Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation

The unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared by US Nuclear Corp. (the “Company”), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the operating results for the respective periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally present in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) were omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016.

 

Organization and Line of Business

 

US Nuclear Corp., formerly known as APEX 3, Inc., (the “Company” or “US Nuclear”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 14, 2012.

 

The Company is engaged in developing, manufacturing and selling radiation detection and measuring equipment. The Company markets and sells its products to consumers throughout the world.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

  

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Optron Scientific Company, Inc. (“Optron”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Overhoff Technology Corporation (“Overhoff”), and have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

  

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is possible that accounting estimates and assumptions may be material to the Company due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment involved.

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

The Company maintains reserves for potential credit losses for accounts receivable. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves.  Reserves are recorded based on the Company’s historical collection history. Allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were $5,000 and $5,000, respectively.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (determined primarily by the average cost method) or market. Management compares the cost of inventories with the market value and allowance is made for writing down their inventories to market value, if lower.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and Equipment are stated at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to earnings as incurred; additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized. When equipment is retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective accounts, and any gain or loss is included in operations. Depreciation of equipment is provided using the straight-line method for substantially all assets with estimated lives as follows:

 

Furniture and fixtures	5 years
Leasehold improvement	Lesser of lease life or economic life
Equipment	5 years
Computers and software	5 years

 

 

Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company applies the provisions of ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, which addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. ASC 360 requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amounts. In that event, a loss is recognized based on the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets. Loss on long-lived assets to be disposed of is determined in a similar manner, except that fair values are reduced for the cost of disposal. Based on its review at December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company believes there was no impairment of its long-lived assets.

 

Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over the underlying net assets of businesses acquired. The entire goodwill balance in the accompanying financial statements resulted from the Company’s acquisition of Overhoff Technology Corporation in 2006. The Company complies with ASC 350, Goodwill and Other Indefinite Lived Intangible Assets, requiring that a test for impairment be performed at least annually. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company performed the required impairment analysis which resulted in no impairment adjustments. 

  

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, customer deposits, and line of credit, the carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to their short maturities. In addition, the Company has a note payable to shareholder that the carrying amount also approximates fair value.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue recognition policies comply with FASB ASC Topic 605. Revenue is recognized at the date of shipment to customers when a formal arrangement exists, the price is fixed or determinable, the delivery is completed, no other significant obligations of the Company exist and collectability is reasonably assured. Payments received before all of the relevant criteria for revenue recognition are satisfied are recorded as customer deposits.

 

Sales returns and allowances was $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The Company does not provide unconditional right of return, price protection or any other concessions to its customers.

 

Customer Deposits

 

Customer deposits represent cash paid to the Company by customers before the product has been completed and shipped.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. FASB ASC Topic 718 requires companies to measure compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value at the grant date and recognize the expense over the employee’s requisite service period. The Company recognizes in the statement of operations the grant-date fair value of stock options and other equity-based compensation issued to employees and non-employees.

 

 

Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share

 

Earnings per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is based on the assumption that all dilutive convertible shares and stock warrants were converted or exercised. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. There were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

 

 

Segment Reporting

 

FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting, requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. The Company determined it has two reportable segments. See Note 7.

Reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts were reclassified to conform to the manner of presentation in the current period. These reclassifications had no effect on the net loss or stockholders’ equity.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-01 (Subtopic 225-20) - Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items. ASU 2015-01 eliminates the concept of an extraordinary item from GAAP. As a result, an entity will no longer be required to segregate extraordinary items from the results of ordinary operations, to separately present an extraordinary item on its income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations or to disclose income taxes and earnings-per-share data applicable to an extraordinary item. However, ASU 2015-01 will still retain the presentation and disclosure guidance for items that are unusual in nature and occur infrequently. ASU 2015-01 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-01 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted.

 

In February, 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 provides guidance on the consolidation evaluation for reporting organizations that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures (collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations, and mortgage-backed security transactions). ASU 2015-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-02 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Early adoption is permitted.

