Company Background

Scorpion Performance, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Florida company established on December 17, 1999, for the initial purpose of manufacturing high-grad rocker arms for high performance automobiles. From rocker arms, we expanded our product line to include lifters, pushrods, valves, valve springs, valve train stabilizers, throttle bodies, fuel rail kits and a variety of lubricants. We currently design and manufacture a variety of branded and private label high performance engine valve train products and related components for automotive and marine original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, and the related after-market. We also provide assembly services and sell products through our retail sales divisions, Scorpion Racing Products, with a corresponding e-commerce web site.

We have also developed other manufacturing and service capabilities to enhance our automotive parts business which includes Anodize, our in-house anodizing services to produce high-end finished products for a variety of uses in the automotive and other industries.

We have also developed other manufacturing and service companies to augment our engine parts business which include Scorpion Medical Technologies, a medical device company which will manufacture non-FDA regulated components and assemblies for the medical industry; and World Waste Management, a composting and waste management machine company.

Active Subsidiaries

Anodize, LLC - In January 2004, we acquired 100% of the ownership interests in Anodize, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, through which we offer private label anodizing services under the trade name “Anodize” as well as anodize our own products.

Scorpion Racing Products, Inc. — In June 2008, the Company reactivated Scorpion Racing, Inc. and changed its name to Scorpion Racing Products, Inc, to market and distribute its expanded line of related racing products including valves, pushrods, lifters and fuel rails.

Scorpion Medical Technologies, LLC – The Company formed Scorpion Medical Technologies, LLC October 2008 to commercialize an emerging line of medical devices.

SCORPION PERFORMANCE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS (Continued)

Scorpion Real Estate Investments of Broward County, LLC; Scorpion Real Estate Investments of Marion County, LLC; and Scorpion Real Estate of Marion County, LLC - In June 2007, the Company formed Scorpion Real Estate Investments of Broward County, LLC, a Florida limited liability company that holds title to the Company’s original Ft Lauderdale facility and Scorpion Real Estate Investments of Marion County, LLC which holds title to the Company’s primary Ocala facility. Scorpion Real Estate of Marion County, LLC was formed in March 2010 to hold title to the property adjacent to the Company’s primary Ocala facility.

World Waste Management, LLC - a Florida limited liability company, formed in May 2006. Through this subsidiary we intend to develop a biofuel product and are evaluating possible commercial applications of the technology. We are currently testing prototypes of the “Stable Mate”, an environmentally friendly compacting machine that compresses and sanitarily bales horse manure using a process that will allow us to convert the organic manure into an alternative fuel source. We anticipate that the products and processes contemplated by the operations of this subsidiary will be commercially viable within the next year.

NOTE 2. – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Scorpion Performance, Inc., and its wholly owned active operating subsidiaries Anodize, LLC, Scorpion Real Estate Investments of Broward County, LLC, Scorpion Real Estate Investments of Marion County, LLC, Scorpion Real Estate of Marion County, LLC, Scorpion Racing Products, Inc., Scorpion Medical Technologies, LLC and World Waste Management, LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements are prepared using the accrual basis of accounting where revenues and expenses are recognized in the period in which they were incurred. The basis of accounting conforms to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Interim Financial Statements

The interim financial statements presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. 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 pursuant to such rules and regulations. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual financial statements, notes and accounting policies included in the Company’s Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments which are necessary to provide a fair presentation of financial position as of June 30, 2010 and the related operating results and cash flows for the interim period presented have been made. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations, for the period presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended December 31, 2010.

