and 8% is payable by us in shares of our common stock on the first business day of each calendar quarter, valued at a price equal to the average of the Weighted Average Price (as such term is defined in the Revolving Loan Agreement) of a share of our common stock for 20 consecutive trading days prior to the interest payment date. Under the terms of the Revolving Loan Agreement, we may prepay the revolving loans at any time, in whole or in part, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, without premium or penalty. The Lenders may accelerate all amounts due under the Revolving Loan Agreement, together with accrued and unpaid interest, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in the Revolving Loan Agreement. The maturity date of the Revolving Loan Agreement is December 31, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”). During the year ended December 31, 2013, we borrowed $2,000,000 less fees, under the Revolving Loan Agreement which remained outstanding through June 30, 2014. | ||||||||||
As consideration for the revolving loans extended under the Revolving Loan Agreement, with respect to the year ending December 31, 2013, and prior to each of December 31, 2014 and 2015, we are required to issue to the Lenders an aggregate of 200,000 shares of our common stock during each such calendar year, up to a total of 600,000 shares of our common stock. As consideration for MLTM providing letter of credit support, we are required to pay a letter of credit commission fee on the date of the Revolving Loan Agreement, and on each one year anniversary of the date of the Revolving Loan Agreement prior to the Maturity Date, in the amount equal to (i) 2% of the LC Sublimit in cash and (ii) shares of our common stock, with an aggregate value of 4% of the LC Sublimit, with each such share of our common stock valued at a price equal to the average of the Weighted Average Price of a share of our common stock for the 20 consecutive trading days prior to the date of payment. The payment of the letter of credit commission fee in cash and the issuance of the shares of common stock in payment of these fees results in additional interest expense. | ||||||||||
Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $60,100 and $127,100. Of the $127,100 of interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014, approximately $50,200 was paid in cash or is to be paid in cash and the balance of approximately $76,900 was or will be paid in shares of common stock. | ||||||||||
In connection with the entry into the Revolving Loan Agreement, pursuant to the terms thereof, we and the Lenders entered into a Security Agreement pursuant to which the Borrowers were granted a security interest and lien in all of our accounts receivable and inventory to secure the Borrowers’ obligations under the Revolving Loan Agreement. | ||||||||||
The issuance costs of approximately $7,800, plus the fair values of the shares of our common stock of approximately $140,900, issued as consideration for the revolving loans and the letter of credit support, were recorded as a discount to the revolving loans. This debt discount is amortized to other expenses in our statement of operations over the twelve month period ended November 30, 2014. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we amortized approximately $40,300 and $96,900, respectively of the discount to other expenses in our statement of operations. At June 30, 2014, the unamortized discount was approximately $29,400. | ||||||||||
3% Promissory Note | ||||||||||
On November 15, 2013, our subsidiary, Axion Recycled Plastics Incorporated (“Axion Recycling”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), among Y City Recycling, LLC (“Y City”), and Brian Coll and Renee Coll (collectively, the “Sellers”). See note 3. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Axion Recycling acquired certain assets from the Sellers relating to the operation of Y City’s recycled plastics facility located in Zanesville, Ohio (the “Facility”). As a component of the consideration paid by Axion Recycling for these asset was the assumption of a 3% promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) with a remaining principal balance of approximately $322,800 as of June 30, 2014. The principal and interest at 3% per annum, is payable in eighty-four monthly installments with the last installment due on February 1, 2018. | ||||||||||
The payment of the Promissory Note and all interest thereon is secured by a first interest in certain equipment owned by Axion Recycling. We may prepay the Promissory Note at any time, in whole or in part, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, without premium or penalty. | ||||||||||
Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 of approximately $2,500 and $5,200, respectively was paid in cash. | ||||||||||
4.25% Bank Term Loans | ||||||||||
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we purchased certain tangible and intangible assets including property and equipment of Y City Recycling LLC, a plastics recycling company, which were funded, in part, by term loans (the “Bank Term Loans”) in the aggregate principal amounts of $1,000,000 and $3,500,000. Each of the Bank Term Loans bears interest at 4.25% per annum and matures on November 15, 2018. With respect to principal payments under the Bank Loans, $100,000 is due on each of November 15, 2014 and 2015, $250,000 is due on each of November 15, 2016 and 2017, and the balance of the principal amounts outstanding under the Bank Term Loans is due on November 15, 2018. The Bank Term Loans may be prepaid in full or in part at any time without premium or penalty. The holder may accelerate all amounts due under the Bank Term Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, as defined in the documents. We were in compliance with the term of the Bank Term Loans at June 30, 2014. | ||||||||||
