PART I


ITEM 1.  BUSINESS


Overview

We were incorporated as a Nevada corporation on January 30, 1995 under the name American Tire Corporation and changed our name to Amerityre Corporation in December 1999.  Since our inception in 1995, we have been engaged in the research and development of technologies related to the formulation of polyurethane compounds and the manufacturing process for producing tires from polyurethane.

We believe that we have developed unique polyurethane formulations that allow for the creation of tire products with superior performance characteristics, including abrasion resistance and load-bearing capabilities, compared to those of conventional rubber tires.  In addition, we believe that the manufacturing processes we have developed are more efficient than traditional tire manufacturing processes, in part because our polyurethane compounds do not require the processing steps, extreme heat, and high pressure that are necessary to cure rubber.  Using our polyurethane technologies, we believe tires can be produced that are cost-competitive, more durable and more fuel efficient than existing rubber tires. As a company focused on the advanced chemistry and potential



1






innovative applications of polyurethane, we believe there is a significant opportunity to apply our materials to several industries.  The escalating price of rubber, combined with its inherent limitations, demonstrates the need for and potential benefits of alternative materials.  We believe that significant product performance improvements can be realized by substitution of our unique polyurethane compounds for both rubber and inferior polyurethane compounds.

We intend to expand our intellectual property portfolio through our own research and development as well as co-development efforts with industry leaders. We have had numerous patents granted and we have additional patent applications pending relating to our technology. By expanding our intellectual property, we believe that we will strengthen our competitive position and continue to be an innovator in the development of polyurethane technologies.


Products


Our polyurethane material technology is based on two key proprietary formulations; closed-cell polyurethane foam, which is a lightweight material with high load-bearing capabilities for light-use applications; and Elastothane®, a high performance polyurethane elastomer with high load-bearing capabilities suitable for heavy-use applications. The sale of closed-cell polyurethane foam tires accounts for approximately 93% of our total revenues at this time. However, we believe that the technology to formulate polyurethane for specialty applications and produce tires and tire-related products using our proprietary formulations is significant to our potential future growth.  Our business model provides for a diversified revenue stream, and we intend to generate additional revenue through license agreements relating to the use of our patented manufacturing methods and commercialization of the products produced with our technology.

Low Duty Closed-Cell Polyurethane Foam Tires

We currently manufacture several lines of closed-cell polyurethane foam tires for bicycles, wheelchairs, lawn and garden products, such as wheelbarrows and hand trucks, and outdoor power equipment products.  Our closed-cell polyurethane foam products are often referred to as flat-free because they have no inner tube, do not require inflation and will not go flat even if punctured. Our closed-cell polyurethane foam tires are mounted on the wheel rim in much the same way as a pneumatic tire.  Our closed-cell polyurethane foam products are virtually maintenance free, eliminating the need to make tedious puncture repairs and offering superior wear compared to rubber based tires.  In March 2008, we acquired molds and models from a well known manufacturer of polyurethane foam tires, Kik Technology, Inc. (“Kik”). The acquisition of the Kik manufacturing assets gives us the ability to produce a broader range of products for the low-duty cycle tire market.


Although we currently have the capacity to produce up to 2,000,000 closed-cell foam tires per year at our Boulder City, Nevada facility, Long-term, we intend to expand commercialization of our closed-cell foam tire products through strategic relationships with off-shore licensees who will manufacture the closed-cell foam tires for use on original equipment products.


Amerifill™ Tire Fill Material


In May 2004, we began the sale of high-quality polyurethane foam for use in the commercial tire fill market.  The tire fill material is marketed under the name Amerifill®. Amerifill® is based on Amerityre’s proven, premier “flat-free” closed-cell polyurethane foam technology. Tire fill materials are used in many tire applications, including construction, industrial and mining applications, to “flat-proof” and extend the life of rubber tires. Amerifill® is based on MDI polyurethane chemical formulations, which have been shown to be very stable and environmentally safe.  Most tire fill materials available today are petroleum-based compounds that have been shown to reduce the useful life of the tire and to pose environmental hazards. We have shown that Amerifill® performs better under load, runs cooler and is more durable than current comparable materials.  We have evaluated Amerifill® in the field and in side-by-side comparison testing conducted by independent test laboratories.  These evaluations and tests demonstrate that in many applications both the fill weight and cost can be significantly reduced by switching to Amerifill®.

Products in Development


We are developing tires and treads for tires using Elastothane® for a variety of applications as discussed below. In order to design and produce polyurethane tires suitable for these applications, we have invented the manufacturing equipment necessary to produce these tires in limited quantities and currently have multiple patents and pending patent applications with respect to various aspects of this technology.  This work is ongoing and we expect to make improvements to the processes and equipment as needed so that products can be produced in commercial quantities.  Elastothane® and the technology to produce tires using this proprietary formulation are significant to us because we believe that they allow for the creation of tires that can be produced quickly and less expensively than traditional rubber pneumatic tires, while meeting or exceeding the performance characteristics of those tires.  


Polyurethane Elastomer Passenger Car Tire and the Arcus® Run-Flat Tire

 In 2001, we developed polyurethane elastomer pneumatic passenger car tires that we were able to drive for over 500 miles without air pressure and with several holes in the sidewalls.  These tires did not contain traditional tire reinforcement materials, such as beads, belts and plies.  We then developed Arcus®, a patented system for integrating these reinforcement materials in our Elastothane® tires.  The Arcus® Run-Flat Tire is designed to operate at normal air pressure, yet continue to perform normally for up to 200 miles without air.

We have produced a limited number of Arcus® passenger car tires and have conducted independent laboratory testing to demonstrate these tires comply with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, or FMVSS.  In April 2004, our Arcus® Run-Flat tire was successfully tested by an accredited test laboratory approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, to certify compliance with the laboratory test procedures required under FMVSS 109, the current safety standard for pneumatic passenger car tires.  We know of no other company that has produced a pneumatic polyurethane passenger car tire that has passed these standards.  Additionally, an independent laboratory test demonstrated that our Arcus® Run-Flat tire had 45% less rolling resistance than a comparable rubber run-flat car tire.  The independent laboratory test indicated that the lower rolling resistance would result in more than a 12% increase in fuel economy for a car equipped with Arcus® Run-Flat tires.

In November 2007, we successfully completed the final components of FMVSS 139 (the U.S. safety standard) testing on our Arcus® run-flat tire design.  Components of the testing include bead unseating, tire strength and the strenuous high speed component, as well as an endurance component. We continue to manufacture prototype passenger car tires to evaluate the properties of the tires in the laboratory and on vehicles. We have also provided prototype tires to other tire or automotive manufacturers for performance evaluation, which may include uniform tire quality grading or other performance testing and/or testing to non-U.S. safety standards. In addition, we have been working to finalize the elements of the manufacturing process that is intended to achieve a production rate of one tire per minute.

Polyurethane Elastomer Non-Pneumatic or “Solid” Tires

We have completed the developmental phase of a non-pneumatic zero-pressure temporary/spare tire using Elastothane®.  This solid Elastothane® tire was developed for potential use as a temporary/spare tire for passenger vehicles.  These tires do not contain air and do not require inflation. However, in its current state of development, the non-pneumatic temporary spare tire costs and weighs more than a conventional pneumatic temporary tire. Therefore, we are developing additional prototype non-pneumatic tires for other applications such as fork lifts, skid steers and luggage carts that currently use solid rubber tires and where the weight and cost of the solid polyurethane tire are significantly more competitive.  We’ve been able to demonstrate the capability of manufacturing MDI polyurethane forklift tires at the rate of one tire per minute. Based on our manufacturing model, we believe that MDI polyurethane forklift tires can be manufactured and sold at prices competitive with rubber forklift tires.

Polyurethane Elastomer Retread Material


We have been developing a manufacturing process for retreading off the road (“OTR”) and medium commercial truck tires with Elastothane®.  We believe this retreading process will have broad application for the



3






mining, construction, industrial and commercial truck tire markets.  Our tire retreading process involves applying the polyurethane tread compound to the rubber tire casing without high heat, pressure or curing.  


In September 2006, we entered into a manufacturing license agreement with Qingdao Qizhou Rubber Company, LTD. (“Qingdao”), a Chinese company, to manufacture retreads using our polyurethane elastomer compound for large size OTR tires used in mining operations.  In connection with the manufacturing license agreement we agreed to supply Qingdao with a 2,500 lb per minute polyurethane pouring machine. We commissioned a third-party equipment supplier in the United Kingdom to fabricate the machine. The machine has now been tested and delivered to Qingdao’s newly constructed OTR retread manufacturing facility in Shandong Province, China.


Due to a slow-down in its tire exports and a reduction in working capital to complete the fabrication of the large size OTR tire tread tooling, Qingdao has reported to us that they will not be able to meet the original projected time frame for commencing production of OTR tire retreads (i.e., September 2008). Although Qingdao has provided us with assurances that it has obtained sufficient financing to complete the tooling and commence production, we can not estimate the extent of the delay at this time. Once Qingdao’s OTR tire retread facility is operational, Qingdao will purchase the polyurethane elastomer chemical systems necessary to produce the OTR tire retreads directly from us.


