ITEMS AMENDED HEREBY
As used in this amended report, "Urecoats" and the "Company" or "Us" or "We" refer to Urecoats Industries Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. This amendment essentially amends and brings up to date certain changes involving legal proceedings and executive officers of our Company. In addition, we moved the Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans to our 2004 Proxy Statement. A new subdivision of Business entitled Seasonality has been included herein. The Financial Statements and related Notes have been updated in the form of additional tables and explanatory information. There were various other minor changes made to the manner in which information was previously presented without affecting its substance for the purpose of increasing transparency to our stockholders. We also expanded our Index of Exh ibits.
PART I
Item1.Business.
Overview
We are an emerging growth company, operating two wholly-owned subsidiaries, RSM Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a Urecoats Manufacturing, Inc.) and Infiniti Products, Inc. (f/k/a Infiniti Paint Company, Inc.). RSM Technologies, Inc. acquires, develops, markets, and sells spray applied elastomeric coatings, to the roofing, waterproofing, weatherproofing, corrosion, and construction industries (“RSM Technologies”). Infiniti Products, Inc. develops, manufactures, markets, sells, and distributes coatings, paints, and sealants to the construction, paint, roofing, and waterproofing industries (“Infiniti”).
Our Internet website address ishttp://www.urecoats.com. We make our periodic and current reports, together with amendments to these reports, available on our website, free of charge, as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, applicable to all officers, directors, and employees, as well as Audit, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee charters are posted on our website.
We have not earned profits to date, incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, and at December 31, 2003 have an accumulated deficit, net of dividends, of $(55,576,831), and our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $3,901,372 and our total liabilities exceeded our total assets by $2,569,668. Our operations have been funded primarily by Richard J. Kurtz, the Chairman of the Board, over the past 5 five years. See Part II, Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2. Going-Concern Issues Arising from Recurring Losses and Cash Flow Problems, for more information.
A strategic organizational initiative was initiated in the second quarter of 2003 which was designed to reduce our operating expenses and costs on an annualized basis, increase our effectiveness in delivering products to existing and potential new customers, and set the stage for us to achieve profitability in the near future. The latter half of 2003 up to the date of this amended report begins to reflect the results of our strategic organizational initiative.
In the fourth quarter of 2001, after a four year period largely characterized by research and development, RSM Technologies introduced its first RSM™ brand products, the RSM Hundred Series™, comprised of the RSM-100™ coating and BlueMAX™ spray equipment ("Flagship Products"), in the Eastern United States primarily to roofing contractors. In February 2004, RSM Technologies acquired the rights to market certain spray applied polyurethane products, referred to as the “Spectrum Series™, on a non-exclusive basis, which are manufactured and distributed by a non-affiliated California corporation. With our acquisition of Infiniti in September 2001, we acquired additional products referred to as our Infiniti™ brand, Infiniti Series™ products, consisting of coatings, paints, and sealants, which are being sold to construction, paint, roofing, and waterproofing contractors. During the third quarter of 2003, we addressed certain problems encountered in the field with our RSM Hundred Series™ products, which resulted in a near term decline in revenue for the annual period. See Research and Product Developmentsbelow.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, selected financial data from our continuing operations:

Products
We offer three series of products:RSM Series™,Spectrum Series™ andInfiniti Series™.
RSM Series™ products consist of the RSM™ brands made from our RSM Technologies™,Spectrum Series™ products consist of Spectrum™ brands marketed by us, andInfiniti Series™ products consist of the Infiniti™ brands made from our Infiniti Technologies™. We sometimes refer to these series of products collectively as our “Comprehensive Product Line”.
RSM Series™
The RSM Series™ is comprised of two series of products. The RSM Hundred Series™ products consist of coatings made from a patented three component RSM™ formula (i.e. “RSM-100™”) and patented spray equipment required for their application (“BlueMAX™”). The three components of the RSM™ formula are processed through the spray equipment to make and apply the coating at a job site. The RSM Thousand Series™ products consist of coatings made from a patent pending two component RSM™ formula (i.e. “RSM-2000™”) and patent pending spray equipment required for their application (“BlueWARRIOR™” and “BlueCHIEF™”). The two components of the RSM™ formula are processed through the spray equipment to make and apply the coating at a job site. Like its RSM Hundred Series™ predecessor, the R SM Thousand Series™ utilizes crumb rubber from recycled tires in its formula.
Spectrum Series™
The Spectrum Series™ is comprised of high performance Primers, Urethanes, Acrylics, Hybrids, and Polyureas suitable for use for a variety of industrial and commercial applications.
Infiniti Series™
TheInfiniti Series™ is comprised of roof coatings, paints, and sealants.
Sales and Marketing
Our growing sales force consists of inside and outside sales personnel. We attend select trade shows, advertise in trade publications, market using direct mail, and use other various media to target the high performance coating, roofing, waterproofing, weatherproofing, corrosion, construction, and urethane markets. Sales have primarily been in the Eastern United States and limited international markets to date. Our target customers are primarily coating applicators with plural component spray experience.
We introduced our newRSM Thousand Series™ andSpectrum Series™ products to the spray polyurethane, waterproofing, and roofing markets in the first quarter of 2004.
TheRSM Series™ is marketed using a numbering system to differentiate between the industries in which our RSM™ formulae has application (e.g. RSM-100™ or RSM-110 HP™ or RSM-1000™ for roofing markets, RSM-2000™ for waterproofing markets, etc.).
We sellInfiniti Series™ products to local coating and paint contractors and spray polyurethane foam applicators, through our distribution location in South Florida. Infiniti also is a registered vendor with and sells its roof paints and coatings to North America’s largest manufacturer and seller of paints.
Competition
The United States adhesives, sealants and coatings industry is highly fragmented with over 500 manufacturing companies. Future growth is expected to result from the trend of the industry to create new design and manufacture, lower costs, improve product characteristics, reduce weight and corrosion in new applications. Additional industry growth is expected to occur as a result of the increased use of adhesives, sealants and coatings in international markets. Competition is generally regional and is based on product quality, technical service for specialized customer requirements, breadth of product line, brand name recognition, price, service, and warranty. Due to the uniqueness of certain of our technologies, ease of application, cost savings, and the environmental marketing component, we believe we can achieve significant market share in the industries which we are targeting. Our RSM™ coating membranes can only be created through our patented and patent pending spray equipment. Nonetheless, we face strong indirect competition. Numerous companies are engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of sealant and coating products that compete with us. These competitors have equivalent or, in most cases, greater availability to resources than we do. In marketing our products, we compete primarily on the basis of product technology, value-added services, product performance, and installed price. Our future success will depend on our ability to successfully market our products and create awareness in industry and the public regarding the value of our products as with any new product. We are facing increased competition as we penetrate our existing target markets and build greater brand identity through our sales and marketing efforts.

