BULOVA TECHNOLOGIES GROUP,INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2015 AND 2014
(Unaudited)

 

1.         Description of business:

 

Bulova Technologies Group, Inc. ("BLVT" or the "Company") was originally incorporated in Wyoming in 1979 as “Tyrex Oil Company”. During 2007, the Company divested itself of all assets and previous operations. During 2008, the Company filed for domestication to the State of Florida, and changed its name to Bulova Technologies Group, Inc. and changed its fiscal year from June 30 to September 30. On January 1, 2009 the Company acquired the stock of 3Si Holdings, Inc. (“3Si”) a private company that was under common control and began operations in Florida.

 

The Company also leases, on a month to month basis, an office in Frankfurt Germany to facilitate its European program.

 

Commencing in July of 2013, Bulova Technologies Machinery LLC leased approximately 6,000 square feet of office, showroom and warehouse space in Sanford, Florida, and approximately 10,000 square feet of office, showroom and warehouse space in Branchburg, New Jersey.  As of August 27, 2014, BTM terminated these leases and relocated all of its operations to a new facility which includes 29,000 square feet of office, showroom and warehouse space in Clearwater, Florida to facilitate commercial sales of its industrial machine tool business.

 

At September 30, 2012, our former government manufacturing business was located on 261 acres owned by Ordnance in Mayo, Florida, where Ordnance operated a load, assembly, and pack facility specializing in fuzes, safe and arming devices and explosive simulators.  This property was sold in October 2012 when Ordnance sold substantially all of its assets and discontinued operations.

 

The Company now has three major areas of focus which it conducts through its subsidiaries. Historically, the Company was dependent upon the Department of Defense as a customer, supplying the DoD with weaponry, ammunition and systems integration. For the reasons hereinafter described, the Company is engaged in a transition from DoD military product contracting. More recently, the Company has evolved to become a seller of high precision industrial machine tools, primarily through its distribution network. Most recently, the Company has begun the incubation and marketing of innovative technology products for which it believes it can lend value because of its highly recognizable name brand and extensive marketing experience.

 

2.         Principles of consolidation and basis of presentation:

 

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2014 has been derived from audited financial statements.

 

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the Company’s latest Form 10-K.

 

On January 1, 2009, the Company acquired the stock of 3Si Holdings, Inc. (“3Si”) a privately held Florida corporation controlled by the then majority stockholder of the Company in exchange for 40,000,000 shares of its common stock. The assets and operations of 3Si have been accounted for in three operating subsidiaries, BT Manufacturing Company LLC, Bulova Technologies Ordnance Systems LLC, and Bulova Technologies (Europe) LLC (formerly Bulova Technologies Combat Systems LLC). In July of 2013, the Company formed Bulova Technologies Machinery LLC.

 

Bulova Technologies Machinery LLC - Formed in July of 2013, Bulova Technologies Machinery LLC represents the Company's entree into the machine tool business, and imports industrial machine tools and related equipment from recognized international sources and establishes a Distributor/Dealer Network throughout the United States and Canada.

 

Bulova Technologies (Europe) LLC – co-located at the Company’s headquarters in Tampa, Florida, this wholly-owned subsidiary (“Europe”), employing three people, was engaged in several lines of related business, including the Mortar Exchange Program, the offsets program, the administration of the blanket purchase agreement awarded to Ordnance by the Government, and the brokerage of commercial, small caliber ammunition. Pursuit of the Mortar Exchange Program, an offering made by a joint venture together with the TriGas Oil and Trade S.A. (a Swiss company) to NATO countries whereby the joint venture would sell new mortar rounds to such countries accepting, in partial payment, outdated mortar rounds for refurbishment, was halted during the course of the year so that Europe could concentrate on its commercial ammunition business. Similarly, pursuit of the offsets program, whereby the same joint venture partners offered to facilitate commercial entities in the U.S. with offsets (counter-purchases from friendly countries demanded by such countries in exchange for their purchases of U.S. made goods) was halted in 2013 for the same reason. Europe continues to administer the Ordnance BPA and broker the sale of Eastern European commercial small caliber ammunition to large U.S. customers on a wholesale basis and to small retail customers in the U.S.