NOTE 2. – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Use of Estimates

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and, accordingly, require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Specifically, our management has estimated the expected economic life and value of our manufacturing equipment, cost of maintenance of robotic equipment, economic benefit of R&D generated improvements in our manufacturing equipment and processes, our marketing initiatives ability to generate sufficient business to support expand production capacity, potential inventory requirements as well as obsolescence and our net operating loss for tax purposes. It is reasonably possible that these estimates will change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and accounts receivable. During the periods ended June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 the Company may have had cash deposits which exceeded federally insured limits. The Company maintains its cash balances at high quality financial institutions and has begun to spread its cash balances across several institutions, which the Company believes limits these risks.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, cash and cash equivalents included cash on hand and cash in the bank

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are reported at net realizable value. The Company has established an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors pertaining to the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends, and other information. Delinquent accounts are written-off when it is determined that the amounts are uncollectible. At June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately $0 and $1,025 respectively.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the FIFO method. To ensure inventories are carried at the lower of cost or market, the Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of its inventories. The Company also periodically performs an evaluation of inventory for excess and obsolete items. Such evaluations are based on management’s judgment and use of estimates. Such estimates incorporate inventory quantities on-hand, aging of the inventory, sales forecasts for particular product groupings, planned dispositions of product lines and overall industry trends.

NOTE 2. – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Expenditures for repairs and maintenance of property are charged to expense as incurred. Major replacements and betterments are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the assets.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 605, formerly known as SAB 104 “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements”, which states that revenue is realized or realizable and earned when all of the following four criteria are met:

 

 

 

 

1)

Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,

 

2)

Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,

 

3)

The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and

 

4)

Collectability is reasonably assured.

Advertising

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company incurred advertising expenses of $123,529 and $163,305 June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009, respectively.

Research and Development

Costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense for June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 were $77,404 and $60,614, respectively.

Product Warranty

The Company’s product warranty limits its exposure to replacement parts for defects in the manufacturing process. The Company’s precision robotic manufacturing process by design mitigates manufacturing defects. Accordingly, the cost associated with product warranty has historically been immaterial. As a result, the Company records product replacement costs as incurred.

Impairment of Intangibles and Long-Lived Assets

We review intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC Topic 360 (formerly SFAS 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”). In August 2008, the Company revised and improved the impairment analysis for long-lived assets. The improved analysis included fair value estimates for the facilities which include land and building and improvements. For furniture, fixtures and equipment an analysis of the projected discounted cash flow generated from the Company’s operations was performed. The results of this analysis were sufficient to conclude that no impairment charge was required to the Company’s long-lived assets.

Income Taxes

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be recovered. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which we do not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

Earnings per share

The Company computes basic and diluted earnings per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260 (formerly SFAS 128, “Earnings per Share”). Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in the earnings of the Company.

Segment Reporting

ASC Topic 280 (formerly SFAS 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information”) requires companies to report information about operating segments in interim and annual financial statements. It also requires segment disclosures about products and services geographic and major customers. The Company determined that did not have any separately reportable operating segments as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

NOTE 2. – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06 which is intended to improve disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance requires entities to disclose significant transfers in and out of fair value hierarchy levels, the reasons for the transfers and to present information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements separately in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Additionally, the guidance clarifies that a reporting entity should provide fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities and disclose the inputs and valuation techniques used for fair value measurements using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company has applied the new disclosure requirements as of January 1, 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the Level 3 reconciliation, which will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09 which requires that an SEC filer, as defined, evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The update also removed the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-12. “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). ASU No.2010-12 amends FASB Accounting Standard Codification Subtopic 740-10 Income Taxes to include paragraph 740-10-S99-4. On March 30, 2010, the President signed the Health Care & Education Affordable Care Act reconciliation bill that amends its previous Act signed on March 23, 2010. FASB Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires the measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets to be based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effects of future changes in tax laws are not anticipated. Therefore, the different enactment dates of the Act and reconciliation measure may affect registrants with a period-end that falls between March 23, 2010 (enactment date of the Act) and March 30, 2010 (enactment date of the reconciliation measure). The announcement states that the SEC would not object if such registrants were to account for the enactment of both the Act and the reconciliation measure in a period ending on or after March 23, 2010, but notes that the SEC staff “does not believe that it would be appropriate for registrants to analogize to this view in any other fact patterns.” The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-13 “Stock Compensation” (Topic 718). ASU No.2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this update should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be calculated for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are initially applied, as if the amendments had been applied consistently since the inception of the award. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be presented separately. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE (Continued)

Stock Purchase Note

On May 2, 2008, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with a director and beneficial shareholder of the Company, to buy back 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased the shares at a price of $0.25 per Share with a cash purchase price of $500,000 and the balance of $2,000,000 in the form of a 7% note due on January 1, 2013 and secured by and subject to a Mortgage and Security Agreement on the Company’s manufacturing facility and real property located in Broward County, Florida.