In anticipation of Qingdao commencing production of OTR tire retreads, we entered into an agreement with Phelps Dodge Mining Company to evaluate large size OTR tire retreads. We established a program with Qingdao to produce several test polyurethane elastomer retreads for OTR tires with casings supplied by Phelps Dodge. However, Chinese law restricts the import of used tires to China. As a result, Qingdao will be required to source OTR tire casings in China. Our ability to provide Phelps Dodge with OTR retreads is contingent on Qingdao sourcing OTR tire casings in China and commencing production at the OTR retread facility.


Polyurethane Foam Fire Retardant Material


We have recently formulated and tested flame retardant polyurethane foam for use as packaging material. The flame retardant material has performed well in flammability testing and exceeded the requirements of the UL 94-HB (Horizontal Burn) test. We are currently evaluating commercial applications for this product.


Raw Materials and Supplies

The two principal chemical raw materials required to manufacture our products are known generically as polyols and isocyanates.  We purchase our chemical raw materials from multiple third-party suppliers.  In addition, we purchase various quantities of additional chemical additives that are mixed with the polyols and isocyanates.  These additional chemicals are also available from multiple suppliers.  Critical raw materials are generally sourced from at least two vendors to assure adequate supply and price competition.  

We believe that sufficient quantities of chemical raw materials can be obtained through normal sources to avoid interruption of production.  However, with respect to both polyols and isocyanates, worldwide demand is increasing and may exceed current capacity.  If we are successful in implementing our business strategy, the quantities of chemical raw materials required by us or by others that utilize our technology may increase significantly.  Shortages, if any, may result in price increases that we may or may not be able to pass on to our customers by means of corresponding changes in product pricing.  Therefore, raw material price increases or our inability to pass price increases through to customers could adversely affect our results of operations.

In addition to the chemical raw materials, we purchase steel and plastic wheel components for use in tire and wheel assemblies.  We purchase these components from multiple third-party suppliers.  In fiscal 2007 and 2008 we experienced price increases for steel wheel components but no supply delays or shortages.  However, we anticipate that we may experience an increase in steel wheel components at such time as the Chinese government cancels any export rebates it may be currently providing Chinese wheel manufactures. We believe that we can continue to purchase wheel components from multiple sources without any difficulty.

Operations/Manufacturing

Our closed-cell polyurethane foam products are manufactured utilizing single or multiple stationed carousel centrifugal molding presses.  We produce closed-cell foam products using these presses by pouring a proprietary polyurethane formula into a mold, which then spreads out in the mold through centrifugal force.  The molding process occurs by reacting MDI with polyol and other chemicals.  The chemical reaction causes a cross linking of the chemicals, which thereafter become solid.  The manufacturing process for a closed-cell polyurethane foam product takes less than two minutes.  The closed-cell polyurethane foam product can then be removed from the mold and the process is repeated.

Our polyurethane car tire technology is best summarized as a combination of specially formulated chemicals coupled with unique manufacturing processes and tire building techniques. We have also invented manufacturing processes to make tires for vehicles from polyurethane elastomer. We believe this manufacturing process offers significant advantages over the process for producing rubber tires. We believe that manufacturing a passenger car tire using our manufacturing technology will significantly reduce the cost of a tire manufacturing plant.  Because of our simplified manufacturing process, much of the equipment typically required to produce rubber tires is not necessary, and an Elastothane™ tire manufacturing plant will require much less square footage and require less energy to run.

All of our closed-cell polyurethane foam products are inspected following the manufacturing process and prior to shipment to ensure quality. Any closed-cell foam products considered by our quality control personnel to be defective are disposed of through traditional refuse collection services or can be ground into pellets, which can be melted and reused to make other products and reduce waste of raw materials.  We expect to implement similar quality control procedures with respect to any Elastothane™ products that we produce.

Information Systems

We use commercial computer aided design, or CAD, software in connection with engineering and designing our products.  This software allows us to integrate our proprietary manufacturing and production data with our design technology, enabling our engineering department to leverage our previous manufacturing and test results to predict the performance characteristics of new product designs.  For general business purposes, we use commercially available software for financial, distribution, manufacturing, customer relationships and payroll management.  

Sales, Marketing and Distribution

Historically, we have been primarily a technology company in the development stage, manufacturing a limited number of products for the purpose of validating our polyurethane materials and manufacturing technology.  We now have an extensive line of closed-cell polyurethane foam tire products for various product segments and have recently introduced our Amerfill® tire fill material.  Our four full-time sales representatives are actively targeting customers that utilize tires in significant volume through telephone and in person meetings.  Our sales representatives are also working to establish broader distribution for our products in the aftermarket by contacting major regional distributors, retail cooperatives and chains that distribute and otherwise sell our products.

In January 2008 we announced the formation of an internal sales group to specifically target suppliers and OEM (original equipment manufacturer) users of tire fill in the construction, industrial and mining applications. We showcased our Amerifill® light weight fill material at two industry trade shows held in Las Vegas during February and March 2008.

In April 2008, we hired Michael Kapral as Vice President of Marketing. Mr. Kapral has an extensive 25 year career in the tire and tire products industry and will oversee our marketing and sales efforts. In addition, we continue looking for international marketing partners for overseas sales of this product. Our polyurethane car tire technology is currently marketed by our principal executive officers through direct contact with representatives at international and domestic automobile and tire industry manufacturers as well as end-users.  This sales strategy is enhanced by introductions provided by members of our Board of Directors.  If successful, the meetings will be followed by the development of a product designed for the potential end-users and a subsequent period of evaluation



5






and testing.  Eventually, we intend to shift the responsibility of marketing this technology from our principal executive officers to full time sales and marketing personnel once we determine that our technology has been commercially established.  

Customers

We have one customer, Central Purchasing, which accounted for approximately 20%, 20%, and 23% of total sales during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We don't believe that the loss of this customer would have a material adverse effect on our business.  In general, our customers include OEMs of lawn and garden products, and outdoor power equipment, regional distributors, retail cooperatives and chains that sell lawn and garden products, bicycle tires and hand truck tires to the aftermarket.

Competition

There are several companies that produce not-for-highway-use or light-use tires from polyurethane foam such as Green Tire, UK, Alshin Tire, USA, USA, Woo Tire, China and Krypton-India, India.  We believe our closed-cell polyurethane foam tires differ from the polyurethane foam tires offered by the above competitors because our products contain millions of closed-cell versus open-cell air bubbles.  By closing the cells, our products have higher load bearing characteristics than tire products with open-cell polyurethane foam, while effectively producing a ride quality comparable to a pneumatic tire.

In addition to manufacturers of polyurethane foam tires, we compete directly with companies that manufacture and market traditional not-for-highway-use, light-use pneumatic, semi-pneumatic, and solid tires made from rubber.  The not-for-highway use tire industry has historically been highly competitive and several of our competitors have financial resources that substantially exceed ours. In addition, many of our competitors are very large companies, such as Kenda, Taiwan, Maxxis International, Taiwan, and Carlisle Tire, USA, that have established brand name recognition, have established distribution networks for their products, and have developed consumer loyalty to such products.

There are several companies that produce pneumatic tire fill material, such as Carpenter, Pathway Polymers and Arnco. These companies are larger than us and have established distribution networks for their products. We believe that most tire fill materials available today are petroleum-based compounds that have been shown to reduce the useful life of the tire and to pose environmental hazards.  Governments in both Europe and the United States have either passed or are considering legislation that will eventually outlaw the use or disposal of these hazardous fill materials. Our Amerifill® tire fill material is based on MDI polyurethane chemical formulations, which have been shown to be very stable and environmentally safe. We have shown that Amerifill® performs better under load, runs cooler and is more durable than current comparable materials.  


We have evaluated Amerifill® in the field and in side-by-side comparison testing conducted by independent test laboratories.  We believe these tests have demonstrated that our light weight foam Amerifill® material is cost-competitive and suitable for approximately 75% of the market.  While our elastomer Amerifill® material is not price competitive with oil based fill products, it has significant environmental benefits compared with those products.


We know of no other companies that have the technology necessary to formulate and produce polyurethane elastomer compounds suitable for either highway or OTR tire use.  To our knowledge, no other company has produced polyurethane pneumatic and/or non-pneumatic passenger car tires that comply with FMVSS for those tires.  However, there are several domestic and international companies that produce rubber tires for highway or OTR use, most of which are larger and have greater financial resources than we do.  Significant competitors in the highway tire market include Goodyear, Bridgestone/Firestone and Michelin.  Significant competitors in the OTR tire market include Bridgestone/Firestone and Michelin.

 

Intellectual Property Rights

We seek to obtain patent protection for, or to maintain as trade secrets, those inventions that we consider important to the development of our business.  We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade



6






secret laws in the United States and other jurisdictions as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions to protect our proprietary technology and branding.  We control access to our proprietary technology and enter into confidentiality agreements with our employees and other third parties.  We own seven issued U.S. patents and have several additional pending U.S. and foreign patent applications.  We use various trademarks in association with marketing our products, including the names Arcus®, Amerityre®, Atmospheric®, Elastothane®, Amerifill®, Kik™ and Tire Technology for the 21st Century®  

Trade Secrets

Our polyurethane material technology is based on two key proprietary formulations, a closed-cell polyurethane foam, which is a lightweight material with high load-bearing capabilities for light-use applications, and a polyurethane elastomer, which is a high performing material with high load-bearing capabilities for heavy-use applications.  