The Bank Term Loans are secured by a security interested in all of the equipment we purchased pursuant to this transaction and in certain of our equipment located at our Waco, Texas facility. | ||||||||||

8% Convertible Promissory Notes (2014) | ||||||||||
During the three months ended June 30, 2014 pursuant to the terms of our 8% convertible promissory notes (the “8% Notes”), we issued and sold to MLTM Lending, LLC, Samuel Rose and Allen Kronstadt collectively the “Investors”, (see Note 14 regarding related party transactions) an aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000 of our 8% Notes which are initially convertible into approximately 5.6 million shares of our common stock, subject to adjustment as provided on the terms of the 8% Notes, (i) at any time prescribed by the Investors or (ii) upon any date prior to June 11, 2019 (the “Maturity Date”) which the Company’s common shares are listed on a U.S. based stock exchange. | ||||||||||
The 8% Notes, including all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest, are due and payable on the Maturity Date or upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the 8% Notes). We may prepay the 8% Notes, in whole or in part, upon notice to the holders thereof. Interest accrues on the 8% Notes at a rate of 8.0% per annum, payable quarterly starting with September 30, 2014. For the quarter ended December 31, 2014 and for each subsequent quarter that the 8% Notes are outstanding, the Investors shall have the right to have the interest paid in shares of common stock, valued at the weighted average price of a share of common stock for the twenty consecutive trading days ending with the end of the quarter, pursuant to the terms of the 8% Notes. | ||||||||||

Note 8 - 10% Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock | ||||||||
The components of our 10% convertible preferred stock, classified as temporary equity in our balance sheet, are summarized as follows: | ||||||||
June 30, | December 31, | |||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||

10% convertible preferred stock, net of discount | $ | 6,946,230 | $ | 6,724,844 | ||||
During the year ended December 31, 2011, we designated 880,000 shares of preferred stock as 10% convertible redeemable preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The Preferred Stock has a stated value (the “Stated Value”) of $10.00 per share. The Preferred Stock and any dividends thereon may be converted into shares of our common stock at any time by the holder at a conversion rate, as adjusted (the “Conversion Rate”). The holders of the Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends at the rate of ten percent per annum payable quarterly. Dividends shall not be declared, paid or set aside for any series or other class of stock ranking junior to the Preferred Stock, until all dividends have been paid in full on the Preferred Stock. The dividends on the Preferred Stock are payable, at our option, in cash, if permissible, or in additional shares of common stock. The Preferred Stock is not subject to any anti-dilution provisions other than for stock splits and stock dividends or other similar transactions. The holders of the Preferred Stock shall have the right to vote with our stockholders in any matter. The number of votes that may be cast by a holder of our Preferred Stock shall equal the Stated Value of the Preferred Stock purchased divided by the Conversion Rate. | ||||||||
The Preferred Stock is redeemable for cash by the holder any time after the three-year anniversary from the initial purchase. The Preferred Stock were purchased during the six months ended June 30, 2011, therefore holders of the Preferred Stock have the right to redeem their Preferred Stock during the six months ended June, 2014. Since we were precluded by Colorado law from redeeming any Preferred Stock upon the attainment of the redemption dates, during the three months ended June 30, 2014, in exchange for extending the redemption date to after December 31, 2016, we’ve offered to reduce the conversion price to $0.80 for any conversion in 2014, to $0.70 for any conversions in 2015 and to $0.60 for any conversions in 2016 (the “Revised Conversion Terms”). We also offered to extend the expiration date of the preferred stock warrants an additional two years. In exchange, the Preferred Stock Holders agreed to automatically convert their Preferred Stock on the date our common shares are listed on a U.S. based stock exchange (the “Up-listing Date”). In addition, any Preferred Stock Warrants remaining outstanding at the Up-listing Date, will be cancelled and the holder issued a number of shares of common stock equivalent to the fair value of those warrants. Holders of $6,079,980 of the outstanding Preferred Stock have accepted this offer. | ||||||||
The Preferred Stock may be converted by us, provided that the variable weighted average price of our common stock has closed at $4.00 per share or greater, for sixty consecutive trading days and during such sixty-day period, the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock have either been registered for resale or are issuable without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. | ||||||||
The Preferred Stock when issued was a hybrid instrument comprised of a (i) a preferred stock, (ii) an option to convert the preferred stock into shares of our common stock (the “Conversion Option”) and (iii) a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock to be issued if a certain revenue milestone (the “Revenue Milestone”) was not achieved (the “Make Good Warrant”), as an embedded derivative liability. The Conversion Option derives its value based on the underlying fair value of the shares of our common stock as does the Preferred Stock, and therefore is clearly and closely related to the underlying preferred stock. Since, at issuance the number of shares of common stock which the Make Good Warrant would be exercisable into, was not determinable, and since the fair value of the Make Good Warrants was deemed improbable, we did not record a derivative liability. See Note 7 for further discussion on these derivative liabilities. | ||||||||
