LEADING-EDGE EARTH PRODUCTS, INC.
(A Development Stage Enterprise)
January 31, 2000
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION AND POOLING INTERESTS Leading-Edge Earth Products, Inc. (an Oregon
corporation; "LEEP(R)") believes its products have applications for
single-family, multifamily residential, and low-rise commercial construction.
Significant revenues have not yet been generated from research and development
activities or planned operations. The Company's business activities have been
financed primarily through the issuance of equity securities, outside loans, and
loans from shareholders.
LEEP was incorporated on December 23, 1991. On December 29, 1992, Leading-Edge
Earth Products, Inc., merged with an inactive public company, Crystal Asset
Management, Inc., which was incorporated in Oregon in 1968. This business
combination was accounted for as a pooling of interest. The newly combined
company was named Leading-Edge Earth Products, Inc. The stock began to trade
publicly in March 1993 under the trading symbol "LEEP."
USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
RECEIVABLES As a result of an agreement with Agile Building Technology, Inc.
("Agile") and others in fiscal 1997, the Company does not expect to collect
license and consulting revenues and interest due from Agile until after Agile is
in production and is in a position to make payments on amounts owning to the
Company. Consequently the Company adjusted revenues and established a reserve
totaling $371,683 for amounts due from Agile at January 31, 2000.
INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE Cash and other resources advanced to LEEP Building
Systems, Inc. ("LBS"), are accounted for at cost and include accrued interest.
The recoverability of this asset depends on the successful marketing of the
Company's products. Because of the nature of the relationship with LBS, this
investment is treated as a Long-Lived Asset. See discussion under Related Party
Transactions below.
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment consists of land purchased in
Idaho and costs associated with the development of a new plant.
NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Net Loss per common share is computed based on the
weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
outstanding. There was no difference between basic and fully diluted earnings
for the period presented.
Note 2: RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES AGREEMENT LEEP has entered into an agreement with the
owner of DB Associates, a stockholder and member of the Board of Directors, to
provide architectural and sales services. In addition to normal hourly rates for
architectural services, DB Associates will be paid for sales and marketing
efforts at the rate of $1.00 per panel for each panel sold to persons or
companies to which DB Associates specifies LEEP panels and causes such to be
ordered.
1
6
Alternatively, DB Associates will receive $0.25 per panel for providing
architectural review for compliance with the Company's standards on projects
with which DB Associates is not directly involved as architect.
INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATE Since July 31, 1998, the Company began advancing cash
and assets to LBS. The cash and other resources advanced by the Company under
this arrangement have been accounted for as "Investment in Affiliate." The
investment in LBS continues to increase and the relationship with LBS has
evolved. As a result, the investment is now considered a "long lived" asset.
LEEP continues to loan operating capital to LBS in anticipation of LEEP's
purchase of the LBS assets. While negotiations are not yet final, any contingent
losses relating to the Company's investment in LBS may result in a sizable
one-time non-cash charge to the Company's fourth quarter operating statement.
While the events are uncertain, management estimates that the one-time charge
could fall within the range of $200,000 to $700,000.
LOANS FROM STOCKHOLDERS On January 31, 2000, the Company owed $74,693, in
unsecured, demand notes payable to stockholders with interest accruing at 8% or
10% per annum. Also, as of January 31, 2000, about $89,829 in accrued interest
was owed to officers and directors of the Company.
LINE OF CREDIT On January 31, 2000, the unused portion of LEEP's $50,000 line of
credit was $27,107, and on February 4, 2000 the credit line was paid down
leaving the unused portion at $49,500. The Company's CEO personally guarantees
this line of credit.
CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL Certain present and past officers of LEEP agreed to write
down $616,854 in Accrued Contract Salary Payable and Loans from Shareholders in
the second quarter. These transactions involved no cash or stock transfers.
These reductions in current liabilities were accounted for by increasing the
value of Common Stock in Shareholders' Equity.
Note 3: PREFERRED AND COMMON STOCK
PREFERRED The Articles of Incorporation authorize issuance of up to 100,000,000
shares of common stock and up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. No
preferred shares have been issued. The Board of Directors has the authority,
without further stockholder action, to determine the preferences, limitations,
and relative rights of the preferred stock, subject to the requirements of the
Oregon Business Corporation Act.
COMMON STOCK Only a portion of the Company's common stock outstanding at January
31, 2000, is freely tradable. The freely tradable shares include the 1,193,683
shares originally held by certain founding stockholders, 995,000 shares
registered on March 4, 1994, and subsequently sold, and those shares issued
after December 29, 1992, where the holding period and trading volume
restrictions are satisfied. The unregistered shares issued pursuant to the
agreement of merger dated December 29, 1992, and any shares issued subsequent
thereto, are "restricted securities" under the Securities Act of 1933 and,
therefore, are subject to limitations on transferability.
All warrants to purchase shares of common stock have been called or have
expired.
