the terms "Amincor," "Company," "Registrant," "we," "us" and "our" refer to
Amincor, Inc., and its subsidiaries.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that
involve substantial risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements
are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations,
estimates and projections about us, our industry, our beliefs, and our
assumptions. Words such as "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans,"
"believes," "seeks," "estimates," "would," "should," "scheduled," "projects,"
and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future
performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors, some of
which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual
results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the
forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only
as of the date hereof and caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on
any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to
certain events, risks and uncertainties many of which are outside of our
control. When considering forward-looking statements, you should carefully
review the risks, uncertainties and other cautionary statements in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as they identify certain important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or
implied by the forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others,
the risks described below under Item 1A Risk Factors and elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We do not undertake any obligation to update any
forward looking statements.
We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any
revisions to these forward-looking statements or information. You should
carefully review documents we file from time to time with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. A number of factors may materially affect our business,
financial condition, operating results and prospects. These factors include but
are not limited to those set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and
elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Any one of these factors may
cause our actual results to differ materially from recent results or from our
anticipated future results. You should not rely too heavily on the
forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q,
because these forward-looking statements are relevant only as of the date they
were made.

however, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
information not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations and financial
position for the periods presented have been reflected as required by Regulation
S-X. The results of operations for the interim period presented is not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the year.
These consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's most recent Form 10-K which includes the audited consolidated
or combined financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2012.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of Amincor,
Inc. and all of its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively the "Company"). All
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates include the
valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, the useful lives of tangible and
intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of property, plant and
equipment, allowances for doubtful accounts and inventory obsolescence,
estimates related to completion of contracts and loss contingencies on
particular uncompleted contracts and the valuation allowance on deferred tax
assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
12
REVENUE RECOGNITION
BPI
Revenue is recognized from product sales when goods are delivered to BPI's
shipping dock, and are made available for pick-up by the customer, at which
point title and risk of loss pass to the customer. Customer sales discounts are
accounted for as reductions in revenues in the same period the related sales are
recorded.
TYREE
Maintenance and repair services for several retail petroleum customers are
performed under multi-year, unit price contracts ("Tyree Contracts"). Under
these agreements, the customer pays a set price per contracted retail location
per month and Tyree provides a defined scope of maintenance and repair services
at these locations on an on-call or as scheduled basis. Revenue earned under
Tyree Contracts is recognized each month at the prevailing per location unit
price. Revenue from other maintenance and repair services is recognized as these
services are rendered.
Tyree uses the percentage-of-completion method on construction services,
measured by the percentage of total costs incurred to date to estimated total
costs for each contract. This method is used because management considers costs
to date to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts.
Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period
in which overall contract losses become probable. Changes in job performance,
job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from final
contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income. These
revisions are recognized in the period in which it is probable that the customer
will approve the variation and the amount of revenue arising from the revision
can be reliably measured. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to
claims is included in revenues when negotiations have reached an advance stage
such that it is probable that the customer will accept the claim and the amount
can be measured reliably.
The asset account "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts
billed.
The liability account, "Billings in excess of cost and estimated earnings on
uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized.
AWWT
AWWT provides water remediation and logistics services for its clients which
include any business that produces waste water. AWWT invoices clients based on
bills of lading which specify the quantity and type of water treated. Revenue is
recognized as water remediation services are performed.
13
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable are recorded net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The
credit worthiness of customers is analyzed based on historical experience, as
well as the prevailing business and economic environment. An allowance for
doubtful accounts is established and determined based on management's
assessments of the aging of receivables, payment history, the customer's current
credit worthiness and the economic environment. Accounts are written off when
significantly past due and after exhaustive efforts at collection. Recoveries of
accounts receivables previously written off are recorded as income when
subsequently collected.
Tyree's accounts receivable for maintenance and repair services and construction
contracts are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Tyree,
BPI, and AWWT extend unsecured credit to customers in the ordinary course of
business but mitigate the associated risks by performing credit checks and
actively pursuing past due accounts. Tyree follows the practice of filing
statutory "mechanics" liens on construction projects where collection problems
are anticipated.
MORTGAGES RECEIVABLE
The mortgages receivable consist of commercial loans collateralized by property
in Pelham Manor, New York. The loans were non-performing and property was in
foreclosure as of December 31, 2012. In 2013, the Company gained title to the
property in satisfaction of the mortgages. The property is included in property
held for investment as of September 30, 2013.
The value of the mortgages was based on the fair value of the collateral.
ALLOWANCE FOR LOAN LOSSES
An allowance for loan losses is established as losses are estimated to have
occurred through a provision for loan losses charged to operations. A loan is
determined to be non-accrual when it is probable that scheduled payments of
principal and interest will not be received when due according to the
contractual terms of the loan agreement. When a loan is placed on non-accrual
status, all accrued yet uncollected interest is reversed from income. Payments
received on non-accrual loans are generally applied to the outstanding principal
balance. Loans are removed from non-accrual status when management believes that
the borrower will resume making the payments required by the loan agreement.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in,
first-out method. Market is determined based on the net realizable value with
appropriate consideration given to obsolescence, excessive levels and other
market factors. An inventory reserve is recorded if the carrying amount of the
inventory exceeds its estimated market value.
14
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and the related depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the
respective assets. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to
operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale
or retirement of an asset, the related costs and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized in the results of
operations.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the estimated life of
the asset or the lease term.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill represents the cost of acquiring a business that exceeds the net fair
value ascribed to its identifiable assets and liabilities. Goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangibles are not subject to amortization but are tested for
impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances change, such as a
significant adverse change in the economic climate that would make it more
likely than not that impairment may have occurred. If the carrying value of
goodwill or an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an
impairment loss is recognized.
Intangible assets with finite lives are recorded at cost less accumulated
amortization. Finite-lived tangible assets are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the expected useful lives of the respective assets.
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company evaluates the fair value of long-lived assets on an annual basis or
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amounts
may not be recoverable. Accordingly, any impairment of value is recognized when
the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss)
available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share considers the
potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue
common stock were exercised or could otherwise cause the issuance of common
stock. Such contracts include stock options and convertible preferred stock,
which when exercised or converted into common stock would cause the issuance of
common stock that then would share in earnings (loss). Such potential additional
common shares are included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
Diluted loss per share is not computed because any potential additional common
shares would reduce the reported loss per share and therefore have an
antidilutive effect.
15
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
All share-based awards are measured based on their grant date fair values and
are charged to expenses over the period during which the required services are
provided in exchange for the award (the vesting period). Share-based awards are
subject to specific vesting conditions. Compensation cost is recognized over the
vesting period based on the grant date fair value of the awards and the portion
of the award that is ultimately expected to vest.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain reclassifications have been made to the accompanying consolidated
condensed financial statements of prior periods to conform to the current
period's presentation.
3. GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern which contemplates
the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal
course of business. The Company has suffered recurring net losses from
operations and had a working capital deficit of $26,396,941 as of September 30,
2013, which raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as
a going concern. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is
dependent upon its capability to raise additional funds through debt and equity
financing, and to achieve profitable operations. Management's plans to continue
as a going concern and to achieve a profitable level of operations are as
follows:
* Advanced Waste & Water Technology, Inc.
* Successfully selling large-scale waste water treatment equipment
through AWWT's established licensing agreement.
* Baker's Pride, Inc.
* Securing additional donut and bread customers to increase the
utilization of existing plant assets and place significant and
competitive bids to strategic players within the fresh bread
manufacturing industry, as well as increase revenues from its
existing customers,
* Increasing co-pack donut, bread and bun business once the
existing plant assets are operating at maximum capacity,
* Tyree Holdings Corp.
* Increasing sales of the environmental business unit to existing
customers and bid on additional jobs outside of Tyree's current
customer base. Tyree's ability to succeed in securing additional
16
environmental business depends on the ability of one of Tyree's
primary customers to secure remediation work by bidding
environmental liabilities currently present on gasoline stations
and referring this work to Tyree,
* Evaluating Tyree's construction and maintenance business units
with respect to their ability to increase margins and operate
profitably independent of each other,
* Liquidating excess inventory that will not be utilized in the
normal course of operations during the next six months to
generate additional working capital.
* Amincor Other Assets, Inc.
* Liquidating assets held for sale to provide working capital to
the Company's subsidiaries,
* Seeking to mortgage the property located in Pelham Manor, New
York to provide additional working capital,
* Renting out assets held for sale to offset the costs of ownership
of those assets wherever possible, if the assets cannot be
liquidated.
* Amincor, Inc.
* Securing new financing from a financial institution to provide
needed working capital to the subsidiary companies.
While management believes that it will be able to continue to raise capital from
various funding sources in such amounts sufficient to sustain operations at the
Company's current levels through at least September 30, 2014, if the Company is
not able to do so and if the Company is unable to become profitable through the
first nine months of 2014, the Company would likely need to modify its plans
and/or cut back on its operations. If the Company is able to raise additional
funds through the issuance of equity securities, substantial dilution to
existing shareholders may result. However, if management's plans are not
achieved, if significant unanticipated events occur, or if the Company is unable
to obtain the necessary additional funding on favorable terms or at all,
management would likely have to modify its business plans to continue as a going
concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a
going concern.
4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Effective June 30, 2011, the Company discontinued the operations of Masonry and
Tulare Holdings, Inc., effective September 30, 2011 the Company discontinued the
operations of Epic Sports International, Inc and effective April 1, 2013 the

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related parties are natural persons or other entities that have the ability,
directly or indirectly, to control another party or exercise significant
influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions.
Related parties include other parties that are subject to common control or that
are subject to common significant influences.