Since our Revenue Milestone for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 was not achieved (i) the Conversion Rate was reduced to $1.00, and (ii) each holder received a Make Good Warrant to purchase a number of shares of our common stock equal to fifty percent of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock at the Conversion Rate. The Make Good Warrants expire December 31, 2015, have an initial exercise price of $1.00 per share and provide for cashless exercise at any time the underlying shares of common stock have not been registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933 or are issuable without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we offered all warrant holders the right to exchange their warrants for their fair value, as calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, for shares of common stock. Warrant holders holding approximately 84% of these outstanding warrants elected the exchange offer. | ||||||||
During the year ended December 31, 2011, we sold 759,773 shares of Preferred Stock at a price per share of $10, for gross proceeds of $7,597,730. We paid commissions, legal fees and other expenses of issuance of $828,340, which has been recorded as a discount and deducted from the face value of the Preferred Stock. At issuance of the Preferred Stock, we attributed a conversion option to the Preferred Stock based upon the difference between the Conversion Rate at the time of issuance and the closing price of our common stock on the date of issuance, which was recorded as a discount and deducted from the face value of the Preferred Stock. Pursuant to the Make Good adjustment of the Conversion Rate to $1.00, at December 31, 2011 the conversion option was recalculated as if the $1.00 Conversion Rate was in affect at issuance which amounted to $2.1 million, and the amortization of the related discount was adjusted for the year ended December 31, 2011. These discounts were amortized over three years consistent with the initial redemption terms, as a charge to additional paid-in capital, due to our deficit in retained earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we amortized approximately $221,400, $226,500 and $455,800, respectively of these discounts to additional paid-in capital. At March 31, 2014, the Preferred Stock discount was fully amortized. | ||||||||
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we issued 39,000 shares of our common stock upon conversion of 3,900 shares of our Preferred Stock. There were no conversions during the three or six months ended June 30, 2014. | ||||||||
The Preferred Stock outstanding at June 30, 2014, is convertible into 8.5 million shares of our common stock pursuant to the Revised Conversion Terms or the original terms. | ||||||||
Since the Preferred Stock may ultimately be redeemed at the option of the holder, the carrying value of the shares, net of unamortized discount and accumulated dividends, has been classified as temporary equity. | ||||||||
Our dividend payable on June 30, 2014 of approximately $184,200 was paid, in lieu of cash, with approximately 274,900 shares of common stock, which were issued subsequent to June 30, 2014. | ||||||||
Placement Agent Warrants | ||||||||
We issued warrants to the placement agents for the sale of our Preferred Stock, to purchase 58,352 shares of 10% convertible preferred stock at $10 per share. Since at issuance, the number of shares of common stock which these warrants would be exercisable into was not determinable, we recorded the fair value of the warrants at issuance, as a liability on our balance sheet and we re-value this warrant liability at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. See Note 6 for further discussion of derivative liabilities. | ||||||||

At our Annual Meeting of Shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2013, our shareholders approved an amendment to our 2010 Stock Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock reserved thereunder by 2,000,000 shares. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2014 the board approved an additional 2,000,000 shares to be available for award under the 2010 Stock Plan, subject to shareholder approval, which brought the total available for award under the 2010 Stock Plan to 7,000,000 shares. The exercise price of an option is established by the Board of Directors on the date of grant and is generally equal to the market price of the stock on the grant date. The Board of Directors may determine the vesting period for each new grant. Options issued are exercisable in whole or in part for a period as determined by the Board of Directors of up to ten years from the date of grant. | ||||||||||||||
During the year ended December 31, 2013, our 2003 Stock Plan expired and no further awards are allowed. | ||||||||||||||
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we awarded options to purchase 175,000 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.54 to an employee and two of our directors. The right to exercise these options is on the date of award. We estimated the fair value of these options to be approximately $102,500 which was charged to expense in our statement of operations during the period. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair values, with the following range of assumptions: (i) no dividend yield, (ii) expected volatility of 90%, (iii) risk-free interest rates of 1.5%, and (iv) expected lives of five years. | ||||||||||||||