The Company will hold the Shares, representing approximately 28% of the issued and outstanding voting capital stock of the Company, in escrow until the Note is paid in full at which time, the Shares will be retired to the treasury of the Company. Until the Note is paid in full, the Company, or its designees, will control the voting rights of the Shares.

There is no prepayment penalty under the Note and the Company reserves the right to withhold payments due under the Note in the event of breach of the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company has the option to pay interest only at a rate of 10% per annum on the outstanding balance of the Note until the Due Date, at which time a balloon payment will be due. In January 2009, the Company exercised its option to pay interest only. In the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company made interest payments totaling $98,272.

The Company may also extend the due date of the Note for one additional five-year period. If the Company opts to extend the Note, the Company will pay principal and interest in the amount of the greater of 10% per annum or prime plus 4% per annum on the remaining balance by making monthly payments in an amount that would result in equal monthly payments being made until final payment of the remaining balance on January 1, 2018.

The Company retains the rights to collect all rents, issues and profits from the property and has the right to cure any Event of Default, as that term is defined in the Note, upon 30 days notice.

On December 22, 2009, the Company signed a mortgage for seller financing of $2,000,000 to purchase 11.73 acres with a 60,876 sq ft building which adjoins our Ocala facility. We have received rental income in the amount of $97,238 and paid interest on the amount of $60,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Capitalized Lease

In January 2009, the Company executed two capital leases with Machinery Finance Resources, LLC. The terms of the lease agreement provide financing for the acquisition of $385,927 of manufacturing equipment for the Ocala facility. The leases have been accounted for as capital leases and provide for 60 monthly payments of $7,585 and bear interest at 6.9%. Amortization of assets under capitalized leases is included in depreciation expense. Interest incurred in the six months ending June 30, 2010 is $10,366.

Common Stock and Unit Purchase Options

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we received $5,000 in funded subscriptions from the sale of our common stock and $1,392,705 in proceeds from the sale of our Series A 10% Convertible Preferred stock (discussed below) less aggregate selling expenses of $638,058 for aggregate net proceeds of $759,647. We sold no unit purchase options during the six months ended June 30, 2010. In connection with the sale of our common stock, we sold 1,666 shares sold to foreign investors priced between $1.00 and $3.00, of which ,363 shares were issued as of June 30, 2010.

The foregoing sales of common stock and our Series A 10% Convertible Preferred stock were made in reliance upon the transaction exemption afforded by Regulation S promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act. There were no issuances to stockholders residing in the United States. The funds received have been used for operational purposes and equipment purchases.

Series A Preferred Stock

In April 2009, we initiated a private offering to existing shareholders of the Company of up to 1,500,000 shares of preferred stock designated as Series A 10% Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Shares”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. Under the terms of the offering, for a period of two years, the Company will pay a 10% dividend on each share of Series A Preferred stock, payable at the option of the Company, in cash or shares of common stock. Each share of the Series A Preferred Stock carries 10 votes on matters submitted to shareholders for voting purposes and is convertible into 10 shares of the Company’s common stock subject to anti-dilution in the event of the subdivision, combination or consolidation by stock split, stock dividend, combination or like event, into a greater or lesser number of shares of common stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, 325,025 shares have been issued to foreign investors.