Manufacturing
We use toll blenders, vendors, and suppliers, under private label agreements, to manufacture most of our Comprehensive Product Line’s needs. There is no known shortage of raw material availability or supply for our products with these sources. OurRSM Hundred Series™ formula is comprised of three components (A, B and C), which are manufactured by outside toll blenders, and an equipment vendor for the spray equipment, for distribution by us to our customers. TheRSM Thousand Series™ formula is comprised of two components (A and B), of which the A component is manufactured by an outside toll blender. We have identified and have available outside toll blenders for manufacturing our new B component. As part of our strategic organizational initiative, we have begun to design and will be establishing our own pilot manufacturing operations in our existing facilities for our RSM Series™ and most of the Infiniti Series™ products.We are moving towards developing an ability to custom manufacture formulations to serve a wider variety of industries. Most of these efforts will focus on providing the customer with specialized products to meet exact specifications, and despite relatively low volume, we expect to achieve a higher gross profit margin serving these niche markets. In addition, we have entered into a strategic alliance with a newly formed, non-affiliated corporation, for the manufacturing, technical support, service, and training of theRSM Thousand Series™ spray equipment (“BlueWARRIOR™” and “BlueCHIEF™”).
Distribution
In 2002, we entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Bradco Supply Corp. (“Bradco”), a roofing materials supplier serving the Eastern United States. During 2002 and after establishing this distribution channel with Bradco, we reduced the RSM-100™ and BlueMAX™ selling prices for competitive reasons, which resulted in a decreased margin not only for us but also Bradco. As part of our recent strategic organizational initiative, we are decreasing our reliance on Bradco’s distribution channel because we need to increase our margins to achieve profitability in the near future. We are now primarily selling ourRSM Series™ products direct to our certified applicators, andSpectrum Series™ products throughout the Eastern United States. TheInfiniti Series™ products are distributed throughout the Southeastern United States by Infiniti.
International
We are committed to limited international expansion with our RSM Technologies™ under distribution, license, and/or purchase agreements. In the fourth quarter of 2003, we executed a confidential purchase agreement, which becomes effective upon placement of an initial order, with a local non-affiliated Florida based company to purchase ourRSM Hundred Series™ products, for export only, exclusively to Turkey and the Middle East, for a term of five (5) years including an option to extend the term for a second five (5) year term. Pursuant to the purchase agreement, the buyer is obligated to purchase a certain amount of RSM Series™ products for each year of the agreement or we have the right to convert the agreement into a non-exclusive agreement. The purchase agreement also includes a supplemental license agreement that can be activated by the buyer after a certain amount of ourRSM Hundred Series™ products are purchased by the buyer. The license agreement, if and when activated, forms a joint venture between RSM Technologies (as licensor) and the buyer (as licensee) whereby RSM Technologies contributes its RSM Technologies™ (with the right at all times to maintain secrecy) and the buyer contributes all of the capital necessary to design, set up, and operate, a manufacturing plant in Turkey only.
Training
Based on the technical nature of our RSM Series™ products, we are required to place a high priority on training. Sales, operations, and technical personnel undergo specialized training relating to specifications, mechanical, repair, maintenance, and spray application techniques to ensure proper customer support to our certified applicators for ourRSM Series™ products. We require contractors/end-users/spray applicators who purchase ourRSM Series™ products to become certified in their use and application. On-site technical support and refresher courses on a regular basis are available for customer service purposes for a fee.
Research and Product Developments
We place a high priority on research and new product and process development. During 2002, we increased research and development on our RSM Technologies™ and developed a two component RSM™ formula and smaller, less expensive, equipment for its spray application (“BlueWARRIOR™” and “BlueCHIEF™”).Refer toProducts,RSM Series™,RSM Thousand Series™ above (we recently introduced these new RSM Technologies™ to the marketplace). During 2003, we encountered problems in the field with ourRSM Hundred Series™ products. The only valid way that we could make accurate assessme nts of the sensitivities of our products (e.g. RSM-100™ and BlueMAX™ ) to raw material variation, substrate preparation, operator technique, and ambient weather, was through the commercialization process. These factors were difficult, if not impossible, for us to simulate in the laboratory or from limited commercial distribution because they are very much dependent upon scale - multiple lots of raw materials, the amount of material processed and the number of projects completed and projects spanning the seasons. We have applied these field assessments and have reengineered ourRSM Hundred Series™ technologies™ to address them. Specifically, we identified the sensitive components of our technology and replaced them with components which perform at least as well as the originals under optimum conditions but with less sensitivity to the factors noted above. Using this methodology, we are assured of more reliable performance. The continuing intro duction of new products supplied by our research and development efforts are important to our success. There are intrinsic uncertainties associated with research and development efforts. We cannot assure you that any of our research projects will result in new products that we can commercialize. For the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, we spent $509,020, $820,533, and $1,250,213, respectively for research and development.

New Markets
We believe our RSM Technologies™ have applicability in many cross-over industry markets, such as corrosion and pipeline, and continue to explore these and other suitable potential markets.See alsoProducts,Spectrum Series™ above.
Patents and Trademarks
We own two patents relating to ourRSM Hundred Series™ products. Our patents are important to our business, but no one patent is currently of material importance in relation to our overall sales.
RSM Hundred Series™
We have an issued patent for theRSM Hundred Series™ formula, namely, U.S. Patent No. 6,271,305, issued August 7, 2001, entitled: "Bituminous Polyurethane Interpenetrating Elastomeric Network Composition and Method of Manufacturing the Same". A continuation application seeking broader coverage for the composition was filed in the United States Patent and Trademark Office on June 27, 2001 and was issued, U.S. Patent No. 6,538,060. We filed corresponding international applications in Europe, Brazil, Canada, and Mexico, which are pending.
We have an issued patent for our RSM Hundred Series™ spray equipment (“BlueMAX™”), namely, U.S. Patent No. 6,663,016, issued December 16, 2003, entitled: "Applicator Assembly for Application of Adhesives, Sealants and Coatings". We filed corresponding international applications in Canada, China, and an international PCT Application, which are pending.
Our success with our products will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain, and successfully defend if challenged, patent or other proprietary protection. However, the issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its validity or as to the enforceable scope of the claims of the patent. Accordingly, our patents may not prevent other companies from developing similar or functionally equivalent products or from successfully challenging the validity of our patents. Hence, if our patent applications are not approved or, even if approved, such patents are circumvented or not upheld in a legal proceeding, our ability to competitively exploit our patented products and technologies may be significantly reduced. Also, such patents may or may not provide competitive advantages for their respective products or they may be challenged or circumvented by competitors, in which case our ability to commercially exploit these products may be diminished.
We also rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how that we seek to protect, in part, through confidentiality agreements with our partners, customers, employees and consultants. It is possible that these agreements will be breached or will not be enforceable in every instance, and that we will not have adequate remedies for any such breach. It is also possible that our trade secrets will otherwise become known or independently developed by competitors. We may find it necessary to initiate litigation to enforce our patent rights, to protect our trade secrets or know-how or to determine the scope and validity of the proprietary rights of others. Litigation involving patents, trademarks, copyrights and proprietary technologies can often be protracted and expensive and, as with litigation generally, the outcome is inherently uncertain.