Certain options awarded prior to the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are amortized over vesting periods encompassing the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we issued warrants to purchase 7,275,901 shares of our common stock pursuant to our issuance and sale of our 8% convertible promissory notes, at an initial exercise price of $0.60 per share. These warrants had fair values on their dates of issuances of approximately $391,400 which was recorded as a credit to derivative liabilities and a charge to debt discount associated with our 8% convertible promissory notes. See Notes 6 and 7 for further discussion of these warrants. The estimated fair value of the warrants was computed by a third party using Monte Carlo simulation models. The following ranges of assumptions were used for the simulation models: (i) no dividend yield, (ii) expected volatility of 45%, (iii) risk-free interest rate of 0.2%, and (iv) an expected life of approximately one and one-half years. | ||||||||||||||
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we issued a warrant to purchase 160,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.20 in payment of amounts due a consultant. We estimated the fair value of this warrant to be approximately $84,700, which was charged to expense in our statement of operations during the period. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value, with the following range of assumptions: (i) no dividend yield, (ii) expected volatility of 90%, (iii) risk-free interest rate of 0.8%, and (iv) an expected life of approximately three years. | ||||||||||||||
In addition, the fair value of a previously issued warrant which was being amortized over a service period spanning multiple reporting periods, was revalued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, at the end of each reporting period. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we decreased the fair value by approximately $14,900 and recorded a charge in our statement of operations. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value, with the following range of assumptions: (i) no dividend yield, (ii) expected volatility of 90%, (iii) risk-free interest rate of approximately 0.8%, and (iv) an expected life of less than one year. | ||||||||||||||
Tender Offer to Exchange Warrants for Shares of Common Stock | ||||||||||||||
During June 2014, we extended an offer to exchange for shares of our common stock any and all of our outstanding warrants from the holders thereof (the “Tender Offer”). Each warrant holder was provided with the terms of the Tender Offer regarding their outstanding warrants. For every $10 of value attributed to the warrant, we offered to exchange 14.17707 shares of our common stock. The value of the warrants was derived from third parties using Monte Carlo simulation models and the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. The Tender Offer expired at 11:59P.M. on June 16, 2014. | ||||||||||||||
Of the warrants to purchase 47.7 million shares of our common stock subject to the Tender Offer, warrants to purchase 46.2 million shares of our common stock were tendered with fair value of $4.9 million and exchanged for 35.5 million shares with a fair value on date of issuance of $24.8 million. The warrants were cancelled upon tender. See note 5. | ||||||||||||||

Note 11 - Income Taxes | |
The income tax provision consists of federal and state corporate income taxes resulting from our operations in the United States. The income tax provision differs from the expected tax provisions computed by applying the U.S. Federal statutory rate to loss before income taxes primarily because we have historically maintained a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. We expect income tax expense to vary each reporting period depending upon taxable income fluctuations and the availability of tax benefits from net loss carryforwards. | |
As of December 31, 2013, we had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $25.7 million, which, if unused, expire through 2033. We do not believe that we have had a change in control as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, which could potentially limit our ability to utilize these net operating losses. At December 31, 2013, we recorded a valuation allowance against the full amount of our deferred tax assets, as our management believes it is uncertain that they will be fully realized. If we determine in the future that we will be able to realize all or a portion of our net operating loss, an adjustment to our net operating loss carryforwards would increase net income in the period in which we make such a determination. | |

During the year ended December 31, 2013, we entered into an assignment of the original lease for our recycled plastics processes facility, effective November 15, 2013 at a monthly lease payment of $25,750. The original term of the lease expires at the end of April 2018, but provides two additional five-year extensions and includes an annual rent escalation clause based on the greater of the change in a certain Consumer Price Index or 3%. We record rent expense based on the straight-line amortization of the full 15-year term of the initial lease plus all extensions. Our rent expense, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $95,000 and $190,800, respectively and our deferred rent at June 30, 2014 was approximately $44,800. This facility currently serves as our corporate headquarters. | |
Effective September 1, 2013, we signed a ten year lease for our production facility in Waco, Texas which provides five additional five-year extensions. Monthly rent expense for the first year of the lease is $21,875. The lease includes an annual rent escalation clause based on the greater of the change in a certain Consumer Price Index or 3%. We record rent expense based on the straight-line amortization of the full 35-year term of the initial lease plus all extensions. Our rent expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $113,400 and $226,700, respectively and our deferred rent at June 30, 2014 was approximately $165,000. | |