NOTE 5 – EQUITY (Continued)

Series B Preferred Stock

In July 2009, the Company authorized the issuance of 500,000 shares of preferred stock designated as Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) to Robert Stopanio, the Company’s President, sole director, and a controlling shareholder of the Company. The shares are being issued at in lieu of a cash bonus, for Mr. Stopanio’s development of a manufacturing incubator and a medical components manufacturing division which will be operated through the Company’s subsidiary, Scorpion Medical Technologies, LLC. Each share of the Series B Preferred Stock carries 30 votes on matters submitted to shareholders for voting purposes and each holder of Series B Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or part of his or her shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock by dividing the original purchase price by $.001 subject to adjustment in the event of the subdivision, combination or consolidation by stock split, stock dividend, combination or like event. The Series B Preferred Shares are not entitled to dividends or preference upon liquidation. On July 17, the Company authorized an amendment to the Certificate of Designations of the Company’s Series B Preferred stock to clarify transfer and conversion restrictions. Articles of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation were filed on November 9, 2009. As amended, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock may convert shares to common stock of the Company only upon a change of control in the management and ownership of the Company. Further, holders of Series B Preferred Stock may only transfer the shares to immediate family members. As of the date of this Report, no shares of Series B Preferred Stock have been issued.

NOTE 6 – LIQUIDITY

Our primary sources of liquidity are the cash flow generated from our operations and to a decreasing extent, the fund raising activities associated with selling stock and unit purchase options to foreign investors. These sources of liquidity are needed to fund our debt service requirements, working capital requirements, capital expenditure requirements, and the remaining one-time costs associated with the completion of our facilities expansion in Ocala, Florida.

NOTE 7 – COMMITMENTS and CONTINGENCIES

Ocala Facility Construction. In 2008, the Company began building out a 36,000 sq ft production facility in Ocala Florida to expand its automotive and medical component manufacturing with an anticipated opening in early 2009 and budget of $2,000,000. As a result of unanticipated delays beyond the Company’s control, together with costs and a general freeze on credit and funding to fully fund construction during 2009, the Company revised its initial budget to $3.2 million and extended the move date to the third quarter of 2010. As of June 30, 2010, the Company has spent approximately $2,985,426 for construction costs, permitting and new equipment purchases and believes it will be able to stay within the revised budget to make the Ocala facility fully operational by its target date.

OVERVIEW

          The Company. Scorpion Performance, Inc., (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida in 1999 for the initial purpose of manufacturing high quality rocker arms for high performance automotive and marine engines. A rocker arm is a pivoted lever used in an internal combustion engine to transfer the motion of the camshaft or pushrods to the valves that open and close to let the air/fuel mixture into an engine and the exhaust gases out of the engine.

          From rocker arms, we expanded our product line to include lifters, pushrods, valves, valve springs, valve train stabilizers, throttle bodies, fuel rail kits and a variety of lubricants. We currently design and manufacture a variety of branded and private label high performance engine valve train products and related components for automotive and marine original equipment manufacturers, or OEMs, and the related after-market. We provide assembly services and sell products through our retail sales divisions, Scorpion Racing Products, with a corresponding e-commerce web site.

Table of Contents


          We also provide research and development (“R&D”) with a focus on reverse engineering and retooling using the latest CAD software. The full line of support equipment in our tool and die shop allows us to make custom tooling and prototype design and testing. We provide precision machining using the latest CNC machines and tools including 5-axis vertical mills, 4-axis horizontal mills, 4-axis vertical mills, 4-axis turret lathes, 3-axis turret lathes and multi-axis Swiss turn lathes. Our inspection equipment includes the latest coordinate measurement machines and optical comparators.

          To enhance our engine parts business, we have developed other service companies which include Scorpion Anodizing, our in-house anodizing service that includes bright dip anodizing, mil spec anodizing and titanium anodizing as well as ultrasonic cleaning, mirror polishing, vibratory polishing, centrifugal polishing, glass beading, laser etching and passivation to prevent rusting of stainless steel.

          Our R&D, precision manufacturing and assembly capabilities, anodizing and other services allow us to serve a broad range of non-automotive industries including medical, biofuel, marine, defense, aerospace and other precision manufacturing sectors. This has led us to develop other manufacturing and service companies to augment our engine parts business which include Scorpion Medical Technologies, a medical device company which will manufacture non-FDA regulated components and assemblies for the medical industry, and World Waste Management, LLC, a manure composting machine and waste management biofuel company both discussed below under “Recent Developments”.