DUE FROM FACTOR
AWWT, BPI and Tyree have entered into spot factoring agreements with a related
party ("Factor"), which shares common ownership and management with the Company,
under which eligible accounts receivable will be factored. The Factor assumes
credit risk for all credit-approved accounts. The Company pays to the Factor a
commission on each accounts receivable purchased ranging from (a) 2.25%-3.0% for
the first 30 days that such accounts receivable is outstanding and (b) after the
initial 30 day period, an additional 1% for each 10 days or part thereof that
such accounts receivable remains outstanding. The Company can request advances
of up to 80% of factored accounts based on the customer credit limit under the
21
terms of the factor agreements which control the activity under the agreement.
The factor agreement is secured by the eligible accounts receivable. The factor
fees amounted to $289,616 and $0 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013
and 2012, respectively.

Interest expense for these loans amounted to $406,677 and $258,150 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
10. SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ISSUED
On June 27, 2012, the Company issued 68,928 shares of Class B common shares as a
correction of the amount of shares issued upon the formation of the Company. As
a result, the amount of Class B shares outstanding and the weighted average
shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 have been
restated. This correction is de minimus and had no discernable effect on
previously reported loss per share.
On September 30, 2013, the Company issued 250,000 shares of Class A Voting
common shares to Caro Capital, LLC, for a purchase price of $200. The shares are
compensation for six months of financial consulting beginning September 17, 2013
to the Company and have been recorded at the fair value of the services
rendered. The shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933
and are restricted accordingly.
22
11. SHARES-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company does not have a formally adopted share-based compensation plan.
Stock option grants have been made as determined by the Board of Directors.
During 2013 and 2012, the Company's Board of Directors granted common stock
Class A options to the President, Vice-President, CFO, certain management and
employees of the Company, and certain officers and employees of its subsidiary
companies, all at various exercise prices. 50% of the options vest and become
exercisable on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 50% on
the second anniversary of the grant date, provided that the individual is
employed by the Company on the anniversary date.
The Company estimates the fair value of the stock options on the date of the
grant using the Black-Scholes option model, which requires the input of
subjective assumptions. These assumptions include the estimated volatility of
the Company's common stock price of the expected term, the fair value of the
Company's stock, the risk-free interest rate and the dividend yield. Changes in
the subjective assumptions can materially affect the estimated fair value of
stock compensation.
12. SEGMENTS
The Company is organized into six segments: (1) Amincor, (2) Other Assets, (3)

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
CONTINGENCIES:
BPI
In connection with Baker's Pride's USDA loan application, BPI had Environmental
Site Assessments done on the property where the Mt. Pleasant Street Bakery, Inc.
resides as required by BPI's prospective lender. A Phase II Environmental Site
Assessment was completed on October 31, 2011 and was submitted to the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources ("IDNR") for their review. IDNR requested that a
Tier Two Site Cleanup Report ("Tier Two") be issued and completed in order to
better understand what environmental hazards exist on the property. The Tier Two
was completed on February 3, 2012 and was submitted to IDNR for further review.
Management's latest correspondence with IDNR, dated March 21, 2012, required
additional environmental remediation to be in compliance with IDNR's
regulations. Management has retained the necessary environmental consultants to
become compliant with IDNR's request. Due to the nature of the liability, the
remediation work is 100% eligible for refund from INDR's Innocent Landowner
Fund. As such there is no direct liability related to the cleanup of the hazard.
25
TYREE
One of Tyree's largest customers, Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. ("GPMI") filed
for bankruptcy protection on December 5, 2011. As of that date, Tyree had a
pre-petition receivable of $1,515,401, which was subsequently written-off due to
the uncertainty of collection. Additionally, Tyree has a post-petition
administrative claim for $593,709. A Proof of Claim was filed with the
Bankruptcy court on Tuesday, April 10, 2012. On August 27, 2012, the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York confirmed GPMI's
Chapter 11 plan of liquidation offered by its unsecured creditors committee,
overruling the remaining objections. The plan provides for all of the debtors'
property to be liquidated over time and for the proceeds to be allocated to
creditors. Any assets not distributed by the effective date will be held by a
liquidating trust and administered by a liquidation trustee, who will be
responsible for liquidating assets, resolving disputed claims, making
distributions, pursuing reserved causes of action and winding up GPMI's affairs.
As an unsecured creditor, Tyree may never collect or may only collect a small
percentage of the pre and post-petition amounts owed. To date, Tyree has not
been notified of any intent by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York to claw back any amounts paid to Tyree
pre-petition.
As of the date of this filing, Tyree management has negotiated settlements with
Local Unions 99, 138 and 355. Tyree management continues to negotiate with Local
Unions 1, 25 and 200 over unpaid benefits that are due to each of the respective
unions. As of September 30, 2013, Tyree had approximately $1.2 million in unpaid
benefits. Tyree management does not dispute that benefits are due and owing to
each of the respective unions, however, settlement and payment plan discussions
are ongoing. Local Unions 1 and 200 have each filed suit in the United States
District Court Eastern District of New York to enforce their rights as to the
unpaid benefits due and owing from Tyree, and as guarantor of certain amounts
due and owing, Amincor, Inc. is also a named party in these lawsuits.
Local Union 200 filed a claim with the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB")
alleging that Tyree Service Corp violated the National Labor Relations Act. By a
letter dated May 31, 2013, the NLRB dismissed all charges against Tyree Service
Corp. due to insufficient evidence to establish a violation. Local 200 intends
to appeal the NLRB decision.
A variety of unsecured vendors have filed suit for non-payment of outstanding
invoices totaling approximately $2.5 million as of September 30, 2013, which are
reflected as liabilities on the Company's consolidated condensed balance sheet.
Each of these actions is handled on a case by case basis, to determine the
settlement and payment plan.
ESI
The Volkl license agreement was terminated in September 2011 and concurrently
the Strategic Alliance Agreement with Samsung America CT, Inc. ("Samsung") was
also terminated. Volkl is seeking a $400,000 royalty payment. Epic has initiated
26
counterclaims against the various parties, including but not limited to Samsung,
seeking damages for, including but not limited to infringement, improper use of
company assets and breach of fiduciary duty. Volkl was successful in obtaining a
judgment against Epic Sports International, Inc. and a confirmation of the
Arbitration is presently pending in Federal Court. Management believes that this
matter and the Frost matter below will eventually be settled out of court for
less than the royalty and damages amounts sought.
On September 28, 2012, Sean Frost ("Frost"), the former President of Epic Sports
International, Inc., filed a complaint against Epic Sports International Inc.,
Amincor, Inc. and Joseph Ingrassia (collectively, the "Defendants"). The first
cause of action of the complaint is a petition to compel arbitration for unpaid
compensation and benefits pursuant to Frost's employment agreement. The second
cause of action of the complaint is for breach of contract for alleged
non-payment of expenses, vacation days and assumption of certain debts. The
third cause of action of the complaint is for violation of the California Labor
Code for failure to pay wages. In addition, Frost is seeking among other things,
damages, attorneys' fees and costs and expenses.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
AMINCOR
On July 6, 2012, SFR Holdings, Ltd., Eden Rock Finance Master Limited, Eden Rock
Asset Based Lending Master Ltd., Eden Rock Unleveraged Finance Master Limited,
SHK Asset Backed Finance Limited, Cannonball Plus Fund Limited and Cannonball
Stability Fund, LP (collectively, the "Plaintiffs") commenced an action in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York against Amincor, Inc.,
Amincor Other Assets, Inc., their officers and directors, John R. Rice III,
Joseph F. Ingrassia and Robert L. Olson and various other entities affiliated
with or controlled directly or indirectly by John R. Rice III and Joseph F.
Ingrassia (collectively the "Defendants"). Plaintiffs allege that Defendants
engaged in wrongful acts, including fraudulent inducement, fraud, breach of
fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, fraudulent conveyance and breach of contract.
Plaintiffs are seeking compensatory damages in an amount in excess of $150,000
to be determined at trial. Litigation is pending. Management believes that this
lawsuit has no merit or basis and intends to vigorously defend it.
TYREE
Tyree's services are regulated by federal, state and local laws enacted to
regulate discharge of materials into the environment, remediation of
contaminated soil and groundwater or otherwise protect the environment. The
regulations put Tyree or Tyree's predecessor companies at risk for becoming a
party to legal proceedings involving customers or other interested parties. The
issues involved in such proceedings generally relate to alleged responsibility
arising under federal or state laws to remediate contamination at properties
owned or operated either by current or former customers or by other parties who
allege damages. To limit its exposure to such proceedings, Tyree purchases, for
itself and Tyree's predecessor companies, site pollution, pollution and
27
professional liability insurance. Aggregate limits, per occurrence limits and
deductibles for this policy are $10,000,000, $5,000,000 and $50,000,
respectively.
Tyree and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, involved in ordinary and
routine litigation. Management presently believes that the ultimate outcome of
these proceedings individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations or
cash flows. Nevertheless, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and
unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary
damages and, in such event, could result in a material adverse impact on the
Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the period
in which the ruling occurs.
IMSC/OTHER ASSETS
Capstone Business Credit, LLC, a related party, is the plaintiff (on behalf of
Amincor Other Assets, Inc.) in a foreclosure action against Imperia Family
Realty, LLC ("IFR"). IFR is related to the former owners of Masonry's business.
In November 2011 a Judgment of Foreclosure was granted by the court ordering
that the IMSC property in Pelham Manor, New York (the "Property") be sold at
public auction. As of the date of this filing, the deed to the Property has been
recorded in the name of Amincor Other Assets, Inc. with the office of the
Westchester County Clerk.