We lease office space in New Providence, New Jersey which previously served as our corporate headquarters, pursuant to a one-year extension of our prior three-year lease agreement for monthly lease payments of approximately $3,800. The lease expires on October 31, 2014. Facility rent expense totaled approximately $11,500 and $23,100 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively. | |
Royalty Agreements | |
In February 2007, we acquired an exclusive, royalty-bearing license in specific but broad global territories to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, modify, develop, import, and export products made using patent applications owned by Rutgers University (Rutgers”). We are using these patented technologies in the production of our composite rail ties and structural building products. The term of the License Agreement runs until the expiration of the last-to-expire issued patent within the Rutgers’ technologies licensed under the License Agreement, unless terminated earlier. | |
We are obligated to pay Rutgers royalties ranging from 1.5% to 3.0% on various product sales, subject to certain minimum payments each year and to reimburse Rutgers for certain patent defense costs in the case of patent infringement claims made against the Rutgers patents. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we accrued royalties payable to Rutgers on product sales of approximately $29,200 and $26,800, respectively. In addition, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, since we did not meet the minimum royalty due pursuant to the license, we accrued approximately $20,800 and $23,200, respectively which was charged to operating expenses in our statement of operations. | |
We also pay a royalty for the use of certain production practices for a rail tie products. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we paid approximately $23,100 and $20,100, respectively under this arrangement. | |
Litigation | |
From time to time we may be subject to various other routine legal matters incidental to our business, but we do not believe that they would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. | |

Business and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation | ' | |||||||
(a) | Business and Basis of Financial Statement Presentation | |||||||
Axion International Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”) was formed in 1981. In November 2007, Holdings entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, among Holdings, Axion Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a newly created direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings (the “Merger Sub”), and Axion International, Inc., a Delaware corporation which incorporated on August 6, 2006 with operations commencing in November 2007 (“Axion”). On March 20, 2008 Holdings consummated the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub into Axion, with Axion continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings. | ||||||||
Axion Recycled Plastics Incorporated, an Ohio corporation and a recently created direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Axion, was established to purchase certain tangible and intangible assets of a plastics recycling company during November 2013. | ||||||||
We are a green technology company, which delivers tested, proven and superior green solutions to plastics manufacturers and infrastructure needs around the globe. Through Axion International, Inc., our engineered products business segment, we manufacture, market and sell ECOTRAX TM - our composite rail ties and STRUXURE TM - our structural building products, such as heavy construction and laminated temporary road mats, boards, pilings, I-beams, and T-beams. Axion Recycled Plastics Incorporated, our reprocessed plastics business segment, repurposes waste plastics into re-useable plastic raw materials, which are sold to manufactures or transferred for use in the production of our engineered products. Both our ECOTRAX and STRUXURE products are based upon patented technology and are fully derived from common recycled plastics and high-density polymers, such as polyethylene, polystyrene and polypropylene. These recycled plastics, which are combined with recycled plastic composites containing encapsulated fiberglass, achieve structural thickness and strength and are resistant to changing shape under constant stress. Our products, manufactured through an extrusion process, are eco-friendly, non-corrosive, impervious to moisture, do not leach chemicals and are resistant to insects and rot. Our engineered products possess superior lifecycles and generally have greater durability and require less maintenance than competitive products made from wood, steel or concrete. | ||||||||
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. | ||||||||
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Holdings have been prepared in accordance with Rule S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission and with the instructions to Form 10-Q, and accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes which may be required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. | ||||||||
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. However, the results from operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated December 31, 2013 financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K filed with the SEC. | ||||||||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' | |||||||
(b) | Cash and Cash Equivalents | |||||||