We market our products under various trademarks, for which we have both registered and unregistered trademark protection in the United States and certain countries outside the United States. We consider these trademarks to be valuable because of their contribution to the market identification of our products.
Employees
At December 31, 2003, we employed 25 people. None of our employees are currently represented by a union. We believe that our relations with our employees are generally very good.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations. We believe that our operations comply in all material respects with applicable environmental laws and regulations where we have a business presence. We do not anticipate any significant expenditure in order to comply with environmental laws and regulations that would have a material impact on our Company. We are not aware of any pending litigation or significant financial obligations arising from current or past environmental practices that are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position. We cannot assure you, however, that environmental problems relating to properties operated by us will not develop in the future, and we cannot predict whether any such problems, if they were to develop, could require significant expenditures on our part. In addition, we are unable to predict what legislation or regulations may be adopted or enacted in the future with respect to environmental protection and was te disposal.
Seasonality
Our business, taken as a whole, is materially affected by seasonal factors at this time. Specifically, sales of our products tend to be lowest during the first and fourth fiscal quarter, with sales during the second and third fiscal quarters being comparable and marginally higher than sales during the first and fourth fiscal quarter.

Historical Information
We were incorporated in the state of Delaware on October 20, 1989 as Natural Child Collection, Inc. and changed our name to Natural Child Care, Inc., on January 14, 1991. In 1993, we underwent a recapitalization, reverse merger, discontinued our pre-merger Natural Child Care operations, changed our name to Winners All International, Inc., and began post-merger random lottery operations. We were operationally inactive from August 1, 1995 to January 26, 1997, and began holding regular Board meetings to restructure our operations and transact business to rebuild shareholder value in January 1997. On January 29, 1997, a Special Meeting of the Board of Directors, recognized and resolved, that as a result of the permanent impairment of operational assets a measurement date of January 29, 1997 was established, to abandon our former random lottery operations effective for year ended July 31 , 1995. On January 28, 1997, we acquired Urecoats International, Inc. (f/k/a Perma Seal International, Inc.) and began our current sealant and coating operations. We changed our name to Urecoats Industries Inc. on February 8, 1999. We divested Urecoats International, Inc. upon completion of our sealant and coating development stage in 2000 and acquired Rainguard Roofing Corporation, a Florida corporation, which had minimal assets and liabilities, effective January 1, 2001, to commercialize our RSM Series™ products and generate revenues in the roofing and waterproofing contracting business. We divested Rainguard Roofing Corporation, effective December 31, 2001, and began selling our RSM Series™ products direct to contractors through RSM Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a Urecoats Manufacturing, Inc.). Infiniti Products, Inc. (f/k/a Infiniti Paint Company, Inc.) was acquired in September 2001 to, among other things, diversify our product offerings.

We reported revenue for the year ended December 31, 2003 of $3,976,856 as compared to $5,015,645 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The revenue generated from sales of our Application Systems was $492,700, which represented 12% of our revenue, as compared to $1,314,515 in 2002, which was 26% of our revenue, while sales from Coatings, Sealants and Other Products was $3,484,156, which represented 88% of our revenue, as compared to $3,701,130 in 2002, which was 74% of our revenue.
The decrease of $821,815 from Application Systems was due to: 1) a new pricing strategy which reduced our average price per unit by $10,981; 2) an increase in warranty costs relating to product application specifications, contractor practices, and other product issues, which are discussed in Part I, Item 1,Research and Product Developments section, and as a result, curtailed sales effort in the third and fourth quarter of 2003; and 3) more stringent requirements for potential applicators to qualify for the purchase of an Application System. As a result, we sold nine (9) Application Systems in 2003 as compared to twenty (20) in 2002.
The decrease of $216,974 from Coatings, Sealants and Other Products is a result of a decrease in sales of our RSM Series™ of $179,120 and a decrease of the Infiniti Series™ of $37,854.
Cost and Expenses
Our total cost and expenses are comprised of cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, professional fees, depreciation and amortization, research and development, consulting fees, and interest expense. These total costs and expenses decreased from $16,458,981 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $15,249,940 for the year ended December 31, 2003 for a decrease of $1,209,041. The decrease is comprised of a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, consulting fees, and cost of sales, which were offset by an increase in impairment of assets, loss on disposal and valuation of assets, depreciation and amortization, and interest.
Cost of Sales: Our cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $4,463,054 and is comprised of $2,948,935 of direct product costs and $1,514,119 of warranty costs, freight and other cost of sales. Direct cost for Application Systems was $431,550 or 88% of related revenue, and $2,517,385 for Coatings, Sealants and Other Products or 72% of related revenue. The warranty costs, freight and other cost of sales includes an adjustment to net realizable value of $555,700 to the value of Application Systems, and $571,601 of costs relating to the warranty reserve. This is compared to $4,182,220 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and is comprised of $3,958,828 of direct product costs, which includes introductory offers and customer service, support, and training costs, and $223,392 of warranty costs, freight and other costs of sales. Direct cost for the Application Systems w as $1,324,948, which includes an $117,000 adjustment to inventory relating to the new pricing strategy for 2003, and $2,633,880 for Coatings, Sealants and Other Products. The cost of sales as a percent of revenue for the Application Systems, excluding the inventory adjustment, is 92% and 71% for the Coatings, Sealants and Other Products.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $9,770,869 as compared to $7,155,729 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decrease of $2,615,140 is attributable to the strategic organizational initiative undertaken in the second half of 2003. The majority of the reductions are reflected in the following areas: personnel and personnel related costs decreased by $1,032,674; marketing, advertising, travel, and conventions resulted in savings of $1,006,629 and shareholder relations, communications, insurance, bad debt, customer relations and other administrative expenses were reduced by $575,837.
Professional Fees: Our professional fees increased $108,872 from $581,414 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $690,286 for the year ended December 31, 2003. This increase related to additional legal fees relating to litigation.
Depreciation and Amortization: Our depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $389,809 as compared to $671,567 for the year ended December 31, 2003 for an increase of $281,758. This change is attributable to an increase in the amortization of formula and patent costs, which was determined to be fully amortizable at December 31, 2003, and resulted in an increase in amortization expense of 274,698 and an increase in depreciation of $7,060.
Research and Development: Our research and development costs decreased $311,513 from $820,533 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $509,020 for the year ended December 31, 2003. This reflects our transition to full sales and production and reallocation of resources for the entire calendar year. We remain committed to the continual development of new products and technology.
Consulting Fees: Our consulting fees for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $554,025 as compared to $192,206 for the year ended December 31, 2003 for a decrease of $361,819. There was a reduction in fees paid for professional advice and services.
Interest Expense: Our interest expense increased $53,863 from $63,814 for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $117,677 for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase is due to additional short term loans from the Chairman of the Board which were later converted to equity.
