AMERITYRE CORPORATION
Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited 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, 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Operating results for the six months ended December 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, and notes payable. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable approximates their fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of the notes payable approximates fair value as the individual borrowings bear interest at rates that approximate market interest rates for similar debt instruments.
Stock Based-Compensation Expense
Since July 2005, we account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (ASC 718). Our financial statements as of and for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 reflect the impact of ASC 718. Stock-based compensation expense related to director and employee options recognized under ASC 718 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $44,777 and $25,555, respectively.
ASC 718 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 six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 assumes all awards will vest, therefore no reduction has been made for estimated forfeitures. We have awarded some options with a performance requirement and no amounts will be recorded until the requirement is met.
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.

Our outstanding stock options and warrants have been excluded from the basic and fully diluted net loss per share calculation. We excluded 3,983,286 and 1,605,891 common stock equivalents for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, because they are anti-dilutive.
AMERITYRE CORPORATION
Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, Continued
Income Tax
We file federal income tax returns in the U.S. and state income tax returns in those state jurisdictions where we are required to file. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before June 30, 2006. We have adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification 740, Income Taxes (ASC 740).
There are no tax positions included in the balance at December 31, 2011 for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but for which there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility. Because of the impact of deferred tax accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of the shorter deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate but would accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier period.
Our policy is to recognize accrued interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses.

NOTE 4 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
In September 2010, we closed a private placement of secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”). We sold an aggregate of $755,800 in Notes. The Notes had a one year term with simple interest of 6.0%. The Notes are convertible at the holders’ option to our common stock at a conversion rate of $0.35 per share. The Notes are secured by all assets of the Company. Principal and interest are due at maturity of the Notes if the Notes are not converted. If the holder elects such conversion, for each two shares in the conversion, the holder shall also receive one warrant to purchase an additional share, exercisable at $0.60 per share for an exercise period of 2 years from the date of conversion. No officers, directors or affiliates of the Company participated in the private placement. The Notes were sold pursuant to subscription documents between the Company and each investor. In connection with the private placement of secured convertible promissory notes, on September 15, 2010, the Company issued 142,856 shares of restricted common stock as finders' fees. The aggregate value of the shares issued as finders’ fees was $50,000, based on the closing price of $0.36 per share. During the six months ended December 31, 2011, $110,000 of the Notes were redeemed; $195,000 of the Notes converted into 559,429 shares of common stock; and $450,000 of the Notes extended maturity until March 15, 2012. Interest due on the Notes was paid through December 31, 2011.
NOTE 5 - NOTE RECEIVABLE
In June 2007, we issued 200,000 shares of common stock in connection with the exercise of 200,000 options at an exercise price of $4.00 per share for aggregate proceeds of $200,000 in cash and an additional two (2) notes in the amount of $300,000 each. The notes were payable in equal annual installments over a 3 year period and bear interest at 8.5% per annum.

NOTE 5 - NOTE RECEIVABLE, Continued
In December 2008, the original notes were replaced with a single note in the amount of $439,502. The note was payable in four (4) equal installments and bear interest of 4.5% per annum, together with accrued interest, commencing on November 30, 2009. A forbearance agreement, signed in December 2009, modified the November 30, 2009 payment to include the payment of unpaid interest plus monthly installments of $7,500 through October 2010 with a balance payment of $27,500 plus accrued interest due on November 1, 2010 which has been received. During October 2010 and November 2010, we received 20,000 shares each month of our restricted common stock as part of the monthly installment related to our note receivable. In November 2010, we also received 80,000 shares of our restricted common stock as final payment for the forbearance agreement dated December 2009. The shares were returned to the company for cancellation and are included in the Company’s authorized and unissued shares. Payment of the remaining balance of $343,238 was renegotiated with interest-only monthly installment payments beginning January 1, 2011 and five annual principal payments of approximately $69,000 due beginning December 1, 2011. In November 2011, the Board of Director’s negotiated a settlement to retire the Note Receivable entered into in June 2007 for the purchase of its common stock. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the debtor paid the Company $100,000 and accrued interest of $1,287 in full settlement of the note receivable. As a related-party transaction, the Note Receivable has been included in the equity section of the balance sheet since its inception. The outstanding principal balance on the Note Receivable as of December 31, 2011 was $343,238. The difference between the outstanding balance and the settlement amount was charged against additional paid-in capital during the quarter ending December 31, 2011. Over the term of the Note, in addition to cash payments, the debtor has surrendered a large portion of the shares acquired in the original transaction.