 

 

Bulova Technologies Compliance and Security LLC

 

Newly created, and co-located at the Company’s headquarters in Clearwater, Florida, this company is a joint venture established to market the Enterprise Content Management Library ("ECM Library"©) and the companion K-3 Data Encryption software to government agencies, banks, law firms and mid to large size businesses. The ECM Library© software system provides for advanced search capability, high demand security, protection notification alerts, and back-up repository maintenance. The software provides unique layers of secured data. These layers actively monitor access to repository data, download and transmission of confidential files, insertion of external memory devices, on-line searches that have been performed, web-sites visited, and e-mails sent or received using the repository content. The Company anticipates operations to commence in mid-2015.

 

Bulova Technologies Advanced Products LLC

 

Newly created, and co-located at the Company’s headquarters in Clearwater, Florida, this subsidiary (“BTAP”) actively seeks technologically innovative products in industries in which the Bulova Technologies name and management team can bring value. Currently, BTAP is in the process of identifying several products in the healthcare and software areas which it may elect to pursue. The Company anticipates operations to commence in mid-2015.

 

Bulova Technologies Ordnance Systems LLC. - Prior to discontinuance, its operations were located on 261 acres in Mayo, Florida. Ordnance was a load, assembly, and pack facility specializing in fuzes, safe and arming devices and explosive simulators. Bulova Technologies Ordnance Systems LLC is registered with the United States Department of State Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). It produced a variety of pyrotechnic devices, ammunition and other energetic materials for the U. S. Government and other allied governments throughout the world. In October 2012, Ordnance sold substantially all of its assets to an unrelated party. The sale included both the right to perform Ordnance’s then-current contracts with the Department of Defense. As a result, the only remaining work with the DoD performed by Ordnance was the nominal performance of the contracts which were transferred (until a novation of the transferred contracts was to take place) and a remaining blanket purchase agreement (BPA) with the DoD whereby the DoD may order non-standard (e.g. Eastern European) weapons for shipment to friendly forces abroad. The BPA, which is now administered by representatives of Bulova Technologies (Europe) LLC, remains in place but Ordnance has received no orders thereunder since 2011, nor has it sought any new contracts from the DoD since 2012. Ordnance is engaged currently in litigation with the DoD concerning the propriety of a termination of a similar BPA which took place in July, 2010.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 15, 2015 to assess the need for potential recognition or disclosure in this report. Based upon this evaluation, management determined that all subsequent events that require recognition in the financial statements have been included.

 

Business Segments

 

Commencing with the Company’s formation of Bulova Technologies Machinery LLC, the Company now operates in two business segments, government contracting and commercial sales.  As the only income from government contracting for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was included in discontinued operations, the Company has determined not to present financial information by segment.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts of cash, receivables and current liabilities approximated fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instruments. Debt obligations were carried at cost, which approximated fair value due to the prevailing market rate for similar instruments.

 

Fair Value Measurement

 

All financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities were recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements. This value was evaluated on a recurring basis (at least annually). Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States define fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on a measurement date. The accounting principles also established a fair value hierarchy which required an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Three levels of inputs were used to measure fair value.

 

Level 1: Quotes market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that were not corroborated by market data.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash deposits in major financial institutions in the United States. At times deposits within a bank may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Generally, these deposits are redeemed upon demand and, therefore, are considered by management to bear minimal risk.

 

Accounts receivable

 

Accounts receivable represent amounts due from customers in the ordinary course of business from sales activities in each of the Company’s business segments. The Company considers accounts more than 90 days old to be past due. The Company uses the allowance method for recognizing bad debts. When an account is deemed uncollectible, it is written off against the allowance. The Company generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. At March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, the Company has provided an allowance for doubtful accounts of $200,000. 

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market. Market was generally considered to be net realizable value. Inventory consisted of items held for resale and materials and supplies for sale and service.

 

The breakdown of inventory at March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014 is as follows:

 

   

March 31,

   

September 30,

 
   

2015

    11,055       12,060  
                 

Total inventory of continuing operations

  $ 362,515     $ 363,520  

 

Fixed Assets

 

Fixed assets stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed by applying principally the straight-line method to the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Useful lives range from 5 to 10 years for machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the improvements. When property or equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the net book value of the asset is removed from the Company’s balance sheet and the net gain or loss is included in the determination of operating income. Property, plant and equipment acquired as part of a business acquisition are valued at fair value.