Loss on Disposal of and Asset Impairment: We had Goodwill relating to the acquisition of a subsidiary, Infiniti Products, Inc., in 2001. Management evaluated the fair market value of this asset as required and determined that there was impairment at December 31, 2003. We consider relevant cash flow and profitability information, including estimated future operating results, trends, and other available information, in assessing whether the carrying value of the intangible assets can be recovered. As a result, a charge of $837,011 for the impairment of the asset was recorded and is reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. We also had a loss on the disposal of obsolete machinery and equipment in the amount of $96,297 in 2002 and $290,749 in 2003. In addition, the net book value of certain fixed assets was reduced by $322,641.
11 | ||
Discontinued Operations: During 2002, the Company evaluated all circumstances and that a period of five years had passed since any material communication relating to commitments and contingencies of our discontinued operations. Accordingly, the Company decided that a commitments and contingency reserve was no longer required for these discontinued operations. Therefore, the Income (Loss) From Discontinued Operations reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Operations are $0 and $599,601 for December 31, 2003 and 2002 respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had $42,718 of cash on hand at December 31, 2003 reflecting an increase of $1,198 when compared to the $41,520 of cash on hand at December 31, 2002. The cash on hand at December 31, 2001 was $519,225.
The cash required by operations for 2003 was $6,974,725 which was attributable to our net loss for the year, which was offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, decreases in accounts receivable, inventory, the offset of non-cash related operating expenses, and the elimination of non-cash expenses for consulting, legal fees, settlements and employee compensation. The cash required by operations for 2002 and 2001 was $9,462,026 and $5,437,184, respectively, and was a result of our net loss and increase in inventory which was partially offset by non-cash expenses for consulting, legal fees, settlements, and employee compensation.
The cash used in investing activities was $75,029 for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $996,430 for the year ended December 31, 2002 reflecting a decrease of $921,401. The net cash required for capital expenditures in the current year was $85,947 for the purchase of machinery and equipment for new product development, demonstrations, support of our customers, and leasehold improvements made in order to consolidate our operations. The net capital expenditures were $794,632 in 2002 and $652,645 in 2001.
We also used $728,903 of cash in the acquisition of our wholly owned subsidiary, Infiniti Products, Inc. in 2001. This acquisition expanded our product line to include a broader base of proprietary products and other products in addition to providing an initial internal distribution source for our RSM Series™ Flagship Products.
The cash provided from financing activities was $7,050,952 for the year ended December 31, 2003 as compared to $9,980,751 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and $7,378,142 for 2001. The primary source of cash for each year is attributable to the issuance of common and preferred stock, and proceeds of loans from the Chairman of the Board.
We currently do not have the liquidity or capital resources to fund our operations without raising capital either from borrowing or from the sale of additional shares of stock. Further financing through short-term loans and/or the private sale of our common and preferred stock to accredited sophisticated investors is anticipated. If adequate funds are not available when needed, our business, operations, financial condition and future prospects will be materially adversely affected. We estimate that approximately $4.25 million will be required for us to continue our operations in 2004.
Although no formal commitment has been received from the Chairman of the Board to fund the Company’s operating requirements for the 2004 year, we have received for the period beginning as of January 1, 2004 through March 4, 2004, loans amounting to $920,000 from the Chairman of the Board, which are bearing interest at 9% per annum. In addition, the Company is seeking to raise cash proceeds of at least $4,000,000 privately, on a best efforts basis, pursuant to a private placement offering, however, there can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent on management’s ability to successfully execute its business plan including an increase in revenue, decrease in operating costs and expenses, and seeking additional forms of debt and/or equi ty financing.SeePart II, Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 2. Going-Concern Issues Arising from Recurring Losses and Cash Flow Problems, for more information.

* During the year we acquired a roofing contracting company, Rainguard Roofing, primarily to field-test our Flagship Products, and to generate revenue. The revenue generated by this subsidiary was $1,352,463. The revenue earned by this subsidiary was previously reported as part of our total revenue. This amount does not include revenue from our contracting services of $1,352,463, which was discontinued, effective December 31, 2001. The combined revenue of Application Systems, Coatings, Sealants and Other Products, and contracting services totaled$2,607,755. As a result of successfully field testing our products and in response to our future customers, who are roofing contractors, management decided to discontinue operations of Rainguard Roofing effective for the year ended December 31, 2001. The total net activity of these discontinued operations is reflected in the (Loss) From Discontinued Operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
We reported revenue for the year ended December 31, 2002 of $5,015,645 as compared to $1,255,292 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The revenue generated from sales of our Application Systems was $1,314,515, which represented 26% of our revenue, as compared to $490,000 in 2001, which was 39% of our revenue, while sales from Coatings, Sealants and Other Products was $3,701,130, which represented 74% of our revenue, as compared to $765,292 in 2001, which was 61% of our revenue.
The increase of $824,515 from Application Systems was primarily due to having a full year of selling this product as compared to a partial year in 2001. The increase of $2,935,838 from Coatings, Sealants and Other Products is broken out as follows: a) $1,764,869 is related to a full year of revenue being reflected from our acquisition of Infiniti Products, Inc. as compared to four months in 2001 (See Note 4. Acquisition, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for pro forma information); and b) $1,170,969 is related to a full year of selling our RSM-100™ as compared to a few months in 2001. In response to certain market and economic conditions we refined our pricing strategy for our Flagship Products for 2003.
This impacted our revenue per unit and gross profit for these products, but we anticipate that new products to be introduced in 2003 will provide additional revenue and improved margins. During the fourth quarter, we sold five (5) new Application Systems for a total of $357,500. This amount was offset by $280,000 for Application Systems returned, $70,000 for an Application System that was originally recorded as a sale, but due to additional commitments made to the customer, this sale had to be deferred, and additional selling adjustments for $33,936.
As a result of successfully field testing our RSM Series™ Flagship Products and in response to our future customers, who are roofing contractors, we decided to discontinue providing roof contracting services through our Rainguard Roofing Corporation subsidiary and divested these operations, effective for the year ended December 31, 2001. The total net activity of these discontinued operations is reflected in the (Loss) From Discontinued Operations on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Cost and Expenses
Our total cost and expenses are comprised of cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, professional fees, depreciation and amortization, research and development, consulting fees, and interest expense. These total costs and expenses increased from $7,697,640 for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $16,458,981 for the year ended December 31, 2002 for an increase of $8,761,341. The increase is due to the Company having a full year of sales and distribution of its Application Systems and Coatings, Sealants and Other Products.