A former principal of Imperia Bros., Inc. (a predecessor company of Masonry)
filed a notice of appeal dated November 14, 2011 with the court contesting the
Judgment of Foreclosure. On June 19, 2013, the parties in the above action
agreed to a settlement in principle, which resolves the remaining causes of
action and dismisses the third party complaint and the declaratory judgment
complaint, with prejudice
14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On October 18, 2013, BPI executed a Co-Packer Agreement with a leading producer
and marketer of packaged bakery foods headquartered in the Southeastern United
States. BPI will prepare, manufacture, process and package certain baked goods
products and BPI management anticipates a material increase in sales due to the
execution of this Co-Packer Agreement.
The Company has evaluated all other subsequent events up to the report date and
there were no significant subsequent events requiring disclosure.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS ("MD&A")
AMINCOR (CONSOLIDATED BASIS)
GOING CONCERN / LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, cash flows used in operating
activities was $2,542,896. This was principally due to a net loss from
continuing operations of $7,240,789 which was partially offset by an increase in
accrued expenses and other current liabilities of approximately $2.0 million,
non-cash depreciation expenses of approximately $1.3 million and a reduction in
accounts receivable of approximately $1.3 million. The net loss from continuing
operations is discussed in greater detail in the results from operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 section of this MD&A.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, cash flows used in investing
activities from continuing operations of $152,116 were primarily due to
purchases of additional equipment at Baker's Pride, Inc.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, cash flows provided by financing
activities from continuing operations of $1,854,468 was primarily due to
proceeds received on loans from related parties.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, total cash flows provided by
discontinued operations was $617,333. Cash provided by discontinued operations
was primarily related to the Amincor Other Assets' sale of its 360,000 square
foot facility in Allentown, Pennsylvania on April 30, 2013.
The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared
on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and
settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
However, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated condensed financial
statements, we recorded a net loss from continuing operations of $7,240,789 and
$18,106,990 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
We had a working capital deficit of $26,396,941 and an accumulated deficit of
$91,137,518 as of September 30, 2013. The results of the Company's cash flows
from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 have
been adversely impacted by the loss of Baker's Pride's most significant customer
Aldi, Inc. The Company's primary focus is to achieve profitable operations and
positive cash flow of its operations of its long established niche businesses -
Tyree and Baker's Pride.
Our auditors, Rosen Seymour Shapss Martin & Company LLP, have stated in their
audit report dated December 31, 2012 that there is substantial doubt on the
Company's ability to continue operations as a going concern due to our recurring
net losses from operations, and the Company has a significant working capital
deficit. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our
capability to raise additional funds through debt and equity financing, and to
29
achieve profitable operations. Our plans to continue as a going concern and to
achieve a profitable level of operations are as follows:
With respect to BPI, management has successfully negotiated a contract for
co-packing frozen donut products to one of the world's largest family owned food
companies which is a global supplier to the food service and in store bakery
retail industries. Management believes that this contract will pave the way for
additional contracts from other significant food companies in addition to
increased business from the newly acquired customer. In addition, BPI has been
approved by this aforementioned customer for equipment financing which will
position BPI to better serve the retail market. It is anticipated that this new
equipment will come online during the second quarter of 2014. Management
anticipates additional sales as a result of this new equipment from this
customer in addition to creating opportunities involving future potential
customers. BPI has entered the frozen segment and is also positioning itself to
enter back into the fresh bread manufacturing industry by placing significant
and competitive bids to strategic players within the fresh bread markets.
Management believes that by January 2014, its facilities will be operationally
capable of supporting themselves on internally generated cash flows. Management
has extended its bridge loan financing with its lender, Central State Bank to
February 1, 2014, which will allow BPI to extend its interest only financing on
the new donut equipment until such time that BPI is able through its cash flow
to make principal payments. On October 18, 2013, BPI executed a Co-Packer
Agreement with a leading producer and marketer of packaged bakery foods
headquartered in the Southeastern United States. BPI will prepare, manufacture,
process and package certain baked goods products and BPI management anticipates
a material increase in sales due to the execution of this Co-Packer Agreement.
With respect to Tyree, management is projecting an increase in its environmental
business through the end of 2013 and 2014. In accordance with these projections,
in September 2013, Tyree realigned its management team to achieve these goals.
Management believes the realignment of operational and sales management will
provide the roadmap to diversifying the focus of Tyree's environmental business
unit's strengths to additional industry segments while still serving their
current customers in the retail and wholesale petroleum sector. While focusing
on growing markets, Tyree is also seeking strategic alliances with environmental
consulting engineers who design and consult with national clients on effective
remediation programs, but lack the "boots on the ground" to implement, monitor
and maintain remediation systems and programs that Tyree is able to provide.
Tyree will also focus its sales and marketing efforts and bid on federal and
various state wide environmental remediation work as a prime contractor through
its current operational area. Additional staff resources have been allocated to
support this effort and ensure that bids are won across all aspects of Tyree's
target markets at gross margin requirements set by Management.
Management has analyzed the construction and maintenance business units for
profitable operations and market penetration. With respect to the maintenance
business unit, analysis has shown that Tyree's primary customer is selling and
leasing its gas stations, which has prompted Tyree to scale back its maintenance
business unit. With respect to the construction business unit, management has
30
deemed that construction is an integral part of the environmental remediation
process and as such Tyree will continue to bid on opportunities provided
required gross margin targets are met. Management believes that by changing the
direction of Tyree away from maintenance and general contracting, it will return
to profitability and substantially grow through increased sales and market
penetration through its environmental business unit.
Tyree's management is working to secure additional available capital resources
and turnaround Tyree's operations to generate operating income. Management
believes that Tyree is currently holding greater level of inventory than is
necessary for operations and has developed a plan to exchange a substantial
portion of this excess inventory to one of its primary suppliers in exchange for
satisfaction of accounts payable owed to this supplier. As of September 30,
2013, Tyree has a working capital deficit of approximately $22.2 million
exclusive of amounts owed to Amincor and recorded a net loss of approximately
$2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Tyree has entered
into settlement agreements and continues to negotiate with creditors to pay off
its outstanding debt obligations. However, without additional capital resources,
Tyree may not be able to continue to operate and may be forced to curtail its
business, liquidate assets and/file for bankruptcy protection. In any such case,
its business, operating results or financial condition would be materially
adversely affected.
With respect to AWWT, management has recently signed a licensing agreement with
a Denver based water technology company which will allow AWWT to sell waste
water treatment equipment to large municipal, industrial, agricultural and
commercial generators of waste water. Management is currently in discussion with
multiple customers in this market and believes that there is a significant
opportunity for consistent and reliable cash flows from placing systems in use
with these customers. AWWT is undergoing testing of water samples for use with
its technology. The sales cycle for its waste water treatment systems is
typically nine to twelve months. AWWT is actively engaged in the sale of its
technology to high volume impacted water users. Its fixed station water
processing facility in Farmingdale, NY is operating profitably and has
successfully contracted with the major impacted water haulers located in Long
Island, NY. AWWT's fixed station treatment facility offers these waste haulers
substantial savings when compared to its competitors in the neighboring NYC
boroughs.
With respect to Amincor Other Assets, there are significant assets currently
residing on Amincor Other Asset's balance sheet related to the discontinued
operations of Imperia and Tulare. Management intends to liquidate these assets
as soon as they are able to do so profitably. Management believes there is more
value in these assets than is currently shown on our balance sheet and an
attempt to liquidate these assets quickly will decrease their value to, or
below, what is currently showing on our balance sheet. In the meantime,
management is utilizing these assets to the best of their ability by offsetting
the costs associated with owning those assets by generating income from renting
these properties out when possible.
31
With respect to Amincor, Inc.'s corporate offices, management continues to seek
new financing from a financial institution in order to provide more working
capital to its subsidiary companies. Management has had discussions with many
financial institutions of different types and has narrowed down eligible
candidates to only a few. Management expects that by executing on the above
plans for the subsidiary companies and by acquiring new financing for working
capital for its subsidiary companies, Baker's Pride, Tyree and AWWT will become
profitable and be able to generate enough internal cash flow to operate
independently of one another.
CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
ESI
The Volkl license agreement was terminated in September 2011 and concurrently
the Strategic Alliance Agreement with Samsung America CT, Inc. ("Samsung") was
also terminated. Volkl is seeking a $400,000 royalty payment. ESI has initiated
counterclaims against the various parties, including but not limited to Samsung,
seeking damages for, including but not limited to infringement, improper use of
company assets and breach of fiduciary duty. The counterclaim against Samsung
has been settled and ESI has moved to have Samsung dismissed Samsung from any
further claims.
Volkl was successful in obtaining a judgment against ESI and a confirmation of
the Arbitration is presently pending in Federal Court. Management believes that
this matter and the Frost matter below will eventually be settled out of court
for less than the royalty and damages amounts sought.
On September 28, 2012, Sean Frost ("Frost"), the former President of ESI, filed
a Complaint to Compel Arbitration Regarding Breach of Employment Contract and
Related Breach of Labor Code Claims and For an Award of Compensatory Damages in
the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego against Epic
Sports International Inc., Amincor, Inc. and Joseph Ingrassia (collectively, the
"Defendants"). The first cause of action is a petition to compel arbitration for
unpaid compensation and benefits pursuant to Frost's employment agreement. The
second cause of action is for breach of contract for alleged non-payment of
expenses, vacation days and assumption of certain debts. The third cause of
action is for violation of the California Labor Code for failure to pay wages
due and owing. Frost is seeking among other things, damages, attorneys' fees and
costs and expenses.
As of the date this filing, the case continues to be litigated and management
will update accordingly.