 

 

Fixed assets are comprised of the following at March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014

 

   

March 31,

   

September 30,

    (49,123 )     (37,780 )
                 

Net property, plant and equipment

  $ 81,320     $ 65,302  

 

Depreciation expense for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $4,289 and $5,953 respectively.

 

Loan Costs

 

The Company account for costs incurred relative to the acquisition of new debt in other assets, and amortizes these costs over the life of the debt. The unamortized balance of loan costs at March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014 were $1,147,221 and $0, respectively. 

 

Amortization of loan costs for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $32,778 and $94,670 respectively.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company evaluates the carrying value of its long-lived assets at least annually. Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted future cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. If such assets are impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

In accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements-Discontinued Operations (“ASC 205-20”), we reported the results of Bulova Technologies Ordnance Systems LLC our government contracting segment as a discontinued operation. The application of ASC 205-20 is discussed in Note 4 “Discontinued Operations”

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Sales revenue is generally recognized upon the shipment of product to customers or the acceptance by customers of the product. Allowances for sales returns, rebates and discounts are recorded as a component of net sales in the period the allowances were recognized. A significant portion of the Company’s revenue have been generated under various fixed and variable price contracts as follows:

 

Revenues on fixed-price type contracts are recognized using the Percentage-Of-Completion (POC) method of accounting as specified in government contract accounting standards and the particular contract. Revenues earned on fixed-price production contracts under which units are produced and delivered in a continuous or sequential process are recognized as units are delivered based on their contractual selling prices (the “Units-of-Delivery” basis of determination). Sales and profits on each fixed-price production contract under which units are not produced in a continuous or sequential process are recorded based on the ratio of actual cumulative costs incurred to the total estimated costs at completion of the contract, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative sales recognized in prior periods (the “Cost-to-Cost” basis of determination). Under both types of basis for determining revenue earned, a single estimated total profit margin is used to recognize profit for each contract over its entire period of performance, which can exceed one year. The estimated total profit margin is evaluated on a periodic basis by management throughout the term of an individual contract to determine if the estimated total profit margin should be adjusted.

 

Cost of Revenues

 

The costs of revenues include direct materials and labor costs, and indirect labor associated with production and shipping costs.

 

 

Advertising Costs

 

The costs of advertising are expensed as incurred and are included in the Company’s operating expenses. The Company incurred advertising expenses of $5,048 for the six months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $0 for the six months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Shipping Costs

 

The Company includes shipping costs in cost of revenues.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income tax benefits or provisions are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the recorded book basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities for financial and income tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities were recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets were also recognized for operating losses that were available to offset future taxable income and tax credits that were available to offset future federal income taxes, less the effect of any allowances considered necessary. The Company follows the guidance provided by ASC48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, for reporting uncertain tax provisions.

 

Income (Loss) per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per share excludes the impact of common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per share utilizes the average market price per share when applying the treasury stock method in determining common stock equivalents. As of March 31, 2015 there were 129,342,933 common stock equivalents that were antidilutive and were not included in the calculation. 

 

Effect of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued. No new standards had any material effect on these financial statements. The accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to the date of these financial statements that were considered significant by management were evaluated for the potential effect on these consolidated financial statements. Management does not believe any of the subsequent pronouncements will have a material effect on these consolidated financial statements as presented and does not anticipate the need for any future restatement of these consolidated financial statements because of the retro-active application of any accounting pronouncements issued subsequent to March 31, 2015 through the date these financial statements were issued.

 

Going concern matters

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has sustained substantial losses, and has minimal assets. These factors, among others, indicate that the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

The Company’s existence is dependent upon management’s ability to develop profitable operations and resolve its liquidity problems. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern

 

3.        Discontinued Operations

 

In October of 2012, Bulova Technologies Ordnance Systems LLC sold substantially all of its assets to an unrelated party, and discontinued operations. As a result of the decision to sell these assets, the Company has identified the assets and liabilities of Ordnance as pertaining to discontinued operations at March 31, 2015 and , 2014 and has segregated its operating results and presented them separately as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

4.       Contract Dispute - Discontinued Operations

 

At March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has included in liabilities of discontinued operations the amount of $6,071,700 relative to a contract performance dispute of its wholly owned subsidiary, Bulova Technologies Ordnance Systems LLC, with the US Government. This amount represents deferred revenue arising from the percentage of completion accounting applied to a contract that was terminated prior to its completion. The Company has asserted various claims in this dispute and, consequently, is carrying this amount as long term pending resolution of the counter claims. There can be no assurance with respect to the outcome of this dispute.