We restrict access to our key proprietary formulations to a limited number of our executive officers and managers.  Documentation of our proprietary formulations is secured in a safe deposit box.  We have not applied for patent protection of our proprietary formulations because such applications would require us to publicly disclose these formulations.  Instead, we have chosen to maintain these formulations as trade secrets.

Employees

As of August 31, 2008 we had 22 full-time employees, including 16 salaried and 6 hourly employees.  We may hire temporary labor for manufacturing needs as required.  We believe that we will be able to hire a sufficient quantity of qualified laborers in the local area to meet our employment needs.  Our manufacturing process does not require special training, other than orientation to our production techniques and specific equipment.  None of our



8






employees is represented by a labor union or a collective bargaining agreement.  We consider our relations with our employees to be good.

Research and Development

Our research and development activities are focused primarily on the continued development of our passenger car tire technology and the use of our proprietary chemical systems (i.e. Amerifill™ and Elastothane®) for use in multiple applications as discussed above. We continue to fine tune tire products for various markets (i.e. solid-fork lift tires and cost-efficient manufacturing processes). We have also developed non-tire related applications (i.e., polyurethane foam fire retardant material) and, provided we have sufficient funding, we will continue to devote a portion of our research and development efforts outside of the tire industry.  Our research and development expenses have totaled $572,097, $834,647 and $790,877 for fiscal 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Regulatory Environment

Tire manufacturers must comply with a wide range of government- and industry- imposed standards and regulations.  In order to commercially market motor vehicle tires in the U.S., manufacturers must comply with the FMVSS, which are promulgated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.  In addition to FMVSS, tire manufacturers are subject to a variety of national and local laws and regulations, many of which deal with the environment and health and safety issues, including specific requirements related to tire strength, performance and endurance.  Regulations may change in response to judicial proceedings, legislative and administrative proposals, government policies, competition, and technological developments.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Historically, we have lost money from operations and we have made no provision for any contingency, unexpected expenses or increases in costs that may arise.

We are an early-stage company and our products have not obtained broad market acceptance.  Since inception, we have been able to cover our operating losses from the sale of our securities.  We cannot assure you, however, that these sources of funds will be available to cover future operating losses. If we are not able to obtain adequate sources of funds to operate our business we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

Our business operations and plans could be adversely affected in the event we need additional financing and are unable to obtain such funding when needed.  To the extent that our business strategy requires expanding our operations, such expansion could be costly to implement and may cause us to experience significant continuing losses.  It is possible that our available short-term assets and anticipated revenues may not be sufficient to meet our operating expenses, business expansion plans, and capital expenditures for the next twelve months.  Insufficient funds may prevent us from implementing our business strategy or may require us to delay, scale back or eliminate certain opportunities for the commercialization of our technology and products.  If we cannot generate adequate sales of our products, or increase our revenues through licensing of our technology or other means, then we may be forced to cease operations.

In order to succeed as a company, we must continue to develop commercially viable products and sell adequate quantities of products at prices sufficient to generate profits.  We may not accomplish these objectives. Even if we are successful in increasing our revenue base, a number of factors may affect future sales of our products.  These factors include whether competitors produce alternative or superior products and whether the cost of implementing our products is competitive in the marketplace.

In addition, we are attempting to increase revenues through licensing our technology and manufacturing rights, selling polyurethane chemical systems to customers that produce their own products, and offering contract design and engineering services.  If these proposals are not viable in the marketplace, we may not generate significant revenues from these efforts.

We may experience delays in resolving unexpected technical issues experienced in completing development of new technology that will increase development costs and postpone anticipated sales and revenues.



9






As we develop and improve our products, we frequently must solve chemical, manufacturing and/or equipment-related issues.  Some of these issues are ones that we cannot anticipate because the products we are developing are new. If we must revise existing manufacturing processes or order specialized equipment to address a particular issue, we may not meet our projected timetable for bringing products to market.  Such delays may interfere with existing manufacturing schedules, negatively affect revenues and increase our cost of operations.

Because we have limited experience, we may be unable to successfully manage planned growth as we complete the transition from a technology development company to a licensing, manufacturing and marketing company.

We have limited experience in the commercial manufacturing and marketing arena, limited product sales and marketing experience, and limited staff and support systems, especially compared to competitors in the tire industry.  In order to become profitable through the commercialization of our technology and products, they must be cost-effective and economical to implement on a commercial scale.  Furthermore, if our technologies and products do not achieve, or if they are unable to maintain, market acceptance or regulatory approval, we may not be profitable.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to license, market and distribute our technologies and products effectively.    We have limited manufacturing, marketing and distribution capabilities.  Although we have hired consultants to assist us in this transition period, we cannot assure you that we will properly ascertain or assess any and all risks inherent in the industry.  We may not be successful in entering into new licensing or marketing arrangements, engaging independent distributors, or recruiting, training and retaining a larger internal marketing staff and sales force.  If we are unable to meet the challenges posed by our planned licensing, manufacturing, distribution and sales growth, our business may fail.

We are subject to governmental regulations, including environmental and health and safety regulations.

Our business operations are subject to a variety of national, state and local laws and regulations, many of which deal with the environment and health and safety issues. We believe we are in material compliance with applicable environmental and worker health and safety requirements. However, material future expenditures may be necessary if compliance standards change or material unknown conditions that require remediation are discovered. If we fail to comply with present and future environmental and worker health and safety laws and regulations, we could be subject to future liabilities or interruptions in our operations, which could have a material adverse affect on our business.

The markets in which we sell our products are highly competitive.

The markets for our products are highly competitive on a global basis, with a number of companies having significantly greater resources and market share than us.  Many of our competitors also maintain a significantly higher level of brand recognition than we do.  Because of greater resources and more widely accepted brand names, many of our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to changes in the markets we have targeted or devote greater resources to the development and sale of new products.  Most of the products we have developed have not obtained broad market acceptance and rely on our emerging technology.  To improve our competitive position, we will need to make significant ongoing investments in manufacturing, customer service and support, marketing, sales, research and development and intellectual property protection.  We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient resources to continue to make such investments or that we will maintain or improve our competitive position within the markets we serve.  

We attempt to protect the critical elements of our proprietary technology as trade secrets.  Because of our reliance on trade secrets, we are unable to prevent third parties from independently developing technologies that are similar or superior to our technology or from successfully reverse engineering or otherwise replicating our technology.

In certain cases, where the disclosure of information required to obtain a patent would divulge critical proprietary data, we may choose not to patent elements of our proprietary technology and processes which we have developed or may develop in the future and instead rely on trade secret laws to protect certain elements of our proprietary technology and processes.  For example, we rely on trade secrets to protect our  key polyurethane formulations.  These formulations are critical elements of and central to our proprietary technology.  Our trade



10






secrets could be compromised by third parties, or intentionally or accidentally by our employees.  There also can be no assurance that others will not independently develop technologies that are similar or superior to our technology.  Third parties may also legally reverse engineer our products.  Independent development, reverse engineering, or other legal copying of those elements of our proprietary technology that we attempt to protect as trade secrets could enable third parties to benefit from our technologies without compensating us.  The protection of proprietary technology through claims of trade secret status has been the subject of increasing claims and litigation by various companies both in order to protect proprietary rights as well as for competitive reasons, even when proprietary claims are unsubstantiated.  The prosecution of litigation to protect our trade secrets or the defense of such claims is costly and unpredictable given the uncertainty and rapid development of the principles of law pertaining to this area.  We may also be subject to claims by other parties with regard to the use of technology information and data that may be deemed proprietary to others.  The independent development of technologies that are similar or superior to our technology or the reverse engineering of our products by third parties would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.  In addition, the loss of our ability to use any of our trade secrets or other proprietary technology would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.  Because trade secrets do not ensure exclusivity and pose such issues with respect to enforcement, third parties may decline to partner with us or may pay lesser compensation for use of our technology which is protected only by trade secrets.

Our business depends on the protection of our patents and other intellectual property and may suffer if we are unable to adequately protect such intellectual property.

Our success and ability to compete are substantially dependent upon our intellectual property.  We rely on patent, trademark and copyright laws, trade secret protection and confidentiality or license agreements with our employees, customers, strategic partners and others to protect our intellectual property rights.  However, the steps we take to protect our intellectual property rights may be inadequate.  There are events that are outside of our control that pose a threat to our intellectual property rights as well as to our products and services.  For example, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in every country in which we license our technology or our products are distributed.  Also, the efforts we have taken to protect our proprietary rights may not be sufficient or effective.  Any impairment of our intellectual property rights could harm our business and our ability to compete.  Also, protecting our intellectual property rights is costly and time consuming.  Any increase in the unauthorized use of our intellectual property could make it more expensive to do business and harm our operating results.  In addition, other parties may independently develop similar or competing technologies designed around any patents that may be issued to us.

We have been granted several U.S. patents and have several U.S. patent applications pending relating to certain aspects of our manufacturing technology and use of polyurethane to make tires and we may seek further patents on future innovations.  Our ability to either manufacture products or license our technology is substantially dependent on the validity and enforcement of these patents and patents pending.  We cannot assure you that our patents will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged, that patents will be issued for our patents pending, that the rights granted under the patents will provide us competitive advantages or that our current and future patent applications will be granted.