For purposes of our balance sheet and statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments, purchased as an investment, with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we maintained all of our cash in demand or interest-bearing accounts at commercial banks. | ||||||||
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | ' | |||||||
(c) | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | |||||||
We accrue a reserve on a receivable when, based upon the judgment of management, it is probable that a receivable will not be collected and the amount of any reserve may be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2014 we accrued a reserve of uncollectable accounts receivables in the amount of approximately $154,300. We did not provide for an allowance at December 31, 2013. | ||||||||
Property and Equipment | ' | |||||||
(d) | Property and Equipment | |||||||
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated and amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of two to twenty years. Costs incurred that extend the useful life of the underlying asset are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful life. Repairs and maintenance are charged directly to operations as incurred. | ||||||||
Our property and equipment is comprised of the following: | ||||||||
June 30, | December 31, | |||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Equipment | $ | 17,893 | $ | 18,700 | ||||

Net property and leasehold improvements | $ | 8,076,012 | $ | 7,899,486 | ||||
Depreciation expense charged to income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $258,100 and $512,900, respectively and for the corresponding periods of 2013 was $48,200 and 72,600, respectively. | ||||||||
Exclusive Agreement | ' | |||||||
(e) | Exclusive Agreement | |||||||
In February 2007, we acquired an exclusive, royalty-bearing license (subject to minimum royalties) in specific but broad global territories to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, modify, develop, import, and export products made using patent applications owned by Rutgers University (“Rutgers”). We are using these patented technologies in the production of our composite rail ties and structural building products such as pilings, I-beams, T-beams and boards of various sizes. | ||||||||
Royalties incurred and payable to Rutgers, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were $50,000 and $100,000, respectively. For the corresponding periods of 2013, the amounts were $50,000 and $100,000, respectively | ||||||||
Definite Lived Intangible Assets | ' | |||||||
(f) | Definite Life Intangible Assets | |||||||
In accordance with FASB ASC topic, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, acquired intangibles, are subject to amortization over their useful lives. The method of amortization selected reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the specific intangible asset is consumed or otherwise used up. Since that pattern cannot be reliably determined, a straight-line amortization method has been used over the estimated useful life. Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for potential impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable. For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 we amortized approximately $19,800 and $39,500, respectively of these intangible assets | ||||||||
Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets - Goodwill | ' | |||||||
(g) | Indefinite Life Intangible Assets - Goodwill | |||||||
In accordance with the FASB ASC topic, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, indefinite life assets, such as goodwill, acquired as a result of a business acquisition and which are not subject to amortization are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s fair value. The fair value is determined by subtracting the fair value of all the identified tangible and intangible assets included in the business acquisition from the fair value of the purchase price. | ||||||||
Based on the results of six months ended June 30, 2014, we determined that our recent experience of financial results for our reprocessed plastics reporting segment represents a triggering event requiring goodwill and related intangible assets impairment tests. The goodwill and related intangible assets associated with our reprocessed plastics reporting segment totaled $2.1 million as of both June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. We were unable to reasonably estimate the amount of goodwill impairment, if any, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and will complete our impairment test on all of our reporting units during the three months ended September 30, 2014. | ||||||||
Revenue and Cost Recognition | ' | |||||||
(h) | Revenue and Related Cost Recognition | |||||||
In accordance with FASB ASC 605 “Revenue Recognition”, revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement with the customer exists, products are shipped or title passes pursuant to the terms of the agreement with the customer, the amount due from the customer is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured, and there are no significant future performance obligations. In most cases, we receive a purchase order from our customer specifying the products requested and delivery instructions. We recognize revenue upon our delivery or shipment of the products as specified in the purchase order. In other cases where we have a contract which provides for a large number of products and few actual deliveries, the revenues are recorded each month as the products are produced and the risk of ownership passes to the customer upon pre-delivery acceptance. Prior to deliveries, our customer’s products are segregated from our inventory and not available for fulfilling other orders. | ||||||||