6.        Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are the result of timing differences between book and tax basis of certain assets and liabilities, timing of income and expense recognition of certain items and net operating loss carry forwards. The Company evaluates temporary differences resulting from the different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes and records deferred tax assets and liabilities on the balance sheet using the tax rates expected when the temporary differences reverse.

 

On January 1 2009 the Company acquired the stock of 3SI Holdings in exchange for shares of the Company's common stock. For income tax purposes this transaction has been treated as a tax free reorganization under the provisions of Section 368A of the Internal Revenue Code. 3SI Holdings had various net operating loss carryovers. Because of the change in ownership of 3SI Holdings, the net operating loss carryovers will transfer to the Company. The transferred net operating losses are subject to an annual limitation under the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code to offset future taxable income of the Company. These net operating loss carry-overs are included in the deferred tax asset of the Company.

 

The Company has previously recognized an income tax benefit for its operating losses generated since inception through September 30 2014 based on uncertainties concerning its ability to generate taxable income in future periods. Based on current events management has re-assessed the valuation allowance and the recognition of the deferred tax assets attributable to the net operating losses and other assets. Based on the Company's history of losses and other negative evidence, the Company has determined that the valuation allowance should be increased accordingly to offset the entire deferred tax asset.

 

 

As of September 30, 2014 the Company had federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $18,260,000 and Florida net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $13,663,000. The federal net operating loss carry forwards will expire in 2020 through 2033 and state net operating loss carry forwards that will expire in 2028 through 2034.

 

The income tax rate computed using the federal statutory rates is reconciled to the reported effective income tax rate as follows:

Valuation Allowance

    -37.63 %     -37.63 %
                 

Effective Income Tax Rate

    0.00 %     0.00 %

 

The Company files income tax returns on a consolidated basis in the United States federal jurisdiction and the State of Florida. As of September 30, 2014, the tax returns for the Company for the years ending 2011 through 2013 remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and Florida Department of Revenue. The Company and its subsidiaries are not currently under examination for any period.

 

The Company has adopted a policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in its income tax provision. The Company has evaluated its unrecognized tax benefits and determined that due to the NOL carry forwards, that no accrual of interest and penalties is required in the current period.

 

7.        Commitments and Contingencies

 

From time to time the Company may be a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company.  Management believes that there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

U.S. Government agencies, including the Defense Contract Audit Agency and various agency Inspectors General routinely audit and investigate costs and performance on contracts, as well as accounting and general business practices of contractors Based on the results of such audits, the U.S. Government may adjust contract related costs and fees, including allocated indirect costs. None of the Company’s contracts are currently the subject of any government audits.

 

At March 31, 2015 the Company no longer operates corporate and administrative offices in a facility that was leased by Ordnance, (a discontinued operation), from a non-affiliate in Tampa, Florida, approximating 5,000 square feet.  The Tampa location was leased for a base monthly rental increased by a minimum of 2.5% each year through the expiration date of December 21, 2027. Management has determined not to accrue any additional rent pending a settlement. 

 

On August 27, 2014, Bulova Technologies Machinery LLC entered into a six year lease for a facility which includes 29,000 square feet of office, showroom and warehouse space in Clearwater, Florida for $13,500 per month, and relocated all of its operations to this facility. This facility is leased from an entity controlled by shareholders of the Company.

 

The Company also leased on a month to month basis, an office in Frankfurt, Germany to facilitate its European program.

 

Total rent expense for the six months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, was approximately $202,000 and $184,735 respectively.