Cost of Sales: Our cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $1,060,890 and is comprised of $1,035,311 of direct product costs and $25,579 of warranty costs, freight and other cost of sales. Direct cost for Application Systems was $426,606 or 87% as a percent of related revenue, and $608,705 for Coatings, Sealants and Other Products or 80% of related revenue. This is compared to $4,182,220 for the year ended December 31, 2002 and is comprised of $3,958,828 of direct product costs, which includes introductory offers and customer service, support, and training costs, and $223,392 of warranty costs, freight and other costs of sales. Direct cost for the Application Systems was $1,324,948, which includes an $117,000 adjustment to inventory relating to the new pricing strategy for 2003, and $2,633,880 for Coatings, Sealants and Other Products. T he cost of sales as a percent of revenue for the Application Systems, excluding the inventory adjustment, is 92% and 71% for the Coatings, Sealants and Other Products.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2002 were $9,770,869 as compared to $2,899,297 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase of $6,871,572 is attributable to us introducing our RSM Series™ Flagship Products to the marketplace. This required an increase of personnel and personnel related costs of $2,849,446 for production, testing, technical support, and sales; $862,823 for insurance, communications, shareholder relations, and listing fees; $883,421 for products provided to complete key projects, reserve against notes issued on internally financed Application Systems, and bad debt reserve and expense; $772,784 for other overhead expenses; and $1,503,098 for marketing, advertising, travel, conventions, show booth and related materials required to build brand awareness, and d istribution. In addition, we updated our comprehensive sales and marketing program, including our web site, product brochures, literature pieces, and corporate video.
Professional Fees: Our professional fees increased $313,385 from $268,029 for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $581,414 for the year ended December 31, 2002. This increase related to services that were outsourced during the year that had previously been handled internally. Additional legal, including litigation, accounting and professional services were also required for major issues we dealt with during the year such as private placement documentation.
Depreciation and Amortization: Our depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $389,809 as compared to $402,240 for the year ended December 31, 2001 for a decrease of $12,431. The decrease is attributable to the disposal of certain property and equipment which was partially offset by amortization of patent development costs.
Research and Development: Our research and development costs decreased $429,680 from $1,250,213 for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $820,533 for the year ended December 31, 2002. This reflects our transition to full sales and production and reallocation of resources for the entire calendar year. We remain committed to the continual development of new products and technology.

Interest Expense: Our interest expense decreased $105,394 from $169,208 for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $63,814 for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease is due to the reduction of total liabilities over the year.
Loss on Disposal of and Asset Impairment: We had Goodwill relating to the acquisition of a subsidiary, Urecoats International, Inc., in 1997. Management evaluated the fair market value of this asset as required and determined that there was no value at December 31, 2001. Therefore, a charge of $913,490 for the impairment of the asset was recorded and is reflected on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Indemnification
Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that we will indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, each person that is involved in or is, or is threatened to be, made a party to any action, suit or proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of Urecoats or was serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. We have purchased insurance policies covering personal injury, property damage and general liability intended to reduce our exposure for indemnification and to enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.
Item 7A.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market Risk
We do not issue or invest in financial instruments or their derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. Our operations are conducted presently in the United States, and, as such, we are not subject to foreign currency exchange risks. Although we have outstanding debt and related interest expense, market risk in interest rate exposure in the United States is currently not material to our operations.
Item 8.Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
The information required by this Item is incorporated herein by reference to the financial statements set forth in Item 15(a) of Part IV of this amended report.
Item 9.Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
None.
Item 9A.Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
14 | ||
Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within us have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion o f two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2003, the end of the annual period covered by this amended report. The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of the disclosure controls’ and procedures’ objectives, design, implementation and the effect of the controls and procedures on the information generated for use in this amended report. In the course of our evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and to confirm the appropriate corrective actions, including process improvements, were being undertaken.
Based on the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the period covered by this amended report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were operating at the reasonable assurance level.There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date we completed our evaluation.

URECOATS INDUSTRIES INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements and notes are representations of management who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The accounting policies used conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
Organization
The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on October 20, 1989 as Natural Child Collection, Inc. and changed its name to Natural Child Care, Inc. on January 14, 1991. In 1993, the Company underwent a recapitalization, reverse merger, discontinued its pre-merger Natural Child Care operations, changed its name to Winners All International, Inc. (October 27, 1993), and began post-merger random lottery operations. On January 29, 1997, a Special Meeting of the Board of Directors, recognized and resolved, that as a result of the permanent impairment of operational assets a measurement date of January 29, 1997 was established, to abandon the random lottery operations effective for the year ended July 31, 1995. On January 28, 1997, the Company acquired Urecoats International, Inc. (f/k/a Perma Seal International, Inc.) and began its current sealant and coating operations. On February 17, 1997 , the Company changed its former fiscal year of July 31, to December 31. On February 8, 1999, the legal name of the Company was changed to Urecoats Industries Inc. The Company divested Urecoats International, Inc. upon completion of its sealant and coating development stage in 2000 and acquired Rainguard Roofing Corporation, a Florida corporation, which had minimal assets and liabilities, effective January 1, 2001, to commercialize its RSM Series™ products and generate revenues in the roofing and waterproofing contracting business. Rainguard Roofing Corporation was divested, effective December 31, 2001, as the Company began selling its RSM Series™ products direct to contractors. The Company currently operates two wholly-owned subsidiaries, RSM Technologies, Inc. (f/k/a Urecoats Manufacturing, Inc.) and Infiniti Products, Inc. (f/k/a Infiniti Paint Company, Inc.).
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company items and transactions have been eliminated.
Business
The Company, through its subsidiaries, acquires, develops, markets, sells, manufactures, and distributes coatings, paints, sealants, and urethanes utilized in the waterproofing, corrosion, roofing and construction industries.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts and notes receivable. The Company’s customers consist of contractors in the roofing industry and government agencies/municipalities. The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral to secure accounts and notes receivable. The Company maintains a reserve for potentially uncollectible accounts and notes receivable based on its assessment of their collectibility.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107 "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments", which requires the disclosure of the fair value of off-and-on balance sheet financial instruments. Unless otherwise indicated, the fair values of all reported assets and liabilities, which represent financial instruments (none of which are held for trading purposes), approximate the carrying values of such amounts.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Equivalents
The Company considers cash deposited with financial institutions and marketable securities with a maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition to be cash and cash equivalents.
F-9 | ||
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (Application Systems) or average cost (all other inventory) versus market (net realizable value). Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.
Long-Lived Assets
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Additions, major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed. Upon disposition, the net book value of assets is relieved and resulting gains or losses are reflected in earnings. For financial reporting purposes, depreciation is generally provided on the straight-line method over the useful life of the related asset. The useful lives for additions and betterments, range from three (3) years to five (5) years. Accelerated depreciation methods are generally used for income tax purposes. All long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment in value when changes in circumstances dictate, based upon undiscounted future operating cash flows, and appropriate losses are recognized and reflected in current earnings, to the extent the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated fair value determined by the use of appraisals, discounted cash flow analyses or comparable fair values of similar assets.
Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the assets of acquired businesses.Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142") requires goodwill to be tested for impairment, on an annual basis and between annual tests in certain circumstances, and written down when impaired, rather than being amortized as previous accounting standards required. SFAS No. 142 also requires that intangible assets with estimable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, unless these lives are determined to be indefinite. Intangible assets include trademarks, core technology and product marketing and other rights which are being amortized over their estimated useful lives. The Company considers relevant cash flow and profitability information, including estimated future operating results, trends, and other available information, in assessing whether the carrying value of the intangible assets can be recovered. Based upon the impairment tests performed, there was an impairment of goodwill for the period ended December 31, 2003 of $837,011. There can be no assurance that future goodwill impairment tests will not result in additional charges to earnings.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from sales of Application Systems upon shipment of product and title and risk of loss transfers to the customer. Revenue from the sale of Coatings, Sealants and Other Products is recognized when the goods are shipped to the customer. Allowances for returns of Coatings, Sealants and Other Products are provided for based upon an analysis of the Company's historical patterns of returns matched against the sales from which they originated.
Research and Development
Research and development costs related to both future and present products are charged to operations as incurred.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires the establishment of a deferred tax asset or liability for the recognition of future deductions or taxable amounts, and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax expense or benefit is recognized as a result of the change in the deferred asset or liability during the year. If necessary, the Company will establish a valuation allowance to reduce any deferred tax asset to an amount which will more likely than not be realized.
Stock-Based Compensation
As allowed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting. Under this method, the Company measures stock based compensation for option grants to employees assuming that options granted at market price at the date of grant have no intrinsic value. Restricted stock awards are valued based on a discounted market price of a share of nonrestricted stock on the grant date. No compensation expense has been recognized for stock-based incentive compensation plans other than for the restricted stock awards under the 2002 Executive Incentive Plan (when earned), 2002 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock (when vested), and certain executive employment agreements. (See Notes 17, 21, 22, and 23 for more information on these plans).
Net Loss Per Common Share – Basic and Diluted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 128 ("SFAS 128") "Earnings Per Share" requires public companies to present basic earnings (net loss) per share and, if applicable, diluted earnings (net loss) per share for all periods that statements of operations are presented.
F-10 | ||
Basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same since (a) the Company has reflected net losses from continuing operations for all periods presented and (b) the potential common shares of the Company would be anti-dilutive.
Warranty Reserves
The Company established a warranty reserve policy, calculated at 3% of revenue, and an allowance for doubtful accounts reserve. The amount reserved for warranties is $608,034 and allowance for doubtful accounts is $358,607 through December 31, 2003. During the second quarter, the Company began to experience an increase in warranty costs relating to product application specifications, contractor practices, and other product issues which are discussed in Part I, Item 1,Research and Product Developmentssection, of this report. The Company’s technical department evaluated the exposure on a per project basis, which resulted in an increased June 30, 2003 warranty reserve. The warranty reserve was evaluated again at December 31, 2003 and it was determined that claims had been settled and certain outst anding exposure were being mitigated by other sources; therefore, the reserve was reduced by $250,000 to its current balance.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2003 consolidated financial statement presentation. In addition, the common stockholders of the Company approved a 1-for-10 reverse split and share consolidation on May 28, 2002, which was effectuated at the close of business on May 30, 2002 and thus all share and per-share amounts have been restated for all periods presented.
Development Stage
The Company exited its development-stage and began operations on January 1, 2001.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In December 2003, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 104, “Revenue Recognition,” which supersedes No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB No. 104 rescinds accounting guidance on SAB No. 101 related to multiple-element arrangements as this guidance has been superseded as a result of the issuance of EITF 00-21. The Company adopted the provisions of SAB No. 104 in the fourth quarter of 2003. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In May 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity(SFAS No. 150), which establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 requires an issuer to classify certain instruments as liabilities (or assets in some circumstances) which may have previously been classified as equity. This statement is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The provisions of SFAS No. 150 are to be implemented by reporting the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle for financial in struments created before the issuance date of the statement and still existing at the beginning of the interim period of adoption. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 150 in the fourth quarter of 2003. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Comp any’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 149,Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(SFAS No. 149), which amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities . The provisions of SFAS No. 149 are generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and are to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 149 in the fourth quarter of 2003. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financia l statements.
In December 2002, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS No. 148) was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2002. SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (SFAS No. 123) to require prominent disclosures in both interim and annual financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148 also amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. We have decided not to voluntarily adopt the SFAS No. 123 fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. Therefore, the new transition alternatives allowed in SFAS No. 148 will not affect our consolidated financial statements. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 148 in the fourth quarter of 2003. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In July 2002, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, (SFAS No. 146) was issued and is effective for periods beginning after December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 146 requires, among other things, that costs associated with an exit activity (including restructuring and employee and contract termination costs) or with a disposal of long-lived assets be recognized when the liability has been incurred and can be measured at fair value. Companies must record in earnings from continuing operations costs associated with an exit or disposal activity that does not involve a discontinued operation. Costs associated with an activity that involves a discontinued operation would be included in the results of discontinued operations. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 146 in the fourth quarter of 2003. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
F-11 | ||
In June 2001, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, (SFAS No. 143) was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143 in the fourth quarter of 2003. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Going-Concern Issues Arising from Recurring Losses and Cash Flow Problems.
While the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities during the normal course of operations, certain adverse conditions and events cast substantial doubt upon the validity of this assumption. The Company has not earned profits to date, has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations, and at December 31, 2003 has an accumulated deficit, net of dividends, of $(55,576,831) and its current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $3,901,372 and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by $2,569,668. These factors raise doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has relied principally on non-operational sources of financing mainly from Richard J. Kurtz, the Chairman of the Board, to fund its operations over the past 5 five years. A strategic organizational initiative was initiated in the second quarter of 2003 which was designed to reduce the Company’s operating expenses and costs on an annualized basis, increase its effectiveness in delivering products to existing and potential new customers, and set the stage for the Company to achieve profitability in the near future. The latter half of 2003 up to the date of this report begins to reflect the results of our strategic organizational initiative.
Additionally, during the third quarter of 2003, the Company addressed certain problems encountered in the field with its RSM Series™ products, which resulted in a near term decline in revenue for the annual period.See Note 1,Warranty Reserves . The Company estimates that approximately $4.25 million will be required for continuing operations in 2004.
Although no formal commitment has been received from the Chairman of the Board to fund the Company’s operating requirements for the 2004 year, the Company has received for the period beginning as of January 1, 2004 through March 4, 2004, loans amounting to $920,000 from the Chairman of the Board, which are bearing interest at 9% per annum. In addition, the Company is seeking to raise cash proceeds of at least $4,000,000 privately, on a best efforts basis, pursuant to a private placement offering. The Company expects to seek to obtain additional funding through private debt and/or equity; however, there can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available. Although no assurances can be given, the Company anticipates, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions relating to its operations, that the cash proceeds goal of at least $4,000,000 will be sufficient to satisfy its capital requirements for the 2004 year. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern will be dependent on management’s ability to successfully execute its business plan including an increase in revenue, decrease in operating costs and expenses, and seeking additional forms of debt and/or equity financing. These financial statements do not include adjustments or disclosures that may result from the Company’s inability to continue as a going concern. If the going concern assumption were not appropriate for these financial statements, then adjustments would be necessary in the carrying value of assets and liabilities, and the reported net losses and balance sheet classification used.