Note 4: INCOME TAXES
Deferred tax assets primarily consist of net operating loss carry-forwards as
the Company has not generated taxable income since inception. There are no
significant deferred tax liabilities. As management of the Company cannot
determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will
2
7
receive benefit from these assets, a valuation allowance has been established to
reduce the deferred tax assets to zero at April 30, 1999. Differences between
the cumulative net loss for financial reporting purposes and that available for
income tax purposes arise primarily as a result of nondeductible expenditures
paid by the issuance of securities and capitalized start-up costs.
At April 30, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards available
to reduce taxable income in future years of approximately $4,513,000, which
begins to expire in 2009.
Note 5: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's financial instruments include cash, receivables, accounts payable,
notes payable and loans from stockholders. Except for notes receivable from
stockholders and loans from stockholders, LEEP believes that the fair value of
these financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts based on current
market indicators, such as prevailing market rates. It is not practicable to
estimate the fair value of notes receivable from stockholders and loans from
stockholders, due primarily to the uncertainty surrounding the timing of cash
flows.
Note 6: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
LEEP has arranged for manufacturing equipment costing up to $1,132,000 to be
manufactured, which is expected to be delivered to LEEP by the Company's fiscal
year end. LEEP has received lease commitments from finance companies for leases
in the amount of $1,132,000 over 60 months with monthly payments of
approximately $23,000 to pay for the machines, said payments to commence after
delivery of the machines. Grant Record and a company director have provided a
limited guarantee with recourse, and one of the manufacturers has provided a
remarketing agreement for $872,000.
LEEP entered into agreements with a company director who provided the financial
guarantees requiring LEEP to escrow 2,000,000 shares of Rule 144 restricted
common stock in the director's name to be issued to the director in the event of
default by LEEP that results in the director being required to make payments. As
a part of this agreement LEEP was also required to grant the director options to
purchase 1,300,000 shares of Rule 144 restricted common stock at $0.15 and $0.20
per share.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Matters discussed herein, contain forward-looking statements that involve risk
and uncertainties. LEEP's results may differ significantly from results
indicated by forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause some
differences, include, but are not limited to:
- - Changes in general economic conditions, including but not limited to
increases in interest rates, and shifts in domestic building construction
requirements;
- - Changes in government regulations affecting customers, LEEP, or Agile;
- - Risks generally involved in the construction business, including weather,
fixed price contracts and shortages of materials or price-competitive labor;
- - There are other companies with substantial capacity to build a structural
steel skin polyurethane panel which could represent competition to LEEP
STRUCTURAL CORE construction in certain types of buildings;
- - The ability of LEEP to successfully bring the products from their
development stage into full and profitable production;
3
8
- - In recent months LEEP's stock price has shown increasing volatility;
- - LEEP's ability to raise sufficient debt and/or equity capital to perfect its
business plans;
- - The occurrences of incidents which could subject LEEP to liability or fines;
- - LEEP's ability to obtain the sales orders necessary to support the volume of
production required sustaining successful operations.
The operations of Leading-Edge Earth Products, Inc., from inception until late
1997, were focused on research and development (R&D), after which the corporate
emphasis became manufacturing, marketing and sales. In November 1996, management
and shareholder-sponsored R&D activities were undertaken in Pennsylvania, on
behalf of LEEP, by LEEP Building Systems, Inc., assisted by LEEP's CEO, Grant
Record. Between November 1996 and early 1998, a structural, steel skin,
foam-filled panel and building system, was developed, completed, and tested (see
8-KSB report filed December 10, 1998), and a patent application additional to
LEEP's earlier claims, was filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Two
additional patent applications were filed during the quarter ended July 31,
1999. The product is known as "LEEP STRUCTURAL CORE(TM)" ("LEEP CORE"). The
management/investor group that sponsored LEEP's 1996/1997 R&D also provided
initial funding for LEEP Building Systems, a pilot manufacturing facility in
Pennsylvania to produce LEEP CORE. Production began in early 1998. This plant in
Pennsylvania currently has the capacity to produce sufficient panels to build
one commercial building every ten days, in the lower-tier size range of LEEP's
1,000 to 15,000 square foot target market. Equipment valued at over one million
dollars that will help to increase production in the Pennsylvania plant to three
buildings a week has been ordered and is expected to be delivered by the end of
LEEP's fiscal year. LBS and LEEP have rented a new facility to accommodate
expanded operations since LEEP will be unable to use the building currently used
by LBS. LEEP is in negotiations to purchase the assets of LBS using newly issued
common stock and the Company's Investment in Affiliate, with the intent of
retaining LBS personnel. LEEP continues to loan operating capital to LBS in
anticipation of LEEP's purchase of the LBS assets. While negotiations are not
yet final, any contingent losses relating to the Company's investment in LBS
assets may result in a sizable one-time non-cash expense charge to the
Company's fourth quarter operating statement. While the events are uncertain,
management estimates that the one-time charge could fall within the range of
$200,000 to $700,000.