 

The Company’s commitments for minimum lease payments, exclusive of any future settlement regarding the Ordnance lease, under these operating leases for the next five years and thereafter as of March 31, 2015 are as follows:

 

Period ended March 31,

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

 

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

  

Certain portions of this report, and particularly the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, contain forward-looking statements which represent the Company’s expectations or beliefs concerning future events. The Company cautions that these statements are further qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

 

1.        Overview:

 

From January 1, 2009, Bulova Technologies Group, Inc. operated in multiple business segments. Government Contracting was focused on the production and procurement of military articles for the US Government and other Allied Governments throughout the world, and was accounted for through two of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries, Bulova Technologies Ordnance Systems LLC, and Bulova Technologies (Europe) LLC. In October 2012, this segment was discontinued through the sale of substantially all of the assets of Bulova Technologies Ordnance Systems LLC, with any remaining assets and liabilities associated with that operation being segregated and reported as a discontinued operation. Contract Manufacturing included the production of cable assemblies and circuit boards accounted for through BT Manufacturing Company LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary that was discontinued and disposed of in March 2011. More recently, the Company engaged in Commercial Sales that have included the brokering of Eastern European small caliber ammunition to large U.S. customers on a wholesale basis and to small retail customers in the U.S. accounted for through Bulova Technologies (Europe) LLC, and the sale of high precision industrial machine tools through a distributor network accounted for through Bulova Technologies Machinery LLC.

 

The Company has begun to evaluate the incubation and marketing of innovative technology products for which it believes it can lend value because of its highly recognizable name brand and extensive marketing experience.

 

Application of critical accounting policies:

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of our Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based on the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and corresponding disclosures at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, we continue to evaluate our estimates which in large part are based on historical experience and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily available from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

2.        Results of operations:

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

The Company is reporting results of operations of Bulova Technologies Ordnance Systems LLC (BTOS) as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. 

 

In October 2012, Bulova Technologies Ordnance Systems LLC sold substantially all of its assets to an unrelated party. The purchaser performed certain contracts remaining in the name of Ordnance as a subcontractor for the balance of the year ended September 30, 2013 and for a portion of the year ended September 30, 2014. The effect was a very small gross profit as most of the contract revenues were passed through to the purchaser for fulfillment.

 

Ordnance did not have any revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $688,026 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. 

 

Ordnance did not incur any costs of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $685,986 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

  

 

Ordnance did not realize any gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $2,040 for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Operating expenses and interest for the discontinued operations of Ordnance for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $120,511 is an increase of $102,763 when compared to operating expenses and interest for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $17,748, and is primarily due to additional interest costs incurred in the restructuring of the terms of certain debts associated with the discontinued operations of Ordnance.

 

Other income for the discontinued operations of Ordnance for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $398,148 represents a negotiated gain on a settlement of debt. The Company settled principal and interest of $818,111 for a cash payment of $300,000 and the issuance of 2,000,000 warrants valued at $119,963. Ordnance did not have other income for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Continuing Operations

 

Revenue for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $486,286 is an increase of $226,492 when compared to the revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $259,794. This increase is a esult of increased other sales during the three months ended March 31, 2015by Bulova Technologies Machinery.

 

Cost of revenues for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $408,376 is a corresponding increase of $201,010 when compared to the cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $207,366.

 

Gross profit for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $77,910 is an increase of $25,482 when compared to the gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $52,428.

 

Selling and administrative expenses for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $879,926 is an increase of $170,832 when compared to selling and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $709,094.

 

Stock based compensation for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $1,431,499 is an increase of $1,371,499 when compared to stock based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2014 of $60,000. This increase is primarily due to the number of warrants issued during the quarter in facilitating the Company receiving a new $4,000,000 loan to finance operations.

 

Interest expense for continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $207,933 is an increase of $132,082 when compared to interest expense of $75,851 for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase in interest expense is a result of borrowing on unfavorable terms to facilitate operations prior to obtaining the Company’s new $4,000,000 loan.

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

Ordnance did not have any revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $1,413,546 for the six months ended March 31, 2014. 

 

Ordnance did not incur any costs of revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $1,403,971 for the six months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Ordnance did not realize any gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to $9,575 for the six months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Operating expenses and interest for the discontinued operations of Ordnance for the six months ended March 31, 2015 of $257,605 is an increase of $102,763 when compared to operating expenses and interest for the six months ended March 31, 2014 of $33,246, and is primarily due to additional interest costs incurred in the restructuring of the terms of certain debts associated with the discontinued operations of Ordnance.