          Recent Developments

                    ●     Revival of World Waste Management. We revived our subsidiary World Waste Management, LLC which was formed in 2006 to develop biofuel products. During the second quarter of 2010, we redesigned a concept product known as “Stable Mate” and began in-house testing of prototypes for use at horse racing tracks and large horse and cattle farms. The redesigned Stable Mate is an environmentally friendly industrial compacting machine that compresses and sanitarily bales manure using a process that we believe will allow us to convert organic product into an alternative fuel source. Based on initial results of testing, we anticipate that we will begin manufacturing and marketing the Stable Mate later this year or in early 2011 which will add another source of revenue to our current product and service line up.

                     ●     Launch of Scorpion Medical Technologies. We recently signed an agreement with a joint venture partner, Global-Med Technologies Group, Inc. (“GTG”) of Sarasota, Florida, to be the exclusive manufacturer of all medical products for GTG’s subsidiary companies. Through this joint venture, Scorpion Medical Technologies will provide design, prototyping, manufacturing, testing, clean room environment, quality control, distribution and inventory control services to produce medical components for GTG device companies.

                     ●     Status of ISO Certification. We are in the audit stage of obtaining ISO certification which will allow us to use our high-technology machines to manufacture a wider variety of medical devices and equipment in accordance with FDA requirements.

                    ●     Professional Recognition. Scorpion Performance was recently named one of three finalists for the 2009 Manufacturer of the Year Award presented by the South Florida Manufacturers Association.

          Production Costs and Suppliers. Our principal raw materials are aluminum extrusion and specialty steel, which along with labor represent the largest components of our production costs. Steel demand and prices have fallen worldwide as the global credit crisis continues to paralyze consumers’ purchasing power. The credit crisis and corresponding economic recession have also forced raw materials producers to cut production sharply to match weakening demand. As a result, we have enjoyed lower costs and have been able to maintain adequate reserves. Although recent economic problems and continuing uncertainty in the U.S. and global economy have forced some suppliers into bankruptcy or out of the market altogether, we continue to purchase raw materials from an adequate pool of up to 19 suppliers, the largest being Crown Extrusions, which represents approximately 32% of our materials purchases.

          Employees. The Company has 58 full-time employees and no part-time employees. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement. Management of Scorpion considers its relationship with its employees to be satisfactory.

          Customers and Distribution. We sell our products through over 170 distributors and directly to OEM customers, of which one distributor accounts for approximately 27% of our revenue, and in the aggregate with four other distributors, accounts for over 50% of our annual revenue. All of our orders are open purchase orders from distributors most of which we have established long-term relationships and, generally, are processed, manufactured and delivered to the distributor within 10-12 days of receipt of the purchase order. We deliver or ship finished products directly to OEM customers. Our products are also distributed to aftermarket customers through a network of warehouse auto parts distributors.

SUBSIDIARIES

Table of Contents


NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

          Recent accounting pronouncements that the Company has adopted or that will be required to adopt in the future are in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements and as summarized below:

          In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06 which is intended to improve disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance requires entities to disclose significant transfers in and out of fair value hierarchy levels, the reasons for the transfers and to present information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements separately in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Additionally, the guidance clarifies that a reporting entity should provide fair value measurements for each class of assets and liabilities and disclose the inputs and valuation techniques used for fair value measurements using significant other observable inputs (Level 2) and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Company has applied the new disclosure requirements as of January 1, 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the Level 3 reconciliation, which will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

          In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09 which requires that an SEC filer, as defined, evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued. The update also removed the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in originally issued and revised financial statements. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2010 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

          In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-12. “Income Taxes” (Topic 740). ASU No.2010-12 amends FASB Accounting Standard Codification Subtopic 740-10 Income Taxes to include paragraph 740-10-S99-4. On March 30, 2010, the President signed the Health Care & Education Affordable Care Act reconciliation bill that amends its previous Act signed on March 23, 2010. FASB Codification Topic 740, Income Taxes, requires the measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets to be based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effects of future changes in tax laws are not anticipated. Therefore, the different enactment dates of the Act and reconciliation measure may affect registrants with a period-end that falls between March 23, 2010 (enactment date of the Act) and March 30, 2010 (enactment date of the reconciliation measure). The announcement states that the SEC would not object if such registrants were to account for the enactment of both the Act and the reconciliation measure in a period ending on or after March 23, 2010, but notes that the SEC staff “does not believe that it would be appropriate for registrants to analogize to this view in any other fact patterns.” The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents


          In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2010-13 “Stock Compensation” (Topic 718). ASU No.2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The amendments in this update should be applied by recording a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be calculated for all awards outstanding as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendments are initially applied, as if the amendments had been applied consistently since the inception of the award. The cumulative-effect adjustment should be presented separately. Earlier application is permitted. The adoption of this guidance has not had and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

          Total operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $1,510,009 an increase of $247,594 or 19% as compared to total operating expenses of $1,262,415 for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The change is primarily a result of the following:

 

 

 

 

 

Selling and marketing expenses decreased $57,870 or 21% due to cutbacks and reduction in advertising expenditures during the second quarter of 2010.

 

 

 

 

Research and development expenses increased $16,789 or 28% due to due to the development of a new robotic cell during the first quarter of 2010 and the development and implementation of a new quality management system for our ISO certification during the second quarter of 2010.

 

 

 

 

Salaries and benefits expense increased $80,162 or 42% primarily as a reclassification implemented during 2009.

 

 

 

 

General and administrative expense increased $247,594 or 19% primarily due to the following:

 

 

 

 

 

o

a $66,044 decrease in professional fees due to reduced contractual matters;

 

 

 

 

 

 

o

a $15,950 increase in auto expenses due moving supplies and equipment between our Fort Lauderdale and Ocala facilities;

 

 

 

 

 

 

o

a $19,445 decrease in rent due to our December 2009 purchase of property in Ocala formerly leased as a warehouse to store inventory and equipment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

o

a $46,592 increase in utilities primarily the result of increased rates and usage for operating both our primary facility in Fort Lauderdale and our new facility in Ocala facilities;

 

 

 

 

 

 

o

a $45,052 increase in property taxes due during the second quarter of 2010 as a result of our purchase of the property adjacent to our Ocala facility in December 2009; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

o

a $16,386 increase in insurance primarily due to increases in worker compensation and liability insurance during the second quarter of 2010.

          Other Income (Expense) for the six months ended June 30 2010 was ($64,250) a decrease of $8,495 or 12% as compared to other income of ($72,745) for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This category is composed of lawsuit settlements and interest income net of interest expense. The decrease in expense is primarily the result of lawsuit settlements of $15,000 during the second quarter of 2009; increased interest expense related to debt related to the purchase of the property adjacent to our Ocala facility; and a decrease in interest income due to a decrease in cash balances. Other Income (Expenses) was offset by $97,239 of rental income from the property adjacent to our Ocala facility.

          We realized a net loss of $544,604 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to a net loss of $861,561 for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          At June 30, 2010, we had an accumulated deficit of $(11,834,729) as compared to $(11,290,125) for the year ended December 31, 2009. As of June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $86,356, an increase of $72,832 or 539% as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase in cash during the second quarter of 2010 was due primarily to proceeds from the sale of our Series A 10% Convertible Preferred stock to existing shareholders and rental income from the property adjacent to our Ocala facility.

          Our primary sources of cash during our last two fiscal years have been Scorpion branded and private label product sales, anodizing services and the sale of our equity securities. Our cash flows from operations are derived primarily from the manufacture and distribution of high performance auto parts, particularly rocker arms which account for 88% of product sold. Cash flows from our anodizing services are dependent upon the revenue generated from third party customers. Anodizing services are primarily a component of our rocker arm manufacturing process which other manufacturers utilize from time to time for both automotive applications as well as non-automotive applications including medical components and equipment.