NOTE 6 - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
General Option Information
On July 6, 2011, the Board of Directors cancelled the “2004 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Incentive Plan” and approved the “Directors’ 2011 Stock Option and Award Plan”. The Company also maintains the 2005 Stock Option and Award Plan, which was previously approved by shareholders, for the purpose of granting option awards to its employees and consultants. Under the 2011 Plan, a total of 3,300,000 shares are authorized for issuance. Each non-executive director is eligible to receive, based on their length of service, options to purchase a total of 300,000 shares at that day’s closing price, $0.17. Any options issued will vest over a three year service period as follows: 100,000 on June 30, 2012, 100,000 on June 30, 2013 and 100,000 on June 30, 2014. These options expire two years after vesting. The Director who serves as Audit Chair during the fiscal year will receive an additional 50,000 options per year under the same terms. CEO Timothy L. Ryan was granted 200,000 options per year under the same terms, under the 2005 Stock Option and Award Plan.
During the six months ended December 31, 2011, we granted a total of 2,400,000 options.

AMERITYRE CORPORATION
Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011
NOTE 8 - GOING CONCERN
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 $57,311,530 at December 31, 2011, which raises a doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
For the 2012 fiscal year, we have developed a sales plan targeting the agricultural, polyurethane foam and forklift tire markets. Our sales and marketing efforts have been intensified through the expansion and reorganization of our sales team. We have also taken steps to reduce our operating and financial requirements including: (1) reduced officer and board cash compensation; (2) reduced selling, general and administrative expense; and (3) revised selling prices for our products to adjust for raw material increases. We expect the continued expense reduction and anticipate the increase in revenue from our expanded commercialization activities will reduce our net loss and move us closer to profitability.
To supplement our cash needs during the 2011 fiscal year, in September 2010, we completed a private placement of convertible promissory notes for aggregate proceeds of $755,800. In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended December 2011, we have analyzed our cash needs for the next six months. Based on this analysis, we concluded that our available cash may not be sufficient to meet our current minimum working capital, capital expenditure and other cash requirements for this period. We may issue common stock in lieu of cash as compensation for certain employment, development, and other professional services. However, we may need additional capital if our sales revenue does not meet our expectations. In any case, as we expand operations to meet or exceed our sales targets, we will most likely need additional working capital to support our growth.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary in the event we are unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 9 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On January 24, 2012, the Company issued 100,000 common shares to CEO Timothy L. Ryan, 100,000 common shares to Director L. Wayne Arnett and 60,000 shares to Director John J. Goldberg for services provided to Amerityre during the 2nd quarter of fiscal 2012.
Management has evaluated subsequent events per the requirements of Topic 855 and has determined that there are no additional subsequent events to be reported.
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. 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
Amerityre engages in the development, manufacturing and sale of polyurethane tires. We believe that we have developed unique polyurethane formulations that allow us to make products with superior performance characteristics, including abrasion resistance and load-bearing capabilities, than conventional rubber tires. We also believe that our manufacturing processes are more efficient than traditional tire manufacturing processes, in part because our polyurethane compounds do not require the multiple processing steps, extreme heat and high pressure that are necessary to cure rubber. Using our polyurethane technologies, we believe tires can be produced which last longer, are less susceptible to failure and offer improved fuel economy.
We currently serve three segments of the tire market: low duty cycle foam tires, solid forklift tires and agricultural tires. Our most recent activities in these areas are set forth below:
Low duty cycle foam tires - We currently manufacture closed-cell polyurethane foam tires for bicycles, hand trucks, lawn and garden, and medical mobility products. Our closed-cell polyurethane foam products are often referred to as flat-free because they have no inner tube, do not require inflation and will not go flat even if punctured. These foam tires are mounted on the wheel rim in much the same way as a pneumatic tire. They are virtually maintenance free, eliminating the need to make tedious puncture repairs and offering superior wear compared to rubber based tires.
Solid forklift tires – We have developed solid polyurethane forklift tires made of Elastothane®. We currently produce and sell over 20 sizes for tires for Class 1, 4 and 5 forklifts. We believe our tires are superior to rubber tires as they are non-marking, more energy efficient, carry greater load weight, operate in lower temperature environments and have longer service lives.
Agricultural tires – We have developed two products for the agricultural tire market, one used in irrigation and one used in planting. Both products have successfully field tested and we are developing sales and marketing strategies and manufacturing plans for these products.