Third parties may invalidate our patents

Third parties may seek to challenge, invalidate, circumvent or render unenforceable any patents or proprietary rights owned by or licensed to us based on, among other things:

·

subsequently discovered prior art;

·

lack of entitlement to the priority of an earlier, related application; or

·

failure to comply with the written description, best mode, enablement or other applicable requirements.

United States patent law requires that a patent must disclose the “best mode” of creating and using the invention covered by a patent.  If the inventor of a patent knows of a better way, or “best mode,” to create the invention and fails to disclose it, that failure could result in the loss of patent rights.  Our decision to protect certain elements of our proprietary technologies as trade secrets and to not disclose such technologies in patent applications,



11






may serve as a basis for third parties to challenge and ultimately invalidate certain of our related patents based on a failure to disclose the best mode of creating and using the invention claimed in the applicable patent.  If a third party is successful in challenging the validity of our patents, our inability to enforce our intellectual property rights could seriously harm our business.

We may be liable for infringing the intellectual property rights of others.

Our products and technologies may be the subject of claims of intellectual property infringement in the future.  Our technologies may not be able to withstand any third-party claims or rights against their use.  Any intellectual property claims, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, expensive to litigate or settle, could divert resources and attention and could require us to obtain a license to use the intellectual property of third parties.  We may be unable to obtain licenses from these third parties on favorable terms, if at all.  Even if a license is available, we may have to pay substantial royalties to obtain it.  If we cannot defend such claims or obtain necessary licenses on reasonable terms, we may be precluded from offering most or all of our products or services and our business and results of operations will be adversely affected.

Tires for highway use must meet applicable safety standards prior to marketing which could delay anticipated revenues and increase expenses, while off-the-road tires, although not subject to specific safety standards, are subject to discretionary industry performance evaluations based on product application.

Tires intended for highway use must meet applicable federal safety standards through various testing processes.  Our prototype polyurethane car tires, temporary spare tire, and medium commercial truck retread material are all subject to such standards.  The testing procedures involve submission of sample products to approved independent testing facilities, a process that may entail both significant time and expense.  OTRtires, including tire retread material, must meet the performance standards established by the manufacturers and end-users based on the criteria established by them after taking into account their specific needs, such as load capacity, terrain and proposed uses.  The applicable standards may be changed at any time and meeting current or future performance standards may require reevaluation and additional research and testing.  

We have received approval for only a limited number of our highway-use products.  In the future, we may be unable to obtain the requisite approval for the sale of some of our products.  Therefore, the timing of product placement in the market may be difficult to determine, may require additional research, development and testing expenses, and we may not receive revenues from such products as planned.  Such delays, our inability to obtain the requisite approval and potential additional expenses could have a negative impact on cash flows, results of operations and business planning.

Because our proposed tire products are derived from new technology, our product liability insurance costs will likely increase and we may be exposed to product liability risks that could adversely affect profitability.

Even if tests indicate that our tires meet performance standards and our new highway-use tire products are approved for use, these products may subject us to significant product liability claims because the technology is new and there is little history of on-road use.  Moreover, because our products are and will be used in applications where their failure could result in substantial injury or death, we could also be subject to product liability claims.  Introduction of such new products and increased use of our existing products will most likely increase our product liability premiums and defense of potential claims could increase insurance costs even further, which could substantially increase our expenses.  Any insurance we obtain may not be sufficient to cover the losses incurred through such lawsuits.

Significant increases in the price of chemical raw materials, steel and other raw materials used in our products could increase our production costs and decrease our profit margins or make our products less competitive in the marketplace due to price increases.

The materials used to produce our products are susceptible to price fluctuations due to supply and demand trends, the economic climate and other unforeseen trends.  We have recently experienced increases in the cost of wheel components for our tire/wheel assemblies due to the increased cost of steel and have also seen increases in our chemical raw materials pricing.  Our raw materials pricing could increase further in the future.  Because we are



12






introducing products that will compete, in part, on the basis of price, we may be unable to pass cost increases on to our customers.  If we are unable to pass on raw material cost increases to our customers, our future results of operations and cash flow will be materially adversely affected.

Our ability to execute our business plan would be harmed if we are unable to retain or attract key personnel.

Our polyurethane technology has been developed by a small number of the members of our management team and only a limited number of the members of our management team maintain the technical knowledge to produce our products.  Our future success depends, to a significant extent, upon our ability to retain and attract the services of these and other key personnel.  The loss of the services of one or more members of our management team could hinder our ability to effectively manage our business and implement our growth strategies.  Finding suitable replacements could be difficult, and competition for such personnel of similar experience is intense.  We do not carry key person insurance on any of our officers.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


This discussion and analysis contains statements of a forward-looking nature relating to future events or our future financial performance or financial condition.  Such statements are only predictions and the actual events or results may differ materially from the results discussed in or implied by the forward-looking statements.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in "Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors" as well as those discussed elsewhere in this report.  The historical results set forth in this discussion and analysis are not necessarily indicative of trends with respect to any actual or projected future financial performance.  This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.


Overview and Recent Developments


Since our inception in 1995, we have been engaged in the research and development of technologies related to the formulation of polyurethane compounds and the manufacturing process for producing tires constructed of polyurethane.  We believe that we have developed unique polyurethane formulations that, when used in tire applications, substantially simplify the production process and allow for the creation of products with superior performance characteristics, including abrasion resistance and load-bearing capabilities, than conventional rubber tires.  We also believe that the manufacturing processes we have developed to produce polyurethane tires are more efficient than traditional tire manufacturing processes, in part because our polyurethane compounds do not require the multiple processing steps, extreme heat, and high pressure that are necessary to cure rubber.  Using our polyurethane technologies, we believe tires can be produced that last longer, are less susceptible to failure and offer improved fuel economy.  

Our aggregate revenues for the year ended June 30, 2008, June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 were $2.89 million, $3.43 million and $2.03 million, respectively, and our aggregate cost of revenues during those same periods were $1.92 million, $2.38 million and $1.55 million, respectively.  For the year ended June 30, 2008, June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, we had net losses of approximately $4.22 million, $5 million and $5.32 million, respectively. We expect to incur significant additional expenses as we expand our business due to increased selling, general and administrative expenditures related to the commercialization of our proprietary polyurethane Elastothane® or Amerifill™ products. We expect the increase in revenues from the expanded commercialization activities should reduce net loss in the near term and move us closer to profitability.

While the sale of polyurethane foam tires to original equipment manufacturers, distributors and retail stores continues to account for most of our revenue at this time, Elastothane® and Amerifill® are significant to our potential future growth. We are concentrating on five principal product areas: tire fill, low duty cycle tires, solid tires, composite tires and pneumatic tires. Our most recent activities in these areas are set forth below:

Tire fill – Through research and testing, we have found that our Amerifill® material is not compatible with most tire fill equipment in use today; therefore our customers must also acquire the necessary tire fill equipment to use our materials. In order to penetrate this market we are supplying our customers with tire fill equipment at our cost. Profits from this initiative will be derived from the sale of Amerifill® to our customers. Since launching this program in the spring of 2008, we have supplied a number of fill machines and have now begun to supply the Amerifill® material.


Low duty tires - In March 2008, we acquired the manufacturing assets of a well known manufacturer of polyurethane foam tires, Kik Technology, Inc. (“Kik”). The acquisition of the Kik manufacturing assets gives us the ability to produce a broader range of products for the low-duty cycle tire market. We anticipate this transaction will have positive impact on our future foam tire product revenues. During the last quarter of fiscal 2008 we have focused on integrating the Kik products into our product line-up.


Solid tires – On May 1, 2008, we announced we have initiated commercial production of solid polyurethane elastomer tires.  We announced that we have been awarded the production business by Oxbo International Corporation to supply 15”x 13” solid polyurethane elastomer gage tires for use in farm implements



17






employed in chopping or baling alfalfa or hay. We estimate the first year volume for the 50-lb. gage tire is estimated to be 1,200 units or approximately $200,000 in revenue.  The gage tire represents the first of several solid polyurethane elastomer tire products that we have been developing for the commercial markets. Other potential commercial applications for the solid polyurethane elastomer tires include forklift and aperture tires used in the construction and material handling industry. We have recently demonstrated the capability of making solid polyurethane elastomer forklift tires at the rate of one tire per minute, using our advanced production technology and hope to see these products go commercial in our 2009 fiscal year.     


Composite tires – There are multiple applications for use of our polyurethane elastomer material as treads for new or retread tire casings. The first commercial application for this technology is being initiated by Desert Research Technology (“DRT), to manufacture paddle-type sand tires.  DRT has recently commenced commercial production of this product and we have begun to supply DRT with the chemical system necessary to produce the tires.  Our licensee, Qingdao Qizhou Rubber Company, LTD. (“Qingdao”) has told us they will not meet their original September 2008 deadline for commencing OTR tire retreads and we cannot estimate the extent of the delay at this time. However, once Qingdao’s OTR tire retread facility is operational, Qingdao will purchase the polyurethane elastomer chemical systems necessary to produce the OTR tire retreads directly from us.