 

Other income for the discontinued operations of Ordnance for the six months ended March 31, 2015 of $398,148 represents a negotiated gain on a settlement of debt. The Company settled principal and interest of $818,111 for a cash payment of $300,000 and the issuance of 2,000,000 warrants valued at $119,963. Ordnance had $5,000 in other income for the six months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Continuing Operations

 

Revenue for continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2015 of $961,192 is a decrease of $863,178 when compared to the revenue for the six months ended March 31, 2014 of $1,824,370.  This decrease is a combination of an increase of approximately $485,000 in sales of industrial equipment by Bulova Technologies Machinery and no ammunition sales for the six months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to approximately 1,350,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2014.

 

 

Cost of revenues for continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2015 of $810,808 is a corresponding decrease of $620,937 when compared to the cost of revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2014 of $1,431,745.

 

Gross profit for continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2015 of $150,384 is a decrease of $242,241 when compared to the gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2014 of $392,625.

 

Selling and administrative expenses for continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2015 of $1,716,752 is an increase of $256,006 when compared to selling and administrative expense for the six months ended March 31, 2014 of $1,460,746.

 

Stock based compensation for continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2015 of $1,431,499 is an increase of $1,348,999 when compared to stock based compensation for the six months ended March 31, 2014 of $82,500. This increase is primarily due to the number of warrants issued during the quarter in facilitating the Company receiving a new $4,000,000 loan to finance operations.

 

Interest expense for continuing operations for the six months ended March 31, 2015 of $313,053 is an increase of $184,503 when compared to interest expense of $128,550 for the six months ended March 31, 2014. This increase in interest expense is a result of borrowing on unfavorable terms to facilitate operations prior to obtaining the Company’s new $4,000,000 loan.

 

3.         Liquidity and capital resources:

 

As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s sources of liquidity consisted of new debt as well as new sales.

 

As of March 31, 2015, we had $721,697 in cash and cash equivalents.

 

Cash flows used in operating activities was $2,970,685 for the six months ended March 31, 2015. 

 

Cash flows used in investing activities was $28,888 for the six months ended March 31, 2015

 

Cash flows from financing activities were $3,711,748 for the six months ended March 31, 2015, and consisted primarily of new debt in the amount of $4,000,000.

 

The Company’s ability to cover its operating and capital expenses, and make required debt service payments will depend primarily on its ability to generate operating cash flows.

 

The Company‘s business may not generate cash flows at sufficient levels, and it is possible that currently anticipated contract awards may not be achieved. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our debt, we may be required to reduce costs and expenses, sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, refinance all or a portion of our existing debt as well as our operating needs, or obtain additional financing and we may not be able to do so on a timely basis, on satisfactory terms, or at all. Our ability to make scheduled principal payments or to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent, are subject to general conditions in or affecting the U.S. defense industry and to general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond our control.

 

While the Company believes that anticipated revenues resulting from additional contract awards and new commercial sales, accompanied by its efforts will be sufficient to bring profitability and a positive cash flow to the Company, it is uncertain that these results can be achieved. Accordingly, the Company will, in all likelihood have to raise additional capital to operate. There can be no assurance that such capital will be available when needed, or that it will be available on satisfactory terms.

 

There are no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and the Company’s principal officer.

 

Based upon that evaluation, the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at March 31, 2015 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 

 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

  

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time the Company may be a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company which could have a material effect on our future financial position or results of operations.

 

In July 2010, the U.S. Army terminated a contract to which Bulova Technologies Ordnance Systems LLC was a party. Concurrently, the Army demanded repayment of approximately $12,000,000 of payments provided previously to Ordnance under that contract. Ordnance appealed the termination on October 26, 2010. Ordnance challenged this decision before the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (“ASBCA”). In January 2014 a decision was rendered by the ASBCA finding that the contract was partially terminated correctly and partially terminated without justification. Based on this decision, which recognized both that the Army had improperly terminated a portion of the contract, converting that portion of the contract to a termination for convenience (which entitles Ordnance to payment of its termination costs by the Army) and implicitly that the Army had delayed unreasonably in supplying contractually-required documents to Ordnance. Ordnance submitted a termination for convenience claim in excess of $1,400,000 to the Army in April 2014 and a delay claim in excess of $3,200,000 in October 2014, the principle reason Ordnance has been maintained as a legal entity. The Army will likely pursue Ordnance for the balance (plus interest and penalties). The assets of Ordnance were sold at arms-length to an independent third party and virtually all of the proceeds distributed to secured and unsecured third party creditors. There can be no assurance that the Government will not seek to either reverse the sale of Ordnance’s assets or pursue Bulova Technologies Group as the parent corporation of Ordnance and, if such actions were successful, these actions could have a material adverse effect on Bulova Technologies Group.