Factors Affecting Results of Operations
Our operating expenses consisted primarily of the following:
●
|
Cost of sales, which consists primarily of raw materials, components and production of our products, including applied labor costs and benefits expenses, maintenance, facilities and other operating costs associated with the production of our products;
|
●
|
Selling, general and administrative expenses, which consist primarily of salaries, commissions and related benefits paid to our employees and related selling and administrative costs including professional fees;
|
●
|
Research and development expenses, which consist primarily of equipment and materials used in the development of our technologies;
|
●
|
Consulting expenses, which consist primarily of amounts paid to third-parties for outside services;
|
●
|
Depreciation and amortization expenses which result from the depreciation of our property and equipment, including amortization of our intangible assets; and
|
●
|
Amortization of deferred compensation that results from the expense related to certain stock options to our employees.
|
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. 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 for products is recognized when the sales amount is determined, shipment of goods to the customer has occurred and collection is reasonably assured. Generally, we ship all of our products FOB origination.
Valuation of Intangible Assets and Goodwill
At December 31, 2011, we had capitalized patent and trademark costs, net of accumulated amortization, totaling $545,520. 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. We evaluate the recoverability of intangibles and review the amortization period on a continual basis utilizing the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). 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 a patent 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 primarily 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. The stock-based compensation expense recognized under ASC 718 for the six month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $44,778 and $25,555 respectively.
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 revenue, which consists of product sales revenues and equipment sales revenues, if any;
|
●
|
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 and the mix of product and equipment sales and license fees, if any;
|
●
|
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 six month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 with respect to certain key financial measures. The comparisons illustrated in the table are discussed in greater detail below.

Three Month Period Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to December 31, 2010
Net revenues. We had net revenues of $1,048,698 for the three month period ended December 31, 2011, a 29.6% increase over net revenues of $809,342 for the three month period ended December 31, 2010. Product sales increased primarily due to an increase in the volume of hand truck, forklift and wheelbarrow tires sold, which was offset by decrease in sales of medical mobility tires. Hand truck and wheelbarrow tire sales increased over the same period last year due to continued market acceptance of these products with both existing and new customers. Forklift tire sales increased over the same period last year due to the nascent level of forklift tire sales in last fiscal year’s first two quarters. Mobility tires sales decreased from the prior year period due to reduced sales to an original equipment manufacturer customer.
Cost of revenues. For the three month period ended December 31, 2011, cost of revenues was $657,538 compared to $511,167, a $146,371 increase from the same three month period in 2010. Cost of revenues grew primarily due to the increase in revenue. Cost of revenues as a percentage of sales remained stable for the comparable periods as volume increases offset lower pricing on certain products.
Gross profit. For three month period ended December 31, 2011, we had $391,160 of gross profit compared to $298,175 for the same period 2010. Gross profit for the three month period ended December 31, 2011 increased by $92,985 or 31.2%, over the same period in 2010 due primarily to the increase in unit volume sales.
Consulting expenses. For the three month period ended December 31, 2011, we had $17,425 in consulting expenses as compared to $54,584 consulting expenses during the three month period ended December 31, 2010. Consulting expenses are expected to fluctuate depending upon future product development, manufacturing initiatives and other projects.
Depreciation and amortization expenses. For the three month period ended December 31, 2011, we had $60,662 of depreciation and amortization expenses compared to $57,323 for the same period last year. Depreciation and amortization increased by $3,339, or 5.8% compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to the addition of assets used to produce forklift tires.
Research and development expenses. For the three month period ended December 31, 2011, we had $4,861 of research and development expenses compared to $12,584 for the same period in the prior year. Our research and development expenses for the three month period ended December 31, 2011, decreased by $7,723, or 61.4%, as compared with the same period in 2010 primarily due to a decrease in outside testing services and a reduction in tooling expenses during the period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. For the three month period ended December 31, 2011, we had $535,155 of SG&A expenses, compared to $433,091 of SG&A expenses for the same period last year. SG&A expense increased $102,064 due to increased expenses associated with higher sales levels, offset by decreased payroll expenses. SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased to 51.1% of total revenues from 53.5% in the same period last year. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales is largely due to revenue growth in excess of SG&A growth and cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues remaining almost unchanged for the comparable periods.