LEEP's primary fiscal year 2000 focus is to finance the manufacturing, marketing
and selling of LEEP CORE. The long-term strategy of LEEP is to form, finance,
control, and manage regional manufacturing plants worldwide.
The Company is engaged in discussions with funding sources for up to $23.6
million, to: (1) expand production operations in Pennsylvania to produce
sufficient LEEP CORE product to construct three medium size commercial buildings
per week, (2) construct LEEP's first full-scale, continuous, automated,
manufacturing plant with a daily production capacity of 150,000 square feet of
LEEP CORE; and (3) have sufficient working capital to establish profitable
operations.
LEEP has retained the Pinnacle Consulting Group, Snohomish, WA to assist with
completing and implementing the design of the full-scale production facility.
Pinnacle's work will result in a set of drawings, specifications, and equipment
vendor lists. LEEP will be able to use Pinnacle's documentation package,
permanently, to duplicate the full-scale production facility.
In October 1998, LEEP CORE was tested at the Structural Research Laboratory of
the University of Washington's Department of Civil Engineering. The University
report indicates that LEEP's 4" thick by 12' high by 4' wide wall system is five
times stronger than required to support the roof load of typical
4
9
designs of American commercial buildings. The tests certify, respectively,
point-load--9,000 lbs.; distributed wall-load--14,000 lbs.; and point-load
internally reinforced--30,000 lbs. (See 8-KSB report filed December 10, 1998.)
More advanced tests are currently in process at the University of Washington to
certify all remaining force resistance characteristics of the LEEP CORE product.
During the quarter ending July 31, 1999, the Company gained new exposure to
desirable domestic building construction opportunities. LEEP is now heavily
engaged in addressing several projects aimed at exposing the Company's advanced
technical and building construction attributes in the U.S. markets. On December
8, 1999, the Company announced contracting with Larry R. Cook and Associates,
Houston, Texas, to represent LEEP and set up dealerships to market the Company's
product in 13 southern states. This resulted in LEEP's first order, a $100,000
contract to provide building panels for an 8,000 square-foot, pre-engineered,
two-story office building in Texas, that was announced in February, 2000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES: In recent years LEEP has been almost entirely
dependent on its CEO, Grant Record, arranging credit facilities, making personal
loans, procuring loans from other stockholders, and selling stock to investors
in order to meet the immediate cash needs of LEEP. LEEP has little revenue from
operations and does not have assets that can be liquidated to cover cash
requirements. LEEP anticipates using newly issued common stock, and the
Investment in Affiliate (as shown on the balance sheet), to purchase LBS assets.
Upon completion of the contemplated asset purchase now in final negotiations,
and LEEP obtaining full responsibility for manufacturing, LEEP's fixed costs
will increase by approximately $55,000 per month. LEEP does not expect long term
financing or sales sufficient to cover these costs to be in place prior to
commencement of these increased costs. LEEP will have to fund these expenses in
the interim with short-term loans, the sale of common stock, or by calling on
the investor agreement described in the Notes to Financial Statements.
Management, however, believes that LEEP is in the best position of its life to
raise the required capital to meet its published objectives. LEEP's business
plan indicates that the estimated $23.6 million to be raised will allow LEEP to
achieve significant levels of production and sales in the coming years. The
$23.6 million budget is allocated as follows: $2.3 million for manufacturing
buildings, $16.3 million for manufacturing equipment, and $5.0 million for
operating capital. The new equipment to be installed in the Pennsylvania plant,
will be financed with lease agreements described in the Notes to Financial
Statements.
In the year ending April 30, 1996, LEEP raised $23,541 from the sale of stock,
$202,700 in loans from stockholders, and exchanged $496,011 worth of LEEP
obligations for stock. In the year ended April 30, 1997, LEEP raised $25,000
from the exercise of stock options, borrowed $115,452 with demand notes, and
issued stock in exchange for $514,627 in LEEP obligations. In the fiscal year
ended April 30, 1998, LEEP raised $20,000 from the sale of stock, borrowed
$51,562 from stockholders and $386,500 from a credit facility, and issued stock
for $605,132 worth of LEEP obligations. In the fiscal year ended April 30, 1999,
LEEP received $46,816 from a credit facility, sold stock for $170,000 in cash
and payables, and increased notes payable by $98,020. As of now LEEP has
virtually paid off its $50,000 credit facility. This year through January 31,
2000, LEEP has increased common stock in exchange for $593,093 of its
obligations and cash, reduced loans from stockholders by $291,427, and received
$75,000 from the exercise of options to buy stock.
LEEP will need to continue with borrowings and selling stock in order to
continue funding its corporate overhead, until the level of cash flow generated
from operations allows self-sustained operations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS: No cash was received as revenue for the quarter ended
January 31, 2000. Since January 31, 2000 LEEP secured its first sale of
$100,000, but is not receiving license or consulting revenue. Interest due from
LBS has been accounted for as a Long-Lived Asset and LEEP continues to accrue
interest earned from Agile to a reserve account. There were no unusual expenses
associated with operations in the quarter ended January 31, 2000.