Note 3. Discontinued Operations.
On April 14, 1999, the Board of Directors passed a unanimous resolution to discontinue the activities of Designer Wear, Inc. ("DWI") and ROK International, Inc. ("ROK"), retroactive for the year ended December 31, 1998. DWI and ROK were engaged in the acquisition of license agreements for the design, contract manufacturing, sale, and worldwide distribution of Branded Merchandise products. Rainguard Roofing Corporation (“Rainguard”) was acquired, effective January 1, 2001, primarily for the Company to field test its RSM Series™ flagship products, RSM-100™ and BlueMAX™, and generate revenue. The Company divested its Rainguard roof contracting business, effective December 31, 2001, which is reflected in Loss from Discontinued Operations. The consolidated financial statements and related notes contained herein have been recast to reflect the financial posit ion, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for these discontinued operations. The financial information for the Company’s discontinued operations includes allocations of certain Urecoats expenses to those operations.

During 2002, the Company evaluated all circumstances and that a period of five years had passed since any material communication relating to DWI and ROK commitments and contingencies, and decided that a commitments and contingency related reserve was no longer required.
Note 4. Acquisition.
The Company completed the acquisition of Infiniti Paint Company, Inc. (n/k/a Infiniti Products, Inc.), effective September 1, 2001, for $1,611,010. The purchase price was paid in cash and stock: $775,000 cash and 1,550,000 shares of Common Stock valued at $775,000 and miscellaneous expenses related to the acquisition of $61,010. The purchase accounting method was used to account for the transaction and the results have been included since the date of acquisition. The following proforma summary presents the consolidated results of operations of Urecoats as if the acquisition of Infiniti had occurred January 1, 2000.

Litigation
(a) Ponswamy Rajalingam and Uma Umarani, Plaintiffs v. Urecoats International, Inc., Urecoats Industries Inc., et. al., Defendants.
On May 15, 2002, in the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida, Plaintiffs filed a complaint against Urecoats International, Inc., Urecoats Industries Inc., Urecoats Technologies, Inc., and Richard J. Kurtz, Michael T. Adams, and two former officers of the Company, individually, and on November 12, 2002, in the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida, Plaintiffs filed a second complaint against Urecoats International, Inc. and Urecoats Industries Inc., alleging breach of contract, conversion, and numerous other claims under various common law and statutory theories. These two cases were consolidated in 2003. The Plaintiffs are husband and wife chemists who were retained as consultants to Urecoats International, Inc. pursuant to written consulting agreements. The agreements are dated in March 2 000 and expired by their terms in March 2001. They were not renewed. The contracts required, among other things, for the Plaintiffs to build “a full production delivery system” for a sprayable polyurethane and asphalt-based product. The Plaintiffs were paid all of their monthly payments under the two agreements. Plaintiff Rajalingam claims that he is owed $99,000 plus interest pursuant to his consulting agreement (which was money allegedly owed to him under a prior consulting agreement) and he was entitled to have restrictions lifted on 500,000 (50,000 post-split) shares of common stock in Urecoats Industries Inc. Plaintiff Umarani claims that she was entitled to have restrictions lifted on 311,000 (31,100 post-split) shares of common stock in Urecoats Industries Inc. They are seeking the monetary value of that common stock as of March 20, 2001. Moreover, both Plaintiffs owned approximately 2.15 million (215,000 post split) shares of additional restricted common stock in Urecoats Industries Inc. fo r which they are seeking the monetary value. Plaintiffs claim that they would have sold their common stock in March 2002, although this fact as well as the value they would have received from the sale of these shares is in dispute. The Plaintiffs are also seeking punitive damages, which the Company believes are questionable under Florida law and will be vigorously challenged on appeal if awarded, together with the claims against the individual officers and the tort claims against the corporate entities. This matter was settled pursuant to a confidential settlement agreement between the parties on April 21, 2004, prior to trial.See Note 26. Subsequent Events – Section (c).
(b) Raymond T. Hyer, Jr. and Sun Coatings, Inc., Plaintiffs v. Urecoats Industries Inc., et. al, Defendants
On October 3, 2003, in the Hillsborough County State Court, Division H, Plaintiffs filed a complaint against Urecoats Industries Inc. and Michael T. Adams, John G. Barbar, and a former officer of the Company, individually, alleging common law fraud and rescission in connection with their purchase of common stock in the Company. Plaintiff Hyer purchased $100,000 worth of common stock in June 2003 and Plaintiff Sun Coatings purchased $250,000 worth of common stock in July 2003. Plaintiffs allege that the Company and certain present and former officers failed to disclose the current financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries (notwithstanding that Plaintiffs signed subscription agreements admitting that they were provided all relevant and requested financial information). The Defendants’ motion to dismiss was denied by Order dated January 20, 2004. The Defendants answe red the complaint on February 13, 2004 and asserted, among others, the affirmative defense that Plaintiffs’ claims are barred by their signed subscription agreements. Discovery has not yet commenced and no trial date is set. The Company will vigorously defend this case and the outcome cannot be determined at this time.

Accounting for Stock Based Compensation
As allowed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation , the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting. Under this method, the Company measures stock based compensation for option grants to employees assuming that options granted at market price at the date of grant have no intrinsic value. Restricted stock awards were valued based on the discounted market price of a share of non-restricted stock on the date earned. No c ompensation expense has been recognized for stock-based incentive compensation plans other than for restricted stock awards pursuant to executive employment agreements (See Note 24) and board of director fees prior to the establishment of the 2002 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan (See Note 21). No compensation expense was recorded for any non-plan restricted stock options ("Non-Plan Options"). Had compensation expense for the Company's stock options under the stock-based incentive compensation plans described above (excluding Non-Plan Options) been recognized based upon the fair value for awards granted, the Company's net loss would have been increased to the followingpro forma amounts:

(a) As a result of the Company's highly volatile common stock trading performance in each of the respective years in this table, the overall strike prices of the outstanding options, and the uncertainty about its future economic performance, management has deemed the fair value of these options to be indeterminable. Accordingly, for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, the value of the options is deemed to be -0-.

F-22 | ||
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock
The Board of Directors designated a new series of preferred stock, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, effective September 30, 2001, $1.00 par value, and authorized 500,000 shares for issuance. The stated and liquidation value, per each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock was $5.00, which included a par value of $1.00 per share. The certificate of designation of preferences of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock had a mandatory conversion date of September 30, 2003. On September 30, 2003, the Company converted its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, all of which were owned by the Chairman of the Board, into 750,000 shares of restricted common stock (the conversion rate was 1.5 shares of restricted common stock for each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock). The registered holder of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 4% per annum of the stated value per each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, which annual per annum rate increased to 9% in 2002. Such dividend was payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on December 31, 2001. Such dividend accrued on each share of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock from the date of issuance of such Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (with appropriate proration for any partial dividend period) and accrued from day-to-day, whether or not earned or declared. Dividend payments made with respect to the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock may be made in cash when and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Company out of funds legally available therefor. There are accrued dividends of $213,574 as of December 31, 2003.