Pneumatic tires – Our Arcus® run-flat tire design successfully completed all testing requirements under Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 139. Successful completion of FMVSS 139 testing on our Arcus® passenger car tire design has been a high priority. We continue to manufacture prototype passenger car tires to evaluate the properties of the tires in the laboratory and on vehicles. We have also provided prototype tires to other tire or automotive manufacturers for performance evaluation, which may include uniform tire quality grading or other performance testing and/or testing to non-U.S. safety standards. In addition, we have been working to finalize the elements of the manufacturing process that is intended to achieve a production rate of one tire per minute. We are discussing the construction and installation of a pilot manufacturing facility capable of demonstrating this production capability with potential strategic partners.

Factors Affecting Results of Operations

Historically, our operating expenses have exceeded our revenues resulting in net losses of approximately $4.22 million, $5 million and $5.32 million in fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In each of these periods, our operating expenses consisted primarily of the following:

·

Cost of sales, which consists primarily of raw materials, components and production of our products, including applied labor costs and benefits expenses, maintenance, facilities and other operating costs associated with the production of our products;

·

Selling, general and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of salaries, commissions and related benefits paid to our employees and related selling and administrative costs including professional fees;  

·

Research and development expenses, which consist primarily of equipment and materials used in the development of our technologies;

·

Consulting expenses, which consist primarily of amounts paid to third-parties for outside services;

·

Depreciation and amortization expenses which result from the depreciation of our property and equipment, including amortization of our intangible assets; and

·

Amortization of deferred compensation that results from the expense related to certain stock options to our employees.

Critical Accounting Policies


Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to uncollectible receivables, inventory valuation, deferred compensation and contingencies.  



18






We base our estimates on historical performance and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  These estimates allow us to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.


We believe the following accounting policies are our critical accounting policies because they are important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and they require critical management judgments and estimates about matters that may be uncertain.  If actual results or events differ materially from those contemplated by us in making these estimates, our reported financial condition and results of operations for future periods could be materially affected.


Revenue Recognition


Revenue for products is recognized when the sales amount is determined, shipment of goods to the customer has occurred and collection is reasonably assured. Generally, we ship all of our products FOB origination. License fee revenue is recognized as earned, and no revenue is recognized until the inception of the license term.


Valuation of Intangible Assets and Goodwill


At June 30, 2008, we had capitalized patent and trademark costs totaling $765,784.  The patents which have been granted are being amortized over a period of 20 years.  Patents which are pending or are being developed are not amortized until a patent has been issued.  Amortization expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $21,638, $23,209, and $25,514, respectively.  We evaluate the recoverability of intangibles and review the amortization period on a continual basis utilizing the guidance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards “SFAS” No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets."  We test our patents and trademarks for impairment at least annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicated that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  We consider the following indicators, among others, when determining whether or not our patents are impaired:


·

any changes in the market relating to the patents that would decrease the life of the asset;


·

any adverse change in the extent or manner in which the patents are being used;


·

any significant adverse change in legal factors relating to the use of the patents;


·

current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with our history of operating or cash flow losses;


·

future cash flow values based on the expectation of commercialization through licensing; and


·

current expectations that, more likely than not, the patents will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (computed on a first-in, first-out basis) or market.  The inventory consists of chemicals, finished goods produced in our plant and products purchased for resale.

Stock-Based Compensation

Equity securities issued for services rendered have been accounted for at the fair market value of the securities on the date of authorization.

On July 1, 2005, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on estimated fair values for all share-based payments to employees and Directors, including employee stock options and stock purchases related to our employee stock option and award plans.  SFAS 123(R) supersedes our previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) for periods



19






beginning in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.  In March 2005, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123(R).  We have applied the provisions of SAB 107 in our adoption of SFAS 123(R).

We adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of July 1, 2005, the first day of our fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.  Our financial statements as of and for the period ended June 30, 2006, 2007, and 2008 reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008 was $370,027, related to employee stock options granted during the year.  Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006 was $783,503 and $664,171 respectively.

SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option pricing model.  The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our Statement of Operations. Under SFAS 123(R), stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period.  At June 30, 2005, we had no unvested share-based payment awards that required the recognition of compensation expense during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.  Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our Statement of Operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2007, and 2008 is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123(R), and only includes compensation expense for share-based payment awards that were granted after July 1, 2005 and vested during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, 2007, and 2008.  Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our Statement of Operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, 2007, and 2008 assumes all awards will vest.  Therefore, no reduction has been made for estimated forfeitures.

The valuation of options and warrants granted to unrelated parties for services are measured as of the earlier of the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instrument is reached, or the date the counterparty’s performance is complete.  Pursuant to the requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force No. 96-18, the options and warrants will be revalued in situations where they are granted prior to the completion of the performance.


Seasonality

A substantial majority of our sales are to customers within the United States. We experience some seasonality in the sale of our closed-cell polyurethane foam tires for bicycles and lawn and garden products because sales of these products generally decline during the winter months in the United States.  Sales of our closed-cell polyurethane form tire products generally peak during the spring and summer months; typically resulting in greater sales volumes during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year.

Results of Operations

Our management reviews and analyzes several key performance indicators in order to manage our business and assess the quality and potential variability of our revenues and cash flows. These key performance indicators include:

·

Sales revenue, net of returns and trade discounts, which is an indicator of our overall business growth and the success of our sales and marketing efforts;

·

Gross profit, which is an indicator of both competitive pricing pressures and the cost of sales of our products;

·

Growth in our customer base, which is an indicator of the success of our sales efforts; and

·

Distribution of revenue across our products offered.

The following summary table presents a comparison of our results of operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 with respect to certain key financial measures.  The comparisons illustrated in the table are discussed in greater detail below.

Year Ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2007

Net Revenues.   Sales of our closed-cell polyurethane foam products accounted for 91% of all of our sales revenue during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 we had $2,617,337 of net polyurethane foam product sales compared to $2,620,587 for 2007. Net polyurethane foam product sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased by $3,250, or 0.12%, as compared with 2007 due primarily to a slightly lower demand resulting primarily from weakness in the consumer markets reflecting uncertainty in global economic conditions.  Our number of product units sold to our original equipment manufacturer, retail chain and distributor customers increased only 3% over the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, we had $37,218 and $14,095 of returns of our products and trade discounts, respectively, compared to $35,404 and $12,461, respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, we had $210,000 of revenues derived from licensing fees, or 7% of total net revenues, compared to $266,667 of revenues derived from licensing fees, or 8% of total net revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Also, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, we had $62,690 of revenues derived from sales of equipment, or 2% of total net revenues, compared to $540,000 of revenues derived from sales of equipment, or 16% of total net revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The substantial decrease in sales of equipment for fiscal 2008 as compared to fiscal 2007 is entirely related to the sale of pouring equipment to Qingdao during fiscal 2007, while equipment sales during fiscal 2008 all relate to the sale of tire fill equipment.  

Cost of Revenues.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, our cost of revenues related to our closed-cell polyurethane foam products increased 2%, compared to 2007 due to a substantial increase in raw material costs. As a result of these cost increases, our gross margin for products sales decreased slightly to 29% from 30% the prior year. We have revised the selling prices for our products to pass raw material increases to our customers. We believe that our product sales margin can continue to improve as our increased sales efforts generate additional product orders to take further advantage of manufacturing efficiencies. We believe we currently have sufficient foam product manufacturing equipment and employees to put into affect a substantial increase in production without incurring proportionately equivalent increases in labor costs or manufacturing equipment overheads.



21






In fiscal 2008, we began supplying fill equipment to our customers on a break-even basis to penetrate the tire fill market. Due to some unexpected ancillary expenses, this initiative has cost us $2,545. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we had $540,000 in revenues from the sale of equipment but $556,677 in cost of revenues related to specialized one-of-a-kind pouring equipment sold to Qingdao.  This cost of this equipment also exceeded our estimate due to the unique characteristics of the equipment.  Based on our experience to date, we intend to plan for cost contingencies and change orders when providing customers with equipment quotes on new or specialized equipment.

Gross Profit.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, we had $969,631 of total gross profit compared to $1,043,909 for 2007.  The gross profit related to our closed-cell polyurethane foam products represents $762,177, or 79%, of the total gross profit. The additional gross profit of $207,454 resulted from licensing fees and equipment sales. Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased by $74,277, or 7%, as compared with 2007 due primarily to a decrease in licensing fees and a small decrease in net sales from our closed-cell polyurethane foam products. However, our gross profit margin increased to 34% in 2008 from 31% in 2007 due primarily to the decrease in loss associated with sales of equipment as explained above.  For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009, we believe that the contingency measures relating to equipment costs described above  coupled with an improving consumer market should enable us to increase our product and equipment sales while maintaining the gross margins we experienced during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.  

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, we had $4,141,411 of SG&A expenses, including the amortization of deferred compensation, compared to $4,655,456 for 2007.  As we focused our commercialization efforts, our SG&A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased by $514,045 or 11%, as compared with 2007 due primarily to decreased expenses in the following areas:

-  Approximately $367,000 in payroll and payroll taxes;

-  Approximately $163,000 in sales and marketing expenses;

-  Approximately $102,000 in travel & entertainment not associated with product development and marketing expenses;

The decreases were offset by increases of:

-  Approximately $58,000 in facilities related expenses;

-  Approximately $113,000 for office related expenses; and

-

 Approximately $262,000 in professional fees; and

-  Approximately $105,000 in insurance expenses

In addition to the SG&A expenses listed above, we had deferred compensation, which is primarily related to the grant of options to our employees for the purchase of restricted stock.  We adopted SFAS 123 (R) on July 1, 2005 and as a result, we amortized $370,027 of deferred compensation compared to $783,503 for 2007 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

Research and Development Expenses.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 we had $572,097 of research and development expenses compared to $834,647 for 2007. Our research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased by $262,550, or 31%, as compared with 2007 due primarily to us not have to make significant cash investments in research and development tooling and equipment. We expect research and development expenses to maintain during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009 as we continue to identify and pursue additional applications for our polyurethane technology outside the tire industry.

