AMERITYRE CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

March 31, 2007 (unaudited) and June 30, 2006


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION


The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations.  The information furnished in the interim condensed financial statements includes normal recurring adjustments and reflects all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of such financial statements.  We believe the disclosures and information presented are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our most recent audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our June 30, 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2007.


NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Stock Based-Compensation Expense


On July 1, 2005, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (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 Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” 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 nine month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R).  Stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $576,195 and $491,035, respectively, related to employee stock options issued during the respective periods.


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. Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our Statements of Operations for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 assumes all awards will vest, therefore no reduction has been made for estimated forfeitures.


Basic and Fully Diluted Net Loss Per Share


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

We excluded 4,115,000 and 4,190,000 common stock equivalents from the basic and fully diluted net loss per share calculation for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, because they are antidilutive.





AMERITYRE CORPORATION

Notes to the Financial Statements

March 31, 2007 (unaudited) and June 30, 2006


NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued


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 $45,741,491 at March 31, 2007.  Although for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and 2006, 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 we have analyzed our cash needs for fiscal 2007.  To address potential liquidity issues we have recently raised additional capital through the private placement of our common stock. During April and May 2007, we raised net offering proceeds of approximately $6.66 million. Based on this financing we believe that our cash on hand will be adequate to meet our current working capital, capital expenditure and other cash requirements for the next 12 months.


NOTE 3 - STOCK OPTIONS


General Option Information


During the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, we granted 55,000 options. During the nine month period ended March 31, 2006, we granted options to acquire an aggregate of 775,000 shares of our common stock to certain employees in connection with their employment (the “Employment Options”). The Employment Options granted during the nine month period ended March 31, 2006 vest annually over a period of one to three years based on the employee’s continued employment. The exercise price for the Employment Options granted during the period ranged from $5.36 to $6.60 per share.  Of the 775,000 Employee Options outstanding at March 31, 2006, during the three month period ended March 31, 2007, we cancelled 100,000 unvested Employment Options. 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:

NOTE 7 – SIGNIFICANT EVENTS


In October 2006, we gave our landlord notice that we intend to exercise our option to purchase the building and related real property located at 1501 Industrial Road for the purchase price of $2,600,000, pursuant to an option to purchase the property contained in our lease agreement. We provided an earnest money deposit of $25,000, which was returned to us because we did not obtain adequate financing prior to the February 15, 2007 closing date.  Subsequent to March 31, 2007, we completed a private placement of our common stock and raised sufficient funds to proceed with the proposed acquisition of the property, subject to negotiating acceptable terms for the purchase. 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.  We will continue to pay the monthly lease amount of $18,500 until we can complete the proposed acquisition.


On January 17, 2007, our Board of Directors announced a transition plan for the replacement of our current Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Richard Steinke. Mr. Steinke will step down as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer effective October 1, 2007. Upon stepping down as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Steinke will become our full-time technology consultant. The terms for Mr. Steinke's consulting agreement will be negotiated prior to his stepping down.

In connection with the transition, Kenneth C. Johnsen was unanimously reappointed to the Board of Directors and resigned as our President.  Mr. Johnsen will be responsible for finalizing a consulting agreement with Mr. Steinke and will continue to work directly with Mr. Steinke in advancing our business strategies and completing key projects.

On January 17, 2007, our Board of Directors also announced that Elliott N. Taylor, the Company’s Chief Administrative Officer, Executive Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel was returning to the private practice of law.  Effective March 16, 2007, Mr. Taylor is serving as the Company’s outside legal counsel.






ITEM 2. 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” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2006. 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

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 constructed of 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, and more durable and more fuel efficient than existing rubber tires.

Within the overall tire market, we have chosen to focus our immediate attention and resources on the specialty tire segment.  We believe industries that rely upon specialty tires, such as mining, materials handling, construction, agriculture and forestry, are well suited to benefit from our polyurethane technologies due to their severe operating conditions, the high cost of tire failure and current tire shortages.

With respect to our polyurethane passenger car tire technology, we have successfully completed testing for Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (“FMVSS”) 109 (the current U.S. safety standard for new pneumatic passenger car tires) and completed significant portions of FMVSS 139 (the pending U.S. safety standard) testing on our Arcus® run-flat tire design.  Successfully completed components of the testing to date include bead unseating, tire strength and the strenuous high speed component.  We are now working on the remaining endurance component of the testing protocol and management believes that we are on track to complete that testing successfully.  


