(1) Organization and Business Description

 

AmpliTech Group Inc. (“AmpliTech” or “the Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 30, 2010. On August 13, 2012, the Company acquired AmpliTech Inc., by issuing 833,750 shares of the Company’s common stock to the shareholders of AmpliTech Inc. in exchange for 100% of the outstanding shares of AmpliTech Inc. (“the Share Exchange”). After the Share Exchange, the selling shareholders owned 60,000 shares of the outstanding 889,250 shares of Company common stock, resulting in a change in control. Accordingly, the transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition in which AmpliTech, Inc. was deemed to be the accounting acquirer, and the operations of the Company were consolidated for accounting purposes. The capital balances have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse acquisition.

 

AmpliTech designs, engineers and assembles microwave component based low noise amplifiers (“LNA”) that meet individual customer specifications. Application of the Company’s proprietary technology results in maximum frequency gain with minimal background noise distortion as required by each customer. The Company has both domestic and international customers in such industries as aerospace, governmental, defense and commercial satellite.

 

On September 12, 2019, AmpliTech Group Inc. acquired the assets of Specialty Microwave Corporation (SMW), a privately held company based in Ronkonkoma, NY. The purchase included all inventory, orders, customers, property and equipment, and all intellectual property. The assets also included all eight team members of SMW.

 

Specialty designs and manufactures passive microwave components and related subsystems that meet individual customer specifications for both domestic and international customers for use in satellite communication ground networks.

 

On February 17, 2021, Amplitech Group Inc., common stock and warrants under the symbols “AMPG” and “AMPGW”, respectively, commenced trading on NASDAQ. A reverse split of the outstanding common stock at a 1-for-20 ratio became effective February 17, 2021 as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time. In connection with the public offering, 1,371,428 units at an offering price of $7.00 per unit were sold. Each unit issued in the offering consisted of one share of common stock and one warrant.

The COVID-19 Pandemic

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant worldwide disruption throughout the course of 2020 and into 2021 and resulted in the imposition of various public and private sector measures to try to contain the virus, on a local, state, national and international level, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place/stay-at-home and social distancing orders, and shutdowns. These measures have temporarily impacted our workforce and operations and some of the operations of our customers, and vendors, suppliers, and partners. The ultimate impact and efficacy of government measures and potential future measures is currently unknown.

 

There is uncertainty regarding the business impacts from such measures and potential future measures. While we have been able to continue our operations through a combination of work-from-home and social distancing policies implemented to protect employees, these measures have resulted in reduced workforce availability. We resumed operations on May 5, 2020, with the CDC safeguard guidelines in place. Difficulties in communicating with our customers’ employees and delivery delays due to COVID-19 may impact our ability to meet customer demand, and thus decrease revenues into 2021 and negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.