Consulting Expenses.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 we had $393,392 of consulting expenses compared to $286,274 for 2007.  During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, our consulting expenses increased primarily due to our entering into a consulting agreement with our former Chief Executive Officer, effective



22






September 1, 2007,and a consulting agreement with our former Chief Chemical Systems Formulator, effective May 1, 2008. We incurred $177,779 in consulting expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 due primarily to costs associated with outside consulting services with our marketing and capital raising efforts and on other operational strategies. In additional, we incurred $108,494 in outside consulting expenses associated with our search for a new chief executive officer.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 we had $294,252 of depreciation and amortization expenses compared to $379,127 for 2007.  Our depreciation and amortization expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased by $84,875, or 22%, as compared with 2007 due primarily to no longer expensing fully depreciated assets, partially offset by the depreciation expense for newly acquired assets during the period.

Net Loss.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, we had a net loss of $4,223,424 compared to a net loss of $5,007,822 for 2007.  Our net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 decreased by $784,398 as compared with 2007 due primarily to the reduction in payroll and payroll taxes, sales and marketing, research and development, and other general and administrative expenses partially offset by the increase in professional fees, facilities related expenses, office related expenses, and consulting services.

Year Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2006

Net Revenues.   Sales of our closed-cell polyurethane foam products accounted for 76% of all of our sales revenue during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 we had $2,620,587 of net revenues compared to $2,025,630 for 2006. Net revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 increased by $594,957, or 29%, as compared with 2006 due primarily to a 34% increase in the number of product units sold to our original equipment manufacturer, retail chain and distributor customers through increased sales activities of our sales staff. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we had $35,404 and $12,461 of returns of our products and trade discounts, respectively, compared to $22,814 and $10,410, respectively, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we had $266,667 of revenues derived from licensing fees, or 8% of total net revenues. Also, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we had $540,000 of revenues derived from sales of equipment, or 16% of total net revenues. There were no revenues derived from licensing fees and sales of equipment during the year ended June 30, 2006.

Cost of Revenues.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, our cost of revenues related to our closed-cell polyurethane foam products increased $280,915, or 18%, compared to 2006 due to a substantial increase in product sales.  In 2007, our gross margin increased to 30% from 24% the prior year due primarily to our successful efforts to obtain reduced raw materials pricing.  We obtained reduced raw material pricing during the second half of fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and did not experience material increases in raw material pricing in fiscal 2007. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we had $556,677 in cost of revenues related to specialty pouring equipment supplied to one of our foreign licensees. The cost was greater than the sale price for the equipment quoted by us to our customer, in part because the equipment was unique and had to be custom fabricated. The cost of the equipment exceeded our original estimates due to modification and unexpected expenses incurred during the production of the equipment.   

Gross Profit.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we had $1,043,909 of total gross profit compared to $479,877 for 2006.  The gross profit related to our closed-cell polyurethane foam products represents $793,919, or 76%, of the total gross profit. The additional gross profit of $249,990 resulted from licensing fees and equipment sales. Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 increased by $564,032, or 118%, as compared with 2006 due primarily to the increase in licensing fees and net revenues from our closed-cell polyurethane foam products. Our gross profit margin increased to 30% in 2007 from 24% in 2006 due to the improvement in our closed-cell polyurethane foam product sales margin and the receipt of licensing revenues with no associated cost of sales, offset by a small loss associated with sales of specialty equipment.  During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2008, we believe that the foregoing measures may allow us to maintain the gross margin we experienced during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.  

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we had $4,655,456 of SG&A expenses, including the amortization of deferred compensation, compared to $4,629,023 for



23






2006.  As we focused our commercialization efforts, our SG&A for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 increased by $26,433, or 0.6%, as compared with 2006 due primarily to increased expenses in the following areas:

-  Approximately $191,000 in sales and marketing expenses;

-  Approximately $42,000 in facilities related expenses;

-  Approximately $65,000 in professional fees;

-  Approximately $39,000 in insurance expenses and business taxes; and

-  Approximately $131,000 in directors’ fees and expenses.

The increases were offset by decreases of:

-  Approximately $394,000 in payroll and payroll taxes for existing management personnel;

-  Approximately $142,000 for office related expenses; and

 -  Approximately $24,000 in travel and related expenses not associated with product development and marketing expenses.

In addition to the SG&A expenses listed above, we had deferred compensation, which is primarily related to the grant of options to our employees for the purchase of restricted stock.  We adopted SFAS 123 (R) on July 1, 2005 and as a result, we amortized $783,503 of deferred compensation compared to $664,171 for 2006 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Research and Development Expenses.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 we had $834,647 of research and development expenses compared to $790,877 for 2006.  Our research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 increased by $43,770, or 6%, as compared with 2006 due primarily to research and development of projects using our polyurethane technologies.

Consulting Expenses.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 we had $286,274 of consulting expenses compared to $99,498 for 2006.  We incurred $177,779 in consulting expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 due primarily to costs associated with outside consulting services with our marketing and capital raising efforts and on other operational strategies. In additional, we incurred $108,494 in outside consulting expenses associated with our search for a new chief executive officer.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 we had $379,127 of depreciation and amortization expenses compared to $384,719 for 2006.  Our depreciation and amortization expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased by $5,592, or (2)%, as compared with 2006 due primarily to no longer expensing fully depreciated assets, partially offset by the depreciation expense for newly acquired assets during the period.

Net Loss.  For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we had a net loss of $5,007,822 compared to a net loss of $5,324,240 for 2006.  Our net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 decreased by $320,211 as compared with 2006 due primarily to the increase in the gross profit and reduction in payroll and payroll taxes, partially offset by the increase in sales and marketing expenses and other general and administrative expenses.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash and cash equivalents and payments received from our customers.  We have no long-term liabilities, and we do not have any significant credit arrangements.  Historically, our expenses have exceeded our revenues, resulting in operating losses.  From time to time, we have obtained additional liquidity to fund our operations through the sale of shares of our common stock.  In assessing our



24






liquidity, our management reviews and analyzes our current cash balances on-hand, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, capital expenditure commitments and other obligations.

Net Cash Used By Operating Activities.  Our primary sources of operating cash in fiscal 2008 were receipts from our customers and cash provided by prior year financing activities.  Our primary uses of operating cash are payments made to our vendors, employees and technical consultants. Net cash used by operating activities was $3,776,659 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 compared to $3,406,904 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.  The increase in cash used in operating activities is due primarily to a large increase in other assets (deposits on equipment and project in process), and large decrease accounts payable and accrued expenses. Non-cash items include depreciation and amortization and the issuance of common stock and stock options for services and employee compensation.  Our net loss was $4,223,424 for the year ended June 30, 2008 compared to a net loss of $5,007,822 for the year ended June 30, 2007.  

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities.  Net cash used in investing activities was $310,752 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and $326,273 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Our primary use of investing cash for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 was $101,257 for patents and trademarks and $210,239 for property and equipment. Also, during the year, we received $744 for proceeds from the sale of equipment.  Our primary uses of investing cash for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 were $140,819 for patents and trademarks and $185,454 for property and equipment.  Our only source of cash for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 was receipts from customers. Our primary source of cash for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 was $7,752,295 obtained from the sale of common stock, issuance of common stock for warrants and cash from exercise stock options.  

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities.  There were no financing activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. Financing activities provided net cash of $6,456,104 for the fiscal year ended June  2007.  Of the $6,456,104 in net cash provided by financing activities during 2007, $6,224,416 was associated with the proceeds from our private placement in March and May of 2007; $31,688 in cash proceeds from stock issued for warrants; and the net amount of $200,000 in connection with exercise of stock options.

Cash Position and Outstanding Indebtedness


Our total indebtedness at June 30, 2008 was $333,123 and our total cash and cash equivalents were $1,701,191, none of which is restricted.  Our total indebtedness at June 30, 2008 includes $212,467 in accounts payable and $111,205 in accrued expenses. We have no long-term liabilities.

(1)  In November 2007, we negotiated an extension of the lease for our executive and manufacturing facilities located at 1501 Industrial Road, Boulder City, Nevada.  The property consists of a 49,200 square-foot building, which includes approximately 5,500 square-feet of office space, situated on approximately 4.15 acres.  The extension term of the lease is 5 years expiring November 14, 2012.  The base rent is $24,600 per month subject to annual adjustments based on the consumer price index.


Future Capital Requirements


 At June 30, 2008, we had approximately $1.7 million available to finance our operations plus approximately $495,000 in accounts receivable.  Our cash used in operations for fiscal 2008 was $3,776,659.


In an effort to increase revenues, we have recently expanded our product lines and begun the sale of polyurethane foam tire fill and solid polyurethane elastomer tires. In December 2007, we offered aggressive sales projections based on our assessment of our planned sales initiatives. We believe the increased revenues reported for the current fiscal quarter are only beginning to reflect our progress toward our sales projections, which we anticipate will become more apparent during our fiscal year ending June 30, 2009.