 

In September, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805). Topic 805 requires that an acquirer retrospectively adjust provisional amounts recognized in a business combination, during the measurement period. To simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts, the amendments in the Update require that the acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amount is determined. The acquirer is required to also record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.  In addition an entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes to the financial statements the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning December 15, 2015. The adoption of ASU 2015-016 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. The new guidance requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those annual periods. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of this ASU will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The guidance in ASU No. 2016-02 supersedes the lease recognition requirements in ASC Topic 840, Leases (FAS 13). ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize assets and liabilities arising from a lease for both financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand US Nuclear Corp, our operations and our present business environment. MD&A is provided as a supplement to—and should be read in conjunction with—our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The audited financial statements for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on April 14, 2016 should be read in conjunction with the discussion below. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for such periods have been included in these unaudited financial statements. 

 

We were incorporated in Delaware on February 14, 2012, and on March 2, 2012, we filed a registration statement on Form 10 to register with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as a public company.  We were originally organized as a vehicle to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, acquire a target company or business seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation.

 

On April 18, 2012, Richard Chiang, then our sole director and shareholder, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement whereby Mr. Goldstein of US Nuclear Corp purchased 10,000,000 shares of our common stock from Mr. Chiang, which constituted 100% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Mr. Chiang then resigned from all positions. Subsequently, on May 18, 2012, the Registrant appointed Mr. Chiang to serve as a member of the Board of Directors. He resigned from this position on March 31, 2013.

 

Since our acquisition of Overhoff Technology in 2006, we have had discussions with other companies in our industry for an acquisition. While we targeted Overhoff due to its unique position in the tritium market, we had not commenced an acquisition since our Overhoff Technology acquisition; we believe in part the reason was due to lack of additional capital, our status as a privately-held entity at the time, and focus on developing our own products. We will seek out companies whom our management believes will provide value to our customers and will complement our business. We will focus on diversifying our product line into a larger range so that our customers and vendors may have a more expansive experience in type, choice, options, price and selection. We also believe that with a more diverse product line we will become more competitive as our industry is intensely competitive.

 

Our current product concentration places a heavy reliance on our Overhoff Technology division; where we derived 19% of our total revenues in 2015 from one customer. We expect to encounter a continuation of this trend unless we are successful in diversifying our client base, executing our acquisition strategy and experience increases in business from our Technical Associates division.

 

Our international revenues were 54% of our total revenue in 2015. We expect this to increase over time as we continue to field new orders inquires and engage new customers overseas. We believe that Korea and China will likely be a larger contributor to revenue within the next few years. While we maintain steady growth domestically, the international side of our business may be a larger component as nuclear technology and rapid development for clean energy grows abroad. Additionally, the Company relies on continued growth and orders from CANDU reactors (Canada Deuterium Uranium), and rapid development of the next generation of nuclear reactors called Molten Salt Reactors, (MSR) and Liquid-Fluoride Thorium Reactors (LFTR), all of which purchase tritium detection and monitor products. There can be no assurances as to our growth projections and our risk profile as we depend upon increased foreign customers for business.

 

Additionally, we are inexperienced as a public company and may find it difficult to meet all of the challenges and expenses of being a public company.  As we commencing as a public company, we plan to raise capital by offering shares of our common stock or convertible debt to investors.  For the next twelve months, we anticipate we will need approximately $5,000,000 in additional capital to fund our business plans. If we do not raise the required capital we may not meet our expenses and there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so and if we do, we may find the cost of such financing to be burdensome on the Company. Additionally, we may not be able to execute on our business plans due to unforeseen market forces such as lower natural gas prices, difficulty attracting qualified executive staff, general downturn in our sector or by competition as we operate in an extremely competitive market for all of our product offerings.

 

 

Robert I. Goldstein, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors also maintains a position as President of Gold Team Inc., a Delaware company that invests in industrial real estate properties for investment purposes. He holds an 8% interest in Gold Team Inc. and spends approximately 5 hours per week with affairs related to Gold Team Inc. The Company leases its current facilities from Gold Team Inc. which owns both the Canoga Park, CA and Milford, Ohio properties at an expense of $6,000 for each facility per month. 

 

On September 30, 2014, we entered into a Forgiveness of Debt and Conversion Agreement with our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Robert I. Goldstein. We owed Mr. Goldstein, $868,828 in related party debt. Pursuant to this Agreement, Mr. Goldstein agreed to forgive $668,828 and we agreed to convert the balance of the debt, $200,000 into restricted shares of our Company at $0.20 cents per share. We then issued Mr. Goldstein 1,000,000 shares of our restricted common stock.