TYREE
One of Tyree's largest customers, Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc. ("GPMI") filed
for bankruptcy protection on December 5, 2011. As of that date, Tyree had a
pre-petition receivable of $1,515,401.27. As an unsecured creditor, Tyree may
never collect or may only collect a small percentage of this pre-petition amount
32
owed. Additionally, Tyree has a post-petition administrative claim for
$593,709.20. A Proof of Claim was filed with the Bankruptcy court on Tuesday,
April 10, 2012. On August 27, 2012, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York confirmed GPMI's Chapter 11 plan of liquidation
offered by its unsecured creditors committee, overruling the remaining
objections. The plan provides for all of the debtors' property to be liquidated
over time and for the proceeds to be allocated to creditors. Any assets not
distributed by the effective date will be held by a liquidating trust and
administered by a liquidation trustee, who will be responsible for liquidating
assets, resolving disputed claims, making distributions, pursuing reserved
causes of action and winding up GPMI's affairs. As an unsecured creditor, Tyree
may never collect or may only collect a small percentage of the pre and
post-petition amounts owed. To date, Tyree has not be notified of any intent by
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to claw
back any amounts paid to Tyree pre-petition.
Tyree management has negotiated settlements with Local Union 99, Local Union 138
and Local Union 355. Tyree management continues to negotiate with Local Union 1,
Local Union 25, and Local Union 200 over unpaid benefits that are due and owing
to each of the respective unions. As of September 30, 2013, Tyree had
approximately $1.2 million in unpaid benefits. Tyree management does not dispute
that benefits are due and owing to the respective unions, however, settlement
and payment plan discussions are ongoing. The Local Union 1 and Local Union 200
have each filed suit in the United States District Court Eastern District of New
York to enforce their rights as to the unpaid benefits due and owing from Tyree,
and as guarantor of certain amounts due and owing, Amincor, Inc. is also a named
party in these lawsuits. Local Union 200 has also filed a claim with the
National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") alleging that Tyree Service Corp
violated the National Labor Relations Act. By a letter dated May 31, 2013, the
NLRB dismissed all charges against Tyree Service Corp. due to insufficient
evidence to establish a violation. Local 200 intends to appeal the NLRB
decision.
A variety of unsecured vendors have filed suit for non-payment of outstanding
invoices, as noted in Tyree's financial statements under accounts payable and
notes payable. Each of these actions is handled on a case by case basis, with
settlement and payment plan.
BPI
In connection with Baker's Pride's USDA loan application, BPI had Environmental
Site Assessments done on the property where one of its bakeries is located as
required by BPI's prospective lender. A Phase II Environmental Site Assessment
was completed on October 31, 2011 and was submitted to the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources ("IDNR") for their review. IDNR requested that a Tier Two Site
Cleanup Report ("Tier Two") be issued and completed in order to better
understand what environmental hazards exist on the property. The Tier Two was
completed on February 3, 2012 and was submitted to IDNR for further review.
Management's latest correspondence with IDNR, dated March 21, 2012, required
revisions to the Tier Two to be in compliance with IDNR's regulations.
Management has retained the necessary environmental consultants to become
33
compliant with IDNR's request. Due to the nature of the liability, the
remediation work is 100% eligible for refund from INDR's Innocent Landowner
Fund. As such there is no direct liability related to the cleanup of the hazard.
TULARE
The City of Lindsay, California has invoiced Tulare Frozen Foods, LCC ("TFF")
$533,571 for outstanding delinquent amounts. A significant portion of the
outstanding delinquent amounts are penalties, interest and fees that have
accrued. A settlement proposal, whereby the City of Lindsay would retain TFF's
$206,666 deposit as settlement and release in full of all outstanding
obligations was sent to the City of Lindsay for review on March 29, 2012. As of
the date of this filing, no settlement has been reached.

ADVANCED WASTE & WATER TECHNOLOGY, INC.
SEASONALITY
AWWT's sales are typically higher during the second and fourth quarters of its
fiscal year as they correlate to peak wet and rainy periods of the season. The
third quarter of the year is usually affected by hot and dry weather conditions
during which time periods of rain are infrequent. The first quarter of AWWT's
fiscal year is affected by frigid temperatures combined with the possibility of
extreme weather which tends to discourage projects from being scheduled during
the winter months.

BAKER'S PRIDE, INC.
SEASONALITY
Seasonality influenced the operations of the South Street Bakery facility as
cookie sales are typically higher during the winter holiday season when compared
to the summer season. Operations at the Jefferson Street facility are not
influenced by seasonality. However, when significant donut production commences
at the Mt. Pleasant Street facility, it will greatly be affected by seasonality.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, none of the operations of
Baker's Pride were influenced by seasonality.
LOSS OF MATERIAL CUSTOMER
On July 16, 2012, BPI was notified that Aldi, BPI's primary customer would be
terminating its contract with the Company as of the end of October 2012 due to
BPI's inability to meet certain pricing, cost and product offering needs. As
such, BPI performed an impairment study and concluded that BPI's goodwill and
intangible assets were fully impaired as of September 30, 2012.
Net revenues generated from Aldi comprised 0.0% and 93.6% of net revenues for
the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. All Aldi
revenues generated in the first nine months of 2012 were from BPI's Jefferson
Street facility. The balance of net revenues generated during the nine months
ended September 30, 2012 was related to BPI's South Street facility. On November
30, 2012, BPI terminated the equipment and facility lease which allowed for
production at the South Street facility. It is management's intention to enter
into a co-packing agreement for all of the products formerly produced internally
with other bakeries in order to continue to provide the same product offerings
without operating the facility. Management has moved all equipment owned but
formerly residing at the South Street facility to the Mt. Pleasant Street
facility. Management intends to return to its business plan of operating the Mt.
Pleasant Street facility thereby reducing fixed overhead and variable costs by
using cross trained personnel and providing its customer base the opportunity to
purchase one, two or all three of its product types in less than trailer load
quantities but obtain cost effective logistics through a combined load of all
products offered by BPI.
Effective November 2, 2012, BPI has stopped significant production at the
Jefferson Street facility. As such, there were layoffs of production personnel
and wage reductions of remaining personnel in order to minimize losses until
production resumes at the Jefferson Street facility. Production is currently
underway with low volume regional companies with plans to increase product
offerings and grow the business. Discussions are active for co-packing
arrangements to enable BPI to broaden its offerings for new business
opportunities. Discussions continue with major branded food products companies
with BPI operating as the producer; however, as of the time of filing BPI has
not yet secured a significant contract with a new bread customer but has secured
a significant contract with a donut customer.

the Jefferson Street facility not operating at 100% capacity during the nine
months ended September 30, 2013 due to the loss of Aldi as compared to operating
at 100% capacity during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Certain fixed

TYREE HOLDINGS, INC.
SEASONALITY AND BUSINESS CONDITIONS
Historically, Tyree's revenues are lower during the first quarter of the year as
Tyree's customers complete their planning for the remainder of the year.
Approximately 26% of Tyree's revenues are earned from customer capital
expenditures. Customers' capital expenditures are cyclical and tend to mirror
the condition of the economy and the weather patterns. During normal conditions,
Tyree will need to draw from its borrowing base early in the year and then pay
down the borrowing base as the year progresses when it generates positive cash
flows. The highest revenue generation occurs from late in the second quarter
through the beginning of the fourth quarter of the year.
On December 5, 2011 Tyree's largest customer, Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc.
("GPMI") filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States
Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York. This bankruptcy filing
had a significant and lasting impact on Tyree's operations and financial
activities. Immediately following the bankruptcy filing of GPMI, all ongoing
work with GPMI was significantly reduced and plans for Tyree's restructuring
began which included a reduction of approximately 15% in workforce during the
44
first quarter of 2012. In June 2012 Green Valley Oil, LLC ("GVO") a subtenant of
GPMI and customer of Tyree went out of business. Tyree made additional expense
reductions and reduced its workforce by approximately 35.0% by the end of 2012.
Tyree maintains a $15,000,000 revolving credit agreement with its Parent Amincor
which expires on January 1, 2016. Borrowings under this agreement are limited to
70% of eligible accounts receivable and the lesser of 50% of eligible inventory
or $4,000,000. The balances outstanding under this agreement were $4,790,635 and
$4,819,829 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Borrowings under this agreement are collateralized by a first lien security
interest in all tangible and intangible assets owned by Tyree. Availability of
funding from Amincor is dependent on Amincor's liquidity. The annual interest
rate charged on this loan was approximately 5% for the nine months ending
September 30, 2013 and 2012. Starting in January 2013, Tyree began factoring
certain accounts receivables with a related party.
Going forward, Tyree's growth will be difficult to attain until either (i) new
working capital is available through profitable operations or (ii) new equity
invested into Tyree to facilitate organic and acquisition based growth.
LIQUIDITY
Tyree incurred net losses of $2,324,702 and $3,185,952 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Tyree's largest customer filing for
bankruptcy in December 2011 produced large write-offs of receivables and
reductions in revenues which resulted in corporate cash demands well in excess
of receipts from revenues, thus stressing the available funding on the existing
credit facility. In the fourth quarter of 2011, management responded with a plan
to term out all current vendors. Much was accomplished during 2011 with $1.9
million of accounts payable converted to long and short term debt, at September
30, 2013 this amounted to $2.5 million. Most of the remaining vendors have
agreed to term notes early in 2012, thus addressing the cash shortfall produced
in 2011, while leaving some availability on Tyree's revolving credit line. In
reaction to the GPMI Bankruptcy filing, management reduced employee headcount by
an additional 100 full time employees, rescheduled accounts payable, reduced
management's salaries and reduced its rent commitments. Tyree has been
successful in securing several new customers but has not yet been able to
replace all of the lost business from GPMI and GVO. Management continues to
analyze Tyree's overhead expenses and will continue to reduce its work force as
necessary until it is able to replace the business lost as a result of the GPMI
bankruptcy filing and the Green Valley business cessation.