Our costs of sales are predominately comprised of the cost of raw materials and the costs and expenses associated with the production of the finished product. Prior to 2013, we utilized third-party manufacturers, where under one arrangement we purchased and supplied the raw materials to the third-party manufacturer and we paid them a per-pound cost to produce the finished product. Under another arrangement, the third-party manufacturer sourced and paid for the raw materials and we purchased the finished product from them at a cost per unit. Beginning in 2013, we initiated production of our finished products within a leased facility utilizing our own employees. Additionally, in late 2013 we acquired the assets of a plastics recycling company and began to reprocess recycled plastics for use in our own finished products and to sell to customers for use in their finished products. Our costs of sales may vary significantly as a result of the variability in the cost of our raw materials and the efficiency with which we plan and execute our manufacturing processes. | ||||||||
Historically, we have not had significant warranty replacements, but during the year ended December 31, 2013 due to the improper installation of certain of our rail ties, we agreed to replace the rail ties. We do not anticipate additional situations where we might again replace improperly installed products and therefore do not provide for future warrant expenses. | ||||||||
Income Taxes | ' | |||||||
(i) | Income Taxes | |||||||
Income tax provision consists of federal and state corporate income taxes resulting from our operations in the United States. The income tax provision differs from the expected tax provisions computed by applying the U.S. Federal statutory rate to loss before income taxes primarily because we have historically maintained a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets and to a lesser extent because of the impact of state income taxes. As described in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, we maintain a full valuation allowance in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, on our net deferred tax assets. Until we achieve and sustain an appropriate level of profitability, we plan to maintain a valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets. | ||||||||
We are current with the filing of our federal and state income tax returns. Our income tax returns are open to examination by federal and state authorities, based on statute of limitations, which is three years. | ||||||||
Derivative Instruments | ' | |||||||
(j) | Derivative Instruments | |||||||
For derivative instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period as a charge or credit to other expenses. We use the Monte Carlo simulation, and other models, as appropriate to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates and the value is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the balance sheet date. | ||||||||
Share-Based Compensation | ' | |||||||
(k) | Share-Based Compensation | |||||||
We record share-based compensation for transactions in which we exchange our equity instruments (shares of common stock, options and warrants) for services of employees, consultants and others based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued on the measurement date. The fair value of common stock awards is based on the observed market value of our stock. We calculate the fair value of options and warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expense is recognized, net of expected forfeitures, over the period of performance. When the vesting of an award is subject to performance conditions, no expense is recognized until achievement of the performance condition is deemed to be probable. Awards to consultants are marked to market at each reporting period as they vest, and the resulting value is recognized as an adjustment against our earnings for the period. | ||||||||
Earnings and Loss Per Share | ' | |||||||
(l) | Earnings and Loss Per Share | |||||||
Basic earnings or loss per share are computed by dividing income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share include the effects on our weighted average number of common shares outstanding of the potential dilution of (i) outstanding options and warrants, as determined using the treasury stock method and (ii) convertible securities as determined using the as-if converted method. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 there was no dilutive effects of such securities as we incurred a net loss for the periods. | ||||||||
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | ' | |||||||
(m) | Fair Value of Financial Instruments | |||||||
Fair value is defined as an exit price, which is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The degree of judgment utilized in measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities generally correlates to the level of pricing observability. Financial assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in active markets generally have more pricing observability and require less judgment in measuring fair value. Conversely, financial assets and liabilities that are rarely traded or not quoted have less price observability and are generally measured at fair value using valuation models that require more judgment. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency of the asset, liability or market and the nature of the asset or liability. We have categorized our financial assets and liabilities that are recurring at fair value into a three-level hierarchy in accordance with these provisions. | ||||||||
Concentration of Credit Risk | ' | |||||||
(n) | Concentration of Credit Risk | |||||||
We maintain our cash with several major U.S. domestic banks. The amount held in these banks exceeds the insured limit of $250,000 from time to time.