 

On October 16, 2014, our Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary, Darian B. Andersen resigned, effective, October 31, 2014. Mr. Andersen has been of service to the Company for more than 2 years. Our relationship with him was considered to be positive and his departure from our company was because of his desire to continuing pursuing his work as a legal attorney. On that same day, we retained the services of Rachel Boulds, as our Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary to fill the void left by Mr. Andersen. Ms. Boulds is an experienced accountant and former auditor for public companies having been employed at PCAOB member firms.

 

On November 4, 2014, we entered into a five-year Employment Agreement with our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Robert I. Goldstein. The Agreement calls for a salary of $100,000 per year, payable at the end of the fiscal year, with his compensation beginning in fiscal 2015 and payable in January 2016. Mr. Goldstein later agreed to reduce his compensation to $50,000 beginning in 2015.

Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $252,502 compared to $447,484 for the same period in 2015. The decrease of $194,982 or 43.6% is a result of a decrease in sales from our Optron and Overhoff subsidiaries of $$51,860 and $143,122, respectively. The decrease in sales from our Overhoff and Optron subsidiaries was due to the timing of the completion of larger orders. We revenue from the sale of our products when the orders are completed and we ship the product to our customer. At March 31, 2016, we had a backlog of orders that are expected to ship to our customers during the second and third quarters of 2016. The sales breakdown for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is as follows:

North America 65%

Asia (Including Japan) 31%

South America 4%

 

 

Our gross margins for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were 48.4% as compared to 53.3% for the same period in 2015. The decrease in gross margin is due to higher materials and overhead costs incurred in the manufacturing process.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 decreased by $38,236 or 14.2% over 2015 to $230,270 down from $268,506 for the same period in 2015. The decrease is a result our overall efforts to reduce operating expense.

 

Other expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $4,768, an increase of $34 from $4,734 for the same period in 2015. The increase is not significant.

 

Net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $112,814 compared to $34,896 for the same period in 2015. The increase in net loss of $77,918 was principally attributed to lower sales.

  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our operations have historically been financed by our majority stockholder. As funds were needed for working capital purposes, our majority stockholder would loan us the needed funds. During the year ended December 31, 2015, our majority stockholder loaned the Company $243,293, $52,629 of which was repaid. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we repaid $620 of the amount due to our majority stockholder. We anticipate funds the growth of our business through the sales of shares of our common stock and loans from our majority stockholder if necessary.

 

At March 31, 2016, total assets decreased by 2.5% to $3,412,320 from $3,498,619 at December 31, 2015 principally related to a decrease in cash offset by an increase in inventory.

 

At March 31, 2016, 2015, total liabilities increased by 3.5% to $783,994 from $757,479 at December 31, 2015 principally related to an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and customer deposits offset by a decrease in the line of credit.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our financial statements and related public financial information are based on the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP"). US GAAP requires the use of estimates; assumptions, judgments and subjective interpretations of accounting principles that have an impact on the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses amounts reported. These estimates can also affect supplemental information contained in our external disclosures including information regarding contingencies, risk and financial condition. We believe our use of estimates and underlying accounting assumptions adhere to GAAP and are consistently and conservatively applied. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We continue to monitor significant estimates made during the preparation of our financial statements.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes. ASC 740 requires a company to use the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

Under ASC 740, a tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The adoption had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

We believe the following is among the most critical accounting policies that impact our consolidated financial statements. We suggest that our significant accounting policies, as described in our financial statements in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, be read in conjunction with this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

·

have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

·

comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

 

·

submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and

 

·

disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

We will remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which would occur if the market value of our ordinary shares that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

 

As an emerging growth company, the company is exempt from Section 14A and B of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which require the shareholder approval of executive compensation and golden parachutes.

 

The Company is an Emerging Growth Company under the JOBS Act of 2012, but the Company has irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(B) of the JOBS Act. 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

  

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

None

 

 

Item 4.Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, we are responsible for conducting an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our internal 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 fiscal quarter covered by this report.  Disclosure controls and procedures means that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms relating to our company, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared.  Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2016.

 

Changes in internal controls

 

Our management, with the participation our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation to determine whether any change in our internal controls over financial reporting occurred during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that no change occurred in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal controls over financial reporting.