NET REVENUES
Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $19,469,716 as
compared to $28,294,571 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease
of $8,824,854 or approximately 31.2%. The decrease in revenues in 2013 can
primarily be attributable to service revenues lost when GPMI and GVO went out of
business have never been completely replaced. In addition, in November 2012,
Tyree did not renew its fixed-fee maintenance contract with Cumberland Farms as
it yielded a negative gross profit in 2012. After GPMI filed for bankruptcy
protection, many of the Getty Gas stations became the responsibility of Getty
Realty which is a Real Estate Investment Trust. Getty Realty was required to
divest itself of these gas stations and has been doing so during the nine months
ended September 30, 2013. Tyree's Maintenance business unit was doing work for
Getty Realty from the beginning of 2013 until June 2013 when a great number of
gas stations were turned over to independent dealers. The Getty Realty
maintenance business has been steadily declining since June 2013. Revenues by
operating divisions for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were
as follows:

$15,418,229 or approximately 79.2% of net revenues as compared to $22,228,393,
or 78.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The gross profit
percentage decreased by 0.6% period to period.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled
$5,544,080, or approximately 28.5% of net revenues compared to $8,922,361, or
approximately 31.5% of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30,
2012, a decrease in operating expenses of $3,378,280 or approximately 37.9%. The
decrease in operating expenses in 2013 was primarily attributed to $1.3 million
in payroll reductions, a $947,000 reduction in non-cash amortization expense, a
$160,000 reduction in auto expenses (including repairs and maintenance) and a
$139,000 reduction in rent expenses alongside smaller expense reductions across
all of Tyree's expense categories.

LOSS FROM OPERATIONS
Loss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled
$1,492,593, or approximately 7.7% of net revenues as compared to $2,856,183, or
approximately 10.1% of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30,
2012, a decrease in loss from operations of $1,363,590 or approximately 47.7%.
The decrease in loss from operations was primarily due to the decrease in
operating expenses as noted above.
OTHER EXPENSES (INCOME)
Other expenses (income) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled
$832,109, or approximately 4.3% of net revenues as compared to other expenses
(income) of $329,769, or approximately 1.2% of net revenues for the nine months
ended September 30, 2012, an increase in other expenses of $502,341 or
approximately 152.3%. The increase in other expenses (income) during the nine
months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to an increase in interest
expense due to a Tyree factoring certain accounts receivables to improve cash
flow.
NET LOSS
Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $2,324,702 as
compared to $3,185,952 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a decrease
of $861,249 or approximately 27.0%. The decrease in net loss is primarily
related to the decrease in operating expenses as noted above.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 AND 2012
NET REVENUES
Net revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $5,900,236 as
compared to $10,169,084 for the three months ended September 30, 2012, a
decrease of $4,268,848 or approximately 42.0%. The decrease in revenues in 2013
can primarily be attributable to service revenues lost when GPMI and GVO went
out of business have never been completely replaced. In addition, in November
2012, Tyree did not renew its fixed-fee maintenance contract with Cumberland
Farms as it yielded a negative gross profit in 2012. After GPMI filed for
bankruptcy protection, many of the Getty Gas stations became the responsibility
Getty Realty which is a Real Estate Investment Trust. Getty Realty was required
to divest itself of these gas stations and has been doing so during the nine
months ended September 30, 2013. Tyree's Maintenance business unit was doing
work for Getty Realty from the beginning of 2013 until June 2013 when a great
number of gas stations were turned over to independent dealers. The Getty Realty
maintenance business has been steadily declining since June 2013. Revenues by
operating divisions for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were
as follows:
47
Revenues 2013 2012
-------- ------------ ------------
Service and Construction $ 2,528,095 $ 6,490,654
Environmental, Compliance and Engineering 3,372,141 3,443,412

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Amincor has not entered into, and does not expect to enter into, financial
instruments for trading or hedging purposes.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures" as such term is defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating
our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that
disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated,
can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of
disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing
disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to
apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible
disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and
procedures 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.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial
Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such
evaluation, and as discussed in greater detail below, our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the
period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not
effective:
* to give reasonable assurance that the information required to be
disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's
rules and forms, and
* to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports
that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and
our CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
49
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal
control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control system was designed to provide
reasonable assurance to our management and the Board of Directors regarding the
preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Our
internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures
that:
* pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail
accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our
assets,
* provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts
and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorization
of management and directors, and
* provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection
of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that
could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting
may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Our management has not assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of September 30, 2013. Management understands that in
making this assessment, it should use the criteria set forth by the Committee of
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in its Internal
Control-Integrated Framework. Although an assessment using those criteria has
not been performed, our management believes that the Company's internal control
over financial reporting was not effective at September 30, 2013.
As of the date of this report, we have been unable to complete a full assessment
and adequately test our internal control over financial reporting and
accordingly lack the documented evidence that we believe is necessary to support
an assessment that our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
Without such testing, we cannot conclude whether there are any material
weaknesses, nor can we appropriately remediate any such weaknesses that might
have been detected.
Therefore, there is a possibility that misstatements which could be material to
our annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be
prevented or detected.
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting
during this fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
50
We will complete our assessment of internal control over financial reporting and
take the remediation steps detailed below to enhance our internal control over
financial reporting and reduce control deficiencies. With regards to the
improvement of our internal controls over financial reporting, we believe the
following steps will assist in reducing our deficiencies, but will not
completely eliminate them. We will continue to work on the elimination of
control weaknesses and deficiencies noted.
Management of the Company takes very seriously the strength and reliability of
the internal control environment for the Company. Going forward, the Company
intends to implement new internal policies and undertake additional steps
necessary to improve the control environment including, but not limited to:
* Implementing an internal disclosure policy to govern the disclosure of
material, non-public information in a manner designed to provide full
and fair disclosure of information about the Company. This disclosure
policy is intended to ensure that management and employees of the
Company and its subsidiaries comply with applicable laws including the
SEC's Fair Disclosure Rules (Regulation FD) governing disclosure of
material, non-public information to the public.
* Strengthening the effectiveness of corporate governance through the
implementation of standard policies and procedures and training
employees.
* Establishing an audit committee of the Board.
* Assigning additional members of the management team to assist in
preparing and reviewing the ongoing financial reporting process.
Management is committed to and acknowledges its responsibility for internal
controls over financial reporting and seeks to continually improve these
controls. In order to eventually achieve compliance with Section 404 of the
Sarbanes Oxley Act, we intend to perform the system and process evaluation
needed to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act as soon as
reasonably possible.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In early 2011, counsel for the former President of Imperia Masonry Supply Corp.
indicated intent to file suit against Imperia Masonry Supply Corp. To date, no
litigation regarding this matter has been filed. The Company will disclose any
litigation which may result in the future.
Capstone Business Credit, LLC, a related party, is the plaintiff (on behalf of
Amincor Other Assets, Inc.) in a foreclosure action against Imperia Family
Realty, LLC ("IFR"). IFR is related to the former owners of Masonry's business.
In November 2011 a Judgment of Foreclosure was granted by the court ordering
51
that the IMSC property in Pelham Manor, New York (the "Property") be sold at
public auction. As of the date of this filing, the deed to the Property has been
recorded in the name of Amincor Other Assets, Inc. with the office of the
Westchester County Clerk.
A former principal of Imperia Bros., Inc. (a predecessor company of Masonry)
filed a notice of appeal dated November 14, 2011 with the court contesting the
Judgment of Foreclosure. On June 19, 2013, the parties in the above action
agreed to a settlement in principle, which resolves the remaining causes of
action and dismisses the third party complaint and the declaratory judgment
complaint, with prejudice.
Additionally, on December 5, 2011, Tyree's largest customer, Getty Petroleum
Marketing, Inc. ("GPMI") filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. As of that
date, Tyree has a pre-petition receivable of $1,515,401.27. As an unsecured
creditor, Tyree may never collect or may only collect a small percentage of this
pre-petition amount owed. Additionally, Tyree has a post-petition administrative
claim for $593,709.20. Tyree may never collect or may only collect a small
percentage of this post-petition amount owed. A Proof of Claim was filed with
the Bankruptcy court on Tuesday, April 10, 2012.
On August 27, 2012, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of New York confirmed GPMI's Chapter 11 plan of liquidation offered by its
unsecured creditors committee, overruling the remaining objections. The plan
provides for all of the debtors' property to be liquidated over time and for the
proceeds to be allocated to creditors. Any assets not distributed by the
effective date will be held by a liquidating trust and administered by a
liquidation trustee, who will be responsible for liquidating assets, resolving
disputed claims, making distributions, pursuing reserved causes of action and
winding up GPMI's affairs. As an unsecured creditor, Tyree may never collect or
may only collect a small percentage of the pre-petition amounts owed.
On July 6, 2012, SFR Holdings, Ltd., Eden Rock Finance Master Limited, Eden Rock
Asset Based Lending Master Ltd., Eden Rock Unleveraged Finance Master Limited,
SHK Asset Backed Finance Limited, Cannonball Plus Fund Limited and Cannonball
Stability Fund, LP (collectively, the "Plaintiffs") commenced an action in the
Supreme Court of the State of New York County of New York against Amincor, Inc.,
Amincor Other Assets, Inc., their officers and directors, John R. Rice III,
Joseph F. Ingrassia and Robert L. Olson and various other entities affiliated
with or controlled directly or indirectly by John R. Rice III and Joseph F.
Ingrassia (collectively the "Defendants"). Plaintiffs allege that Defendants
engaged in wrongful acts, including fraudulent inducement, fraud, breach of
fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, fraudulent conveyance and breach of contract.
Plaintiffs are seeking compensatory damages in an amount in excess of $150,000
to be determined at trial. Defendants believe that this lawsuit has no merit or
basis and intend to vigorously defend it.