Net loss. For the three month period ended December 31, 2011, we had a net loss of $230,348 compared to a net loss of $195,765 for the same period in 2010. The net loss for the same period in 2010 included an uncommon gain of $110,000 on the settlement of debt with a former employee. Excluding the uncommon gain from the settlement of debt, the net loss decreased primarily due to the increase in revenues and stable gross margins.
Six Month Period Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to December 31, 2010
Net revenues. We had net revenues of $2,397,864 for the six month period ended December 31, 2011, a 38.8% increase over net revenues of $1,726,987 for the six month period ended December 31, 2010. Product sales increased primarily due to an increase in the volume of hand truck, forklift and wheelbarrow tires sold, which was offset by decrease in sales of medical mobility tires. Hand truck and wheelbarrow tire sales increased over the same period last year due to continued market acceptance of these products with both existing and new customers. Forklift tire sales increased over the same period last year due to the nascent level of forklift tire sales in last year’s fiscal first quarter. Mobility tires sales decreased from the prior year period due to reduced sales to an original equipment manufacturer customer.
Cost of revenues. For the six month period ended December 31, 2011, cost of revenues was $1,534,486 or 64.0% of revenues compared to $1,108,355 or 64.2% of revenues sold for the same six month period in 2010. Cost of revenues grew primarily due to the increase in revenue. Cost of revenues as a percentage of sales remained stable for the comparable periods as volume increases offset lower pricing on certain products.
Gross profit. For six month period ended December 31, 2011, we had $863,378 of gross profit compared to $618,632 for the same period 2010. Gross profit for the six month period ended December 31, 2011 increased by $244,746 or 28.3%, over the same period in 2010 due primarily to the increase in unit volume sales.
Consulting expenses. For the six month period ended December 31, 2011, we had $37,540 in consulting expenses as compared to $66,584 consulting expenses during the six month period ended December 31, 2010. Consulting expenses are expected to fluctuate depending upon future product development, manufacturing initiatives and other projects.
Depreciation and amortization expenses. For the six month period ended December 31, 2011, we had $121,323 of depreciation and amortization expenses compared to $114,365 for the same period last year. Depreciation and amortization increased by $6,958, or 6.1% compared to the same period in 2010, primarily due to the addition of assets used to produce forklift tires.
Research and development expenses. For the six month period ended December 31, 2011, we had $7,616 of research and development expenses compared to $18,641 for the same period in the prior year. Our research and development expenses for the six month period ended December 31, 2011, decreased by $11,025, or 59.1%, as compared with the same period in 2010 due primarily to a decrease in outside testing services and a reduction in tooling expenses during the period.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. For the six month period ended December 31, 2011, we had $1,108,186 of SG&A expenses, compared to $976,736 of SG&A expenses for the same period last year. SG&A expense increased $131,450 due to increased expenses associated with higher sales levels, offset by decreased payroll expenses. SG&A as a percentage of sales decreased to 46.2% of total revenues from 56.6% in the same period last year. The decrease in SG&A as a percentage of sales is due to revenue growth exceeding SG&A growth and cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues remaining almost unchanged for the comparable periods.
Net loss. For the six month period ended December 31, 2011, we had a net loss of $424,446 compared to a net loss of $498,778 for the same period in 2010, a decrease of $74,332. The net loss for the same period in 2010 included an uncommon gain of $110,000 on the settlement of debt with a former employee. Excluding the uncommon gain from the settlement of debt, the net loss decreased $184,332 primarily due to the increase in revenues and stable gross margins.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash and cash equivalents and payments received from our customers. 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 and the placement of short-term debt instruments. In assessing our liquidity, management reviews and analyzes our current cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, capital expenditure commitments and other obligations.

Net Cash Used By Operating Activities. Our primary sources of operating cash during the six month period ended December 31, 2011 came from collections of accounts receivables and sales of inventories. Our primary uses of operating cash are payments made to vendors and employee salaries and wages. The net loss resulted from gross profit being insufficient to cover total operating expenses. Net cash generated by operating activities was $84,228 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to net cash used of $348,172 for the same period in 2010. The increase in cash during the same period in 2010 was primarily due to the increase in net revenues.
Non-cash items include depreciation and amortization and stock based compensation. Our net loss was $424,446 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to a net loss of $498,778 for the same period in 2010. Net loss for the six month period ended December 31, 2011 included non-cash expenses of $160,377 for stock and stock-option based compensation relating to services provided by directors, employees and consultants.