We are pursuing a commercialization strategy that includes expanding our existing manufacturing capacity as well as transferring our technology to strategic partners consisting of industry leading tire manufacturers and users of specialty tires.  We currently have the capacity to produce up to 2,000,000 closed-cell foam or solid, ElastothaneTM (non-pneumatic) polyurethane tires per year at our Boulder City, Nevada facility.  We have devoted resources to strengthen and expand our sales and marketing efforts for these products.  We are also developing a program to introduce a lightweight polyurethane foam tire fill material.


We may construct and operate, either by ourselves or with a strategic partner, a manufacturing facility that would give us the ability to retread off the road (“OTR”) tires using ElastothaneTM.  Depending on the success of our ongoing discussions with potential strategic partners, we may determine that it is unnecessary for us to undertake the construction and operation of a facility ourselves.  Our ability to build and operate such a facility without a partner is limited by our current financial resources and therefore would be subject to obtaining adequate financing.

 

We also intend to commercialize our ElastothaneTM tire products, including medium commercial truck retreads, Arcus® pneumatic and non-pneumatic tires, by transferring our technology to strategic partners through licensing agreements, co-development projects and the sale of equipment and our proprietary chemical formulations.  We are in the process of testing our polyurethane elastomer material for specialty tire applications with a specialty tire manufacturer. We are benchmarking the performance characteristics of our proprietary polyurethane materials and evaluating specific commercial applications in which the materials can potentially serve as a replacement for rubber. However, additional work and testing is still required.


We intend to commercialize our polyurethane technologies through licensing agreements, co-development

projects and the sale of equipment, chemical formulations and tire products to strategic partners consisting of





industry leading tire manufacturers and users of specialty tires.  We expect these strategic relationships to result in revenue opportunities for Amerityre as well as further development of polyurethane technologies.


Recent Developments


We are currently engaged in discussions with a major foreign conglomerate (the “Potential Transaction Party”) regarding a potential strategic relationship. We have discussed with the Potential Transaction Party the general terms for jointly developing a polyurethane passenger car tire. It is anticipated that the proposed joint development agreement would include provisions for: (a) us to design and engineer the tooling to manufacture a radial polyurethane passenger car tire based on the tire specifications and tread design provided by the Potential Transaction Party; (b) the Potential Transaction Party to provide the tooling necessary to manufacture the radial polyurethane passenger car tire; and (c) us to manufacture a sufficient quantity of radial polyurethane passenger car tires so that we can complete safety testing required under FMVSS 109 and the Potential Transaction Party can complete safety testing required under the applicable foreign jurisdiction. Each party would bear its own costs for the development and testing.  The general time frame under discussion for completion of the joint development program is to be approximately five (5) to six (6) months from execution.


In addition to the joint development project outlined above, our discussions with the Potential Transaction Party have included the potential sale by us to the Potential Transaction Party of shares of common stock representing a 50% post-transaction equity interest.  The proposed equity ownership is subject to further due diligence by the Potential Transaction Party and the negotiation of definitive terms for the transaction, including the purchase price for the shares of common stock and the negotiation of a definitive agreement.  In addition to the acquisition of the 50% post-transaction equity interest in the Company, the Potential Transaction Party would have the right, but not the obligation, to maintain its 50% ownership interest going forward.


The proposed equity ownership transaction would also require approval of our shareholders to increase our authorized capital stock and comply with NASDAQ requirements. We cannot predict whether our discussions with the Potential Transaction Party will ultimately result in a transaction or series of transactions. Further, even if agreements are reached, the terms of any such agreements could differ significantly from the proposed terms identified above.  


Factors Affecting Results of Operations

While the sale of polyurethane foam tires to original equipment manufacturers, distributors and retail stores accounts for almost all of our revenue at this time, ElastothaneTM and the technology to produce tires using this proprietary formulation are significant to our potential future growth.  Our business model provides for a diversified revenue stream.  We intend to generate revenue through license agreements relating to the use of our patented manufacturing methods and systems; the sale of specialty equipment; the sale of proprietary chemical systems; the sale of a select number of finished tire products; and contract research and development services.  

Historically, our expenses have exceeded our revenues. In each of these periods, our expenses consisted primarily of the following:

·

Cost of revenues, 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 for advisory services related to capital raising and operational strategies;

·

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.  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 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.