On September 28, 2012, Sean Frost ("Frost") filed a Complaint to Compel
Arbitration Regarding Breach of Employment Contract and Related Breach of Labor
Code Claims and For an Award of Compensatory Damages in the Superior Court of
52
the State of California, County of San Diego against Epic Sports International
Inc., Amincor, Inc. and Joseph Ingrassia (collectively, the "Defendants"). The
first cause of action is a petition to compel arbitration for unpaid
compensation and benefits pursuant to Frost's employment agreement. The second
cause of action is for breach of contract for alleged non-payment of expenses,
vacation days and assumption of certain debts. The third cause of action is for
violation of the California Labor Code for failure to pay wages due and owing.
Frost is seeking among other things, damages, attorneys' fees and costs and
expenses. Defendants believe that this lawsuit has no merit or basis and intend
to vigorously defend it.
As of the date of this filing, Tyree management has negotiated settlements with
Local Union 99, Local Union 138 and Local Union 355. Tyree management continues
to negotiate with Local Union 1, Local Union 25, and Local Union 200 over unpaid
benefits that are due and owing to each of the respective unions. As of
September 30, 2013, Tyree had approximately $1.2 million in unpaid benefits.
Tyree management does not dispute that benefits are due and owing to the
respective unions, however, settlement and payment plan discussions are ongoing.
Local Union 200 has filed suit in the United States District Court Eastern
District of New York to enforce their rights as to the unpaid benefits due and
owing from Tyree, and as guarantor of certain amounts due and owing, Amincor,
Inc. is also a named party in these lawsuits. However, Amincor, Inc. is expected
to be released from these lawsuits as it is neither a party to the collective
bargaining agreements nor should have any successor liability pursuant to the
collective bargaining agreements.
Local Union 200 filed a claim with the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB")
alleging that Tyree Service Corp violated the National Labor Relations Act. By
letter dated May 31, 2013, the NLRB dismissed all charges against Tyree Service
Corp. due to insufficient evidence to establish a violation. Local 200 appealed
the NLRB decision but as of the date of this filing no filing decision has been
issued.
Other than noted above, Registrant is not presently a party to any litigation,
claim or assessment against it, and is unaware of any unasserted claim or
assessment which will have a material effect on the financial position or future
operations of Registrant. No director, executive officer or affiliate of the
Registrant or owner of record or beneficially of more than five percent of the
Registrant's common stock is a party adverse to Registrant or has a material
interest adverse to Registrant in any proceeding.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO AMINCOR'S SECURITIES
OUR STATUS AS A PUBLIC REPORTING COMPANY MAY BE A COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE.
We are and will continue to be subject to the disclosure and reporting
requirements of applicable U.S. securities laws. Many of our principal
competitors are not subject to these disclosure and reporting requirements. As a
53
result, we may be required to disclose certain information and expend funds on
disclosure and financial and other controls that may put us at a competitive
disadvantage to our principal competitors.
OUTSIDE SHAREHOLDERS WILL HAVE LITTLE INPUT REGARDING OUR MANAGEMENT DECISIONS
DUE TO THE LARGE OWNERSHIP POSITION HELD BY OUR EXISTING MANAGEMENT AND THUS IT
WOULD BE DIFFICULT FOR OUTSIDE SHAREHOLDERS TO MAKE CHANGES IN OUR OPERATIONS OR
MANAGEMENT. THEREFORE, OUTSIDE SHAREHOLDERS WILL BE SUBJECT TO DECISIONS MADE BY
MANAGEMENT WHO ARE THE MAJORITY SHAREHOLDERS, INCLUDING THE ELECTION OF
DIRECTORS.
Our officers and directors directly own 6,610,934 shares of the total of
7,913,023 issued and outstanding Class A voting shares of our common stock (or
approximately 86% of our outstanding voting stock) and are in a position to
continue to control us. Such control enables our officers and directors to
control all important decisions relating to the direction and operations of the
Company without the input of our investors. As a result, outside investors will
not be able to effect a change in our Board of Directors, business or
management.
OUR CLASS A COMMON AND CLASS B COMMON SHARES ARE NOW QUOTED ON THE OVER THE
COUNTER BULLETIN BOARD UNDER THE SYMBOLS "AMNC" AND "AMNCB", RESPECTIVELY.
While the shares are now quoted on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, until
there is an established trading market, holders of our common stock may find it
difficult to sell their stock or to obtain accurate quotations for the price of
the common stock. Even if a market for our common stock does develop, our stock
price may be volatile, and such market may not be sustained.
BROKER-DEALERS MAY BE DISCOURAGED FROM EFFECTING TRANSACTIONS IN OUR SHARES
BECAUSE THEY MAY BE CONSIDERED PENNY STOCKS AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO THE PENNY
STOCK RULES.
Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended (the "Exchange Act"), impose sales practice and disclosure
requirements on broker-dealers who make a market in "penny stocks." Penny stocks
generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than
securities registered on some national securities exchanges). On the
Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, our stock may be considered a "penny stock."
Purchases and sales of our shares are generally facilitated by broker-dealers
who act as market makers for our shares.
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling penny stock to anyone
other than an established customer or "accredited investor" (as defined by the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended) must make a special suitability
determination for the purchaser and must receive the purchaser's written consent
to the transaction prior to sale, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is
otherwise exempt.
In addition, the penny stock regulations require the broker-dealer to deliver,
prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared
by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the
transaction is otherwise exempt. A broker-dealer is also required to disclose
54
commissions payable to the broker-dealer and the registered representative and
current quotations for the securities. Finally, a broker-dealer is required to
send monthly statements disclosing recent price information with respect to the
penny stock held in a customer's account and information with respect to the
limited market in penny stocks. The additional sales practice and disclosure
requirements imposed upon broker-dealers selling penny stock may discourage such
broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our shares, which could severely
limit the market liquidity of the shares and impede the sale of our shares in
the secondary market.
INVESTORS THAT NEED TO RELY ON DIVIDEND INCOME OR LIQUIDITY SHOULD NOT PURCHASE
SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK.
We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock for the
foreseeable future. Investors who need to rely on dividend income should not
invest in our common stock, as any income would only come from any rise in the
market price of our common stock, which is uncertain and unpredictable.
Investors that require liquidity should also not invest in our common stock.
There is no established trading market, and should one develop, it will likely
be volatile and such market may not be sustained.
HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK MAY INCUR IMMEDIATE DILUTION AND MAY EXPERIENCE
FURTHER DILUTION BECAUSE OF OUR ABILITY TO ISSUE ADDITIONAL SHARES OF COMMON
STOCK AND AS A RESULT OF THE POSSIBLE EXERCISE OF HOLDERS OF OUR PREFERRED STOCK
TO CONVERT TO COMMON STOCK AFTER JANUARY 1, 2011.
We are authorized to issue up to 22,000,000 shares of Class A voting common
stock and 40,000,000 shares or Class B non-voting common stock and 3,000,000
shares of Preferred Stock. At present, there are 7,913,023 Class A common shares
and 21,286,344 Class B common shares and 1,752,823 shares of Preferred Stock
issued and outstanding. Our Board of Directors has the authority to cause us to
issue additional shares of Class A common stock without the consent of any of
our stockholders. Consequently, our stockholders may experience more dilution in
their percentage of ownership in the future.
Moreover, the conversion of our Preferred Shares after January 1, 2011 on the
basis of ten Class B Common Shares for each Preferred Share would result in
dilution to our current holders of common stock and once our common stock is
trading could cause a significant decline in the market price for our common
stock.
As of the date of this filing, there were 55 Class A stockholders of record,
owning all of the 7,913,023 issued and outstanding shares of our Class A common
stock; there were 88 institutional shareholders of record owning all of the
21,286,344 issued and outstanding shares of our Class B non-voting common stock
and there were 36 institutional shareholders of record owning all of the
1,752,823 issued and outstanding shares of our Preferred Stock.
55
FINANCIAL INDUSTRY REGULATORY AUTHORITY SALES PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS MAY ALSO
LIMIT A STOCKHOLDER'S ABILITY TO BUY AND SELL OUR STOCK.
In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, has adopted rules that require that in
recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable
grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior
to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional
customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information
about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and
other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that
there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be
suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more
difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common
stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an
adverse effect on the market for our shares.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE PERIODIC REPORTING REQUIREMENTS OF THE EXCHANGE ACT THAT
WILL REQUIRE US TO INCUR AUDIT FEES AND LEGAL FEES IN CONNECTION WITH THE
PREPARATION OF SUCH REPORTS. THESE ADDITIONAL COSTS COULD REDUCE OR ELIMINATE
OUR ABILITY TO EARN A PROFIT.
We are required to file periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In order to comply
with these requirements, our independent registered public accounting firm will
have to review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our
financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel will have
to review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by
these professionals for such services cannot be accurately predicted at this
time because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage
in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will
have a major effect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and
attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to
our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our
overhead requirements and earn a profit. We may be exposed to potential risks
resulting from new requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of
2002. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our
business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence
in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common
stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.
POTENTIAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST
The directors and officers of the Company have no obligation to devote full time
to the business of the Company. They are required to devote only such time and
attention to the affairs of the Company, as they may deem appropriate in their
sole discretion. It is anticipated that they will each spend approximately 70%
of their time on their duties related to Amincor but they are under no
obligation to continue to do so, nor are they restricted by an agreement not to
compete with the Company and they may engage in other activities or ventures
which may result in various conflicts of interest with the Company.
56
GENERAL RISK FACTORS RELATING TO AMINCOR'S SUBSIDIARIES
AMINCOR NEEDS ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN THE FUTURE TO FUND THE OPERATIONS AND GROWTH
OF OUR SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES AND THIS NEW CAPITAL MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE. IN THE
EVENT SUCH ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IS NOT AVAILABLE, AMINCOR MAY NEED TO FILE FOR
BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION.