          We sell shares of our common stock, unit purchase options and shares of our Series A 10% Convertible Preferred stock to non-US resident investors in offerings intended to meet the exemptions of Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we received $5,000 in funded subscriptions from the sale of our common stock and $1,392,705 in proceeds from the sale of our Series A 10% Convertible Preferred stock less aggregate selling expenses of $638,058 for aggregate net proceeds of $759,647. We have sold no unit purchase options during the first two quarters of 2010. Since we began our Regulation S offering in 2004 and through June 30, 2010, we have raised gross proceeds from the sale of our common stock, unit purchase options and Series A 10% Convertible Preferred stock of $27,583,620, $8,863,656, and $3,549,652 respectively, less aggregate selling expenses of $18,132,104 for aggregate net proceeds of $21,865,199.

          The funds received from the sale of our common stock, unit purchase options and Series A 10% Convertible Preferred stock have been used for operational purposes and equipment purchases offset by cash used in operating and investing activities for our products and services. We believe that our operating and capital requirements in connection with operations have been and will continue to grow and sustain operations. Because our primary uses of cash are for capital expenditures, research and development and construction costs including plant expansion and ongoing plant construction in Ocala, Florida, repayment of debt and pursuit of new business opportunities, we believe we are in a position to delay or scale back these expenditures should the need arise. In addition, we will continue to seek capital from foreign investors to the extent such capital is available.

Cash Flows for the six Months June 30, 2010

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

          Operating activities used net cash for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $144,831. Net cash used reflects an adjusted net loss for the year ended of approximately $89,955 as adjusted for various items which impact net income but do not impact cash during the period, such as depreciation and amortization.

          Net cash used also reflects $193,040 of cash used to support net changes in working capital items, which included:

 

 

 

 

a $546,686 increase in accounts receivable as a result of increased sales;

 

 

 

 

a $299,803 decrease in inventory costs due to utilizing existing inventory for current production; and

 

 

 

 

a $190,566 decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses as a result of satisfying vendor liabilities from the increase in sales.

          Cash Flows used in Investing Activities

          Our investing activities used $496,134 in net cash during the six months ended June 30, 2010. Net cash used is composed entirely of capital expenditures for equipment and outfitting the Ocala facility.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

          Our financing activities provided net cash of $713,796 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. We raised approximately $1,392,705 through the sale of our Series A 10% Convertible Preferred stock and $5,000 the through sale of our common stock net of $638,058 in issuance costs. We also repaid $45,848 in principal on notes payable on equipment.

Financial Position

          Our total assets increased $359,759 or 3% to $12,152,676 as of June 30, 2010 as compared to $11,792,917 as of December 31, 2009 primarily as a result of a net increase in total current assets. The increase in total current assets was primarily associated with a $72,832 increase in cash since December 31, 2009 and a $546,686 or 205% increase in accounts receivable, the majority of which was paid in June 2010.

Material Commitments

          In May 2008, the Company entered into an agreement with a former director to buy back 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for the aggregate purchase price of $2,500,000. Under the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company purchased the shares at a price of $0.25 per share with a cash purchase price of $500,000 and the balance of $2,000,000 in the form of a 7% Note due on January 1, 2013 and secured by and subject to a Mortgage and Security Agreement on the Company’s primary manufacturing facility and real property located in Broward County, Florida. There is no prepayment penalty under the Note and the Company reserves the right to withhold payments due under the Note in the event of breach of the Stock Purchase Agreement. The Company has the option to pay interest only at a rate of 10% per annum on the outstanding balance of the Note until the due date, at which time a balloon payment will be due. In January 2009, we exercised our option to pay interest only.

          The Company may also extend the due date of the Note for one additional five-year period. If the Company opts to extend the Note, the Company will pay principal and interest in the amount of the greater of 10% per annum or prime plus 4% per annum on the remaining balance by making monthly payments in an amount that would result in equal monthly payments being made until final payment of the remaining balance on January 1, 2018. Under the terms of the Mortgage and Security Agreement executed on May 2, 2008, the Company retains the rights to collect all rents, issues and profits from the property and has the right to cure any Event of Default, as that term is defined in the Note, upon 30 days notice. As of June 30, 2010, we owe $1,686,514 on the Note and have made interest payments totaling $98,272.

