ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
General
Applied Earth Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") (formerly
San Diego Bancorp), was incorporated under the laws of the State
of California on May 19, 1979, for the primary purpose of acting
as a bank holding corporation for several subsidiaries, and the
principal business was in the industrial loan market conducted
through a subsidiary named El Camino Thrift and Loan Association.
During several years preceding 1986, the Company incurred
substantial losses and during 1986 management decided to
discontinue all operating activities, and liquidate the remaining
assets and liabilities. The subsidiaries were either dissolved
or sold for nominal amounts, and the Company became a "shell"
corporation by December 31, 1986, and had no material operations
until September, 1993. On September 21, 1993, the Company
acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Enviro-Guard
Corporation (a corporation incorporated in the State of Utah on
May 30, 1991) from Enviro-Guard Holding Corporation (a
corporation incorporated in the State of Colorado on June 10,
1987). This transaction was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition whereby the acquired corporation (Enviro-Guard
Corporation) gains controlling stockholder interest in the
acquiring corporation (the Company), and the financial statements
of Enviro-Guard Corporation are presented on a continuous basis
since inception in May of 1991.
Enviro-Guard Corporation has developed a line of
organically-based insecticide products made from natural
compounds with the objective of achieving environmentally-
friendly, yet effective results. In August of 1992, Enviro-Guard
acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of Diatect
International, Inc. ("Diatect"), (incorporated in the State of
Kansas in 1989). Diatect has developed and owns the rights to
three EPA registered insecticides. Also in August of 1992,
Enviro-Guard acquired 100% of the outstanding common stock of
D.S.D., Inc. (incorporated in the State of Kansas in 1982). The
principal business activity of D.S.D., Inc., is the manufacturing
and sale of cattle dusters and mineral feeders as well as the
blending and sale of various agricultural related insecticides.
On December 18, 1992, Enviro-Guard Corporation completed
negotiations to acquire 90.14% of the outstanding common stock
(891,250 shares) of White Mountain Mining and Manufacturing, Inc.
("White Mountain") (an Idaho Corporation). White Mountain owns
83 unpatented BLM mining claims located in Malheur County,
Oregon. The purpose of this acquisition of the mining property
is for Enviro-Guard Corporation to have a source of diatomite,
which is an important organic ingredient for its environmentally-
safe insecticides.
On December 30, 1993, the Company acquired 100% of the
outstanding common stock of Actagro Acquisition, Inc.,
("Actagro") (formerly Actagro, Inc.). Actagro Acquisition, Inc.,
is a California corporation which manufactures and sells organic
based agricultural fertilizer to customers in the Southern San
Joaquin Valley. On December 6, 1994, the Company divested itself
of Actagro. In the divestiture, the shareholders of Actagro
returned 715,063 shares of the Company's common stock for
cancellation.
On August 22, 1996, the Company changed its name from San
Diego Bancorp to Applied Earth Technologies, Inc. to more
accurately reflect the Company's business operations and to
eliminate confusion as to the Company's business that was
associated with the Company's prior name.
Ability of the Company to Continue as a Going Concern
For the six-month period ended June 30, 1996, the Company
has incurred a consolidated net loss of $280,594. In addition,
at June 30, 1996, current liabilities exceeded current assets by
$1,564,017.
During the first six months of 1996, the Company converted
$198,164 in accrued salaries, marketing expenses and other
liabilities to equity by issuing 2,544,928 shares of common
stock. In the future, management believes there is an additional
$600,000 in debt (principally notes payable and accruals) that
may be converted to equity during fiscal year 1996. The Company
also believes that without additional conversions of debt to
equity and restructuring the payment terms of short-term debt,
substantial doubt remains as to the Company's ability to meet its
current obligations and continue in business. The Company has
taken steps to address its insolvency problems by working with
its creditors to keep them informed of the Company's progress in
meeting outstanding liabilities. For the most part, the
Company's creditors have been patient, waiting for payment at a
future date.
The Company must meet monthly operational expenses of
approximately $85,000. Currently, the Company has average
revenues from operations of approximately $75,000 which creates
an operational shortfall of approximately $10,000 per month.
However, management believes that additional revenue generated by
increased marketing efforts will result in increased sales of the
Company's products and ultimately alleviate a substantial portion
of the shortfall. Until those revenues eventuate, the Company
will be dependent upon outside funding to meet operating
requirements.
The Company is attempting to obtain additional working
capital from several sources, including investment banking firms,
private investors and state funding agencies interested in
assisting growing companies within the agri-environmental sector.
Management intends to seek equity financing through the sale of
the Company's securities.
Results from Operations
During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company
had revenues of $259,624, cost of sales of $134,045, operating
expenses of $309,461, other income of $12,376 and an income tax
benefit of $36,805. These yielded a net loss of $134,701,
compared to a net loss of $117,353 for the same period of 1995.
The substantial portion of the second quarter 1996 loss was due
to two factors: professional and consulting fees ($102,796), and
depreciation and amortization ($62,706). The Company believes
the resolution of its legal difficulties in Kansas and the
completion of its tardy financial reporting in 1996 will reduce
future professional fees. In addition, many of the other
operating, administrative and interest expenses associated with
the second quarter loss continue to be due, in part, to
insufficient cash flow and the illiquid nature of the Company's
non-current assets. Because of liquidity difficulties, many
expenses were paid through the issuance of common stock.
For the six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 30,
1995, the company had consolidated revenues of $452,798 and
$372,386, respectively. The net losses for the periods totaled
$280,594 in 1996 and $459,220 in 1995.
Management is hopeful that once its products are in the
marketplace, the losses from operations the Company currently
suffers will be alleviated by increased sales revenue and
profitability. Currently, the Company has not had the working
capital to effectively market its products.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has a severe working capital deficit. As of
June 30, 1996, the Company's working capital deficit totaled
$1,564,017 compared with $1,502,455 at December 31, 1995. The
Company reports current liabilities totaling $1,774,977 and no
long term debt. At the end of 1995, current liabilities and long
term debt were $1,688,297 and $200,000, respectively. During the
second quarter of 1996, total liabilities decreased $113,320.
The Company's working capital deficit continues to have a direct
correlation with the Company's inability to expand and market its
products effectively.
If the Company is unable to obtain some funds in the near
future, it will not be able to continue in business. The
Company, therefore, continues to seek working capital from
several sources, including equity markets and private investors.
There is no assurance, however, that these efforts will be
successful. The Company does feel that it will increase revenues
from operations as it moves from the development stage of its
products, which has included lengthy and costly time in obtaining
EPA approval. With the Company's products in the marketplace and
with adequate financial support, the Company anticipates revenues
to offset on-gong expenses. The Company is uncertain, however,
as to whether there will be sufficient revenues to cover prior
years' obligations.
As previously stated, the Company's lack of cash has
dramatically affected its ability to effectively market the
Company's products. The marketing strategy require funds to be
fully implemented. Accordingly, while the Company anticipates
more revenue from its products than it has received in the past,
it will not be as profitable as it could be with additional
funding for full implementation of its marketing and promotional
plans.