Although we believe that we will successfully implement our business plan to provide for additional revenues to offset operating costs, management cannot give any assurances that it will be able to do so or that we will ever operate profitably.  Our business plan assumes, among other things, that our revenues will increase from the sale of the new product lines, our raw materials expenses may increase, and our expenses from operations will continue at a rate similar to the rate we experienced for year ended June 30, 2008.  


To supplement our cash needs during the 2009 fiscal year, we intend to issue common stock in lieu of cash as compensation for employment, development and other professional services when possible and seek project funding for business and technology development outside our core operations. Until such time as our net income exceeds our expense from operation, we will need additional capital. When necessary, we will seek to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt or equity securities. Our ability to obtain financing through the offer and sale of our securities is subject to market conditions and other factors beyond our control. If we do seek additional capital, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving non-exchange traded contracts.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), Business Combinations, an amendment of SFAS 141, which provides additional guidance on business combinations including defining the acquirer, recognizing and measuring the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. SFAS Nos. 141(R) is scheduled to become effective for us for financial statements issued for fiscal year



26






2009.  We are currently evaluating the effects, if any, that this statement will have on our future financial position, results of operations and operating cash flows.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, which amended ARB 51, to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  SFAS 160 is scheduled to become effective for us for financial statements issued for fiscal year 2009.  We are currently evaluating the effects, if any, that this statement will have on our future financial position, results of operations and operating cash flows.


In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how the instruments are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and how the instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 (fiscal year 2009 for the Company). The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 161 on its disclosures in the Company's financial statements.


In May of 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  This statement identifies literature established by the FASB as the source for accounting principles to be applied by entities which prepare financial statements presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States.  This statement is effective 60 days following approval by the SEC of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  This statement will require no changes in the Company’s financial reporting practices.


In May of 2008 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises”.  This statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation.  This statement also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  This statement has no effect on the Company’s financial reporting at this time.



 ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


We are exposed to changes in prevailing market interest rates affecting the return on our investments but do not consider this interest rate market risk exposure to be material to our financial condition or results of operations.  We invest primarily in United States Treasury instruments with short-term (less than one year) maturities.  The carrying amount of these investments approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities.  Under our current policies, we do not use derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates or commodity prices.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE


There have been no changes in our independent accountants, HJ & Associates, LLC, or disagreements with them on matters of accounting or financial disclosure.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.


As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.


There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING


We are responsible for the preparation and integrity of our published financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and, accordingly, include amounts based on judgments and estimates made by our management. We also prepared the other information included in the annual report and are responsible for its accuracy and consistency with the financial statements.


We are responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal control over financial reporting, which is intended to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the reliability of our financial statements. The system includes but is not limited to:


·

a documented organizational structure and division of responsibility;


·

established policies and procedures, including a code of conduct to foster a strong ethical climate which is communicated throughout the company;


·

regular reviews of our financial statements by qualified individuals; and


·

the careful selection, training and development of our people.


There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Also, the effectiveness of an internal control system may change over time. We have implemented a system of internal control that was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.


We have assessed our internal control system in relation to criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission. Based upon these criteria, we believe that, as of June 30, 2008, our system of internal control over financial reporting was effective.


The independent registered public accounting firm, HJ & Associates, LLC, has audited our 2008 financial statements. HJ & Associates, LLC was given unrestricted access to all financial records and related data, including minutes of all meetings of stockholders, the Board of Directors and committees of the Board. HJ & Associates, LLC has issued an unqualified audit opinion on our 2007 financial statements as a result of the audit and also has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of its internal control over financial reporting which is attached hereto.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTINGN FIRM

ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING


The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Amerityre Corporation

Boulder City, Nevada


We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, that Amerityre Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Amerityre Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company‘s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.


We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.


A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.


In our opinion, management’s assessment that Amerityre Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, Amerityre Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).


We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 2008 financial statements of Amerityre Corporation and our report dated September 15, 2008 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Board of Directors

Amerityre Corporation

Boulder City, Nevada


We have audited the balance sheets of Amerityre Corporation as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provided a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Amerityre Corporation as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2008, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Amerityre Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated September 15, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of Amerityre Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting and an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of Amerityre Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting.

AMERITYRE CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

June 30, 2008 and 2007


NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


a. Organization


Amerityre Corporation, (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 30, 1995, under the name American Tire Corporation. The Company was organized to take advantage of existing proprietary and non-proprietary technology available for the manufacturing of specialty tires. The Company engages in the manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sales of “flatfree” specialty tires and tire-wheel assemblies and currently is manufacturing these tires at its manufacturing facility located in Boulder City, Nevada. During the year ended June 30, 2001, the name of the Company was changed to Amerityre Corporation.


b. Accounting Method


The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a June 30 year-end.


c. Reclassifications


Prior period amounts have been adjusted to conform to the current year presentation. Payroll and payroll taxes and bad debt expense previously included as separate line items are now reclassified to be included in selling, general and administrative expenses.


d. Basic and Fully Diluted Net Loss Per Share


Basis and Fully Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

The Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants have been excluded from the basic net loss per share calculation. The Company excluded 5,527,370, 5,182,370 and 4,398,400 common stock equivalents for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively because they are anti-dilutive.


e. Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


f. Income Taxes


Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of June 30, 2008 and 2007:

At June 30, 2008, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $41,000,000 that may be offset against future taxable income from the year 2007 through 2028. No tax benefit has been reported in the June 30, 2008 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount. Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.


The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and in Utah.  With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax

authorities for years before 2003. The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

g. Inventory


Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (computed on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. The cost of finished goods includes the cost of raw material, direct and indirect labor, and other indirect manufacturing costs. The inventory consists of chemicals, finished goods produced in the Company’s plant and products purchased for resale.

We had an inventory reserve amount of $21,312 and $14,711 recorded as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for items that have a slow turnover ratio.


h. Property and Equipment


Property and equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for small tools, ordinary maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Major additions and improvements are capitalized. When we retire or dispose of assets, the costs and accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the respective accounts and we recognize any related gain or loss. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Major replacements that substantially extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized and depreciated. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives as follows:


Leasehold improvements

5 years, or over lease term

Equipment

5 to 10 years

Furniture and fixtures

7 years

Automobiles

5 years

Software

3 years


Depreciation expense for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $272,614, $355,918 and $359,205, respectively.


i. Revenue Recognition


Revenue for products is recognized when the sales amount is determined, shipment of goods to the customer has occurred and collection is reasonably assured. Generally, we ship all of our products FOB origination. License fee revenue is recognized as earned, and no revenue is recognized until the inception of the license term.


j. Patents and Trademarks


Patent and trademark costs have been capitalized at June 30, 2008, totaling $765,784 with accumulated amortization of $107,250 for a net book value of $658,534. Patent and trademark costs capitalized at June 30, 2007 totaled $664,527 with accumulated amortization of $85,612 for a net book value of $578,915. The patents which have been granted are being amortized over a period of 20 years. Patents which are pending or are being developed are not being amortized. Amortization will begin once the patents have been issued. Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $21,638, $23,209 and $25,514, respectively. The Company evaluates the recoverability of intangibles and reviews the amortization period on a continual basis utilizing the guidance of SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Several factors are used to evaluate intangibles, including, but not limited to, management’s plans for future operations, recent operating results and projected, undiscounted cash flows.

Notes to the Financial Statements

June 30, 2008 and 2007


NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)


j. Patents and Trademarks (continued)


The estimated amortization expense, based on current intangible balances, for the next fiscal years beginning July 1, 2008 is as follows:

$19,705

2010

$18,719

2011

$17,790

2012

$16,900

$16,200


k. Advertising


The Company follows the policy of charging the costs of advertising to expense as incurred.  Advertising expense for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $117,169, $160,980 and $159,328, respectively.


l. Stock Based-Compensation Expense


On July 1, 2005, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.  (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payments to employees and directors including employee stock options and stock purchases related to the Company’s employee stock option and award plans based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123 (R) supersedes our previous accounting under Accounting Principles Board Option No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB25”) for periods beginning in fiscal 2006. In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123 (R). We have applied the provisions of SAB 107 in our adoption of SFAS 123 (R).


We adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of July 1, 2005, the first day of our fiscal year 2006. Our financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2007 and 2008 reflect the impact of SFAS 123 (R). Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123 (R) for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $370,027, $783,503 and $664,171, respectively, and related to employee stock options issued during those fiscal years.


SFAS 123 (R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our Statement of Operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123 (R), we accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). Under the intrinsic value method, no stock-based compensation expense had been recognized in our Statement of Operations because the exercise price of the stock options granted to employees and directors equaled the fair market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant.


Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during the period. At June 30, 2005, we had no unvested share-based payment awards for which compensation expense should be recognized during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, 2007, and 2008. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our Statements of Operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2007 and 2008 only include compensation expense for share-based payment awards granted, but not yet vested after July 1, 2005, and are based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with SFAS 123 (R).

l. Stock Based-Compensation Expense (continued)


Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our Statements of Operations for fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, 2007 and 2008 assume all awards will vest, therefore no reduction has been made for estimated forfeitures.


m. Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In May of 2008 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 163, “Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 60, Accounting and Reporting by Insurance Enterprises”.  This statement requires that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event of default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has occurred in an insured financial obligation.  This statement also clarifies how Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  This statement has no effect on the Company’s financial reporting at this time.