Amincor's Management is working to secure additional available capital resources
and turnaround the subsidiary companies to generate operating income. Amincor
may raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financings.
However, there can be no assurance that such resources will be sufficient to
fund the operations of Amincor or the long-term growth of the subsidiaries
businesses. Amincor cannot assure investors that any additional financing will
be available on favorable terms, or at all. Without additional capital
resources, Amincor may not be able to continue to operate, take advantage of
unanticipated opportunities, develop new products or otherwise respond to
competitive pressures, and be forced to curtail its business, liquidate assets
and/or file for bankruptcy protection. In any such case, its business, operating
results or financial condition would be materially adversely affected.
Amincor's independent registered public accounting firm has expressed
substantial doubt about Amincor's ability to continue as a going concern in the
audit report on the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2012 (See Item 7 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" as filed with the Company's Form
10-K on April 17, 2013 with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission)
OUR ABILITY TO RETAIN KEY PERSONNEL IN EACH OF OPERATING SUBSIDIARIES WILL BE AN
IMPORTANT FACTOR IN THE SUCCESS OF OUR BUSINESS AND A FAILURE TO RETAIN KEY
PERSONNEL MAY RESULT IN OUR INABILITY TO MANAGE AND IMPLEMENT OUR BUSINESS PLAN.
We are highly dependent upon the management personnel of our subsidiary
companies because of their experience in their respective industries. The
competition for qualified personnel in the market in which our subsidiaries
operate is intense and the loss of the services of one or more of these
individuals in any of these business segments may impair management's ability to
operate our subsidiaries. We have not purchased key man life insurance on any of
these individuals, which insurance would provide us with insurance proceeds in
the event of their death. Without key man life insurance, we may not have the
financial resources to develop or maintain an affiliated business until we could
replace such individual and replace any business lost by the departure of that
person.
OUR SUBSIDIARIES FACE COMPETITION FROM LARGER AND BETTER-ESTABLISHED COMPANIES.
The market for products in our subsidiary businesses is highly competitive. Many
of their competitors may have longer operating histories, greater financial,
57
technical and marketing resources, and enjoy existing name recognition and
customer bases. Competitors may be able to respond more quickly to technological
change, competitive pressures, or changes in consumer demand. As a result of
their advantages, competitors may be able to limit or curtail our ability to
compete successfully. These competitive pressures could materially adversely
affect our subsidiary businesses', financial condition, and results of
operations.
GLOBAL ECONOMIC CONDITIONS MAY MATERIALLY AND ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS,
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Unfavorable economic conditions, including the impact of recessions in the
United States and throughout the world, may negatively affect our business and
financial results. These economic conditions could negatively impact (i)
consumer demand for our products, (ii) the mix of our products' sales, (iii) our
ability to collect accounts receivable on a timely basis, (iv) the ability of
suppliers to provide the materials required in our operations and (v) our
ability to obtain financing or to otherwise access the capital markets. The
strength of the U.S. dollar versus other world currencies could result in
increased competition from imported products and decreased sales to our
international customers. A prolonged recession could result in decreased
revenue, margins and earnings. Additionally, the economic situation could have
an impact on our lenders or customers, causing them to fail to meet their
obligations to us. The occurrence of any of these risks could materially and
adversely affect our subsidiary businesses' financial condition and results of
operations.
SOME OF OUR OPERATING SUBSIDIARIES MAY BE SUBJECT TO ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND
REGULATIONS THAT MAY RESULT IN ITS INCURRING UNANTICIPATED LIABILITIES, WHICH
COULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR OPERATING PERFORMANCE.
Federal, state and local authorities subject some of our facilities and
operations to requirements relating to environmental protection. These
requirements can be expected to change and expand in the future, and may impose
significant capital and operating costs.
Environmental laws and regulations govern, among other things, the discharge of
substances into the air, water and land, the handling, storage, use and disposal
of hazardous materials and wastes and the cleanup of properties affected by
pollutants. If any of our subsidiary companies violate environmental laws or
regulations, they may be required to implement corrective actions and could be
subject to civil or criminal fines or penalties. There can be no assurance that
we will not have to make significant capital expenditures in the future in order
to remain in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Contamination and
exposure to hazardous substances can also result in claims for damages,
including personal injury, property damage, and natural resources damage claims.
Future events, such as changes in existing laws or policies or their
enforcement, or the discovery of currently unknown contamination, may give rise
to remediation liabilities or other claims that may be material.
58
Environmental requirements may become stricter or be interpreted and applied
more strictly in the future. These future changes or interpretations, or the
indemnification for such adverse environmental conditions, could result in
environmental compliance or remediation costs not anticipated by us, which could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results
of operations.
COMMODITY PRICE RISK.
Some of our subsidiaries purchase certain products which are affected by
commodity prices and are, therefore, subject to price volatility caused by
weather, market conditions and other factors which are not considered
predictable or within our control. Although many of the products purchased are
subject to changes in commodity prices, certain purchasing contracts or pricing
arrangements have been negotiated in advance to minimize price volatility. Where
possible, we use these types of purchasing techniques to control costs. In many
cases, we believe we will be able to address commodity cost increases that are
significant and appear to be long-term in nature by adjusting our pricing.
However, long-term increases in commodity prices may result in lower operating
margins at some of subsidiaries.
CHANGES OF PRICES FOR PRODUCTS.
While the prices of a Subsidiary's products are projected to be in line with
those from market competitors, there can be no assurance that they will not
decrease in the future. Competition may cause a subsidiary to lower prices in
the future. Moreover, it is difficult to raise prices even if internal costs of
production increase.
RISK FACTORS AFFECTING BAKER'S PRIDE, INC.
ON OCTOBER 31, 2012, BAKER'S PRIDE, INC. ("BPI") LOST ITS PRIMARY CUSTOMER. THE
LOSS OF THIS CUSTOMER ADVERSELY AFFECTED OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, FINANCIAL
CONDITION, AND PROFITABILITY.
Aldi, Inc. accounted for 89.5%, 92.1% and 100.0% of revenue for the years ended
December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. BPI was advised verbally on July
12, 2012 and by written notice on July 16, 2012 that effective October 31, 2012,
Aldi, Inc., BPI's most significant customer, would be terminating BPI as a
supplier to Aldi, Inc. due to BPI's inability to meet certain pricing, cost and
product offering needs. The loss of Aldi, Inc. has had a materially adverse
effect on BPI's results of operations and financial condition in 2012 and in
2013 up to the date of this report.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL.
BPI's success depends to an extent upon the performance of its management team,
which includes Robert Brookhart, who is responsible for all operations and sales
59
of the business. The loss or unavailability of Mr. Brookhart could adversely
affect its business and prospects and operating results and/or financial
condition.
CHANGES OF PRICES FOR PRODUCTS.
While the prices of BPI's products are projected to be in line with those from
market competitors, there can be no assurance that they will not decrease in the
future. Competition may cause BPI to lower prices in the future. Moreover, it is
difficult to raise prices even if internal costs of production increase.
INCREASED COMMODITY PRICES AND AVAILABILITY MAY IMPACT PROFITABILITY.
BPI is dependent upon eggs, oils, and flour for ingredients. Many commodity
prices have experienced recent volatility. Increases in commodity prices and
availability could have an adverse impact on BPI's profitability.
CHANGE IN CONSUMER PREFERENCES MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT BPI'S FINANCIAL AND
OPERATIONAL RESULTS.
BPI's success is contingent upon its ability to forecast the tastes and
preferences of consumers and offer products that appeal to their preferences.
Consumer preference changes due to taste, nutritional content or other factors,
and BPI's failure to anticipate, identify or react to these changes could result
in reduced demand for its products, which could adversely affect its financial
and operational results. The current consumer focus on wellness may affect
demand for its products. BPI continues to explore the development of new
products that appeal to consumer preference trends while maintaining the product
quality standards.
PRODUCT RECALL OR SAFETY CONCERNS MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL
RESULTS.
BPI may have to recall certain products should they be mislabeled, contaminated
or damaged or if there is a perceived safety issue. A perceived safety issue,
product recall or an adverse result in any related litigation could have a
material adverse effect on BPI's operations, financial condition and financial
results.
LOSS OF FACILITIES COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT BPI'S FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL
RESULTS.
BPI currently has two production facilities: the Jefferson Street Bakery and the
Mt. Pleasant Street Bakery. The loss of either of these facilities could have an
adverse impact on BPI's operations, financial condition and results of
operations.
INCREASES IN LOGISTICS AND OTHER TRANSPORTATION-RELATED COSTS COULD MATERIALLY
ADVERSELY IMPACT BPI'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
BPI's ability to competitively serve its customers depends on the availability
of reliable and low-cost transportation. BPI uses trucks to bring its products
60
to market. Disruption to the timely supply of these services or increases in the
cost of these services for any reason, including availability or cost of fuel,
regulations affecting the industry, or labor shortages in the transportation
industry, could have an adverse effect on BPI's ability to serve its customer,
and could materially and adversely affect BPI's business, financial condition
and results of operations.
RISK FACTORS AFFECTING ENVIRONMENTAL HOLDINGS CORP.
EQS' RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE DUE TO CERTAIN REGULATORY, MARKETING AND COMPETITIVE
FACTORS OVER WHICH EQS HAS LITTLE OR NO CONTROL.
The factors listed below are outside of EQS's control and may cause EQS'
revenues and result of operations to fluctuate significantly, including, but not
limited to: (i) actions taken by regulatory bodies relating to the verification
and certification of EQS products/services; (ii) the timing and size of customer
purchases; and (iii) customer and/or distributors concerns about the stability
of EQS' business which could cause them to seek alternatives to EQS
products/services.
EQS FACES CONSTANT CHANGES IN GOVERNMENTAL STANDARDS BY WHICH ITS
PRODUCTS/SERVICES ARE EVALUATED.