Valuation of Intangible Assets and Goodwill


At March 31, 2007, we had capitalized patent and trademark costs, net of accumulated amortization expenses, totaling $575,484.  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, 2006, 2005 and 2004 was $25,514, $30,847 and $1,309, 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” for periods 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 nine month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R).  Stock based compensation expense recognized under SFAS 123(R) for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 was $576,195 and $491,035, respectively, related to employee stock options issued during the respective periods.

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.  Stock-based compensation expense recognized in our Statement of Operations for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 assumes all awards will vest, therefore, no reduction has been made for estimated forfeitures.

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:

·

Net revenues, which consists of sales revenues and license fees;

·

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 revenues 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 three and nine month periods ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 with respect to certain key financial measures.  The comparisons illustrated in the table are discussed in greater detail below.

Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to March 31, 2006

Net revenues.   Sales of our closed-cell polyurethane foam products accounted for all but $75,000 of our net revenues during the three month period ended March 31, 2007. The $75,000 was derived from fees received from third-party licensees for use of our technology. For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, we had $723,717 of net revenues compared to $566,237 for the same period for 2006.  Net revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 increased by $157,480 or 28%, as compared with 2006 due to a combination of licensee fees, and an increase in the number of product units sold. During the three month period ended March 31, 2007, we had $15,611 and $3,198 of returns of our products and trade discounts, respectively, compared to $12,783 and $1,618, respectively, for the same period in 2006.

Cost of revenues.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, our total cost of revenues was $457,269, or 63% of net revenues, compared to $432,749, or 76% of net revenues for the same period in 2006.  Excluding $75,000 of licensee revenue with no associated cost of revenues, our cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 70% of net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007, as compared with the same period in 2006. The reduction in our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was the result of our increased sales efforts generating additional product orders to take advantage of manufacturing efficiencies.  We believe we currently have sufficient foam product manufacturing equipment and employees to accomplish a substantial increase in production without incurring a proportionately equivalent increase in labor costs.

Gross Profit.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, we had $266,448 of gross profit compared to $133,488 for the same period in 2006.  Gross profit for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, increased by $132,960, or 100%, over the same period in 2006 due primarily to the increase in net revenues, $75,000 of which was attributable to the additional revenue related to third-party license fees.  Our gross profit margin increased to





37% in 2007 from 24% for the same period in 2006.  The increase in our gross profit for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2006 was the result of the additional revenues derived from third-party license fees, combined with an increase in product sales.  During the balance of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, we believe that the foregoing factors will allow us to maintain our gross margin consistent with the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, we had $1,363,544 of selling, general and administrative expenses, including the amortization of deferred compensation, compared to $1,486,192 for the same period in 2006.  Our selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased slightly during the three month period ended March 31, 2007, due primarily to a decrease in payroll and payroll taxes, travel expenses, and general office expenses. The decrease was offset by the increase in sales and markets advertising expenses and amortization of deferred compensation. We amortized $241,504 of deferred compensation for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 compared to $173,136 for same period in 2006.  We anticipate that selling, general and administrative expenses for the balance of the 2007 fiscal year will be consistent with the three months ended March 31, 2007.

Research and Development Expenses.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, we had $173,177 of research and development expenses compared to $108,560 for the same period in 2006.  Our research and development expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2007, increased by $64,618, or 60%, as compared with the same period in 2006 due primarily to an increase in outside testing services and the hiring of additional research and development technicians during the period.  We expect research and development expenses to increase approximately 20% during the balance of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007 as we identify and pursue research and development projects of additional applications for our polyurethane technology outside the tire industry.

Consulting Expenses.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, we incurred $150,162 of expenses for outside consulting services associated with our marketing and capital raising efforts and on various other operational strategies. In additional, we incurred $108,494 in outside consulting expenses associated with assisting us on our search for a new chief executive officer.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2007 we had $92,772 of depreciation and amortization expenses compared to $97,859 for the same period in 2006.  Our depreciation and amortization expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 decreased slightly compared to the same period in 2006.

Net Loss.  For the three month period ended March 31, 2007, we had a net loss of $1,505,091 compared to a net loss of $1,520,118 for the same period in 2006.  Our net loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2007 decreased slightly by $15,027 as compared with the same period in 2006. The most significant increase was the increase in consulting services and research and development expenses. The increase in expenses was offset by the increase in the gross profit margin and the decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2007.