In May of 2008, the FASB issued Statement No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  This statement identifies literature established by the FASB as the source for accounting principles to be applied by entities which prepare financial statements presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States.  This statement is effective 60 days following approval by the SEC of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.”  This statement will require no changes in the Company’s financial reporting practices.


In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS No. 161"). SFAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how the instruments are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and how the instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The guidance in SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 (fiscal year 2009 for the Company). The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 161 on its disclosures in the Company's financial statements.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations.  SFAS 141(R) replaces SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, but retains the requirement that the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions be used for all business combinations. SFAS 141(R) expands on the disclosures previously required by SFAS 141, better defines the acquirer and the acquisition date in a business combination, and establishes principles for recognizing and measuring the assets acquired (including goodwill), the liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interests in the acquired business. SFAS 141(R) also requires an acquirer to record an adjustment to income tax expense for changes in valuation allowances or uncertain tax positions related to acquired businesses. SFAS 141(R) is effective for all business combinations with an acquisition date in the first annual period following December 15, 2008; early adoption is not permitted. We do not expect SFAS No. 141(R) to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.


In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements-an amendment of ARB No. 51.  SFAS 160 requires that non-controlling (or minority) interests in subsidiaries be reported in the equity section of the company’s balance sheet, rather than in a mezzanine section of the balance sheet between liabilities and equity. SFAS 160 also changes the manner in which the net income of the subsidiary is reported and disclosed in the controlling company’s income statement. SFAS 160 also establishes guidelines for accounting for changes in ownership percentages and for deconsolidation. SFAS 160 is effective for financial

statements for fiscal years beginning on or after December 1, 2008 and interim periods within those years; early adoption is not permitted. We do not expect SFAS 160 to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.


n. Shipping and Handling


We follow Emerging Issues Task Force Statement No. 00-10, “Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs”, which requires that freight costs charged to customers be classified as revenues. Freight expenses are included in costs of sales.


o.

Trade Receivables


We generally charge-off trade receivables that are more than 120 days outstanding as bad-debt expense, unless management believes the amount to be collectable. The charge-off amounts are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.  During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 we recouped a net of $8,086 in bad debt expenses previously charged in prior fiscal years. As a result, bad debt expense was $(7,897), $(1,965), and $211 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.


p. Equity Securities


Equity securities issued for services rendered have been accounted for at the fair market value of the securities on the date of authorization.


q. Concentrations of Risk


The Company maintains several accounts with financial institutions. The accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000. The Company’s balances exceeded that amount by approximately $1,601,191, $5,688,000 and $2,965,000 as of June 30, 2008, 2007, and 2006 respectively.


Credit losses, if any, have been provided for in the financial statements and are based on management’s expectations. The Company’s accounts receivable are subject to potential concentrations of credit risk. The Company does not believe that it is subject to any unusual risks, or significant risks in the normal course of its business.


We have one customer who accounted for 20%, 20%, and 23% of our sales for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.


r. Valuation of Options and Warrants


The valuation of options and warrants granted to unrelated parties for services are measured as of the earlier of (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instrument is reached, or (2) the date the counterparty’s performance is complete. Pursuant to the requirements of EITF 96-18, the options and warrants will continue to be revalued in situations where they are granted prior to the completion of the performance.

s. Cash and Cash Equivalents


We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.


t. Liquidity


Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have historically incurred significant losses which have resulted in a total retained deficit of $51,019,321 at June 30, 2008.  Although for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2006, 2007 and 2008, we have losses from operations and have used cash in our operating activities in excess of our revenues, we have had little, if any, debt and have consistently had a positive net tangible book value. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2008, we have analyzed our cash needs for fiscal 2009. Based on this analysis, we concluded that our available cash will not be sufficient to meet our current working capital, capital expenditure and other cash requirements for fiscal 2009. In order to fully implement our business plan we believe we will need additional capital. We may seek to raise additional capital through the issuance of debt or equity securities. In June 2006, we filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The shelf registration statement, which was declared effective in July 2006, would allow us to offer common stock, preferred stock, warrants, senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities or any combination of any of these securities in one or more offerings at an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $120,000,000. Our ability to obtain financing through the offer and sale of our securities is subject to market conditions and other factors beyond our control. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all.



NOTE 2 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


In October 2002, we entered into a five-year lease for a 49,200 square foot executive/manufacturing facility in Boulder City, Nevada. The agreement required a security deposit of $18,000 and monthly rent payments of $16,000 for the first twelve months with annual increases. In November 2007, we negotiated an extension of the lease for our rent for an additional 5 years expiring November 14, 2012. The base rent is $24,600 per month subject to annual adjustments based on the consumer price index.


In September 2007, we entered an agreement with Richard A. Steinke, our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to provide technology consulting in exchange for an annual consulting fee of $250,000 with a potential cash performance bonus of up to 50% of his annual consulting fees based on our meeting or exceeding certain financial and strategic performance targets. The consulting agreement expires August 31, 2009.


In May 2008, we entered an agreement with J. Manual Chacon, our former Chief Chemical Systems Formulator, to provide advice and services in developing technologies related to manufacture polyurethane closed-cell foam and other products in exchange for an annual consulting fee of $150,000.

NOTE 3 – STOCK TRANSACTIONS


During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company had the following stock transactions:


On August 13, 2007, we negotiated an amendment to the employment agreement for Richard A. Steinke, our former President and Chief Executive Officer wherein we amended the terms for compensation to provide as follows: for services provided by Mr. Steinke during the remaining term of the employment agreement (July 1, 2006 through August 31, 2007), we issued a stock award of 25,000 shares of our common stock valued at $100,500, based on a price of $4.02 per share (the closing price per share as quoted on the NASDAQ Capital Markets on August 7, 2007) in lieu of shares of our common stock valued at $200,000 as called for under the terms of the original employment agreement.

In May 2008, we approved the issuance of 11,172 shares of our restricted common stock to certain officers as compensation for their services. The shares were valued at $19,998 or $1.79 per share.


NOTE 4 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS


General Option Information


During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 we issued options to acquire an aggregate of 375,000 shares of our common stock to certain employees in connection with their employment (the “Employment Options”).  In addition, we issued options to acquire an aggregate of 150,000 shares of our common stock to certain consultants for services. The exercise price for the options granted during the year 2008 range from $1.79 to $4.04 per share.

NOTE 4 – STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (Continued)


We use the Black-Scholes model to value stock options. The Black-Scholes model requires the use of employee exercise behavior data and the use of a number of assumptions including volatility of our stock price, the weighted average risk-free interest rate, and the weighted average expected life of the options. Because we do not pay dividends, the dividend rate variable in the Black-Scholes model is zero. We estimated the fair value of the stock options at the grant date based on the following weighted average assumptions:

Effective September 1, 2007, Dr. Gary N. Benninger assumed the responsibilities of Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Richard A. Steinke stepped down as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors to assume a new role as the Company’s chief technology consultant.  Louis M. Haynie, a member of our Board of Directors since July 1997, was appointed Chairman of the Board.


Dr. Benninger, who has been our Chief Operating Officer since October 2005, was appointed President in June 2007.  In connection with Dr. Benninger taking on the responsibilities as our Chief Executive Officer, we have entered into a new employment agreement that includes a base salary of $300,000 per year, with a potential cash performance bonus of up to 100% of his base salary based on the Company meeting or exceeding certain financial performance targets.  The agreement also includes an award of 150,000 options for the purchase of shares of our common stock exercisable at $4.04 per share for five years, with 50,000 of the options vesting on August 31, 2008 and 100,000 vesting on August 31, 2009.


In August 2007, we negotiated an amendment to the employment agreement for Richard A. Steinke, our former President and Chief Executive Officer wherein we amended the terms for compensation to provide as follows: (1) for  services rendered during the first year of the employment agreement, Mr. Steinke received a stock award of 30,303 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $200,000, based on a price of $6.60 per share (the closing price per share as quoted on the over-the-counter market on July 8, 2005; (2) for  services provided by Mr. Steinke during the remaining term of the employment agreement (July 1, 2006 through August 31, 2007), the Company issued a stock award of 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $100,500, based on a price of $4.02 per share (the closing price per share as quoted on the NASDAQ Capital Markets on August 7, 2007); and (3) for  services rendered by Mr. Steinke during the remaining term of the employment agreement, the Company paid Mr. Steinke  an additional cash payment of $50,000.  Beginning September 1, 2007, Mr. Steinke will provide technology consulting to the Company in exchange for an annual consulting fee of $250,000 with a potential cash performance bonus of up to 50% of his annual consulting fees based on our meeting or exceeding certain financial and strategic performance targets. In addition, Mr. Steinke was granted an option to acquire 100,000 shares of our common stock at $4.03 per share, with 50,000 of the options vesting on August 31, 2008 and 50,000 vesting on August 31, 2009.  The consulting agreement expires August 31, 2009.


In April 2008, we hired Michael J. Kapral and entered into an employment agreement that includes a base salary of $150,000 per year, with a potential cash performance bonus of up to 50% of his base salary based on the Company meeting or exceeding certain financial performance targets.