          On December 22, 2009 we signed a mortgage for seller financing of $2,000,000 to purchase 11.73 acres with a 60,876 sq ft building which adjoins our Ocala facility. As of June 30, 2010, we have received rental income in the amount of $97,238 and have made interest payments in the amount of $60,000.

          We had no outstanding purchase commitments to purchase raw materials as of June 30, 2010.

          In 2008, we began building out a 36,000 sq ft production facility in Ocala Florida to expand our automotive and medical component manufacturing which we initially forecast opening in early 2009 and budgeted at a build out cost of $2,000,000. We have had to delay the opening of our Ocala facility due to construction, zoning, permitting, and other delays beyond our control, together with costs and a general freeze on credit and funding to fully fund construction during 2009. We have revised our initial budget to $3.2 million and extended the move date to the third quarter of 2010 to reflect these delays and unanticipated costs. As of June 30 2010, we have spent approximately $2,985,426 for construction costs, permitting and new equipment purchases and believe we will be able to stay within the revised budget to make our Ocala facility fully operational by our target date. We believe that we will have enough cash on hand from our investment activities and operations to finance additional expenditures and do not believe that prolonged problems or delays will threaten the commercial viability of the Ocala facility; however, we may not have anticipated all the logistical impediments and obstacles and may incur further unanticipated delays and additional costs which could adversely affect available cash.

ITEM 4T.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

          The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

          As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of Robert Stopanio, our President and Principal Executive Officer and Karen Rodgers, our Controller and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based upon their evaluation, Robert Stopanio and Karen Rodgers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2010.

          Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

          There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

 

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          We are occasionally subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business. It is impossible for us to predict with any certainty the outcome of pending disputes and we cannot predict whether any liability arising from pending claims and litigation will be material in relation to our consolidated financial position or results of operations. As of June 30, 2010, we are currently not a party to any material litigation and are not aware of any threatened litigation that would have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

 

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS

          Please consider the following risk factors carefully. The descriptions below include material changes to the description of the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A of our 2009 Annual Report. The risks described below and in our 2009 Annual Report could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We also may be adversely affected by risks not currently known or risks that we do not currently consider to be material.

          DELAYS AND UNANTICIPATED COSTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE RELOCATION OF OUR PRIMARY MANUFACTURING FACILITY TO OCALA COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND LIQUIDITY.

          To facilitate anticipated growth from the automotive and medical component industry, in July 2007 we purchased a 36,000 square foot single story building on 10.5 acres in Ocala, Florida and in 2008 began refurbishing the existing building with the intention of moving most of our manufacturing operations from Fort Lauderdale to Ocala by the first quarter of 2007. We initially budgeted $2 million for the refurbishment and relocation; however, we have had to revise our budget and extend our move in date as a result of unforeseen delays with permitting, zoning and a pending road widening project by Marion County. We experienced further setbacks during 2009 due to restrictions on cash and a general freeze on credit and funding to fully fund construction during 2009. We have revised our initial budget to $3.2 million and extended the move date to the third quarter of 2010 to reflect these delays and unanticipated costs. As of June 30, 2010, we have spent approximately $2,985,426 for construction costs, permitting and new equipment purchases and believe we will be able to stay within the revised budget to make our Ocala facility fully operational by our target date. We believe that we will have enough cash on hand from our investment activities and operations to finance additional expenditures and do not believe that prolonged problems or delays will threaten the commercial viability of the Ocala facility; however, we may not have anticipated all the logistical impediments and obstacles and may incur further unanticipated delays and additional costs which could adversely affect our liquidity.

ITEM 2.

UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

          During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we raised a total of $538,230 of which $5,000 was generated through the sale of our common stock and $533,230 was generated from the sale of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred stock. For common stock sales there were 1,666 shares sold to foreign investors priced between $1.00 and $3.00, of which 363 shares were issued as of June 30, 2010. For our Series A 10% Convertible Preferred stock, there were 71,335 shares issued to foreign investors at a price of $10.00 per share which amount includes shares authorized but not issued during the first quarter.