Nine Month Period Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to March 31, 2006

Net revenues.   Sales of our closed-cell polyurethane foam products accounted for all but $191,667 of our net revenues during the nine month period ended March 31, 2007. The $191,667 was derived from fees received from third-party licensees for use of our technology. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, we had $1,956,045 of net revenues compared to $1,304,461 for the same period for 2006.  Net revenues for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007 increased by $651,584, or 50%, as compared with 2006 due to a combination of licensee fees, an increase in the number of product units sold and an increase in product pricing effected during the period. During the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, we had $29,503 and $9,689 of returns of our products and trade discounts, respectively, compared to $22,056 and $6,278, respectively, for the same period in 2006.

Cost of revenues.  For the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, our total cost of revenues was $1,244,468, or 64% of net revenues, compared to $1,045,530, or 80% of net revenues for the same period in 2006.  Excluding $191,667 of licensee revenue with no associated cost of revenues, our cost of revenues as a percentage of net revenues decreased to 71% of net revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2007, as compared with the same period in 2006. The reduction in our cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues was a result of increased pricing for our products and reduced pricing obtained on chemical raw materials and wheel components.  We believe that our cost of revenues can 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 accomplish a substantial increase in production without incurring a proportionately equivalent increase in labor costs.

Gross Profit.  For the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, we had $711,577 of gross profit compared to $258,931 for the same period in 2006.  Gross profit for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007 increased by $452,646 or 175%, over same period in 2006 due primarily to the increase in net revenues and the additional revenue related to third-party license fees.  Our gross profit margin increased to 36% in 2007 from 20% for the same period in 2006.  The increase in our gross profit for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, as compared to the nine month period ended March 31, 2006, was the result of 10% of net revenues derived from third-party license fees, combined with an increase in product pricing and increased product sales.  During the balance of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, we believe that the foregoing factors will allow us to maintain our gross margin consistent with the nine months ended March 31, 2007.

Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses.  For the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, we had $3,509,312 of selling, general and administrative expenses, including the amortization of deferred compensation, compared to $3,512,532 for the same period in 2006.  Our selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007 slightly decreased by $3,220, or 0.1%, as compared with the same period in 2006, due primarily to significant decreases in office and facility expenses, but off-set by increases in sales and marketing, directors fees, executive personnel, outside consulting, insurance and amortized expenses for employee stock options. We anticipate that SG&A for the balance of the 2007 fiscal year will be consistent with the nine months ended March 31, 2007.

Research and Development Expenses.  For the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, we had $629,655 of research and development expenses compared to $496,768 for the same period in 2006.  Our research and development expenses for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, increased by $132,887, or 27%, as compared with the same period in 2006 due primarily to an increase in outside testing services and the hiring of additional research and development technicians during the period.  We expect research and development expenses to increase slightly during the balance of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007 as we identify and pursue research and development projects of additional applications for our polyurethane technology outside the tire industry.

Consulting Expenses.  For the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, we incurred $286,274 in expenses for outside consulting services associated with our marketing and capital raising efforts and on various other operational strategies. We incurred $99,498 in outside consulting expenses for the same period in 2006.

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses.  For the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, we had $286,756 of depreciation and amortization expenses compared to $278,988 for the same period in 2006.  Our depreciation and amortization expenses for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007 increased by $7,768, or 3%, compared to the same period in 2006, due to the addition of newly acquired assets during the period.

Net Loss.  For the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, we had a net loss of $3,953,416 compared to a net loss of $4,063,836 for the same period in 2006.  Our net loss for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007 decreased by $110,420 as compared with the same period in 2006, due primarily to the increase in the gross profit margin for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007. The increase in the gross profit margin was offset by the increase in outside consulting services and research and development expenses. Net loss for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007 included non-cash expenses of $576,195 for stock-based compensation related to employee stock options and $286,756 for amortization and depreciation 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 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 source of operating cash during the nine month period ended March 31, 2007 was receipts from our customers and proceeds from the sale of common stock.  Our primary uses of operating cash are payments made to our vendors and employees.

During the nine month period ended March 31, 2006, financing activities provided net cash of $5,196,722, received in proceeds from the sale of common stock and proceeds from the issuance of common stock on the exercise of outstanding options for cash.