 

In connection with the sale of substantially all of its assets to a third party in October 2012, Bulova Technologies Ordnance Systems LLC agreed to participate with the purchaser (the “Purchaser”) in the submission of a Novation Agreement to the U.S. Government in order to gain recognition by the U.S. Government of the transfer of certain Army and Navy contracts to the Purchaser. Bulova Technologies Ordnance Systems LLC completed its portion of the Novation Agreement in a timely way, but the Purchaser did not complete its portion of the Novation Agreement and submit it to the U.S. Government until April 2014. The U.S. Government refused to acknowledge the transfer of the three remaining, fixed-price uncompleted contracts in September 2014. Accordingly, while Ordnance has no facilities to perform these contracts, it remains liable for their performance and the Purchaser refused to perform without a novation of the contracts. In management’s opinion, these potential demands would not have any material adverse effect upon us because Ordnance, as a discontinued operation, has no assets to satisfy any such potential liabilities. However, there is no assurance that the Army or Navy will not pursue us as the parent Company of Ordnance, which actions, if successful, could have a material adverse effect upon us. In the judgment of management, based upon discussions with relevant Government officials, the denial by the Government of the transfer of the contracts was caused by the delay in submission of the Novation Agreement by Purchaser and, accordingly, Bulova Technologies Ordnance Systems LLC is exploring a cause of action against Purchaser for claims by the Army and Navy resulting from the terminations.

 

The four contracts discussed above were contracts W91CRB-09-C-0014, (awarded on January 9, 2011 (“Contract 1”)), W52P1J-06-D-0014 (awarded on May 5, 2006 (“Contract 2”)), and W52P1J-09-D-0066 (awarded on September 28, 2009 (“Contract 3”)), and N00164-12-D-JS87 (awarded on May 15, 2012 (“Contract 4”)).

 

The performance of Contract 1, involving the purchase by Ordnance of arms from Eastern European countries for importation into Afghanistan for friendly forces located there, was to take place between approximately July 2009 and January 2010, but was delayed, at least in part, due to the Government’s failure to produce proper documentation to permit performance by Ordnance. Monies were advanced by the Government, to be liquidated as weaponry was delivered. Ordnance delivered an amount of goods sufficient to liquidate a portion of the advances prior to termination, thus resulting in the Army’s demand for repayment referred to above, which amount is expected to be offset in part by the termination and delay claims filed by Ordnance. The termination provision contained in Contract 1 also permits the Army to claim excess re-procurement costs in buying replacement goods, but there is no evidence any such excess costs were incurred and the Army has, to date, claimed none.

 

The Army has terminated Contracts 2 and 3, which called for the delivery of Booby Trap Simulators with initial contract values of $13,495,520 and $5,310,565, respectively, during the period from May 2006 to approximately September 2014 as a result of the unwillingness of the Defense Contract Management Agency to recognize the novation of Contracts 2 and 3 to the purchaser of the assets of Ordnance. The termination provisions contained in Contract 2 and Contract 3 permit the Army to demand repayment of unliquidated advance payments and excess re-procurement fees, if any. No such demands have been made and Ordnance has received no advice that the simulators have been re-procured.

 

 

 

The Navy has advised it is considering terminating Contract 4, which originally called for the delivery of 11,085 Hand Held Signal Flares from May 2012 to approximately September 2014, as a result of the unwillingness of the Defense Contract Management Agency to recognize the novation of Contract 4 to the purchaser of the assets of Ordnance.

 

No monies were advanced to Ordnance under Contract 4. The termination provision contained in the contract would permit the Navy to demand repayment of excess re-procurement costs, if any. Ordnance has received no advice that the flares have been re-procured.