(1) In June 2011, we negotiated an extension of the lease for our executive and manufacturing facilities located at 1501 Industrial Road, Boulder City, Nevada. The property consists of a 49,200 square-foot building, which includes approximately 5,500 square-feet of office space, situated on approximately 4.15 acres. The monthly base rent is $15,000 and the lease agreement has a term of one year starting on June 15, 2010. We negotiated an additional one year extension of the lease starting on June 15, 2011. The monthly base rent is $15,000.
Cash Position, Outstanding Indebtedness and Future Capital Requirements
Our total indebtedness at December 31, 2011 was $1,241,812 and our total cash and cash equivalents were $153,287, none of which is restricted. Our total indebtedness at December 31, 2011 includes $436,064 in accounts payable, $209,151 in accrued expenses and $450,000 in principal for convertible notes payable with an extended deadline of March 15, 2012.
We anticipate revenues will increase during the balance of our fiscal year. However, our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to increase sales and obtain additional financing to meet our requirements and ultimately achieve profitable operations.
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 $57,311,530 at December 31, 2011 which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern (See Note 8 to the attached financial statements). The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
In fiscal 2012, we are concentrating on three segments of the tire market: low duty cycle foam tires, solid forklift tires and agricultural tires. In September Amerityre added two additional salespeople. One person will focus on introducing our forklift tires to original equipment manufacturers. The other addition will focus on expanding distribution of all Amerityre products in the southwestern U.S.
In connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, we have analyzed our cash needs for the next six months. Based on this analysis, we concluded that our available cash may not be sufficient to meet our current minimum working capital, capital expenditure and other cash requirements. We may issue common stock in lieu of cash as compensation for certain employment, development, and other professional services. However, we may need additional capital if our sales revenues do not meet our expectations. In any case as we expand operations to meet or exceed our sales targets, we will most likely need additional working capital to support our growth.
Our ability to obtain further 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. If our cash is insufficient to fund our business operations, our business operations could be adversely affected in the event we do not obtain additional financing and are unable to obtain such funding when needed. Insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back or eliminate expenses and/or employees. If we cannot generate adequate sales of our products or increase our revenues through other means, we may be forced to cease operations.
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 and Principal 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 and 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 and financial officer, concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
We have, however, made some changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the current fiscal year that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. We have made these changes based on our continuing review of our internal control system in relation to criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) of the Treadway Commission.
Based upon these criteria, we have discovered two material weaknesses in our internal control system.
1) Internal Control Testing - We have determined that the internal control testing performed during the first three quarters of fiscal year 2011was inadequate. This inadequacy results in a reasonable possibility that the Company’s controls will fail to prevent or detect a misstatement. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011 and the current fiscal quarter we improved our testing which we believe has remediated this weakness. We have also begun a process of updating our controls and the associated testing for assessment purposes to ensure compliance in the future.
2) Adequate Closing Procedures - The Company’s controls failed to ensure the timely completion of year-end closing procedures which resulted in audit adjustments and delays in the completion of the financial statements. We evaluated this weakness and determined that it was an isolated event caused by the lack of sufficient cross-training. Subsequent to year end we now have sufficient personnel available and cross-trained to close the books in a timely fashion ensuring that they are complete and accurate.

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 year ended June 30, 2011, in addition to the risk factor outlined below.
If holders of our secured convertible promissory notes do not choose to convert the notes to shares of our common stock, we may have difficulty obtaining the necessary funds to pay principal and interest in cash when due.
During September 2010, we closed a private placement of secured convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”). We sold an aggregate of $755,800 in Notes. The Notes were originally for a term of one year with simple interest of 6.0%. During the six months ended December 31, 2011, a total of $110,000 of the Notes was repaid in cash, and $195,800 of the Notes converted to common stock. Accrued interest on all the Notes was paid in cash through December 31, 2011. As of this filing date, there are seven Notes with a total principal amount of $450,000 outstanding with an extended due date of March 15, 2012. The Notes are convertible at the holders’ option to our common stock at a conversion rate of $0.35 per share. As an incentive to convert, if a holder elects such conversion, for each two shares in the conversion, the holder shall also receive one warrant to purchase an additional share, exercisable at $0.60 per share for an exercise period of two years from the date of conversion. However, if a holder does not elect such conversion, we are obliged to repay the outstanding principal and interest in cash prior to March 15, 2012. If several note holders demand cash repayment, it could severely impact our cash flow, limit our ability to make necessary capital improvements and prevent us from completing our business plans or expanding our production capability.