Cash Position and Outstanding Indebtedness


Our total indebtedness at March 31, 2007 was $954,489 and our total cash and cash equivalents were $3,338,597, none of which is restricted.  Our total indebtedness at March 31, 2007 includes $405,758 in accounts payable, $303,398 in accrued expenses, primarily consisting of legal and consulting expenses, and $245,333 in deferred revenue, primarily consisting of pre-paid license and equipment sales fees. We have no long-term liabilities.

(1)  In October 2002, we leased 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 term of the lease is five years expiring October 14, 2007, subject to our right to purchase the property.







Future Capital Requirements


We believe our cash on hand will be adequate to meet our current working capital, capital expenditure, and other cash requirements for the next 12 months. However, to fully implement our business plan, we may need additional capital. If additional capital is required, we will seek to raise the 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. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain financing on favorable terms or at all.


 Although we believe that we will successfully implement our business plan, 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 selling, general and administrative expenses will continue at a rate similar to the rate we experienced for the nine month period ended March 31, 2007, that we will not experience a material decline in our product pricing, and that we will not experience a material increase in our customer bad debt.  Subsequent to March 31, 2007, we completed a private placement of our common stock and raised sufficient funds to proceed with the proposed acquisition of our manufacturing facility, which we currently lease, subject to negotiating acceptable terms for the purchase.

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 September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 108 which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB No. 108 is effective for us as of January 1, 2007. We are currently evaluating the impact of SAB No. 108, if any, on our financial statements


Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements  (“SFAS 157”), defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008. We do not expect SFAS 157 to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (“SFAS 158”), improves financial reporting by requiring an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income.  SFAS 158 will not have an impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flow.


ITEM 3. 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 4. 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.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


We are involved in legal proceedings in the normal course of our business that we do not expect to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.  

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

For information regarding risk factors, see “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.


ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS


Effective May 2, 2007, we completed the private placement of our securities in the form of units (the “Units”) at a price of $14 per Unit for an aggregate purchase price of $3,850,000. Each Unit consists of four (4) shares of common stock and two (2) warrants to purchase one share of common stock, exercisable for two years at an exercise price of $4.50 per share.  We sold an aggregate of 275,000 Units, or 1,100,000 shares and 550,000 warrants. The net proceeds we received from the private placement were approximately $3,100,000, after deducting placement agent commissions and expenses. The expenses associated with the private placement included reimbursement of certain expenses incurred by our placement agent over the past 12 months, as well as commissions attributable to certain prior fund raising activities by us that were payable only upon the completion of the private placement.

The securities underlying the Units are subject to registration rights.  We are obligated to file a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) not later than 15 days after the closing date of the offering and to use our best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 60 days after the closing date or, if earlier, within five business days after we are notified that the registration statement will not be reviewed or is no longer subject to further review and comment by the Commission.     If the registration is not filed or declared effective by the respective deadlines, we will be obligated to pay liquidated damages at the rate of one percent of the aggregate purchase price of the Units each month until the failure is cured. We will bear all of the expenses of the registration.  

Effective April 2, 2007, we completed the private placement of our securities in the form of units (the “Units”) at a price of $14 per Unit for total offering proceeds of $3,662,036. Each Unit consists of four (4) shares of common stock and two (2) warrants for the purchase of common stock, exercisable for two years at an exercise price of $4.50 per share.  We sold an aggregate of 261,574 Units, or 1,046,296 shares and 523,148 warrants. We have agreed to pay a fee of $150,000 to an unrelated third party in connection with the sale of the Units. The securities underlying the Units are subject to registration rights.  We are obligated to use our best efforts to file a registration statement registering the securities underlying the Units sold with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) not later than 45 days after the closing date of the offering and to use our best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective within 120 days after the closing date (if there are no comments from





the Commission) or 180 days (if comments are received from the Commission).  We will bear all of the expenses of the registration.

We have the right to redeem the warrants beginning 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement, if at any time following the effective date, the average closing bid price for the common stock in the over-the-counter market is at least $4.95 per share for the 20 consecutive trading day period ending not more than 15 days prior to notice of redemption of the warrants. Our right to redeem the warrants requires us to give the holders written notice of redemption of not less than 30 days, and is subject to the right of the holders of the warrants to exercise the same in accordance with the terms of the warrants during the redemption period.  The redemption price of the warrants is $0.10 per share.

We believe the offer and sale of the securities described above were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), for the private placement of these securities pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D thereunder because the securities were sold in a transaction not involving a public offering.