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock
The Board of Directors designated a new series of preferred stock, Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, effective January 8, 2002, $1.00 par value, and authorized 750,000 shares for issuance. The stated and liquidation value, per each share ofSeries C Convertible Preferred Stock is $20.00, which includes the par value of $1.00 per share. The holders of the outstanding Series C Convertible Preferred Stock have no voting rights with respect to the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, except as required by law, including but not limited to the General Corporation Law of Delaware, and as expressly provided in the certificate of designation. A holder has the right, at such holder's option, to convert each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock according to a conversion ratio into shares of restricted common stock, $. 01 par value per share (as converted, the "conversion shares"), on the terms and conditions set forth in the certificate of designation. The conversion ratio means the number of shares of restricted common stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock which number of shares of common stock varies depending upon the number of shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock purchased.
The price per share of common stock into which each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible is determined at the time of purchase pursuant to a discount formula related to the amount of investment by each investor. The discount formula is based upon two variables in order to determine price per share of common stock: (1) the total amount of the subscription on date of purchase which shall determine the applicable discount; and (2) the average of the closing bid prices per share for the common stock during the thirty (30) trading days immediately preceding (and including) the date of subscription for the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, to determine the price per share of common stock and the applicable discount, on the following basis: $100,000 to $249,999 equals a 15% discount; $250,000 to $499,000 equals a 20% discount; and $500,000 and greater equals a 2 5% discount. Once determined, the price per share (of common stock into which each share of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible) is divided into the amount paid per share for the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock in order to determine the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. Subject to the restrictions in the certificate of designation, any holder is entitled to convert any or all of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock into fully paid and nonassessable restricted shares of common stock at the conversion ratio at any time on or from time to time after 180 days (the "conversion waiting period") from the initial date of issuance of the first share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The certificate of designation of preferences of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock includes a mandatory conversion date of January 1, 2004. The registered holders of the outstanding Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 4% per annum of the stated value per each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. Such dividend is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on December 31, 2002 (each of such dates being a "dividend payment date"). Such dividend accrues on each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock from the date of issuance of such share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (with appropriate pro-ration for any partial dividend period) and accrues from day-to-day, whether or not earned or declared. Dividend payments made with respect to the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock may be made in cash when and as declared by the Board of Directors of the Company out of funds legally available therefor.
Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Options
The Company entered into two Series C Preferred Stock Option Agreements with the Chairman of the Board (the "optionee") dated January 8, 2002 and March 21, 2003, respectively (“Series C Options”). Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of the Series C Options, the Company granted to the optionee, the right and option (the "call option") to purchase at $20.00 per share (the "stated value") on the terms and conditions stated therein all or any part of an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the currently authorized and unissued Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company. The call options were exercisable, in whole or in part, during the period commencing with the date on which they were granted and ending on December 31, 2003, for payment in full: (i) in cash or certified check; (ii) securities or other liquidable property; (iii) a cknowledgement of cancellation of the Company's indebtedness to the optionee; or (iv) any combination of the foregoing. Under the Series C Options, the optionee granted to the Company the right and option (the "exercise demand right") to require the optionee to exercise a portion of the call options up to a maximum aggregate of 250,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for each respective Series C Option. This exercise demand right was exercisable by the Company at any time or from time to time during the term that the call options, or any part thereof, was outstanding, solely to require the optionee to purchase as much of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock necessary for continuance of the Company's operations during fiscal 2002 and 2003.The exercise demand right
F-23 | ||
remained outstanding for as long as the call options remained outstanding, and to the same extent as the call options. The Series C Options provided that if there was any change in the capitalization of the Company affecting in any manner the number or kind of outstanding shares of common stock of the Company, whether by stock dividend, stock split, reclassification or recapitalization of such stock, or because the Company had merged or consolidated with one or more other corporations (and provided the call options did not thereby terminate pursuant to their terms), then the number and kind of shares then subject to the call options and the price to be paid therefore would be commensurately adjusted by the Board of Directors. Any such adjustment was to be made without change in the aggregate purchase price applicable to the unexercised portion of the call options, but with an appropriate adjustment to the price of each share of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock or other unit of security covered by the call options. The price per share (of common stock into which the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was convertible) under the Series C Options was $2.20 and $.50, respectively, for each share of restricted common stock. As of December 31, 2003, the optionee exercised an aggregate of 460,245 of the Series C Options by acknowledgement of cancellation of the Company’s indebtedness to the optionee in the aggregate amount of $9,204,900, and the remaining 39,755 Series C Options (under the March 21, 2003 Series C Preferred Stock Option Agreement) expired.

Notes:
(1) During the fourth quarter of 2002, we sold five (5) new Application Systems for a total of $357,500. This amount was offset by $280,000 for Application Systems returned; $70,000 for an Application System that was originally recorded as a sale, but due to additional commitments made to the customer, had to be deferred; and additional selling adjustments for $33,936.
(2) The gross profit for the fourth quarter reflects a reduction in the valuation of the Application Systems in inventory due to a change in the Company's pricing strategy motivated by competitive market and economic conditions.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT
Management is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the consolidated financial statements appearing in this report. The consolidated financial statements were prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America appropriate in the circumstances and, accordingly, include some amounts based on management’s best judgments and estimates.
Management is responsible for maintaining a system of internal control and procedures to provide reasonable assurance, at an appropriate cost/benefit relationship, that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are authorized, recorded and reported properly. The internal control system is augmented by a program of internal audits and appropriate reviews by management, policies and guidelines, careful selection and training of qualified personnel and a written Code of Business Ethics and Conduct adopted by the Board of Directors, applicable to all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries. Management believes that the Company’s system of internal control provides reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded against material loss from unauthorized use or disposition and that the financial records are reliable for preparing financial statements and other data and for ma intaining accountability for assets. Management does not expect, however, that the Company’s disclosure controls or procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, composed solely of Directors who are not officers or employees of the Company, meets with the independent auditors, management and internal auditors periodically to discuss internal accounting controls, auditing and financial reporting matters. The Committee reviews with the independent auditors the s cope and results of the audit effort. The Committee also meets with the independent auditors without management present to ensure that the independent auditors have free access to the Committee.
The independent auditors, BAUM & COMPANY, P.A., were recommended by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and selected by the Board of Directors. BAUM & COMPANY, P.A. was engaged to audit the 2003, 2002 and 2001 consolidated financial statements of Urecoats Industries Inc. and its subsidiaries and conducted such tests and related procedures as deemed necessary in conformity with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. The opinion of the independent auditors, based upon their audits of the consolidated financial statements, is presented on Page F-29 of this report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Urecoats Industries Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Urecoats Industries Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Urecoats Industries Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company ceased amortization of goodwill as a result of the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” in 2002.