EQS believes that due to the constant focus on the environmental standards
throughout the world, EQS may be required in the future to adhere to new and
more stringent government regulations. Governmental agencies constantly seek to
improve standards required for verification and/or certification of products
and/or services. In the event EQS' products/services fail to meet these ever
changing standards, some or all of its products/services may become obsolete or
de-listed from government verification having a direct negative effect on EQS'
ability to generate revenue and remain profitable.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL HOLDING LICENSES, PERMITS AND CERTIFICATIONS.
EQS' success depends to an extent upon the performance of its employees, some of
whom hold certain licenses, permits and certifications, including, but not
limited to Ms. Patricia Werner - Els. The loss or inability to replace these
employees holding the licenses permits or certifications necessary to conduct
EQS' business, could adversely affect its business and prospects and operating
results and/or financial condition.
AWWT'S RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE DUE TO CERTAIN REGULATORY, MARKETING AND
COMPETITIVE FACTORS OVER WHICH AWWT HAS LITTLE OR NO CONTROL.
The factors listed below are outside of AWWT's control and may cause AWWT's
revenues and result of operations to fluctuate significantly, including, but not
limited to: (i) actions taken by regulatory bodies relating to the verification
61
and certification of AWWT products/services; (ii) the timing and size of
customer purchases; and (iii) customer and/or distributors concerns about the
stability of AWWT's business which could cause them to seek alternatives to AWWT
products/services.
AWWT FACES CONSTANT CHANGES IN GOVERNMENTAL STANDARDS BY WHICH ITS
PRODUCTS/SERVICES ARE EVALUATED.
AWWT believes that due to the constant focus on the environmental standards
throughout the world, EQS may be required in the future to adhere to new and
more stringent government regulations. Governmental agencies constantly seek to
improve standards required for verification and/or certification of products
and/or services. In the event AWWT's products/services fail to meet these ever
changing standards, some or all of its products/services may become obsolete or
de-listed from government verification having a direct negative effect on AWWT's
ability to generate revenue and remain profitable.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL HOLDING LICENSES, PERMITS AND CERTIFICATIONS.
AWWT's success depends to an extent upon the performance of its employees, some
of whom hold certain licenses, permits and certifications, including, but not
limited to Ms. Patricia Werner - Els. The loss or inability to replace these
employees holding the licenses, permits or certifications necessary to conduct
AWWT's business, could adversely affect its business and prospects and operating
results and/or financial condition. Additionally, AWWT holds a license for
patented electrocoagulation technologies, which is critical to its business
operations. The loss of this license could adversely affect its business and
prospects and operating results and/or financial condition
RISK FACTORS AFFECTING TYREE HOLDINGS CORP.
TYREE NEEDS ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO FUND THE OPERATIONS AND GROWTH OF THE COMPANY
AND THIS NEW CAPITAL MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE. IN THE EVENT SUCH ADDITIONAL CAPITAL
IS NOT AVAILABLE, TYREE MAY NEED TO FILE FOR BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION.
Tyree management is working to secure additional available capital resources and
turnaround Tyree's operations to generate operating income. However, without
additional capital resources, Tyree may not be able to continue to operate and
may be forced to curtail its business, liquidate assets and/or file for
bankruptcy protection. In any such case, its business, operating results or
financial condition would be materially adversely affected.
FAILURE TO COMPLETE A PROJECT TIMELY OR FAILURE TO MEET A REQUIRED PERFORMANCE
STANDARD ON A PROJECT COULD CAUSE TYREE TO INCUR A LOSS WHICH MAY AFFECT OVERALL
PROFITABILITY.
Completion dates and performance standards may be important requirements to a
client on a given project. If Tyree is unable to complete a project within
specified deadlines or fails to meet performance criteria set forth by a client,
62
additional costs may be incurred by Tyree or the client may hold Tyree
responsible for costs they incur to rectify the problem. The uncertainty
involved in the timing of certain projects could also negatively affect the
Tyree's staff utilization, causing a drop in efficiency and reduced profits.
SUBCONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE AND PRICING COULD EXPOSE TYREE TO LOSS OF REPUTATION
AND ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL OR PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS THAT COULD RESULT IN REDUCED
PROFITS OR LOSSES.
Tyree often hires subcontractors for its projects. The success of these projects
depends, in varying degrees, on the satisfactory performance of its
subcontractors and Tyree's ability to successfully manage subcontractor costs
and pass them through to its customers. If Tyree's subcontractors do not meet
their obligations or Tyree is unable to manage or pass through costs, it may be
unable to profitably perform and deliver contracted services. Under these
circumstances, Tyree may be required to make additional investments and expend
additional resources to ensure the adequate performance and delivery of the
contracted services. In addition, the inability of its subcontractors to
adequately perform or Tyree's inability to manage subcontractor costs on certain
projects could hurt Tyree's competitive reputation and ability to obtain future
projects.
TYREE'S SERVICES COULD EXPOSE IT TO SIGNIFICANT LIABILITY NOT COVERED BY
INSURANCE.
The services provided by Tyree expose it to significant risks of professional
and other liabilities. In addition, Tyree sometimes assumes liability by
contract under indemnification provisions. Tyree is unable to predict the total
amount of such potential liabilities. Tyree has obtained insurance to cover
potential risks and liabilities. However, insurance may be inadequate or
unavailable in the future to protect Tyree for such liabilities and risks.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND POLLUTION RISKS COULD POTENTIALLY IMPACT TYREE'S FINANCIAL
RESULTS.
Tyree is exposed to certain environmental and pollution risks due to the nature
of some of the contract work it performs. Costs associated with pollution
cleanup efforts and environmental regulatory compliance have not yet had a
material adverse impact on its capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive
position. However, the occurrence of a future environmental or pollution event
could potentially have an adverse impact.
TYREE INCURS SUBSTANTIAL COSTS TO COMPLY WITH ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS AND RELATED LITIGATION ARISING FROM AN
ACTUAL OR PERCEIVED BREACH OF SUCH REQUIREMENTS COULD ALSO SUBJECT TYREE TO
FINES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS AND IMPOSE LIMITS ON TYREE'S ABILITY TO EXPAND.
Tyree is subject to potential liability and restrictions under environmental
laws, including those relating to treatment, storage and disposal of gasoline,
discharges to air and water, and the remediation of contaminated soil, surface
water and groundwater. If Tyree does not comply with the requirements that apply
63
to a particular site or if it operates without necessary approvals or permits,
Tyree could be subject to civil, and possibly criminal, fines and penalties, and
may be required to spend substantial capital to bring an operation into
compliance or to temporarily or permanently discontinue activities, and/or take
corrective actions. Those costs or actions could be significant and impact
Tyree's results of operations, cash flows and available capital.
In addition to the costs of complying with environmental laws and regulations,
Tyree may incur costs defending against environmental litigation brought by
governmental agencies and private parties. Tyree may be in the future be a
defendant in lawsuits brought by parties alleging environmental damage, personal
injury, and/or property damage, which may result in Tyree incurring significant
liabilities.
ADVERSE WEATHER LESSENS DEMAND FOR TYREE'S SERVICES.
Demand for Tyree's services, decreases substantially during periods of cold
weather, when it snows or when heavy or sustained rains fall. Consequently,
demand for Tyree's services are significantly lower during the winter. High
levels of rainfall can also adversely impact operations during these periods as
well. Such adverse weather conditions can materially and adversely affect
Tyree's results of operations and profitability if they occur with unusual
intensity, during abnormal periods, or last longer than usual.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL HOLDING LICENSES, PERMITS AND CERTIFICATIONS.
Tyree's success depends to an extent upon the performance of its managers, some
of whom hold certain licenses, permits and certifications. The loss or inability
to replace these managers holding the licenses, permits or certifications
necessary to conduct Tyree's business, could adversely affect its business and
prospects and operating results and/or financial condition.
TYREE IS EXPOSED TO THE CREDIT RISK, INCLUDING BANKRUPTCY, OF ITS CUSTOMERS IN
THE ORDINARY COURSE OF BUSINESS.
Tyree has various credit terms with virtually all of its customers, and its
customers have varying degrees of creditworthiness. Although Tyree evaluates the
creditworthiness of each of its customers, Tyree may not always be able to fully
anticipate or detect deterioration in their creditworthiness and overall
financial condition, which could expose Tyree to an increased risk of nonpayment
or other default under its contracts and other arrangements with them. In the
event that a material customer or customers default on their payment obligations
to Tyree or file for bankruptcy protection, this could materially adversely
affect Tyree's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
On December 5, 2011, Tyree's largest customer, Getty Petroleum Marketing, Inc.
("GPMI") filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. As of that date, Tyree
64
has a pre-petition receivable of $1,515,401.27. As an unsecured creditor, Tyree
may never collect or may only collect a small percentage of this pre-petition
amount owed. Additionally, Tyree has a post-petition administrative claim for
$593,709.20. Tyree may never collect or may only collect a small percentage of
this post-petition amount owed. A Proof of Claim was filed with the Bankruptcy
court on Tuesday, April 10, 2012. GPMI's bankruptcy could materially adversely
affect Tyree's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
On August 27, 2012, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District
of New York confirmed GPMI's Chapter 11 plan of liquidation offered by its
unsecured creditors committee, overruling the remaining objections. The plan
provides for all of the debtors' property to be liquidated over time and for the
proceeds to be allocated to creditors. Any assets not distributed by the
effective date will be held by a liquidating trust and administered by a
liquidation trustee, who will be responsible for liquidating assets, resolving
disputed claims, making distributions, pursuing reserved causes of action and
winding up GPMI's affairs. As an unsecured creditor, Tyree may never collect or
may only collect a small percentage of the pre-petition amounts owed.
